He who advances
Without seeking
Fame,
Who retreats
Without escaping
Blame,
He whose one aim is
To protect his people
And serve his lord,
This man is
A Jewel of the Realm.

He regards his tropps
As his children,
And they will go with him
Into the deepest ravine.
He regards them
As his loved ones,
And they will stand by him
Unto death.

If he is generous,
But cannot command,
If he is affectionate
But cannot give orders,
If he is chaotic
And cannok keep order,
Then his men
Will be like
Spoiled children,
And useless.

If we know that our own troops
Are capable of attacking
But fail to see
That the enemy
Is not vulnerable,
We have only
Half of victory.

If we know that the enemy
Is vulnerable
But fail to see
That our own troops
Are incapable of attacking,
We have only
Half of victory.

If we know that the enemy
Is vulnerable
And know that our own troops
Are capable of attacking,
But fail to see
That the terrain
Is unfit for attack,
We still have only
Half of victory.

The Wise Warrior,
When he moves,
Is never confused;
When he acts,
Is never at a loss.

So it is said:
"Know the enemy,
Know yourself,
And victory
Is never in doubt,
Not in a hundred battles."

Know Heaven,
Know Earth,
And your victory
is complete.

Thy goals set up for this important year.
Nevertheless, its make or break or tear!
Motivation nor inspiration fail..
Sadness  and emptiness make me more frail!
However, its does not mean all ends here.
As I close my eyes, and feel I'll still go there..
I stare at a face which gives such thrill!
Suddenly, I felt satisfying fill!
Sooner or later, all I need to do..
Despite high moutains and across valleys..
Happiness prevails.

Ikaw ay isang Lourdesian,

Trembling hands scares me,
Such cold winds without snow, hail..
Can’t sleep very tight!

Teary eyes running..
Cool breeze shivering my spine!
Can’t stretch out so right!

Breathing so helpless,
Never thought going outdoors.
Can’t get out easy!

Shaking all through out.
Even not staying in high cliff,
Can’t be calm like this!

Despite I love cold..
Never thought I’ll like all day,
Can’t stand this shaking!

I want to stay put,
Not like stuck in a ice block.
Can’t think of living..

Suddenly, I craved..
A need of something that burns.
Can’t stand without heat!

At last, despite those painful hours and days.

Moments of hurt, pains and endless suffering..

Times that I was lost with numerous sigh!

I endured..

I thought I was fine, and ready to go..

As my mind goes, but my body still low..

I felt so useless, and a burden too.

I endured..

A mountain of work left behind, untouched.

Anxiety creeping in thy night, non-stop!

I'm losing hope of getting back on top..

I endured..

The love and support I got seems endless..

Helping hand coming both left and right!

Gives me relief and courage nonetheless.

I love it..

Now, although I'm still in recovery..

Picking up again from the very start..

Hoping a bright new hours and days ahead.

I endured..

I love it!

In a lonely place, I find peace, order..
Such emptiness surrounds inside and out.
Defining silence whirls into my ears,
my eyes see darkness that raise my strong fears.
Questions building up about such presence.
No answers found after searching essence.

In this abyss, maybe I can lift up!
Worries, frustrations, anger and despair.
A dark side of me, beaten to a pulp.
Degree of separation excites me.
A ray of light shines after detachment.
Opened my eyes, still in a lonely place..

Thy life pure of mysteries, whether it's for better or worse..
Cannot easily comprehend such events after it happened.
I wonder, why God let it happen? 
Despite such obedience and surrender to his will, events come and go.

Sometimes, I even challenged him to make things great or worst. 
But the greater mystery of his will, is God moves things to make everything in place.
Even I have reservations, or whirlwind of feelings going through..
In the end, what matters most is God's will.

Will of love, to nourish us  in times of trouble and despair!
Will of hope, to strengthen us after great failure!
Will of faith, to believe that God will make things brand new!
These are gifts that sometimes we don't cherish.

Gifts that were given at the start of our lives.
It is our duty to make them understand as we get older or enlighthen in this life. 
Events, decisions and circumstances will unravel this will, thy great will..
Sometimes, we feel unworthy, or ashamed due to our weaknesses. 

However, thy God still loves us by sending his fullness of love, his son, Jesus.
With the fullness of the Spirit, he delivered what has been planned long before..
God's will to be felt to all of us, and Jesus sacrificed his life to redeem us from damnation.

I truly now understand after all these things happened and revealed.
It is only the matter of choice between how we make things better or worse..
Thy goals can't be done alone, or with a help from each other..
We start, by getting inspiration, a source of strength from the highest above.

With a promise of eternal great salvation to all!

Walang katabi sa jeep papuntang trabaho,
tumitingin sa labas para lahat ay maglaho..
Ako'y nag-iisa.

Ako lang ang kumakain, malayo sa iba.
Sa dako roon tumitingin nawa'y masaya sila..
Ako'y nag-iisa.

Habang naglalakad sa mataong lugar, 
iba'y masaya, iba naman nagmamadali o balisa, habang ako'y tulala.
Ako'y nag-iisa.

Sa aking mesa ako'y nagtratrabaho ng mabuti,
samantala ang mga katabi ko ay nag-uusap, kwentuhan, intrigahan, at kaguluhan walang katapusan hanggang uwian..
Ako'y nag-iisa.

Nang ako'y nawalan, nasaktan o kahit simpleng kahinaan,
mahirap humagilap ng tulong galing sa taong malapit sa 'yo. Dahil kanya kanya na ang kinagigiliwan.
Ako'y nag-iisa.

Kuwarto'y tahimik, kay sarap ipikit ang mata at maging malaya..
Walang gulo, problema at kahit delubyo, dahil ako'y tahimik, at nagpakalma.
Ako'y nag-iisa.

Nais ko man di mag-isa sa buhay, mailap na mahanap ang pag-ibig,
bagama't ako'y di nawawalan ng pag-asa, ngunit pansamantala, kailangan maging masaya nang walang kasama..
Ako'y nag-iisa.

Kung dumating ang panahon kahit ako'y may pamilya na, at naging matagumpay sa buhay,
Lahat ng ito, kung di ngayon o bukas, pwede maglaho, sa pagharap sa maykapal, nawa'y ako mas maligaya na nagawa ko lahat ng tama sa tulong niya kahit..
Ako'y nag-iisa.

Her subtle eyes makes me stare more,
As I obscure myself from any other lore..
Focusing to her, with such lightness and happiness.
Her simplicity captivates me,  attracts awareness..

Thy we have same likeness of dark themes, aspects..
We have same such quiet, yet serious look and prospects,
Although she has fewer words to say or speak but louder actions.
Attracts my whole being into her kind of silent motions..

Despite that less time we spent together, I've never crave this much.
Just to be with her, walking, talking, listening music together, as such.
More than that, the feeling now burning inside, I've felt it again..
I can sense that vision of being with her, brings so much gain.

Gain in my life..
Gain to love...

Imagine life!

No worries, no fights, no wars..
No disagreements, no hatred, no bitterness..
No crap, no bad soap operas, no pale TV shows..
No bad actors, no bad music artist, no criminals..

No fun variety shows, no sitcoms, no stupidity..
No bad movies, no crazy artists, no blogging..
No concerts, no tabloids, no foreign movies..

No competition, no freedom of speech, no liberty..
No blogging, no expression, no smoking..
No laws, no justice, no mercy..

No happiness, no sadness, no hurting..
No direction, no inspiration, no faith..
No imagination, no sensiblity, no interaction..
No joy, no pain, no regrets..

I can't imagine life with that, can you?

Pag-ibig, kay sarap kumabig!

Laging hinahanap, inaasam..

Labis ang aking pagiisa,

nawa'y mahanap ko ang pag-ibig.

 

Pag-ibig ay sadyang mailap.

Bagama't ako'y nagsisikap,

sadyang mapait ang kapalaran..

Pag-asa, di kailan mawala.

 

Pag-ibig, kay tamis mahagkan!

Gising sa umaga, ika'y tuwina..

Babaeng nagbibigay mukha,

puso ng tunay na pag-ibig.

 

Ang iyong mga nakakatunaw na titig,

Ang iyong mga magaan na haplos,

Ang iyong mga salita na nagbibigay liwanag,

Ang iyong mga nakakabighani na kilos..

Lahat na ito, pakiramdam ko'y buhay ay langit na.

Walang ikakatakot pa, kahit ano pa man, walang hanggan!

 

Pag-ibig na ikaw matamo.

Pangako'y magmamahal ng labis,

di magaalingangan wagas.

Bawa't sandali, dapat punuin!

Pangalawa sa Maykapal, gaya niya..

Ibigay ang lubos na Pag-ibig!

Sometimes I thought, each of them happen some in my lifetime...
