To My Doctor Boo

By


I'd like to express these feelings of mine

I believe it's now the proper time

You often make me laugh and smile

And I guess that's a sign


I don't know if I'll let things be

But I believe I am now ready

From today to infinity

I wish it'll be you and me


You don't need me to be impressed

You are never ever less

Whether you wear baggy clothes or dress

I like you nevertheless


As I write this tonight

I will sleep tight

Tomorrow I'll see you smile

When you read this poem of mine


There is so much to unravel

I wish to know you well

Please, please do tell

Everything behind your shell


As I end this poem, Doctor Boo

There's something you ought to know

That I want you and me to grow

For I very much love you so

The Jade Islands of El Nido

By
Image
This view beacons you to a heap of glimmering islands waiting to be discovered... Located on the northernmost tip of Palawan, El Nido is distant from all other places in the world. Because of its location, nobody knew its stupendous tourism value. As late as 1979, El Nido was unknown to beach-goers and wanderlusts, when a group of divers met a sea accident at night forcing them to drop anchor in an inlet. The following morning, the divers woke up to an amazing scenery of skyscraping dark cliffs, thick green forest, white-sand beach, sparkling waters and, rising above it, a series of magnificently-sculpted jade islands. [Wikipedia] I was fortunately born late enough to have read the “wows” of tourists who have been there and to have seen the spectacular pictures of El Nido… but it was not until my sister’s insistence three weeks ago that persuaded me to go on a last-minute decision to head on to this remote place. Two flights from Legazpi and a 6-hour ...

Romantic Beige Sand Beaches Near Mayon Volcano

By

  We were entranced... We sailed the eastern seas off the coast of Albay Province for our weekend getaway. Every time we see a beige sand beach common in the area, the enigmatic Mayon Volcano peers over the scenery. There were many of these beaches, appearing every once in a while, with the dazzling volcano in each and every view. I will never forget this past weekend for each turn had a magnificent scene looming in the horizon --- from isle to isle, from coast to coast, from beach to beach! Tambilagao Port Tambilagao Port We drove from our hometown Daraga, Albay setting off to our main destination, Namanday Island Resort . After making our way to Cagraray Island via Sula Bridge, I felt as though we already left the country. I've never been outside Luzon Island since before the pandemic so leaving Luzon already feels like traveling abroad. On Cagraray Island, we saw magnificent views of the many islands dotting the eastern seas of Albay, but it was the Tambilagao Port where the get...

2025 || Pretty Chill Year 🥂

By

  The middle of the decade. A quarter of a century has passed. 2025 was a year defined by challenges and enduring problems that just wouldn't go away. Yet, despite the many troubles I constantly faced, I was pretty chill, pretty calm, and very much at peace all throughout. While 2023 was basically the year with minimal problems, 2025 on the other hand was the year I slept like I had no problem at all. As the year ends tonight, I remember the various milestones and highlights I experienced for the past twelve months. I should say that, with God's grace, it had all been worthwhile.  Late February || Sana ALL Private litigation lawyers all over Albay teamed up as one: Albay Lawyers League . We did our best in the recent IBP Elections. Though we were not so lucky, I would always remember the bond we had. After the elections, Albay Lawyers League morphed into Albay Bar Association where we use our legal knowledge to decipher the solutions to local and national issues and problems. ...

2024 || Enter the Green Dragon

By

  It's always nice to look back and reminisce one's fondest memories. Seeing old pictures evokes many emotions, mostly good, sometimes bad but somehow still gives you peace (reminding you of how you managed to get out of the rut). Good pictures are always good, no matter what was actually going on. After all, a sad movie can still be a masterpiece. In 2024, I learned so many valuable lessons that I will cherish for the rest of my life. Though I didn't really venture out of Bicol Region this year, I was still able to enjoy and have fun. In 2023, we went to Europe and, even here in the Philippines, I saw many masterpieces with strong foreign elements.  This year, on the other hand, the things I saw were mostly native and local (with little to no foreign element). Nonetheless, they're not any less superior. Coming home and enjoying home gave 2024 its own vibe and zeitgeist. All in all, 2024 has been a decent year so far... January 1: Happy Fam 2024 started on a high note. ...

La Dolce Vita 🇮🇹🇻🇦🇲🇨 🍸

September 2023.  My birthmonth, my birthyear. I was born in the year of the Hare so I needed to make 2023, another year of the Hare, special. As I had never been out of the country, I decided to finally make that long-awaited "first trip" on my birthyear. It happens once every twelve years so why not make it special? My first time past Immigration! So many countries were considered. Spain and Portugal came to mind. Thailand seemed plausible. Nearby Indonesia's fantastic architecture were tempting, and because Singapore was close enough, it was also suggested. Malaysia came into the radar too. But, not until visas were approved or airline tickets were bought, nothing was final. And then - out of the blue - I heard my aunt and sister talk about a possible Euro Tour on no other month but September ... Since it happens to be my birthmonth, I immediately asked if I could join them... "Sure," said my aunt! Up until that point, my options were as flexible as they could...

The Elusive Mirth

  Image by Patricia Palmans from Pixabay We see all vivid decors We hear all mirthful tenors We taste all exquisite flavors Christmas is everywhere! Splendid, colorful Mellifluous, flavorful Everything is dazzling Everything is amazing! These are the beautiful things That the splendid Yuletide Season brings But they all emanate from one thing --- A matter that is fascinating! For what gives these beautiful things Significance and meaning Are not the outward beauty they possess Nor the extravagance or the excesses For the real beauty that lingers Cannot be seen, cannot be touched For the true magic that flickers Cannot be earned, cannot be munched This beautiful, elusive mirth Is not even worth a penny It is something free But makes everyone happy It is something we can give Especially on Christmas Eve It is every little good deed That puts a smile on one in need For the source of the beauty that lingers Lies within all of us, sinners It is a gift from the heavens above It is nothin...

Tears of Joy

  It was the early days of 2013 I remember the things I've seen Something was special those days and nights An event changed my entire life I was at the top of the class then When I was told to come home To my lonesome, childless parents Deep within, I was all alone I absolutely had no friends I didn't even know myself I was empty, unhappy And then, I discovered DXP All my life was void But someone fin'lly gave me joy In the nothingness of cyberspace I didn't even have the capacity to see your face But the feelings I had resonate Until today, up to now, maybe for ever I am willing to wait Because of the many things I remember Do you know happiness? Do you know sadness? When I remember you I feel both of these two Maybe, but it's just my guess You bring me both happiness and sadness Joys for the funny memories Gloom for the same kinds of bliss That you both gave to me Happy, unhappy, or both maybe But now, I'm saying sorry For whatever I did to thee Every day, I ...

The Polvoron Beaches of Cagraray Island

By
Image
My first ocular inspection of a client's property has been fascinating. It was a nice, seaside lot facing a beach unique from all others I've been to. Before my short sojourn, all I thought was that it's going to be an ordinary white-sand beach. After all, that's what my client told me so. It wasn't anything like that at all, however. Our tour guide asked me if the place is comparable to Boracay. I bluntly said, " no , but I don't want white-sand beaches anymore as I've been to so many before. This is something else, this is something more special ." If you think there can only be five or so colors of beaches there are in the world, Cagraray Island will prove you wrong. Barangay Mataas, on its southern part, will surprise you by colors you never would expect. Cagraray is an island located on the eastern part of Albay Province. It is connected to the mainland through a bridge that spans across Sula Channel. However, during the voyage, our destinatio...

  This is the sixth chapter of the historical fantasy entitled " Rhapsody of Nature ." Synopsis:  A flirtatious native made a sultry appearance... They were all satisfied with the food. Barbecoa  wasn't something too special but Felix had a way of doing things that makes every food better. It was not only the ingredients he uses but also the special techniques he does. He doesn't tell anyone however; he was that secretive. As it was then past noon time, everybody was feeling sleepy. One by one, they fell unconscious, sleeping everywhere. On top of the trees' branches. On the table. Down the beach. Into the woods. Nobody else was awake except for one man, Esteban. Yet another thing caught his interests that very moment though. He heard a light voice from somewhere.  "It sounds kind of sweet," he mumbled. He followed the sound. It slowly gets louder and more distinct. "Hmmmmm... I really like it. Who could be singing?" The voice stopped. He look...
