ToilI am as constant as the stars.
From your soul I shall never depart.
The fever grips her in large part
in the phase of popular charts.
For you I am forever in debt
about the things you never said.
Issue warnings of winter’s dread.
To see you is my one regret.
She bathes inside the plastic jar,
taking the joke much too far.
It...

Imperial Manila As I See ItManila the Imperial City of the Philippines
It is like a mirror reflecting itself
What you see in Manila is you see the Philippines
There you see high rise glass building
The modern mask of modernity
You see commercial establishment
The breathtaking Mall of Asia
The century old China town is here
Manila is different for me
I see Manila the old walled city
I...

It's work that puts King in the Kong....

Dear Federal Senators, I am asking you to protect Medicaid becauseour home care workers would lose their essential care taking jobs and their
clients would also lose their necessary services.
If you are on Medicaid, you should send your own cards to your Senators.
They are more interested in providing unnecessary tax cuts for billionaires
who don't really need them instead of protecting the very best interests
of lower income...

I Want To Tell You, ButThere’s a hell of a lot going on inside my mind
I wish I could tell you everything
The way you
always used to listen.
I wish I could run to you and share all of it
From my tiniest wins to my biggest falls
I’m dying to hear just one line from you:
“Say... I’m listening.”
All these unsaid words
They’re building up...

Lessons I FollowIf someone walk further than you
Do not be offended. It always happen.
Take advantage of you being alone
It's good for the mind and health
If you're not happy with your work,
Quit. Find job that suits your will
Don't compromise with your enemies
This will find them more insulting
Don't be humble. Be a personality.
Always regard importance of yourself
Work always with...

A Stroke of Bad LuckThe elderly Elmer Brown dwelled alone, like a solitary tree on a hill,
Loving quiet, glazed life still, in burgundy, sunset moments of until.
A widower, Elmer Brown had generations of offspring, living far away,
Feeling fresh, foreign breezes, in fruitful terrains, younger than today.
Though retired, Elmer had his hobbies, which gave much satisfaction;
Like a storm of sudden,...

Value Of Music To MeI really like to listen to music when I do home chores:
It inspires, motivates, relaxes, recharges me
Staying alone, I put headphones in and think
When it's bad, when it's good, painful, joyful,
When in doubtful, anxious and loneliness sets in
It helps thoughts flow in the right direction
That's the right thing I do, I feel...
