2nd birthday

November 17 is just around… it’s Jailex Joachim’s 2^nd birthday..His 1^st was a self proclaimed successful event and we’re planning to do it again in other setting… Talay Mental Rehabilitation Center is located in Talay, Dumaguete City, with 25 Bed capacities but accommodated 60 clients in this present time and roughly 300 outpatients. NOPH Extension Psychiatric Ward personnel disclosed that the patients of the psychiatric ward are only receiving a 10-peso budget each for a day. We have seen it personally and it’s kindda frustrating knowing that the government hasn’t done anything to at least provide them with their needs and protect their rights inspite of their disabilities.

That’s why we are appealing again to your better nature. For just a day, we are hoping to feed them with the foods we usually ignore coz it’s bountiful for us and foods that not only feed their stomachs but also replenish their souls and basically give them a break for their usual daily routine.

“no gifts too small that’s been given by the heart”

for

Sole Philo

so young, yet so genuinely true
amazingly sudden, yet so alluring
A love that was unexpectedly stunning
embedded in my heart forever
Beyond anyone's forbearing.

I am her only love
so she promised to keep that eternally
and i will mirror that promise too,
for all i gave her was rain and regrets
still i have the rest of my life to love her more.

for she's my wife and my life,
the one who truly loves and understands,
who enhances my potentials and endowments.
she reads and searches my soul with her touch,
so she can ease the pains that i kept with-in
An agony that has been stock for so long.

For she's the mother of our child
Bravely bare and paused her dreams,
Compassionate and loving but tough as well
never heard her complains to meet his needs
a mother with a magical kiss that alleviates any aches

a perfect mother and so i bring the curtains down.

poetry (for my sons)

River Trek

Before I step into the river,
To find the falls that drops forever.
Someone's face flash into my mind,
I know he's someone I left behind.

The water current was very strong,
God i hope that nothing will go wrong.
I still want to see my handsome son,
As he grows and lives to see the sun.

As I trek into your river bed,
There's a lot of things that I have said.
It's nothing compared to what I felt,
First time I saw my son in a quilt.

Thank God for my adrenalin gland,
I have reached the place where I have planned.
pains, anxiety and uncertainty,
perished by your miraculous beauty.
