Ripped

Here's my entry for #SisiyamNaLinya (#Sisiyam) or #9Liners:

And now the pain is inevitable
Will you lend a hand?
I just don’t know if this is sensible,
Enough to the clout to run,
Escape from the reality and be invincible.
Even just for once I triumph; and
My presence will become powerful;
And my thoughts are medicines that cures the wound
You left when you derelict my core…


-YU


______________________________________
Author's Explanation:

This happens when you came from breakups or from suffering, you totally felt ripped. It hurts like you were being torn apart. Everyone parts of you hurts that you no longer want to wake up and kill yourself just to stop your current state but you can't because you know it should end like that else you have lost not only to the person or the situation who made you fall into your situation but also to yourself. Because giving up on yourself is the ultimate distraction. This you let you feel the worst situation you have but should make you realize that you can still stand and you can still mend from your current situation.

Let's take it by line:

And now the pain is inevitable
Will you lend a hand?

You question and request for help when you no longer can carry the pain.

I just don’t know if this is sensible,
Enough to the clout to run,
Escape from the reality and be invincible.

When you thought your no longer have the strength but you still think on running, away from it all or just running to free off your mind. To be inevitable out of all these hurting.

Even just for once I triumph; and
My presence will become powerful;
And my thoughts are medicines that cures the wound

When you wanted to feel powerful and invincible so you can simply snap your fingers to remove your devastated situation and make you triumph your misery. And pretend, pretend that you can live it all everyday, though hurting; still fighting.

You left when you derelict my core…

Then you tell that person how poor you were when after they have used you and your wealth. This is to tell yourself that you are just used up in the situation and that letting go of the destruction will let you become better.


Hope you liked this poem and can give you inspiration. When you're down the only way is going up!

Project Sisiyam Na Linya

I've been working on some poems lately. Poems that are short and hopefully works to every person who found these poems relational to their day to day lives and their current situation.

I started calling them "Sisiyam na Linya" or #SisiyamNaLinya which mean 9 Liners.

I put a rule in creating these poems before it can be considered Sisiyam. Following are the criteria I've made for you to consider it as one:


  1. One (1) Stanza only.
  2. Nine (9) lines only.
  3. Alternating Rhymes (where line 1, 3,5,7,9 should rhyme and line 2,4,6,8 should rhyme)
It's quite simple and I hope you can create one. It can be of any language, so let have those creative juices work as poems can help us distress and as well as let lose at some point.

Here's my sample and hope you like it:

And now the pain is inevitable
Will you lend a hand?
I just don’t know if this is sensible,
Enough to the clout to run,
Escape from the reality and be invincible.
Even just for once I triumph; and
My presence will become powerful;
And my thoughts are medicines that cures the wound

I will shortly create an article to explain #Ripped.

For those who will be creating Sisiyams please use #Sisiyam or #SisiyamNaLinya or #9Liners.

Kiss Me in the Morning



I have longed for your warmth...
I don't know how to count the days anymore...
It's been awhile since I saw the sun...
It's been awhile
And I am missing when you kiss me in the morning...
Now is like kissing the cold breeze...

This photo was taken by yours truly the day after our unplanned and an aleatory of our Mt. Pulag trip. This is supposedly a climb to Mt. Malasimbo but we decided to just stay at Mt. Talipanan on a rainy over night. Then went down to White Beach for some exciting wave slamming session with Rhose, Ryan, and Tonton.

How to Stay Positive?

I'm one of those people who look things negatively and do positive things out of it. I think I complain too much but I was able to make positive results from complaining. I'm afraid if I don't talk or complain, I get burnt out and ended up messing myself and the things that I love doing. What I fear about myself is that when I no longer question or no longer comment on things, that means I no longer care and I no longer want to put effort on things. That at least I know myself very well. But I do have my weights to keeping my outlook positive and how I turn things positively. I have what I think the most important ingredient: HOPE. If you have hope you can do almost everything and giving up is like nothing but a piece of worry that will not be able to hinder any of your paths. 

I'm bad at telling lies. I can speak more of truth and it hurts others a lot especially those who doesn't know me that long. I hope everyone understands who you are automatically but no one can actually do that unless they work with you. 

My share of positivity is not as equal to what other might have been telling you but I think, it's worth sharing. 

I came from a poor family. I have experienced eating salt over rice. I have experienced without a father figure. I have experienced going to the forest and pick up dried woods at the age of 5 for our family to use as firewood. I have experienced helping fishermen at early morning to ask for some fish I can take back home. I have experienced being left by my mother for a week in the province because she need to go to Manila and prepare her papers so she can work abroad. I have made an income from 20 Pesos to more than 500 Pesos during that week. I have experienced staying on my Aunt's house so I can study. I stayed at my Aunt's not to be a slave but to study, I learned a lot of things from that. I have learned adjust to your situation. There are lots of hardship and experience I can share that this page cannot carry more. Thus, these experiences did not stop me from becoming strong. I used all of this to put up my own principles and my own weights of living. 

I cannot discount people nor judge them because I can't really tell if a person is rich or poor or intelligent or wise or stupid by just looking at them or just mingling with them once. Some people may not be good a some things but they definitely have some thing they are good at. Look at that perspective on people and you will start to be amazed how you can group them together and become very effective. 



I just recently learned that one reason why you wanted to keep some company is simply because you enjoy them and that if you enjoy their company you grow. Hoping you grow but to look further on people's positive views will rather give you more learning and will further help you grow. 

What I'm pointing at is that you try to get these positive outlook out of others and use them to make yourself fall to positivity. It's not a bad thing to try but keeping yourself positive will help your health, your soul, and your social life wealthy. Remember that each part of your life affects the other so better starting thinking on how to become positive, start your day with a smile. Think of what you have that others don't have not what others have that you don't have.

Have a positive reading!
