Hele

Ipikit na ang mga mata
O mahal ko matulog na
Payapa at mahimbing
Ang gabi, sa'king piling

At sa pagsapit ng umaga
Sabay nating sasalubungin
Ang pagsikat ng araw
At halimuyak ng hangin..

Audience

This is a song I wrote a few years back during our youth camp in Baguio. I'm still trying to recall the second verse, but anyway, here's the first part. I'll try to upload an audio file soon. =P

"Audience"

I have tried
Doing it all on my own
And failing I
Looked for ways to go on
And be strong

And I've travelled in this
Endless road of
Trying, failing, crying
Until I saw your cross
But now I'm crying cause You died
And You gave it all before
You've given me Your cross

What else can I do
But sit and trust You
And wait for Your pow'r
To work here, now

What more can I say
Than Lord have Your way
Come live in my life
I'm just Your audience

It hasn't been such a very good night. It's like whenever I attempt to smile, tears would start welling in my eyes. My heart feels heavy. Every beat seems distant, silent. It's like my heart is in a void, and my chest hollow. I think i need a hug.

=(

umaga, tanghali, gabi.

umaga.
mamumulat ang mga mata
sa alaala ng gabing nakalipas,

tanghali.
maghihintay ng tawag na hindi darating,
mapapatingin sa pintong walang magbubukas.

gabi.
muling lulunurin ang puso
ng mga luhang hindi naman maiiyak.

debelop

sa bawat hindi pagsabi, na pinapakita naman ng bawat pagkilos; sa bawat tamis ng ngiti at sulyap ng mga mata,

ay ang patuloy na pagkahulog ng mga puso sa banging walang kasiguruhan ang lalim.

Some thoughts. 082209.

On discrimination.

"It's unfair to judge another person's lifestyle based on your own experience, and silly to try to force your own philosophy and ideology into them. We all live under different circumstances, and grew up having different situations. People don't just do what they do because they want to, nor do they live their lives the way they do just because."

"If they want to live the way they do, let them. Don't hate them coz they're not like you."

"It's about being human, no matter what class, race, or gender."

i wanted to write a poem,

about the things that have been going on in my mind,

but the only word i could come up with

..was your name.
