How Come?


I’m no love expert.

I even suck at relationships (I think). Don’t wanna talk about it here in full detail, but based on track record, one might think & assume that I had been a terrible boyfriend, and that something’s wrong with me.

So who am I to give love advices?

A close friend of mine is currently having problems with his Singaporean girlfriend. I don’t wanna give details, but he’s been inviting me to meet up and asking me for advice. Same with my colleague who’s heart just recently got broken by her used-to-be boyfriend. She’s not really asking me directly for advice, but I think she’s already gotten comfortable pouring her heart out after all the pain that this guy has caused her.

I dunno, but I’m just seeing a pattern here. Even my friends in high school and college would usually go to me if they need some dose of comfort and advice. It’s not that I’m complaining, but…

How come I don’t usually follow my own?

Luha ng Isang Sawi sa Pag-ibig


Ikaw ang siyang dahilan
Lungkot na nararamdaman
Hindi maintindihan
Bakit nagawang saktan
Ang pusong labis na nagmamahal

Anong nagawang kasalanan
At ako'y iyong iniwanan
Bakit ikaw ay lumayo
Paano na ang mga pangako
Na hindi magbabago ang pag-ibig mo

Pinilit kong limutin ka
Ngunit hindi ko magawa
Meron bang dapat sisihin
Sa nangyari sa atin

Wala na ba talagang pag-asa
Na ikaw ay magbabalik pa
Paano na ako
Kakayanin ko ba ito
Ang mabuhay na wala ka
At nag-iisa
O paano na?



This is my entry to Iya_Khin's contest. Hindi talaga ako mahilig gumawa ng tula, and my real intention for this entry was to make it into a song. Kakausapin ko sana 'yung kaibigan kong musikero to prepare a piano accompaniment for this pero baka hindi ko ma-meet ang deadline. So I just recorded an acapella version. Check it out below. :)
