Then, aloud I sing

Now inside, the quiet springs

Shadows creep

But not for long

Embrace it now

Pray for tomorrow

Changes come

Changes go

It's constant

A must

Get rough times

Aim bright ones

Changes come

Changes go...

Mother

My only prayer right at this moment is to become a better mother. Just like my Mama who sacrifices a lot - her time, energy, understanding and patience - to take care of my children, so I can go to work everyday. Thank you Mama, I love you more than you'll ever know. I wouldn't know what to do without you. Sorry that because of me you feel tired and a lot more. Just like my Nanay who was able to take care of us when she was still stronger. Despite her pain she continues to look at us with that caring eyes. She's tired but we know she listens as she always does. We know she loves us as she always does. Just like my mother-in-law, who gently awaits our visit to her home. Who always checks on us and the children. Who listens attentively to our stories and understands why we cannot come as often as before. Despite the distance we know she loves us dearly and prays for us early in the morning. Just like my titas, cousins and friends. With the moments spent with them, I learned more and more about motherhood. And just like the Mother of God, Mama Mary..who inspires me of her gentleness and strength. Her faith and love. So my prayer is really to be a better mother...just like them. Happy Mother's Day to all mothers and mother figures! May the good Lord bless and keep you always! #ThoughtsWhileIntheBus #lablab #MothersDay

A mother hurts when she's left with no chance to give to her child what they have been longing for...

I’m the CEO of a company of two tireless bodies and a lovey hubby, our business is called The Family.

In this photo, I’m sporting a sleepless mother look...casual yet elegant and charming in its own silly way  :)

My girls and I love to take funny shots

In this photo we’re sporting a chipmunks look :)

WACKY

A happy smile; a toothless grin

A silly face, laughters in between

Go for no poker, no frowning either

Wacky shots are fun things to remember!

Try Independence

I can but you did

You did so forget it

I could but you’d rather

You’d rather, that’s no stagger

I’ll be a yes but you’re a nay

I’m beat, nothing more to say

When I was still studying I wished to graduate right away I wanted to start earning for myself Wanted to help my family Before graduation, everything was planned I will work in this industry I will be in this profession Somehow I got what I wanted I worked in a setting that I dreamt of I thought that's it...but it wasn't There were more wants..incomplete feelings More hunger not satisfied I'm starting to drown in all these cravings Slowly I packed my bag..I'm heading back I'm not going to be a slave anymore Buying, wanting, craving..that's not me Life as I knew it seems very simple yet complicated Now I live one day at a time...breathing, living No plans, no demands, I am the boss now

Field Trip

I've been up and about since the morning Prepping up and pretty much just rushing Running, flying towards the bus stop Oh shoot! I've no snack and extra top! Forget it, I had to go quickly Kids can't wait, they'll squash me Hurry, hurry so much to do Swimming, playing then there's still the zoo! Swim and play; we ran all day The zoo now feels soooo clichè "Yes and no and please don't my dear" Energy floating, from there to here Awesome day! the kiddoes admit The photos we took tell much of it Few minutes 'til home time, yes, it's done! Field trip's over, got to chill now everyone!

The Mask

Smiling, looking happy Laughing, the sound is oh so jolly Merrily, dear merrily Just how sweet you lie to me Your eyes covered in glitters And all the color that shimmers Your lips so red they glimmer But these can't hide your shivers Darling dear do confide That happiness is not inside Looking deeply into those eyes I see the loneliness you set aside Take off the mask, time to bare No more hiding, just cry and share I will hold you though you're scared I'll help your soul be unimpaired

Our Night Alone

Come, Oh come my sweet delight Let the moon shine so bright The night has come, it's dark again Let not our waiting be in vain Come, Oh come my radiant love Let whispers echo from above This night has come for us to see The warmth that's waiting to be set free Come, Oh come into loving arms The flowers bloom its pure romance This night is yours and mine alone Hold me tight, my dear come home

Task Avoidance Issues

I will if I can Don't ask me again I will but I won't 'Cause my head says don't I will if I can Don't want to try again If mistakes are maid Then who could've paid I will if I can Don't force me again My hands won't follow My tongue I've swallowed I will if I can How long should I say That I won't though I can I am not moving today

Your Girl

A glance from a distance Hoping for a chance That one day you will notice This girl you shouldn't miss A smile, a wave A handshake I will brave If you will just give me A twinkling, promising gaze One step, two steps forward One step, two steps back Now standing next to you Everything is in perfect view Hand in mine Hearts beating in time Eye to eye, moving closer This indeed is cloud nine! Space has definitely vanished A love at last has flourished What else could I wish for When this girl you've finally noticed

A Poem For My Girls

A Child to her Mom: My words are limited I can't explain I am afraid Frightened and scared That I may not hold you Touch or cuddle you I am afraid You won't see me through A Mom to her Child: My dear, my dear Wipe your fear I may be faraway But I am near Hand on your chest That's where you will feel My love for you Is forever real If you don't see me If eyes are cloudy Speak so softly My guardian angel is with thee

It's Me...Just Me

I hate a chatter, she does not stop I hate that she feels she's always on top I hate a cuddler, she's always around To hold me close 'til I almost drown I hate a moaner, whining and grumbling Such a crybaby, her croc tears flooding I hate the silent- the hushed, the noiseless Showered with tranquility, untroubled and careless Needless to say I hate the others I see When I am left with nothing but me *created yesterday, 25th March, at the library *edited today, 26th March, at home

Lost in You

I see just black, where are you? All these flowers changing hue Dreams finally broken, nothing's new Instantly I'm left out of the blue Pink elephants walking with me Ears ringing I tried to flee The weight of the chains on my heel I can do no more but squeal D'you feel that burning feeling? Someone' s tears are flooding And that voice is ever howling Tic-toc-tic-toc...now I'm dying Why..oh just why The thought lingers, No you cannot deny Hurt, shattered, now in flames I was captured, you're to blame!

[zoleze]

I Am Me...Not You!

I run; not walk Voice rather loud than soft I am me...not you I wiggle, can't settle Restless, wand'ring elsewhere I am me...not you I think of faraway places I see different faces This is being me...not being you I may not look but I know you You'd think that I don't need you But this 'ME' wants to be loved just like YOU!

Dear Child

A heart so pure ; A love sincere

A smile so bright; A laughter clear.

A mind that wonders into magical lands

Some people choose not to understand.

Don't hold back your tears dear little one

I am here, don't you frown.

An embrace to keep you safe and warm

My child, I'll always be your Mom.
