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!

REHASH

Still,
Just locked-up in a shell
Still,
Have no answers to tell . . .

Still,
Beaming with potential
Still,
Receiving a facial . . .

Still,
Facing deprivation
Still,
Fishing information . . .

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

Still,
Yet to be determined
Still,
Efforts are undermined . . .

Still,
Paling in comparison
Still,
Waiting for a person . . .

Still,
Channeling strength to hang-on
Still,
A new chapter to live on!

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!

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

#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!
