The Silent Prayer of a Broken Heart

Oh God, here I am, weak, broken and torn to splintering pieces,
crying in pain because of the cruelty of the world and its tragedies.
You have created us out of love, the greatest force that ever existed on earth
Yet, many are tormented and in deep anguish in search of its worth.
You have designed a man to be the steward of your creations
but felt sad as you saw that he was lonely traveling the greatness of your work
and so you created a woman to be with him
to be his companion and partner in life forever
But the sanctity of genuine love has been distorted today
its beauty remained on the biblical passages and pages of fairy tales
People are blinded by the mocking promises of love and lust
and leave its victims shattered in the darkness of misery as trash.


Oh God, here I am, weak, broken and torn to splintering pieces,
I don't know where to run and hide from these haunting reminiscence.
I have always been fascinated by the magic of love
but I only get frustrations and failed expectations which caught me off-guard
I cried a river, screamed at the top of my lungs not wanting anyone to hear my remorse
Until my eyes were dry, dry with hate and indignation full of sorrow
But Lord, please don't let me fill my heart with anger and vengeance
Let me forgive the man who gave warmth to my heart, and eventually burned it into ash.


Oh God, here I am, weak, broken and torn to splintering pieces,
fervently seeking for strength to stand and walk away from this remnant of distress
My feet buried on the wretched past of youthful passion of love and bliss
my eyes shut from the nightmares of wonderful memories of laugh and brisk
my mind floating to the insanity of the thought of him in euphoria and ecstasy
my hands reaching for the invisible warmth as his hands intertwined to mine and feel cozy
Lord , my Savior, my Refuge, to you I offer my troubled soul
that it may find peace and comfort in your arms, and be saved from the ruthless world.
I don't know what the future holds , but I still want to believe in love and in You
and you hold the future the source of love and all, and so I trust in You.
Amen.

RESPONSE SPEECH 28th Oath Taking Ceremonies of Professional Teachers Cagayan de Oro, Liceo de Cagayan University January 17, 2015 (written during the late distressing hours of January 16th) grin emoticon ) Greetings to the Professional Regulatory Board for Professional Teachers chaired by Hon. Rosita L. Navarro; to all of the proud administrators from different colleges and universities; to all of the fulfilled parents; and to my fellow new agents of change, the teachers, good morning. People vary from their dreams and desires. I do believe that not all of the passers here have dreamed of teaching inside the four corners of the classroom within some dreading hours of dealing with the different kinds of learners. Some might admit that this is not their first choice at all. Being an engineer, doctor, nurse, businessman, pilot or architect sound more enticing and classy than to be called as a teacher. Probably others were even “forced” (just like in my case) to take this c...

Kaya Kong Mag-isa

Simple lang naman ang buhay ko, maayos, kalma at hindi komplikado. Lagi kong sinasabi sa sarili na "Oo, sapat na 'to, walang gulo, hindi pa delikado". Inisip kong kaya kong mabuhay sa mundo, na ako lang at hindi kailangan ang kahit sino. Mabubuhay ako dahil kaya ko, kahit ako lang mag-isa, makakatayo ako. Kumakain akong mag-isa sa kantina. Sa loob ng aklatan, mag-isa akong nagbabasa. Umuupo ako nang mag-isa sa plaza, habang kumakain ng paborito kong kwek-kwek na mainit pa. Mag-isa akong umuuwi papunta sa amin. Gusto kong umuwi ng gabi, malamig at walang nakakapansin. Mahilig akong magpunta sa mall, kunwari may bibilhin, mas magnda nang mag-isa dahil mas tipid, bawas gastusin. Hindi ako magsasalita kung hindi ka mauuna. Kaya kong umupo ng buong oras na walang kahit isang salita. Hindi ako nagrereklamo sa kung anuman ang aking nakikita, pero ako ay nagmamasid sa bawat kilos ng madla...

Hindi pa o Hindi na?

Sabi nila, chase for your happiness , choose what your heart wants, take the risk . Happiness . Masaya. Pero masakit rin pala. Mali bang mahalin ulit yung taong minsang naging dahilan ng luha at sugat sa puso mo? Mali bang tanggapin yung taong minsang sumira sa tiwala at pananalig mo? Mali bang maniwala ulit sa mahika ng pag-ibig na minsang lumason sa sistema mo? Kapatawaran ba tawag don o katangahan? Malamang, sasabihin ng marami katangahan. Oo nga naman, sinuka mo na nga eh, lulunukin mo ulit? Sinaktan ka na nga eh, papasugat ka ulit? Dapat bigyan muna ng panahon bago bumigay ulit, maghintay sa tamang oras para sumubok muli. Tanging oras ang makapagpapasya kung pwede na o hindi pa. Oras. Ano nga ba talaga nagagawa ng oras? May katuturan nga ba ito sa nararamdaman at desisyon ng isang tao? Ilusyon lang ba ito? Pumipigil sa ligayang nararamdaman, o nagtatanggal sa sakit na pinapasan; kumukulong sa damdamin o nagpapalaya sa mithiin; nagdidikta kung kailan dapat magmahal o nag...
