posting Ely's poem, a reply on sa isip lang.

remember the days we’re together?
isn’t it bittersweet and no reservations..
who thought that will be forever?
letting our heart flows in different directions..

grudges have no room anyway,
who do you think someone had a regret?
in some point we have those decisions what would I say..
never in my deepest soul, should I forget?

life is a choice of your own will..
how about the Almighty hands to you?
His plans are perfect , so better stand still..
did I said I follow mine or to those are few..

this again a piece made to you to think..
can somehow tell the contents of my within?
you can read twice and have a single blink..
are you a good one to be that keen?

"Our planet is filled with heroes, young and old, rich and poor, man, woman of different colors, shapes and sizes. We are one great tapestry. "Each person has a hidden hero within, you just have to look inside you and search it in your heart, and be the hero to the next one in need.

"So to each and every person inside ...this theater and for those who are watching at home, the hero in you is waiting to be unleashed. Serve, serve well, serve others above yourself and be happy to serve. As I always tell to my co-volunteers ... you are the change that you dream, as I am the change that I dream, and collectively we are the change that this world needs to be." Efren Penaflorida

We are created unique; every one of us has the ability to transform whatever we want to everything we wanted to be. We have the power to think and knowledge to create something substantial and tangible that would uplift the betterment of our surrounding. If all of us have just to look inside our hearts and radiates that to everyone, this world would be a better place to live in. Everyone would have an equal share to what is available to us.

Everything boils into one word “LOVE”. If we have love for mankind and humanity, we have to act now; it is not yet too late for us to catch up on the things we have lost. I know it is not easy achieving our goals, there will be ups and down, all we have to do is to believe and have faith that we can achieve it. Let us unleash the hero within us, share the love within us and be an example that others may follow.

A toast to "Kuya EF", may you continue to be a good example of doing extraordinary things and may GOD bless you always!

i thought there is someone better than you
nobody knows what we’ve been through
i have found something that never can replace
the space you fill in my heart, no one can erase….

posting Ann Agustin reply on my poem sa isip lang

winner ka badonng… sa pag-gawa ng tula…
sa pagbasa nito ako ay namangha…
mga adventures and get-away iyong nilathala…
sa pag babalik tanaw ako ay tumula…

di matatawaran ating mga pinagdaanan…
mga simpleng mithi, malayo ang napadparan
sa bawat usap at kamustahan, loob ay gumagaan
kalungkutan ay napapawi pag mensahe at chats na ang pinag-tutuunan…

salamat sa lahat ng inyong pananatili…
sa barkadahang ito tayo ay nakatali…
malayo man sa pisikal, puso’t isip ay wagi
basta nandyan ang kaibigang winner ka kung pinili….

sA iSip LaNg

Ito'y pagpupugay sa mga kaibigang tunay

Na sa puso’t isip ay kailan ma’y di nawalay

Saan man mapadpad pagkakaibiga’y taglay

Sama-samang inaabot mga hangaring binuhay

Ito and simula ng pagkakaibigang makulay

Naalala mo pa ba mga nakaraang napakasaya

Kasama na rin mga lungkot na minsan dala’y luha

Mga tampuhan na kung iisipi’y sa ngayo’y nakakatawa

May tatalo pa ba sa ating mga ganitong eksena

Na sa pagdaan ng taon ay kaygandang balikan tuwina

Sa bahay nila Inay at Agus, sa Bulacan ay napadalas

Handa nila Nanay at Mama ay ubos at masarap na likas

Swimming nagkayayaan kaya daan sa Puerto Galera’y binagtas

Papunta sa Corregidor sa barko sama ng loob naibulalas

Na di mawari kung anong mangyayari sa pagdating ng bukas

Sa awa ng Diyos ating napagtagumpayan

Mga pagsubok sa atin ay kanyang pinapasan

Upang maging matatag para sa ano pa man

At sa tulong niyo kaibigan aking nalagpasan

Mga salitang magaganda sa aking loob ay nakagaan

Tayo’y nangarap, plano ay nabuo “Laudry shop” naitayo

Salamat kina Flora, Nelson, at Fria na naging abalang puno

Mga masasayang trip sa Subic palaging takbo

Kotse ni Inay at Agus dyan ay panalo

Masarap na tulog sa apartment nila Flora at Nelson ay isa pang panalo!

Di rin pahuhuli ang ating Tagaytay adventure

Siksikan sa kotse ni Agus ating nasurvive

Sarap ng kape at lamig sa Starbucks ay na endure

Sa maliit na kuwarto’y tabi-tabi’t walang demure

At sa Bag of Beans almusal ay mahusay!

San man mapadpad komunikasyo’y nandyan

YM chat siyang naging huntahan

Yahoo Mail naging sulatan

Yan ang patunay na kahit san man

Sa pagkakaibigang di mapapantayan

Salamat mga kaibigan ko

Kayo’y dumating sa buhay ko

Di ko man sinasabi mahal ko kayo

Sa aking mga panalangin kasama ko kayo

Di man tayo nagkikita nasa puso ko kayo!

Basta isipin mo lang….mangyayari!

I was thinking very deeply and contemplating on myself lately of the opportunities and blessings I may say pouring into me, do I deserve all of this?

Then everything came just like a flash of lightning. When I was a child all I just wanted was to grow up, go to school, graduate from college, work, be rich, and have a family. When I started working, all my aspirations changed and shifted to what I dreamed of.After being hired by SMART and working for them, I thought that will be all, work, earn money to be rich and help the family, but I was wrong. I am one of those people not contented with what I have, I want more. Being not contented, my expenses also became bigger that what I’m earning cannot compensate, it wasn’t just enough. When I was employed overseas, I thought this will be the end, it will me much enough for me and my family but, I was wrong again. As my earning became bigger, my expenses as well. Right then, I kept thinking when will be the time I’ll stop wanting for more?

After meditating to all the things that I have done, I may say I have no regrets. All things happen for a reason, God doesn’t give you anything that you cannot endure and surpass. As they say “we make our own destiny”. I am not saying I deserve all the blessings; I have just done what is right, to help and give back what I have. Being not contented for purpose to help my family gave me a reason to pursue what I have started. I don’t set any goals for myself before and plan to keep it that way for now; I’ll just take things as they come to me and hope to have a decisive mind as always.

As of now, I don’t have any answer yet to when will I stop wanting for more. All I wanted is to be the best I can be. Provide and support the family as long as I can.

“Sana di mapagod and Diyos sa paggabay, pagsubaybay at pagtupad sa aking mga kahilingan.”

Diary of my Life

Have you seen my future?

No, it is I who will make it

It will be me who will traverse the feat

To conquer my fears and cowardice

To be brave and succeed courageously

I have been in the past

The yearning and longing instilled

I have fallen and have stood up

Faced the challenge this life could bring

And emerge triumphantly in the end

The present is a journey

To succeed is to believe

To fight and not to loose the battle

To be what I am and be the best

And continue for what is right

I know I am indispensable

Sooner or later I’ll vanish

But the things I have done will linger

So I live today as if my last

And do the best I can be

Life is what we make it

I am what I am; I can be what I can be

I am a son, I am a brother, and I am a friend

This is me, this is really me

Thank you! The Diary of my Life.

The Beauty of Letting Go

I don't know where to start

The sadness pouring in my heart

Emptiness and loneliness by my side

Darkness became my sight

Tears became my laughter

Hopelessness became my strength

Though I don't know where to go

I have to let you go

Now I must go on

For surviving is living

Living is accepting

Accepting is the start of a new beginning

Life is colorful

As the saying "Don't forget the past, but don't dwell on it"

Now I must let go and learn from it

For I know I can make it

This is what we call life

To see the beauty in it

No matter what it is

Just like this

The Beauty of Letting Go!
