Ang Traydor Kong Puso

Nandyan kana naman...
             tinutukso tukso ang aking puso...
                                    Ilang ulit nabang iniiwasan ka, di na natuto.

      Yung totoo? How many times do you have to convince yourself that there is a chance for the both of you but not in this lifetime? Ilang beses mo na bang sinabi sa sarili mo na tama na, Kakalimutan mo na siya...pero likod palang niya, ALAM NA! You tried to ignore the erratic beating of your heart everytime he's around. You still couldn't be yourself ever if you try to 'cause you're too conscious. Even afraid of committing a little bit of mistake kasi bawas ganda points! How many times did you try convincing yourself that you don't love him? That this is ONLY some kind of admiration because he's just a good person (labas sa ilong!), nothing more. At humahanap kana ng anything na ikakaturn off mo. (na kahit na anong makita mo, tanggap mo!)

     You kept your distance. You accepted the fact that you aren't his kind of girl. "Overqualified kasi ako." pampalubag loob mo nalang sa sarili mo dahil ang totoo minsan nanliliit kana at tinatanong kung ano bang mali sayo. Alam mong hindi ka niya gusto at umuusok ang ilong mo kapag tinuturing ka niyang parang bata. Sa kabila ng lahat ng iyon, dumating sa puntong sinabi mong "wala na akong nararamdaman para sa kanya. As in wala na." Hmmmm...wala na. Pero hindi ka pinaniniwalaan ng mga tao sa paligid mo. Bakit? Alam mong okay kana eh, dumating na ang pagkakataon na nakakausap mo na siya. 

    You can now able to meet his gaze and do your thing without any inhibitions. Oh, that feeling! You lived your life as if you were deaf both ears, to the whispers of your heart, numb from the unknown pain. You let yourself not to be drowned for he's not willing to save you. But at the end of the day, you realized that it wasn't all easy, denying this and that...pretending like you don't care. Sometimes it's hard to act as if you don't see anything and most of the times it's hard to hide that you're really hurting inside.

    *sigh*... There are times when you think of going somewhere far but is it all worth it? Ang umiwas? Ang lumayo? Is it right to give up one of your greatest dreams just to get rid of the pain you feel every time you meet him? 'Cause you know, you're going nowhere. Minsan nakakasama ng loob na nasa harap kalang niya ngunit parang wala siyang nakikita. So, to save your pride, you act as if nothing's wrong when you know there is. Trinatraydor ka na naman ng puso mo. You are trying to control your feelings but it keeps on growing. You keep on walking away when all you want to do is to embrace it. Pilit mong tinatakasan ang isang bagay na alam mong mahirap nang tanggalin sa sistema mo. Dumadating din sa puntong suko kana pero bakit hindi ang puso? You can't do anything though it's not a hopeless nor helpless case. It's just that your feet keep on running and running only to find out you're still leading to him. And the thing you've got to do is to give in....

     Minsan ang hirap talaga na kahit anong pilit mong lumayo at hindi ka sangayunan ng puso mo, babalik at babalik ka parin sa kung ano o sino ang itinitibok nito. Ano ba ang magagawa mo? Kaya mo bang magpatuloy sa pagiwas kung ito na mismo ang trumatraydor sayo?

More Than Enough

It’s mournful how things vanished in an unexpected time,
When I only know that loving you is my sweetest crime.
Reminiscing the days that we are still together,
And happiness and devotion could last forever.

How could life be so unfair and treacherous to me,
When I just wanna do is to love you endlessly.
It's just uproarious how you treated me like nothing,
When I treated you someone special ’till the ending.

It’s puzzling how you left me hanging without answers,
Just like resolving and interacting with numbers.
I, I did understood you in as much as I can,
Ever since the chemistry and gravity began.

Could you please reiterate how do I unlove you?
Where I already found happiness when I’m with you?
It’s painful when a person left you with priceless smiles,
Is also the person who left you with no goodbyes.

Loving you like we’re already in the afterlife,
Is one pride that I could bring for the rest of my life.
I lost my sanity from roads being rough and tough,
‘Coz loving you without limits is more than enough.

To the One Who Left with No Goodbyes

I never expected things to come this far. Never expected you’d end up things like this.

     I was staring at the deepest horizons of my room, reminiscing the best moments of our lives. Three years ago, First week of November, we first met at a coffee shop where we had a good conversation with a cold cup of frappuccino. We shared different stories about our life. My eyes sparkled and heart beat signifying that it will open its doors again. The time that we had a tender affection with each other, it all then started with a beautiful relationship.

     We broke up that fast because of misunderstanding and loss of maturity. We broke up promising that I’ll finish my studies first and have a good job in the future. That didn’t end up our communication because we know to ourselves that having still communications would help each other’s lives. I came across failed relationships after you, but still, the flame is still there to keep our hearts burning. Whenever I am with you, I become weak, you’re every breath that I take and when you stare at me, my whole world stops revolving and heart stops beating. You are just my sweetest downfall, my no ordinary love.

     I was with you every time you encounter a problem, situations that you needed someone to converse to. I didn’t leave you though we are miles away from each other. I was so overwhelmed when you told me to think of my future and stop my drinking habits, and so I did. Times when you say harsh words towards me, I don't mind it because for me, I love you. You even degrade my whole personality but I don’t mind it, because, I love you. I apologise even I didn’t do anything wrong. Because you know why? Our affection with each other is more important than my ego and pride, because for me, you need more understanding. Things went very, very fast never knew that things do really have limitations. 

     I brought you home because, for me, you are special. I introduced you to my friends because you are worthy and I loved you without regrets because I know you are different. Remember the time when you were here? The only thing that I know is serving you to the best that I can, I cooked though I possess poor-cooking skills. We exchanged conversations regarding present life. It was just pure happiness that I felt from you. Night came, we went out to unwind and just forget the world for a while. Morning, as soon as we wake up, we were sharing stories that happened last night. You even told me that it's one of the best nights ever, whenever we are together.

     Days passed by, we planned that our careers must be stable in able for us to enter the relationship that once happened in our lives. You motivated me to be a more mature individual and yes, I did my part to become worthy. I never get tired of saying I love you and I miss you until the time you told me, “I don’t remember the time that I said that.” I accepted all your degrading and heart crashing words, because for me, I know you have problems. I understood your situations, every bit of your situations. I gave you time to realise your mistakes and just shoot down your ego. Things worsen as days pass by. Arguments that I never answered you back because I don’t want petty things put on a big deal matter. I tried understanding you to the best that I can. I even asked you: “What’s the problem?”

     I got a tightening, cold feelings that binded my heart. I promised that whatever happens, I won’t leave you even if time comes you’re pushing me away, I will still try to understand you. It was just so painful how things went fast, happiness in a very-short span of time. Never knew that the time you came here was also the last kiss, the last hug the sweetest hello and last goodbye. It doesn’t matter how much pain I’m feeling right now, I still can take it. You left me hanging, I still don’t mind it because for me, I love you. You may realise your mistakes or not, I am still here, the one who understands you, the one who cares for you and the one who loves you even you left with no goodbyes.

     When you love, you take risk, when you enter a relationship, getting hurt is included. At the end of the day, you are still responsible for your own happiness. Two things to enjoy life: Never expect and never assume. Span of years together is not that important but rather the experiences and memories that you shared with one another matter the most.

To My Dearest...

Let me offer you my love,
It is the only thing I have.
Please accept it my dear,
There’s no time for fear.

I will love you beyond eternity
And I promise you it’s not a fantasy.
This is how great my love can be
To a woman, who is so dear to me.

Everlasting can be a clear definition
Of what my love has envisioned.
You, walking in complete harmony
To the tune of a perfect symphony.

Sending our vows to each other
Right in front of our great provider
Is a sign of a couple’s intention
To preserve a love for perfection.

Engaging my remaining life with you,
Gave color to a meaningless view.
Your presence is truly a delight,
For you’ve given me a new sight

Loving you is our greatest story
And we’ve made a piece of history.
Looking back at how it all began,
Reminds me of a lovely risk I’ve done.

Love at its Best

Am I dreaming of a beautiful light
Every time you're in my sight?
Such a clever illusion
That provides a doubtful confusion.

Reality knocks my consciousness
Telling me that you're a true princess.
A girl surrounded by lovers
Offering you bunch of flowers.

Longing for your love is a challenge
That broke my inner silence.
Awakening my sleeping actions
And defeating my crazy frustrations.

Emphasizing my deep emotion
Shows love without hesitation.
This defines the word infinity
And will, suddenly, complete our destiny

New and everlasting love was created.
Out of an artist, you were painted.
Like a flower that blooms prettily
Making lovers to fall so easily.

Engaging in a commitment
Is, indeed, an achievement.
Especially if it is you,
Oh! such a wonderful view!

Judge Me No More

Empty state of emotions
Caused by worldly frustrations.
Here I am helpless and alone
With this solitary throne.

Being judged is what I often receive
From voices who always perceive
Outright appearance and actions
Without verifying substantial fractions.

What do they get from such habit?
I guess it’s purely entertainment.
But, what do I get from such judgment?
A broken heart and a spirit in lament.

Every careless word can wreck me
And every idea can transform me.
But, I swear they can not change me
For I know my own personality.

If only you know how crazy this world is.
Overflowing with perfect [im]perfectionists.
If only a clear mirror can help you realize
How I see you in my very own eyes.

Your wounds are just the same as mine.
But judging you isn’t my lifeline.
I have to leave you now with your word play
While I enjoy my life starting this day.

Faces of Culture


Description:      
     This animation was meant to be an entry to Globaltronics' first ever National Digital Arts Awards and it won first place in the motion graphics student category. Besides that, I took it as a challenge and as an opportunity for my artistic growth because I have never produced a full animated short.

     The contest offered many themes, I chose Philippine culture. For the animation, I wanted to show that, for me, the Philippines has a magical, playful, beautiful, and very colorful culture. I used different symbols in the video that represented these traits from the masks to the mural. I wish I could've put in more, but I had to limit the length of the animation due to time restraints.

     The reason I specifically aimed for 2D animation, was because I wanted my audience to have an appreciation for Filipino 2D animation, which isn't as shown much in today's media. 

Process:
     Producing an animated short that uses frame by frame animation can be overwhelming for a first timer, like me. The first step was pre-production. That meant storyboarding the scenes, actions and the overall pace of the video. After numerous iterations, I then moved on to the actual animation which involved the drawing and coloring of every frame and movement. I was also painting the backgrounds at the side when I wasn't animating. After finishing the animation, I did the music for the video. I casually play the piano, but I have never considered going into scoring, so it posed another challenge for me. The next and final step was compositing and editing, which involved arranging and tying all the elements together with to produce a video. And voila, that's the basic process in producing an animation, more or less.

Life Lessons: A Year of Risks, An Eye Opener

     2014 has been a tough one for me especially the 1st two quarters of the year. I've been in between jobs for the last one and a half years, holding my faith that I could live and support myself and eventually my family when I decided to quit from my previous job to pursue the thing I want to do.  My family, although they support me, was not really happy with my decision and kept on reminding me that I should have a stable job. But I still went on and chased my dream. So, I helped myself by starting a home-based business.

    I went through roller coaster kind of emotions within that period. I came to the point where I was in doubt and kept on asking myself, “What am I doing?”, “Is it really the right thing to do?”, “Could I really make it without being employed?” and the like. Those questions frightened me but somehow being at that point of my life taught me some significant things which helped change my mindset to become more focused and positive in the coming years.

1.      It is better to try than not to do it at all.

      Deciding to quit from a job that offers the comfort and stability of what a regular work can give (regular working hours, weekend offs, monthly salary) took me a lot of guts and self convincing. I was standing at the edge of the cliff ready to take off though I know for a fact that my wings weren't well prepared but my heart and the desire to start doing. So, I jumped off to the unknown and followed the direction of my dream. I didn't let fear block my way of reaching the things that I once thought were unreachable. I learned that if you want something, you should act on it. Don’t be afraid to take risks of putting things into action. In the end you’ll thank yourself for trying and not giving up.

2.      Know when to spend and when to splurge.
          
     I’m a self-confessed impulsive buyer. I used to shop at a cosmetic store where I only intended to buy one item amounting about 300.00 but I walked out of that particular shop spending more than 2k. Mind you, it happened not just once. Happiness was gone when I realized that I spent my money into some spur-of-the-moment-buying. What did I get? Nothing.   I’m satisfied but guilt took over when the urge to buy subsided. 
    I can say that the time when I had my start up taught me to become wiser with my finances. I learned to allocate what I have left in my bank account. I made sure that my cash flows even it wasn't that much. And every time I buy something I always ask myself, “Is this a want? Or a need?”, somehow I’m able to resist the temptation.
   You can sometimes splurge for a thing or two (nothing’s wrong with that!) but I guess it is important that you become aware of your expenditures. Monitor your cash in and cash out. Save and Invest! I learned that every cent is important, yes, and I came to realize that money is really a need but never ever allow it to run your life. Spend it wisely!

3.   You find yourself during tough times.

      When I set my eyes to what I had in mind, I know that it would be a bumpy ride and sure that I was going to travel it alone. Most people talked like what I was trying to do is impossible. Not practical. I couldn't defend myself by my words. All I did was to prove them that nothing is impossible when you have a goal. I believed in me. I believed in what I can do and was able to know myself more. It built my strengths and turned my weakness into a weapon that I never thought I could use as my guard.

4.      Some things don’t go as planned.

       Yes. You never really know what’s on the other side of the rainbow. A pot of gold? You bet! No one’s in control of life and it can be a lot tricky. You never know what will happen next. I jumped to the unknown carrying the vision of the future I wanted to create. Though I followed that way, there were unexpected turns to where I landed. I didn't want to go back. So, I chose to continue walking to the unfamiliar route.
      And it all made sense now. Sometimes you just have to do what your heart doesn't want to for you to tell what you really want.

5.      There is a time for everything!

         My experience made me reflect that there is really a time for everything. God will give the thing that you've been praying for when the time is perfect. I may not be where I wanted to be right now but I know that my feet won’t stop running until I get there. And I will get there. My heart is still burning with that desire to put my dreams into reality.

     Life is teaching us to be patient. There will come a phase when you will feel stagnant, like nothing’s happening right. Maybe it is intended to happen to help you grow and mold you to be the stronger version of yourself. 

      These lessons in the past year made me see the beauty behind every struggles, the joy that comes with waiting and the reasons for the not now's and never's. And these will surely serve as my guide to stay on track this 2015. Cheers to a great year ahead!

Ikaw

Kay sarap balikan ng mga ala-ala,
Sa t’wing ikaw ay laging naaalintana.
Hugis ng iyong mukha ay hindi mawari,
Sa mga panahong tayo’y nananatili.

Hindi maintindihan ang siklab ng puso,
Sa ating mga damdamin na naglulukso.
Araw at gabi na walang humpay ang saya,
Tila ayaw nang matapos ang pagsasama.

Sinta ko, ang mapupungay mong mga mata,
Ay sapat na para saaking pagka-aba.
Ang iyong iba at matatamis na ngiti,
Ay kawangis ng tala sa dilim ng gabi.

Hindi man sumangayon ang tadhana sa atin,
Nandiyan ang tamang oras para tayo’y batiin.
Batid ko’ng malaman at sabihin sa iyo,
Pagmamahal ko ay wala pa rin’g nagbago.

Gaano man tayo katagal pagtagpuin,
Aking dasal, huwag sana akong biguin.
Mahagkan man kitang muli balang araw,
Pangako man, ang mamahalin lang ay ikaw.

When I Met You

     Guards up! – Here we go again. Same old…same old me. I’m building new walls around my heart, but this time no more bricks—all Concrete.

     Have you experienced having sleepless nights, tossing and turning in bed, Butterflies tickling your stomach, thoughts of someone who weakens your soul and makes you melt just that? In my case, for the nth time, I do! But what makes it different this time? It’s the thought that I’ve seen him before, not in my dreams or in our past lives (but somewhere in Manila). How I’m suddenly aware of my own heart beat when I heard him utter my name. How the moment froze and everything…everyone was in slow mo, literally. How my sight narrowed where all I could see was the man standing in front of me. – Here goes my heart again!

     If you were to ask me if I like the feeling…YES! I really like or should I say love the feeling it brings, but am I to risk my heart to be hurt again on this what you so called one-sided-kind-of –love? That’s one of the reasons why I keep on holding back. I’m afraid of being hurt again, without them knowing that they are the reason of my tears. I’m afraid of wasting my time again just staring from afar and letting those words of love slip away…I don’t want to rely on destiny anymore. God brought me where I should be but all the answers are in my hands…

     I’ve been waiting for the right man to come and I want to believe that I just met him, that it’s all a matter of time…but, but, but… I want to spare my heart from the pain and my eyes from all the tears. How I wish he also felt the same way I do the time I met him. I want it all to be real this time. If I’m going to let myself make believe, I’ll be just letting him in in my system. If he only felt it…I’ll let myself fall ‘cause I know there’s someone to catch me before I hit the ground.

Not until then, I’ll secure a great wall before my heart.



P.S. I was enchanted to meet you! <3

God's Living Masterpiece

Once I saw a masterpiece,
A very beautiful piece;
Made by a brilliant sculptor,
He's also my creator.

She is a piece of an art,
That can be loved by my heart;
She puts a smile on her face,
A reason for me to praise.

She is more than a painting,
That for me, she's amazing;
She is more than a drawing,
That keeps my heart on going.

Her beauty is like a gold,
I'll spend my time just to hold;
I would sacrifice myself,
Just to put her on my shelf.

Oh! beautiful masterpiece,
Let me be your missing piece;
I promise you'll be complete,
Every time you're incomplete.

Life Behind Cold Bars

It seems that life compacted its heart to me;
Now I start and accept where I used to be.
There were no doors, exit or holes to escape
but one thing that I could do is to be brave.

Brute days subsist since I became blood-thristy -
mood bursts and heart starts throbbing like mom grizzly.
Never knew that everything has conclusion
And the adepts would ask its derivation.

Darkness prevailed thy sophisticated mind
and thy body is crested with hatred bind.
Alack! Oh how ridiculous life could be?
When I can't enjoy beyond reality?

Oh! Eminent heavens! Hear thy bootless cries!
Utter on to me that all of these are lies.
Oh? Will you still consider me as your son?
Even society assumed that I’m gone?

The length of time has weakened thy heart and soul
And death would forsooth come to compass its role.
Found out that life must go on with pain and scars
And endure thy fate of life behind cold bars.

Change the World

In a world filled with humanly horror,
Here I am in search of my own endeavor.
I want to shed light in this lightless room;
I need to witness life at its greatest bloom.

In this monotonous reality, here I am walking
Trying to find the answer to my own calling.
There's no glitz and glamour to where I'm heading
Because an ultimate sacrifice is what I'll be giving.

With all my remaining resources, I fearlessly stand.
I know I can revive this lifeless jungle in my own hands.
There's no stopping me now, this needs to be done.
But the world keeps on darker, all my energy's gone.

Devastation has been around every corner;
Innocent lives have been wasted by danger;
Madness evolved through man's greed for power,
Leaving my fellowmen die of too much hunger.

Everything's insane now. I do need help for this.
My intention is clear but it takes a lot of risk.
Yes, changing the world is the task I chose,
But I also need a lot of companion at most.

Where are you now, my fellow change-makers?
Let's join our forces and become earth shakers!
Together, we can create great and noble things.
Lets seam our tomorrow before the world rings!

This kind of journey have made me understand
That I can't change the world with my own hands.
Altering the earth's course requires a lot of people
Sharing the same intention, passion, and soul.
