"Sikreto ng Matagal na Pagsasama"



SIKRETO ba ika mo,
Meron nga ba?
Sa palagay ko... 

WALA

pero may mga paraan 
upang ito'y maisakatuparan.
Depende sa dalawang 
nagdesisyong magsama
sa hirap o ginhawa
sa lungkot man o saya.

Meron bang "formula"
ang wagas na pagmamahalan
at walang hanggang suyuan?
Babae ba ang nagdadala
o ang salitang

FAITHFUL

ang dapat na sangkap para
mapanatili ang tamis at sarap.

DEBUT ko Noon, DEBUT nya Ngayon - Part 2

Di makukumpleto ang handaan
kung walang "chibugan"
Salamat sa Frecel's Cuisine
ang mga dumalo ay di nabitin.

Simple pero elegante
 ang loob at labas ng "venue"
 dahil sa Rave Party One
siguradong OK ang "lights and sound"!

DEBUT ko Noon, DEBUT nya Ngayon - Part 1

Ang Debutante at ako
Ang Debutante at ako

Naisip ko lang
ang malaking kaibahan
nang aking ipagdiwang
ang ikalabing-walong kaarawan.

Naghanda lamang nang kaunti
para pagsaluhan
ng aking pamilya
at ilang kaibigan.

Naalala ko pa nga
palapa pa ng niyog
ang nagsilbing dibisyong nilagay
sa labas ng aming bahay.

"Ligawan Noon at Ngayon - Ano ang Pagkakaiba?"




-Photos not mine-


NOON...
Kahoy ay sinisibak
Tubig ay iniigib
Mabangong bulaklak
ang handog sa babaeng iniibig.


NGAYON...
Cellphone ang nasa kamay
o sa harap ng computer, naglamay
Nagkasagutan na ang dalawa
"In a relationship" na ang status nila.


Minsan naman, sa sobrang assuming, ganito ang peg


Being The Eldest of Four


Simplymarrimye - Being the eldest of four
From left to right - DL, Mommy, Daddy, Malu, Mahlen, ME and Kiko


Filipino families are known to be
closely-knitted
With a father, working hard for the money
a mother, keeping the home
 a shelter of harmony
and the children, burning eyebrows
to get a degree..


Typical and basic as it is...
I came from an environment with
humble beginnings.
A product of early marriage... the firstborn
and the eldest of four
was raised by a couple who
struggled, lived and survived the
difficulties of life.

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.
