DOPPELGANGER

I was resigned to move out
This could be quite a huge clout
Much talked about expansion
So called slums to a mansion . . .

As the adjustment began
So was the fun fare was gone
Not that long to take notice
The lone gem at the office . . .

Always the chameleon
The color of your intention
Exchange glances from afar
Piercing through their window bar . . .

Contemplating on my scheme
Make the most out of the steam
Read those writings on her wall
And it said, push this to fall . . .

Opening was presented
Both their wishes were granted
Spontaneously gradual
What's between 'em was mutual . . .

Wait, too quick on the trigger
Adversities are bigger
Subscribed on that same old trend
Her man on the other end . . .

So the progress was cut short
The mission was to abort
'Cuz of my knack for trouble
Somehow, I need a double . . .

Still outcome remains the same
These hard luck I cannot tame
After providing a scare
As if no one seems to care!

SHUN

Can she answer this question
'Bout having a relation?
Mere fact that you are grounded
Makes everyone dumb-founded . . .

Can't get a message across
Tired keeping these fingers crossed
So much for elevation
I missed the relegation . . .

She can not push him around
Sneakers are firm on the ground
These knees no longer wobbly
Its scars will keep 'em sturdy . . .

Too deep in your made-up trench
You might have lost your own wrench
Can't vent your ire on others
You've placed your bets on others . . .

Why don't you just let me go?
You just can't keep me in tow
Impossible is nothing
But, we have lost everything!

A HERO TO BOOT

A forced orphan early
He struggled so dearly
Was breast-fed at neighbor
Endured every labor . . .

At ten was a driver
Showed no signs of shiver
A king of their river
With a sub-par liver . . .

Was a topnotcher in class
In P.E. failed to pass
Cuz he 'aint got no shoes
Halted his ego's bruise . . .

Fate led him to Julie
Fought for their love truly
Amidst opposition
Stood firm with decision . . .

Blessed with many children
A king now has his den
Family of his own
There he wants to be known . . .

Armed with just principles
Got tons of disciples
Has left a legacy
For all of us to see . . .

Can mingle with any
Has befriend so many
With skills so uncanny
At the same time funny . . .

He toyed with some substance
I never took a glance
His face may be tarnished
Respect never vanished . . .

Tormented by kidney
Plus swelling of the knee
Battle he did not win
His body just gave in . . .

Huge crowd at interment
To share with our lament
I'm proud to be your son
May you rest in peace, man!

It has been 10 years, we miss you Daddy!

SPLENDOR

So very fortunate
Having you as my mate
Felt like the world stood still
We could run off the mill . . .

To light up the candle
Lounging in your cradle
Awed by sheer existence
Mine never had such sense . . .

Please never leave my sight
Bound to falter I might
As you hug me so tight
The feeling's oh so right . . .

So much for the effort
And some needed retort
Always been there for me
Amidst the troubled me . . .

To conquer any storm
We don't need to conform
Chase our dreams together
Make this pact forever!

PLAYING FAVORITES

Task was inevitable
They knew we were capable
After a couple of test
I was hoping for the best . . .

Never intended some harm
I'm always holding your arm
I know what you're going through
Relegated to a crew . . .

But you are acting strangely
I was dealt violently
That recurring jealousy
Up against vehemently . . .

Tasted claws of Wolverine
This pact should be so serene
Made a vow to change my stance
I'm vent to stick with my guns . . .

Apology for my words
Let's hit the harmonious chords
Finish our task together
Amidst a stormy weather!

CARPE DIEM

It was a random question
You were sending a notion
While inside that station
There's a bit of commotion . . .

Never thought it could happen
No longer in a play-pen
All the while every thing's zen
Normal as counting to ten . . .

We all knew that it's a must
In earning each other's trust
Showing the ill-fated rust
Upon the product of bust . . .

The excuse was the control
What if you swayed to the roll
Supposed the bouncing of ball
It may have taken its toll . . .

Effects were devastating
He was left contemplating
An event to be watching
Well the odds are quite tempting!

QUANT WANNABE

I was dealt with a good news
So wanting to share my views
Truth is they must be thankful
End of the year seems fruitful . . .

You were forced to be stuck here
She is the one you hold dear
But I have to be in slumber
You were like an old timber . . .

This is not festive should mean
But those lights are going dim
Music should be loud and clear
Moving up to the next gear . . .

The night must be different
You've already paid the rent
Why am I feeling this sad
We should be merry and glad . . .

No more dough for the climax
Can't convince him to relax
A lot of things on my list
Then why should I feel like dissed!

DAINTILY JUSTIFIED

I'm never a push-over
Always have my own lever
Not what I have envisioned
These things you have captioned . . .

Maybe argumentative
Rampant when you're inactive
Cannot find the adjective
Define your prerogative . . .

As you were shedding a tear
Wouldn't place myself in rear
Wanted to be attentive
But you are so secretive . . .

Trying my earnest to fish
To spill the beans how I wish
You chose anonymity
The span of your proximity . . .

It should come straight in your mouth
Comparing was such a rout
Don't have to schedule a bout
Who has to be going south . . .

Fact is I've never complained
Much of my vows have retained
If only I could be wise
I'd be thinking otherwise . . .

This is a bad precedent
To analyze how it went
Kindly tell it to my face
You don't have to wait for days . . .

Treat me like an imbecile
But I'm still paying the bill
I admit my shortcomings
That add up to your drownings . . .

You have your own dilemmas
More so the damage it has
Wanted to look after them
You think I would give a damn . . .

You're not doing anything
To purchase yourself a bling
This could never had happened
Our spirits to be dampened . . .

Putting us in a stand-off
No one wanted to be soft
This could go on forever
Safari in a rover . . .

Can you define a husband
You could swish and flick your wand
Well if this is the last dance
Gotta squeal it in advance!

ABERRATION

What is tha accusation?
Please give the information
Of your sudden dwindling
Pushed him away from meddling . . .

That should not be tha basis
Tha place is your oasis
Each of 'em has their own flaws
Don't be acting like a boss . . .

Has acted in unison
Pulled tha stunt in a season
Vivid display of faction
So long, tha famous notion . . .

This is really uncalled for
You have lambasted tha core
So if that is tha real case
Then you can have your own base . . .

Don't make a fool outta him
Never considered a whim
In time you'll be forced tha need
To just overturn tha deed!

CAST AWAY

Which one of these are really true?
Shed some light & please give a clue
Assertion was not verified
In awe of being petrified . . .

Uttered without hesitation
Jumping tha gun in conclusion
If the memory serves it right
Tha avoidance of a good fight . . .

Based on the insinuation
That is a clear vindication
Actions that you clearly stated
Tha very things that he hated . . .

He has never been a quitter
Just try to look at tha meter
This matter has not to be toyed
Can easily fill-up that void . . .

There would be no more convincing
Offer was neither enticing
Paranoia was prevalent
Comprising tha thoughts you have sent . . .

Can we call it now a has-been
Could shoot it straight down to the bin
There has been another solace
Still, don't have a knot to unlace!

DISARRAY

It has flown in an instant
All thought was a resistant
These words were far from action
Surprise-sudden reaction . . .

Oodles of things to attend
Tha advise to recommend
Effect that was resorted
Somehow someone aborted . . .

Deserving wasn't an issue
Zero plan in dissing you
Why not cooperation?
Rather than hibernation . . .

This was a neat lesson sent
Please survive another dent
Before it becomes a trend
Muster inner guts to bend . . .

Difference was prevalent
Not tha avenue to vent
When all has been said and done
Have to go back to square one . . .

A case of mismanagement
Lacking in some department
Miscalculated vision
Just part of a botched mission!

DEVIATION

Whilst on a state of delusion
She took away his confusion
This would be a mark, a mission
Not caring 'bout tha division . . .

They really barked at tha wrong tree?
Oh c'mon, but they were both free
They were even feted with glee
Things all of us could never see . . .

He has never been a planner
She was never thought a winner
Now both were tagged as a sinner
Don't force 'em to be a runner . . .

Helpless with affection's out pour
They're solidifying tha core
Still checking out what is in store
You have no need to slam that door . . .

Though bereft with a glorious past
Smithereens will turn into dust
Now togetherness is a must
Draw a line between love and lust!

NOTHING ON YOU

It is in utter regret
They wont easily forget
The fine line was made to snap
You have fallen to a trap . . .

Still under the influence
Yet you were just so intense
Now you are an abuser
Making 'em all accuser . . .

Never meant to be this way
Manner you're closing your day
Last thing you were expected
You were never neglected . . .

Like two different persons
You've never learned those lessons
Not apt for this attention
Kindly check your reflection . . .

Even brought your act at home
They pity the hapless phone
Good thing she stayed beside you
Least of 'em to be with you!

CUT THROAT

Tha memory still remains
No need to stroll down tha lane
As tha needle reached your leg
I can just watch, hold and beg . . .

Fragile and vulnerable
Amuse us, you were able
Agony after a fall
My name you will always call . . . 

Waking me up with your voice
Chuckled by your trademark poise
How good you are faking sleep
I'm so disturbed when you weep . . .

Combed your hair like a grown-up
My room always a mess-up . . .
Your fondness for my scooter
Stuck your hand in it's muffler . . .

In how you mimic my stance
So overwhelmed with a glance
How I wish we never part
Never fails to break my heart . . .

Fell short for our family
Maybe was not meant to be
Biological father
Have more perks from tha other . . .

Now hatred's second coming
Pushed away from my dwelling
If I have just done better
Rather not wrote this letter!

STAYING SOBER AMIDST THE LURKING RELAPSE

It started with a greeting
Then asking of the setting
No picking where they left off
This is more of a send off . . .

Who can forget 'bout this day?
Bare witness on things you say
Change of heart is so futile
This has become her new deal . . .

Sounded all too familiar
Piercing through his strength's pillar
As the sun shone its brightest
There his hopes blink its dimmest . . .

Succumbing to the pressure
He won't able to measure
Now she's the heir to their clan
Ardent to those punys' plan . . .

No more promises this time
He won't be having her time
He was for her disposal
No need for his refusal!

YES WE'RE MEANT . . . NOT TO BE!

She have made it loud and clear
The things she wanna hold dear
Zilch in her priority
Ignored the minority . . .

It has become a routine
Things/events that he had seen
Difference of then and now
He should have known better now . . .

Situations were the same
He's always losing her game
He was summoned to follow
Though chances are so hollow . . .

It was all about the dough
That he always had so low
She had a no brainer choice
She gotta maintain that poise . . .

He was just drawn to believe
He deserved what he received
That it was all his fault
The supposed adding in salt . . .

Score now was two against one
But still, he can't be the one
Stacked-up in that equation
Proclaimed as a relation . . .

Easily opt for other
He didn't need to bother
Because freedom was his ace
He had no knot to unlace . . .

But while on the other hand
Though her life was seemed so grand
She had to stick her butts with
Someone she had no feelings with . . .

They now know the irony
Who's really in agony
He can start his life anew
Chances, no matter how few . . .

No need to pin hopes on her
Now send his regards to her
last time to write about her
Time to close chapter on her . . .

It's his turn to bid farewell
A word that made him unwell
They can now lay theirs to rest
And wish each other the best!

COMING CLEAN

Been in a hell of a state
I've been ramming to this gate
Outbursts has been pretty late
Progress has been put to wait . . .

Man, it would not help your cause
Your antics pisses your boss
Before considered a loss
Just gather yourself and doze . . .

Avenue for your scapegoat?
Of not being on same boat?
Your tone on a wayward note
They sent a negative quote . . .

Your stunts were all uncalled for
You have an established core
Careful in asking for more
They're about to shut their door . . .

There is no one else to blame
For so called "infamous" fame
Like a wild beast they can't tame
Booze as excuse was so lame . . .

Now on the receiving end
The irks you have to contend
Come clean you wish to intend
Peace and love you want to send!

GENTLEMANLY BUT A WEE BIT CRUDE

We are completely in the zone
When we're together, nothing else matters
All tha lights turned green
It's just you and me on tha road
There was our forbidden kingdom
Lying in tha outskirts of this city
It's just a matter of time
As we are always telling ourselves. . .

They are picking up tha pieces
WIth their bare hands in tha mud
Well deserved grand time
Taking tha risks for granted
Another crack presented itself
Cautious not to blew this again . . .

How about tha law of averages
Tha moment we have eluded
See tha odds stacked up against us
Are you brave enough to hurdle 'em
Why did we let this happen
Tha exclusiveness we have thrown away
Would we live happily ever-after
Is tha mighty one still amongst us . . .

VERIDICAL

As I'm browsing the pages
Have to control my rages
This is one for the ages
Dazed in fighting the urges . . .

Need to know more some details
And the damage it entails
Run rings 'round these twisted rails
While pulling off nasty nails . . .

The key to my survival
Though only a revival
Contemplating upheaval
All set for my retrieval . . .

Pin-pointing all the regrets
Hoping this membrane forgets
It's just as good as it gets
I can risk all of my bets . . .

Can you please prove 'em all wrong
It must not take you too long
Dedicate another song
Can't withstand your same old prong . . .

We may have an unclean slate
But who cares, this is our fate
It could never be too late
Hold my hand and keep thy faith!

BRINK DEUX

For years it was lingering
Just hopelessly wandering
So another time is slack
Hue was never been this black . . .

Can't run with an empty tank
Stranded from the muddy bank
Clouded with uncertainty
In search for identity . . .

Must re-invent my exit
How can I get off thy seat?
Please don't let yourself be stuck
Or be 'bout to self-destruct . . .

I know I'm already numb
How I wish I can be dumb
But I've been incapable
Sure got this knack for trouble . . .

Well deserved vindication
Forget the indication
Don't play God, mother fuckers
Screw y'all, so long suckers . . .

Fuck, you can't alter my life
How dare you try steal my wife
All of you can piss me off
But you can never write me off!

TRICKLES THE TWINE

A sullen riot inside
Forcing your earnest to hide
There's no need to post the guide
Fuck the norms you won't abide . . .

The refuge you've been wanting
All the talks you've been ranting
The spaces you were renting
Absolutely heeds something . . .

Got a ton of sentiments
Leave no unturned sediments
Careful with the compliments
It may lead to arguments . . .

They became invincible
Yet almost vulnerable
Pull both ends of the cable
Make ends meet, they were able . . .

Riding with your subtle flow
We prefer it this slow
Within every breath they blow
Racks up the regions to claw . . .

How far can we keep the pace?
Will you just let him rip that lace
Just can't show it in his face
C'mon let us start the race!

A blessing in disguise
While I was with the guys
Stressed from a late night-out
Yet, have to face day's bout . . .

Our paths have crossed again
I'm not quite ready then
Gather myself inside
Before I storm outside . . .

Gave a warm reception
Still serving suspension
My heart leap from its place
Seeing my darling's face . . .

Refresh your memory
Convince your armory
To let us have our days
And not our separate ways . . .

Calculations were right
So talented and bright
Like music to my ears
Your voice has cast my fears . . .

I wanna say sorry
You don't need to worry
It won't happen again
Be peaceful at your den!

THE MELTDOWN

A year, 6 months and 21 days
Being in a state of endless daze
Although patience is not my virtue
Plus all the letdowns I gotta chew
Maybe still clueless on what to do
But I left Him my crack to subdue . . .

Then one typical Thursday evening
There was such an unexpected ring
My bro told me 'bout your location
So I ran straight to that direction
Hesitated first to go upstairs
Can I brush off the unmindful stares? . . .

There you are running in the play-place
For so long I've been trying to seize
Excited, as well as terrified
Vulnerable, I was teary-eyed
Quickly you went back to the table
To psych myself up, I was able . . .

I tried picking-up where we left off
Upon seeking refuge, you seem off
Contented myself by just glancing
Well, is this still one of my trouncing?
Why are aloof and scared with me?
Forgot all the time you spent with me? . . .

You may have a new father image
Fine, if that's what they want you to gauge
Somehow part of me still left in you
And as you strode away from my sight
Some anticipations end tonight!

JULIE

Through her womb we are conceived
Amount of love we received
Service was unwavering
No task considered daunting . . .

From the start of our every day
Even up to her last day
We're still her priority
Amidst deteriority . . .

To describe the sacrifice
Can't find the words to suffice
Maybe too vocal and loud
Yet, we are still very proud . . .

Light she bestowed upon us
The one who always guides us
Love that she have always shown
The greatest love we have known . . .

We can accept this irony
Than to see you in agony
May be lost physically
But never spiritually!


WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!
REST IN PEACE MOMMY!!

AN IDIOT'S GUIDE TO BOOST SELF CONFIDENCE

1. Pamper yourself with the latest gadgets and gizmo's that you can afford. Bring 'em wherever you may go. Just don't invite unwarranted attention for 'em!
#DontBeLeftBehind

2. As the saying goes: A man who suits up smartly gains respect from the people around him. Hey, it's time to ditch your favorite "Class A" worn-out kicks!
#DressToImpress

3. A confident man never crumbles under pressure. Learn how to deal with your setbacks graciously. Shedding some tear is not an option homie!
#TearJerker

4. With every dictionary that you stumble upon, tear the page where the word "Insecure" is inscribed. You are better than this, way better!
#WebsterBoy

5. An eloquent speaker knows what he is talking about. Style is important, but not as integral as substance. Walk the talk!
#TalkTheWalk

6. Academic prowess is innate within you. Back in the days, you were always running for honors. What they don't know is your seat-mate/best bud was the class valedictorian!
#CopyPaste

7. Enroll in a mixed-martial arts school so no one can scare the hell out of you. Brag about the styles and techniques you have accustomed to. But never practice the "Kimura" on your hapless little sister!
#UFCKetchup

8. You were once a hoop demigod in your rural alley. You always demand the ball and create opportunities for yourself & your dork teammates. The problem is you were always a runner-up!
#Choker

9. Tell your girlfriend (if you happen to have one), to say how much she adores you, loves you, and how terrible & incomplete her life would be without you by her side. Record it on your dual band cellphone and assign it as your ring tone!
#UseAsPlayback

10. Convince yourself that you are the epitome of the human male species. While in front of the mirror, tell yourself what your Mom used to tell you, that you are the most beautiful creature in your room. Never fail to believe her!
#MamasBoy

Face your fears, live your dreams. Go to sleep!

AMYGDALA

A lot of speculation
Sightings always a mention
Also sent a deception
Longing for confirmation . . .

Buried and crushed with envy
Brink of losing my savvy
Still waiting for my baby
That is all I gotta be . . .

To see you in the morning
Be with you 'til the evening
Spend each second nurturing
Witnessing you shimmering . . .

They are asking after you
There could only be one you
Extra ordinary hue
Provided alone by you . . .

Time away is lengthier
How could I be happier?
Doesn't make it easier
The pile up is mightier . . .

I can hide the extinguish
Rights I have to relinquish
I'm easy to distinguish
Here all set for my vanquish!

Fishing information . . .

Still,
Target of their tirade
Still,
Trying to make the grade . . .

Yet to be determined
Still,

TALES FROM ANOTHER

If I had it my way
I'll be with you all day
To witness everything
Be a part of something . . .

As the sun warms your skin
And its rays dwells within
Jaundice has faded out
We have won your first bout . . .

Another good riddance
Lactose intolerance
Now having a milk-spree
As long it's lacto-free . . .

Healthier by the day
Everyone 'round would say
By flashing us your smile
Already have a style . . .

Ready for Christening
What a great happening
Tears kept flowing from you
When water's poured to you . . .

First Christmas together
Have to rush going there
Still have to go to work
To arrange spoon and fork . . .

Well what a year that was
Left a lot as it pass
Upon losing our dad
Also became a dad!

TOP 10 REASONS TO STAY SINGLE:

1. Women are associated with miseries - PMS, nervous breakdown, emotional strains, et al. You don't wanna be the outlet of their excess baggage!
#RedAlert

2. Angel Locsin and Marian Rivera have already found their respective significant others. You were never a football superstar nor a hunk-hearthrob to begin with!
#HackTheFact

3. You will never miss a barkada night-out ever again. You can always booze like a college dude just like old times!
#BottomsUp

4. Now, you can always check out the most happening places in the metro, hang-out with the hottest chicks and flash those toothy grin of yours!
#ReadyToMingle

5. Those nightmare hours of being a shopping chaperon would just be a thing of the past. You can roam the mall with your well-deserved freedom!
#TreatYourself

6. Those colorful body inks, awesome piercings and extreme lifestyles can be practiced to your heart's content without leaving a familiar face dismayed!
#PermissionNotRequired

7. You begin to realize that you now have those extra bucks for your beat-up ride. You can now afford to pull-off some nasty upgrades!
#BanaweBound

8. The remote control is all yours for the taking. Watch your favorite programs, movies and bring out that child in you again. More video games please!
#LazyBoyCouch

9. Privacy has long been overdue! You will not have to share cellular phone, macbook and social media log-ins to a wannabe paparazzi!
#HackerFree

10. The Commander-in-Chief of the Philippines would prove to be an excellent example. To avoid further scrutiny, his love-life has been likened to Coke. From Light to Zero!

UNBEKNOWNST

I'm not planning to have one
I'm just trying to have fun
The method that I mastered
It has always delivered . . .

But this is an exception
I'm enthralled by our caption
So when I smelled destruction
I made up a solution . . .

In just a mere split second
Shaft was purposely deepened
Unprepared with my gamble
That's how an idiot crumble . . .

I took the deed for granted
Really not what I wanted
But when the news was confirmed
I thought the love was affirmed . . .

I admit I'm not ready
Be a soon to be daddy
I'm really incapable
Put money in the table . . .

I witnessed life grow inside
Hopeful I could turn the tide
I await your every move
A short kick makes me in groove . . .

As your arrival reckons
My anxiety beckons
Cost is insurmountable
Ignored the improbable . . .

When he brought you out the door
I nearly dropped off the floor
Best day I can remember
Seeing my fruit so tender . . .

You became a driving force
Inspiration has a source
So proud to have a daughter
Happily ever after!

(or so we thought...)

ALLEVIATION

Stead-fast realization
To join a revolution
With my right fist raised and clenched
And my red shirt sweaty drenched . . .

Easy to point the culprit
They're the ones who always sit
And with the media discourse
Who would not be really forced? . . .

Poverty's romanticized
Government is criticized
What we call social justice
Have shares of grave injustice . . .

Some rely on charity
Or instant prosperity
Oppressive reality
Prevails the majority . . .

Building a society
With broad-based capacity
For their own wealth creation
Might as well save this nation . . .

Not just instill a culture
That would be worth a sculpture
An ethic of excellence
For our progress to commence . . .

Not by mere giving of fish
But teaching 'em how to fish
For 'em not just to survive
But in spite of all, to thrive . . .

Our fight against poverty
No longer a novelty
Count this as one of our wins
No Excuses Philippines!

NEVER RUDE JUST POLITELY HONEST

Upon earning my wings
Discovering these things
Amidst all of my rings
They still gave me those swings . . .

Always a combatant
Shots at me are rampant
Their uproar seems constant
My ears are resistant . . .

I know can't please 'em all
I don't have to stand tall
Naysayers want my fall
Sometimes, it took its toll . . .

Very misunderstood
Tried the best that I could
I was dissed in the hood
Don't need to knock on wood . . .

Beliefs are meant to clash
More if it involves cash
Relationships would crash
Everything would be trash . . .

Never want a faction
With every transaction
Need each one to function
Not send a reaction . . .

Well I would keep my stance
To the beat of the dance
Even if I'll lose fans
Been there not only once . . .

God is my true ally
With that I can not lie
Truth is I'm never rude
Just politely-honest dude!

FOR LACK OF THE BETTER WORD

Every day's a routine
If your mind is so keen
To register a win
Sure not a far-fetched sin . . .

Wake-up for toxic job
Just expecting a snob
Can't belong to the fab
Still can't pick-up the tab . . .

May be dressed to impress
To front the evil stress
That led mine into mess
As if they could care less . . .

Downing bottles with chaps
Able to tackle craps
And in making those stops
Plus keys to hurdle traps . . .

With the other species
It seemed kinda easy
Tried to keep me busy
Although they are sleazy . . .

Worked my way into 'em
Cool to hang-out with 'em
I danced all over 'em
Until I find a gem . . .

But after a good night
Why do I still feel tight?
Something is just not right
I have to see the light . . .

Even for a nice deed
It's not just what I need
That's a different seed
It clashes with my creed!

JUST ANOTHER STINT HERE

Year reached its curtain call
Just bouncing like a ball
Order was really tall
Took a stroll at the mall . . .

Season's festivity
Lots of activity
Glance at nativity
To ease sobriety . . .

Assuming a sighting
Considered as something
All this same old ranting
'Bout outcome of our thing . . .

Are we on the same ground?
But when I come around
Some commotion might bound
I evaded that mound . . .

I guess I should have known
Why I'm feeling so alone
Felt the chill in my bone
Now I'm just a drone . . .

This is your first yuletide
That I'm not at your side
Though time's really wide
Can still feel you inside . . .

God's glory and purpose
No one can just repulse
I dare not to oppose
Have to wait I suppose!

SLICK WITHOUT THE L

Just a mere novice then
Can't get the notion when
But when you heard his pen
They tip-toed at his den . . .

Have wandered from afar
There relaxed in a car
Tried to get hold that bar
Until you reached the star . . .

Like a band touring on
What reckless abandon
Never mind what's going on
C'mon let's get it on . . .

In an imperious curse
She acted like his nurse
Even shelled out her purse
But never seen her worse . . .

Willing to initiate
Able to make it straight
Became the consummate
Ignored excruciate . . .

Comfort in her own world
Well that is truly bold
Damn she can really fold
If you whispered the word . . .

Many four sided rooms
Can clearly hear the booms
The adrenalin zooms
Lifted 'em to their dooms . . .

All the while it seemed slick
As her eyes gently flick
Still failed to dig the trick
Slick without the L is sick!

NEVER AIM 2 LURE ANGST

Damn I used to hate you
Then I used to curse you
It's all because of you
There's nothing else but you . . .


But when the smoke was clear
Places I came to fear
Direction I was steered
Suddenly it felt weird . . .


Well now I understand
Was told by my fave band
Don't need to take a stand
She's just a grain of sand . . .


Life has lots to offer
I don't have to suffer
And just like your muffler
It sounds like a blooper . . .


Wanna give you credit
For all that was edit
If by chance you'll read it
I hope you would get it . . .


Shown all I've been missing
Never-ending cruising
Let me omit kissing
So tired of the hissing . . .


I wish you all the luck
Try to save every buck
Just take care of my rock
Or be a sitting duck!!

HIS PRINCESS

I heard about your plea
And things you'd love to see
Really interest me
How can I make you glee? . . .

Have the passion to fly
You can conquer the sky
With that gleam in your eye
Nothing's too good to try . . .

Came from not so good past
It happened very fast
Good thing it didn't last
Now we could have a blast . . .

Been with you only twice
Already mesmerized
You were so really nice
I felt immortalized . . .

A former beauty queen
Of course it's clearly seen
Able to cross your path
Will get rid of your wrath . . .

Knight in shining armor
I heard that's your clamor
Don't have to be his princess
Cuz I'll make you my princess!

UP AGAINST THE WALL

A state of confusion
With my intuition
Words so hard to mention
Regarding fruition . . .


I knew I was smitten
Here already written
Risks I have to gamble
Even if I'll stumble . . .


Just by flashing your smile
Sends my senses in mile
Endearing sense of charm
It couldn't cause no harm . . .


Can carry yourself well
Every person can tell
Never felt this unwell
Think I've already fell . . .


It could be a long shot
To be right where you're at
A huge disparity
To face reality . . .


Yearning to know you more
Really a lot in store
I've got nothing to hide
Can come on any side . . .


We have our own draw-back
Take monkeys off my back
Be really discouraged
My friend would be enraged!

EUPHEMISM

It's been 9 months, 6 days
Since we parted our ways
From the tribute it pays
Sans the good news it says . . .


Why did you have to leave?
Needs a trick up my sleeve
Got to internalize
For us to materialize . . .


Can not put into words
How to renew our cords
Hope we can all afford
For both sides to accord . . .


So I'm now the bad guy?
Failed to be the wise guy
Still asking the Lord why
I've to stumble this pry . . .


Strength I have to muster
Lair I have to enter
They just add more clutter
Let's bring back the luster . . .


Custody I won't fight
So as to shed some light
To have you in my sight
We knew I have the right . . .


About the child support
And the things it brings forth
For my little darling
I would do everything!

PHOSPHENES

Some reality check
In exposing thy speck
Have I surpassed the wreck
Or I'm still at the deck . . .


Just having my grand time
Lots of partners in crime
With regards to my rhyme
I have 'em all the time . . .


Direction is clueless
Don't wanna end up in mess
Like a wrong move in chess
Gotta be smart, I guess . . .


Grant a fitting mention
Chris the emo icon
His thought-provoking songs
Shreds my senses in throng . . .


And on Jordan's insights
How he triumphed his fights
Just like his aerial flights
That opened lots of lights . . .


Kept my juices flowing
Emulation on-going
With their style so cunning
And their minds so knowing!

THE WEEK THAT WAS ON LOVE:

Bella apologized for infidelity:


The entertainment world was sent abuzz by Kristen Stewart's admission that she had a short-lived affair with her 42 year old Snow White director, "Rupert Sanders". They were photographed sharing some intimate moments that quickly went viral. 


"Edward" the Vampire, upon learning this, quickly packed his things and vamoosed the property that they were sharing as a couple. He is now believed to be heading back into the woods nursing a broken heart. 


Then somewhere "Jacob" the werewolf gathered his chums to have a party! They'll drink to that!! Aaaawwwoooooo.... (This would have never happened with Cho Chang, Cedric!

Kevin Love is the official photographer of Team USA:


He is having a quite busy summer -- complaining! He has never been to the NBA playoffs in four seasons in the league, thus he reiterated his desire to the "Timberwolves" front office to make something happen now. They obliged, releasing some players that caused negative impact in their locker room. 


Now being a Team USA member for the Olympics, he is now grumbling for lack of playing time in the hard court. He may be one of only 3 legitimate big man for the team, but coaching staff is milking the Americans current speed, versatility & athleticism advantage to the hilt. 


The photo above may quite describe what Mr. Love's been into lately or lack there of, that kept him from languishing deep in their bench. Here, he is posting teammates photos on his Twitter account in a very uncompromising scenario - dozing off inside the plane! Even Coach K was not spared! There you go coach, punish him more!! ;)

London 2012 Olympics: Show some love!


The opening ceremonies paid tribute to the world's greatest athlete. As much as every Filipino love sports, there's no denying that we have tried our earnest to compete for all the marbles. But after 88 years of fielding our best athletes, we still have yet to step in the top of the podium to showcase that elusive GOLD. Heartbreak after heartbreak the frustration is somewhat taking its toll on our athletes and officials. 


Desperate but never losing hope, here's a list of Filipino entries that may finally end our gold medal drought. let's keep our fingers crossed on this one.

#GoTeamPhilippines

HAS LEFT A LOT TO BE DESIRED

With every second counts
This load just surely mounts
Why it should be daunting
Moments shared are haunting . . .


You're growing rapidly
I saw 'em vividly
Be careful with some pose
Still gotta fix that nose . . .


As your day approaches
Mem'ries never ceases
Wish I could buy something
Offer you anything . . .


Wond'ring what's your milk now
It's still that good 'ol cow?
See my limitation?
Where's your celebration? . . .


Presence I should've felt
It made me beg and knelt
Against someone that runs
I'm sticking with my guns . . .


I maybe down and lost
Cuz now I'm a mere host
With all these works I post
For you it's worth the cost!



Happy 3rd Birthday My one & only darling!

UNNOTICED HINT

She took him for granted
She's all he's ever wanted
The colors she painted
Yet, she also tainted . . .

She ran rings around him
Made a fool outta him
Cannot stick butts with him
Even belittled him . . .

What does this guy did to her?
Faced everything to please her
Set aside all to love her
He lives and breathes just for her . . .

Has been under her spell
Believed the things she tell
Promised to ring the bell
But it was a hard sell . . .

It was an instant click
Absence would make 'em sick
As the clock take its tick
There rose another pick . . .

You are each other's wings
Her heart just clearly sings
Why did you took some swings?
What 'bout these hard fought rings? . . .

All that he's sacrificed
To her it won't suffice
That aura he can't wield
The feelings she can't yield . . .

Clever-cover story
She seemed not to worry
This table has been turned
So quickly it has burned . . .

Life is temporary
Yours is ordinary
Be more or less wary
Before you end up sorry!!

THE TRUTH IN DECEPTION

Where is the location?
I need confirmation
My place in this world
Is it already sold? . . .

Kept dwelling on the past
Why they came very fast
Unable to make 'em last
I am left with a cast . . .

Been forced to a bad state
They have altered my fate
My chinks were there exposed
Loftiness was repulsed . . .

Have lost my shooting touch
Gotta stay in that couch
There was a clear mismatch
No need for a rematch . . .

Not been wise enough
That's why it's pretty rough
I've learned a neat lesson
Gotta strap my jeans on . . .

Yes you can't be the one
With you it can't be fun
Even if you feel you've won
I would still make a run!

TOP 10 WAYS FOR RAYMART TO ESCAPE THE TULFO BROS WRATH

After watching the "Thrilla in NAIA" video and the "Tulfo Brothers statement", I have listed ten things for "Mr. Raymart Santiago" to ponder upon. Read on:

10. Ask big brother "Randy Santiago" to serenade the Tulfo brothers so he can croon to their favorite songs. Just don't include his hit "Tuloy pa rin", he's there to entertain 'em & not tick 'em off again. I suggest him to remove his shades randomly!

9. Take their word for it, stay out of airports and do something that would be good for you. I know you wouldn't want to be involved in another scuffle, with the roles probably reversed this time 'round. Try a ferry ride!

8. Stay indoors and skip the routine malling on weekends or dinner at some posh restaurants. You never know when they will make an appearance. They've got eyes in the back of their heads!

7. Convince "Mother Lily" to purchase the rights to produce a movie based on their life story. Let brother "Rowell Santiago" handle the director duties so he can cast you as one of the villains. A big-screen project for everyone!

6. Take the cue from fellow "Kapuso" star "Cesar Montano" who has caught the "Tulfo" brothers' ire not a long time ago. Try to extract some tips on how he was able to pacify 'em and how he was able to make the issues between 'em subside. Please Buboy!

5. In exchange for his safety, he can gather some exclusive tips and information about notorious crooks and shenanigans including their operations. Then he can provide the brothers with leads, that may be vital in their expose. 100% credibility!

4. You're darn lucky if Senator "Miriam Defensor Santiago" would happen to be a long-lost relative. Only she is capable to counter the "Tulfo" brothers' "berserker  barrage". Make the connection now!

3. Force wifey "Claudine Barreto" to make amends with older sister Gretchen. This is a no brainer call. La Greta's partner is Mr. "Tony Boy Cojuangco", who just so happens to be "Pres. Noynoy's" second cousin. Blood is thicker than water!

2. Do the infamous "Pontius Pilate" deed. Put all the blame in your "ground and pound" companion. Make that "guy in the pink shirt" the ultimate instigator, the outlaw, the bad guy, or in other words, the fall guy. No one identifies him in the video anyway!

1. Make the big switch. It's time to defect to TV5 Network. Now you can pray and wait for the "MVP intervention" since you will be a "Kapatid" with the Tulfo brothers. As the saying goes: If you can't beat 'em, JOIN 'EM!!
