Unplanned Visit to Merdeka Square
As we pass by, my mom told me that this is a nice place. She is thankful that the driver put us down in this area. Actually I did not appreciate the place before, but when roam around I can say that it is also a tourist spot. We take some picture of it. My mom never get tired posing as this is her last weekend that she will stay here in KL. There are a lot of events celebrating in this place.
It's like a Luneta Park in the Philippines.
Baby Zoe's Third Weeks
Now on his 3rd weeks baby Zoe celebrate his first Christmas. This is also our first Christmas celebrating with our baby.
This week our baby is a little bit more awake than his 2nd weeks, even he still spend more his time sleeping and eating. The time schedule of his feeding, sleeping, changing nappies is now a bit clearer to us. My wife can even changed diaper with her closed eyes now.
My mom gives him some toys as Christmas presents but he still not interests for it. Maybe he still loves to see our beautiful faces.
We are also enjoying staring with his big eyes and smell the baby milk breath.
Chowkit Market
Chowkit is one of the best market place here in KL. You can buy everything in a cheap price. It's a wet and dry market. There is a lot of shopping stall if around it.
It is accesible to buses and near the Chowkit Monorail Station.
Baby Zoe's Second Weeks
I notice that he already improves his hearing as he is responsive from the noises we created. He is quite responsive as we talk to him like he heard everything we say. His eyes are blinking as he responds too. Crying is the only communication my baby knows and we communicate him through talking, singing or even dance with him (we don’t need to cry like him to communicate). Our gentle touch to our newborn is also our way in communicating him.
In this week, his grandma is the one who bathe him as she enjoys doing it. We let him do this thing until she go back home in our home country. She gave us advice how to do it correctly and safe. Thanks mom.
When he is asleep, we still enjoying his facial expression. He smile and looks sad sometimes. Here are some of my baby’s stolen shots.

Baby Zoe when he is angry, but he still cute. |
Baby Zoe's First Week
In this week, we still were getting to know our baby and start noticing on his routine. My newborn is spending more time asleep. He cries if he is hungry or his nappy is wet and uncomfortable. We are happy that my wife can breastfed our baby. I heard that some mothers are not. Breastfeeding is really good for baby.
I feel that his remaining umbilical cord is uncomfortable for him. But the doctor says that the stump will fall on its own.
We were enjoying watching his expression while he is asleep. He is smiling, playing with his lips and big eyes. It’s look like he playing with his angel. We also notice that he has a dimple on his face when he smiled. We can’t explain the feeling while watching him. Everyone in my social network (FB) friends wants to see our cute baby. It is overwhelming when they send some messages and comment that we have a handsome and cute baby. Sometime they want more photos since we are working abroad and they can’t see our baby personally. He is the best gift I ever received this coming Christmas. Thank you Lord for this wonderful gift.
Baby is Crying
When my baby starts crying, he is starting communicating to us. This is the only way he can communicate to since he can’t talk at this moment. We always check his diaper if it is wet or has it poops. He is not comfortable with this that’s why we need to change it. Another reason is we can check if our baby is hungry. Check the time of the last feeding of your baby. So you know if he is hungry or not. Always monitor your baby’s temperature and consult your doctor if it is on 40degrees Celsius, maybe this is reason for his crying.
It is also possible that you baby wants your attention and he wants you to carry him. His first tooth is coming, or he just wants to hear some music. So you need to sing with your baby. Don’t worry your baby doesn’t know if you sang nicely or not, he just want to hear your voice.The good thing it is another way to bond with our baby.
This is it
I pray that I will be a great dad to him.

Repair Shop
Now I find a good quality auto repair shop in San Diego. I have no worries having a car problem nowadays. Knowing that I can really depend on them in times of trouble.
Anawangin and Capones Island
We don’t have a car and rent a service with three people is very expensive. So we decided to take bus to go there. We prepare to have this adventure as we are still young. We take Philtranco Bus at Manila around 10:30pm and expecting to arrive at 4am but we been in San Antonio Zambales at 2:30am. We are too early and it is very cold outside since it is a Christmas season. We wait for the market to open and buy something to eat and drink for our trip.
Around 6:00am we finally take a tricycle going to Brgy. Pundaquit and take a boat to Anawangin. It’s 7:00am when we finally came in the mystical cove of Anawangin. We are almost 12 groups of campers when we arrived, some are already there and stay overnight, some are coming as the time goes by. By then, we search for a good place to locate our tent. After setting up tent and all our stuff we don’t waste time and roam around the place.
Around 3pm, we take a short trek and hire some guy to guide us. It cost us 200 pesos for the guide but it’s all worthy as the view from top are very relaxing and has an amazing view down there. It almost 15 minutes trek up to get there on the top.
The place is very amazing. A white beach with a pine trees in the area. Which is unusual in Philippine beaches. Usually Philippine beaches are surrounds by a coconut trees. We really enjoy the place and the clear water. We also noticed that while we are swimming we saw some little fishes around. We try to catch them but it's too hard, they are too quick and we are only using our hands to catch them. We’re like a kid at that time and you can forget all you worries and problems way back in a normal world. LOL
As the night coming, some campers are preparing things for the bonfires. It’s all back to basic, no electricity. Toilet is there but you need to get your own water in what you called Poso in the Philippines. While in the tent you will hear the wind blow it's looks like there is a storm coming.
The next day, we left Anawangin around 9:00 am and head to the nearby Capones Island. It was a 20 minutes boat ride from Anawangin Cove. As we go by the place, the sea wave is getting stronger that makes us scared. We are wearing a life jacket so we’re not panic as we know that we will float if anything will happen(LOL). Thanks God we arrived safe and sound.
Capones Island is rocky place and another breathtaking view especially if you reach the top of the light house. This is really a nice place, a heaven, a paradise or whatever you want to describe it. The natural beauty of the place is great. God’s workmanship is really amazing.
A Prayer
I was browsing some Christian quotes for me to relax and to be inspired. I just search this quote “God understands our prayers even when we can't find the words to say them”. I was amazed because it is very true. God always know what is the desire of our heart. We just don’t know how and what words to say them. Sometimes we don’t even say to Him everything we need but he gave more than enough in what we need, in His right time and right place. You don’t even notice that He uses other people to bless us.
In my journey in life I still have a lot of trials coming to me. But in prayer I know God understand what we need and what we desire. I always prayed to the Lord and but sometimes I don’t know how to say it. I even shy to tell Him that “I need this Lord”. I always think that I have enough of it. Instead I pray that bless the people around me so I may be blessed too. I know some people that they pray for others than themselves. They pray for their family, friends, neighbors and country but forget to pray for his self.
How about you? Can you pray for others? I hope so…
Singapore Getaway
It’s 11pm when we depart from the terminal which is the last trip of the day. We arrive around 4am in the morning and met my cousin in terminal in Singapore. She can a little bit late and came in his apartment around 7am. We did not take Hotels as my cousin offer a room to accommodate us. We take a nap before we roam around Singapore.
We take a train going to Vivo mall and take our lunch there. Then we take a monorail from Vivo Mall to Sentosa Island. Sentosa is the place where there are a lot of joy rides, tourist attractions, especially the Merlion statue. We go around the place until 6pm in the evening. After that we get a promo ticket for Universal Studio at every 7pm to 9pm. After that we watch a show in Sentosa which is they called it “Songs of the Sea”. It was a nice show which last at least 20 minutes. After that we ate our dinner and went to Esplanade to take night photography with a long exposure technique, as my wife love to love photography too.
In the next day, we went to Bugis Street to buy some souvenir items. To me Bugis Street is look like Petaling Street in KL, Malaysia. You can buy a lot of stuff over there with a cheap price. We only have till 2pm to have this shopping as we are ticket going to KL is at 3pm. I know that my mom and my sister want to stay 1 or more days but they don’t want to disturb my cousin in her work.
Singapore is a very great place to go which you can relax and fun. Though we didn’t visit some popular places there like Orchard, Singapore zoo, Bird Park and other popular places (as we stay only for two days). We are hoping that we will visit it all in the next time.

My Wife’s Pregnancy Check Up
Well, as I have my job and it is my first time to be dad it is hard to take time out during working hours to accompany my wife to her routine pregnancy check-ups. But I really try to skip in my work and apply for a leave to accompany her because for me it is very important.
There’s a lot of reason why it is important to accompany her. Like, I heard from my sister that some gynecologist is overly cautious and sometimes discourage your wife. Yes, some of them are like that, they usually warned you for the possible complication even they only concluding it. The result is, your wife may suffer hypertension and became more stressed after each visit. She needs you (dad) to comfort her in these moments. What if you are not there to comfort her?
Also, being present there, I can easily clarify things to our doctor. Hearing directly from the doctor is a big difference from hearing it from your wife. I can ask some query if I need to. I can learn and understand things better to the pregnancy that we will going through with my wife. I can be prepared if there’s anything happen. I can remind my wife what the gynae told us if she forget about it. It becomes worse if I had not learnt from the many pregnancy check-ups and add to her worry by being worried to myself.
Accompany her every pregnancy check up makes my wife happy. Whether she admits it or not, I’m sure it really means a lot to her. I show to her how much I care and for the development of our baby.
Dad to be, pregnancy check-ups are important and you should be there in the consultation room with your wife for as long as possible. There are a lot of reasons for you to go than not to go with her.
How to Help you Partner
Bukit Bintang
If you love shopping this place is fit for you. My mom and my sister always go in this place to shop. Even there are a lot of people around the place. I can’t say it is cheap to shop but you will enjoy doing it if you are in this place. You can compare this Bukit Bintang in Araneta Center, Cubao in Philippines. People walked and walked all over the place even they’re not going to shop.
Bonding with my Baby
In the fourth month of their development, our baby begins to hear a sound. In regular talking and singing to your baby, your voice will easily recognize when your child was born. Your voice will become so familiar to your baby. It can make your baby feel comfortable and secured whenever he hears that voice.
Photowalk at Lake Titiwangsa
You can take KL Monorail and stop by at Titiwangsa Station and from station take Bus #120 or you can walk about 10 to 15 minutes.
First Time Father
There are a lot of things that I experience from my wife during her pregnancy. She is experiencing night sickness and not morning sickness. Food craving in different kinds of food, especially fruits. She always feels hot even I am feeling cold in our air-conditioned room. I saw her physical change from the start of her pregnancy. The constipation that makes us worry, we always think that it will affect our baby in her womb. I hope not.
I need to be supportive to my wife during her pregnancy. I know pregnancy is not easy especially when it’s your first time.
Swimming Exercise
The picture was taken by me during her weekly swimming exercise down our neighborhood.
A Detailed Scan
As we went halfway to the big day, we are enjoying our baby’s presence inside my wife's womb and discovering all the changes on her body is truly amazing. The preparation of his final arrival makes us so excited.
First Time Parents Tips
Avoid changing the carer – Babies usually begin to show signs of close attachment to one special person and this is usually the mother. It’s not a good time for the baby to introduce a new primary carer without sufficient time to get used to the new person.
Keep the home comforts – Take some items from home to help your child feel comfortable while you are away. Things like comforters, toys, pillows and sheets that smell of home can help the child settle into a strange bed faster.
Be a good example – In many ways you should be a good example to your child. For example, when it comes to road safety, always use right pedestrian or overpass when you cross the road. Some adults do not use it even there is one available. Mostly children think that it was right.
Basic First Aid – In the age of seven, your children can attend some basic first aid training that will help them how to react in emergency situations. This is also a big help for them to be more aware of what could happen and avoid potential accident and danger.
Have fun – Try to make family get-together and traditions child-friendly. This is important if you have the first child of the new generation, where occasions may not be geared to youth. Don’t be afraid to change things to help your child have fun.
At home holiday –It’s easy to get bogged down in the responsibility of life, but it’s important to take time out too. Once a month, declare “at home holiday” for your family when you take time out to be together, play board games, go on outings and share activities.
Enhance holiday or traditions – When your family celebrates holiday or special events, allow your traditions to enhance according to your children want. History is important, but if your children are going to enjoy family occasions, it’s important they feel involved. Get their input when planning and try to incorporate their ideas.
Trust your Instinct – When it comes to deciding on appropriate child care, trust both your instincts and your children’s. If you or they feel uneasy about the person or place, spend more time looking around and don’t feel embarrassed about asking a lot of questions.
Talk to other parents – If you’re unsure about the nursery you’ve chosen for your child, ask them to put you in contact with some of the other parents. If they are reluctant to do this, think again about whether you want your child for be cared for there.
Clarke Quay
How to get there? From Sentosa Island, we take two trains to get there. Usually Clarke Quay is very accessible in any means of transportation. You can visit here for more info.
Genting Highlands
I have been in Genting three times since I am working here in KL and still counting. Because every time I have friend visit us we usually went in that place. It’s around 1 hour from the city centre. It is easy to get there, just go to KL Sentral, take a bus but be sure to book early especially during weekends and holidays. The ticket will cost you about less than 20RM with cable car included (two ways). You can take taxi cab if you miss your slot. It’s around 60RM since the taxi cannot take any passenger going down the place.
We usually most enjoy with the sky cable going up the highland. It’s scary for the first and fun in the same time. You will find trees everywhere during your ride in the sky cable.
Petronas Twin Tower
But for me, nothing beats the beauty of Petronas twin tower at night. For the second time around, we visit it during the
night time. We spent the whole night there and we didn’t go anywhere. It is a nice sight when you are far, but it was better when you are near the area.
How to get there? We’ll this is very popular place, just take a cab and tell the driver Petronas Twin Tower. LOL
New Google Search Engine
Google search engine updates to get an instant result. This updates feature is to give their user a likely results as soon as they begin typing their query. They instantly predict what searchers are looking for after each letter they will type. This is the challenge from the search alliance of Yahoo and Microsoft.
The new feature was already available to Google users in the US recently and will roll out to users in Germany, France, Italy, Russia, Spain and Britain eventually.
Google instant search offers as the user types in a query will expect to save an average of two to five seconds on every search. So Google predicted that it would save to customers a total of 350 million hours a year.
Valetine in Sungei Congcak
Sungai Congkak Recreational Forest is located in the district of Hulu Langat, Selangor. Since some of our Kabayan’s has a car we don’t need to commute. But you can also take public transportation, from Kuala Lumpur, take a City Liner bus No 572 in front of Metro Jaya to Kajang town. Then, catch a taxi either in front of Billion Shopping Centre or in front of Plaza Metro Kajang to take you to Sungai Congkak recreational Forest. For more info click here.
This place is promising for me and for the people who love photography. We try to find the falls but were not able to reach the end (actually the start of the water stream). He walked very far maybe it’s about an hour but still its look like there’s no end. So we decide to go back to the group.

CHOOSING A RIGHT BACKPACK
BACKPACKS
Parents should be careful to buy a best school backpacks for their kids as possible. Most students have to carry their books, notebooks and other additional stuff from home to school and vice versa. The combination of ergonomic design and fashionable features that appeal to their kids are needed to consider. The defective usage of backpack may cause a posture problems to back, neck and shoulder that are associated with weight. They are often worn only on one shoulder causing an imbalance of the weight and a higher stress on a single body part. If the student wears both straps and belts then, the comfort and the posture are assured.
You can recognize the best school backpacks either by looking for online reviews or by making some simple basic checks yourself. Thus, make sure that the straps are padded and wide so as not to dig in the child's shoulders. The best school backpacks should be always placed in the middle of the back and tight enough so as to be kept in place well. The free arm movement is also very important meaning that the student should be able to have access to the backpack easily and comfortably.
It's no use being keen on the best school backpacks if you're child doesn't know how to pack things in the first place. Thus, you need to teach him / her to remove unnecessary things and only carry the minimum necessary for the day. Moreover, the use of the compartments when repacking instead of just dumping the items inside is also important since a good shape of the backpack doesn't affect the balance and the body posture. Maybe you're child will not follow such advice all the time, but if random packing happens only now and then, you should still be content with the situation.
The best school backpacks also include belts to be fastened around the hips and the chest for a correct and safe weight distribution. The presence of additional items such as reflective patches on the backpacks could also be useful particularly if your child rides a bike or walks a lot early in the morning or at dusk. And last but not least, rolling backpacks could also represent an ideal solution to replace the traditional weight carried on the shoulders. Even so, consider the advantages and disadvantages of using a wheeled backpack since the circumstances may not be appropriate for it.
SCHOOL BACKPACKS
School backpacks have become a real problem ever since the excessive weight and pressure put on the student's spine have led to a whole range of ailments. Besides back pain, there are reports of muscle spasms, neck and shoulder pain and in the majority of cases a poor or incorrect posture. Therefore, the selection criteria for the choice of school backpacks should be a little harsher and definitely more demanding. Parents do not neglect what too much weight could do to your child's back! Other problems appear because youngsters, for instance, simply throw the school backpacks on one shoulder neglecting the weight, just because it looks cool!
Manufacturers in the branch have taken measures to adapt to the new standards and the result is obvious in radically improved school backpacks that are designed to be both ergonomic and meet the students' fashion trend expectations. Moreover, school backpacks are now adaptable so as to make it possible for one to carry other things besides the heavy schoolbooks. Band instruments, laptops, MP3 players and personal digital assistants have their special compartments inside the backpacks. From this point of view we could easily say that school backpacks have kept the pace with the most recent developments of our society.
School backpacks have a weight rating indicated on the label; always check it in order to make sure that the child will not stop forward trying to cope with the extra weight. Should the school backpacks hang too low on the waist, the pressure is increased on the shoulders, once again making the child lean forward. A constant weight carried on the back will eventually lead to the appearance of problems in the posture: the students will no longer have an upright posture even when without the school backpacks. Also check to see the number of compartments inside, since the better a content position, the more comfortable it will be for the child to carry it.
The best school backpacks are the ones with adjustable shoulder straps. Actually there are some features all straps should have in order to ensure an optimal body position. Thus, buy school backpacks that have wide padded straps that will not give the cutting sensation in the child's shoulders. Talk to the child and make him / her understand that it is highly important to wear the backpack on both shoulders and not just on one. This may be difficult with teenagers, but if you buy them some fashionable school backpacks, chances are higher that they will wear them correctly.
LAPTOP BACKPACKS
Laptop backpacks represent the very casual way of carrying the laptop or any other similar parts of equipment without too much trouble at all. Generally speaking, laptop backpacks are designed so as to provide plenty of room to suit one's needs with the mention that each model has a number of variable features. Straps are generally adjustable and there is limited or no bouncing at all when you carry the laptop on the back. Moreover, some laptop backpacks also include a special sleeve for extra protection and security, allowing you to transport your gear in the perfect conditions while still keeping your hands free.
When looking for laptop backpacks it is a good recommendation to go for those made from lightweight neoprene with breathable features since you'll feel for yourself how great this can be on very hot days or when you can't afford to carry any extra weight. Moreover, the slimmer the laptop backpacks the better adjustable to the body they will be. Most models include protection and room for laptops of up to seventeen inches in diagonal, while also providing some compartments for the storage of some books or folders. Depending on your necessities, you should check the compartments inside and decide which works best for you.
Then, another essential feature for laptop backpacks is waterproof: a must-have condition for a protective gear that needs not only to keep the equipment safe but also to prevent the impact of exterior factors on it. The neoprene variety mentioned before is the most common type of material used for the waterproof manufacturing of some laptop backpacks. The material should also be washable and stain proof as well so that the good look may be preserved for a longer period of time. The popularity of the laptop backpacks is increasing every day, since they make such a comfortable alternative to regular laptop bags for instance.
Large laptop backpacks work well for students who need room not only for their notebook but for all the additional paper-backed materials that they have to carry around with them on campus for instance. Moreover, it is not uncommon to see people climbing mountains or traveling from continent to continent relying on laptop backpacks. Stylish yet formal looking laptop backpacks also work great for business purposes. The idea is that you should buy an item that fits both your necessities and the design expectations. Therefore, it is a good idea to purchase a brand name that shows quite a bit of knowledge about computers and laptops in general and that is committed to the client's needs.
Cooking Tips
Cooking Tips
Beans and Peas absorb water when being cooked.
Always remember that beans and peas absorb water when being cooked. On average, it will take the one cup of beans or peas into two to three cups when cooked.
Pasta absorbs water.
As beans and peas, pasta also absorbs water when being cooked. It also take the one cup of pasta into two to three cups when cooked.
How to make a perfect slice?
Study shows that using a wet knife will help to get a perfect slice when slicing cake or a boiled egg. So try to practice to use a wet knife before slicing.
Microwave
Microwaves are a good way of heating foods but not for cooking.
Roast Meat.
After a roast meat is cooked do not serve and carved it right away. Let the roast meat stay in few minutes to allow them to absorb fluids and become juicy.
Affect of metal in vegetables.
The taste of vegetables may affect by using of metal. That is the reason why lettuce should shred by hand and not by knife. The vegetables using a metal knife should be limited to when there is no other way. So never use a metal bowl for salads because of the affects of the metal on vegetables.
Keeping vegetable's fresh.
In keeping vegetables fresh for as long as possible, it is important that they are dry before putting in refrigerator. Washing them once taken out of the fridge and not before putting them will help to avoid spoiling them in short period.
Frying Tips
Frying Tips
Oil and water should not mix when frying.
Oil and water should not mix when frying. If you do spilling water into an oil pan, it will cause an explosion.
Fry only Dry Foods.
Making sure that the food you are going to fry is dry. If you are trying frying moist meat, you can coat them with flour or bread crumbs.
Oil is hot enough.
The oil is hot enough before putting food in the pan. If the oil is not enough, the oil will be absorbed in the food.
Oils need different temperature.
Different oils need different temperatures. Olive oils should burns on low temperature or around 50 degrees C. Canola oils burns on high temperature. Mixing olive oil with butter or other oils may raise its burning temperature. Burnt oil is a cause for cancer. So try not to burn your oil while frying.
The best frying temperature for frying is about 180 degrees C.
Oil Re-using.
If you plan on using the same oil twice, filter it before doing so. Make sure there are no chunks of food floating in your oil from the last time you used it. Do not use the same oil more than 4 to 5 times.
Fry food one at a time.
Insert food to the frying pan slow, one at a time. Every time you insert something into your boiling oil the temperature in the pan reduces. That is why I recommend frying in small batches or inserting the food one at a time.
Amount of Oil
Use the minimum amount of oil, which is 10cm in deep frying. Do not use to much oil.
Frying Fish
Fish should be coated before deep frying them. Otherwise, the delicate flesh of the fish will burn. You can coat the fish with breadcrumbs, batter, ground almonds and many more as you can think of…
Deep-Frying Tips:
1. The oil must reach a good temperature to brown the exterior of
the food quickly while cooking it. That temperature is almost always between 350F and 375F degrees. To be sure the oil is right use a frying thermometer.
2. Use canola oil for frying. It is low in saturated fat, has a
high burning point, and does not detract from the flavor of
the food you are frying.
3. Avoid crowding food that is deep-fat-fried. The food must be
surrounded by bubbling oil, and you must keep the temperature
from falling too much. If you add too much food to a small
amount of oil, the temperature will plummet, and the food will wind up greasy and soggy.
4. Never fill the pot more than halfway with oil; this will
prevent bubbling over when the food is added.
5. Dry food well with paper towels before adding to the pot;
it helps reduce splattering.

Paano Gumawa ng Tula
Para sa iba ang paggawa ng tula ay mahirap at sa iba naman ay madali. Ang halimbawa na lamang nito ay hindi lahat ng manunulat ay nakakagawa ng tula. Ang ibang makata naman ay hindi rin nakakasulat ng kwento o nobela.
Para naman sa akin ang paggawa ng tula ay base sa nararamdaman at naiisip ng isang tao, dito inilalabas ng isang manunulat ang kanyang saloobin at nararamdaman. May mga tula na ang gumawa lamang ang nakakaintindi ng ibig sabihin ng kanyang isinulat. May mga iba din na hindi maintindihan ang kanyang sariling tula. Ang iba naman ay nakagisnang talino ang paggawa ng tula. Meron namang hindi nag-aral o hindi nagbabasa pero nakakasulat ng isang magandang tula. Ang iba naman ay kailangan ng inspirasyon bago makalikha ng isang tula. Halimbawa na lamang kung ang isang lalaki ay may nililigawan. Kasama sa pagpapaporma eh gagawa sya ng tula para sa babae. May mga tao naman na sa sobrang kalungkutan ay nakakagawa din sila ng magandang tula. Dito nila inilalabas ang galit at paninibugho nila. May iba’t ibang paraan kung saan sila nakakahugot ng kanilang isusulat, tulag ng pagkakaiba ng ating pag-iisip, pagkatao, panlasa, pang-amoy at pandama.
Alam nyo ba na may bahagi din ang tula? Ayon sa aking pagsasaliksik ang tula ay meron din mga bahagi. Ito ay ang tema, pamagat, estilo, simula, simbolo, katawan at wakas.
Paano Gumawa ng Tula
12 taludtod
Paano nga ba ginagawa ang tula?
Ilang bang taludtod at saknong kaya?
Para makagawa ng magandang tula,
Tanong ko sa aking sarili nung una.
Mahalaga pa ba ang pormal na tula?
Gayong isip at puso ang nagdidikta
Sa mga salita na nais ng may akda
Para sa bawat taong minamahal nya
Nais ko’y isang malayang manunulat
Sa bawat letra na aking sinusulat
Saloobin ng puso ay masiwalat
Para na din sa kababayan kong salat
Ngayon bayan ko ang aking inspirasyon
Sa paggawa ng tula na aking layon
Sa bawat bahagi ng aming kuwesyon
Nawa sa bawat tula ay may tutugon.

Bagong bayani ng ating bansa
Iyan ang sinasabi ng madla
Madami sa'tin ang umaaasa
Padala para sa'yong pamilya
Madali makipagsapalaran
Ang komunikasyon daw ay nandyan
Ngunit pa'no ang walang kaalaman
O bulsa ay laging walang laman
Sakripisyo ng bagong bayani
Dapat natin 'tong ipagmalaki
Para sa pamilya't bayang lipi
Para sa bukas nating mabuti
Iniisip palagi ang pamilya
Panibagong buhay ay kinaya
Salamat sa Diyos na lumikha
Sa Iyo lamang kami aasa.

Walk by Faith, Not by Sight
2 Corinthians 5:7
God is faithful to His promise despite we are going to wait too long to answer our prayer. But we need to believe the Lord, and He counted it to him as righteousness.
We walk by faith and not by sight as a Christian. This is the steps to Salvation, to walk in faith in Christ, even we have not seen Him with our own eyes, nor heard of Him personally. What we heard is through preaching by pastors and reading of the Bible. Faith is important in believing in Jesus Christ, our Saviour and Lord. Faith is believing in life that we cannot see, but what we are hope for.
Walk by faith means walk in life with Jesus. It is the route chosen as a sphere of action on one's life. We focus to eternity rather than our life here in earth. We supposed to love God and to love his fellowmen. To love his neighbor is to respect and honour them, inspite of race, colour and religion.
Walking by faith with Jesus Christ is to follow God’s will. All roads may lead us to place, but the road to heaven is only one way through Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour.

Ang laro ko noon ay ganito
Taguan, habulan, tumbang preso,
Basketbol, holen, o patintero
Habang ang iba ay nagpipiko
Ngayon kabataan ay nasan na?
Bakit di ko sila nakikita?
Yun pala nasa kapitbahay na
Playstation na ang laro nila!
Ang iba naman ay komputeran
Doon naman kanilang puntahan
Para maglaro at magsigawan
Wala naman silang natutunan
Larong Counter Strike o Dota
Friendster, facebook naman sa iba
Kung gusto mo mag-twitter ka pa
Yan na ang bagong teknolohiya
Iba na talaga ngayon!
