Veiled by the Spirit

The one veiled with the spirit.
Do these people seem immortal? Don't they make mistakes? What are they exactly?
To be veiled by the spirit, what must you possess?
Could you consider someone lost?
Were was the spirit to be exact?

Veiled by the spirit. Says the lot.
Veiled by the spirit I say not.
Foretold it was wrong. It was a glacier in the flame.
The mirror image in the drought.
The broken glass where it clot

Veiled by the spirit.
What a funny thing to say.
Nothing more than a mortal's eye
Veiled by the spirit.

I only had hoped it end in time.

Let the Music Take Control

Mula sa pakulo ni Maestro Sinto-Sintonado

Halos isang linggo na pala nung nailathala ang pakulong ito. Hindi ko alam pero nung nabasa ko yung mga tanong na inilatag ay tila ba nais ko ring makilahok dito. Pero nagdadalawang isip talaga ako dahil hindi naman ako kilala nung mga blog na nais kong pagbahagian. (Pero may mangilan ngilan naman ata.)

Ang Pinangarap kong Unibersidad

Etong linggong 'to, nagikot-ikot ako sa kalakhang Maynila. Pero sa totoo lang, dumalaw lang ako sa aking pinangarap na unibersidad. Hindi pa ako tapos sa kolehiyo dahil hanggang ngayon ay 4th Year Standing parin ako. Gaya noong una, akala ko matatapos narin ang lahat pagkatapos ng nakaraang taon. Na magiging isa narin ako sa matatawag na "propesyonal". Pero hindi parin ito nabigyang katuparan dahil hindi parin kami nakalulusot sa matitinik na mata ng aming pinakatatanging propesor.

One way Ticket

Numbness takes over

Feeling unconscious every second

Blinding flashbacks happening

A haunting voice starts calling

Shadows reaching out

Guiding me out of the light

Hopeless and lifeless

Wishin’ I was already breathless

No one truly knows

No one truly understands

That being lifeless means more

More than a rotting flesh

You’re never defeated

Till you accepted defeat

You’re never alone

Till you believed that you are

There is more than meets the eye

There is more that we still can’t see

That’s why death is not an option

For us to be free

Globally Competitive through DTS

If you’re not familiar with the term DTS, it means Dual Training System which put Filipino trainees to a school-industry environment and setup. As we all know, TESDA envisions itself as the leading partner in the development of the Filipino workforce and I myself am witnessing the effects they’ve brought to the community.

With the School-Industry Partnership, Filipinos were indeed globally competitive enough to bring glory not only for them but for the Filipino race as well. Being globally competitive is a dream that every nation desires and as an innovating country, this means a lot more than just work for our countrymen but this could also serve as bragging rights making a nation powerful enough to stand without the aid of other countries.

The School-Industry partnership helps on giving the trainees the experience and knowledge that they should learn before indulging on the trials and wickedness of the cold-hearted industries which doesn’t let their people grow in the process. Yes, industries need professionals who studied for many years and the fact couldn’t even deny that not everyone could gain access to that level and that’s where TESDA barges in. They have the power to lead the people to an outstanding level arming the people the wisdom and confidence to be competitive without minding the hindrances that might come their way. From basic information to the most important ones, from reliable equipments to reliable industry partnership, they guide and teach the needy to success.

DTS is not really new to the country. According to history, the German Model was first introduced in the Philippines during the 1980s. It has two training venues which clearly portrays the term “Dual Training System” and those are the school and the company/workshop. From there, the trainees will learn theories, work values and much more while letting them handle state of the art technologies that will provide them with great experience making them not only qualified but highly competitive as well when they graduate from the program.

As industries continue to grow and innovate, TESDA provides Filipinos with training programs that could help them throughout their lives. I’m not a product of the program but I sure do wish that I was. I’ve seen my friends finish their desired programs and to tell you honestly, wearing “I am a graduate from TESDA” helps them more than they’ve hoped for.

Broken Strings

(Image Credit to Original Uploader)

Tightly I held her close
My eyes blinded as my heart froze
Knowing the consequences of what I’ve done
That I who take her for granted will end up with none

Luckily she stay
Here in my heart and forever I pray
And as I thought that we’re close to perfection
We ended up with a perfect revision

Bestowed on us a feast of chaos
A dream turned nightmare
A love tired with nothing to lose
Cause now she’s strong enough
And I felt like my heart was cut loose

Silently I cried and wander
Reminiscing the past were I rule and hover
Though I believe that we’re still solemnly intact
Maybe now is the time to stand a firm act

It’s time to loosen up
Give her freedom for the war to stop
Slow and painful I might actually die
As long as there’s time for me to say “Hi”

Home

A place where people shout
A place where you’d want to go out
A place where they see only dirt
A place where all you can feel is hurt

Never became understanding
Continuous pain and bleeding
Mainly all about correcting
Regardless of what you’re feeling

At the end of the day you’d still be back
No matter where you are you’d still be here
Feeling the part of being locked
And all you are now is fear

Fear that is now consuming
Making lives so confusing
Misleading you to an eternity
An eternity of dying

This is something I created a few months ago. It’s just plain regrets and pain… Not something that I’m proud of. But still one of my creations.

Decisions

“Aim for her heart!” I plead
As the bow stretches while I continuously bleed
“Please aim at it well”, I chant
With all my hope I pray for that spectacular stunt

But my friend cupid unfortunately fail
Misses the target and leaves without a trail
Eagerly I waited for his safe return
Alas! I decided to bury his memories in an urn

Happiness and love were the things that I asked
But fate has its ways so I dare have a glance
And there I see a girl actually meant for me
So again I waited and keep track with this prophecy

This part of my destiny which I have created
Was truly a blessing and never out-dated
‘Cause I choose the path and I am to decide
Now I have my dream girl who never left my side

Walk through faith, not by sight
That should be the bottom line
For this love was God given
Recorded from zero until now to its prime

Here is my entry in a poem contest in a forum that I considered as my school and home. I wasn’t able to win the contest but still the one who won deserves it very well. He was known there by the name thadz. By the way, the theme was Cupid’s Bow.

Well, at least this is still one of my works… Enjoy!

The Cynical Life

This image is licensed under a Creative Commons
Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 License.

Unplanned yet worth taking
Miserably enjoying uncertainties
Loving everything from hatred
Preparing for the unknown entity

Aiming for the smallest
Yet begging for the largest
Circling outside a goal
Protecting a memory that they stole

There’s a fork in my path
It wasn’t even good and neither was it bad
I threw up a coin to choose
On which chapter shall I solemnly cruise

And so it came, the decision of luck
Slowly and slowly then it goes stuck!
What an irritating incident happened
Now I’m more confused on how should this end

Stuck in the middle with nothing to decide
Walked straight ahead through thy will I’d abide
Impaired vision, dimmed and broken
But I have You with my side alive and risen!

Single set of foot prints which I have recalled
And tells me now, that for me You tightly kept hold
Astray I might’ve been, but You didn’t let go
To a prodigal son who considered You as a foe

Sonnet 14

You are everything to me
Loving you is what I want
Leaving you is what I can’t
Oath to love you have I plead
Having you is a treasure I shall keep
Jeopardy it might cause me
Under your leaves I plan to grow
Obnoxious it may be
You’re still everything to me
Evening, morning or night
Vigorously I’ll do anything
Older and older, our bodies might get tired
Loving you means everything in life
I’ll always love you

Here is a sonnet I’ve created a couple of years ago that I just wanted to share.
Hope you like it.

Reverie

Got myself imprisoned in continuous bleeding
My mind stopped breathing
My heart refrain from thinking
But they didn’t stop me from loving

Loving a girl that understands me the most
Loving a girl that knows how I think
Loving a girl that makes me cry
Loving a girl that loves me for who am I

We had our ups and downs
Troubles, fear and arguments
Like a table which was round
We triumphed from our ailments

I wish I could have her back
The girl she was when I was a jerk
I wish I could have her back
The girl she was when I continuously lurk

We get our wishes for a reason
Guess it’s not yet the time
Hope she’d wait every season
For me to call her mine

I'll be transferring my works here from now on.. Hope you enjoy!

It Was So Painful

That’s What She Felt

It Was So Awful Wished

She Had Enough Health

Health That’ll Help Her Live

From The Struggles That I Had Give

Struggles That Made Her Miserable

Such Actions That I Am Able

Though I Love Her

I Can’t Do A Thing

I Made Her Suffer

The Only One I Could Bring

She Had A Lot Of Options

Yet She Choose Me

Pain Without Caution

How Glad Can I Be?

Being TaKen 4 GranTeD

That’s What They Call It

Expressing Love Through Pain

With Such Foolish Habits…

We all have our problems in life, some focus on love, in financial, some just can't focus on anything...

This one is another blast from the past...

Illusion

This one of my creations back when I was in college.. During my freshmen years to be exact..

Beneath My Bones
Is Where I Hide
A True Identity
That I Kept Inside

I Wear A Mask
So That They Can See
A Fake Identity
To Hide The Real Me

For They Can’t Understand
They Just Pretend That They Can
A Foolish Habit
Which For Them Was Fun

Look At My Illusion
Look At Him Well
Living In Darkness
Living In Hell

Thank You For Everything
For A Fake Happy Ending
With A Miserable Beginning
That Ends through Dying

Blocks

Block...

Around the street, a few corners from here.

The block...

That keeps my head thinking and still got nothing to steer.

The block...

That serves as the stepping stone for those who has bigger plans.

The block...

Which created the home for the homeless and alone.

The block...

With different colors serves as an inspiration.

The block

That keeps this writing an obsession..

Sometimes, its just so hard to think of something to write about.

But it's the same driving force that keeps me writing...

All of us has something that we want to share.
But for some reason, we were unable to do it right away and then what?
The next thing you knew, you forgot about it already.

And no matter how hard you try to retrieve the thought you once have, it doesn't stay as it is.

In my case, it gets worse every day as I try to regroup the thought.

To the writers out there,

keep writing. You do have subscribers.. Believe me..
