Affirmations for Good Luck

Below is a very timely piece I found in my 2001 diary, and I think this is pretty much appropriate for these trying times. I think I imported this from Art Borjal's column in The Philippine Star.


Every day in every way, I am getting luckier and luckier.
Every day in every way, I am getting more and more blessed.
Every day in every way, I am getting more and more fortunate.
Every day in every way, I am getting more and more favored.
Every day in every way, I am getting more and better chances and prospects.
Every day in every way, I am getting better and better at recognizing good opportunities.
Every day in every way, Lady Luck smiles at me.
Every day in every way, good fortune comes my way.
Every day in every way, I am getting better and better at creating my own good luck, realizing that only I can help myself build my own fortune and fulfill my own destiny.

Word Wrap a.k.a. Lunatic Charm

So some words kept on running to and fro my eyes. They came from various sources on my left, my right, above - everywhere. And then I thought it's better to compile the same and make a poem. This time it's very stream of consciousness, first-drafty type writing. There are times I feel all these mysterious words and have all these confusing thoughts bouncing around inside my brain, and the only way I can think to relieve myself is to jam it all out through my fingers. And click. Sort of like creative Tourette's or something. Whatevah.*

Is It Morning Yet?

The night went like a blur;
No streak of humanity,
No buzz, dreams and whispers.
Is it morning yet?



Tears freely flowed to my cheeks;
Wiping didn't help,
Remembering pain so deep.
Is it morning yet? 



Darkness inside and outside;
Frantic beating of heart,
Loopy thump-thump-thump.
Is it morning yet?



I curled up like a fetus;
Pillow serving as the sole comfort,
Cold blanket reeking of body scent.
Is it morning yet?
