Traveling the road to manila

There must be something about traveling the road to manila. That - I don't know! I wouldn't wanna spend too much time looking for the reason. I just feel good whenever I travel this route. I feel relieved. I feel stress-free. I always seem to enjoy though I've traveled this road for so many times already. The excitement I feel is still the same. I always have a smile in my heart.

They say traveling is good and the best part of it is getting lost. Why? Well for me, its because when you're lost, you become less concerned with things that don't really matter. You only focus on things you really need. You start seeing the simplicity on things.  And that's where you start learning. Learning is good. It will never fail you. It will always carry you on the right track even though you've got it from the wrong one.

For me,  traveling is the best leisurely way of learning! You get to enjoy the beauty of nature, see different places, buildings. Different faces and even different races! Just the interaction of you to other people's good. Its a chance given to you to be friendly and eventually make friends. These are the things I mostly experience whenever I travel the road to manila. I enjoy the road because everyone seems to be so friendly. Here, I see the most famous filipino trait which is hospitality. Every filipino is indeed born amazingly hospitable and I love the thought of this whole thing. Just makes me so proud to be one. And if you ever wanted to experience these as well, don't even try using your car. Ride on a public bus or public jeepney. Its where all people are. Good and bad. Middle class men, less fortunate ones, - everyone! You'll see every single thing if you ever concentrate on it. Try the road along University Belt. You'll see different known schools and different students that would make you reflect yourself. Oh I look like that. Oh I'm exactly like her. Oh I don't like the way she dresses. Oh we do the same in our school! If you have lived in the south like me, you'll notice the difference. Students' norms along university belt is different from that of the south's. Why? I don't know. Its different the way I see it. Go and see for yourself so you would understand. :)

This travel, I can say, is the simplest yet awesome for I feel a smile in my heart. And I could do it all over again if I want to. Happiness could be found in a person's heart. Happiness is priceless! And best lessons are indeed learned outside a four-corner room called classroom :)

Without you

Serious hours of longing

Lonely days of hoping

Stressful weeks of thinking

When the hell are you coming?

Your absence makes me sick

Your presence makes me well

I sit and wait for you

As I think if you’ll be here

Searching for you is my habit

Cultivating you in my mind is my hobby

Being with you is my obsession

Oh and you are my addiction

Like a paper

My heart is tore

Without your presence

My life’s a bore

I get this feeling

Every time that you’re missing

Disoriented and annoyed

That’s what I am while waiting

Day is dark and boring

When you’re gone and missing

The day you’ll be here

I’ll smile up to ear. J

love struck :)

Holy morning I saw you

You walk through the morning dew

Although your silhouette explains you

I can’t understand why its you

Every day I see you

Now and then I seek for you

Every moment I see you

I’d like to stop the clock

Just to be with you

Your warm greeting

In its simplest form

Makes a way to make my day

Your ridiculous smile

Draws a curve in my face

Sends my feelings

In a different phase

Now I’m here

Sitting next to you

I do nothing

But stare at you

Time’s ticking

As I sit with you

I feel that

There’s nobody in this world

But ME and YOU. J

Cliques

Another day of having you

Another year since I’ve known you

Another moment be treasured

As time goes by, I’ll stand by you

We laugh and we cry

Like sun and clouds

And like moon and stars

Our ways won’t part

As moon rises up

The sunlight fades

Our friendship will continue to rise

As the bad stories slowly fade

Maybe good times will last

As well as the bad

But we’ll stick till last

As bid goodbye to the bad

Unlike perishable goods

Our friendship won’t perish

Instead I will forever

Truly cherish

You are a blessing

From heavens above

Praise the Creator

For these blessings I have. J

The Departed One

I remember those lovely days

When your sweet smile strikes my face

Your soft voice caress my young mind

As you tell stories that lightens up my eyes.

We were always sitting at the big window bar

At the right side of your old, big, yellow house

The road isn’t that far and your garden is just beside

And from this angle, we see a lot

Busy people, buzzing bees

Singing flowers and dancing trees

These moments I can’t forget

When you were here and we were complete

We always laugh like there’s no tomorrow

Chat like we wouldn’t have the chance again

We always inspire other people

our bond is simply exceptional.

They see smiles and laughter;

oh those big curves on our faces,

they all thought it was priceless.

But then came the time that you had to leave

for you weren’t destined to forever live

for a while we had lost those big curves on our faces

and instead we had those tear drops and time wasted

but then the heaven’s so good

guided and led us back to those happy days

we never forget to share your stories

in that way, we feel you’re still with us.

Though you’re far from here, I can feel

Your love is here and is very near

You never failed to make me feel alone

Oh how I wish you won’t disappear.

We’re strong with the idea of having you

We stand still because of what you had taught us

We are thankful for having you as our “amah”

We are thankful to God for He never let us to be weak without you.

I will forever love you. We will forever do.

Don’t worry, we feel your love from the other side of the universe

We feel you. And we miss you.

Everything we had will forever be treasured

Just like the trees that forever will be with their roots.
