Envious with my Sister!

Whew! What else can I say but I envy my sister!!! Damn… she’s got a new baby…(not the baby you're thinking of hehehe)… She’s got a new SAMSUNG TL225 Dual View Smart Camera (see picture below) an early Christmas gift from Steve (her boyfriend). He’s a good guy you know, except that he would always wanted me to be jealous of my sister… grrr… you know techi things.. my weakness… now as I look at my Sony T2 Cybershot… sigh… it seems to be obsolete hahaha… but well, I’m happy for my sister… and I can feel and see that Steve loves her much… I pray things may go well with them alongside God’s blessings!

Look at her… isn’t she a beauty? (complete with accessories and all – sigh again)

So to contain myself, I took a picture of me using her camera! lol

Sakura

it stings like a serpent's poison
creeping through my every veins
tiny volts of lightning weakens
and I am trapped in a devil's snare

where art thou my cherry blossoms?
thy scent so sweet, my throbbing
rescue me and my life is spared
this frail human to you depends

but know I see you crushed, my cherry blossoms
by obelisk's eyes that gives no caution
and yet you diffuses to the air your aroma
a magic deep I could not fathom

your death gives life to this frozen body
shunning the arrows of the devils army
with your beauty crushed a tear I fall
wiped dry by secret bode's call

this winter chill will soon be over
it holds a promise I so long after
a tiny seed will sprout in spring
that puzzles the devil cause it's not his thing.

Ode to the Blue Rose

Carried by passion to watch and see
Hundreds of beauty but only to thee
Albeit their charisma I could never flee
Rare is your beauty, I could fall on my knees
Instead of digging deeper to the ground
Treasure so priceless in you I have found
Yajna I would offer just to feel her around.

Just as you are an inspiration
Overjoyed I am to read your passion
Yearning to see each beauty in a poem.

Believe it or not, you are such a wonder
Endearing heart you have that goes far yonder
Lightening the load of a broken heart
Leaving no scar that could tore him apart.

Love Haiku

Unrequited
sadness lurks within
my heart cries when we’re apart
glad in his embrace.

Memory of You
a love lost and found
on pages of paper, parched
down memory lane.

First Kiss
pounding like the drum’s
my heart dances with each smile
brighter than the sun.

Promises
sweet as a honey
I dwell on its aroma
a life bittersweet.

Life and Choices

The world offers us a lot of options to make our life easy that almost everything becomes instant – lunch on the go, online booking, express lanes, text messaging, etc. As we try to make this world simpler we end up adding to its complexity. Thus with a lot of options that is more consumer centered nowadays, we lose the values and culture – the foundation of every society.

And since the very beginning of time, we are given the will and thus the ability to choose. However, with every choice comes a responsibility for these actions.

How do you asses yourself today? What have you become after all these years? What you are right now is the result of the choices that you have made ever since. Then again, you still have the opportunity, a chance to choose to make it better or to make it worse. The choice is yours.

Whatever choices we make, be ready to face its consequences. We are accountable for our own actions. As for me, I choose to make it even better.

Of Death and Dying

If I were to be asked one day: “If my time will come,
will I be ready to go and be gone,
from these fleeting world, like a dying sun
no, nothing left but memories forgone?”

This made me think deeper and sad
for I myself don’t know the answer to this one.
I may boldly say: “To heaven I shall land!”
But tears falls slowly for in doubt I am drowned.

I don’t know why I feel so low
when I’m confronted suddenly
with these thoughts I nowhere sought
it’s impact is so huge that I just fell down on my knees
weakened and defenseless, I don’t know where else to heed.

Where does my faith have gone?
What creature have I become?
That I have come to love this world
in exchange to eternity’s bode.

These thoughts stole my sleep
‘til the wee hours I tire and bleed
answers to these questions I cannot seek
hoping tomorrow there’s a promise to keep.

Sa Akon Pagpauli

Sa akon nga pagtadag sa sining kalibutan
akon nasaksihan tanan nga pagtangis
walay katapusan samtang naga biti
ang dalit sa panit nga puno sang gisi.

Sa diin bala makit-an ining kalipayan
sa sining kalibutan nga puno sang kabudlayan?
Walay padulungan sa kada pagsikway
kun sa akon pagtikang may balakid nga gabantay.

Ini ayhan ang sabat sa tanang pangamuyo?
O wala ko lang gid makit-an ang akon ginatuyo?
Ayhan may adlaw pa nga magabutlak sa silangan
subong nga akon nabal-an, indi na ko madugayan.

Abyan, ayhan sa diin ka sang ako nagahibi
sa kasakit nga nabatyagan samtang gakabuhi?
apang ako nagapasalamat sa imong pag-ulikid
sa akon mga nabayaan samtang ako magapauli.

I Will Boast In The Cross

what can the ocean deep and blue
boast of its vastness and its hue?
reaching the distance far and wide
nothing but to God went all its pride.

the tallest mountain that touches the sky
running farther and for miles
can't even boast but sing praise
to His Majesty, the one Who makes.

the little flowers dressed so clean
the birds in the field fed by Him
all humbly bow to the one Who is
the Maker of such little things as this.

what can I, a human, then
boast of my strength, wisdom and intelligence
when all I know it came from Him
my BIG God, this talent within.

Epitaph

I come to visit you today
And lighted a candle for you
And noticed the epitaph
Where your name is curve into
A sudden emotion struck me
Which for long I have subdued
I just couldn’t believe it
That in there was really you.

All the while I thought
You’re still a part of us
That I just miss you
Everytime I go to class
But this epitaph shouts
A tablet of solid truth:
“Here lies the body of a father
Who left a lasting legacy
Grounded from the noble root.”

With this i turned my back
And hold tears from falling
And promised to come back
To where this epitaph is calling.

3 Emotions In A Day

The Candles
We arrived at Tibiao today at 1 in the afternoon. One thing I like the most everytime I go home to Antique is I get to taste fresh catched fish and other seafoods. So we had a bountiful lunch – I dunno the name of the fish but I did enjoy it – afterwhich my sister and I went to the cemetery and lighted three candles for my Papa, Lola and Tito then we went to the Poblacion and bought some stuffs. It’s nice to see new things even after 10 years since high school.

The Phone Call
When we arrived home I had a nap and was awaken by a phone call from my dear, had a short chat with Tita and she invited me to visit her at Ozamis City on her birthday. I was happy actually since I had a very good conversation with her and I feel I am very welcomed. Can’t wait to go there soon!

The Play
Then my nieces and nephews invited me to swim – our place is a beach front – so I had fun with them playing “IT” as the waves toss us by and by while the sun is setting (this is so NICE!). I took a bath at the faucet near the garden as my nieces and nephews watch me after they had taken their baths. I was in a playful spirit so I sang songs and show them my “muscles” with every pose. They luaghed at me and I laughed at them. I was a great time! This is one of those precious moments I wish I had recorded.
