Noong taong otsenta dekada
...
The lamp of the bright life had darkened.
When my father life was taken by God.
It was the darkest moment ever
experienced by my mother and family.
...
Sally is just a typical woman and nosy
Upon reading this note - ICE Sally
and with her contact phone number
She got furious like a tiger, after
...
Each one of us believe in different creed
Each one of us have religious sects we belong to
Just to satisfy our souls' spiritual needs
To believe in different icon of Gods and Goddesses
...
I see, I see with my eyes
You're in my vision, said I
You will be in my body parts
You will be deeply in my heart
...
Well, honey it is January
And soon it will be February
I know what it reminds me
To remember you in Valentine's Day
...
The almighty Creator is a good cook
He formulates life with different intermixtures
And He put them all together in a can
Can be with salt
...
you gathered all
the power of your body
and spirits
the skills
...
Who can perceive self
in front of a mirror
exploring your anima?
...
Ah, It was heavenly rare night
For spending with you in my dream
In such a compassionate scheme
You let my heart with such delight
...
The Lord will command His
loving kindness in the daytime.
And His song will be in the night.
A prayer to the God of life.
...
The water hyacinth
floats with flotsam and refuse
goes along so smooth

Noong taong otsenta dekada
Ako'y may nakilala dito sa Amerika
Babaeng mestisa, nakakabighani
Kaakit - akit, napakagandang binibini
Ang mata ko'y lumuwa
Tulo laway pati ng aking kaluluwa
Sa suot nyang 'short ' na napakaiksi
Mala porselanang kutis ng binti
Sa mapula pulang labi
At mala rosang pisngi
Ang kaluluwa ko'y natangay
Sa kagandahan nyang taglay
Napakasarap nyang kausap
Masasabi kong kalasaplasap
Isang binibining matalino
Sabi nya Tatay daw nya ay Amerikano
Nanay daw nya ay taga Albay, Bicol
Sabi ko sa sarili ' she might be cool '
Laki raw siya sa Albay hanggang kinse anyos
Nakakaintindi ng Tagalog, sabi ko di ayos
Nagkaramdaman sa madaling sabi
Tinugunan ang aking mungkahi
Kaya naman puso koy nagalak
Kaluluwa ko sa tuwa ay pumalakpak
Sa aming unang ' date '
Kaagad, sa akin siya nakadikit
Nagpasyal kami sa shopping mall
Unang tindahan ' first call '
' Can you buy me this? ' magarang damit
Binili ko, maganda kasi siyang mag damit
May nagustuhan ulit, siyang pumili, sige bili
Gastos, di ko iindahin, sabi ko sa aking sarili
Lumipas ang isang linggo
Nag date ulit kami - bagong ligo
Amoy na amoy ang bango n'ya
Di ako nakatiis, hinalikan ko siya
Di umimik, tingin lang sa aking mga mata
At nag-usap na lang kami sa mata sa mata
Sumunod, ' imagine ' na lang, di ayos
Maski pasaring lang, tinikman ang luto ng Diyos
Tuloy tuloy ang ' date '
Nagpasyal, shopping mall ulit
Gintong kwentas, kursunada ' Can you buy me that? '
Nakita ko, presyo medyo mabigat-bigat
Pero binili ko dahil 'love ' ko siya
Maski na mabigat sa aking bulsa
Lumipas ang panahon
Kada ' date' ay langing ganoon
Kada pasyal, palaging may binibili
Magandang gamit, mamahalin palagi
Kagandahan nya nga, ay ka gusto gusto
Sabi ko sa sarili ko, kung palagi na lang ganito
' Buy me this and buy me that '
Sa bulsa ko naman ay napakabigat
' I'll buy you that and I'll buy you this '
Ay naku di ko na ata matitiis
Mahirap palang umibig sa binibining taga Albay
Kailangan umatras, 'and say goodbye'
Mahal mo nga siya
Pero butas naman ang bulsa!

English Translation:
Tittle: Ay, It's So Hard To Love A Girl From Albay
'twas in the year of eighty's decade
I met a girl here in America
A mestiza girl, so lovely
A winsome girl, such a beauty
My eyes in amorous manner with her
Even my soul salivated
For she wears a short, short pants
And her legs are the like of porcelain skin
She has the lovely red lips
With the rosy cheeks
And my soul was taken
For her heavenly beauty
She was nice to talk with
I can say a very charming, captivating
Such so intellegent, smart girl
She said her father is an American
And her mother was from the Province of Albay, Bicol
And in my mind, she might be cool
She grows up in Albay 'til 15 years of age
She understand ' Tagalog ' so I said; then its nice
At the middle of conversation
We likely got into each other opinion, and emotion
So I said; I like her - in a whisper
She said; she like me too - a whisper too
My heart was so joyful
Even my soul clapped being happy
So we arranged a date - in our first date
We went to shopping mall
At the first store - first call
Can you buy me this? a nice dress
I bought it, for she wears elegantly
She selected another one, I bought it
I didn't mind and spent the money for her
One week had passed by
We went for another date - she was fresh from shower
Oh my, she had this captivating fragrance
Unexpectedly, I kissed her
She did not complain at all
Next scenario - just imagine - and it was okay
We tasted the best menu of God - the s**
We continuously gone for a date
She love to shop - so shopping mall again
She wants the 24 karat gold chain - Can you buy me that?
I saw the price it was so expensive
But I bought it, because I love her
Even it was so pricey to my pocket
As the time passed by
Every date we go on, its always like that
Everytime I had to buy her something
Always the expensive items
She's beautiful, smart, winsome
But if it will always be like that
Buy me this and buy me that
So hard to my budget
The - I'll buy you that, I'll buy you this
I can't afford, can't tolerate it no more please
Ay, its so hard to love a girl from Albay
I need to back out and say goodbye
I love her so much - but forget it
I am always out of money, ruins my pocket
Note: Albay - (pronounced as I'll buy) - a province from Philippines, Bicol Region.

The distinction of one person's character can be illustrated by this word: Attitude.
One way to be in good attitude is with sincere, heartfelt gratitude Ency Bearis
Passion and satisfaction can be achieved favorably with the endeavor of a team in good loop of communication. Ency Bearis
You cannot please every soul in this world, but when you say 'please' to every favor you requested, they might be pleased with your politeness. Ency Bearis
Better to be humble you'll find yourself in the bubble of peace with anybody an ideal nobility
If you want to be my friend act as a friend, we will be in a good blend But if you want only to pretend It won't rhyme, sorry it will come to an end Ency Bearis
I never thought of love but when you came to my thoughts love taught me how to love you ~Ency Bearis
Silence is the mutual friend of the soul that blends to conscience to repose
Poverty drives someone be like migrant birds be a refugee to the greener pastures
Words and action of yours, you need to be careful. For when you stumble upon something, not right by others, of what you speak and manners they may consider you as an annoying person.
A world without women is a world in bad omen. For it jeopardizes world's future being without those great mother who carries the womb of the future in doom.
This world would be a better place if we learn how to live in harmony with peace of mind that gonna be and not to wonder 'What if? '
sometimes don't let your heart make the decision, let your mind speak and take that crucial part think, though you've a kind heart behind
When an obsession in your mind, it gets into an obligation
Sky has no limits, not in a person, each person has its own limitation
Time is always shadowing us, but it goes and leave without its shadow.
Each person has dark side, and bright side even the moon has its own.
Honesty is great virtue that links to moral value. Ency Bearis
Your determination and tenacity is your wings, to fly at sky's success and life's uplifting. ©️ Ency Bearis
Pride is hot ego pleasure, but when it's self showcase, can cause to other coldness, displeasure. ©️ Ency Bearis
The older the wine the sweeter the juice... Keep getting better it's a pleasure to read you work...
