I wake up early, beat the sun,
Another workday has begun.
Coffee strong and traffic wild,
But I just smile—I'm salary-styled. šŸ˜…

I clock in time, I do my best,
Meet deadlines, emails, zero rest.
Meetings here, reports to chase,
All just to win the monthly race.

Then finally—it’s payday bliss!
A moment every worker won’t miss.
But when I open my payslip wide,
I almost laugh (or cry) inside.

ā€œGross Pay: Amazing.ā€ But wait—what’s this?
SSS, PhilHealth, and tax? What a twist!
My net pay shrinks, it’s kinda rough,
Like buying steak, then getting just fluff.

Withholding tax? I see the slice,
Did I work for me—or pay the price?
I know it helps the nation's run,
But can’t they leave a bit more fun?

I planned a dinner, steak and wine,
But instant noodles will do just fine.
Shopping plans? Delayed again—
Thanks to tax, I count my yen. 🄲

Still, I hope my tax is used
For schools, for roads—not just abused.
Not lost in pockets deep and dark,
But spent to leave a proper mark.

So every month, with heart and grit,
We pay our dues and do our bit.
For though the cut may make us blue,
We still push through—because we do.

Life’s like ML — real talk, no tutorial.
You spawn broke, low stats, and zero referral.
You grind hard, thinking you got a team,
Then boom — they dip, and crush your dream. 🫠

I got my 1st **** when I lost myself,
Gave too much, forgot my health.
Trusted people who only drained,
Now I’m solo queuing with pain ingrained.

Double **** — back-to-back betrayals,
No shields, no heals, just fake approvals.
Smiled in front, stabbed from the rear,
So now I only ride with the real ones here. 🧢

Triple **** when life went dark,
Bills, stress, no fire, no spark.
Family probs, fake love scenes,
Yet still I stood — no in-betweens.

I hit Maniac, mid-crisis vibe,
Cried in silence, kept the tribe.
Played strong, but I was bruised,
My own thoughts had me confused. šŸ˜®ā€šŸ’Ø

Then came the Savage, full collapse,
Rock bottom hits with no recaps.
No one clapped, no one cared,
Guess what? I still repaired.

So I leveled up, bought my peace,
Deleted drama, signed a lease.
Now I’m Unstoppable — built from flames,
No cheat code, just earned my name. šŸ”„

Rampage, but I’m chillin’ now,
No flex, just purpose in my style.
Lessons learned, no space for fakes,
I’m cooking wins while silence bakes. šŸ³

Now I’m Godlike — calm and cold,
Not heartless — just in control.
No more chasing those who fold,
I protect my energy like gold. šŸ’ø

And if they call me Legendary,
It's 'cause I walked alone when life got scary.
Didn’t need applause or fake hype,
I just stayed real, tight, and right.

ā€œThey played me like a game, till I became the MVP.ā€

In the quiet hush of midnight skies,
A dream is born where hope still lies.
It starts as stars in silent gleam,
A flicker deep—a secret dream.

It dances through the heart’s closed door,
A promise waiting to explore.
Though shadows fall and doubts may scream,
We rise again to chase the dream.

It does not shout, nor boast, nor plead,
It grows with love, with faith, with need.
And when the world forgets your name,
A dream still burns, a quiet flame.

So, dream, though winds may shake your flight,
For even wings are born from night.
No matter how far things may seem—
Life begins with just… a dream.

Ang mga babae… parang accounting.
Mahirap intindihin,
Kailangan ng analysis bago mo ma-handle nang maayos.
At kahit akala **** tama na ang formula mo,
Magkakamali ka pa rin sa computation ng feelings nila.
Bakit?
Kasi sila yung tipo ng asset na laging may hidden value.
May ā€œgoodwillā€ kang kailangang alagaan,
At once na mawala ā€˜yan?
Write-off agad… kahit ilang taon mo pang pinundar.

Ang mga babae, parang general ledger din.
Hindi mo sila pwedeng kulangin ng entry.
Kailangan consistent ang effort.
Miss mo lang mag-text ng "kumain ka na?"
Aba, may variance analysis ka nang aabutin.
At kapag sila ay nagalit?
Expect a full audit.
Every past mistake,
Every delayed reply,
Every seen-zoned chat mo kahit noon pang nakaraan?
Ibabalik lahat sa’yo — with matching attachments.

Minsan din, parang sila yung accounts receivable.
Lagi kang may hinihintay.
Time. Attention. Sweet words.
Pero kapag ikaw na ang may due date ng pagmamahal?
Nagiging uncollectible expense ka.
Pero ā€˜wag ka.
Pag minahal ka ng totoong ā€œbabae,ā€
Parang properly recorded investment ā€˜yan —
Steady ang growth,
May dividend ng lambing,
At hindi ka na kailanman ilalagay sa ā€œdisposal group held for sale.ā€
So yes,
Ang mga babae, parang accounting.
Hindi madaling i-master.
Pero kapag natutunan mo silang basahin,
At inalagaan **** parang pinaka-precious **** journal entry…
Matic yan na mahanap mo na ang tunay **** forever sa ledger ng buhay mo.

Ang pag-ibig ay parang himig
Na parang hangin na malamig
Kaysarap pakinggan sa tenga
Na para bang ika’y kinakalinga

Kahit di alam ang ibig sabihin nito
Ika’y napapaindayog at napapasabay rito
At pilit na sinasabayan kahit na wala sa tono
Na umaalolong na parang aso kahit sintunado

Tulad sa pag-ibig kahit na di ka gusto
Pilit mo parin sinisiksik ang sarili mo dito
Kahit na sobrang sakit, tinitiis mo parin ito
At sunod-sunuranan ka na para bang aso

Ganoon talaga ang mundo, di perpekto
Mahirap ngunit masarap mabuhay rito
Sadyang mahiwaga at puno ng sopresa
Kaya wag kang mawalan ng pag-aasa

Dahil may tamang kanta para sayo
Siguradong masasabayan mo na ito
Maiintindihan pa ang mga liriko nito
At higit sa lahat di ka magiging sintunado

Ganoon din sa pag-ibig may laan para sayo
Nandiyan siya anu man ang iyong gusto
Siguradong sasama siya sa bawat trip mo
At hinding-hindi ka pa iiwan sa ere nito

I
Life is not totally happy
It is not as easy to say easy
Or it could not be like a taffy
That is so sweet and tasty

II
Because life is full of mystery
That it can happened a day
And you cannot escape away
But you need to face your way

III
Like a cloud in the sky
Sometimes it could be hazy
Just go in a side to cry
And let it in to fall and dry

IV
If you feel failed to try
Don’t worry, we will still lucky!
ā€˜coz He will help us in everyday
And that is our Almighty.
Psalm 37:5 "Commit your way to the Lord. Trust in Him, and He will act."

It’s hard to forget ā€œXā€
And don’t asking me ā€œYā€
Because that will make you crazy
Just like a game of ā€œPluppyā€

Don’t be so gloomy
And just make your life easy
Although it is not so easy
Because you deserve to be happy
And i want to say,
Good day my Beautiful Ladyā€..
