Yesterday has gone
Today is almost over
Tomorrow has yet to come
And I’m missing you.
Other Romantic poets that i like are: William Wordsworth ; Samuel Coleridge ; John Keats and William Blake

"...Dawata ning akong gugma
nga maoy tima-an
sa akong pagmahal
pag-amping ug pag-yukbo
sa imong kadungganan
Aron matu-od nga ikaw
gipakatawo ni Bathala.
Ning silong sa langit,
Aron sa pagdim-dim
Sa nagkalain-lain bulak
Nga nagsawilik
Sa mainit nga luha
Initos sa mapangis
Nga kagul-ananan.
Babaye, gihigugma ko ikaw
nianang gugma nga matapos lamang
kon kita matimpasaw sa ngilit sa kamatayon.
Wala ako mahadlok nga ton-an mo ako
Kon unsaon ko ikaw sa paghigugma
nga kanang imong kabu-otan
nga labaw sa imong ka-anyag
Nga maoy nagtudlo kanako niining tanan."
... when i get to do crazy things
... when i tend to befall under your spell
... when i continue to love you though it hurts
... when i cry today but it doesn't matter the next day
... when i smile seeing your face
... when i hate you so much but wants more of you!
... when i care for you, endlessly
... when i miss you every moment
... when hearing your voice feels like heaven!
... when everything about you simply mesmerizes the inner me
How'd you call that?
These are some of the compiled date we got from Langub Barangay, one of the barangay of Argao Municipality, as part of our term paper in M.A. History, U.S.C.

These are from different eras of Philippine history. The blue and white porcelain was from early chinese settlers; the honeycomb-patterned stone is a coral of the sea during the Paleolithic era; the reddish-brown broken pottery item came from the early cavemen, which were used as liquid jars either for water or fruit juices; the white petite porcelain came from Europe and would one not wonder why it was here?
Anyway, Professor John Peterson from the University of Texas is handling the course. He came in all the way from the U.S.A. to help us learn more of Archaeology in M.A. History students.
The trip we had was fantastic, at least for me anyway. We climbed up more than a couple of hills up north very steep corn fields of Cansuje, a very rich agricultural municipality of Argao, and saw what ordinary eyes or shall I say- untrained sight- can’t see at first glance. Imagine stumbling all these after three or four rounds of trekking (back and forth) stepping on freshly tilled land. I guess we were color-blind at first, but after a few minutes… walllahh!
He told us, these potteries which I and some of us found, are signs that there were people living in the area a few thousand years ago, maybe for a brief moment or during a season or while the stars came out or every full moon. Whichever it was, I’m certain the stones I got were part of their lifetime experiences, which I am now holding in my lifetime.

Those times when we get to laugh out loud
times when we get to talk so fast
the times when you tried to tell a joke and i didnt get it but smiled
those times when you fill my world with love.. or was it?
times when we both share the oneness in our hearts...
They are gone now... gone with everything i cherished
gone with my deepest care and passion within me
gone with my dreams of getting closer and dearer
gone with the wind, they say.
It's sad, trully sad
when i don't see you anymore
when i can't see you anymore
when i should not see you anymore
when i must not see you anymore...
when i would not be with you anymore
when i must not be with you anymore
when i should not be with you anymore
when i can't be with you anymore...
What's left with life, huh
You should have cared
you should have sensed it
you should have listened
you should have shared
you should have LOVED.
