《Hymns of my Heart [collection of my poems]》Basura
Advertisement
Tapon dito, at tapon doon, mga basura saan paroroon,
Iba't-ibang klase, hugis, at kulay na wala pa naman noon.
Ngunit, nang ang tao ay nagsimulang dumami,
Mga basura din ay parami na nang parami.
Mula sa mga nabubulok na dahon, pinagbalatan, at pinagkainan,
Atin ay hindi man lamang naiisip ito ay merong kapakinabangan.
Pataba sa mga gulayan, bulaklak, at halamanan,
Ating lupa't kapaligiran, maganda pa pagtamnan.
Ang mga boteng plastik o babasagin at wala ng laman,
Pwede pa namang magamit ulit bilang mga lalagyan.
Mga papel na magagamit ay pwede pang masulatan,
O mga lumang dyaryo, sa junkshop mapagkakakitaan.
Ang mga plastik na supot na kung saan-saan nakukuha,
Paulit-ulit man nating gamitin ay di masisira.
Ngunit, ang pagsunog sa mga ito ay ating iwasan,
Pagkat di na maganda sa hangin at sa kalusugan.
Ito ring mga basura ay dahilan ng mga pagbaha,
Kung saan mga epidemya at sakit ay nagmumula.
May polusyon sa hangin,madumi pa tubig at lupa,
Kung magpapatuloy kapaligiran ay masisira.
Habang ang lahat ay hindi pa huli,
Basura mo ay itapong mabuti.
Para sa magandang kapaligiran,
Sa kabataan ng kinabukasan.

I composed this poem like almost 10 years ago!
For the English readers: I apologize since this one is in Tagalog, written in our local dialect.
Maybe someday I would be able to write an English version of this.
I wrote this when I was finally convinced that there are many Filipinos who just don't care about our environment. They are throwing their garbage /litters just anywhere, on the creek/river, sidewalk,and even public places like terminals. I felt like they intended not to dispose it properly, being lazy is not the main reason however I find how our parents brought us up that would reflect to what we are now.

Double Trouble
Stanley moved to Bleakburn, hoping to start life over, when strange occurrences keep happening around him. Each day, people grow more disheartened and depressed. Each month, someone jumps off the same apartment complex building, that he could afford. Police are scrambling off different cases, unsure of how to handle them.On top of that, a strange new face appears in his new workplace, one who's taken on Stanley's appearance. His name was Jordan, and besides his name, the only difference between him and Stanley were his eye color and personality. Having a hunch that Jordan is the cause of the occurrences happening around town, Stanley tries to get to the bottom of things. Can he pull it off without digging too deep and losing his sanity? (Just a heads up in advance, this is a pretty slow-paced story, so it'll take a while for the main plot(s) to get going)

8 184Sealed Within
[Again, a box full of thanks to Wei for the cool summary!] A story from a dream.... The pinnacle of VR games, GeaOnline, is a world of that boasted unlimited possibilities. Gathering allies, slaying monsters of enormous proportions. Leading an army to defeat the forces of evil, becoming a hero, receiving the praise of the masses, or even becoming a farmer! ...that was the picturisque world Kail had imagined, however, that all came down to a burning halt once he became a sole witness to the abnormalities of the game. NPCs talking like humans, NPCs and mobs bleeding, and even his Summon Beast acting like a cute, innocent girl. What was wrong with his game? Was this a premonition...? =---= ...is it wrong to me waiting to be saved? ...They are talking to me. Is my game corrupted? I saw blood... ...I can't go back. I can't log out... I want to see my family... I don't want to die! It hurts...! It hurts! Anyone... get me out of here...! ...why should I go back? ... Anyone who opposes me will die. =--= ...he was living a normal, high school life... ...until a fateful event trapped him in the game. Trapped as the strongest, cruelest mob in the game, born to be killed over and over by fellow players... Warnings: 1. Weak male MC at the start 2. Bullying, this may offend some 3. Gore, blood, violence 4. Dark, twisted story and will continue to get darker. There's a chance that you will dislike the MC or abandon the story altogether in the middle of the story progression. Remember it tagged Psychological. 5. Slow-paced story.
8 106Resurgence of an Immortal - Sample
This is a sample of my upcoming book. Follow Dexter as he's thrown into a world of monsters, both of the human and beast variety. He must survive and grow strong enough to return to Earth and reunite with his beloved fiance Amelia. This progressive fantasy combines Eastern and Western themes. Fans of Dungeons and Dragons or similar book series like Will Wright's Cradle and Tinalynge's Blue Phoenix are sure to enjoy this novel as well. I would appreciate any and all feedback while this is still in an editing stage. Thank you.
8 83Of Souls and Rogues
When thieves Von and Lloyd are murdered, they wake up to find themselves not in the afterlife, but in the realm of the demigods. These demigods rule territories and hold sway over various domains, such as professions, elements, and more. The demigods vie for power, be it through military, economic, or diplomatic means. The roguish and jovial demigod of thieves, tricksters, and deception, Cadius, has taken a keen interest in the duo, and ropes them into his escapades, plots, and schemes. Just what kind of person is Cadius, and what grand designs does he have in store? From pickpocketing to infiltrating the personal quarters of the demigods themselves, Von and Lloyd have their work cut out for them. They'll need to support and encourage eachother if they want to survive. Check out the Discord! Note: This is my first work of fiction, and as such, there will almost certainly be issues with pacing, grammar, the writing as a whole, and the story as a whole. If I reach a suitable point to pause the story, I will most likely do a complete rewrite as a separate RR posting. If you have any suggestions, feel free to post them here or in the discord. Thank you for reading!
