-Ang Mag-uuling-
1 Ang mag-uuling na si Alyna
Bahid man ng itim, ang kutis sutla
2 Ipinaglihi sa labanos itong binibini
Kaya ang balat ay napakaputi
3 Subalit mukhang hindi bagay
Kung saan siya nakalagay
4 Araw-araw nagsisiga
Ng mga kahoy at sanga
5 Nagbabagang kahoy hinihintay
Na ang apoy ay mamatay
6 Iyon ang tanging kabuhayan
Nitong dalaga ng silangan
7 Tuwing dapit-hapon
Mga uling pinupunpon.

-Tirador ni Ihib-
8 Ang binatang si Ihib
Na matibay ang dibdib
9 Laging umaakyat ng bundok
Ilang beses na sa tuktok
10 Tirador ay bitbit
Kasama ng mga batang malupit
11 Na sa ibon iaasinta
Upang madakip sa tuwina
12 Mga bato'y umiimbulog
Sa ibong ihuhulog
13 Sa sanga ng bayabas
Higpit ang gomang pang-utas
14 Kasamang matimtiman
Magtungo saanman.

She said she did like
saying it
but if he wanted sum or
to marry
he best keep looking
Said here intentions were
Odvious wasn't no
illusions
We far as it goes
In this relationship
Ain't no need acting
That's the way it is
Tipping through the tulips
Said he stumbled on sumthang
Special
She's ah friend to me
a real special one
Maybe I want more
Than want she was
Willing to give
Time to slip outta
Before I am head over heels
Don't need no drama y'all
That's how it is
Step away
We stepping away y'all
Don't need no foolishness
We stepping away y'all
The
Fluter wants more than
What the sanga is willing
to be
Maybe the time apart
Could settle what's
Wrong with you and me
Ain't no drama here
We real good friends
Let's keep it real
This is how this thang ends

Ang Puno
Ikaw ay itinanim
Sa lupaing'di marilim
Ugat mo'y lubos higpit
Sa tuwirang pagkapit
Sanga mo'y yumayabong
‘Di pigil sa pag-usbong
Dahon mo'y lumalago
Mga ibon humahango
Bulaklak ay humahalimuyak
Nagbibigay-galak
Bunga ay hinog na
Pitasin na ang biyaya!

Figuratively speaking
not to be overly
expressive
each unstressed whisper
me and you together
wasting no time
I'm on your dime
love it when were're to gether
so you like evening dates
not to early not to late
abouta quarter to four
I'll be there for sure ooh, we ooh wee!
ah -ah ooh wee ooh
I look forward to the time
were you and I can be kind
ah sweet remind
an evening with you!

I can yes!

Sing Si for me!

Oh Men, where's all your humanity gone,
And the mercy, love, and kindness you claim?
Recall, to a mother they too were born.
Now, lost in woe, you put us to the blame.
In to the woods, you came troubling our peace-
The tranquillity, not to be disturbed,
Peace, it vanished, as my zone, put to tease,
And how much I felt is still to be learned.
Lost in selfishness, needs and wants, so far,
You took my kids, as pure as flower buds.
I've no need to lock them behind bars,
Learning to deny their own heart and blood.
The tears I weep, they would fill the whole sea.
Not a man-eater, it’s a mother’s plea.

Pouring out the golden glow
the full moon of Vesak,
trying to melt in the blooming sky...
Given the courtesy of trees & breeze
Even the birds show their clarity
Reminds the glory of a legendary day
happened the birth, the enlightenment
& the Parinirvana of
the Lord Buddha...
The Vesak full moon...
It is time, it is sign
to collect good deeds
to prove yourself
Pay homage the Triple Gem
renew the Five Shiksha...
Follow the path,
where the Lord Buddha led...
The Buddhism, A philosophy
deep & logical, explains reasons...
All in all, pinched to a quote
"He who lives by the Dhamma,
is protected by the Dhamma"
Sadhu!! Sadhu!! Sadhu!!
Vesak : The full moon day of month of May, in celebration of the events of Lord buddha's life
The Parinirvana : The final deathless state of the Lord Buddha
The Triple Gem : The three Refuges (Buddha, Dhamma, Sanga)
The Five Shiksha : The five precepts
The Dhamma : The teaching of the Lord Buddha
Sadhu : I partake of it
I wanted to put myself in a space occupied by happiness
Sweet embrace of the breeze felt in the sea side of Pahut Bongao near Sanga-sanga
Everyone is happy doing the ritual of Panulak Bala’
The month to throw misfortunes that Tausug believed
Beach full of dancing waves from the sea
Never limit the horizon of falling leaves of trees

All hail! dearst Lions;
From the land of peace
Who plays the Gentlemens' game...
They play for our land,
To make us all proud
Not for money or not for the fame..
Who made thou skins?
So tough and strong
And hearts so calm and mild..
You attack them all
With the bat and the ball,
You make them loose and wild..
All hail dearst SANGA,
The great captain
The sailor of the Lankan Ship...
Adore you MURALI,
And you DILSHAN
Thy bat is more like a whip...!!
AJANTHA is the hero,
And SANATH the golden name
MALINGA is the stylish boy..
MAHELA the magician,
VASS the revolution
Together you bring us Joy..!!!
