MK

It trembled my knees everytime our eyes met.
Those smiles you've shared weakened my strength.
Whatever that kind of strong nerve exist,
Still can't be a weapon this beautiful feelings to resist.

You remind me of those younger years I have had,
You left a special memory here in my heart.
Whether you knew or you just don't like to be part.
Being mine in my dream lighten the burdens I have had.

Thank you MK for letting me.
You know what it really means.
YPM.

CAN'T MOVE

Wa ko kahibaw unsay nahitabo.
Nekalit lang ka ug kawagtang.
Mukalit ug tunga unya mukalit ug kawagtang.
Tagulilong man tingali ka.

You always shut me off.
Always...
Wala ka kahibaw ana?

At the end of the day,
Biyaan lang ko nimu ug dihadiha.
Puro lang Hello's.
Pwede ba Gudbye's napud...

CLUELESS

Standing still here clueless,
Taking my time to feel your existence.
Calling you for several times, and just keeping on.
Sudden realization flashed.
It maybe senseless have become, I knew since then.
Filling in the satisfaction of one's heart desire,
Is my ultimate sin. Was it?

I kept on running.
Never mind the raindrops at every inch of my skin.
That cold wet night turned my dream into just a dream.
Maybe you'll never know,
The numbness of my heart emptied my world again this time.

Standing at the finish line, standing still.

1ST TALK: GOD'S LOVE

It was rough and rainy,
I could almost hear my heartbeats.
There were evils around,
I could burst in anger.
That was new and strange,
On my way to the most important session
I could attend.

When I stepped down from the tricycle,
I saw angels at the entrance.
Those smiles wiped away my anxieties,
And made me forget the rough road I've been.

Wow, I was the first to arrive
And wrote my name on first.
They all invited and welcomed me in
As I hear music in my ears Psalm 25.
I saw happiness on familiar faces
And gladness to those who were new.

I sat down in front,
I heard the talks,
I smiled,
I cried,
I listened and
I shared.

That was awesome,
That was great,
That was God's Love.

8th of December

It's been a month when you said "Yes",
And feels great to tracked the scariest blades maze.
You did came in with those yummy candies,
To complete the craziest puzzle pieces.
And in just a few bonds before 8th of December days
You carefully drove me to end my quest.

We both know this is not perfect but it will be...
I know there would be dark and hazy vision along the way.
Just a promise for you to hold on to, That in the end,
I'll be standing alone with my whole self at the beginning,
To fulfill a promise and live a dream in my most sincere scene.
And with humility, it would be witnessed by whole community.

I told you from that 8th, It would never be that easy.
It could be rough, windy and stormy.
Tears may overflow somewhere along the road way,
That may caused troubles to you and to many.
You may tempt to run through of cutting the knot easily.
But remember my words and try to Take 5 in safety.

Take 5
1st, Stop and Look
2nd, Think Through the Task
3rd, Identify the Hazards
4th, Control and Communicate
5th, Do the Job Safely

Facing the San Juanico Bridge, the Anibong Shell Depot where my Perimeter Fence Construction Project is located. San Juanico Bridge is part of the Pan-Philippine Highway and stretches from Samar to Leyte across the San Juanico Strait in the Philippines. Its longest length is a steel girder viaduct built on reinforced concrete piers, and its main span is of an arch-shaped truss design. With a total length of 2.16 kilometers, it is the longest bridge in the Philippines spanning a body of seawater.The bridge was heavily damaged by Typhoon Haiyan in November 2013 but repaired.

The Perimeter Fence that enclosed Shell fuel products and its facilities  were totally crushed down during Haiyan Typhoon. This body of water in front of me was the same water that broke the old P-Fence of Shell Depot into pieces and neighboring residences last year 8th day of November 2013 when a strong typhoon Haiyan "Yolanda" hit this little Baranggay 70, Rawis Anibong of Tacloban City. People lost their homes and loved ones.

 

 

 

 

It's been five (5) months already since the first time I stepped on this place to attend the pre-bidding for the construction of perimeter fence and spent sleepless nights to finish my quotation and be competitive on my final proposed cost way back early this year. I did all my best with prayers to win the bid and won. Before participating any bids, the company prepared me and was sent to a series of training and acquire the  needed code names/profession in the field of petroleum industry and somehow could serve Shell company globally. Just this January of 2014 I got my certification as Accredited Safety Officer and just I started the project I got the highest profession Accredited Project Supervisor. Last June 2014 I also took the training and exam and got the highest score, we were just three(3) who passed out of fifty (50) participants for QA/QC and aim to take the interview to achieve the code name as Accredited QA/QC officer and for minor I am also a certified Scaffolder and Tank Cleaner.

A contractor of Shell could not be given any project without the following key personnel:

1. Accredited Safety Officer
2. Accredited Project Supervisor
3. Accredited QA/QC
4. Accredited Scaffolder
5. Accredited Electrician
6. Accredited welders and
7. Accredited Tank Cleaners

I admit and thankful that if it were not because of you, these names in my head were just nothing, But for clarification, this not mean that this permit you to treat me the way you do. Let me remind you that you are just an instrument to educate me on your way to millions. I don't deserved those malicious words against me for every conversation you have with the principals. They told me and I heard it loud. Why is it impossible for you to accept that I am standing to where I am now not because of your bucks but it's because that I work hard enough. It hurts though, I still have my commitment to my project - Lucky You.

Anibong Tacloban taught me many things even changed me. I discovered things...found things.
Mysteries behind this P-Fence project brought an end and to a beginning. Tacloban people were not as I thought they were. They welcomed me and embraced me as if nothing happened. They are my friends. They are good. You know, it really feels great that I was able to helped a friend here who experienced the darkest moment in his life during Haiyan. He lost his home and his wife. His place is just approximately 5 meters away from the two giant ships that landed caused by the storm surge. I was able to impart my skills with the help of my men who voluntarily helped my friend (Kuya lan2x) build his new house as he moved on, recovered and somehow could get his home back.

Along with these people who tried to live their new life is mine to live the most precious page in my new established story. Thank you Taclobanons. You did a great job by standing still and get through those unlikely events and served as an inspiration to many in your own little ways.

Yes I Found You

As you sat there alone on the four corner of the Temfacil here in Anibong Depot at exactly 4:00 'o clock in the afternoon with your PPE, laptop, camera, phone, logbook and a pen on top of your table, blankly stared the rough finish controversial firewall, came from nowhere, those words from the very first poem you wrote way back in year 2000 flashed before me. When I look up the firewall that you've been staring at for a while, different figures formed out of the rough plastered cement was shown.

Mask...mask...mask...a deep breath that you have just released out of different stories played in your head. Mask...mask...mask. I can't believe it, you've grown just like the way you behave in the dark and now shieldless exposing ones own uniqueness. Those different forms remind me of all the stories behind those hidden smiles and joyfullness of your heart everytime you passed them by and smell their perfume. The private conversation between your heart and mind, those laughter, anger, insecurities and jealousy you've spent to yourself while groping in the dark. So, where are those masks now that you've been wearing for years?

" I left them miles away from here two (2) years ago. I went away to find the real true one to get answers to your queries and somehow live the world you want me to be. But I'm sorry, it never happens. What I did, I tore all my shields, told people who were with me and accepted the reality and the truth about myself. So, I gained confidence, don't care of the people who'll try to step and bring me down. Again, apologies for all disappointments, I can't help it, really. Because this is me and this is what i want."

If that would be the case, then I'll pray for your happiness. Be yourself is the best thing you can do and then be good.
