Oh Father God, I am anxious
Trials might get more serious
Burdens might weighten
Strength might lessen
Oh my Creator, diminish my loads
Oh my Creator, smoothen the roads

Oh Jesus Christ, I’m filled with anxiety
Cross might be harder to carry
I might fall along the way
I might get into dismay
Oh my Savior, help me carry on
Oh my Savior, let me move on

Oh Holy Spirit, I am perplexed
My life might have been hexed
It might be harder to manage
It might bring me rage
Oh my Guide, grant me understanding
Oh my Guide, make me withstanding.

Culled thee from nipa
Little manger roof
We call it “Belen”
By third year students
It’s from a palm tree

My advisory

Don’t know who from them
But it’s one of them
Who got and placed it

Third day January
Third day Twenty Twelve
Third day of the year
Of Water Dragon
About 8 AM

Roof of small manger
Back from one corner
Third years placed it there
With other decors

Got with two more leaves
Obtained the same day
While Xmas decors unfixed.

Oh Sanggre Pirena, Keeper of the Jewel of Fire
Teach me the cleverness & skill I desire
Cleverness in dealing with my detractors
Skill in defeating my competitors

Share me the blazing desire of Hathoria
To subjugate other tribes & dominate Encantadia
Just like the fire of life – ignite my ambition
So that I can establish fame, power & dominion

Being the eldest offspring like me
Your dominant nature is the hope of family
The light of your fire – oh keep it alive
Against all obstacles – may it make me survive!

Girls looking teenage
Those men were standing

Strangers on the road

Fine day – sun was high

Traversed all alone

I want to be in paradise on earth
Free from all disgusting man-made dirt.

Roll on grasses
With no itches
Soak in water
‘Til I’m cleaner
Breathe the fresh air
Shun all despair!

Make me one with God’s prior creations
Filtering all worldly pollutions.

Sleep with the beasts
Feel them at least
Swim with fishes
Cleanse blemishes
Fly with the birds
Clouds we traverse!

Because I want to be one with nature
Making slower my mortal rupture.

The Catholic Church is one
Its supreme head is the Pope
Infallible & authoritative like the sun

The Catholic Church is holy
For its founder itself is Jesus Christ
The Son of God, so blessed is He

The Catholic Church is universal
Aiming to reach all nations of the world
Its dominion has gone international

The Catholic Church is apostolic
Propagated by the apostles of Christ
Whose mission is prophetic & angelic.

Now with your blunder no more I can see!
After having my shelter & fodder then you’ll flee!

Ungrateful! I sheltered you but my eye you shattered!
I fed you but my blood you splattered!
Now I will crush you and your nasty herd!

I will shred your flesh once you’re clutched!
Don’t know my brutality has never been matched?!

Criminals! You will soon pay for your brutality!
Don’t you know you have enraged thee?!
Thee you have offended…the mighty god of the sea!

Godless! How dare you inflict the son of a god?!
For yourself it’s fruit is really, really bad!

Got thee on so-called Lit. Day
At second Ramayan play –

Oh how this day tested me
When time came, not yet ready
8 AM our program must
Most unprepared, oh aghast
Others were out the junction
Sounds went into malfunction

Disappointed superiors
Extended out their clamors
And moved the program further
Towards a one noon after
Thanks God there’s no more trial
Lit. Day flowed through its final

Proud of my BEED IV
With their guts & splendor
But when everything’s over
Cendy left flower scepter

Then Lorie Jean picked it up
Saw it timely, got asap.

Once again same route
It’s arboreal
It’s fruit national
Leaf from “mango” tree!

Living property
Perhaps long ago
Thin & tall, young though
The tree’s juvenile

Third month and sixth day
While out along way
Sir Ralph had just been
Death cart had just seen
Overheard necro

Left-side corridor
Of the school’s ground floor
Almost near garage
Of front gate’s entrance
Some sort of plant box

While funeral mass
Roching Dadivas -

But at least I’ve just witnessed
That you have changed

You’ve tried to be fair
To those in despair

You’ve shown impartiality
To an enemy

Somehow my toils – suicidal, insane
Didn’t fully fall in vain

There’s no need to worry
Proofs never existed in me

And my “boom” party-protection
Just mere propaganda & opinion

Out of addiction
To watching television

No more reason to arrest nor abduct
No more bother to **** nor destruct

Time to close your Wako-Wako eyes
Time for both of us to rise

Though for me I’m still a Kapuso
My respect & trust are back to 2.

Six-leaf plant only
It’s ornamental
But not so floral
It’s a “fortune” plant!

Maybe it’s father
Perhaps my mother
Or younger sister
But not me – never
Who cared to plant it

‘Twas here years ago
One, two, three or so
But leaf I picked, hey
Thirty first of May
Twenty eleven

Here inside our house
In living room, browse
On petite vase, lo
With water shallow
Near little Buddhas

So it’s origin
Of my Tolada

Already there existing

And when everything was born
Then nothingness Thee adorn
Thy sake was never forlorn

Alongwith them, Thee survive

All existence it imbues

Thy prowess shall still extend
All faults and flaws, still Ye mend
Until Thy creations end!

Behold the Philippine Eagle, King of Birds!
The tallest eagle, terror of monkey herds
Its crest stands tall like a rooster on the roll
Hear its vibrant, authoritative call
Like a mythical griffin, it has the cover of a lion
That’s why in our nation it’s called “Haribon”.

Discovered by a man from United Kingdom
The faithful, monogamous Haribon (King of Birds) is only from
The Philippines, my country…a valiant country
First known to Europeans in our year of gallantry
When our national hero, Rizal, was brutally slain
By our first conqueror – the kingly Spain

This glorious bird is our monument of courage
A living emblem of our struggle for golden age
Its dignified countenance on our coin chiseled
So splendid & adorable like a handsome young man muscled
The starring on our national basketball team’s logo
This is our national bird – adore, preserve & lo!

Feet get hurt while tending sheeps
