Don't Ask Me Why
By: Roy dela Cruz
Don't ask me why I love you,
I just do.
I love you not because you love me back
I just do
Although I may not say it,
Sometimes It may not show,
But believe me,
I do
I love you not for the caring
Nor the thoughtfullness you've shown,
Not for being there
At times when I'm low!
Not for taking care of my children,
Not for making me a home
and not for being patient
of all my imperfections.
Please don't ask me for reasons
'cause I don't need them at all
Because loving you is itself the reason
And nothing else matters anymore
So don't ask me why I love you,
Because I do.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Roy dela Cruz is one of the winners ( 3rd) of the Top Ten Emerging Influential Bloggers for 2009.
As I have kept mentioning, he has 12 blogs (not counting those at Multiply) namely:
Be Inspired Now!
Etsetera! Etsetera!
Kapampangan Blog
Money OnLine
more than just copy-paste
REFLECTIONS
Roysville dot Com
Short Stories Blog
Subukan Taya Ing Kapampangan!
The House Of Puroy
The Struggling Blogger
The Struggling Blogger dot Com
Roy is now into poems and short stories, just like his blogging friend Doc Z . This passionate blogger is a versatile writer as evidenced by the different niches of his blogs: He has a business blog, a reflection blog, a random thoughts blog, and many more. He could be serious one minute and then crack a joke the next. There is always the satisfactory feeling of "Eureka" - the "aha" syndrome - when one gets to read his diverse posts.
I admire his natural propensity and ingenuity for writing; and most of all I salute him for striving hard to fulfill his one most significant role in this lifetime - that of being a good and responsible father to his three kids.
To Roy, I give you a standing ovation!

But whatever term applies whether it's a book or a journal - the contents are still the same for me and it will always be our first Inspirational Book for year 2009.
All systems are on the go, now!

The Video Aftershock
The tall, elegant woman greeted me at the doorstep.
“Are you Alex?“ She asked.
“Yes,” I said, eyeing her warily. “And you?”
“I’m Venus.”
What kind of a name was that? I thought, chuckling surreptitiously.
Women are from Venus and men are from Mars? Ha, ha, ha.
“Venus the Vampire, “she hissed as she bared her sparkling, sharp fangs at me.
I screamed and tried to shield my face from her advancing attack.…There was a loud thud...and then, I woke up.
The videos player was buzzing. I had forgotten to turn it off after watching that vampire movie… Horror movies are not for me. I always had nightmares after watching them.
I could not go back to sleep, so I decided to visit my favorite interactive site.
Forums and sites that promote interaction with other people in the World Wide Web community are very popular nowadays.
Thoughts.com is one interactive site that allows me to enjoy maximum interaction, easy accessibility to new blogs, posts and updated news, while controlling the information that I would like to reveal online.
I could also interact with various people and learn from them as they learn from me. The opportunity to increase my knowledge through other people is limitless.
The activity had calmed me down. I know I’ll be able to sleep soundly now.
It’s time for my beauty rest. Good night.

IT'S JUST ME
By: RRchard
When I was born I thought I was different,
After a few years I found out everyone is different.
When I started playing with others I thought I should always win because I’m the best,
But after some games I realized that winning doesn’t matter as long as you enjoyed the game.
When I first went to church I thought I should go because my family does so,
But after some time I realized that even if I don’t attend, those who love God will still attend
After graduating from the elementary I thought studying was just part of life,
But after graduating from College, I found out that learning is part of life’s necessities.
When I started working I thought that it is a must because I need to earn for a living,
After a few years, I realized that working means helping others achieve their goals.
Recently I thought that talking to people - especially co-workers - is just part of life,
Lately I realized it is part of our journey towards deciphering what life really is.
When I had a girlfriend I thought that it was just for company,
But after a few years I recognized that is just the beginning of a lifelong friendship.
When I married I thought I found a wife,
But as years passed I realized that I took in someone to serve.
After years passed I thought I’m starting to lose my identity as a husband,
But instead became a father to whom my children and wife rely on.
More than ten years has passed and at one time I felt that I have lost my wife,
But upon examination, found out that she became a mother not only to my kids but to me as well.
Hope that as time passes by, God would continue to reveal more about life to me,
As I struggle to retain my identity, dignity and honor.
Now I know that time is indeed short and limited,
But hope that each moment spent would matter not only to me, but also to my family and friends…
But most of all to the Lord God Almighty, my creator, redeemer and friend.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
RRchard is young man of 35 occupying one of the junior positions in the academe. He's witty, fun to be with and one of the most intelligent persons I have ever met. He may dazzle you with his cognitive ability but he could also whip a joke or two in a jiffy.
He has only composed three poems in his lifetime, (for whom? - I could not reveal). This is the third one, so you must realize by now that his poems are like translucent shooting stars in the starless night; you'll never know, when you'll be able to witness their splendor again.
Read this soulful poem and bask in its meaning ... another poet is unveiled!
Let's all welcome RRchard to the blogosphere!
