"I am a Karate-do Artist"

Karate brings me lots of experiences

Took a very long time in training to improve my skills

Working long and hard without much break,

Pushing the limit as far as I can,

Focus on the battle, once the bells ring

Look on his eyes and read his mind

Read his movement and think your first attack

And attack him in a perfect timing

When you defeat the opponent

Celebrate, but don't be over proud or confident

To be the best karate-do Artist

The perfection of the character is the aim

Umali, Jan Renna Lee C. IT2A

Breaking

This is for the child suffering

This is for the wife crying

This is for the husband losing

And this is for the family hurting

Her parents are fighting

But she can only do nothing

Her family is slowly breaking

Like a mirror shattering

She thought she’s fine

They thought she’s alright

She keeps smiling

But deep inside she’s aching

The pain in her heart is numbing

But she keeps on hoping

Hoping that someday she’ll be better

Not only today but forever

She’s my mother!

I

Listen everyone cause I’ve’ got

something to tell you

This is an important one

Cause’ I want to introduce you with someone

II

She’s a friend of mine

Both you and I have

She never misses my actions

And loves me to destruction

III

She’s the beauty queen of the house

And no can doubt that

Her movements are flawless

Even Gloria Diaz surrender to that

IV

She’s a better singer than Sarah

And she shakes better that Shakira

She’s better than any accountants I know

Cause she can balance anything in a blow

V

She flair like a royalty in the kitchen

And she cooks a heavenly muffin

She aids like a first class nurse

Without even taking the proper course

But what I love the most is…..

VI

With a gentle smile she touched my heart

With a tender touch I fell apart

Nothing compare my feelings when I’m with her

I wish I can express how much I love her

Now do you know her?

She’s my mother!

A son’s first friend

My dad is my first friend

We used to play 'til the weekend

He taught me everything

And said that I could be a king

One day he planned to leave

But at first I could not believe

He said he'll be quick

As fast as a click

A lot of things he missed

And sometimes I pleased

To come home and see

And be proud of me

Seven years it’s been

I don't even know where to begin

I always want to talk to him

Even in my dream

Dyan M. Constantino IT2A

Never again

The hurt

You can see it in my eyes

We both know what the cause

But you promise never again

The promise

Promise that never again

Never again will you hurt me

Never again will you cheat on me

And now you break it

Break your promise never again

Break it again and again and again

Break it like it’s nothing

The tiredness

And now I’m tired

Tired of being hurt

Tired of being cheated

My Promise

And now I promise

Promise never again

Never again will I let you hurt me.

Cheslie Kaye M. Papio

It’s hard to describe how it feels

And I can’t hide these feelings of mine

When trouble comes between you and me

I want to tell these feelings true and free

Even though you seem so far

I can see your eyes just like a star

Like a star that shines so bright

Till the end of the silent night

When you appear in front of me

You’re like a thunder that flash into my eyes

And it captures my attention

When there’s sparks when you smile

You’re like a wind that blows my mind

Every time when I see you smile

The moments will be treasured in my heart

And it will never be apart

Let your heartbeat speak

Let the feelings be real

And these feelings will never be the same

Until the day that you came

Light

Oh! life is full of happiness,

my happiness, can’t take away

everyone thinks it limitless,

so, I’m enjoying life in every way

it is brand new day

but already at its end

it seems to take life away

and emotion was blend.

you unfold me from dark

gather myself at last

that the power of healing

I bear with blast

I will never stop

never I will give up

as your strength hold me

standing firm next to me.

Now, there's you and i,

reaching both goals in life

seeing each other, eye to eye

forever will be bright.





feelings,

YOU ARE WHO YOU ARE

Each searching for meaning

Beneath the soul that lies

Don’t care like pretending

Amid the judgments that people say

You have to step up, give it a shot

Be yourself in your special way

Show to everyone what you have got

In this world of agony and doubt

Feeling so much you’re alienated

You feel there’s nothing to figure out

‘Cause you’re the less appreciated

Doesn’t need other’s approval

To discover your potential

Ahead is a labyrinth of suffering

On the depths of never ending echoes

Trying to escape the chaos

See what you deserve, aim high

Every part of you is diverse

Just like a meteor in the sky

Makes up the whole universe

Constantly you’re just an average

From the way you talk, the way you dress

But somehow you don’t lose the courage

To pursue for your own happiness

Witness the odd in the familiar

Don’t look back and take the chance

Now begin to love who you are

Because with love comes acceptance

Look closely in the environment

Suddenly you’ll look forward

If you’re afraid to be different

Then that makes you a coward

Until the End By: Krisnin Carah H. Yang

They are someone I can turn to when I need them.

They are someone I can treasure.

They are someone who replaces sorrow into contentment.

And makes my life better and happier.

They’ve known me for quite some time.

They saw the good and bad side of me.

But they chose to stay.

And never leave my side.

They’ve guided me through bad times.

Spread away my tears.

And gave me so much happiness.

As we’ve journeyed over the years.

They know If there’s something wrong.

They know how to cheer me up.

We get along.

And forget we are all grown up.

Through ups and down

Our friendship will never end.

We might grow old.

But we’ll always be here as time goes by.

Thanks for being there

And helping me grow

Your friendship means a lot

This I’d like you to know.

SKY WITH NO STARS By Reillon Panganiban IT2B

Everyone is different in their own way,

Everyone is unique and never similar.

We all have different perspectives, and never think alike.

Everyone has distinct idiosyncrasies,

And everyone has distinct voices.

A voice we use to express ourselves,

And a voice we use to label ourselves.

This voice we use to propagate our ideas,

And this voice we use to make a difference.

We all have opportunities and changes to fight for our rights and for our freedom,

The path to absolute tranquillity, a utopian world,

Rid of evil, greed and inequality.

It is without a doubt an optimistic vision,

But only because we are dragged out by criticism,

Straying from the path of tranquillity,

Grabbing us in the leg.

Along the stale soil,

Our finger nails penetrating, piercing and puncturing deep in to the dirt,

In hopes of resisting this seemingly endless dragging,

The abrasion exerted in our skin,

Causing an excruciating sting,

Manifested and caused by the evils in this world.

Pounding, scratching and thumping;

The hands that laid marks in the soil,

The bombardment of harsh words,

Just because you crave for achievement

Believe it or not, some don’t even try to resist.

Despite the physicality of the predicament,

Vigorous coercions and inescapable taunting.

They climb up the ladder only to let go,

Never making it to the top.

While the ones who try yet don’t persist,

Are only stopped by outside interference.

Transcendentalists always prevail, conjuring light out of the dark.

Illuminating the top of the ladder,

Foreseeing the sky with no stars.

They create their own light.

Silva, Patrick John S. – IT2b Asymmetry

I

Sitting at my chair while looking at the window,

My eyes saw the sun waving goodbye with sorrow,

Darkness soon shall rise to devour each every light,

Leaving it aside, time will come and make it bright.

II

Passing by a man with an evil thought,

This kind of heart would destroy his self ,

Such understanding and sympathy is needed,

for this man to be a angel pf the Lord.

III

Why it should be unfair?

One would come and leave the air,

Though such balance is always observed,

For contrary is always at served.

IV

Each existence produces uniqueness,

 Uniqueness defines every existence,

Though everything has differences,

Such difference balances existence.

Unexplainable Love

Unexplainable Love

First impression

I need to make a decision

Is this love at first sight?

That I’m feeling inside

Maybe it’s too fast

But I’m not in the rush

I just want to express how I feel

Please believe it’s real

I know it’s weird and confusing

But still I want to see you smiling

Smile that accept what I’m doing

Don’t worry I’m dead serious on what I’m showing

I’ll be a clown for you to make you happy

Because I don’t want to see you lonely

I know this is not a must

Yet it makes my heart beat fast

Love really is unexplainable

It’s like an air that is invisible

We can’t see, taste, hear, smell nor touch it

But meeting someone like you can make me experience it.

mosca

Hey Girl, You Is Fine

 Baby you is fine

That lips is divine

It’s finer than wine

Got flawless design

 Baby you is fine

That smile is benign

Your teeth got some shine

Im gonna take you to dine

 Baby you is fine

 You is atleast a 9

Im gonna make you a sign

“ Hey Girl, Please Be Mine”

O Baby you are so fine

Them stars are aligned

So I think it is time

Baby, be my valentine

My Heartache Key

Leave me alone!

That’s what I told you

After hurting me with so much pain

Telling me things for you is true

And deep inside it home

Those different aches I gain.

You told me that you love me

You will catch the star for me

You will be my shadow

And all of these are just a show

While holding my hand,

Protecting the bond

So you won’t lose every strand

That already tied me

In your so called game plan

And that is your love in me

In every sweet coated words

That keeps on shouting

I just keep on smiling

As it strikes me like a sword

For I know, there’s a girl you’re thinking

And the bad thing is

That is not me

Here in front of you, standing

It keeps my heart beating

Faster and faster

Just like its grinding

The hollow smile I plaster

Until I choose to pretend.

I pretend that I don’t notice

That your action is no malice

Between you and her at least

Cause every staring, and touching

Gives me confusion, hesitation, frustration

And makes it an imagination

For I believe in her,

Especially in you

Because she is my best

But I’m wrong I guess

In every gap I give

You turn your head and leave

And that’s the hint

I don’t like to believe

But I don’t want to end up like this

Storing my happiness in abyss

So I do the confrontation

And for you I’m just a solution

Making my world in slow motion

Cause she is the reason.

You’ve been together at my back

Laughing for how foolish I am

Cause I’m riding in a wrong track

That no one will ever be claim

I’m staring blankly

Tears fall silently

As the memories came back to me

All emotion were getting on me

Those admirations, satisfactions

That leads to pretentions

Were just wastes as my conclusion

A waste of everything

Cause you don’t deserve a thing

But thanks anyway

I find the right way

Those things we have shared

Are my lessons to be learn

And you put there the end

So I need to comprehend

That you and I don’t look good together

Cause you and her are much better

For you belong to her

And I’m still a winner.

Leaving me alone as I said

And my heart shouts to be held

But I calm my heart instead

So I gather myself to stand

Then someone stretch a hand

And there I find a man

Outshines a thousand men.

Ron Rafael S. Timonera IT2B GOD’S LOVE

“We always ask what true love is…

Never to believe that it really do exist,

We always thought that love is sweet

And always forget that it cause pain hard to ease…”

“What is the real meaning of love?

Giving something and expect nothing…?

Be brave to let go, the one who hurts you so?

Or be the best to be notice among rest?”

“Love is a word hard to be define,

Easy to say, but hard to be shown,

Can’t be seen by eyes, but can be seen by heart

Wanted by every one, hard to be shared by every single one…”

“Have you ever taught that Love is God!”

Someone who we always call for help,

But always being forgotten that we can’t help

What can be the best definition of Love?

Is in it GOD who has always been faithful like a Dove!”

More Than Just A Dream By Mary Ann M. Clemente

Since I was a little child

My mom taught me how to dream

Dream as if you rule the world

And achieve it as if you never will

Dreams are for everyone

Whether a child or an old man

Keep in mind that it’s just a wish

If you did nothing to fulfill it

Dream big and never give up

Have courage and stand up

Do what your heart says

Never waste an opportunity that will come your way

It will pay off someday

And you’ll realize that it’s worth every pain

So have faith and keep dreaming

Live up your dreams and stop wishing

Never Ending Love By Nina Vittoria S. Valle

She's someone who's impatient,

like a Queen who wants things to be done her way.

She's like an FBI agent,

I can't keep secrets 'cause she'll discover the truth anyway.

She's like my bestfriend,

we get along so well and tell each other secrets.

She's someone I treasure so much,

because of her I don't have any regrets.

She noticed how I changed so much,

growing up without her but never forgetting to keep in touch.

Despite all the wrong actions and childish things I've said,

She taught me to forgive, to listen and be positive instead.

I'm very thankful for having her in my life,

without her I wouldn't be alive.

Someone who's very special like no other,

Caring, loving, there's no one else like my dear Mother.

Music is Entertainment By: Antonio Oscar M. Hocbo

Without music life is boring,

People just kept on sleeping.

Music gave energy and life,

To the people who can’t see the light.

Music is related to love,

Specially for the people who is in love.

Music is like dancing,

It brings joy to sad happening.

When the word music is heard by my ear,

I listen to songs that’s good to hear.

My inspiration helps me to write a song,

So that at night it would be sweetly sung.

Music became my entertainment,

For it can fulfill my contentment.

Because music makes me jolly,

I can make people around me happy.

Chance of Forever By: Patrick Lingao

The first time I saw you

I can’t understand what my mind and heart is telling me

My mind tells me it is just infatuation

But my heart tells me I’m in love

I may not be perfect

But when I’m with you

I feel complete

And it is dream come true

I’m taking the risk being beside you

Even we’re thousand miles apart

I’ll find a way to express my love for you

Every memory we had together

I will treasure it forever

Just like my love for you

It will last forever

Every moment with you I feel blessed

God created an angel suitable for me

I’m thanking God for this chance

Whatever happens I will never let it go

Until the moment comes

I’ll ask you’re hand in marriage

I can’t wait until that day comes

Cause that will be the start of our forever

Joshua Daniel Manahan IT2A Greatest Love

Eighteen years ago the world smiled

Two people rejoice and become proud

For a child was born today on earth today

That will bring them happiness someday

Father works hard with love

Mother filled him with love and care

For him to become a man to God who has fear

And to show all the people his respect and care

In his adulthood he faced happiness and vanity

He will choose to be a sinner or a saint

His loving parents became his ladder and string

To avoid strong winds that make him fall someday

Now a child rose with faith

From a humble beginning yesterday

Will soon stand with you

To be a noble man someday

Ian T. Masilungan IT2A Basketball

Ano ang basketball para sayo?

Ang basketball ay nagbibigay saya sa mga tao

Maging sa disiplina ay hinuhubog tayo

Bawat minuto, bawat segundo dapat planado

Maging kalmado upang matamo ang panalo

Sa larong ito wag mong pairalin ang init ng ulo

Sapagkat ito ang magiging sanhi ng iyong pagkatalo

Maaring mas mahusay sayo si kalbo at hindi mo matalo

Huwag na huwag kang magrereklamo

Sa halip ay mas lalong maging ganado

Pero minsan hindi mo kailangan na laging panalo

Basta’t nagsasaya ka ay sapat na ito

Nakatatak na ito sa puso ng bawat Pilipino

Pwedeng pwede mo itong gawing bisyo

Makakatulong din upang makalimutan mo ang mga problema mo

Marc Renan T. Lorzano IT2B

Isang buntong pasakit

Di man lang mapakinggan

Hinaing ng bawat mamamayan

Kahirapan ay hndi maiwasan

Kurapsyon na nararanasan

Di malaman - laman kung paano tatakasan

Wag sisihin kung nagdaramdam

Pagka’t di pwedeng hayaan na lamang

Wag naman sanang buwaya

 Isipin mga dukhang nagdurusa

Alam naming kayo’y mayaman na

Ngunit nangungurakot pa

Tuwing eleksyon kayo’y naririyan

Nawawala pagkaraan ng halalan

At ng inyong matandaan

Na kaban nitong bayan ang dahilan kaya kayo andyan

Hopeless and Torment

Hopeless and Torment

Bared soul like naked flesh

Stripped of everything without rest

Walking in a dark, crooked path

Carrying a burden that is full of wrath

Alone in the world with nothing to see

All is void except misery

Everything is uncertain

And darkness falls like a curtain



Is there any salvation for thy poor soul?

Or will it rot and turn into a ghoul?

Would there be light to fight the darkness?

Or will thy soul succumb to sadness?



Will thy soul escape from all the torment?

And be able to savor that moment?

Or the world will remain still and cold?

And thy soul left with nothing to hold?

In Life By Nicole Faye Laluna

In a world where there are ups and downs

a life sometimes filled with sadness and frowns

things might not go as planned

but smile coz things might just turn around

maybe life is not all smiles and laughs

maybe life isn't supposed to always push us down

because life is like a dice

you never know what comes next

maybe the world will never adjust itself

maybe some things are not meant to stay in our life

but things will be better

it might be stormy but it can’t rain forever

in every frown, there's a smile

just stop and cheer up for a while

things will be better in the way that we like

just close your eyes and enjoy the rollercoaster that is life

Every day I see her smile,

My happiness had drawn me into piles.

My inspiration in everyday life,

It is what makes me strive.

You are the fuel to the fire within me.

And you are truly an inspiration to me.

When I see your faces it is clear to me why I am here.

I have faith and believe that someday I can meet you.

And the time has come

That we become friends

I feel so lucky

 That I met her in the end.

Vhilly Jay Silvestre IT2A Wordlit Poem Twist of Life

What is life?

Is it a game or twist of events?

A game having ups and downs

That will determine your fate in the end

 

A twist of events for you to set up your mind

For the goals you can find

Unexpected things will happen

Appearing very sudden

 

Life, it will never be same as yesterday

No looking back, it’s a matter of going forward

What’s done is done

Just wait for another chance

 

Catastrophe comes, leaving you behind

Measuring yourself, hope, and patience

Pursue reaching the dreams and goals

For the life you wanted

Asma, Maricar IT2B IMPERFECT LIFE

Sixteen years, and life seems so perfect.

It was like living in a world of fantasy,

A world full of happiness

A magical tale that I never wish to end.

Suddenly, with a single snap

Everything has turned into a nightmare.

A nightmare that made me suffer,

And broke me into pieces of paper.

Now, the reality of life have spoken

There is no permanent

Happiness is not forever

Everything has an end.

If only I know,

I could have stopped it.

If only I can bring back the past

I will...

Cause a child without a mother is incomplete.

And for what had happened,

I ask God.

Why her?

Bakit nga ba kaylapit ng Sabado sa Lunes,

Samantalang kaylayo ng Lunes sa Sabado?

Isa sa mga paborito kong katanungan,

Noon habang ako'y nasa mataas na paaralan.



Bakit kay taas ng kanilang panuntunan,

Na isang estudyante ay may siyam na asignaturang dapat matutunan,

Samantalang ang isang guro?

Pinakamadami na ang tatlong asignatura na kaya nyang panghawakan.



Alas-syete ng umaga ng pasok na pagod paguwe,

Tambak na takdang aralin na bukas dapat ipasa,

Sa liwanag puro pagiisip, pagsusulat, at pagbabasa,

Hindi ba pwedeng sa gabi at paguwe puro na pahinga?



Ilan lang 'yan sa mga katanungan noon saisipko,

Maaaring lahat ay negatibo,

Dahil kung isasalaysay ko ang alaalang magaganda,

Ang tulang ito'y magiging napakahaba,

Dahil sa Highschool kame naging pinakamasaya.

Happiness throughout the Pain

I’ve known you for sometime now

But you don’t know that I exist

It was a fairy tale dream come true

To met someone like you

Now I have the reason to love again

The first time I laid my eyes on you

It takes me to a place that I can’t describe

As the time goes all I want is to know you more

Right then it was clear to me

That I liked you since that day

I’ve been enduring a lot of pain

You don’t’ know how much I care

I’m always right beside you

Yet you’re too blind to see me

For how long your gonna make me suffer?

You inspire me a lot to be someone new

There’s no doubt that there’s nothing I can’t do for you

Soon you’ll leave this place

Just imagining it makes me weak

Sometimes I realized on giving up

But I see your face every time I close my eyes

You seem so different from other guys

I wish I could say it all

This feelings of mine that I’d been longing to say

But I know you’re still gonna go away

You’re as a beautiful sunset to me

A sunset that could make everyone  feel amazed on you

You’re smile is like a lightning bolt

Yet surprising but dangerous enough to make me tremble

And able to make me a mess

Now you’ve been already part of my life

Not knowing anything for the future

At least I have learned a lot from you

To make this thought into words

Since I’ve fell for you

AngTropa

Ang tropa sa tuwina’y masaya,

sa kalukohan ay sama-sama.

Tropang masarap kasama,

sa problema sama-sama.

Ang tropa nag bibigayan,

sa kalungkutan nagdaramayan.

Ang sarap isipin ng mga masasayang ala-ala,

lalo na’t magkakasama.

Sa aking tropa’y sasabihin,

lumipas man ang mahabang panahon, kayo parin ang tropa ko.

Mag karoon man ng mga pamilya ang bawat isa,

Tayo tayo pa rin ang mag kakatropa.

Juan Paulo Ramos The Unknown

I encounter a lot of situations

And I can’t escape my desperation

I seek for revelation

Oh are you my salvation?

Everyone’s problem is reality

And one of them is my solidarity

If my religion is my remedy

Why do I experience such tragedy?

My life is a mystery

Waiting for discovery

Love will come to me someday

But for now I’ll wait each day

Reaching for self-actualization

Finding my path of destination

Is it just my imagination?

Or is it my realization?

Frustrated Baller Written by: Daniel Pilapil

One moment in my life, I turned on the T.V.

And the show was Basketball TV

I heard a drop *bounce *bounce *bounce…

It was like a cheer of a crowd with a heart’s strong pounce

I saw a ring, a tall man, and two tall rings beside them

Time ticks as every drop of sweat flows through their hair

A man beside who was wearing suit and tie

Yelling to the players in an arena

A sound of *SWOOOSH* exploded

As the silent crowd goes wild like animals trapped inside and caged

One day I was passing by near a court in our town

A ball rolls up in front of me

A tall guy told me to “c’mon men shoot the ball”, “Show me some of your skills”

I throw it up in the air and it swims through the rim

He told me “man, you got game”

I was walking home with a smile in my face I saw my mom

I called her while I was across the road; the next thing that happened is me waking up,

Lying in a bed with a bandage around my ankle through my knee

With many people around me crying

It took 3 months till I recover and my dream of playing a ball is never going to happen

I realized that day when I started to walk again is

You fail and recover and that’s what life is, life is a game of up and down

You fail because you miss a lesson to learn to succeed

A Great Invention

A Great Invention

As the engine begins to start,

The pistons start pumping that serves as an art,

The car's exhaust roaring noise,

And it is the best power that big boy enjoys,

Driving is a hard thing to do,

It is not easy as cleaning your shoe,

Focus your mind and pay full attention,

Car is such a great invention,

For some car is only a car,

But for me it is a home that I admire,

Loving and caring for it is a passion,

And for some it’s an inspiration,

When you want to go far,

All you need is to start your car,

A car is a perfect friend,

Because it goes with you until the end.

My One and Only Inspiration

My One and Only Inspiration

When I see you every day I feel so glad

I can’t explain my feelings for you

But I know that you are my inspiration

You give me reason to wake up everyday

You give me strength when I feel so down

You give me happiness when I feel so sad

You show me the way when I am lost

You don’t make me feel different

I’m lying here now

Wishing I was by your side

Watching the sunrise with you

Hoping everyday would be this way

Tanging Ina Nyo

Tanging Ina Nyo

Ang pangangalaga ni inay

Ay walang kapantay

Ibubuwis ang kanyang buhay

Kay bait nga namang tunay

Pagkagising sa umaga

Pagkain ay hinanda na nya

Hanggang sa hapunan

Malalamnan ang iyong tiyan

Kay bait nga naman ni nanay

Pero bakit minsa'y sinusuway

Lahat kanyang ibibigay

Para lamang ika'y mabuhay

Kaya ako'y nagpapasalamat

Sa nanay kong isang alamat

Ginagawa nya lahat ng bagay na walang reklamo

Pero minamahal pa din kami ng todo

“First Shot, Last Chance”

“First Shot, Last Chance”

Since I was a little kid,

I’ve always carried this dream,

This dream to become the best,

Floating so high above the rest,

I wanted everyone to feel my presence inside the court,

Just like what my pops said “Son, you’ve got to own the court”.

I remember my first shot,

I was running fast towards the hoop,

My teammate passed me the ball and said “shoot it!”

So I threw the ball up in the air, I watched it,

As the ball fell and makes its way through the hoop,

“Splash!”, I heard my dad shout while watching from the courtside.

Now if I haven’t taken that shot,

I would not have loved this sport,

Inside the court you shouldn’t have doubt,

You must do what you can,

Never hide what you got,

Because this might be the only chance you’ve got

So take every chance you’ll get and make it like it’s your last shot.

Pangarap na Pag-ibig

Pangarap na Pag-ibig

Di ko alam kung ano ‘tong nararamdaman

‘Pagkat ako mismo ang naguguluhan

Itong nararamdaman ko para sa iyo.

Masaya ako sa tuwing nakikita ka,

Umaasa na sana’y makasama ka,

Ninanais ko sana’y makausap ka,

Ngunit ako’y natatameme pagnandyan ka.

Pinapangarap na lamang kita,

Pangarap na maging tayong dalawa

Imposibleng ito’y magkatotoo

Baon-baon ko ang lakas ng loob

Para ipahayag sa iyo ng marubdob

Di ko inaasahan magkakaganito

Isang pangarap na nagkatotoo.

Pag-ibig na nga ba ito,

Tila langit ka’t lupa ako

El Polἰtica

Original Composition by Louis Daniel Plata

Isang bansang kulang sa bigas,

Sandamakmak ang mandurugas.

Lugar kung saan nsa impyerno ang mga tao,

Halika! Alamin natin ang pinagmulan nito.

Nagmula kay Aguinaldo hanggang kay Aquino,

Nagsimulang maghari ang mga korapt na pulitiko.

Perang sana’y sa mga tao,

Pork Barrel Scam sa Senado.

Isang bansang puno ng karahasan,

Digmaan sa kaliwa’t kanan.

Kahirapan ay laganap na,

Trabaho’y ‘sang kahig ‘sang tuka,

Tulong ng mga pulitiko, asan na?

Tayo na at bumangon,

Ating sugpuin ang korapsyon.

Pulitika ma’y magpahirap sa atin,

Balang araw, kalayaan ay makakamtan natin.

music

Music

Pop, rock, acoustic, senti or whatever genre

Local or foreign artists

Feelings and messages of a song

Can express your true emotions

For every line you sang

For every beat you made

For every string you pluck

For every sound you produce

It is music in all way

Music turns on your life

Music does not feel you

But you can feel the music inside you

Music can make you feel happy and sad

Music is the only thing that can make you dance and sing with passion

Like a magic

Life without music is boring

Life without music is so damn boring

I, myself, you, yourself can be a music

“The One and Only”

All of my friends are telling me

I’m lucky and free like a bee

Fortunate to seems but for me

It’s not as easy as what they see.

Being only daughter is so sad

It makes me feel crazy and so mad

To do the things asks by Mom and Dad

Irritated me because I’m odd.

Clean this; wash the dishes all I hear

Arrange those and these, Oh Mama Dear…

To obey is nice, to complain is rare

Just to let my parents feel... I’m here.

Yes! They love me full and they are proud

Gives all the best I need and must have

They teach me to live a simple life

No hatred but love which fills my heart.

But still I feel very lonely

To see my peers with big family

Displace the face of feeling envy…

Just take a deep breath, take it easy!

I wish I can play with a bro or a sis

It runs in my mind how happy I’ll be

But I also think – will we always agree

In everything we’ll share, will they be happy?

If I have a big family as I imagine

Can I study in this school and get all I need?

Maybe yes or maybe no but one thing is for sure

That my parents may be happy but very much pressure.

My parents decided to have me and two more

But God did not give them for us to nurture

Until now I’m alone still waiting like before

Holding a dream with the thoughts life is too good to feel bore.

Though I’m stating this sadness of my heart

The other side of it is a contentment part

To have responsible and loving parents is a jackpot

That God has given me to be grateful for all I’ve got.

Ako’y anak ng namayapang si Sisa
Nabuhay sa bayan na puno ng kaba.

Takot, pasakit ang aking naranasan
Sa mga taong aking pinagaalayan.

Laging sumasagi sa aking isipan
Nagsisisi kung bakit siya’y iniwan.
Kapatid kong sa kumbento ay humimlay,
Sa mga prayle na walang awang pumatay!

Habang tinatahak ko ang kadiliman
Na sa akin ay lugmok na kapaitan
Bumalik ang masakit na ala-ala
May unos ng nakita sa aking mata.

Oh! Aking ina, maibalik ko sana
Ang mga panahon na tayo’y magkasama
Nangungulila sa iyong pagkawala
Pumatak ang luha ng pagkadakila!

Dahil sa dugo ko ikaw ay nabaliw
Dahil din sa akin bumalik ka giliw
Ngunit huli na, upang ako’y manabik
Sa aking ina na labis ang pag-ibig.

Sa liwanag na dala ng mga bituwin
Nakita ang lalaking tumulong sa’kin
Upang ang aking ina ay mailibing
Sa Pasko nilang buhay, patay na sa’kin.

Love Knows No Distance By Katrina D. Africa

Love Knows No Distance

By Katrina D. Africa

Love knows no distance

For a lover whose love is constant

Every second spent is important

For love do grabs all the chances.

As long as we breathe the same air

And living beneath the same Earth,

My heart is all settled

To this feeling I am here contented.

Those long distance calls

Means so much when I hear your voice

Our feelings does intersect

Wires, cables and power make us connect.

Travelling hours are longer

Time spent with you are shorter.

No words can convey this heart’s longing

To your arms I want to rest ‘til morning.
