Last year I wanted to **** myself
This year I want to do better
Even when life's looking wetter
I heard when it rains it pours
Keep pushing through these pains and soars
But I'm just struggling
Keep pushing myself
Even if it can be bad for my health
I know where I need to be
And one day I will see
That I didn't just do it for me
Or you or them but my whole family
So look at me go
Keep running
And even if I get slow
I'll still finish the race first
And make sure all of you know
I still did it at my worst

Sa gabing mapanglaw
buwan ay lumitaw
Aninag nya'y di makasilaw
Sa mata kong mapagtanaw

ilaw nya'y kinahanga
At tila di bibitaw
Sa aking pagtitingala
Ng ulo ko sa ibabaw

Ngunit sya'y isang buwan
At akoy' isang ako
Malayo, di malapitan
At dampian sya'y malabo

Tanging  pagtingala sa itaas
Ng tahimik, sa malayo
At likhain aking pantas
Habang nakatingin sa ibayo

You’re my only favorite kind of hero.

Aren’t you Prince Charming?

Even if I was your me amor?

Would you still love like te amo?

No one noticed my presence
because they were busy with you
I was once always busy
Until I buried my self in daises
And covered my shame under the yellow sun

when life serves you lemons, you make lemonade
when life performs cycles of crazy patterns, you listen
you listen to the science of reality and truth
you stand up to the certainties that can be validated
you survive the onslaught of the cycle and wait for lemons
you make lemonade...
