You Don't Really Know Me Very Well

I know the verdict is no matter what you say, at the end of the day it's still on how I perceive myself. But can I just say something? How I wish I just could let it all pass but in one way or another, I'd love that at times you also shut up your mouth.Cos sincerely speaking, you don't have the right to assess my whole personality just because you've seen a tiny portion of myself.Yes, to some aspects you may be deemed right. But geez! I dint even ask for your opinions and rationalizations. So insensitive of you actually. The more I'm exposed to you guys, the more I find my true friends of great value. Still, THANK YOU! :-)

I Give To You My Sincerest Applause

People take in much delight
Not knowing the consequences of their actions
Only to realize they are already putting up a fight
With their make believe judgments and conclusions.

Why is it some people are like that?
Then I answered myself
Maybe because if the world's filled with responsible people
It would be nothing but so flat.

Somehow, somewhere
Random thoughts keep on rushing and playing in my mind
As what my father told me,
"Each kind of people exists to test our existence and it's your choice if you'll persist or resist."

Merely realizing the fact that the good ones are always misunderstood
It always made me look up to Jesus
His struggle was more than mine
And that I should be reminded that in the end it will always be fine.

Yes, I keep on convincing myself
The best is yet to come
This pain won't last.
All things are temporary.
Waves will calm
Peace will reign
And when the time for healing has finally arrived
I'm gonna give them my sincerest applause
For without them, 
I would not have made it this far.

Changes in Time

-Frances Carmille Alpuerto-

Times flies so swiftly

As I was gazing in the lone skies

I wish you were here physically with me.

Lots of thoughts came to my mind

They have been dancing there from time to time.

I have been feeling lonely and blue

The moment I think about you

I hope I can get it through.

Oh why?

You were the first one to thrill me like no one else can

Yet you were also the one who can make me a super depressed lass.

I guess I don't deserve this kind of treatment

A lot of guys like me yet I keep on resisting.

Sometimes, I just can't understand you.

You get so jealous out of the blue.

Is it really me or is it about you? 

I would rather know the truth than keep on guessing

This game is pretty tiring.

Now please tell me honestly

What do you really want from me?

I could have guessed about it somehow

I just don't have the nerves to let them all out.

I might get tired one day

And you might lose me in the simplest way.

Oh Barili :3

Barili was great and fun with Dianne, Ingrid and with my Babe! :*

Sweets after we dined at Foodtrip. We visited Dianne's crib and we were offered with lots of sweets. Srsly, I couldn't even finish eating my salad. :o

 The owner of ze house! Thanks Dianne for the frank chikas, food and videoke trip! :>

The tour guide when we went to Tilapia Fishing Spot. Caught one fish. So sad. :(

And tadaaaa! Le babe of mine. Hahaha. No more description available. :*

GROUP PHOTO! SMILE :)

Thanks for the day babe! Till next time. Hope you'll finally meet my whole family. SOON! 

I love you! :*

My Father Eagle

She considered herself like an eagle

Always soaring up high albeit the storm

She knows when is the perfect timing to wiggle

Reminding herself to stay calm and relaxed in any form.

Just like an eagle so mighty,

She takes the risks and go forth her dreams

Circumstances may come along her way,

She never loses hope for her heart is set aflame.

But what would she do

If one day she finds out everything turned out blue?

Her hopes went down.

Her aspirations were crushed.

Her motivations vanished.

She broke her wings

And fell mercilessly in the ground.

She felt so hopeless

And all she could do is shed out her tears heavily.

It was the most painful thing that happened to her journey

The people who once gave her strength and inspiration 

Were also the ones who doubted her and turned her down.

Yet, her Father eagle stood by her side despite it all.

He was cheering her up reminding her the battle isn't over yet.

He picked her up and gave her enough strength to carry on

And now she is ever stronger and fearless to make it through.

Niabot Ka Sa Panahon Nga AKo Wala Nagpa-abot

Niabot Ka sa Panahon nga AKo Wala Nagpa-abot

-Balak ni Frances Carmille Alpuerto-

Kinsa man ang nagdahum

Nga ikaw akong ika-kita

Nga ikaw akong mahigala

Nga ikaw akong mahigugma

Tinuod ba gayud diay ang ilang gina-ingon

Nga ang kalibutan pirte rang gamaya?

Buot ko nga ikaw masayod,

Dako ako ug pasalamat sa Labaw sa Tanan

Nga sa kadaghang tawo niining kalibutan,

Ikaw ug ako nagkahimamat,

Ikaw ug ako nagkahigugmaay.

Karun, kung ako mag-inusara

Dili ko gayud malikayan

Nga mo-dalikyat ug pahiyom ug

Napamatud-an ko na gayud

Nga ang kalibutan pirte rajung gamaya.

Ang Dalan sa Kahayag

Ang Dalan sa Kahayag

-Balak ni Frances Carmille Alpuerto-

Sa paglakaw nato niining panaw sa kinabuhi,

Daghan tang mga dalan na maagian.

Mga nagka lain-laing tawo aton ika-saksi,

Mga nagka lain-laing panghitabo atong masulayan.

Usahay sa atong paglakaw,

Kita mahidagma.

Usahay sa atong paglahutay,

Kita mawad-an sa paglaum.

Usahay sa atong pagpanginabuhi,

Kita mo dili sa mga pagsulay sa kinabuhi.

Huna-hunaa O, higala ko

Sa atong dagan sa kinabuhi,

Lumalabay ra kitang tanan.

Busa buhata ang tanang maayo

Para ikaw dili magmahay sa uwahi

Ug subay sa kanunay sa dalan sa kahayag,

Ang dalan na magtudlo natu sa kalampusan.

Ikaw Gayud

Ikaw Gayud

-Balak ni Frances Carmille Alpuerto-

Sa panahon ako nahidagma,

Wala gayud nimu ako pasagdi.

Sa panahon nga ako nag-inusara,

Wala gayud nimu ako biyae.

Sa panahon nga ako nagkinahanglan sa imong presensya,

Wala gayud nimu ako pakyasa.

Sa panahon nga ako nahikalimot kanimo, 

Wala gayud nimu ako kalimti. 

O, Ginoo ko!

Nganung na ingon ani man ako?

Ikaw ra gayud unta ang bugtong mahalon,

Ikaw ra gayud unta ang hilabihan sa tanan nakung panahon,

Ikaw ang labing pasalamatan,

O, Ginoo ko!

Ikaw lamang gayud.

Thanksgiving Prayer

Thanksgiving Prayer

-Frances Carmille Alpuerto-

Lord, on this day, grant us the humility to recognize all the gifts you have given to us and to acknowledge all the reasons we have to be grateful in our lives. It is so easy to let daily trials and tribulations convince us that we have little for which to give thanks but nothing could be farther than the truth. 2011 was indeed a year of a perfect combination of trials, test of faith, unending blessings and miracles.

Almighty God, thank you for the gift of life. Often, we take our existence for granted and don’t see it for the miracle it is. As millions of Filipinos face poverty and our nation seems to be more selfish, thank you for those who care in our lives and for the generosity of strangers towards those in need. 

Oh Comforter, we know it is difficult to be thankful with tragedy and economic storms battering our country, but we refuse to give in, to become callous and to lose faith. With the knowledge, we know that we can make this a more bountiful land again. Also Loving Father, we thank you for the presence of one another. May 2012 be a year for us of more blessings, new relationships and stronger faith in You. All of these we ask and give thanks in Jesus name. AMEN.
