To our Syrian children



You heard the bells,
And soon
Your tiny hands and tiny chin
Met the ground

And then you said,
Words beyond your grasp
Uttered in generations and
Generations passed

Echoes in the city
Echoes of words

You cannot grasp

Your tiny lips
That makes your sky wide smile
You whisper words you cannot grasp

Then a sound
More of a roar
Much louder than the bells
The booms and blasts,
And bellows heard throughout

You cannot grasp
And soon the air
Is thin, so thin
You cannot breathe
Your lungs they burn
                A colored dream
                Of red and ash
But you’re wide awake
                You’re standing there

You wail
You cry
Your eyes are swollen
Those big blue piercing eyes
Are bloodshot now

And one by one
No, by tens perhaps
Bodies drop
                On dirt and dust

And as you twitch
And lie with them
Those you played with
On rare calm morns

Their tiny hand you held
Their tiny lips you sang with

You twitched
And twitched
And twitched with them
                As if a dance

And when the pain
Cannot be bore
When you cry
But with tears no more
                The air escaped one final time
                You cannot hear the wails, you cannot feel the sore

You cannot hear no more
The words you cannot grasp

And they who killed you
They’ll fall on ground again
And say the words you haven’t grasped
                They have heard those words too much perhaps
                But they did not want to really grasped



Your blood was the price

Of blood owed by generations passed

You fail. You start again



When the sunrise decides to cover itself with monsoon clouds
And the birds of morning decides to sleep forever,
You should only light up a cigarette
And take that deep breath
And smile
That you see a day in a different palette

When the movie doesn’t end as you wished it to be
And when you hear the answers that you’re not looking for
You should throw your fist up the sky
To know that you’re not dreaming
That you’re living and still hoping

And when the castle crumbles, that one you built with blood and sleepless nights
You should close your eyes
And dream of a new one
With better walls and taller towers

And you should open your eyes
And learn from this failure

For the world will never turn for you
Nor the tides will part at your command

But thru your hands
And thru eyes
You hope, you dream, you fail
And you start again

Ang shota ko

Chubby ang shota ko
pero hot daddy ang dating

My bigote ang shota ko
nakakiliti...


Mahilig bumili ng Entertainment Magzine si shota
at halos 1/4 lang sa mga nandun ang kilala kong artista


OC ang shota ko
gusto nya lagi akong nagsislippers pag lumalabas ng kwarto
kasi yung aso ni landlady hindi house broken

Nakakatawa ang shota ko
minsan hihiga kami sa kama.. magkukwentuhan tapos tatawa lang ng tatawa
madalas dahil sa mababaw na usapan


Maalaga ang shota ko
hindi kakain yan hanggang hindi ako magising
kahit maging lunch na yung breakfast nya
para sabay kami


Understanding ang shota ko
minsan magrerequest ako na tawagan nya ko para magising
kasi mantika ako matulog
tapos ang record nya ay 86 missed calls...
(sorry)

Sweet ang shota ko
minsan ihahatid nya ako to work
kahit na alam kong sobrang galit sya sa traffic



Mahal ako ng shota ko
sa panahon na kailangan ko sya
lagi syang nandyan

para iyakan
para makipagtawanan
para tumulong
para magmahal


Mahal ako ng shota ko
at mahal na mahal ko din sya....


Labyu shota happy 16th! RAWR!
