Forget....

forgot her name 

forgot her faces 

forgot her kiss

Her warm embrace 

forget the love thaT i once knew 

remember that she has someone new  

forget her when I played our song 

Remember when she cried all night long 

forget how close we once were

Remember she had chosen him 

forget things she used to say 

remember she gone away

forget the way she held me tight 

remember she's with me tonight 

forget the time that went so fast

forget the love that move so fast

love-is just an empty word,until you havesomeone who can give you it's definition

We are 6 in the family including me and my 2 brothers and my only sister.We live in Novaliches when i was a kid. I have many playmates and good friends there. We play a lot when i was a kid. When my Parents went to Qatar, me and my siblings were being taken cared of my aunt in Marilao. We stayed there for a year.We studied at Jesus is Lord Colleges Foundation. I enjoyed studying at that school even though that school is very strict.When i was in High-school me and my family went to Qatar and stayed there for few years. Life in Qatar is fun. I met a lot of new friends and known new places. After i graduated High-school, I went back to the Philippines because college in Qatar is not very well. When i arrived in the Philippines, my uncle, my cousin and my eldest brother fetch me at the airport. It was raining that time. After that i went straight to my Grandparent's house in Manila. When i was in Manila, my aunt helped me to enroll inn my college school which is Adamson University. Studying in Adamson is a little hard but its alright. I only lasted a single semester in Adamson ^_^ . Then i enrolled in INFORMATICS CALOOCAN!!!! nyhahahahahahah!!!!! Being a student in Informatics is fun.. Funny classmates and Good teachers. Now its our Finals in our First Semester. Hopefully all of us will pass the First Semester :) amen.

Only One

Broken this fragile thing now

And I can't, I can't pick up the pieces

And I've thrown my words all around

But I can't, I can't give you a reason

Made my mistakes, let you down

And I can't, I can't hold on for too long

Ran my whole life in the ground

And I can't, I can't get up when you're gone

Here I go so dishonestly

Leave a note for you my only one

And I know you can see right through me

So let me go and you will find someone

Here I go, scream my lungs out and try to get to you

You are my only one

I let go, but there's just no one that gets me like you

You are my only one..

Circle of Life

Our life is a big circle. We just rotate in it as the time passes by. But for some people they say that their life is in a triangle. They are always at the bottom which means they are suffering from many problems and on the top tip of the triangle are those rich people that can afford to buy all the things that they would want to buy. Poor people and rich people has a long way of differences and a little chance

 of similarities. Rich people 

spend money whenever they 

want but those poor people 

work their way just to earn

 money for them to have food

 on that day.

Rich people have all the things but they are not contented yet but if a poor child got a present for someone, that child will be shedding tears because of happiness. If you are complaining about your life now. Try looking at them.. But all of them, no matter rich or poor. All of them have the right to live and to have respect to themselves and to one another. No one can take that from them.

Life Behind Drugs

Drug users and Pushers are scattered everywhere in the Philippines.Can't the law do something about this. Many children has been addicted to drugs which is resulting for them to destroy their life and future. Illegal drugs wont do anything good to them. That's why i asked my self. "Where is the law?". Instead of studying at school, working for their families and having a good steady life. They chose to destroy their own future.

Endless Poverty

Philippines is a 3rd world country which means our country is suffering from poverty. Most politicians are very interested when it comes on corruption. Instead of developing the country and decreasing the poverty, those selfish politicians in the government chose to be rich for themselves. Instead of helping the poor and giving job to the unemployed citizens of the Philippines, they managed to break the law and steal the funds which is for the development of the country. Because of the poverty, many poor people are suffering hunger and their basic needs which leads them to a choice where they will be forced to disobey the law. they steal so that they can manage to live through the day and will always be until the government will realize that those poor people needs their attention and their help. Many under aged children are scattered on the streets ignoring the danger waiting for them just to beg alms. Many children are forced to use drugs just to avoid their hunger. Many workers have been working their entire lives but still, they haven't achieve the thing they called success. Many college graduates are forced to work abroad just to support their family in the country. All of those is because of POVERTY. I just hope that the new government officials elected this year can make a change and help us make this country better. Corruption is the main reason why this is happening to us. Philippines is a great country which is very fun of Natural Resources and Population. If corruption does not exist on our country and we all work hard together, all of us can make this a better country.
