We speak because we like to express sentiments
More often we say what's in our heart and mind
Whether it's mirth in sadness or to communicate
Words from our mouth should come as delicate.
It's always wise to choose the words we speak
It can hurt a poor soul even uplift who is meek
"Do not eat your words," as we say often
Literally not but in caution words need be mentioned.
You have crappy thoughts words come out sloppy
So that we say where the mind goes words follow
Words out of excitement come out insensitively
I prefer or rather find safe aping the cow's bellow.
Words can make or break us as it has been said
Words increase our joy as we speak what's right
In moments of disappointment one can't be deaf
As sadness tend to make one say what will bite.
The power of words can transform a human being
When we realize understand what words are conveying
We are able to choose think and speak what's right
Doubt oppression get dispelled nothing will be uptight.
A positive outlook in life with positive words from God
Each morning is a new day of renewal it can't be bad
Health of body health of soul derived from healthy words
Taught spoken by our Creator make us worthy abodes.

With winter time many hie away to enjoy the sun
Travel to tropical countries on their list for fun
Asia and its countries are deemed good choices
To the Philippines many have shared their voices.
Our Pearl of the Orient has many places to offer
Lovely beaches from north to south to wander
Islands to jump in motorized "bancas" will beckon
Experience the dive see beautiful corals such come on.
The strong waves of China Sea and Pacific Ocean
Surfing paradise of Siargao San Juan in La Union
Bets too are Potipot, San Fabian Caramoan Island
There is Batanes the northernmost shoreland.
Trekking tbe mountains Sagada is immortal
Even the Banaue Rice Terraces a site colossal
Bathe in the waterfalls of Pahangog or Limunsudan
In the innermost forest exotic flora fauna you hunt.
If you want to splurge go to El Nido in Palawan
Amanpulo another beach resort well endowed
Feeling nostalgic the churches of Iloilo and Vigan
Ancient structures you'd marvel decades still standing.
Many seafoods to your delight in markets you'll find
If you are adventurous fishing in the sea a gold mine
Lobsters squids scuttle fishes tortoises and dolphins
Exploring the ocean floor they are what you see often.
The abundance of tropical fruits in orchards many
Mangoes in Guimaras lanzones in Camiguin or Paete
Now that the plantita era is a craze flowering gardens
You can visit Atok Benguet see all the lovely maidens.
Not only the sights are amazing so with its people
We are the most hospitable caring loving persons
Almost everyone speak English well or "carabao" to call
You will not get lost to find your way you ask anyone.
You hear the presence of crooks but it's everywhere
Philippines is not the only country or place to find them
There are scammers admittedly but even in facebook
These kinds abound there is no perfect place or nook.
Am not trying to be patriotic but yes am marketing
The Philippines is one tropical country so inviting
I blog about it here per chance foreign friends may
Consider or get induced to see Philippines some day.

WHAT IS THIS EVOLUTION

Am terribly amazed at how behave these days
From someone raised conservatively I marvel the ways
The take up relationship and its consequences
As early on their years they have them in dozens.
My time made me concentrate on studies never on boys
Taboo to associate with the opposite my options no voice
There has been private schools exclusively for each genders
Got schooled in this fashion and exclusivity unlike the others.
My values haven't changed since but most are now obsolete
Courtship done outside I see them come home in fleet
Common to see them as young enjoying activities in pairs
Holding hands strolling in malls seemed no parents to fear.
There's even this instance a would bring home his girl
Because the tummy has grown but the lassie still in curls
Naive and innocent how can she nurture and rear a baby
It's ever a wonder what future is expected for their family.
Was watching GOFUNDME episodes seeking poor to help
Several in my country most are without ways to keep
Sustaining the family a great problem that is resulting
In marrying young with a weak knowledge in surviving.
With the use of gadgets the young have lost their focus
Attached to their games together you see them in caucus
Say who'd be first to respond when you talk or call them
Unmindful? so cut their connection switch off the modem.
A teacher friend once complained about online learning
Answers to test all provided if studes are researching
The internet and Mr. Google is there to provide the help
So what is the problem is it only Mobile Legend who yelps.
With rising cashless society afraid but I'd admit am lost
My cellphone and card are all i need to spend some cost
I belong to the old school I could sure be very impatient
Groping how payment is done I can get real impertinent.
None is the same from what's old as replaced by this new
Soon people will stop controlling they get controlled in lieu
What's happening? Has evolution done and caused this
But what thrill can the new bring when the old stays as is.

GETTING SENTIMENTAL

I often indulge on thinking the yesteryears of my life
Now that I have turned a senior who's past many strifes
Am not a perfect person but I try as hard to be useful
More than what is expected of in order to be successful.
With marriage a big flop the were my sole consolation
Finding what's best as mother and breadwinner in combination
There were days when I cried and almost gave up striving
But I would see my so cooperative and comforting.
I was this nervous wreak I saw nothing was being accomplished
From one business to another gains made what's brandished
I said to myself am the sole channel to provide for tomorrow
There ain't stopping if I'd reach what's gonna be a good flow.
The days went by with thinking what would happen next
I certainly can't do this alone but I decided nothing complex
Had to tell the I needed help to keep our lives going
The eldest sons told t'was time for them to be working.
Tearful to see my sons at 18 and 17 serving as food crew
They should be enjoying youth in work not as glued
Trace of diligence and determination have given heights
To what they wanted proven this made good their plights.
The younger sons took care of the house and also helped
One so young at 13 the fishes he bought and bred
On summer days during school furlough he traded
More exotic species for the monies that he had saved.
Now everyone full grown and with their own families
Glad to see they raised their without agonies
They have all been successful with their family lives
Their kind of rearing showed me great responsibilities.
When I think of those years my heart's full of sharing
My have all shown good character in parenting
Despite how poorly wrongly their parent's marriage went
How we struggled it mattered not how we lived and spent.

TRAVEL PLANS ANYONE

When I was 8 years old because I excelled
I was fielded join a declamation contest
The poem was about a family of twelve
I won this prize t'was a book of beautiful sites
Countries shown in photos tho' black and white
It was my first time to see Niagara Falls so wide
Its expanse strong e'er flow of currents or tides
A marvel so promise myself one day I'll visit
It was truly sad to have had a visa denied
But still continued to have this earnest
Desire to travel all the way to Buffalo where
Niagara Falls is and my oldest sibling retired
When I came to Canada I knew the border
To reach USA would somehow be possible
Niagara Falls is then nearer so is my brother
I've scheduled this travel come summer 2020
As I have had arrived Canada winter of 2019
Alas even before summer came covid invaded
The fight against covid worldwide so formidable
Could no longer go with the travel ban enforced
Niagara Falls continued to be a long time dream
My years are dwindling I still am hoping like you
Travel to countries visiting sites until I can still do
I added to my dream this companion to be with
No fun doing it alone to share admire beauties
Where nature can be so dauntingly outstanding
I will surely wait for this one item in my bucket list.

ARE WE CAPABLE

Many speak of true love some even dying for it
Emotions get so strong sanity is deemed lost
Remember Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet
Family feud caused their deaths none else to boost.
We talk of unconditional love without doubts
It's mine to give all boundless even timeless
The death of Ali Mcgraw's character in love story
Had this early end of dying due to a fatal malady.
A love sublime is often wirtten also spoken in poetry
"How do I love thee" was Robert Browning's testimony
Their love forbidden by Elizabeth's father undermined
Capacity of both eloping and marrying at their prime.
With a love that is matched how long will love last
Some say there is forever others believe unto dust
It will exit but will exist and remain into the next
That's love of Jesus for our Virgin Mary so blessed.
Will pronouncing love to someone else be as dynamic
Or will it remain as ethereal as long as one mimics
As humans how defined can we speak about or fall in love
I know of a love this who was sent by God above.

HARK THE SEASON

Season starts when the "ber" months get ushered
Christmas carols are played daily it can be heard
Adorning their homes with the festive atmosphere
Shopping started by many for the gifts under the fir.
Even with covid the spirit doesn't get dampened
Malls display best its different Christmas scenes
Street lights glitter with its colorful flickering bulbs
Star-shaped lanterns mixed in philippine-made sculpts.
People still milled around wholesalers like Divisoria
Searching for the cheapest most practical buys
Adding more to past year's Christmas paraphernalia
Who's to say people will not spend for their supplies.
The much awaited nine day novena starts your dawn
Stalls selling "bibingka" "puto bumbong" you'd see
Before or after the novena mass dispel your yawn
Youngsters are the avid church goers including me.
Now all is enjoined to attend the "simbang gabi" on tv
We mull over the pandemic with our traditions deprived
Sad as it is there is no stopping whatever it maybe
Celebrating our Saviour's day for decades it's been conceived.
I will surely miss the celebration again this year
Am this far away to celebrate the longest Christmas
I'll see flurries falling covering the trees with my tears
It's never the same with our traditions though its past.

WHAT THE PANDEMIC TAUGHT ME
|
Posted:Dec 9, 2020 9:52 am
Last Updated:Dec 10, 2020 2:15 pm 8618 Views
|
With my age time is always of great importance
Even whilst younger my hours in life will tell me
Time's running fast work be done sans reluctance
There is more to achieve than have this dilly dally.
Being a single mom time will always mean double
I need to double my efforts have these double jobs
Ever seeking to be busy in having fun I've been a snob
With five mouths to feed I don't engage in tittle tattle.
I am already past the stage of doubling everything
Retirement life has asked me to ease and slow down
Needless to hie time sails I see my rewards unending
Alas! Time flew swiftly the pandemic battles the ground.
There is no young nor old we all become its prey
Not only woes for the sick it gets even the strong
Lives lost the infected keeps mounting day by day
One's plans and times now can't seem to be known.
Projection's impossible for what's long term everywhere
Plans are cut short or gets delayed most even deferred
We learn to live by the moment with what is there
Rely on ourselves to survive praying not to get interred.
The pandemic made us realized that any government
Can only do so much to help its people it's not limitless
We open our eyes fighting a great discouragement
It's our choice to pursue what is survival of the fittest.
No control is effective if people persist not to believe
Discipline should be paramount to stem any spread
Contamination fires rapidly it cannot just be a peeve
Even with a trusted vaccine ailment is still a dread.
I reconciled with my Creator the hour may be on hand
Without HIM we're nothing but a dust driven by the wind
He creates destroys even to the point HE will rescind
In constant prayer I've asked reprieve but HIS will be done.

VLOGGING

YouTubers have made monies aplenty out of vlogging
It's about recording a blog of any topic using video
Everything and anything can be shown although
Contents must be relevant inspiring and interesting.
Most have shown their callings in life be it a farmer
A fisherman, a chef, a housewife, a house developer
You name it you get well informed building a house
Harvesting rice fields or even catching a field mouse.
Celebrities have been offering their house tours
Their travels made in many countries like brochures
Every day lives of Filipinas married to foreigners
Are showcased sharing knowledge without fetters.
Many years celebrities have made their lives private
In vlogging you discover how their homes are made
What they buy where they go even shop in rebates
It's a day to day recount of what's usually their trade.
Daily routines of a farmer and fisherman rolled into one
At dawn break they start into the fields or into the sea
Coming home with harvests at times even empty-handed
The hardships and threats to their lives you will often see.
Saving for your dream house to build one day
You're shown how works are made without delay
The contractors will always peg their good price
If you've done your homework you see a better rise.
Some television series are seen only if you pay
Vloggers who use these shows as their contents
Give its subscribers free rides to switch and play
Done with a short story in giving their comments.
Some do tutorials so you need to stay tuned
For each hour or episode you finish till the end
Means money to the channel owner giving a boon
Many choose to vlog than work 8 hours to spend.
It does equate to easy earnings in many thousands
But whatever you do becomes public everyone sees
Nothing is held secret everything you do for shows
You need to command their attention for the monies.
The brighter side of doing the constant vlogging
YouTubers welcome and share their given earnings
They send help to victims of calamaties or mishaps
Even give sustenance to people at their own instance.

WRITING AN EXPRESSION
|
Posted:Dec 5, 2020 9:00 am
Last Updated:Dec 9, 2020 2:30 pm 8750 Views

what prompts one to_ write i ask
when questioned we'd surely reply
express it in a document like a task
that makes it concrete you can't deny.
you feel at the top of your emotions
feelings conveyed into words sans actions
whether it gets inspired or forced into anger
words are phrased most written in candor.
writing is not a talent it is a skill to talk
what you can't say whisper even in balk
do it in writing it's this heart speaking
in tact or diplomacy safely you're treading.
no one listens accuses or throws a doubt
writing a rebuttal may relieve or clear a clout
reports updates are often done in writing
even stories of life written as resounding.
I am here i blog out of my love for writing
nothing to sell my life just active in keeping
this good relays for moral lessons to_ pick
not to_ boast but validate what's true so think.
in your retirement years you need mind
to be thinking writing actively and remind
those dormant brain cells have to_ act
otherwise you lose your power to_redact
