Whispering Shadows

I am the shadow from behind,
Always wondering what's on your mind,
Longing for you always on my sight,
Wondering if you'd allow me, if I might?

My voices that you're ignoring,
Leaves me in the limbo wandering,
Can you please see me as I am looking,
Behind you as you are walking?

I know you're busy with your life,
But I can't help but feel this strife,
I long to talk, to laugh, to share,
But you don't seem to be aware.

I beg you to hear my voice,
And let me enter your life by choice,
I promise to be gentle and kind,
And cherish you with all my heart and mind.

I'm not just a shadow, a mere reflection,
But a person with a heart, a soul, and affection,
Please give me a chance, to show you who I am,
And I'll prove to you, that I'm not just a shadow, a mere scam.

My heart beats faster every time you're near,
And I wish that you could just hear,
The love that's waiting here for you,
The passion, the fire, burning bright and true.

I'll wait for you, in the shadows of the night,
Hoping that someday, you might see the light,
And realize that the love you seek,
Has been right here, all along, waiting to peak.

I don't need fancy words, or grand gestures,
Just a simple chance, to show you my treasures,
The love, the kindness, the care,
All that I have, I'll give to you, my fair.

So here I am, still in the shadows,
Watching as you come and go,
Hoping that someday, you might see,
The love that's waiting here for thee.

Until that day, I'll keep on dreaming,
And keep on hoping, and keep on believing,
That one day, you'll turn around,
And see me here, waiting, without a sound.

And if that day should ever come,
I'll hold you close, and never let you run,
Together we'll walk, in the light of day,
And the shadows of the past, will fade away.

So, until then, I'll wait and see,
Hoping that one day, you'll notice me,
And let me into your heart and soul,
And together, we'll become whole.

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.

The Redemptive Power of Love: A Les Misérables Poem

 "Les Misérables" is a timeless tale of love, redemption, and the indomitable human spirit. The story follows Jean Valjean, a man who has served his time in prison but is relentlessly pursued by the ruthless inspector Javert. Despite the challenges and hardships he faces, Valjean finds the strength to forgive and start anew, eventually finding love and a sense of purpose in the most unlikely of places. This poem captures the heart and soul of "Les Misérables," a story that has touched the hearts of readers and audiences around the world.

In the streets of Paris, in the times of old
Where the poor and the wretched, their stories were told
There was a man, Jean Valjean, who had paid his debt
But society shunned him, and he had to fend for himself yet

He found redemption, and a new life to live
But the shadows of his past, they would not forgive
The inspector Javert, a man of the law
Pursued Valjean, with a single-minded claw

But Valjean, he proved that love and mercy
Can conquer even the darkest history
He took in a girl, Fantine, who had fallen from grace
And gave her the love, and the care that she faced

And through the years, as the revolution brewed
Valjean and his family, their struggles ensued
But in the end, love and forgiveness prevailed
As the barriers between classes, finally failed

Les Misérables, a tale of love and despair
But also of hope, and the power to repair
The wounds of the past, and to build a new future
A message that rings true, now and forever.

What is Love and Its Biblical Senses

Love is a complex mix of emotions, behaviors, and beliefs associated with strong feelings of affection, protectiveness, warmth, and respect for another person. It is a virtue representing human kindness, compassion, and affection—the unselfish loyal, and benevolent concern for the good of another. It is the foundation of the Christian faithis integral to the teachings of Jesus.

In the Bible, love is described as an action, not just a feeling. It involves actively caring for and showing kindness to others, regardless of how we feel about them at any given moment. This selfless love is exemplified in the life of Jesus, who willingly sacrificed Himself on the cross for the salvation of humanity.

One of the most famous passages about love in the Bible is 1 Corinthians 13, which describes love as patient, kind, not envious or boastful, not proud or rude, not self-seeking or easily angered, and not keeping a record of wrongs. This passage teaches us that true love involves putting the needs and well-being of others above our own, and treating others with kindness, even when they may not deserve it.

Another important aspect of love in the Bible is its connection to God. In John 15:9-10, Jesus says, "As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commands and remain in his love." This passage emphasizes the importance of loving God and following His commands as a way to remain in His love.

In addition to selfless love and love for God, the Bible also teaches us to love our neighbors as ourselves. This includes loving and caring for all people, regardless of their background or beliefs. In Matthew 22:39, Jesus says, "Love your neighbor as yourself." This commandment reminds us that we are all brothers and sisters in Christ and are called to love and serve one another.

Overall, the biblical sense of love is about showing selfless, compassionate love for others, loving God and following His commands, and loving and caring for all people. It is an active choice to put the needs of others above our own and to treat others with kindness and respect.

TIPS SA PAGLALARO NG BASKETBALL

 1. Bago ka maglaro ng basketball, kelngan ihanda ang sarili, mag-stretching mula ulo hanggangb paa, kasi kailangan isip muna bago puso, dapat isipin mo sa papaaukin mo e handa kang masaktan ano man ang kalabasan.

 2. Siguraduhing may bola na gagamitin sa paglalaro nito, kasi kung wala magjogging ka na lang. Mahirap kasi umaasa, lalo na't handang handa ka na, tapos wala naman pala.

 3. Sa paglalaro nito, kelangan alam mo ang ibat ibang skills nito, kasi kung di mo alam magmumukha kangbtanga sa harapan nila. Nageeffort ka nga pero ayun mukha ka lang tanga sa harap nya.

 4. Habang naglalaro, pilitin mo na maagaw ang bola, dahil ang tunay na pagibig hindi hinihintay, inaagaw yan. Paghirapan mo, kahit madaming nakapalibot sa kanya, wag mo syang bitawan. Ipaglaban mo sya. Wag na wag mong papaagaw pag nasa sayo na.

 5. Pinakahuili sa lahat, tanggapin kung talo ka, piliting lampasan ang sakit kung hindi ikaw pinili nya. At wag ng makipagaway sa napili nya. Ganyan talo, minaan panalo minsan talo, pereo pinakamaaakit sa lahat, nasa harap mo na pinakawalan mo pa.

MGA DAPAT TANDAAN PAG DUMATING ANG THE BIG ONE (LINDOL)

ni #JacyBanatero

1. Pag naramdaman mo na gumagalaw na ang paligid mo, umiwas sa matataas na lugar. Pumunta sa may malawak na espasyo kung saan pede mong ilabas ang nararamdaman mo. Tandaan mo, hindi lahat ng nahuhulog e para sayo, yung iba para sa kanila kaya wag kang tanga, kuha? 

2. Laging iisipin ang sarili, pag nasa ligtas na lugar alamin sa paligid kung may kaswalidad na maari mong tulungan. Tandaan wag ibuhos ang lahat ng meron ka, kelngan mong magtira para sa sarili. Kasi lahat ng sobra nasasayang. 

3. Huwag hayaang walang nakakaalam kung nasaan ka. Ipramdam mo na nanjan ka at hindi ka tanga para malaman mong meron na syang iba. Yung tipo nanjan nga pero puso't isip nya iba ang nakikita. Bobo tawag sayo pag ganon, bobo! 

4. Kung sakaling ligtas ka na sa kapahamakan, ipagbigay alam agad sa kapamilya, umuwi sa bahay at ikwneto lahat ng nangyari. Sabhin mo lahat para maresbakan lalaki nya, putangina talaga. Ganon fre! Haha 

5. At ang huli, iwasan ang kausapin ang sarili, kasi bandang huli meron ka ng tulili. Daming babae/lalaki sa mundo noh. May taong nakalaan sayo. Sa tamang panahon! Punyeta! Kuha mo?
