Dear George,

For all the sparks that had been ignited in the past and at present still, I don’t understand all of them. There are so many things that I want to clarify, but I don't know how. Here are several questions I hope one day, I’ll be brave enough to ask you…

● Paano ka ba nagkaroon ng cellphone number ko? ‘Di mo kasi inaaamin kung bakit at paano ka nagkaroon nun (bago pa tyo naging magkaibigan).
● Alam mo ba, two years ago sabi nila (ng mga kaibigan ko) sweet daw tayo kapag magkasama, akala nga nila nililigawan mo ako, ano comment mo?
● Ano ba ang status mo ngayon at ang plano mo tungkol dito?
● Lately, mamimiss ko yung dating tayo, pero takot din akong bumalik dun, kasi dami nating pagkakaiba saka komplikasyon, ikaw ba namimiss mo din?
● Alam mo bang minsan kinikilig ako sa’yo, hindi ko alam kung bakit at ano ang gagawin ko, ano masasabi mo?

You’re one of the most complex man I’ve known in my life, you’re mysterious and unpredictable. We do not have anything in common. I do not really know you. But one thing, when you’re there I'm a certified SF, and I think you are too.
Babadapbadap *wink*
Salamat ha araw-araw mo napapasaya ang puso ko hehe...

Let’s see,
Via

ikaw na

May naibahagi ako kay kuya ilong ranger na kwento. Tuwang-tuwa sya at halos 'di na makahinga (imagine sa ilong nyang yun, kinulang ng hangin hehe). Ako din ang puso ko 'di lang lumulukso parang drop fall ang feeling. Hindi ako kinikilig, major major super duper kilig.
Nag sulat si kuya ng tula s fb, feeling ko masyado api yung isang character, kaya gumawa din ako ng tula bilang kasagutan.

para kay George, ang IKAW ni Via
waaah

Ikaw
Na sa isang sulyap lang, hatid ay kiliti sa aking puso,
Ngiti lang mula sa’yo buo na ang araw ko
At saglit na panahon ika’y maka-usap parang ako’y nasa ulap…

Ikaw
Na sobrang tahimik at ‘di masyado palakaibigan
Ang ugali at personalidad mo na kakaiba
Bihirang tumawa at hindi mahilig gumala…

Ikaw
na kapag kasama ko--
may kakaibang tibok ang aking puso
may bighaning taglay na sorpresang nararamdaman
ngunit sa mahika mong dala, ang puso ko ay sobrang masaya…

salamat sa ligayang hatid mo sa buhay ko
'di ako magsasawa, sana manatili kang--IKAW.

20 of 12

Here is how I would like to spend my 2012
They are additional items to my bucket list, my crazy 20 of 12

1. Participate in 12 running events. I'm planning to accomplish a full marathon (42km). I also want to run for a cause, given the opportunity. I will wear my personalized bib (RUNNING HAPPY. LIVING FREE. LOVING MORE.), every time.
2. Attend 12 weddings. Among my friends and relatives it will be impossible to reach that number (not many of them will get married by 2012) So I'm planning to gate crash if necessary to complete the target hahaha!
3. Celebrate 12 birthdays. I will celebrate birthdays of other people in special way with birthday cake, birthday cap and banners.
4. Collect 12 Starbucks tumblers. I'll be happy to have a dozen more, an addition to my collection (sb tumbler gifts are still accepted).
5. Treat 12 special people I would love to share special moments with special people (places and persons are of my choice).
6. No carbo-day for 12 days in one year Once a month voluntary hunger strike! I hope I will be able to sustain and survive!
7. Drink soft drinks for only 12 days in a year. I will consume 1 liter each day, para sulit hahaha!
8. Learn to cook 12 dishes. At lutuin ito ng masarap at sana magustuhan din ng iba.
9. Adventure travel to 12 tourist destinations in the Philippines It will be a back pack adventure travel/s, maximum of Php1,000.00 a day. I will spend lazy and carefree days in the mountains, seas, islands and air (with travel buddies). Indeed IT'S MORE FUN IN THE PHILIPPINES (gandang pilipinas continues!)
10. Read 12 classic novels. I asked a friend to recommend books to read. My target is to finish at least 1 book per month. It will definitely be a good time.
11. Watch 12 classic movies. I still don't have any ideas what movies. Can you recommend some?
12. Eat 12 exotic dishes I want to taste--something nakakaiba, kahit hindi masarap basta walang lason. It will be very challenging!
13. Text 12 persons each day. Super tamad akong magtext but I really would like to do it. I want to give them something to smile about.
14. Be productive at work and in life at least 12 hours every day. I give my best hours at work. I give my best in life.
15.I will place 12 bets in different games/lottery. I hope to win and become rich! I'll start searching for my lucky numbers.
16. I will save 12 pesos each day. At the end of the year, i will spend it. I don't have any idea yet as to what and for whom.
17. Learn and sing 12 songs. Kakanta ako at kakantahan kita. Iduduyan ko ang puso mo sa musika!
18. Pray for 12 persons every day. I will pray for their special intentions. I hope that in my little way I'll be of help in the fulfillment of their hearts' desire.
19. Celebrate 12 moonlights and sunshines. I will embrace life with a brave heart, I will discern, risk and love.
20. Learn, love and live the next 12 months while--running happy, living free, loving more, embracing life and thanking God.

there is only desire that fuels everything--
that is to take each moment, live each time,
journey each step to be closer...

You can reach me by railway, you can reach me by trail way
You can reach me on an airplane, you can reach me with your mind
You can reach me by caravan, cross the desert like an Arab man
I don't care how you get here, just- get here if you can
You can reach me by sailboat, climb a tree and swing rope to rope
Take a sled and slide down the slope, into these arms of mine
You can jump on a speedy colt, cross the border in a blaze of hope
I don't care how you get here, just- get here if you can
**There are hills and mountains between us
Always something to get over
If I had my way, then surely you would be closer
I need you closer (interlude, then repeat bridge)
You can windsurf into my life,
take me up on a carpet ride
You can make it in a big balloon,
but you better make it soon
You can reach me by caravan,
cross the desert like an Arab man
I don't care how you get here,
just- get here if you can
I don't care, I don't care,
I need you right here right now
I need you right here, right now,
right by my side (yeah,yeah, yeah, yeah)
I don't care how you get here, just- get here if you can

sa tuwing naririnig ko ang awiting ito, ikaw ang naaalala ko. August din yun di ba? ilang August na rin ang lumipas, pero sa kantang ito ikaw pa rin ang himig ko. sana patuloy kang maging masaya at walang sawang yakapin ang kahulugan ng buhay at tunay na pag-ibig. salamat sa lahat, hayaan mo balang-araw makikita rin tayo.

hello sunshine...
hindi mo lang (siguro) alam
kung gaano mo ako napapasaya
sa mga simpleng bagay
sa ordinaryong pag-uusap
sa nakasanayang ugnayan
tuwa talaga ang dulot mo sa akin
pati kilig na rin
kaya ang puso ko nakangiti
at tila may kakaibang kiliti
ang humahaplos sa aking damdamin
sa tuwing iisipin ko na ika'y nariyan
salamat ha...
(hanggang sa muli ha ♥♥♥)
toinks!

exempted

ang qualifications, standards at ideals
ay para lang sa taong
'di mo gusto, ayaw gustuhin at disqualified
kasi pag nag love ka
'di na yun applicable
kasi yung taong mahal mo
siya yung exempted at may immunity
sa standards, ideals at qualifications...

(message alert tone)
another rainy day.
how are you.
keep dry.
be safe.
take care.
i miss you.

weeeh...
don't worry i'm okey here.
para ring binabagyo ang puso ko
sa kilig dahil sa text mo
thank you

another sunday's best

(late post)
among all the great blessings
God allowed me to have
you are one the greatest...

i am deeply loved and
my life is happy
because
you are my daddy...

happy father's dad

green

tapos na ang summer, nandito na ang tag-ulan.
kulay berde na ang paligid
hay...
naaalala kita
kumusta ka na kaya?
tagal na nating 'di nagkikita
'di na mabilang na dapit-hapon
ganun din na bukang-liwayway...
kelan kaya tayo muling magkakatagpo?
pangarap na--
masilayan ang iyong mukha
masabayan ang iyong mga tawa
makasalo sa hapag-kainan
makakwentuhan ng walang katapusan
malasing ng sabay
maglaitan ng walang sawa
damayan sa iyakan
kasabay magsimba
mangarap sa ilalim ng buwan
hay…
ilang taon na ba?
gaano katagal pa kaya?

Kay ganda ng buwan ngayong gabi
Sana napagmamasdan mo rin...
Sabi ko nga sa buwan--
Ngitian ka ng buong tamis at ibulong sa’yo
“miss na kita green lantern”
♥♥♥

lucky me

I placed a bet on this week’s big lotto jackpot. I spent 20 on it pesos (isang cornetto na yun). I hoped to be the lucky winner (along with millions of Filipinos).

I did not win, but someone did.
With that, I asked myself,—what are the “treasures” of my life?

•My beautiful family whose love sustains me through the years, across the distance and beyond the test of times. Their love strengthens me to spread my wings and soar high.
•The countless relatives who made my growing years (up to this date) really remarkable and truly fun. I have countless memories and experiences of happy times with them.
•Wonderful and genuine friends who made me happy with their companionship and undaunted support. They are the angels who brought sparkles of heaven on the path I walk on earth.
•My mentors who taught, motivated and patiently formed me through my education and provided inspiration beyond classrooms and throughout my life.
•My life. It cuddles opportunities and chances that give me occasions to discern and to choose. The ability to search, hope, risk, love, hold on, let go, set free and move on. The moments to learn, forget, remember, cherish, linger, dwell, nurture, reap, sustain and change. The times of laughter, tears, pain, joys, sorrows, triumphs, consolations, desolations, answers, doubts, fullness and emptiness. The instances of enlightenment, confusion, darkness, light, depths, shallow, shadows and clarity. All these, I have felt in one way or another, speak to me heart and created stirrings that lead to embrace fully my life.

I am not perfect but I’m giving my best shots to remain committed to magis. I rely my entire being on my Core, my Creator. I am committed to grow more in my intimate relationship with my God.

I may have a good life but I don’t have everything. I still desire for more and want many.

I looked at my lotto ticket, reality sipped in. I did not win, but somebody did. However, the question, stirred me to look deeply into the realities of my life and made me appreciate more the countless blessings I have. I guess all these are far better than 356 million grand prize. For having and living my life with the people I love and with the opportunities I have is far beyond better than hitting the jackpot.

Once again I bowed my head...
Lord, thank you for all. I don’t have everything but I have the bests. Lucky me.
At isa pa, birthday ko nga pala ngayon. Yehey!

basta

Sa tuwing tayo'y magkakalayo
Hindi matahimik ang puso ko
Bawat sandali hanap kita
'Di mapakali hanggang muling makita ka
Dahil kung ika'y makita na
Labis-labis ang tuwang nadarama
Magisnan lamang ang kislap ng iyong mata
Kahit ano pa ay kakayanin ko na

**Basta't kasama kita
Lahat magagawa
Lahat ay maiaalay sa'yo
Basta't kasama kita
Walang kailangan pa
Wala nang hahanapin pa
Basta't kasama kita.

Giliw, sana ay ikaw na nga
Ang siyang mananatiling kasama ko
Dahil kung ika'y mawawala
Pati lahat sa buhay ko'y maglalaho

Repeat**

Walang kailangan pa
Wala nang hahanapin pa
Basta't kasama kita.

luma na ang kantang 'to. korni rin kung iisipin. pero kamakailan lamang ay nakuha ang atensyon ko ng muli ko itong marinig(dun sa korean teleserye na secret garden hahaha). ewan ko ba kung bakit may kilig at kakaibang haplos sa damdamin ko. para bang may kiliti sa puso ko tuwing naririnig ko ito. pakiramdam na may mumunting kuryente na tumatawid sa aking dibdib at nagdadala ng ngiti sa labi ko. toinks!

siguro dahil, ikaw ang naiisip ko--espesyal ka talaga sa buhay ko.

hehe, excited na ako magvideoke. kakantahin ko ito sigurado.♥♥♥

sunday's best

Dear God, please bless all mothers, specially mine. Thank you so much for their great love, constant presence and gentle hands that unceasingly love and nurture us. They have shown and shared to us generosity, endurance and strength through their comforting words and unparalleled support that motivate and inspire us in our endeavors. May we (their children) make them proud and happy for they are our inspiration. And through our simple ways, may we make they feel that they are loved beyond measure and they are irreplaceable in our lives. Amen.

mama, without powers and magic you are the best heroine in my life.♥♥♥

ticktack

The countdown begins
One day at a time...

Every sunrise, every sunset
I’ll spend them with you
Every smile, every frown
I’ll share them with you
Every surprise, every expectation
I make them come true
Every success, every triumph
I’ll celebrate them with you
Every tear drop, every downfall
I’ll cry with you

The countdown begins
Every heartbeat,
Will be for you
Until our last day
together

[for hope green and violet ranger, until the end]
♥♥♥

you make me like you each time you said my name
your voice is such a beautiful music to my ears
each time i see your smile my heart leaps for joy
your presence brings gladness that makes my days happier
i'm truly grateful that you are here.

tough days are coming
the countdown begins
i'm staying.
♥

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 ♥)

HT

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.)

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.

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.♥
