Puwing
Umihip ang hanging pumukaw sa aking kamalayan
Umalimbukay ang natitining na alaala ng nakaraan
Gumiri-giri, umindak-indak sa aking harapan
Pumuwing sa mga mata kong sinikap kong takpan.
Mga alaala’y pilit na sumingit
Walang bisa ang ginawa kong pagpikit
Pumasok sa mga mata ang pilit na winawaglit
Kaya’t tumulo pa rin ang luhang kay pait.
Sugat
Ang puso ko ‘ata ay may sugat
Humahapdi pag nasaling ng alaala ng nakalipas
Kay sarap lagyan ng benda ng pangangarap
Na ako’y nasa bansang kung saan nagbuhat
Ngunit ang realidad ay sadyang kumakagat
Ang sugat ko tuloy tuluyang nagnanaknak.
Patid
Umalagwa ang damdaming pilit kong kinikimkim
Nagpatumbling-tumbling sa himpapawid ng paninimdim
Wala akong magawa kundi habulin ng tingin
Ang mga nagpasirko-sirkong lungkot sa papawirin.

Remembering the past is like driving your car very fast and looking at the rear-view mirror. You can see the area behind the vehicle through the back window. You can have a glimpse of where you have been to and all the things that you have passed through yet you cannot stop and go back because the car must continue to run forward for you to reach the final stop. (>end<)
... and I looked again at my rear-view mirror: passport, visa, telephone calls, my 23rd birthday, October 3, 2007, Emirates Airlines, apple juice, red wine, Panadol, Toni Gonzaga’s movie: ‘You Got Me’, Dubai, Al Madar Engineering, Al Lootah Company, Gulf Newspaper, RTA buses, Al Rais Travel, conference room, business development office, work… work… work… (then I keep driving and looking at my rear-view mirror.)
