You were my air and water
My means to live
You left me at my lowest
While you were at your peak
I managed to survive
And find another love
Until you gave me a feeler
That you want me back in your life
How can that happen?
When I am so taken?
Why didn’t you take me when you had the chance?
It was like a half-filled glass
Enough to satisfy my thirst
Enough to satisfy my longing
But it could never be more than that
Things happen for a reason
You left me for a reason
I found a new life to survive
Let me live my own life
And live your chosen life
We could never be together
Our story is a half-filled glass

Sila ang mga batang di mo kaagad makakagiliwan.
Marurumi. Mapuputik.
Mga tinging laging gutom.
Naglalaro.
Maiingay.
Di mo sila katutuwaan.
Wala silang mukhang gaya ng sa manika.
Hindi mo nga sila agad mapapansin…o sadyang di papansinin.Ang mga ina nila ay nagkukumpulan.
Abala.
Pawisan.
Di magkandaugaga sa ginagawa.
Magagalit paminsan-minsan.
Mapapatungayaw sa anak na lalapit.
Abala sa pagsusugal.Ang mga mumunting anak, silang mumunting anghel
Maglalaro sa kalye sa ilalim ng sikat ng araw
Umaaasang maaambunan ng grasya ng mga taong daraanKailan lang, sa baryo ng Catmon
Sa bayan ng Sta. Maria
Sa probinsya ng Bulacan
Isang batang paslit ang nagulungan ng trak
Ang ina’y abala sa pagsusugal
Ni hindi nabalisa sa anak na naglalarong mag-isa
Ang bata ay dalawang taong gulangBalot ng kaba, binaba ng drayber
Umaasang walang may buhay ang nasaktan
Gulantang sa nakita sa pagitan ng mga gulong
Isang bata, isang mumunting anghel ang di sinasadyang mapatay
Isang batang hubo’t hubad, walang saplot ni isa manMumunting anghel na inalisan ng karapatan na mamuhay ng payapa
Mumunting anghel na kinuha ng Maykapal sa malagim na paraan
Upang ipamukha sa ina ang kanyang kapabayaan -
Some great friendships are good until one must go
And leave the other one hoping that the friendship will still grow
Despite the distance and isolation
Despite the lack of communicationThere was this childhood friend of mine
A friendship that I consider as an old wine
That I expected to continue ’til old life
Thus, I avoided to trigger a strifeWhen we needed to part ways to start a career
I kept in touch with her because she’s very dear
I looked forward to the day when we’ll see each other again
And talk about stories of work, life and men!Call it a coincidence but we saw each other one day!
It was I who greeted first and she had nothing to say
The warm smiles of hers were gone and so is my excitement
I then realized that I was beginning to lamentShe had a change of heart and I was left wondering
I was left alone in pain and reminiscing
The friendship with her that I valued so much
Was just yesterday’s dream to my touchAint it true that true friends are hard to find?
But sustaining a mutual friendship is one of a kind
People who don’t value a great friendship
Are selfish folks without a real relationship -

Come close to me my little boy
Daddy’s home,my source of joy
The day is long and you’re my reward
I’ll hug you tightly and kiss you afterwardsMy life has become more meaningful and happy
When God blessed me with a handsome baby
You gave me an inspiration to strive harder in life
I’ll bear all the troubles with all my mightGod has a purpose why He gave you to me
It’s maybe the same one when He gave me your mommy
I guess it’s because He wants me to bring Him
A family that will worship together in gleamTime is running fast and soon you’ll grow up
You won’t be a baby forever so I’ll kiss you now a lot
Remember our days of love and joyfulness
Each moment with you, Adi, is truly priceless~Daddy

LETTING GO TAKES LOVE
To let go does not mean to stop caring, it means I can’t do it for someone else.
To let go is not to cut myself off, it’s the realization I can’t control another.
To let go is not to enable, but allow learning from natural consequences.
To let go is to admit powerlessness, which means the outcome is not in my hands.
To let go is not to try to change or blame another, it’s to make the most of myself.
To let go is not to care for, but to care about.
To let go is not to fix, but to be supportive.
To let go is not to judge, but to allow another to be a human being.
To let go is not to be in the middle arranging all the outcomes, but to allow others to affect their destinies.
To let go is not to be protective, it’s to permit another to face reality.
To let go is not to deny, but to accept.
To let go is not to nag, scold or argue, but instead to search out my own shortcomings and correct them.
To let go is not to adjust everything to my desires, but to take each day as it comes and cherish myself in it.
To let go is not to criticize or regulate anybody, but to try to become what I dream I can be.
To let go is not to regret the past, but to grow and live for the future.
To let go is to fear less and love more.
Remember: The time to love is short.

See me cry when I’m overjoyed
See me cry when I’m so hurt
Because you’ll never see me cry on ordinary situations…I cried when I lost a lover who I loved so much
I cried when my grandmother passed away
I cried when I failed a major subject in college
You’ll never see me cry on ordinary situationsI cried when I regained my faith in the Lord
I cried when I saw an old friend
I cried when I saw my mother back from a long seminar
You’ll never see me cry on ordinary situationsI am tough, as they say
A soldier, a survivor, a fighter; so brave
But I also cry when things are hurting so much
I cry when things are beyond what I can bearThanks for all the people who cry with me
And also for those who cry for me
I want to say this, crying is not being weak
It’s acknowledging my emotions; it’s being real
