Starry, Starry Night v2


Starry, starry night, to whom it shines so bright,
For travelers and dreamers, a celestial sight,
Guiding those in need, high up in the sky,
A beacon of hope when life's questions make us sigh.

Lights from the blue, they're tales of the past,
Millions of years for their journey to last,
A glimpse of history, can it ever truly last?
A ghost of time's echo, fading so fast.

Stars that blink, illusions in the air,
Dust suspended, their secrets rare,
In the midst of this beautiful, starry, starry night,
Life and death dance, in the soft moonlight.

Amidst the boundless canvas of the night,
Where stars shine bright, their guiding light,
I ponder life’s tapestry, woven with threads,
Of sadness, longing, where both life and death treads.

In this starry, starry night, I gaze above,
Seeking answers and solace, a message of love,
The past may linger, distant and vast,
Yet hope still shines, transcending the past.

Stars that twinkle in the midnight’s embrace,
Illusions of time and dust in space,
Yet their beauty, a reminder, steadfast and clear,
That life’s journey carries both joy and tears.

In the starry, starry night, we find our way,
Amidst the darkness, we’ll see the light of day,
In sadness and longing, we’ll learn to cope,
For life keeps moving forward, giving us hope.

Midnight Serenade


Just like my favorite music, you're on repeat

A melody that I can't get over with

Playing like a symphony that lifts me.

That brings me to a state of glee.


You, oo ikaw, are the reasons.

Why I make my midnight, afternoons.

While hovering above the moon

Thinking that can we be, soon?


I see your smile; it glows like the stars.

That shine is so bright, it can break the bars.

Of my heart that's been longing for love

For someone like you, a gift from above


My heart skips a beat, whenever you're near

I can't help but blush and hide in fear.

Of expressing how much you mean to me

And how much I want you to be with me.


But for now, I'll let the music play.

And let my heart sing what I cannot say.

Hoping that someday, you'll feel the same.

And we'll dance together in this love game.


As the music fades and the night draws near

My heart aches with longing, and my eyes filled with tears.

For I cannot imagine a life without you

My heart and my soul, both belong to you.


So, I'll keep on dreaming, and hoping for the day.

When you'll take my hand, and never let it stray.

Together we'll walk on this journey of love

With music as our guide, to the heavens above.


With each note of the music, my heart beats

A sweet melody, like a gentle breeze

And I imagine you, here with me.

In this midnight serenade, just you and me


We'll dance under the moon, in its silver light.

With the stars as our witnesses, shining so bright.

Lost in the music, we'll move as one.

Until the night fades, and a new day has begun.

Inspiring Others Through Adversity

Life can be challenging, but it is through these difficulties that we can find our inner strength and the power to inspire others. It is a well-known fact that our actions, both positive and negative, have a significant impact on the people around us. Thus, it is important to strive to be a source of inspiration and encouragement to those around us, especially in tough times.

When we face adversity, we have two options: we can give up or we can fight. It is in these moments that we must summon all our inner strength and determination to overcome the obstacles in our path. By persevering through adversity and overcoming our challenges, we not only become stronger but also inspire others to do the same.

For instance, when we see someone who has overcome a significant hardship, such as a health challenge, a career setback, or a personal loss, we are often inspired by their resilience and determination. Their courage and strength in the face of adversity are contagious, and it serves as a reminder that we too can overcome our difficulties.

When we are strong and resilient, we send a powerful message to those around us, especially to those who may be struggling. Our strength and determination serve as a source of inspiration and encouragement, showing others that they too can overcome their challenges. Our example can be a beacon of hope and a source of motivation for others to keep going, even when the road ahead seems difficult.

By being strong and persevering through adversity, we not only become better versions of ourselves, but we also have the power to inspire and encourage others. So, be strong, for you never know who you are inspiring. Your strength and determination may be just the encouragement someone else needs to keep going, even in the toughest of times.

Crashing Waves


The sea crashes against the shore,
A constant reminder of what came before.,
Memories of a life now lost,
A self I yearn to regain at any cost.

The waves crash in with such force
A reflection of inner turmoil and remorse.
The person that I used to be,
Now, just a distant memory.

I long to feel the salt on my skin,
To embrace the freedom that once within,
But the crashing waves remind me,
Of a past, that will forever be.

I stand here on the shore,
Watching the waves come and go,
Wondering what happened to the person
That whom, I used to know.

The waves crash in with such power,
Reminding me of my every hour,
Of laughter and love, hope and dreams,
Of all that once seemed.

But now, they only bring me pain,
The person I was before is not the same,
Lost in a sea of confusion and doubt,
I scream and shout.

Why did I let myself slip away?
Why did I lose sight of who I wanted to be?
But the crashing waves remind me,
That I still have the chance to set myself free.

So I stand here on the shore,
Longing for what came before,
But determined to find,
The person I left behind.

The sea may crash, and the winds may howl,
But I will not let my spirit cower,
For the crashing waves may bring me pain,
But they also help the opportunity to regain.

End Game

 screenshot from GMA Drama


Fidel's love for Klay was pure and true,
It changed him, made him see anew,
He learned to care not just for himself,
But also, for his homeland, to help.

With Klay by his side, he found his way,
To make a better world, come what may,
She showed him how to be selfless and kind,
And to leave behind a love that's somewhat, blind.

But as the day approached for her to go,
Fidel felt his heartbeat slow,
The thought of losing her by his side,
Filled him with an overwhelming tide.

He knew that she had her world to live,
But the love he had for her, he couldn't give,
He knew that he would miss her so, dearly,
And the thought of them being apart, eerie.

But Fidel knew that love knows no bounds,
Even in the world of the novel, where his truth surrounds,
So, he holds on tight for his hope,
That one day they'll be together, in this world they'll cope.

Let Go, Trust, Breathe


Life is full of surprises and uncertainty, and it can be easy to get caught up in the need to have everything planned out and under control. However, sometimes the best things in life happen when we let go of our need for control and trust in the unknown.

When we have a plan, we often limit ourselves to a certain set of possibilities and opportunities. We may miss out on something even better because we were too focused on sticking to our plan. By letting go of the need for a plan, we open ourselves up to new possibilities and experiences that we may have never considered before.

Another benefit of not having a plan is that it allows us to be more present in the moment. When we are caught up in planning and thinking about the future, we often miss out on the beauty and joy that is happening right now. By letting go of our need for control, we can fully embrace the present moment and truly experience the beauty of life.

But letting go of control is not easy. It requires trust in ourselves and the world around us. Trust that we will be able to handle whatever comes our way, and trust that things will work out in the end. It requires the courage to take a leap of faith and see what happens.

When we let go, breathe and trust, we open ourselves up to new possibilities and experiences that we may have never considered before. It may be scary, but it is also incredibly liberating. So next time you're feeling overwhelmed with the need to have everything planned out, take a deep breath and let go. Trust that everything will work out and see what happens. You might just be surprised at the amazing things that come your way.

You don't always need a plan in life. Sometimes, you just need to breathe, trust, let go, and see what happens. This allows you to be more present, open to new possibilities and experiences, and truly experience the beauty of life. Trusting in yourself and the world around you takes courage but it is also liberating.

A Closer Look at the Enduring Appeal of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
