Beyond My Grasps

As I walk into the room, my heart was beating so fast
My eyes were searching for someone I do not know
My mind was saying something I could not hear
Then suddenly, my trembling feet led me to her


She was a familiar stranger, it’s odd to say
Her smile captured me in every single way
Then I talked to her with words I can’t remember
Looking at her eyes, seemed like I’d be frozen forever


A flash caught my attention
A friend took a picture of me together with the girl
People clapped and cheered
The next thing I knew was I walked away from her


Seemed like i’m out of my mind
I left the room barely knowing her name
And now, she’s far away.. so far away
Will I ever see her again?


Then I realized, I already met her
She was in my dream.. the girl smiling in my dream
Destiny did its job, gave me a chance to meet her
But I ruined the opportunity, I barely know her name


I’m hoping that I will be given me another chance
That destiny will give me another oppurtunity
To meet her again and see her smile
The girl in my dreams


Sad to say, the chance given by destiny
Is now beyond my grasp
And all I have is but a picture of me and her smiling together
A picture that would remind me of her forever..

Hopeless Cliche

What is Love?

Love is to look at you

though you would not look at me

Love is to go closer

though you would go away

Love is to help you

though you would not thank me

Love is to smile

though you break my heart



Love is loving you

though you would never love me



If love is blind
Then blind am I for loving you

Mabuhok na Kanto

Sa isang kanto, isang matanda’y iika-ikang naglalakad
Nakangisi, sinusuklay ang makintab na buhok
Handang-handa nang umalis, dali-daling pumara ng jeep
Sa kanyang pagsakay, buhok ay nawala,
ang hangin ang tumangay.

Sa kanto ring iyon, isang ale ang aking namataan
Bihis na bihis, may akay na paslit
Handang-handa nang umalis, dali-daling pumara ng jeep
Sa kanyang pagwagayway, hindi namalayan,
buhok sa kanyang kilikili’y kumakaway.

Sa isang kanto, ako’y nakadukong naglalakad
Isang jeep biglang huminto, isang dilag ang bumaba.
Sa pagkamangha sa kanyang kagandahan,
siya’y aking nabangga
Ako’y humingi ng paumanhin,
ngunit ako’y hindi pinansin.

Sa kanto ring iyon kinabukasan ako’y bumalik
Paghinto ng jeep, ang binibini’y aking muling nakita
Sa pagbaba niya, panyo ay kanyang nabitawan
Sa kanyang dahan-dahang pagdampot, ako’y kinilabutan…
Mabuhok niyang dibdib aking nasilayan!

All I Have

I am not great, that I know
I am not a head turner, I don’t stand out
I don’t have the looks that I can brag
And I asked myself, “What Do I Got?”



I am not an achiever, sad to say
I am not a math genius, to my dismay
I am not a witty debater, I admit
And I asked myself, “What Do I Got?”



I don’t have the talents to compete
I don’t have a golden voice you can appreciate
I don’t have the groovy moves you can follow
And I asked myself, “What Do I Got?”



I look at myself and all I see are words
Just words of emotions and meanings
And how do I use these words?
I use them to lead you to my world



I don’t know how to sing
I only have words playing the melody of my life
I don’t know how to dance
I only have words grooving with the beat of my heart



The beauty of a tiny raindrop I can describe
The harmony within a burst laughter I can play
The smell of blooming flowers I can share
The wonderful feeling of love I can portray



This is the world where I live
Where meanings and feelings took over
Because of the words that I can use
To give everything a breath of life


I may not be great, that is true
Though I have nothing but words
The meaning and the emotions in every line
Is enough to say that I am no ordinary man

Funny moments with a mellow dramatic twist..

2 months na kming break ng ex ko dat time and
within that period I have experienced
several quite hilarious moments with
her and when i think of it, imbes na
mainis, natatawa pa ako.

nung one time na nagkita kami, (break
na kami nun) sinamahan ko xa papuntang
miag-ao. naglakad kami ng pagkalayo-
layo para makasakay ng jeep. it was
raining back then. pinapayungan ko xa
habang tinatanong kung alam nya ba
talaga kung saan kami pupunta. she
scolded me and said childishly, “dont
talk to me!” sabay lakad ng mabilis
palayo sakin habang basang-basa sa
ulan. (hindi nya ginamit payong nya.
dala-dala nya lang) tapos sa pagkahaba-haba ng nilakad namin, more than an hour, ang kinalabasan is mlapit lang naman pala sa dorm ko kami nag-abang. may alam sana ako na short cut mga 55 mins sana ang natipid naming time- totoo yun! kaso wala akong idea na dun pala kami mag-aabang ng jeep tsaka di nya sinabi sakin, tinatanong ko naman xa. basa tuloy kami sa ulan. hehe, Ayos talaga ang lakad na to! D best!

tapos nung nasa jeep na kami she said
na kanya-kanya daw dapat ang bayad sa
pamasahe. paulit2 nyang sinasabi yun
sakin. tapos nung inabot ko yung
pamasahe ko, tumingin xa sakin sabay
ngiti. sinali nya sarili nya sa
bayad tapos hindi pa nya binalik yung
sukli sakin. ayos di ba?

then there was one time na nagtxt
ako.. nagalit xa ksi ang kulit ko daw.
ayaw nya daw na magtxt pa ako. then
after some hours, mga 12 midnight na
cguro, nagtxt xa sakin at sabi nya
paloadan ko daw xa ksi hindi na daw xa
mkalabas sa kanila. Akala ko naman na
nagpaload xa para makipagtxt sakin
kaya sinunod ko sinabi nya. kaso ang tinxt
nya lang sakin after matanggap ang
load is “gudnyt.” (astig nga e!)

days and weeks past.. lahat ng txts
ko hindi nya nerereplyan. malapit na
mag.christmas nung mga time na yun kaya pabiro na lang akong
nagtxt sa kanya kung anong gusto nyang
gift.(akalain mo, nagreply xa! grabe!)
sabi nya pera daw. ang galing talaga
nya.

pinaloadan ko naman xa ksi sabi
nya hindi na daw xa makatxt ksi wla na
xang load. nung tinanong ko kung kelan
kami magkikita, agad-agad nagset xa ng
schedule. ang rason kasi nya is
because its christmas, okay daw xa na
makipagkita sakin. (ayos na rason
noh?)

sinabi nya sakin na 8:20 sharp daw
dapat nandun na ako sa meeting place.
(sa labas lang daw ng jollibee)
after 5 mins aalis na daw xa pag wala
pa ako. ako naman kasi nga uto-uto,
nagpaloko. 8 am pa lang andun na ako.
tapos 9 xa dumating. 1 hour akong
nakatanga, at naghintay sa
kanya at xa pa yung nagalit kasi daw
gumawa pa xang assignment. istorbo daw
ako.(walang hiya, akalain mo naman
yun!)

maganda pa naman sana suot kong damit
dat time-signiture shirt. ang
nakasulat ay: “single again but now
with experience” may experience na magkaroon ng nobya, 1st gf ko ksi xa. kulang na lang
maghubad ako para man lang mapansin
nya. kaso wala talaga. sa gift lang
yung isip nya. nung hinihingi na nya
yung gift, wala akong maibigay. hindi
pa kasi ako nakabili. gusto ko kasing
makita xa muna tsaka sa hapon na lang
ibigay yung gift. nagalit xa tapos nag-
walk out. nindi nya ako pinakinggan.
pinaasa ko lang daw xa sa wala.(tama
ba yun?)

But I kept my word, bumili ako ng gift
at binigay sa friend naming dalawa.
ang friend na lang namin ang bahalang
magbigay nun sa kanya. I hope time will
come na marealize nya mga ginawa nya and I pray na matauhan na
ako na dapat ko na xang kalimutan kasi
kahit ganun xa, kahit di na nya ako pinapahalagahan, mahal na mahal ko pa
rin xa..

Final Kiss

You let me kiss you every now and then

Yet you always wipe your lips in the end

If you only knew how it hurts me

I want to complain yet I can’t



I have long wished to touch your face

Yet that’s beyond my limits

I have long wanted to caress your hair

Yet I can’t even hold your hand



And now I see that you’ve found another one

His taller and good looking than me

How painful it is to see him there

Looking at you, expecting your kiss



You will no longer remember me

And how I touched your tender lips,

Before I bid goodbye, I beg you

Let me kiss you one last time
