I pity your ignorance..
I detest your arrogance..

Vindicated

Vindicated Lyrics
Artist(Band):Dashboard Confessional

Hope dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption
Winding in and winding out
The shine of it has caught my eye

And roped me in
So, mesmerizing, so hypnotizing,
I am captivated, I am

{Chorus}
Vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right
I swear I'm right
Swear I knew it all along
And I am flawed, but I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself

So clear
Like the diamond in your ring
Cut to mirror your intention
Oversized and overwhelmed
The shine of which has caught my eye
And rendered me
So isolated, so motivated
I am certain now that I am

{Chorus}

So turn
up the corners of your lips
Part them and feel my finger tips
Trace the moment fall forever

Defense is paper thin
Just one touch and I'll be in
Too deep now to ever swim against the current
So let me slip away
So let me slip away
So let me slip away
So let me slip against the current
So let me slip away
So let me slip away
So let me slip away
So let me slip away

{Chorus}

Like hope
dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption...

Illusion

Time, an irreplaceable gift so graciously bestowed upon the hands of mankind. Yet we humans are so keen on wasting it. It's because we have too much of it that we fail to see just how important it is. Who ever says that he has all the time in the world is a fool. Time will never be enough.

We humans waste so much time on superficial things like vanity and wealth. We try so much to make our lives perfect by achieving success when clearly, our view of what perfection really is is completely blurry. We think that once we're rich or famous, we'll be happy. That's why we idolize celebrities and billionaires so much. We imitate them and aspire to be just like them. So we waste time fighting each other just to see who attains a status that's higher than everyone else's. And once a certain status is reached, we spend a lot more time showing off everything we have, making others feel bad about themselves, or jealous of what we have. No wonder we make more enemies. Then, the paranoia sinks in. We start thinking that everyone's out to get us. We begin building fences to keep everyone away, attempting to protect everything that we've worked so hard for. While we do so, we do not realize that we've spent all our resources on the barricades we've built that we have nothing left to protect. We go back to where we started, the cycle begins again. Benjamin Franklin once said "Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that the stuff life is made of." With all the time we've wasted, we've also wasted so much of our lives. Let's all think back to how much time we've spent arguing instead of making peace, or destroying a life when we could've helped rebuild someone else's. Let's think about it, and we'll realize that we should also start thinking about what we're gonna do with the little time we all have left.

However,with all these in our heads, it's also wrong to think that we're all out of time. If people who think they have all the time in the world are fools, people who believe they don't have time at all are just lazy. We've always had the power to control time, not the other way around. Truth be told, we can make time for anything. We just have to have the initiative to do so. We just have to think.

Time is an illusion. By the time we've finished blinking, it would've already come and gone. We don't have too much of it, nor do we lack any. We have just enough, so make it count.

Sana..

Sana..

sa tuwing tumitingin ka sa mga bituin,
at namamangha ka sa dami nila,
maalala mong heto akong nag-iisa,
nangangarap na sana'y bituin din ako
nang sa gayun ay pagmasdan mo rin ako
kahit paminsan-minsan lang.

Sana..

sa bawat hakbang ng mga paa mo,
maisip mo kung gaano kasakit,
na nakikita kitang naglalakad
na papalayo ng papalayo sa akin.
umaasa na sana'y ang patutunguhan mo
ay kung saan naroon ako.

Sana..

sa tuwing natutulog ka ng mahimbing,
lahat ng mga panaginip mo'y
naghahatid sa'yo ng saya
na alam kong di ko mapapantayan.
dahil alam ko rin na kailan ma'y
di ako magiging laman ng mga panaginip mo.

Sana..

balang araw mabuksan ang mga mata mo
nang makita mong may nagmamahal sayo
ng higit pa sa inaakala mo.
at ibabalik mo ang damdaming iyon
sa taong nagpaligaya sa'yo
at nagmahal sa'yo ng lubos.

Sana..

sa pagdating ng araw na iyon,
maging masaya rin ako para sa'yo.
Dahil narito ako sa harapan mo
pero hindi mo nakikitang,
mas mahal kita
kaysa sa taong minamahal mo ngayon.



I wish..

that everytime you look at the stars
and marvel at their number
you remember me,while I'm here alone
wishing I was a star
so that you'd look at me too
even for just a moment.

I wish..

that with each step you take,
you realize how painful it is
for me to see you walking
farther and farther away from me.
hoping that wherever you're going
is where I am right now.

I wish..

that everytime you're sleeping soundly,
every dream you have will
bring you happiness
that I know I can never give you.
'cause I know that I will never
be the subject of your dreams.

I wish..

that someday you'll open your eyes
so you can see that you are loved
more than you've ever imagined.
and you'll give back that same emotion
to the person who's made you happy
and has loved you unconditionally.

I wish..

that when that day comes,
I'll be happy for you too.
'cause here I am infront of you
but you fail to see
I love you so much more
than the person you're loving right now.

Haiku #1

Sa'ting dalawa,
isa lang ang mali ko.
Minahal kita.

Bakit?

Umuwi ka nung minsan,
may dalang rosas.
Natuwa ako,
bihira mong gawin yun.

Hindi ka rin nagbabasa,
pero may hawak kang libro.
"The Tragedy of Macbeth"
paborito kong libro.

Pinagluto kita,
halata namang di mo gusto
inubos mo parin,
sumakit tuloy tiyan mo.

Nagpatawa ako,
corny yung joke.
Pero sinakyan mo parin ako,
natawa ako sa sarili ko.

Bakit..
Mahal mo ba ko?

Her...

The way you touch my hand,
how it fits mine so perfectly
as we take that walk together
and laugh at random things..

Or when we cuddle in the sofa,
and watch our favorite movie
and throw popcorn at each other
just for the fun of it..

When the rain pours outside,
you hug me ever so tenderly
and you hum our favorite song
along with the rain's melody..

When you try your best,
to prepare my favorite meal
even though you don't get it right
your smile makes up for everything,,

In all those little things,
I know how you feel..
How much you show your love..
how perfect you can be..

too bad..

I see it in your eyes..
Whenever you look at me so deeply..
I know that who you see..
Is her and never me..

Pluma..

In the absence of the right words to convey our inner most thoughts, we humans find new ways to express ourselves. We create poems, sing songs and paint pictures just to show what we really feel and what we want to say. In each line of a poem, in every melody of a song and in every stroke of a brush lies the scars, the tears, and the sorrow of the insignificant artist. For it is never the maker who is recognized, but the product of the intensity of his emotions and the inspiring beauty that he has created.

Paalam

It's been more than a month. I'm sure we're both aware of it.. Never counting exactly how many days.. But still subconsciously aware.. At least, I am.. I was..

It hurt so much at first.. Like the pain would never end.. I was giving up something that I've gotten used to for so long.. I was ending a huge part of my life..

But it had to be done.. We both knew it.. We both felt it.. It hurt.. But somehow it felt right..

It happened.. It went so fast.. I didn't realize That it was over.. We were over.. I wasn't aware that you had said goodbye.. I don't remember if I said it.. But if I did.. At that moment.. I never completely meant it..

It was hard to live with that decision.. At one moment happy about it.. The next, wanting to go back.. But I stuck with it.. Held my ground.. And moved on..

It was never complete though.. There were always thoughts of you.. Memories, lingering here and there.. It was unavoidable.. I knew they'd come.. But they weren't enough to make me look back..

The 15th.. Almost, but not quite.. A reminder of what we could've been.. What we might've had.. It's sad.. To think of the probable future.. Even more than reminiscing the past.. For there's always this regret that I could never shake off..

It's been long overdue.. My goodbye.. I've been putting it off for so long.. Still holding a part of my past.. Never fully letting go.. For a moment.. I shunned the thoughts.. The memories.. Locked them all up in the darkest regions of my mind.. But they were there.. Though silent and unmoving.. Unearthing them brought back all the emotions.. The happiness.. The pain.. Everything.. But it's time.. To completely be free of this prison I've made for myself.. I've gotten over you..

Overly dramatic? Perhaps.. I won't attempt to defend myself.. Let them think what they want.. I'll let you think what you want.. This was never really for you.. It's for me.. My confession.. My commitment.. ME..

So finally.. For all it's worth.. To your friendship.. A warm hello.. To your love..

goodbye..
