Panaghoy

nasan ka na kaya?
sino ka ba talaga?
darating ka pa ba?
o lumagpas ka na?

marami na'ng nagdaan..
isa ka na ba sa kanila?
sino ka ba sa kanila?
pano ko malalaman kung ikaw na nga?

sawimpalad ba talaga?
o sadyang mainipin lang?
o baka naman bulag?
o di kaya'y manhid pala..

mga katanungan..
tila mailap ang kasagutan..
masasagot pa nga ba?
o baka nga hindi na..

Happy New Year!

Just been to a place that we used to be..
In a glimpse, our memories flashback instantly..
A sudden gush of emotions enveloped me for a moment
Pulling me back to those days..
I was frozen where I am.. 
I felt a tiny pain yet I can't help to smile..
Despite all the painful things happened to us..
I cannot deny the fact 
That those days with you..
Are happiest moment of my life..

*sigh*

Now I'm starting to miss you again..

I just wonder..
Are you also thinking of me when I'm thinking of you?

Then my phone rang.. #@%!

It's still a Happy New Year to me after all.. :)

Alam Kong Kasama Ka by Fr. Mimo Perez

Nais kong samahan mo ako sa awit na hinabi ng panahong ating pinagsamahan
Tulad no'ng pagsama- sama kahit kay bigat ng dinadala
Nagagawa pa ring kumanta't tumawa

Refrain:
Di natin namalayan sa panahong nagdaan;
Sa biruan man o tampuhan, tuloy pa rin at walang iwanan.

Chrorus:
Mula ng tanggapin natin ang bawat isa
Isang bagong lakas ngayo'y ating nadarama.
Dahil sa isa't isa'y wala na ang kaba
At hamon man ay mag-iba
Alam kong kasama ka..

May ilang nagtataka, san nagmumula ang ating saya?
Katulad din naman tayo ng iba
Ang hindi nila alam may pangarap na inaasam
Hinahabi't pinagsasaluhan

Repeat Refrain

Repeat Chorus 2x

Alam kong kasama ka (3x)

Reality Bites

A sudden prick in the heart.. :( it's true.. reality bites at the least you expect it..

I must admit, it still hurts.. even if I don't have the reason nor the  right to react like this.

I must admit, I never moved on, and I never let go. 

I know, I'd been a coward, not strong enough to fight for what I feel.

*Sigh* 

Finally, as I see it, our story already ended.

As you finally decided to enter a new sequel of your life, 

Without me and apart from me.

Maybe it also time for me to think about moving on,

In its truest sense.

I hope I could find that courage.. 

*Sigh*

Faith and Obedience

I grew up from a family that is just earning enough to sustain its everyday needs. My mother is the solely bread winner of the family; she accepts made to order dresses, uniforms and if lucky enough, bridal entourage or designer's gowns. We are the typical, "isang kahig-isang tuka", but inspite of that, my mother values my education. She did everything just to make me into college and earn a degree.

As I look back on what my family had been through, I realized how God never failed to keep his promise. I remember how by chance that a relative gave a sum of money when we don't know how we will pay for my tuition fee; when suddenly a neighbor shares a food when we don't have any on our table. I remember that on these occasions, we always pray for God's blessings and indeed the answers came right away. There are times that his answer requires a form of action on our part. What we need is to obey and trust his will.

I remember a story from 1 Kings 17:10-16: In those days, Elijah the prophet went to Zarephath. As he arrived at the entrance of the city, a widow was gathering sticks there; he called out to her, “Please bring me a small cupful of water to drink.” She left to get it, and he called out after her, “Please bring along a bit of bread.” She answered, “As the Lord, your God, lives, I have nothing baked; there is only a handful of flour in my jar and a little oil in my jug. Just now I was collecting a couple of sticks, to go in and prepare something for myself and my son; when we have eaten it, we shall die.” Elijah said to her, “Do not be afraid. Go and do as you propose. But first make me a little cake and bring it to me. Then you can prepare something for yourself and your son. For the Lord, the God of Israel, says, ‘The jar of flour shall not go empty, nor the jug of oil run dry, until the day when the Lord sends rain upon the earth.’ ” She left and did as Elijah had said. She was able to eat for a year, and he and her son as well; The jar of flour did not go empty, nor the jug of oil run dry, as the Lord had foretold through Elijah.

“Faith is the step between promise and assurance.  Miracles seem so out of reach for our feeble faith.  But every miracle, large or small, begins with an act of obedience.  We may not see the solution until we take the first step of faith.”
