“nagbabanat ng buto”

kumakati ang palad

expecting money

agaw-buhay

at death's door, barely alive

sa kabila nito

in spite of this

hindi bale na lang

never mind, forget it

tulak ng bibig, kabig ng dibdib

saying one thing but meaning another

mahina ang loob

timid, easily scared

kaya mo 'yan

you can do it

may bukas pa

there is still tomorrow, don't give up
