BIGO

Akala ko ako’y sa’yo
Akala ko ikaw ay akin
Akala ko minahal mo ako
Akala ko ikaw ang pag-ibig ko

Akala ko ang puso ko’y sa iyo
Akala ko iningatan mo
Ang damdaming para lamang sa’yo
Ang pag-ibig kong ito’y
Di pa nalilimot...oohhh...

Chorus 1:
Napawi ang mga luha sa aking mata
Napawi ang paghihirap ng puso ko
At kahit sandali ang ligayang ito
Hinding-hindi kita malilimutan
At kahit pa ika’y may iba na
Sana’y malaman mong minahal...
Minahal kita

Akala ko ay iba ka
Akala ko hindi lolokohin
Ang puso kong tapat sa iyo
Akala ko hindi ako mabibigo

Iniwan mo, pinagpalit sa iba
Akala ko’y magtatagal
Ang pag-ibig na inalay sa’yo
Kahit na nasasaktan
Hindi ka malimutan
(Repeat Chorus 1)

Bridge:
Magpakailanman di malilimutan
Ang katulad mo na pinagbuhusan ko ng panahon
Kahit na sinaktan mo ako

Chorus 2:
(Napawi ang mga luha sa aking mata
Napawi ang paghihirap ng puso ko)
Napawi ang mga luha sa aking mata
Napawi ang paghihirap ng puso ko
At kahit sandali ang ligayang ito
At kahit na hindi mo ako minahal
At kahit na nasasaktan
Sa puso ko’y nandito ka na
Magpakailanman

Coda:
At kahit na ako ay nasasaktan
Laging dala-dala ang kabiguan
Sa puso ko’y nandito ka na
Magpakailanman

Mahal Kita Mahal (Di Ko Masabi)

Di ko masabi ang aking pag-ibig
Mahirap pala kapag tumibok ang puso
Ano ang gagawin? Di ko maisip
Hayaan na lang kaya itago ito
Dahil ‘pag nalaman mo kung ano ang totoo
Baka ikaw ay magbago

Chorus:
Hindi ko masabi nilalaman nitong puso
Iniibig kita, pilit itong tinatago
Tuwing ika’y nakikita ay masaya ako
Kapag kapiling ka ay langit na ang mundo ko
Hindi alam kung ako ay matatanggap mo pa
Kapag inamin ko pag-ibig na nadarama
Kaya pakinggan mo na lang itong awit sa’yo
Dahil nais kong sabihing mahal kita mahal

Di ko masabi ang aking damdamin
Buti’t may awit na para sa iyo
Pakinggan ang tinig, ang awit ng puso
Di na itatago ngunit kinakabahan ako
Dahil ‘pag nalaman mo kung ano ang totoo
Baka ikaw ay magbago
(Repeat Chorus 2x)

Last Chorus (Modulation):
Hindi ko masabi nilalaman nitong puso
Iniibig kita, ayoko nang itago ‘to
Tuwing ika’y nakikita ay masaya ako
Kapag kapiling ka ay langit na ang mundo ko
Hindi alam kung ako ay matatanggap mo pa
Kapag inamin ko pag-ibig na nadarama
Kaya pakinggan mo na lang itong awit sa’yo
Dahil nais kong sabihing mahal kita... ooohhh...
Mahal kita mahal
Mahal kita mahal...

I’M STILL YOUR FRIEND

I know you’re far away from me tonight
I can’t pretend that I am just alright
But you’re giving me a chance to think of you
I always see your face and angel smile
Though I can’t see you from a thousand miles
I’m just thinking now that you are here with me
Here with me

Refrain:
And I’m (But still) missing you
And I (And still) want you here
‘Coz nobody can take your place

Chorus 1:
You’ll always be the one for me
The one who brought the light in my life
I can’t believe it’s happening
I’m all alone again this time
I believe that you’re not gone
And I say, I’m still your friend

You know that I still care for you
You know that I’m still here for you
Though you’re always doing things that disappoint me
That disappoint me
Repeat Refrain & Chorus 1

Bridge:
Together we stand
Together we pray
We’ll realize
That friendship never dies

Chorus 2:
You’ll always be the one for me
The one who brought the light in my life
Now I believe that you are near
You make me feel that I am alive
Oh my friend, you’re not gone
And I say, I’m still your friend

Coda:
Now I believe you’re always here
Forever you’re a friend of mine
And I say, I’m still your friend

ONLY A DREAM

You’re the one I couldn’t wait to see
You’re the one that I wanted to be with me
You’re the one who made my life complete
You’re the one who loved me and you’re always here by my side
These were all the things that I’ve seen
But when I woke up, I realized
It’s only a dream
But if dreaming would make me happy
I just wanna dream forever
If it’s the only way to love you
I don’t wanna wake up anymore
It’s only a dream

I held your hands and then I kissed your lips
It felt so warm, so gentle, I was in bliss
You gave your picture and you made me smile
And you said you loved me and you would never leave me alone
These were all the things that I’ve wished
And then I woke up and I realized
It’s only a dream
But it always brings me happiness
And it feels like I’m in heaven
But now I really want it to come true
‘Coz I want a real love from you
Because I love you... It’s only a dream

It’s only a dream
But if dreaming would make me happy
I just wanna dream forever
If it’s the only way to love you
I don’t wanna wake up anymore
I want to hold you (It’s only a dream)
(But if dreaming would make me happy)
I want to kiss you (I just wanna dream forever)
(If it’s the only way to love you
I don’t wanna wake up anymore)... Ohhhhh
I want to love you
I don’t wanna wake up anymore
But still it’s a dream
Oh, I want a real love from you
Because I love you
I love you

A New Beginning

1st of June 2013 – Thank You Lord for this wonderful day!!!

This day marks the return of my interest in essay writing. I really don’t know the reason why. It suddenly.... hmmmm.... came up after I took a bath an hour ago. It’s quite different now because I’m writing in English. I just want to express my potential using this language.

I started to love writing when I was a college student. I still remember those days when I used to answer essay tests with so much passion. I had long essays because I always thought that it would give me high grades... and I was right, my hard work bore fruits.

Now, I believe that writing becomes a part of my life. I cannot say that I am a good writer but I can proudly say that I’m better than the others (just what I think so). Writing is like a speech. You have to believe and have confidence to be able to deliver it right. Likewise, writing needs confidence and passion to be able to express one’s feelings in a realistic and sincere manner.

In this very moment, my mind has so much to say- wants to tell a story of my life, my experiences, successes and failures, wants to call someone’s attention, wants to connect to anyone who might appreciate its simplicity and complexity and wants to share knowledge and wisdom. This could be a beginning of something fruitful.
That’s it for now. I will write the next part soon.

A ROAD FOR US (The Endless Road)

Can YOU see ME?
Can YOU feel ME?
Could it be YOU who's looking at ME?
Could it be YOU who's waiting for ME?
Well, YOU barely knew what it is like to be ME.

Let's talk, Let's walk
Can YOU see a long road ahead?
Please put down this burden
Please let ME live with your hands unfold
Reaching my hands with a warm touch.

Can YOU be a friend?
Can YOU take a piece of ME with YOU?
Seems like I'm so quirky, so weak
I'm so desperate, so emotional, so deep
But please let ME be strong with your strength
Fill this empty cup with your presence.

Let your love shine upon ME
Let ME hear your voice over and over again
Let your hand touch my heart gently
Let ME be near to YOU
Let ME find ways to get there
In your world where everybody's aloof

Won't YOU ever run before this road?
Won't YOU ever leave a mark?
Let ME know if YOU will stay or YOU will go
But let's first talk about the future
Is it possible if we are apart?
Though the light still shines upon us.

I just want YOU to know that YOU inspire me so much
...THANK YOU...
Let us continue what we have started
...FOREVER...
This is a long road we are walking...
And this is the life that we are traveling
...ENDLESSLY...

Simula ng Pag-ibig

Inaawit ko ang pag-ibig ko
Na nadarama sa iyo
Ito ang simula ng aking pagsinta
Sana ay pakinggan mo ako

Ang awiting ito’y inaalay ko
Para lang sa’yo giliw ko
Di mo ba pansing nais makapiling
Ang nag-iisang tulad mo

Chorus:
Iniibig kang tunay
Asahan na habang buhay ay tayong dalawa
Pangakong ‘di magwawakas
Ngayon at bawat bukas at magpakailanman
Sa awit na ito ay ipadarama
Ang aking tunay na pagmamahal
Dahil ito ang simula

Ang aking tinig, ang aking himig
Ay tanging sa’yo mahal ko
Di mo ba alam na ikaw lamang
Ang pangarap ng puso ko
(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge:
Ito ang simula ng pag-ibig ko
Ito ang simula ng bagong buhay ko
Sana ay tanggapin mo ako
Sana ay mahalin mo ako
(Repeat Chorus)

The Silence

I’m a wonderful man yet I know I’m empty
I am despondent yet I am lively
I am not prominent but I am a leader
I’m not an actor but I’m a believer

No one cares for me but everyone accepts me
I hold them but no one holds me
No one knows my strength, they just know my weaknesses
Even though I’m weedy, there’s still something I possess

The life that I have is just a mere truth on earth
It’s a beautiful thing that emanates from the heavens’ breadth
It’s a fallible reality that everybody must endure
This mature mind is a gift and this life is so pure

I keep on moving with this bare foot
And I keep on climbing as long as I could
I was lost but I will stroll once again
I was losing everything but I’ll try to win the game

The sea of happiness and the ocean of memories
They dwell in me through this stillness
The motionless ambiance is shaking me
It seems to be friendly, it inspires me

I just want to write everything about me, yes I can
I’m a little of everything, yes I am
I just want to feel this sacred solitude, I want to be free
Having this blissful moment, it’s so fine, it’s surreal
