Childhood. Play.
Idle time - Watch TV

Teenage. Build friendship.
Idle time- Watch TV

College. Thesis and deadline.
Idle time - Watch TV

Work mode. Busy and busier.
Idle time - Watch TV

Old age. Eyeglasses and hearing aid.
Idle time - Someone who can respond to a stimuli,
preferably a husband.

Thank you for all the helping hands that try to reach us after the super typhoon Haiyan.
Thank you for saying your prayers even before the storm hit our country.
Thank you.

To the writers and editors who put an effort to research the ways to donate,
Thank you for filling the white spaces the verbs of hope
The words are too powerful
Blessings are literally pouring  right now.

These articles are the counterpart of the devastating reality the news is feeding us.
Yet, we must know reality
Thank you for all the journalists who brings these stories in our household.
Unconsciously, you are answering our questions.

To all the countries,
Thank you for loving our country
Thank you for sharing a piece of your nation.

To all the anonymous people who sent their donations,
To my clients,
Thank you.

To all the people who created pictures of hope
Thank you for sharing your talent
Love is felt.

In behalf of my countrymen,
Thank you.

A friend said, "It's hard to start a relationship."
Yes, in any form, beginning is always the hardest.

Starting this poem ain't easy as well
Though I have an idea on my mind.
Introductions are harder to write than the body and the conclusion
It's so hard to start especially on a writer's block.

In writing, you can choose how to end a story
It's a choice.

But I just realize
Ending a story with a bad ending is hard as well
Unconciously, you put yourself in a trauma.

Moving on is inevitable,
It's a must
Moving on is easy,
It only takes a little time,
A little time.

But when someone knocks on your door
Why are you anxious to open it?
Are you worried what may happen?

Yes, in any form, beginning is always the hardest.

How's the strawberry shake?
Response - It doesn't taste good.
The other stall offers better.
Seller staring.
Tumbleweed.

That girl!
Her voice is terrible.
Girl overheard. Their eyes met.
Tumbleweed.

Will you marry me?
*Tumbleweed.

Married people always tease
Their singled-out single friends
Oh yes! They are bully!
I'm a victim.

Then,
I started to ask so many questions
Should I lower my standards?
Should I ask for a date?
That is so desperate.

And,
A guy will come your way
Knocking to your sleepless heart
Asking for your time.

Did I say that I already opened it?
I was about to say that it was already locked.
I had given him a chance,
Chances!
But the spark already faded.

Okay, let me try once more
Maybe meeting him will help
But I'm really in doubt
Because the boy next door
Already made a bang!

— The End —
