Lovers' Farewell





Ask me and I shall answer thee
What canst measure my love for thine
'Tis higher than the clouds 
Or 'twas deeper than the sea?
No dearest, for my love is eternally
And how I carest canst thou compareth be

Haveth I been weary of my groaning
For morow thou shouldst soon embark
All night make I in my bed thinking
Hast I water my couch with tears like a lark
But thy words of love consoleth me
'Twas whispered in my ears like buzz of bee

Though I'll be suffering with languor
Thy thought will make me fain every hour
Ah! My macrocosm couldst have swoon
If I had not met you not so soon
Aphrodite could've been so happy 
That cupid hit both I and thee
I wrote this poem in 2007, inspired by my sister and now brother-in-law when they were not yet married. They were on a long distance relationship as my brother-in-law was working in another country. The first stanza are words of assurance that her love for him cannot be measured by anything. Second and third stanza express grief as he has to go back abroad, but their thought for each other still keep them happy. After all, when love is true, distance doesn't matter. Two hearts may be separated for a moment, but they will find each other's way back. Goodbye is only temporary for two people who are truly in love, because they know that one day they can be together again and it will be forever. Now, my sister and brother-in-law have two cute kids. ^_^

How to Go to Siargao from Samar the Cheapest and Easiest Way

Image
SAMAR TO LEYTE From Samar, I have to go to Tacloban so I can ride a bus going to Liloan.  BUS COMPANY NAME:  Bachelor Tours Schedule: 7 am, 11 am Location: Palo, Leyte Fare: PHP 370 (regular), PHP 300 (student) NOTE:  You can also ride this bus if you are going to Davao or Butuan. Most public vans stop in Tacloban city. Hence, you still need to ride a jeepney going to Palo; allot thirty minutes for this in case of traffic. Just tell the jeepney driver to drop you off at the station of Bachelor Tours; everyone knows where it is. When you're in doubt, don't hesitate to ask the locals. I highly recommend you to come earlier than the schedule because you still have to enlist yourself and the bus usually gets full quickly. It's first-come-first-serve basis. My friend told me that the bus sometimes departs earlier than the schedule as soon as all the seats get occupied.  Tell the conductor that you just want to stop in Liloan so you will just

Adventure Diary: Pinipisakan Falls and Sulpan Cave

Image
Pinipisakan Falls is located in the town of San Jorge /San Hor-he/, island of Samar, Philippines. A few meters behind it is the Sulpan Cave, which is full of exciting adventures. San Jorge is just 30-45 minutes away from my hometown, Catbalogan. We used to go to Blanca Aurora Falls in San Jorge when we were kids, but Pinipisakan is hardly visited by the locals due to its distance and perilous passage route. It is not recommendable if you will visit with children. We had to climb the mountains, and the path was steep and slippery. You have to be extra careful when going there because there will be a tendency for you to fall many times. I accidentally slipped on a huge rock, but I was fortunately able to stretch my hand and only my chin was hit. I guess I was lucky, but my right hand and leg got very painful during the entire trip. Hence, I had difficulty in going up and needed assistance from the porter whenever I had to climb the waterfall and step on large boulders.  Moreover,
