Satanas sa Lupa



Satanas sa Lupa
Oh akala mo maswerte kana oh siyang alipin ng walang kamalayan
Sa pagkainosente mo ay di mo namamalaya oh ni nalalaman
Na ikaw pala ay pinagtatawanan ng demonyo sa likuran
Oh walang hinalang kaw pala ang kwentuhan saan san man sa kapaligiran
Di moa lam ang pangil ay nakabaon sa leegan mo oh sinta
Lason ay unti unting kumakalat sakop sa buhay mo ay maluwag na
Sa ugat mo ay kumakalat na at mahirap ng oh wala ng agap pa
Ni walang gamut na makakalunas sa sugat na hatid o sumpa
Oh ikaw sinakmal ng malaking nilalang kaawa awa
Nanlilisik sa iyo ang mata ng may ngiting aso ng satanas sa lupa
Haha oh maling akala sumpang sakdal may sala
Para ka lang isang pamunas na aapakan pagkatapos ng panlasa
Mawala ang kwenta oh gamit na pantanggal sa marumi at bara

Magsaya ka ngayon, saka ka na lang harapin ang dusa
Sige lang panahon mo ay ngayon humalakhak kat tumawa ng tumawa
Hanggang sa madurog ka na ay saka ka pagtatawanan ng iba
Habang ikaw ay gumagapang at walang makapitan, oh linta sa lupa.

Akala mo ha… oo ito ang lugar ng umaapoy na impyerno
Sinusunog ka ng unti unti hanggang maupos ang iyo ng buong buo
Akala mo anghel na tagapagligtas nakuha mong sandalan
Iyon pala ay demonyong ginagamit ka lamang at pinagsasawaan.

Atheism

"If i believe in Islam, 2.2 billion Christians will perish in hell for eternity. If i believe in Christianity, 1.5 billion Muslims will perish in Hell for eternity. But if i believe neither, nobody has to perish at all."


Atheism is, in a broad sense, the rejection of belief in the existence of deities. In a narrower sense, atheism is specifically the position that there are nodeities. Most inclusively, atheism is simply the absence of belief that any deities exist. Atheism is contrasted with theism, which in its most general form is the belief that at least one deity exists.
The term atheism originated from the Greek ἄθεος (atheos), meaning "without god", which was applied with a negative connotation to those thought to reject thegods worshipped by the larger society. With the spread of freethought, skeptical inquiry, and subsequent increase in criticism of religion, application of the term narrowed in scope. The first individuals to identify themselves as "atheist" appeared in the 18th century.
Atheists tend to be skeptical of supernatural claims, citing a lack of empirical evidence. Atheists have offered various rationales for not believing in any deity. These include the problem of evil, the argument from inconsistent revelations, and the argument from nonbelief. Other arguments for atheism range from the philosophical to the social to the historical. Although some atheists have adopted secular philosophies, there is no one ideology or set of behaviors to which all atheists adhere. 
Although in Western culture atheists are usually irreligious, some are spiritual. Moreover, atheism also figures in certain religious and spiritual belief systems, such as Jainism, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Neopagan movements such as Wicca. Jainism and some forms of Buddhism do not advocate belief in gods, whereas Hinduism holds atheism to be valid, but difficult to follow spiritually.
Since conceptions of atheism vary, determining how many atheists exist in the world today is no easy task. According to one estimate, about 2.3% of the world's population are atheists, while a further 11.9% are nonreligious.[18] According to another, rates of self-reported atheism are among the highest in Western nations, again to varying degrees: United States (4%), Italy (7%), Spain (11%), Great Britain (17%), Germany (20%), and France (32%).

Pick up line part 3 (final???)

“LIKE” …. I_la like ko yan ah.
Lagi mo nalang tinatanong kung nasan ako, kung sino kasama ko. E ako tinanong mob a kung napapagod din ako… pang FAMAS line…
Oh papa, nagrereklamo na ang bata mo, kaaga aga raw eh tinatawagan.
Siya ba yung P______e…. Tanong ni….
Habang nakasakay sa ride… putang ina putang ina… (pag pataas) sarap, hmp sarap.. (pag pababa)
Nabayaran daw eh…. Yong kaholdinghands at kasama sa pamamasyal.
Nagjoke ako eh natawa lahat ng kasama liban lang sa kanya raw na parang kinusot na papel.
Wala namang burahan ng comment…
Bibilhan nay an ng loptop para machat ng iba. Ipakilala nga raw sa biihan ng laptop na hulugan.
Oh bat ang aga mo raw. Di ka nag overtime… (pinag iiponan daw yung pambili ng loptap para dun sa may anak at machat nan i M___.
Oh ok n asana at inaway na dahil hindi sinasagot yung tawag kanina pa kaso pagkalipas ng 20 second sabay parang maamong tupa na siya na ang nagpapaliwanag.
Alas daw eh. Isa lang ang inamin na lakad sa tatlo weh,,,, tibay
Lagi raw inaagawan eh.
Bat daw ngayun lang nakilala eh.
Effective daw yung pamanang kulyon.
Lahat ng nasa kwarto…. Tawag…. Kulyom bed, kulyom room, kulyom chair, kulyon table, kulyom cabinet… etc. basta kulyom lahat ng iniwan ni….
Malinis daw trumabaho eh… (napost mga pics)
At ayun pa Friends with benefits ang title ng album.
Alam mo daw ba yung “no other woman” hindi yung pelikula ah, yung album title.
Di daw yung ligawa pinapatagal kundi yung realsyon.
Pwede raw siyang mahalin pero hindi pwedeng angkinin.
Nagamit na naman daw siya na sangkalan ah.
Nkita iba na naman kadate,,,, at ito pa nagpalit ng damit ulit….hh
Ang lahat ng bagay daw sa mundo ay mayroon ng nag mamay ari. Kaya kung hindi ka mang aagaw hindi ka magkakaroon.
Engineers ay solving the problem not thinking the problem…
Wala namang perpektong relasyon dahil wala naman perpektong tao.
“LIKE” …. I_la like ko yan ah.

Pero ito dapat tandaan at huwag kalimutan.......

 Buti nalang mababait kami.... -Serapio, Maks Gwapo, Kua Lui, Tito, ka Roger at Papa P

Ang Relasyon

      Wala namang perpektong relasyon dahil wala naman perpektong tao. Mga linyang laging lumalabas sa aking isipan sa tuwing mayroong di pagkakaunawaan, mga di pagkakasunduan at nagkakaroon ng tampuhan. Masasabi kong itoy nagiging paraan ng likas sa isang tao… ang patuloy na paglago at kasabikan sa katalinuhan(sabik sa aral). Atleast kahit na di perpekto ay sinusubukan ang sariling gawing maayos at tama ang lahat kaso dumadating talaga ang puntong magkamali. Siguro sa pagkakataong ito dumadating ang punto ring iniisip mo n asana di nalang siya ang pinili, di nalang siya ang minahal at di nalang siya nakilala pa. gayun din ang sana ganito nalang ang napili ko, sana ganun nalang. Kaya pasensya na di ako ang kagaya nila… ganito na ang pagkakilala sa aba. Kaya walang magagawa. Basta ang di nag iba… ang nararamdaman ay iisa at natatangi lamang… ang mahal ka, minahal ka  at siyang mamahalin. Pero kung di na masaya ay ok lang… kaw naman ang may karapatang magdesisyon at hawak mo ang pagkakataong pumili… at ako man na nagmamahal sa ikaaayos at ikaliligaya mo ay bukas palad na magpapalaya. Dahil di na matatawag na pag ibig kung isang tao lang ang umiibig. Mahirap kasing pilitin ang isang tao na wala ng nararamdaman para sa isat isa. Wala na ang sinasabi nilang magic o hiwaga na sa nagmamahalan lamang nagmumula. Naniniwala naman ako… na kahit magkahiwalay kayo… at sa darating na panahon kayo ay magkitang muli… masasabi kong kung kayo talaga sa isat isa… kayo talga. At tadhana nga ang gagawa ng paraan sabi nga nila para paglapitin kayong dalawa. Ang pag ibig naman kasi ay yung tipong di sa gulo, ito ay para sa mga taong nagkakaroon ng atraksiyon sa isat isa, may kilig, may saya at may kasama sabay sa pagharap sa bukas ng may iisang pangarap sa landas ng pag iisa at malayo sa pamilya. Ang katuwang at siyang umuunawa sa isat isa.
