Hope you like the music. Have a great day ahead.

Eyes on me

I love you too!

Here is a text message from my beloved daughter.

Pa,

Kahit na one week na akong two hours a day lang ang tulog….

I love you, too!

It is simple yet powerful enough to inspire me. It gives me the inner strength I need everyday to keep me going and living (alone thousands of miles away from home).

It touches the soul, lifts the spirit and fills the heart with so much joy, the sweetest music that one hears and the most endearing of all.

I guess, the feeling is the same for most O.F.W.’s everywhere.

On My Own

Lea Salonga as Eponine in Les Miserables.

“I’m talking to myself and not to him…… but only on my own.“

Be crazy: It’s easy!

Yes, I wrote them right after the smokes of New Year 2008 cleared allowing the fresh and cool wind of Cavite to touch my happy face while I stared at those marvelous stars painted all over that great and wide canvass over our heads. It was a great feeling, knowing and being in a place you called home.

Yes, it feels good because I still do not need that much amount of zinc to help my brain remember those words and non-sense I scribbled on that piece of bond paper which I titled The List. It was a long list that contained everything that I said I would finish all at one time in the first two months of the year. It was my attempt of sort to set a world record. LOL

Here are some (or few) of them.

Finish writing that book! (i’ve got the balls you know…)

. . . not knowing that in the absence of these other colors, there wouldn’t be a profound beauty called rainbow.

Complete my sketch book and the Kartoon series.
Make a lot of money from stock investment!!!
Play tennis everyday.
Vacation, three times a year.
Work less.
Sleep more.
Be irresponsible.
Be crazy.
And the long list goes on.

I’ll take you back

Yes that’s for sure HE will take you back always, no matter what, whoever you are and whatever you have become. Believe me , I know.

Dear MS. President

Everything that happened and anything that is going to happen in our country, there is always someone out there who calls the shots and whatever actions or directions he or she takes, the whole nation is affected. Whether we die sad, we die happy, we live comfortably or we live miserably, our chosen leader without a doubt brings us somewhere.

For decades, we have seen many leaders come and go. These so-called leaders, past or present, has brought us from somewhere to nowhere and as always the condition in that nowhere often changes with time. And that is from bad to worst.

The latest development in the senate has proved once again that our politicians and our government officials are just out there for themselves and that their main concern is to protect their interests.

One thing is clear to me though. THEY NEED MORE MONEY TO create POVERTY, HARDSHIPS and DEATH to its people whom they say they want to serve.

I wish I could write an out of the box powerful open letter to our leaders and politicians. I wish I could make a song out of it and sing it too like Pink.

But I am not Pink! I am also unsure if I can still carry a tune without getting angry. So, I would just let Pink sing the song that she wrote for the President of her country.

Dear Ms. President, wherever you are, this is for you too and I hope you are listening.

This one goes to you.

This song goes to you. You needed some cookies and I have given you mine . Yes, I know that you are the cookie thief but I do not mind. I just have to understand that you are and accept you for what you are.

I wish that you, as this song says, “Just look into your heart my friend” and listen to it. “That will be the return to yourself. The return to innocence.“ Do not be afraid. “Be yourself don’t hide.”
