The first time we met
I'm not so sure, I won't regret
But you prove me something...
Something that I will never forget.

You teach me how to smile,
And did'nt make me cry,
With you right by my side
I feel safe not only for a while.

For everytime I am with you
I started to felt something new
Is this love what I felt?
I think it is, so I thank God we've met.

You treat me so special,
And love me for who I am
That's why nothings gonna change
Like the first time we met.

Remember that first day you met this special person that turned your world up side down? I still remember that day and from that very beginning I am glad we are still together.
Sa aking pag-iisa
ikaw lagi ang kasama
sa himig mo’y nadarama
pagkawala ng problema,
inawitan mo ako upang sumaya,
sa malungkot na mundo
ako ay di na nagdusa,
panahon ay lumipas
gabay mo’y di nawala
sinasalo mo maging
ang aking mga luha.
Kung ako ay tatanungin
Gaano ka ba kahalaga?
Kunin ka man sakin
Hahanap hanapin parin…
Talagang nag-iisa
Galing mo sa pakikisama,
Salamat sa iyo,
Mahal kong gitara.

Paano ka magpahalaga ng isang bagay at paano mo masasabing may karamay ka, salamat at merong gitarang sa akin handang dumamay.
I walked through life
With your love in my heart
You’re my strength,
You’re my hope,
You’re my inspiration at all;
You keep me warm in a
Cold dark night,
And guide me through
My way to light.
When my life gets tough
You’re always there
I know you’re someone
Who always care.
I thank you for being
My loving friend,
A friend who is always there
Until the end.

I remember writing this short poem during our vacant time in school, a friend of mine who is always there for me is my inspiration writing this poem.
You are a cloud
And I am a bird,
Together we will explore
This beautiful world,
The blue velvet ocean,
The freshness of the air,
The rising of the sun
That I couldn’t compare,
Look how beautiful
Our nature is!
I hope it wouldn’t end
Like a tragic disease,
Let us help Mother Nature
Maintain her beauty,
Let us make this world
Healthy and wealthy,
For the future sake,
Do not make a mistake
Just have your faith
I believe in what we can make.

A short poem about Mother Nature, Written back in 2008, made some small revisions.
It is a cold friday morning
and the sun isn't rising
I am on my bed doing nothing
The whole day is so boring...
I decided to take a zip of coffee
And a bit of bread to fill my tummy
I sat down and turned on the TV
And watched one theatrical movie,
This is how I spend my day
Sleeping, eating, watching all day
And if you think I had nothing to say
You're probably right, we'll put it this way...
I am just boring so I wrote this poem,
Do you think its nice? Don't get me wrong,
I have a lot like this, much better and long,
Some are Stories, Quotations and Song.
Now if you want to follow me,
To see my works and poetry...
Just leave a message or talk to me,
So you can join my World and Fantasy!

I was lazy that day and I don't have anything to do but my mind works and words started to pop up!
Ang kwento ng isang Pag-Ibig
Minsan masaya at minsan malupit
Minsan masaya pag kasama mo  siya
Minsan malupit kasi mayron siyang iba,

Ang sinabi niya sa iyo, mahal ka niya
Yung kabila naman, mahal rin daw niya
Ikaw naman itong si super tanga,
Nalaman mo na nga,  nagbubulag-bulagan pa...

"Mahal kita" ibinulong niya sayo,
Kinilig ka naman, bati na agad kayo
Niloko ka niya, sabay iiyak iyak ka,
Sino itong bobong nagpapaniwala sa kanya...

Nakipagkita siya sayo,
Nagsorry, nagmakaawa at muling nangangako,
Pagtalikod mo tumawa bigla etong si demonyo,
Napaikot ka muli, yun pala walang nagbago...

Nabalitaan mo ang buong katotohanan,
Heto ka, umiiyak at muling nangangatwiran,
Kesyo mahal mo siya kaya di mo maiwan,
Kahit yung mga tao sa paligid mo nagtatawanan.

Kaya para sayo ito aking matalik na kaibigan,
Sana matauhan kana sa iyong kamartiran...
Yang sabi **** mahal mo, di siya kawalan,
May mas hihigit pa jan, yan ang dapat **** tandaan!

Written for my friends who always ask for my advise about their love problems same as always
Nang ikaw ay aking nakilala
Buhay ko ay sadyang nag-iba,
Sa lambing mo at pagiging maalaga
Mundo ko ay lalong sumaya...

Paano ko sasabihing gusto na kita
Kung ako naman etong nangangamba,
Kung malaman mo aking nararamdaman
Baka ako naman ay iyong iwanan...

Natutuhan na kitang ibigin
Ako pa kay ay muling mapansin
Magawa mo kayang ako'y mahalin
At sabihin **** "ako'y sayo at ika'y sa akin"...

Handa na akong ika'y makasama
Basta makapiling ka aking sinisinta,
Pagkat ang mabuhay sa mundo ng wala ka,
Labis kong pagsisisihan at di ko makakaya.
