Cold Christmas

Christmas reminds me of someone;

Someone special that I long to see

The cold breeze makes me ponder

Thinking of him leaves me wonder.

Thousands of questions bugs my mind

Seems like the answers are hard to find

Isn't holiday season a time to be happy?

But why is it I am feeling so lonely?

We were together on Christmas day;

And I thought it would last forever

I don't want to end it over

Yet the relationship didn't last any longer.

Christmas marks my new beginning,

A time to search for its true meaning...

Though he was once my bitter past,

I still hope that he would be my last.

DES' Life, I Rule

Live life to the fullest
And learn to stand on its hard test.
Live life with faith
And learn to hold the struggles tight.
Live life as a journey
And learn to take the right path on its valley.
Live life like a butterfly
And learn to exercise your freedom correctly.
Live life in its divinity
And learn to take control of your uncertainty.
Live life with simplicity
And learn to understand its complexity.
Live life based on principles of love
And learn to follow the examples from above.

Learn how to die, to learn how to live!

His Little Miss Moon ♥

I love the way you touch my hair
I love the way you touch my hand as we ride on a bus
I love the way you stare at me
I love it when I always caught you staring at me when I am not looking,
I love the way you wipe my face when you see
               a drop of sweat appearing in my face.

I love it when you kiss me in the cheeks when I get upset
I love the way when you hold me when I'm angry at you
I love the way you smell my hair when I fall asleep on your shoulder
I love the way you kiss my hand, as if I was special.

I love the way when you pinch my nose when I'm always trying to crinkle my nose
I love the way when you hug me when you can
I love it when you always accompany me to watch flicks
I love it when you hold my arm and let me calm down when I'm panicking.

I never expected I will meet someone like you
I maybe blinded 'coz you're there for a long time
Sorry for letting you gone unnoticed
But, I love you, more than I love anyone
You always make my name sound so special,
But my favorite one is when you called me,
"Miss Tur-og" (My Moon)

Thou Shall Not Tell A Lie

"Our economy is blooming!"
A line I find no offense
But also sort of bit nonsense
And an act of self-defense.

There's nothing wrong to dream
But to tell a lie is a grim
There's no chance of concealing the truth
For behind the bars of poverty we are caught.

As peso and dollars keep rolling
Like angry flash of thunder and lightning
I still keep on seeking and waiting
For the visibility of the uttered word,
"Our economy is blooming!"

Theology classes taught me the 8th commandment
Hammering our heads with enlightenment
When I heard that line
I just made a deep sigh
For my professor once said,
"Thou shall not tell a lie."

Taking The Next Step

When I was a child
I knew nothing but cry
I was always cuddled by my mother
And life's problem for me wasn't a big matter.

As I entered school
I was taught about things that I should know
Slowly I began to mature and grow
And life for me started to shine and grow.

Soon when I finish my studies
I would be entering into a new world
New principles in life will I take hold
I knew nothing of what the future is to unfold.

Now, as I live in a world of uncertainty
I begin to have doubts of my ability
Am I really ready to take the next step?

Or will I allow others to go ahead?

KABATAAN: Naglalahong Pag-asa Ng Bayan

Sa aking paglaki,

Tinuring kong pangalawang tirahan ang paaralan

Tahanang walang makakapantay sa aking natututunan

Dito ako pinasok ng aking mga butihing magulang

Para matutong bumasa, sumulat at gumalang.

Ngunit paano mga katulad kong kabataan

Na 'di naranasan tumapak sa paaralan

Ano nang mangyayari sa kanilang kinabukasan

Kung lagi lang silang nakatambay sa daan?

Mga nakikita ko sa lansangan

Ka-edad kung batang matanda na kung tignan

At ako'y naaawa tuwing sila'y aking tinititigan

Di nakapag-aral dahil sa kahirapan.

At ng dahil sa hirap ng buhay

Natutuksong gumawa ng masama ang kabataan

Tulad ng pagnanakaw at pagsisira ng ari-arian

At 'di nila sinasadya, dahil ito'y kailangan.

Paano lulutasin ang mga problema nating hinaharap

Kung ang ating mga pinuno ay walang pakialam sa paghihirap

Palaging pangako ang mga salitang binibitawan

Tuwing eleksyon dahil boto natin ang kailangan.

Ano na ang nangyayari sa ating bayan?

Kung ganito ang katulad kong mga kabataan?

At paano narin ang kasabihang,

"Ang kabataan ang pag-asa ng bayan?"

I Want To Be

I want to be a writer
My own stories I will offer
To inspire others in their life
And change wrong things to right.

I want to be a painter
Paint the town
And be good as Renato is.

I want to be a great chef
Make food for good health
For me and for my three siblings
And for mom who desperately cooked for us.

I want to be a singing sensation
Like my sister while she take a bath
Like the gays during every fiesta
Like the priests during the Misa.

I want to save the world like Darna
Kill the fire that destroyed my cousins' house
Punish those corrupt policemen
Hunt the thief who rubbed us.

I want to be a teacher
Help kids with their lessons
And help all parents for them to be able
To continue sending their kids to school.

I want to be an architect
A dream  made out of sticks
Build homes that will protect
The lives of all rejects.

I have still so many dreams
But where's Accounting, I haven't mention to;
I know I can make it come true.

Thank You

Thanks to those who hated me,

you made me stronger.

Thanks to those who loved me,

you made my heart go fonder.

Thanks to those who cared,

you made me feel important.

Thanks to those who entered into my life,

you made who I am today.

Thanks to those who left,

you showed me that nothing lasts forever.

Thanks to those who stayed,

you showed me true friendship.

Thanks to those who listened,

you made me like I was worth it.

Read My Mind

If you could ever read my mind
I don't know what I'd do.
For all the things I think about
would all be known to you.

You would know just how I feel
when you're far away from me.
And what it is that makes me think
and how I'd like to be.

I could never hide my thoughts
and maybe that's not good.
'Cause sometimes when I'm mad at you
I don't act the way I should.

Sometimes knowing what I think
would strip me of my pride.
Then maybe you would love me less
and not stay by my side.

So reading minds are for gypsies, 
not for you my dear.
For every single thought I have
would make it all so clear
how much I think of you.

I Have 5 Fingers For A Reason

THUMB: to show the world I'm gonna be okay.
POINTER: to pick out my dearest family members.
MIDDLE: for those bitches who push me too far.
INDEX: for that special guy when the time is right.
PINKIE: For my best friend and the promises I'll never break.
