Call Me Xander

Leaves clenching closely in the tree branch Breathing happily like there's no second chance Hanging in innocence Silently holding stronger than we notice For the leaves gladly dances as the wind approaches The leaves never tired of clapping Like praising the one who made him When storm comes and slap its face It only bow down and pray for God's amazing grace For the leaves know that trials come in many ways As the tree continues to grow The leaves will surely know The sooner the leave will go For thats what the leaves destiny and so Returning from the ground is where the leaves go Accepting the leaves fate is inevitable Willing to let go because the leaves know That as the tree grows A new leave will surely show Taking its inheritance and continue to grow -ABoyNamedXander  Makati | 2014 Photo Taken: Davao City, Abreeza Mall

Lugmok sa hapis na karagatan Hila-hila sa kailaliman ng karukhaan Isang barkong lulan ang pag-asa na maasahan Byahe ay palayo sa buhay na kinasadlakan Inabot ang kamay ng kapitang sakay Maamo ang mukha at may kapayapaang taglay Batid ko ang kanyang pagkadalisay Pagtitiwala at pag-asa ay muling nabuhay Sumalipadpad sa karagatang walang katiyakan Ngunit pag-asa ay naramdaman Pasasalamat at kaluwalhatian Sayo lamang ilalaan

Isang dakot ng gunita Ang sa akin ay natira Nang ikaw ay lumisan Wala na nga bang pag-asa? Pinilit kong kalimutan Mga panahong nagdaan Noong hawak pa ang mundo At magkawing ang ating puso Ngunit ngayon Ano ang iyong iniwan Mga gunita'ng dala ay sakit Sa iyong paglisan Hindi ko na inasam Ang iyong pagababalik Kung dala ay hapis Sana pagiibig ko sayo'y magparam Ngunit wag mag-alala Masasayang gunita Ang magsisilbing gabay Sa puso kong napapagal Naway makamtam mo Ang tunay na kaligayahan Panalangin ko'y matagpuan ang taong magmamahal At di sana maging isang gunita

Dahan dahan lang sa pagmamaneho Wag kang kaskasero Maawa ka naman sa aming mga pasahero Na nagbayad sayo para makarating sa dulo Kung makatapak ka sa brake Parang kang freak Hindi mo ba nakikita kami ay nagpapanic Wag kang ganyan anak ka ng putik Binibilisan mo ang pagmamaneho Nang jeep mong nakakatetano Nagpapakyut ka lang ata sa seksing katabi mo Pero di mo alam napipikon na siya sa pananyansing mo Gusto naming makarating sa lugar na pupuntahan Na buo pa at walang sakit sa katawan Wala kaming balak pumnta sa kung saan man Lalo na sa ospital na ating kahihinatnan Mamang tsuper hinay hinay lang Ang pagmamaneho ay hindi isang paligsahan Mabuti na yung makarating sa paroroonan Ng walang masamang nangyari sa daan

Lady in the Water Fountain | Abreeza Mall, Davao City I never felt a heartbeat      Then you present yourself like a mystery      Out of nowhere You shed some light      On my gloomy night      From that point on You promise to be there      That we will face each day      With love and faith We took a vow      And sealed it       With our heart entwined I look up to the sky      And I see your face      Embracing God's greatest creation Facing the sun      Doing an oblation      Praying from this day on I will love you      Till the last strand of my crowning glory      Fall on me - Xander

Photo taken in Hundred Islands, Pangasinan Decisions... Decisions... You change our life and visions  In every situation We need to make decisions For even a small decision Can change a great nation Decisions...Decisions... You always give me directions My future is shaped by the power of my decision  It is me who will accept and take action By my words and my decision. - Xander

Larawan kuha sa Matabungkay Beach Resort   If you feel that your heart is empty Like no one is there to take away that misery If you think you fight on your own Remember that you are never alone If sadness strikes you big time And you feel that you can't stand cause you don't have a dime Think of those happy memories we've shared I'm sure, at least, that wont make you impaired When you feel lost and I am not around Look inside your heart for in there I can be found When the world turns its back on you I will hold your hands because I will stand beside you  If I bid goodbye because I need to Just remember that I am always here for you Keep in mind that you're never alone You will always be my love and my own

Lord I pray for my friend Whose youthful years were covered by circumstances Lord I lift my friend up to you Who believe that his ways are true But you know where it lead if my friend will continue Lord I lift my friend up to you Whose eyes were clouded by the things the world offers The only bestfriend that I have in this world You know what to do with his life oh Lord I lift my friend up to you Whose faith is shadowed by ungodliness Whose beauty is covered by ugliness You know what to do So please save him from falling to the one we call you-know-who.

I was cleaning my mailbox (a literal box full of old mails I got from friends and loved ones) when  I saw my old notebook and read this old poem I wrote down many years ago. Wow, Its amazing how puppy love inspired me to write such poem. Ngayon hindi ko na magawa. Lol. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I feel col As time goes old Things change so fast Everything won't last I hold your hand They crumble to pieces of sand And as I stroke your hair I know, you won't dare to care A pain I felt Things that love dealt And it left me bleeding Slowly goes to my brain, creeping As I hug you tight I feel and see no light And as I kiss your lips I no longer feel loves depth Why do I feel That your heart is sealed You have left me behind And done it without any sign Now, as I pull you close Your hands drop loose And as I ask for love You shrug and said I no longer have As I see loves bitter end Torture and pain you've send It leaves no direction To my very evol...

When I woke up this morning and preparing myself for my job interview. I ask God, through my thoughts, if this job is really for me. I ask If He had a better plan for my future. I know I wont get an answer immediately. It takes a while. It's a process. It should start in me. Then I evaluate myself for the past few months about things that I did and accomplished, if any. I always found myself in the middle. You know, I always play safe in everything that I do, always making sure that I am pleasing in the sight of others. But what about God? Did I please Him with what I am doing? I guess not. Maybe thats the reason why I am suffering and encountering problems upon problems because I am always in the middle. I never step out of my comfort zone. I never came out according to what God wants me to be. I am never that strong. Never! Not until now. Today, I am praying for peace of mind and serenity of my heart. Lord, give me the strength that I need for me to move on with life. Give...

Minsan naisip ko na sana di na lang kita nakilala Hindi ako nagsisisi ng ibigan ka Ngunit naisip ko na baka masaktan na naman ako Pero di alintana sa kung ano man ang maidulot nito Matagal na kitang kakilala Simula nung ako ay meron pa   Hindi ko man sinasadya na ikaw ay ibalewala Ngunit sa una nating pagkikita para akong ibong nakawala Dulot mo ay saya sa malungkot kung mundo Sigla sa puso ko ay ibinalik mo Ito ang takot ko na baka may magbago Ngunit bahala na basta ang mahalaga ikaw ay nasa puso ko Alam ko hindi mo ako kayang saktan Alam mo din naman na di kita kayang pakawalan Ngunit alam mo at alam ko na sa ating pag-iibigan Ang sakit at puna ay sadyang hindi maiiwasan Kakaibang pag iibigan na sa tingin nila ay mali Pero sa atin ito ay tama at walang pasubali Ngunit anong pakialam natin sa lipunan na mapanghusga Kung ang mahalaga ay tayong dalawa Hindi ko pinapangako na kaya kung ibigay ang lahat Ngunit susuungin ko a...

Habang nakahiga sa duyan na aking tambayan Nagmumuni-muni sa mga nangyari noong nakaraan Sa duyan umusbong pagiibigan na puro kasinungalingan Ngunit sa mismong duyan nangangarap na ako'y iyong balikan Naalala mo pa noong una kitang niyaya Na sumabay sa indayog ng aking duyan at tayo ay magparaya Magiliw kang sumakay sabay hawak ang aking kamay Nangako kang ako'y samahan kahit duyan ay wala nang tibay Ngunit sa paglipas ng panahon pagibig mo ay nagbago Ang dati mong sigla sa duyan ko ay naglaho Ang sabi mo sa akin pagod ka na at nahihilo pa Di naman kaya buntis ka aking sinta? Sagot mo ay "Oo" ngunit di ako ang ama. Wasak ang puso nang iniwan mong nagiisa Sumama ka sa iba na di hamak ako ay mas gwapo pa Sana di na lang umasa na ikaw ay makakasama Luha ay umagos sa aking mga mata habang nagiisa sa duyan na nakatunganga. Ang tulang nasa itaas ay kalahok sa patimpalak ni Tweety BIRD (Iya_khin) na pinamagatang Luha Mo sa Pakont...

Bumuhos na naman ang ulan Nakadungaw sa bintana nakatingin sa kalawakan Minamasdan bawat patak ng ulan Tinitignan bawat dampi ng ulan sa labi ng kalupaan Naalala mo pa ba nung minsang umulan Habang tayo ay naglalakad doon sa may simbahan Bigla kang tumakbo akala ko ako ay iyong iiwan Ngunit sa iyong pagtakbo hawak mo ang kamay ko at payong ay iyong binuksan Kay sarap gunitain ang bawat alaala Kahit sa mga araw na ito ikaw ay nasa bisig na ng iba Masaya na ako sa panahong maulan ang paligid ko Sa nagiisang payong mo ako pinasukob mo. Ngayong wala ka na at maulan na naman Di na nababahala kahit mabasa sa ulan Dahil sa ngayon ako ay nagsasaya Habang naliligo kapiling ang mahal kung kakosa Kaya ang aking paalala Kahit na bumuhas man ang ulan sa tuwina Wag mabahala kahit na mabasa Dahil payong ng iba ay nakahanda Ngunit kung ulan ay lumala at payong ay wala Di pa rin nababahala ang puso kung balisa Sapagkat ang araw ay sisikat ng dakila At tan...

You see me as a paper Clean and bright Sometimes with lines Not always white You can write anything into it Any words that might fit You can erase if you don't like it And then maybe tear into pieces when you really hate it You can cut me in any styles and angles In any shape with scissors, cutters and punchers You always write your love story But hurting in the end is a must and necessary I'm like a paper to you Sometimes nothing, sometimes with value Sometimes crumpled Always burned

Below is a poem dedicated to my colleagues from my previous company whom I wasn't able to say "thank you" for the wonderful memories and great things they did for me. Thanks guy! I miss you all. **** Ako ay may mga kaibigan Sa opisina na aking pinasukan Hindi man ako nagtagal sa opisinang yan Ngunit pagkakaibigan ay naubuo ng walang pag aalinlangan Unang nakilala si Jervy na kay sigla Katabi sa upuan, kakwentuhan at katawanan na kay saya Ang tawag sa akin ay Kuya Dahil sa totoo lang ako ay mas matanda sa kanya At dito na nagsimula na ang iba ay nakilala Si Yumi na kay kulit, swabi kung humirit Walang tatalo sa kanyang pangungulit Kaya goodluck sayo kapag sya ay bumirit

Lord, you have given your life for me It's not because you want it but because you want to set me free Free from sin the world has given Which started from the very beginning You have given up your being You Because you want me to be like you And now I can see the purpose and the reason Because you want me to know the truth and that is to believe in you. I surrender my life and my wealth I surrender my selfish motives and my guilt I have given up my life for someone I love What more to someone who gave his life without a doubt From now on I will take my stand according to your word And be by your side till my life cannot hold Everything I can think of I find in you Believing in your promise as its always true I lift my burden unto you Your loving grace will see me through For I know that when I surrender to you My life will be renewed and became the son that you want me to
