I Shall Return


Nobela Join The Club

ngumiti kahit na napipilitan
kahit pa sinasadya
mo akong masaktan paminsan-minsan
bawat sandali na lang
tulad mo ba akong nahihirapan
lalo't naiisip ka
di ko na kaya pa na kalimutan
bawat sandali na lang

at aalis, magbabalik
at uuliting sabihin
mamahalin ka't sambitin
kahit muling masaktan
sa pag-alis
ako'y magbabalik
sana naman


sa isang marikit na alaala
pangitahing kay ganda
sana nga'y pagbigyan
na ng tadhana
bawat sandali na lang
sumabay sa biglang pagkabahala
lumabis sa pagtataka
tunay na pagsintang di alintana
bawat sandali na lang

at aalis, magbabalik
at uuliting sabihin
mamahalin ka't sambitin
kahit muling masaktan
sa pag-alis
ako'y magbabalik
sana naman

Minsan Pa...

(an old painting of mine... minsan pa...)

Minsan Pa by Join the Club

Hindi ko mawasto,
ang kilos ko
ang paghakbang hindi magaan
at madalas,
mahilang aking isipan,
tila hibang

Ngayong lumulubha bigla-bigla …
sumagi sa isipan
bukas …makalawa…
wala ka na… lungkot ba’y maiibsan?!


huwag mong pilitin,
na limutin
ang damdaming minsan pa…
huwag sabihin
na hindi kayang lampasan…
huwag mong sabihin sa sarili
kung hindi na tunay pa …
panalangin, sana lang may minsan pa

Hindi ko matanto ang pag-ibig mo!
pang-agam ay di madaan
sa ‘di pangkaraniwan na
na pag-ibig na tulad nito .


Malilipasan ng panahon
ang pag-ibig nating nakahon
kahit akma satin ang isa’t-isa

pahintulutan mo ba ako?
na mawala sa iyo ng lubos?
ibabalik ba ang libong halik na hatid?

‘Wag mong pilitin na limutin
ang damdaming minsan pa
‘wag sabihin na di kayang lampasan
‘wag mong sabihin sa sarili
kung hindi na tunay pa
panalanging sana lang ma’y
minsan pa…

YLSC Openhouse 2006


it's been a while since i last made some artsy ek-ek design. just plugging our church's Youth Life Student Center Openhouse. our church is a student center during weekdays, catering to students especially in the U-belt area. they can play games (like table tennis, chess, badminton, pictionary, uno, monopoly, and other board games), study, meet and chat with friends, or just hang out. plus, it's FREE. go and have a visit, it's just in Morayta, beside McDonald's (w/c is under renovation), near FEU. :)

Sandwich Day


i declare June 14 as my Sandwich Day. it was a sandwich-filled day literally speaking. had lunch with my co-creatives Pat and Joni at Hotshots. reliving the pearl drive days, i treated myself with one Crispy Burger Melt. back to work, brainstorm here and there. with chef jeff bringing the merienda, i tried the Ham and Egg sandwich for a change. we stayed late in the office until 12AM, and my dinner was McDo's cheeseburger. arriving home, my mom bought double-longanisa burger. all sandwiches were good, and was a good variety. but it was a heavy wheat-filled day.

plus, since i havent updated my blog lately, hmm... some updates... wala naman. watched Benchwarmers and Cars. both were good enough for my movie tickets which were given free.
i might as well plug Toycon in Megatrade Hall tomorrow, June 17-18. great! half of my month's salary going to toys... finally a treat. weeeee
