As Good As I Can Be

I first heard of the phrase with reckless abandon from Mr. Quinito Henson during a boxing match in the Philippines last Sunday afternoon and I quote, "he throws punches with reckless abandon..."  I googled it and I found this - with reckless abandon: to do or to say something without regard for consequences. In my case, it was a different version of reckless abandonment. May 18, 2012 I went to my hometown to mourn the sudden demise of my mother. I just couldn't believe it - my wife, my kids and I just visited her during the Mother's day celebration and she's ok! Before my mother's death, I had a scheduled trip to Singapore (May 21-25) and my wife & kids (with other relatives) would also go to Hong Kong (May 19-22) which were pre-planned months ago. Our family collectively decided to entomb my mom on Sunday, the 20th of May. May 19-20, 2012 I was almost sleepless for two days entertaining relatives & guests and playing cards as well. I woul...

Your words had me stalled I faded. Time stopped I felt I was trapped. I got lost and felt empty. Alone... full of misery. I'm wasted, 'but kept on walking... and walking still... until death found me.

Paalam Aking Mahal August 8, 2010 at 11:31 PM (c) Joselito Asi Akala ko’y tuluyan ka nang nawaglit Sa isip at puso ko’y ikaw’y tinikis Lahat nang nangyari’y pilit na inalis ‘Pagkat walang buting dulot ang maling pag-ibig. Ngunit ang tadhana’y sadyang mapaglaro Nakita kang minsang walang kibo Iiwasan ka sana’t agad akong lalayo. Ngunit tumimbuwang nadagil ang pinto. Halakhakan ay di magkamayaw, Munting pagkakamali ko’y agad sinumbatan Ngunit nang tingnan ka sa dakong likuran Kamay mo’y inabot, hiya ko’y naparam Puso ko’y walang tigil sa pagpintig Kapag kasama ka'y lagi nang may kilig Ngunit batid kong mali’t di dapat ipilit Dahil ikakasal ka na sa kaibigang matalik. At tayo nga ay nagka’walay Luha ko kanina’y ngayo’y hikbi naman Kabiguang dulot tila magpakailanman Kawangis ng kandila sa init ay nalulusaw.. Agad akong umuwi’t kumuha ng punyal Isang saksak agad kong iniunday Sa puso kong bigo sakit ay ninamnam Paalam... paalam... paalam aking mahal....

Unang Kabiguan Joselito Asi (c) January 2010 ‘Di sinasadyang ikaw’y masilayan Ako ay nabigla’t muni ay napukaw Natuwa’t nagalak ng ngiti mo’y sumilay Haay… naku, para akong lumulutang. Agad kang sinundan Upang sana’y lalo kang mamasdan Ngunit nanlumo nang makita kang May kadaupang palad, may kahawak kamay. Dali-daling lumayo upang ‘wag damdamin Ang kapaitang ayaw ko sanang danasin Ngunit heto’t bigo, kawangis ay inutil Walang halaga wag namang hamakin. Kinabukasa’y naglakas loob Pinuntahan ka’t agad ay naghandog Pag-ibig na sadya’y nais na idulog Subalit pait ang hatid mong dulot. Luha’y di sinasadyang dumaloy Sa pisngi ko’ y tumatak sumapol Kabiguang nadama sa puso koy kumirot Unang pag-ibig sakit lang ang dulot. xxxxxx Unang pag-ibig, naranasan mo ba eto? Tapos as you grew hindi naman pala love, libog lang pala.
