Burdado

when i was young, my Mom & Dad constantly remind me that Tattoos are for bad people, yung tipong pang sanggano sa kanto o taong galing sa kulungan. Mga taong iiwasan mo kung nasa katinuan ka ng pag-iisip o bubungguin mo kung wala ka nang balak mabuhay sa mundo. Pag may makakasakay ako dati sa jeep na burdado, I will keep an eye on him thinking na he might robe me or worst the whole jeep.. ganyan mentality ko...

until..

sorry mom & dad..
cant help it.

para sayo, inay

Para sa'yo, inay.

ngayong araw na to,
natatangi para sa isang taong katulad mo.
walang tatalo sa iyong kalinga,
halik, yakap at pagsuyo.

ikaw na dahilan,
sa paglakad ko sa mundong ito.
dahil sa iyong walang sawang pagsuporta
at higit sa lahat, sa iyong pagmamahal.

wala na kong hahanapin pa,
ikaw lang at wala nang iba.
taas noo kong ipagmamalaki sa buong mundo,
ikaw ang nag-iisang ina ko.

happy birthday mom!!!
i love you so much!!!

Ode to a great man

It’s really hard and heart breaking
To see you go
But it’s the reality that we all must face
For only God has the reason.

I still remember my childhood

The days when we always have fun and play

In my youthful eyes,

I see that you really care.

Time have passed and it feels like forever
Since the time we both talked,
I never noticed that you were always there
You didn’t see that I grew brave.

Now its time to say goodbye,
I felt tears rolling down my face
You are the best man for me, you will always be.
You are the best father that God gave me.

tol for you.

A man needs a woman—

Someone to care, share, and trust.
A man needs a woman—
With whom he can believe.
A man needs a woman—
For him to have a reason to live.
A man needs a woman—
So two can enjoy oneness.
A man needs a woman—
The same as a woman needs a man.
