The Path of the Hopeless Romantic

To strum the night of emotions,

The melodies must synchronize,

My mind, my heart lost their cautions,

When I looked at your eyes.

A charm of whisper in my ear,

Broken words when about to speak,

Still terrified, what’s my fear?

I’m feeling so desperate, I’m feeling so weak.

Victory Sound

The road is long and short with thorns on the ground,

I tried to keep on walking as my heart started to pound,

My feet wanted to give up so I fell and dropped down,

Now I have to crawl all my way to hear my victory sound.

Am I on the right track or am I exactly lost?

Maybe I should rethink, maybe I should pause,

But time is running, now I have to chase it too,

‘Cause I’ve already wasted too much, and there’s still so much to do.

Oh, I think I could see my star, but I could not reach it,

It seems so hopeless, ‘cause it’s so far away,

But isn’t it enough with my actions and with my creed,

To feel such wonder that I have craved every day.

Is there still a chance, or should I go back now?

Or should I just simply give up, shoot my head with a gun,

I still want to reach the end, but the question is how,

Maybe there is still a hope, but maybe there is none.

Confession of an Emo

I’m sitting here all alone,

Listening to music about guns, razors and broken hearts,

While waiting and staring at my phone,

You haven’t called; all the stars and the sun became dark.

Could I write a song?

Just like the ones I’m listening to,

I say I can,

Since I know that I can’t have you.

It hurts to know all about the truth,

And the facts that they said,

That I’m a fool for being crazy for you,

Now it returns; the wounds that once bled.

I don’t know how to end this,

But I hope you’ll give me your kiss,

I’m just right here, can’t you see?

‘Cause all I want is for you to be happy with me.

Internship, Please

One requirement for us to graduate is to complete our on-the-job training or OJT. We have to complete a three-hundred hour internship or job and submit paperwork based on the company that we will be working at.

Currently, some of my block mates are already having their internship and others, including myself, aren’t yet successful in finding one. Time is running, I know that, but it’s not like I’m not trying what I could to obtain an internship. I’m doing what I could do while I take care of other important stuff. This actually is a bit of a pressure for me.

The Tragedy of the Lucky Entity

Crying late at night as the full moon sings,

We are still alive, but never did exist,

As the world becomes hollow, while we swim with our wings,

To the ocean of tomorrow, straight from the wish list.

Smile with your frown, now look what you’ve done,

It’s so beautiful; it’s the glow of your nightmare,

Just a waste of time, don’t walk, now run,

Heading to the right way, but went there, elsewhere.

Why I Hate Morning Classes

It’s the first day of classes for our last semester in college today, and there is a super typhoon making its way through Philippines, Typhoon Yolanda. It’s a signal no. 2 and all levels from pre-school to high school plus some universities and colleges are already suspended, but not our school. Not University of Santo Tomas.

Being Bitter is Not a Sin (It's Salt)

I will watch you tear yourself apart,

When I say, kiss my cheek for silver,

I will watch you hide yourself in the dark,

As you make tears of river.

This is my weapon, and you are the target,

My bow and arrow, my gun and bullet,

It’ll make me angry, no regret,

It’ll make me happy, wanna bet?

And Her Name is...

Oh remember when I asked, what gift that you desire,

I can’t think of anything so I just made this rhyme,

If you don’t like it, it’s ok, let’s just burn it in the fire,

But tell me if you do, so I know I didn’t waste time.

I’ll try to make this as best as I can,

So please read this ‘til it ends,

And if you’re wondering why all of this I’ve done,

It’s 'cause you’ve turned eighteen and you’re my friend.

Your Love

All I can see is your beautiful face,

For every time that I close my eyes,

On my lips I can taste,

All your sweet and stunning smiles.

Even if I’m awake, I’m dreaming of you,

Staying in my mind, shining so bright,

But how about for a change you dream of me too,

And let me know so I can have a sweet good night.

A Dream with You

I wanna go to sleep now and forever,

‘Cause that’s the only place that we’re together.

Lying on my bed, eyes shut for hours,

Going to paradise, the night is now ours.

The view I see is elegant for me,

I hope this slumber won’t end so quickly.

You’re dancing with me, I’m dancing with you,

I only wish that you’re feeling this too.

But the alarm will ring and stop this dream,

To exit paradise and end with the lies.

My Pokémon Team

Many of us dreamed that the world of Pokémon was real and we could have the chance to catch and train our own Pokémons. I am one of those dreamers, though I know that catching Pokémons is one of the things that are very impossible to happen. But if Pokémons are real, here is my own personal Pokémon team:
