About love

How do you know that you are loved?

I know that I’m in love; once I’m in love I’m always happy and inspired. Seeing the girl that I love is always the highlight of my day. If I am in love, I never truly get tired of her. If I am in love every time I see her, she can make my day better. Once I fell in love with her, her needs became much more important than my own.

Can love be measured?

No, for me love can’t be measure because love is unlimited stage of our life but you can share the love by sharing their feeling each other, better share the feeling then you think about measurement of love. Love is bigger than the ocean. Love is infinity.

My Future

My Future

In the future my dreams in life will come true. I would become one of the top successful agriculturist and one of the famous businessman in agriculture. I would have a decent job.  Having a happy family, with my wife and my two kids with their grandparents and their aunties and uncle and cousins. We have a nice house living in a simple and contented life. I could give their wants and their needs. We could travel anywhere we want to go. I would help the needy persons, especially the people in the mountains and those who haven’t any house to call their home. With the help of our Almighty God.

What I expect from the President in the Philippines

I expect that the new President would have a good governance. To focus on the welfare of the people of the Philippines. To improve the country, more investments, more job opportunities, less poverty and no corruption. To have a successful and peaceful country.

“ change is coming “ that all what we saw in social media.

Filipino Poems

BITUIN AT PANGANORIN

Ako’y nagsapanganorin upang ikaw’y makausap
At sa pisngi niyong langit ang dilim ko’y inilatag;
Ang nais ko’y matapakan ka ng sapot kong mga ulap
At nang yaong pagsikat mo’y ako lang ang makamalas:

Bituin kang sakdal gandang hatinggabi kung sumilang
Na Buwan ang iyong ina at ang ama’y yaong Araw,
Ang Araw na iyong ama nang malubog sa kanluran
Ay nagsabi sa palad kong huwag kitang lalapitan.

Ako nama’y sumang-ayon dapwat ako’y Panganorin
Na talagang hatinggabi kung lumapit sa Bituin,
Kaya ikaw, Bituin ko’y nasuyo ko’t naging akin.

Liwanag mo at dilim ko’y magdamag ding naghalikan,
Ngunit tayo’y inumaga! …  Akong dilim ay naparam
At natakot sa ama mong nandidilat sa silangan!

                  ANG AKING INA              

Gaya rin ng iba, ang ina kong giliw
Ay inang mayumi’t lubhang maramdamin,
Inang hindi yuko sa mga hilahil,
Inang mapagbata at siya kong virgen.

Mayrong isang Diyos na kinikilala,
May isang dakilang pananampalataya,
Sa kanya ang madla’y kulay ng umaga,
Ang galit ay awa’t sa poot ay tawa.

Siya ang dakilang Batas sa tahanan,
Kamay na masipag, Kampana ng buhay,
Susi ng pag-ibig na kagalanggalang.

Sa kanya ang lahat ay pawang mabuti,
Ang dukha’t mayaman ay kapuripuri
Palibhasa’y inang may puso’t pagkasi.

ANG MGA LABI MO 

Ang mg̃a labi mo ay dalawang lang̃it,
Lang̃it-na di bughaw, ni lang̃it ng̃ hapis,
Labi ng̃ bulaklak na kapwa ninibig
Labing mababang̃o, sariwa't malinis.

Labi ng̃ sampagang may pait at awa,
Tipunan ng̃ pulót, tamis at biyaya,
Sisidlang ang lama'y kabang̃uhang pawa,
Pook na tipanan ng̃ hamog at diwa.

Tagapamalita ng̃ lihim ng̃ puso,
May oo at hindi, may tutol at samo,
May buhay at palad, may tula't pagsuyo.

Ang̃ mg̃a labi mo'y may pulót na tang̃i
Kung iyan ang aking pagkaing palagi'y
Talo ko ang lahat, talo ko ang Hari.

LUHA

Luha ay pumapatak,kapag ika’y nasasaktan
Maaari din naming n ito’y sa sobrang galak,
At kapag nakita ng kapwa na hirang
Kasunod na nito Ang paglingang ganap.

Agad magtatanong kung ano ang nangyari?
May problema ka ba? O May umaapi?
Maaari din naman na may sumasakit
O hindi matiis ang bigat ng dibdib .

Pero mas masarap na ika’y lumuha
Nang dahil sa tuwa at sobrang galak
Dahil sa biyaya na iyong natanggap
Kaya’ t sa pasalama’t ang luha’y pumatak.

Ngunit mas masarap na ika’y lumuha
At ito’y pahirin ng mahal mong sinta
Na nasa iyong tabi, Kasabay ang sabing,
HINDI KA NA LULUHA PANG MULI.

NGITI
Ang ngiti sa iyong labi ay huwag mong iwawaglit,
Pagkat ito sa iba’y kapayapaan ang hatid.
Huwag hahayaang sa iba’y ipagkait
Kahit saang dako ikaw makarating.

Ang biloy sa iyong pisngi,kapag ika’y nakangiti
Para kang inosenteng munting sanggol
Na sa duyan naka imbi
Hayaan mo lamang habang lumalaki
At sa buhay mo ay maging bahagi.

Reaction: Out of  five poems I choose NGITI . The poem NGITI says that don't loss your smile in your lips. Smile make us strong and make us calm in every way. Smiling have been shown to lessen pain. Smile release endorphin's that lift our moods, but many of these act as natural painkillers too.
