ayAW

ayokong lumipas ang mga oras
gusto ko manatili ang bawat sandali
pwede bang hindi umusad ang mga araw
hindi dumating ang bukang liwayway
hindi sumapit ang dapit-hapon
at hindi masilayan ang sinag ng buwan.

gusto ko ang ngayon...
hindi ka akin pero ikaw ay nandyan
hindi hawak ang iyong mga kamay
pero malapit at abot-tanaw
hindi pag-aari ag iyong puso
pero alam ang pakiramdam.

konting panahon pa,
muli na namang mabibiyak ang aking puso
ulit mararanasan ang kawalan at pagkabigo
dahil
sa nalalapit mong paghakbang palayo.

(isang malungkot na tula, katha ang isang kaibigan na nasa gitna ng isang madramang proseso ng usaping puso. Salamat Hope Green sa pagbabahagi ng tula at kwento, hangad ko ang iyong kaligayahan. Nandito lang ako ♥)

Imagine me and you, I do
I think about you day and night, it's only right
To think about the girl you love and hold her tight
So happy together

If I should call you up, invest a dime
And you say you belong to me and ease my mind
Imagine how the world could be, so very fine
So happy together

I can't see me lovin' nobody but you
For all my life
When you're with me, baby the skies'll be blue
For all my life

Me and you and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice, it has to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me
So happy together

I can't see me lovin' nobody but you
For all my life
When you're with me, baby the skies'll be blue
For all my life

Me and you and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice, it has to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me
So happy together

Ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba

Me and you and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice, it has to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me
So happy together

So happy together
How is the weather
So happy together
We're happy together
So happy together
Happy together
So happy together
So happy together (ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba)

[UC had been practicing this song for several days already and every time they sing --a smile crosses my lips and my heart skips a beat. There is only one memory that lingers-- the story of you. It's good to see you again today, once more, I was taken by your smile, Angel Gabriel. toinks♥]

f*ing

ngiti sa labi
na hindi mapigil
at walang mapagkublihan.

kiliti sa puso
na may kakaibang pakiramdam
tila ba bumabalik ang mga nakaraan.

Kumusta ka na?
Saan ka na nakatira?
May asawa ka na kaya?
O baka dalaga at malaya?

ginugunita ko yung unang pakikita
sa isang seminar
ika’y napagmasdan
at nabighani ng kagandahan.

nadaan din sa isipan ang mga awitin ng kahapon
ano na nga ba ang tono noon?
marahil ang mga tugtugin ng gitara
ay muling maaalala kapag nakita kita.

naalala ko yung kwento ng ice cream
hay, bakit may mga paru-paro sa aking tiyan?
at sa tuwing kakain nito
may nagugunitang kwento tungkol sa’yo.

ngiti sa labi na 'di mapigil
sa mga text na tila kay sayang basahin
may kakaibang mahika
ang dala sa damdamin.

may kiliti pa rin sa puso
kahit kay tagal lang panahon ang lumupas
bakit tila ang mga alaala mo
at hindi kumukupas?

hahayaan ko na lamang ito
hindi na ako masyado magtatanong
at baka ang pag-uusap ay saan pa humantong.

ngiti sa labi
kiliti sa puso
hay, san nga ba pwede ihambing
ang spark na dala ng isang ka fling?

(like what i told you these are the moments of sparks and tickles. feel it. enjoy it, but never forget the deepest desire of your heart and your greatest love. dwell in this moment, D.E.)

Sparks

There are reasons and persons who made difference in our lives. Some of them stay for a while, others do remain for a longer time. This entry is for My Moon and Stars-who brought light during dark days, who sustains love in friendship, who give reasons to smile, who holds my hands, who makes my heart happy and who asks, risks and love.
Original Sunshine, gone were the days that I neglect your texts and reject your calls. Today, I know my heart better and it’s call. You continue to brighten my days with excitement and colors but I know my choice and I embrace it. Your presence brought light during my dark days, I am deeply grateful. My apologies for the pain I caused you and thank you for understanding. Now, we know who we are and I am happy. I am your friend, I deeply care for you and will always be. Thank you for all and be happy. Cute ka pa rin para sa akin hehehe.
Summer, for all that had been and will be--you remain to be one of the best in my life. Thank you, dear friend for everything. I will treasure you and continue to grow in the friendship that we have. Stay happy and truly blessed.
George, there are days that you really surprise me with your smile and your simple gestures. My heart skips every time you amazed me. We lived in two different worlds--you are silent, I am loud. You’re home buddy, I love social life. You smile in silence, I laugh out loud. You are cautious, I am careless. You like to be alone, I love crowds. We have totally different personalities yet I’m glad that in friendship we learn to accept and love each other. Thank for your silence, simplicity, thoughtfulness and sweet smile that I usually encounter in most unexpected places and circumstances. Aaminin ko, minsan kiikilig ako sayo hahaha…
Mybok, thank you for the chocolates, books and football times. Through the years, thank you for holding my hands and loving my heart. I love you too much (that’s why we are friends). I look forward to seeing you soon and celebrate once more our beautiful heart connections. My Wednesdays are special because of you. Stay sweet and forever, i keep you in my heart. hahaha akala ng iba bf kita, toinks!
Angel Gabriel, there are moments that you really caught me off guard, in a happy way. I am grateful for the companionship we shared you helped me to be strong in my doubts and you allowed me to journey with you in your low moments. Truly we sing off beat tunes but I know together we create beautiful music. Thank you moonlight. Pinapalukso mo minsan ang puso ko hehehe
Mr Heart String, you seems to be the biggest surprise of all. You had my yes, so make sure you make most of this chance. I hope to know your world and as you would like to know mine. The distance between us and the schedule we have may not be friendly at all times. As you said there are ways to cross distance and time. Maybe, then let see... Minsan kinakabahan ako kasi baka mawalan ako ng immunity laban sa'yo hehehe...

Beyond the fleeting seasons and mysteries of life—thank you for bringing beautiful sparks in my heart--
to friendship and beyond—Cheers!
Happy Valentines!♥

andyan ka na naman
parang kaylan lang
minsan ka lang mawala
pero bakit parang
nakakamiss ka bigla.

sana 'wag naman masanay
kasi...
alam mo na,
kumplikado ang mga bagay-bagay.

pero sa kahit anong paraan mo
palagi kang wagi
lagi mo akong napapangiti.

[inspirasyon mula sa mga ngiti ni Bb. Chi Na Ey]

♥

Ang puso na may wagas na pag-ibig at tunay na nagmamahal hindi napapagod. Handa nitong ipagdiwang ang lahat ng bagay nang mapagpalaya at hindi makasarili. Bukas na magtaya sa kaligayahan at pagkalubos ng kabuunan ng minamahal. Hindi ito manhid sa pagsakit at paghihirap subalit sa kadakilaan ng pagmamahal may lakas ito at tiwala. Tanggap na ang kapalaran ng pagmamahal at nasa kamay ng Bathala at ang gawa ay nasa pagbibigay ng buong sarili sa minamahal. Nagnanais ito ng paglago ng pagkatao, paglalim ng pananaw sa buhay at pagyakap ng buo sa damdamin.
Marami ang nagnanais at naghahagad ng tunay na pag-ibig, ngunit minsan, ito ay mailap. Marahil kailangan talagang maghintay, magpagod at magtiyaga upang maging kapakipakinabang at nararapat sa espesyal na biyaya.

Amen

Salamat sa walang sawang pagmamahal
walang katapusang pagyakap ng pag-ibig mo sa akin
hindi sapat ang salitang mahal rin kita
kung gaano ako kasaya na minamahal mo ako.

Ikaw, Kristo ang aking Panginoon
ngayon at magpakaylanman.
Amen.

When I see your face, there's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing, just the way you are
And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while--BM

'di naman dapat mag explain
hindi rin kailangan magpaalam
ang cute mo lang kasi tingnan,
hindi naman ako nagtatanong
bakit ka nagpapaliwanag?
wala naman ako sinasabi
bakit ka bumabawi?

'wag kang ganyan
ikaw ha, baka ano na yan?

gaya ng dati,
nagdala ka na naman ng ngiti
sa aking mga labi.

salamat, angel gabriel.♥

Moontime. Moments of solitude, to listen to the stirrings within. Days of retreat and prayer, to look into the greatness in nothingness and emptiness in perfection. Time alone--to explore, to cry, to laugh, to forgive, to be thankful, to be naughty, to be nice, to dream, to win, to lose, to risk. To live and love.
My God. His eyes, looking at me. His hands, embracing me. His heart, loving me. I received many blessings, sacrificed some. I experienced abundance of happiness, endured some pains. For everything that You gave me, all of me is yours, my Lord.

365.25 days of beautiful life!♥♥♥
