I See The Shinning Stars

Every Sunday
with my dad.
We go sundays only
at nine.
We sit and talk
laying on the garden
just staring at the
deep blue sky

No comets ever
fly by,
just stars,
glowing and glowing
and glowing

Sometimes we don't talk
we just hear the sound
of the wind blow through our body

It calms me down
when I'm worried
mad or
afraid
it's my mini sanctuary

The police point of veiw

The lights of the police station dim down. Only me and my partner remain there, eager to go. Suddenly somebody knocks brusquely on the door. What could it be? I wondered. I stand up and see this woman clad with some pajamas and a pair of flip flops. She had this gruesome grimace while she kept on knocking the door non-stop. I finally got to the door and let her in.

I surmised something had gone terribly wrong, but after hearing what she said about her neighbor, I knew she was one of those people that hate their neighbors. Or so I thought. She derived some more pieces of electrifying information, and that is when we drove to the suspects house thinking it would be a cursory case to solve.

When we finally got to the suspects house. Me and my partner started knocking loudly to wake up the man in case he was asleep. Which he was not because he attended immediately, as if he was waiting for us. The man simulated his smile and started saying.

"May I help you Officers?"

"Yes, we came to search the house. Someone reported hearing some awkward noises."

"Well that is weird! Come in then. Search all you want!" He slowly stepped aside to let us in. He showed us every room and corner in the house. We gingerly searched but found nothing out of place.

Finally after the search we were about to leave and the man offered us some drinks. We were dehydrated because in the station water wasn't available, so we accepted some glasses of water. As we drank with delight, the man was staring at us. He looked nervous. He looked guilty and started breathing deeply and loudly. And that is when he shouted something unexpected.
He screamed that he was guilty and that he killed the man. We immediately got in our car with him on the back seat and went to prison to lock him up for life. At last he actually collaborated with our job because they promoted us for finding the suspect.

Waking Up


I dream like no other. I just love to sleep and dream. But there is a bad ending to every good story. In this case, waking up. Those same three knock on my door my nanny always makes. I just hate it. I keep the anger to myself.
At first I just ignore it thinking it is a senseless part of my dream, but then those stupid annoying three knock again. Only difference, it is louder. Much louder. That is when I wake up and say:
"I'm up!!" With one eye opened and one eyed closed. That's my wake up routine for every day, well, the majority of them. Sometimes their is the bucket of doom day. It's when I don't wake up and my nanny bring this purple bucket and spills it in my face. And there are the days when she just puts the radio right next to my ear, full volume. Welcome to my wake up life. 
As you can see, I hate waking up. And I will probably will never like waking up. That is just me.

Computer..and the suitcase

 
Last year my English teacher (Mrs. Meadows) always used to tell me the same thing each day: "Paulo, you need a protective cover for that computer. "
I took her advice but forgot immediately. Now guess what?  I  didn't have a protective cover until now,  just after the tragic injury of my computer.  Yes, I was horrified.  And each time I remember about the accident when my computer fell and I had to take it to Mac store and knowing that technicians are still trying to fix it after 2 and a half weeks, I remember Mrs Meadows telling me to buy a protective cover.

I realized that being lazy to get something that is really necessary will take you nowhere. Next time Mrs. Meadows gives me an advice, I will consider it very seriously.

This Year I Hope...


The opponents pass right by us.
Scoring basket after basket,
Our lungs beg for rest
After few minutes of play
We have no team 
We have no soul
Most of us
dont even try. 

Effortless practices 
Effortless games
We are the spiders 
That cant catch  fly
We are the planes
That cant reach the sky
My body filled 
With regret and hate.
I knew I was making a 
Big mistake 
should of been
Better 
Faster 
Smarter 
And stronger

Ive waited
For a second chance,
A chance 
To show my team
we can
Win.
 
This year I hope to win the leauge with my basketball team.
