Miles Away

Miles away from you



The future is promising
And blessings are abundant
Working hard to provide
Even it means being away... miles away from home.


There are moments of joy
We're not able to share
There are moments of worries
With no shoulder to cry on.


There are times of sickness
I feel not your warmth
But I have to be strong
for our kids and their future.

The Hurting




Tears continue flowing
my eyes never dried
the past keeps on hurting
relieving the pain, I've tried.


Seeking for true happiness
wounds of heart, I get
filling up this emptiness
is much to my regret.

Meeting The Letter Writer for the First Time


My Debutante meets The Letter Writer
My Debutante meets The Letter Writer


It's my honor and pride to meet her in person
I only know her by name
and we happen to have the same.


It's my honor and pride to have her as my guest
and read my open letter 
for my debutante daughter.

The Superwoman We Know





She has been the
SUPERWOMAN
we know
who never fails to keep our
HOME
a place of 
convenience and pleasure.

She never fails to plan, 
prepare and cook
the best meal on our table
Never let the clothes 
dirty and crumpled.
Everything is organized from
ceiling to floor.

Expectation


Image not mine


When you expect 
SOMETHING 
will happen 
and it never did...
There's a reason behind it.


When you expect 
SOMEONE 
will come
and he/she never did...
There's an explanation to it.

Lizzette Aira - A Name That's Uniquely Owned


An instance flashed back before me, 
February of 1994, 
I learned that I was pregnant 
for the second time
after a miscarriage.


I recalled a time when I started 
to write down names like: 
Canisha Yvon, Dana Maureen, Leira Denisse 
but nothing would seem better than this particular name.
It never crossed my mind 
to search the meaning of your name 
ever since you were born 
until I found myself writing this. 
To my surprise, 
the definition describes who and what you really are... 
amiable, 
kind-hearted 
but sensitive and emotional by nature.

Reminiscing With These Old Photographs


My 4th birthday celebration photo with family
My bandaged hands


Looking at this photograph
is a reverie of the past long gone
More than four decades ago
an accident burnt my hands.


I may not remember anything
except for the stories repeatedly told
The scars that are still visible
remind me of the pain so unbearable.

KathNiel's Got to Believe at ang Tunay na Kwento


May isang sikat na Chichay
na ngayo'y bumibida
Komedyante rin
ang dating nya
pero sya ay may angking ganda
na mahilig managinip kahit
dilat ang mga mata.


Siya ay lumaki sa isang perya
Mama Bear ang turing
sa kanyang nanay
At Papa Bear naman ang tawag
sa kanyang tatay.
mahirap man ang buhay nila
"Never say die."
yan ang motto nya.
