Mahiwaga ma'y aking nadarama, dahil alam kong ikaw ang pipiliin ko sa araw-araw
Can I have your last name,
The same way I already have your heart?

You're already mine,
So why not make it official?

You’re so handsome,
Maybe you'd like to see a little version of yourself in me?

I am your wife,
But I can be anything you need—
Your partner, your peace, your greatest love.

You have a house,
But maybe you could build a home in me.

I’m not a pillow for you to hold dear,
But I’m warm and soft enough for you to stay close.

Most of all, I am your poetess;
And you, my love, are my greatest masterpiece.
If a woman sees you as a man who loves, cares, and strives to build a better life—whether rich or poor—your worth goes beyond words and wealth. True value isn’t measured by money but by the heart and effort you give.
Play your cards right and choose wisely what to discard.
You made me hate this city,
But this city holds the echoes of my pain.
I'd rather leave it all behind
Than stay and be abused by someone
I no longer wish to see.

Your love was always one-sided,
So I downed a shot of tequila—no lime, no chaser,
Letting the bitterness burn in one go.
First shot—your name crossed my mind.
Second shot—I missed you already.
A drink full of chaos, and suddenly, you were there again.

We used to be the life of the party,
Dancing through neon lights and reckless nights.
But one day, you changed—you cut me off,
Left me stranded in the silence.

Now, you're the reason
I no longer drown myself in liquor.
You're the reason
I quit drinking.
shot puno ng malala hanggang sa naalala ka
I met you in 2014,
Always glued to a screen,
Lost in computer games at the internet café
Where we used to hang out.

We chatted for a while,
Became friends, nothing more—
Or so I thought.

Fast forward to 2015,
Fate crossed our paths again.
You got my number,
And just like that, we started texting.

As far as I can remember,
It was July 9, 2015.
By July 10, 2015—
I was no longer the same.

Let me take you down my memory lane—
Back to July 9, 2015, at 8 PM.

You texted me out of the blue,
Asking if I had ever experienced a kiss.
I said no—
It had never crossed my mind.

And just like that,
We made a plan.
To meet at 4 AM,
On July 10, 2015.

It was my first time—
My first kiss,
My first taste of what I thought was love.

But I was wrong.

He never truly loved me.
I was just another distraction,
One of his passing flings.

Worse, he preyed on a Grade 9 student,
A girl battling depression.
And in the end,
His own actions caught up to him—
Because I pressed charges.

We stayed hidden from each other for five years,
Until fate brought us back together in 2019—
When I settled the case.
I know someone—a human, yet she moves like a wiretapper.
She hears everything, spinning stories from words never spoken.
Even her son is helpless—
A spoiled brat, untouched by the struggles of life.

She is just my granny’s nanny,
Yet she acts like she owns the place,
Always feeling at home—
As if she were part of the family.

But she shattered my trust,
Weaving lies from thin air,
Telling stories that were never true,
Never with proof, yet full of accusations—
Claiming she saw me steal food or worse,
When in truth, she only saw what she wanted to.

I can't even look her in the eyes,
Not after seeing her for what she truly is—
An untrustworthy woman,
Driven by strange ambitions,
Spinning webs of deception,
As if lies could build her a throne.

And yet, as time moves forward,
May karma write the final chapter,
For even bad bunnies cannot outrun
The shadows they cast on others.

Meanwhile, the mouse is off in the USA,
Living the easy life, carefree and idle,
Leeching off a spouse
Already burdened by depression.

While we, on the other hand,
Struggle to care for our grandmother,
As my mother loses sleep,
Worrying over how to stretch her pension,
While they look down on us,
Hoping we’ll just give up and leave.
Did you receive a death threat?
Or did you simply wish me misery?
But why do you react like a rabid dog,
Like an uneducated, ill-mannered woman?

Cerberus was kind enough to let you in,
Yet even Hades refuses to accept you.
A pretty face hides impure intentions—
Neither Persephone nor Aphrodite would ever welcome you.

But I do not need an invitation, to see you suffer
I do not even need a chauffer, I just needed a drachma for the ferryman
To send you to River Styx myself
Or to the pit of Tartarus instead
So shall we? Cerberus, Scorpioks, Manticore, Kraken, or Hydra, choose your battles wisely, my friend
Since all of them is waiting for a feast—to eat you up alive

Just like a rainbow, you revealed your true colors.
I get it, I swear.
You don’t have to prove to everyone how kind you are,
When deep inside, you let your intrusive thoughts take control.

If a fish rots, so do your dark pasts.
Even if you drink perfume like a potion,
Or rinse your mouth to make your words seem flowery,
You remain a foul person with a rotten personality,
Behaving like a rabid dog.

You forgot where you came from,
Tarnished your family's name,
Abandoned your identity and heritage,
Just to chase someone of a different race.

Like a snake, you shed your skin,
But time has stayed on our side.
In the end, you revealed yourself—
A gambler with nothing left to hide.
