A bowl of Oranges

2016-05-04T17:33:00.000-07:00

A bowl of oranges

In an empty range.

It's perfect with no edges

Why is it that it is inside this room?

Will it ever bloom?

Or is it going to face it's doom.

It is just me and you

That makes us two,

Wait a minute

I will just count it

1,2 and 3

There are 3 pieces of oranges

One was not fresh

It seems lik it was 3 days ago

I just really don't know

What I am going to do?

A bowl of orange doesn't last for too long. It is either you eat it now or watch it spoil.

Hot

HOT

She is hot

She is hot

She leaves across my classmates house and lot
She loves to drop her cellphone
That is reason it doesn't have a ringtone

She has a lot of brain teaser

That what makes her a great teacher
I really know a lot about her
And I can guarantee you the she also know a lot about Christopher
Who is she?
Is she the one that we usually see
or is she my future wife to be?

I will give you my Shoe

2015-09-30T06:33:00.001-07:00

I will give you my Shoe

This Shoe

Is like me and you

It was meant for me and now it is meant for you

Whether you will wear this old and I wore it when it was brand new

It still has a style that is only for the privilege few

So is it a deal?

Are you going to give me that Banana Q

For my Old Shoe?

Which still looks like brand new?

Which still fits me and You

My Crush and My Love

2015-09-11T04:20:00.002-07:00

I can't stop thinking about her

Whose name I am not allowed to share

I know you really want to know her name but I will just keep it to myself and I think that would be just fair

Because I am the writer

And because she might be your daughter

I know you are curious and you want to know her

And I bet you want to know how she looks and the style of her hair

She has a beautiful color of her eyes

You should also see the way she smiles

You should also see how she giggles when she joke around and tell lies

She is really cute on how she tell her fantasies

She told me she wants to cuddle watching the sunset over the seaI said no problem as long as we can be together, just you and me

She is the type of girl I want to marry

She is the wish that came true from my fairy

She is sexy, cute and really funny

She is looking out for me and not for my money

She has a beautiful smile like a Playboy Bunny

That is why she is the only one I call "Honey"

She is that kind of lady who is so sweet and taste very sweet

I swear to God she really Knocks me off my feet

Now I am looking at her face while she is asleep

And I promise to myself that this is the woman that I will forever keep.

Boomerang Love

2015-09-11T04:18:00.003-07:00

We started being in love with each other.

She has a cute mannerism and I don't even bother.

No one can come close to me and her when we are together.

We were like Slippers.

We feel useless when we are separated from one another.

When love hits you it will really knocks you down.

You both love to love at each other and you thought of your partner as a clown.

It was the only thing that makes you smile but in the end it is love will give you the reason to frown.

You thought it was the one.

But in an instant, everything you did with each other is gone.

It will be just a part of your memories, well forget about that after all it is done.

What I want you to do is live your life and have some fun.

Be willing to Spend your life with each other before the time runs out and both of you are gone.

Say this words to your love one,

" Good things and bad things may happen to us but I promise to you that no matter what happens I won't run "

Say those words and I promise to you the your partner will be stunned

Angeline

2015-02-11T13:00:00.000-08:00

Angeline

One day It was an ordinary day for me.
Then suddenly I saw a beautiful woman outside our house
It was love at first sight but I was very sad to know that I could

never get into your heart.
Everytime I try to get to know you it seems like time never let us do it.
All I can do is smile when I see your beautiful face.
Stare at you when you are not looking at my face.
Moments like this last for so many days.
I want to get over you but everytime I see you,
You always brighten up my day.
It was my birthday and I never thought it was also yours
It was a very special for both us and finally we get to know each other.
In an instant we both fell in love with each other.
We were meant to be for that special day of our lives
In that special night we both knew that we are going to be together

I never thought I could say I love you to you
And I never thought you can hear my voice saying those words
I never thought that I can hold you tight
I never thought that I can kiss you all night
I never thought that I can feel your love

Your love is all I need in this world
You complete what's missing inside me.
You are the inspiration in my life since the day I saw your pretty face
I have been to a lot of maze
Just to find the one for me and I never thought that I could see you and kiss you right in your face
by the time you are finished reading this
I want you to know that I really love you so much Angeline
I promise you that I will love you and make you my one and Only Queen

Treasure that Does not Shine

Treasure that Does not Shine
by Christopher Igarta
Love is hard to find it is like a treasure

You don't have maps to guide you to this one of a kind treasure

It is a long search that you have to endure

Just to make sure that you will find a true love that is pure

Love is not a gold but we are willing to do anything to find one

We are also willing to chase after it until we are unable to run

We wish for someone who has everything we wanted

We just need a Genie who could make our wish to be granted

Finding it is just one thing

Keeping it until the end of time is another thing
Just Imagine the Joy that it can bring
You will feel like you are in heaven flying without a wing

Just make sure that you are the last one who will keep that precious treasure

Fail your way to Success

by Chris Igarta

Does anybody here wants to be successful?

Well I know you can answer that question very quickly.

But let me ask you another question does anybody here are willing to fail? Of course not.

Who here is afraid of failing? Well I do and I know that failing is also part living.

You know People fail and as we grew older we learn to be afraid at failing.

Maybe its because that we care so much on how will the other people will look at us when we did something and it didn’t go as how we planned it.

When we were a child we are not afraid to fail.

We don’t even know what fail means.

Just Imagine when we are a child and we are afraid to do something because we worried so much on how will the other people will think about us.

Do you think we can walk and run right now?

No. because when we were a child we practice a lot and we fall a lot of times but our parents and the other people who surrounds us gives us energy to try again and we enjoyed the process eventhough we fall several times.

And so after a lot of times of trying we eventually mastered how to stand and then walk, jump and run. And we are here right now.

We walk to the entrance of Club Filipino to learn how to speak in front a lot of people.

Do you think if you gave up learning how to stand and walk when you were a child will get you in this place right now? Just think about it

We know a lot of successful people who become our idols because of their Achievements and we thought that they were very lucky to achieve this. And now I will show you some of the examples of people who failed a lot of times and they just try and try again. Until they become Successful at their chosen field of work. even if it took them years of practice to succeed because they know that quitting is never an option

My point Is failing is part of Success and if you don’t fail a lot of times in life. It just means you haven’t tried something different in your life. I know a lot of people will try to stop you from achieving your dreams and some of them will even think that you will eventually fall down but remember this, there is also a lot of people who is willing to help and guide you in your journey. So if you have a dream don’t be afraid to pursue it because in your mind if you think that you are going to fail. Well my advice don’t even bother to think about it. I suggest you should Just do it.

The Salesman Code

Written by

Christopher Igarta

I am a Super Salesman
I believe that I can do anything and sell anything
Whether it is a car,property, insurance or even your mother's Bling bling
I will call whoever you are as long as you were included in my listing
I will not stop cold calling eventhough all I can hear in the past few hours is ring ring

I am a Super Salesman
I am working 24/7
I am talking to my client eventhough it is past eleven
Because I know tomorrow this sale will make me rank number 1 from my previous rank number seven.

I am a Super Salesman
I have been through a lot of circumstances
from phone being hang up when I am talking to Appointments the are late cancelled
Men I am really puzzled
Eventhough this things happen I still believe that I improve my emotional muscles
This is a war against emotion eventhough I lost a battle that doesn't mean I lost the war
That is just God saying that " Survive this and I guarantee you that you will go very far"

This things may bring us sadness and an emotional scar

But I must start a new a day and start my car

I am a Super Salesman
Who earns more what others can't make in 3 days
I love my job so money loves me
I smile everyday and I give it to someone for free
That is the secret of being bless and being me

Bewilder part 1

Christopher Dan Igarta

I can sense someone When they are feeling down
No it is not magic, It is when I see them frown
I am telling you this because I just recently saw someone who is from out of town
She is 5 foot 2 with a beautiful eyes and the color of her skin is brown

So I look at her and she didn't look back
And at the back of my mind I said "fuck".
and so to gain her attention I tap her back
She look back and I saw a tear in her left eye
She said Hi and I said bye

to be continued......

You were Lucky

2012-03-16T01:54:00.002-07:00

You were Lucky

That I was able to meet you in the Lobby

You were lucky

That I have put your smile again and it made you happy

You were lucky

That I have bought you a flowers that made you cry

You were Lucky

That you had a chance to call me your Hubby

You were Lucky

That i was always there when you were sad and cried thoroughly

You were Lucky

That you I made you drunk and realize that I just gave you Cali

You were Lucky

That I gave you my coat when you are feeling cold during a weather that is icy

You were Lucky

That you didn't end up like Lucy

You were Lucky

That I left you with a note saying it is over and saying goodbye quietly

But now she is Lucky

Because She met a guy that she will treasure and Marry

Impromptu Poem part 1

2012-03-13T06:29:00.000-07:00

Life is a game

First of you were born and your parents gave you a name

They didn't expect you to be good or bad

But they expect you to live your life to the fullest so you won't be sad

After years have pass you will definitely grow

When you are growing up it seems like the time is really slow

But when you look back at what you have done in the past

You will start to reminiscence and tell to yourself that time seems too fast

In growing up we will experience different kinds of first and last

Our first kiss, first love, first crush,and our first time

And also our last breath,last laugh and our last time

But that is just part of life

Since we are born we are drawn to learn about a lot of things in life

And this won't stop through out our life

Learning does not end in graduation

Learning will continue until we have completed our mission

Well what is our mission?

Our mission is to fulfilll our visions

It drives us in making our decisions

Change

2011-12-14T06:51:00.000-08:00

Hi it's been a while since I haven't written something for my blog. you are wondering why did I put the title "change". It is because i have decided to also make my blog site in to a diary because i have something the recently occurred that I want to share with everyone.

The story goes like this yesterday i went to sm megamall to do some business. After I was done with my mission in SM Megamall. I went around the mall to see some opportunities that will present into my life and Thank God I found A lot of it. Hehhe. But after all those roaming around the mall I saw a store (it is a chinese store where you see a lot of gold items that would bring luck,charm and etc. to your life. I don't know what they call about those retail store but I know you already knew what I am describing) Ok back to the story. So I approach the lady who is in charge of the store and I ask her what does it mean when I had a dream and I saw a lot of Buddha Statues hidden in my cabinet and she said that it will bring me prosperity and in order to let it all come to my life i must buy a buddha statue which will cost me a couple of peso. Unfortunately I didn't bought the statue but she showed me a different one which I should put inside my pocket to attract money love and a lot of things in my life. She said it was on Sale so i bought it. She also told me to buy the lucky coin so it will be more effective but I didn't have enough money for it so I let it go. And then we chat for I think 15 mins and she was fascinated by my stories about my business so she gave me the lucky coin for free. After that I went home. So it a day has now pass and I was pretty amaze about the result. Right now my wallet is feeling the magic of this charm. And since I bought the charm a lot of deals has been closed and i am expecting a lot of comeback of my investment this coming week :).

The Reason

2011-07-31T00:52:00.000-07:00

Christopher Igarta

What makes us a perfect couple?
I will tell you why and i will make you understand why love has only one syllable
Our first kiss is unforgettable
Our love is invincible
Our heart is unbreakable
Our Bond is irresistible
We are like a double
Everytime when we get in trouble
We stay to each other and make it through in every rumble
We really love to gamble
and that is why our life is truly incredible
Our love will last forever and we won't let anyone pops it out like a bubble
We are built to last forever

Two hearts that never meant to be broken
or stolen

Apparition

2011-05-31T19:11:00.000-07:00

By Christopher Igarta

It was already dark
And yet I saw this beautiful lady in the park
A small sparkle in her eyes
Just made me realize
That she is really the prize
She is the type of girl dreamed by a lot of guys

A woman with so much mystery
I don't know so much about her history
When I ask something about her all she can say is "sorry"
All she wants to know is all about my incredible story
After 30 minutes and the time is now 12:40
She stood up looking like she was in a hurry
And told me that is a quite a lovely story
But I need to go now, but don't you worry
We will see again or you can come with me I will tell you a lot about my story
And tell you where I was buried

The Pursuit of future Happiness

2011-03-31T06:17:00.000-07:00

Christopher Igarta

When I started trying to approach you

That is the sign that I wanna be close to you

Our first meeting was meant to be

You are the type of girl I never thought that I would see

This must be serendipity

That is the first time I believed in destiny

I never told this to anyone so if you are reading this it is just between you and me

I know we are meant to be together

I won't promise you and me will be together forever

Because I know you are already used to hearing that from one man to another

But I can promise you one thing and that is to have our moment and hold our hands together

While walking in the Marikina river.

Carpenter

Christopher Igarta

Last week we watch Odysseus
We have no choice cause the English department is the one who choose
We dont have the power to refuse
I thought it was another crappy movie
Because it was dated back in 200 B.C.
But i was wrong
Because it is beautiful and it was too long
Odysseus is a great epic movie
That everyone should see
It was written by Homer
I dont know who is Homer
Is he a carpenter?
But when I read it on the internet I was wrong he is not a carpenter
He is a magnificent writer
Im sorry my homie Homer

One of my first poem that I wrote during my 4th year in highschool

Thesis

2011-03-28T20:17:00.000-07:00

Christopher Igarta

This week I learn how to make thesis
It should be specific
And related to its topic
It should have an assertion
Which means declaration
The First chapter of the research paper is Introduction
S.O.M. is my section
I learned a lot with our lesson
The statement shoud have a main idea
because it is the main criteria
It should be narrow
which rhymes with sparrow
Damn it! I will pass this tomorrow

There is a story behind this poem.This is my first poem my teacher told us that we need to make a journal about our class she said that it can be in narrative , poem, descriptive for. I decided to make it in a poem and this is the result the next morning i passed my journal and when I got home and went to sleep. The next morning my teacher was happy about my poem and she read it in our class.I was happy about it and it inspires me to do more. That is the reason now why made poems today . I wrote a lot of poems now but some of them has only one copy and I lost it hehe. Well anyway that is the story behind all of these hope you like it and keep on reading my poems because readers are my inspiration in making another one

Qoutes that inspires me

2011-03-27T23:24:00.000-07:00

I just want to share you some of the qoutes that keeps me going when i am down.

The more you sweat in training, the less you bleed in Battle.
You can't win if you don't play.
It may be difficult but it is possible.
If you want something you've never had. You must be willing to something you've never done.
Winners never quit, quitters never win
Good things in life are free
Cry in the dojo, Laugh in the Battlefield
A person who never made a mistake
never tried anything new

I will update this as soon as I find some inspirational qoutes

Girl made in Heaven

2011-01-01T22:59:00.000-08:00

By Christopher Igarta

When i woke up this morning

I saw this girl walking

Am I still dreaming?

Or is this love that I am feeling

This must be love at first sight

Oh damn! her ass is so tight
Will it be alright
If I told her I wanna make love to her all night
I really like her body
Who is that Lady?
Does she already have a Daddy
Cause I wanna make her my baby

I like her eyes that matches her beautiful hair

Oh shit! I can't help it I wanna talk to her

I gotta go and get her

I know a lot of men are following you like your on Twitter

But none of them wanna treat you better

When they got a taste of you they will only leave you bitter
I am not trying to be your teacher
I just want you to fall to someone who is more better
You are perfect you are a keeper
So i am going to make you an offer
And that is to date yours truly Christopher

Mutual

2011-01-01T20:03:00.000-08:00

by Christopher Igarta

You started being in love with each other

No one can come close to you when you are together

You don't want to be separated from one another

When love hits you it will really knocks you down

It was the only thing that makes you smile but in the end it is love that gave you the reason to frown

You thought it was the one
Everything you did with each other is gone

It will be just a part of your memories, well forget about that after all it is done
What i want you to do is live your life and fun

Summertime

2010-12-27T06:34:00.000-08:00

by Christopher Igarta

It's kinda boring this summertime

Because there is nothing to do during my sparetime

I went outside to do some crime

But it didn't went well because i was sentenced to some jailtime

I was just joking around i didn't really go to prison

Because there is really no reason

For a person like me to be imprisoned

What I really did this summer is I enrolled in a driving school

So they can give some driving lesson

It cost a lot per session

But it was worth it because I drove around the city of Quezon

After all that commotion

Driving became one of my addiction
