Pantasya ng Kalalakihan
Kay lambing ng iyong tindig, harap at likod walang palya
Kay lambot ng iyong mga labi, bawat halik dulot ay pag-ibig
Kay bango ng iyong suot na nanunuot sa laman mong kay lambot
Kay ganda ng mukha na tila baga'y ikaw ay dyosa
Kay kinang ng iyong mga mata na tila na kung tumitig nakaka baliw talaga
Kay ganda ng hubog ng katawan, dama ang hinaharap sa sandaling yapusin ka
Kay sarap ng init ng palad pag dumampi sa galit mong pag-aari
Kay lagkit ng iyong tingin, kahit sino ay maglalaway
Kay lalim ng kanyang kwebang sa dilim ay magliliwanag ka
Kay sama ng iyong tindig lumulubog sa daigdig
Kay kati ng iyong palad at walang ibang hinanap kundi ang alahas
Kay bilis mong hubarin ang iyong suot na nagpapakita ng masagwa mong balat
Kay sagwa ng iyong mukha isang madilim na panaginip na walang patid
Kay lisik ng iyong mga mata na tila kung tumitig ay papatay sa bilis ng kisapmata
Kay taba ng hubog ng katawan, dama ang tiyan sa sandaling magyakapan
Kay sakit ng dulot ng iyong palad pag dumapi sa inosenteng pisngi
Kay lagkit ng iyong tingin kahit sino mukhang gusto mong patusin
Kay lalim ng iyong kwebang daang libo ang nakapasok na

Pag Ako'y Tinamad
Ang daming dapat gawin. School works, practicum requirements, humanap ng bahay na malilipatan, humagilap ng pera sa mabuting paraan, matulog, kumain, at syempre huminga...
Bakit pa kailangang mag-aral ng mag-aral, hindi naman lahat ng pinag-aaralan e magagamit sa trabaho at tunay na buhay. So what kung ang tawag sa dinadaanan ng pagkain papuntang bituka e esophagus? Anong maitutulong nun sa buhay natin? Alam mo ba sa Filipino ang esophagus? So what kung malaman mong ang Ms. Universe 1974 ay ginanap sa Manila, Philippines at ang nanalo dito ay Spain. Walang kakwenta kwenta. Pag ako tinamad hindi na ako mag-aaral ng kahit ano!
At dahil dyan... tinatamad na ako.
Basta lagi nyo na lang tandaan, mas nakakatamad gumawa ng wala. :)
Ang Iyong Desisyon ay Aking Tadhana
Ang tulang ito ay naisulat sa pagninilaynilay na ang tinatawag nating tadhana...
Natuklasan ko na ang tadhana pala ay hindi totoo, nagiging totoo lamang ito kung hindi natin makikita na lahat ay pinagsunod sunod na desisyon lamang...
Nagdesisyon si Babae na pumunta dito sa lugar na 'to... Nagkataon namang ganun din ang desisyon ni Lalaki. NAKATADHANA na magkita sila. :)
Ang Iyong Desisyon ay Aking Tadhana
Nababalot ng lamig ang buong paligid
Unti-unting nanunuot ang kalungkutan sa aking daigdig
Hindi alintana ang mga maaring mangyari
Ni hindi ko maisip kung paano mapipigtas ang tali
Sa buhay na puno ng kahibangan
May lumapit na ika mo'y makapangyarihan
Isang ngiti ay sadyang nakakagaan at nagdudulot ng ligaya
Mga matang waring nagsasabing kay sarap mabuhay sa twina
Dahan-dahang umusad ang buhay kong pagal
Ngayon ay napupuno ng pagpapala ng Maykapal
Dahil sa isang desisyon mong ako'y lapitan
Nagbigay kuhulugan sa aking buhay at ating pagmamahalan
Salamat sa walang pagtatanging pagmamahal
Ang puso ko ngayon nagkarron ng patutunguhan
Ngayon ako'y nagkaroon ng kaibigang makakasama
Dahil sa ang iyong desisyon ay aking tadhana

9 Things Teachers Wish Parents Knew
Parents, do you wonder what it takes to help your kids do their very best at school? Good Housekeepingwent into classrooms at schools around the country and talked to the teachers who spend their days with your children. Here's what they said about how you can help them help your kids:
1. Don't be a stranger!
Talk to your child's teacher early and often. Back-to-school night shouldn't be the only time you connect, but it's a great time to introduce yourself and find out the best way to contact her in the future. Then stay in touch with updates on how things are going at home, questions about your child and his work, or to schedule conferences to head off trouble (should you worry about that string of C's?). Most teachers have e-mail at school, which is a great way to check in.

2. Learning doesn't stop at 3:15.
You can help the teacher do a better job by encouraging your child to show you something he's working on at school, suggests Ron Martucci, who teaches fourth grade in Pelham, New York. It doesn't have to be a big deal: "Ask him to demonstrate how he does long division or to read his book report out loud," says Martucci. "Every time your child gets a chance to show off what he knows, it builds confidence."

3. Stay involved — even when you don't know the material.
You can provide moral support and be your child's cheerleader no matter how well (or poorly) you did in a certain subject. "Parents tell me they didn't take trigonometry or flunked chemistry, so how can they check the homework?" says Tim Devine, a high school social science teacher in Chicago. "But we don't expect you to be an expert on every subject." Just knowing a parent is paying attention can be very motivating for a student.

4. Keep your child organized.
That means helping teachers with the paper chase. "I spend way too much time tracking down tests or forms I've sent home for a parent's signature," says Judy Powell, a fifth-grade teacher from Richmond, Virginia. Usually, the missing items are crumpled up in the bottom of the kid's backpack, along with lunch leftovers and other clutter. Powell's solution: Have your child empty his backpack every day as part of a regular after-school routine. Set up a special place, such as a box in the kitchen, where he can put the day's papers, and provide another spot, such as a desk drawer, for old assignments that you want to save. A bright-colored folder is a good idea, too, for toting homework — and signed papers — to and from school. And about those supplies: Keep plenty on hand. "Kids run out of pencils and paper, and it'll be three weeks before they'll remember to tell you," says Powell.

5. Let your child make mistakes.
Don't forget, he's learning. Teachers don't want perfect students, they want students who try hard. "Sometimes parents get caught up in thinking every assignment has to be done exactly right, and they put too much pressure on their child," says Brian Freeman, a second-grade teacher from Red Spring, North Carolina. "But it's OK for kids to get some problems wrong. It's important for us to see what students don't know, so we can go over the material again."
Is your child struggling with an assignment? Help him brainstorm possible solutions. If he's still stuck, resist the temptation to write a note. Instead, encourage your child to take charge by asking the teacher for help the next day.
Hands off bigger assignments, too, says Marty Kaminsky, a fourth-grade teacher in Ithaca, New York. "I assigned a project on inventors, and several kids brought in amazingly detailed reports with slide-shows. They looked great, but they clearly weren't the work of a nine-year-old," he says. "I was much happier with the posters with the pictures glued on crooked, because I knew those children did the work themselves. What matters isn't the final result; it's letting a child have ownership of the project."

6. Raise a good reader.
Even if your child isn’t a natural-born bookworm, you can encourage him to love literature. Keep reading together, even if your kid can breeze through a book on his own. Reading aloud can expand his vocabulary, and your chats about the book will help him understand and enjoy more. But you might want to shelve books that seem way over his head. It’s tempting to push literary limits, but the goal is understanding and enjoyment.
Use audiobooks as a tool to inspire love of reading. They aren’t “cheating;” they’re a terrific way to engage kids in a good yarn. Check out bookadventure.com for more with books kids will enjoy.

7. If the teacher deserves a good grade, give her one.
Teaching isn't easy, and there are days when a kid has a tantrum, or a teacher feels like crying because a parent speaks to her harshly. So why not e-mail or call when your child enjoys a class event or says something nice about the instructor? And if you feel the teacher is doing a good job, let the principal know. Volunteering is another way to demonstrate your enthusiasm and support, even if you only have time to help out once a year. It shows your child — and his teacher — that you really care about his education.

8. The teacher's on your side — give her the benefit of the doubt.
Rachel James, a third-grade teacher in Reson, Florida, was having a terrible time with one of her students. For days, the boy had been disruptive, rolling his eyes and sighing dramatically whenever anyone spoke to him. Naturally, she had to reprimand him. "His mom called and accused me of picking on her son," says James. "When I told her what was going on, she was shocked." After the mom had calmed down, they worked out some ways to change the boy's behavior. "A lot of parents go into attack mode when their child complains about a teacher," says James. "Or they take the problem to the principal, so the teacher feels blindsided. But parents need to get all the facts before they react."

9. There is a secret to better grades.
Set up a brief get-together with your child's teacher(s) early in the school year. A one-on-one conversation is the perfect time to bring up important issues, like the fact that your child struggled in math last year or tended to hand in homework late. Also check in with the school district’s or teachers’ website in order to stay on top of your child’s assignments, grades, test dates and scores — and more. Find out what resources there are for you, and use them. If your child is having a tough time in a particular class, don’t just swoop in and try to make things right. Encourage your child to meet with his teacher to resolve a problem on his own.
If there’s issue between your child and a teacher, don’t automatically run to the principal behind the teacher’s back. Certain situations that involve your child’s safety do merit a meeting with the head of school, but otherwise, going over the teacher’s head signals a lack of respect. When you can’t agree on a solution, set up a meeting with the teacher and a school administrator, who can help work things out

Memo From Your Child
Dear Mum and Dad,
Please help me to love myself.
Don’t spoil me; I know that I don’t need everything I ask for. If you give me too much, nothing is special.
I’m testing you so please help me gain the self-discipline I need by teaching me through discipline that is fair and appropriate.
I need my sense of dignity, so please don’t belittle me, especially in front of others. Like you, I respond better when spoken to with respect.
Don’t ridicule me, or imply that my behavior makes me a bad person. This only erodes my sense of self worth.
When I say ‘I hate you’ I don’t mean it and don’t mean to upset you. What I hate is my feeling of powerlessness.
Please be patient with me and I may surprise you in the long term.
When you have a bad day, please don’t take it out on me. Please don’t shout or nag, when you do my ears close down. I hear much better when you speak, not yell.
Help me to feel good about myself by focusing on my positive traits, rather than the negative.
Help me develop a sense of trust. Don’t try to bribe me or make promises you can’t keep, I feel that I can’t trust you or the world when my hopes are raised and then dashed.
Please be consistent, I become confused when you say something one day and then the rules change. I need boundaries and rules that are clear and work across the board.
The safer I feel the more of my sensitive inner self and emotions I will trust you with.
Please don’t ridicule my fears, no matter how silly they may seem to you. To me they are very real and to conquer them I need your understanding and reassurance.
Remember I learn from your actions as much as your words. When you apologize to me it helps me to admit my mistakes and try to correct them.
I need to be loved and recognized for who I am and not my actions or achievements. This helps to strengthen my sense of self.
Show me that you think I am worthwhile and capable, thereby teaching me to love and accept myself.
Remember, to thrive, I need only your love and understanding.
Finally remember that I love you and I don’t expect you to be perfect either.
Tears Crawling My Cheeks
Last night, I went to the house of my dearest at Valenzuela. When we arrived, her mom was reacting about the scenario happening at the Quirino Grandstand. I didn't know it was happening because I was at the office the whole day and we don't have access to news. There was a hostage drama happening and there were other nationals involved in the scene. An ex-cop, Senior Inspector Rolando del Rosario Mendoza, armed with an automatic rifle, held a Hong Thai tourist bus with 25 passengers hostage, August 23, near the Quirino Grandstand.
As I wrote this blog entry, my heart is beating fast while the whole world had gone wild because of this case here in the Philippines. I dont like to make this too long, I just want to tell the world that I am hurt by how these other pathetic nations, even some of our fellow Filipino, judged the whole country because someone made a very heart-troubling crime.
First and for most, I would like to apologize on behalf of all the wrong doers in the world. CNN had declared that Philippines is the worst place to go to. I wondered why? Because some Hong Kong nationals has been hostage? What if the hostages were Filipinos, would they react that way? What about other crimes being done in other country? My point here is not to say that Philippines is better than the other country, what I'm trying to say is that we need not say such words because for me, they are unnecessary. Filipinos are no less than the Americans, Europeans or whatever nationality there is. We Filipinos have the same quality as any other nation can provide. This message also goes out for those people who comment bad things about the Philippines even without the real experience of being here. We, especially me, are proud to become a Filipino.
Tears are slowly rolling down my cheeks as I think about what had happened to the victims and to the hostage taker. It is of no sense to point fingers and blame whosoever there is to blame. The hostage taker is a victim also, a victim of the system, a victim of the mind corrupting media. I just cant help myself but to wonder where things went wrong in the hostage taker's heart. He was once awarded as the most outstanding policeman if I'm not mistaken, he is kind at heart. Things happen because things happen... though sometimes we wish that we can change the wrong deeds of the world.
Philippines is now banned in China and Hong Kong... one word that I could say: Thank You. It has been a very mind bugling situation to me how these "chinese" treats Filipino domestic helpers in Hong Kong... demoralizing Filipinos and treating them as slaves. I can't blame our countrymen for enduring such act because they are motivated to earn money for their family left here in the Philippines. I don't know the extent of this "ban" thing but if ever this includes the banning of domestic helper there... it will be high time for us to make and build our own way... in our own country!!!
Still, I am proud to be a FILIPINO!
A letter from a teenage Filipino to the WHOLE WORLD
August 23, 2010
"A letter from a teenage Filipino to the WHOLE WORLD”
As you are reading this letter, I bet that you have seen/heard about what happened earlier in our country.
Tourists were hostages of a policeman here, Rolando Mendoza.
After a few hours of the horrible crime, some of the victims were dead including the hostage-taker.
I wrote this letter not just to apologize but also to let everyone know that we Filipinos are not all like Mendoza. We are loving and good-hearted people.
For so many years, our country has been standing tall and surpassing every dilemma; be it small or big. Years ago (back when I wasn’t born yet), you have watched us fight for what we think is right. We fought for the democracy of our nation.. The EDSA revolution. But that’s just one out of many.
Second. We Filipinos have been serving other countries for our families and we treat you as our own as well. With all due respect, I thank you all for giving us the trust through the years. For helping us to become what we are now.
The Philippines is more than just a group of islands. We are a nation of strong and remarkable people. A country of beauty and love known to be hospitable and well-valued. I humbly apologize for what happened tonight. No one in this world would want something like that to happen for life should be valued.
I politely ask the attention of the world. Please do not judge and mistreat us just because of what happened tonight. I have been searching the net and found terrible things. Hong Kong advices to avoid travels here, China and HK bans Filipinos and that Philippines is the worst place to go.
I can’t blame you for what you have decided but I hope that you could understand. Our country is now in a sea of problems. And I know for sure that we helped you in a way or another. Let peace and understanding reign this time.
I know that this letter will just be trash but I wish that you would understand. On behalf of the Philippine population.. WE ARE SORRY.
As a song puts it…
And I believe that in my life I will see an end to hopelessness, giving-up and suffering. And we all stand together this one time then no one will get left behind. Stand up for life. STAND UP FOR LOVE
Sincerely yours,
Reigno Jose Dilao
Catbalogan City, Samar

Teaching at the Same Time Learning
“It is impossible to claim that all good teachers use similar techniques: some lecture nonstop and others speak very little; some stay close to their material and others loose the imagination; some teach with the carrot and others with the stick. But in every instance, good teachers share one trait: a strong sense of personal identity infuses their work. ‘Dr. A is really there when he teaches.’ ‘Mr. B has such enthusiasm for his subject.’ ‘You can tell that this is really Prof. C’s life.’ ” --Parker Palmer, The Courage to Teach
Learning and teaching is the concern of a student teacher. But these two are complex process. It can however be defined as a change in disposition; a relatively permanent change in behaviour overtime and this is brought about by experience. Learning can occur as a result of newly acquired skill, knowledge, perception, facts, principles, new information at hand etc.
My interaction with my new environment brought me great changes in my behaviour. These changes are also the acquisition of new and more knowledge, skills, and attitudes that enables me as a learner to make better and more adequate reactions, responses and adjustments to new situations and conditions. Learning in the real sense can be measured by how many ideas and experiences have been left in the individual after the teaching or experiencing process has been done.
The first time I stepped on the grounds of Makati High School, stream of thoughts was playing in my mind about growing so much as a future teacher. I was very excited to meet the person, my CT, who will be a big part of my learning and my growth. Now all I can say is that, she didn’t fail me. My growth was beyond compare, I am a better and more determined student soon to be teacher. The learning I had will be forever in my heart.
Faces of the students that I encountered are engraved in my heart. I think I have learned more compared to the things I’ve thought them. It is I who eventually become the teacher in front. It is heart warming to see that they, the students, follow you not because they are afraid but they do respect you a lot. Respect can’t be gain instantly even if you are a teacher; you need to work hard for it to gain it. You need to let the students realize that you are there not to boss around but because you care for them as if they are part of your life. Let them feel you love them for them to be able to love themselves.
The four walls of the faculty served as my home. The whole vicinity of Makati High School served as my sanctuary!!!
Thank YOU!!!

Smile
Smiles is one of the greatest gift that God have ever deposited into the emotional reservoir of mankind, but it is shocking and alarming that we allow such a valuable endowment to waste away every blessed day.
Lots of individual would have change their situation and atmosphere if they can wear a little bit of smile everyday. Smiles are one of the greatest means of communication, yet the amazing and incredible thing about it is that it can be gotten and used at no cost!
What is smile?
Before we begin to analyze some of the powerful effects of smiles, I think it will be helpful for us to understand the meaning of this power means of communication known as smile.
Smile is said to be a facial expression in which the corners of the mouth are raised, usually expressing amusement, pleasure, or approval.
We are going to be looking at some of the amazing things that we can easily accomplish with our free and simple but yet a dynamic smile. You will be startle at what you can do with your smile or rather what your smile would do for you.
Effects of Smile.
The following are the effects of smiles:
1. Make an individual approachable.
The first you will be able to achieve without stress with your smile is the ability to be approachable. Have you noticed that when you give a little smile, especially to a person you are meeting for the first time, it prompts such a fellow to open up and want to relate with you?
The reason for this is quite simple, it is because your smiles is telling the other person that you are an interesting person to be around with, and tell me who doesn’t want to be around a happy fellow?
I personally discovered this to be true. Human are emotional being, and we most times talk through our emotions than gestures, verbal or any other means of communication that we might have available or would rather want to use.
And there is something interesting about this, it gives you the opportunity to connect emotionally to the person you are communicating with, the emotional bonding found in this kind of act is very influential and commanding.
So, giving away some smiles will boost your image and personality, which would want everyone to be around you. Why don’t you give it a trial and see the effect.
2. It improves your physiognomy.
There is a saying that goes like this "I have never seen a smiling face that is not beautiful".
This is exceptionally true and factual. I also personally discovered that smiling make me look more handsome that I would ordinarily look.
This explains the reason why actors, model and influential people do express some bit of smile; this is quite powerful and effective. One powerful effect that smiles will have on you is to improve or uplift that facial expression or yours.
Check this out, try to remember those people that you consider ugly and unattractive, you will notice they look more eye-catching and striking when they wear just a simple smile. The reason is not far fetched, this is the same principle we have discovered and it is simple. A smile improves your physiognomy!
3. Changes your Atmosphere.
This is very effective and powerful. Do you know you can drastically change your atmosphere through a simple smile? This is might sound easy and cheap, but I tell you, it’s quite incredible as this aspect have been utilized without much notice and awareness.
Do you remember finding yourself in an unpleasant, obnoxious and horrible situation? And possibly by chance you stumble on something that stimulates that unused effective communicative tool in you, how do you feel thereafter when you released that idyllic smile, you feel relaxed and fulfilled.
That is exactly what a simple smile can do for you. It gives you an opportunity to re-create your atmosphere at will. This is quite interesting, this implies that you can easily place yourself right there in your own world of pleasure and bliss, and guess what you can achieve this without any formal training and it’s absolutely free of charge!
4. Make somebody’s day.
Another powerful thing you can achieve with you smiles is making somebody’s day, and I bet it you will never be forgotten for simple that act.
Looking around your neighborhood, office or even your home you will discover that there are lots of people that are desperately stressed and need some sort of encouragement to move on, those individuals awaits your smile to make their day. You never can tell the power and effects of your smile on such individual until you extend your smile to them.
I have lots of people tell me that they would have made more imparts on their society if only they have sufficient funds. Some even conclude that they would have loved to give but they do not have money to do just that.
But I bet to that there is something you have that can be given at will, and that is your smiles. You can make much impart by just smiling towards an individual today. And as you would realize that this cost you nothing except you willingness and your interest.
By sending out that smile, what you are doing is that, you are telling the person that he is worth your attention and time even though it is petite and short. Merely giving an attention to smile or return a smile is a great thing that could ever happen to an individual. So by doing that you are already making an impart that is more than having a fund. Because at times you might run out of funds, but never can run out of smiles!
So, why don’t you make somebody’s day through your smile? They are waiting just for that smile of yours to motivate them to the next level. You will everly be grateful you did.
Here are simple steps yet powerful enough to cause a change in somebody’s life. I believe you will experience transformation as you involve yourself in this exercise.
Just like fellow said "Dale Carnegie, in his book How to Win Friends and Influence People, best summed up the lasting impacts of a smile: "It costs nothing, but creates much. It enriches those who receive, without impoverishing those who give. It happens in a flash and the memory of it sometimes lasts forever".

Finally, I'm in LOVE
This is actually God's plan in finding my perfect match...
Lord, I am about to be ready to commit again if ever I fall in love again with someone else... Could I take her anytime I want? I have prayed for her for quite some time now.
But the Lord answered me. "No, not until you are satisfied , fulfilled and content with being loved by me alone. You need to give yourself totally unreserved to me because in me your satisfaction is to be found. And when you learn to commit yourself to me alone, only then is the right time for you to be capable of perfect human relationship that I have planned for you long before you thought of it."
Finding satisfaction with oneself requires a lot of things... it is never easy, as a human being, to be contented with what is life has to offer at the present. Lord, please teach me the language of true contentment so I can understand the true language of True Love.
"You will never be united with another until you are united with me. You will never learn to speak and understand the true language of love until you hear me speak it. You will never learn how it is to love and be loved until you feel the tender touch of my Unconditional LOVE."
With this, I want to thank you Lord for opening my mind and for giving me a teachable heart to learn how to plan for my future...
But the Lord answered, "I want you to stop planning. Stop wishing and allow me to step in and give you the most surprising and exciting plan that you can imagine. You are my child. I want you to have the best. Please allow me to bring it to you. Fix your eyes on me and expect the greatest things as you watch."
I understand my dear Lord, with you I will not be forsaken. Teach me to trust in you with all of my heart and lean not on my own understanding. As a Christian, I Am Nothing without CHRIST. I know you have beautiful plans for my life.
"Keep experiencing the satisfaction that I AM. Learn all the things I tell you and be patient. Just wait. Don't be anxious. Do not worry. Don't look around and feel at the things others may have got. Yours will be different because I LOVE YOU."
"Don't look at things you think you want. They may not be the things I want for you. Look up straight at me because you might miss what I want to show you. And then, when you're ready... I'll surprise you with a lover far more wonderful than what you would ever dream of. But I won't let you have her until you are ready and the one I prepared for you is ready, until you are both satisfied exclusively with me and the LIFE I have prepared for you. :)"

SioMai LOVE with Coke
Kahit gaano man kabuti ang buhay, dumadating talaga ang pagsubok na kailangang harapin. Kahit gaano naman kahirap ang buhay, may mga bagay padin na talagang dapat ipagpasalamat sa Panginoon... kagaya ng tatlong pirasong siomai, isang basong coke at ang pagkakataong makasama si Ms. Anne! ♥
☺☺☺ UNANG PAGKIKITA
Pag baba ko ng sasakyan, mukha ng pagkagulat ang unang dumapo sa mukha ko ng makita ko ang isang binibining di na bago sakin ang mukha dahil tatlong taon ko itong nakakasalubong sa loob ng pamantasan... tatlong taon ko ding hinahangaan ang kanyang nakakabighaning mukha. Hindi maitatanggi dahil talagang halatang halata sa mukha ko na nagulat ako, hindi nagamit ng isang Psych major ang kanyang talento sa pagtatago ng nararamdaman. Para namang isang pahayag mula sa libro ang aking nadama ng hinimay himay ito ni Ms. Anne at agad nyang nalaman na nagulat ako.
Inisip ko na kasama lang siya ni Jacob dahil sila ang magkatabi noong mga oras na yun. Agad akong lumapit sabay sabing, "Di ba Lit Major ka from PNU?". Agad naman nyang tinanong na isa akong Psych Major. Nagtataka pa din ako kung bakit sya andun, tinanong ko ulit sya, "ano pong role mo?". Parehas pala kami. Siya pala iyong babaeng wala noong workshop. Magkasama pala kame sa eksena.
Early pull out ang dating ng shoot date na 'to kaya 2am pa lang e magkakasama na kame.
♫♫♫ BYAHE PAPUNTANG LAGUNA
3 service ang hinanda para sa buong tropa. 8 kame sa loob ng service papuntang Laguna, at lahat sila ay nagnanais matulog. Pero kameng dalawa ni Ms. Anne e parang mga naka droga, ang titibay ng mata namen at halata ang pananabik sa mga maaaring mangyare sa araw na ito.
Kahit pasikat pa lamang ang araw e we talked about stuffs everything under the sun. We share common knowledge kasi pagdating sa Faith, Theories of Personality at syempre pagiging guro. Buong dalawang oras na byahe, walang preno ang aming mga bibig at tenga sa pag-uusap. Lahat ng maisip e bibigkasin. Nalaman ang mga simpleng pilosopiya sa buhay.... hanggang sa dumating na kame sa location. Hello Pila, Laguna!
♪♪♪ BREAKFAST sa location
Hotdogs, corned beef, fried rice and a newly found friend.
Masarap mag almusal sa isang lugar na tila ba dinadala ka sa panahon ng kastila. Hindi alintana ang pagod sa byahe at puyat. Walang humpay na kwentuhan at walang humpay na kulitan pa din.
►►► SHOOT PLACE
Mula alas kwatro ng umaga hanggang sa mag-aalas kwatro na nang hapon ang nangyareng paghihintay. Madami kasing eksena ang bagong commercial na ito. Astig talaga ang lugar dahil makaluma ito at ang isa pa sa nagpasaya sakin ay ang museum na malapit sa shoot place. Nagdadalawang isip kame ni Ms. Anne kung pupunta kame sa museum kasi nga naman baka mapagalitan kame ni Direk. Pero ayus lang, dumaan kame saglit sa Museum (isa sa pinakagusto kong gawin) at nagtingin tingin ng mga lumang artifacts doon. Ang saya kasi ang simpleng shooting sana ay nagkaron ng kulay dahil sa aking nakasama at aming nagawa.
Nagpicture kame ng mga lumang bahay, tumawa ng walang humpay dahil kay lucky at nagkwentuhan tungkol sa mga nakaraan naming buhay pag-ibig... :)
Madami akong natutunan kay Ms. Anne at sana madami din syang natutunan sa akin. Freudian... past affects the present! tama?? TAMA~~
♥♥♥ TAKE ONE
Dumating na nga ang oras na kame na ang sasabak sa eksena, take one!
Kakasagot pa lang sayo ni Shoemart, Rustan's medyo nahihiya ka pa sa kanya at dahil wala kang pera, siomai lang ang treat mo at isang litrong coke.
"We must express our emotions thru eye contact", yan ang naisip namen dahil kailangang mag-express ng pag-ibig with siomai and coke. :))
Sablay ang unang take dahil hindi daw halata na may namamagitan samin. Ang weirdo naman kasi, sabi nung mag katrabaho lang kame tapos pag dating sa actual scene e magboyfriend pala kame. Weird din dahil ang daming eksena, kami pa ang magkasama. Magkaparehas na school ang pinanggalingan, hindi naman kami naguusap noon at ngayon eto kame, umaarteng kakasagot lang nya sakin! FATE!
☼☼☼ TAKE TWO
Parehong scenario pa din, kakasagot lang pero this time kailangan ang tamamng pikit sa pag-inom ng coke. At syempre ang tamang pagkain ng siomai! Dapat daw macho ang pagkain hindi pacute at para naman kay Ms. Anne, lagyan ng "ahhh" effect pag katapos uminom ng coke.
▬▬▬ TAKE THREE
This time, matagal na kame... as in super tagal na dapat ang relasyon... mga isang buwan! :)) kaya inusog ng konti ang upuan para medyo mapalapit. May subuan ng siomai ang nangyare. Sweet kaso kulang padin daw dahil wala daw akong ginawa kundi pagpacute!
Ang hindi ko talaga maiwasang tignan ay ang kanyang mga matang tila nangungusap. Para bang nagsasabing ang sarap mabuhay, napakaexpressive. I can't resist her charming eyes.
▲▲▲TAKE FOUR
"Madami ng nangyare sa inyo... na magandang bagay". Yan naman daw ang eksena ngayon, closer... better!
May bulong factor na. May ibubulong ako sa kanya na ikakataba ng kanyang puso... at take note! Hindi ko mapigilang ibulong si INC (haha kame na nakakaalam nyan). Kada bulong tawa at kagat sa siomai. Inom sabay "ahh". Konting tingin na nagpapahiwatig ng pag-ibig at tila ba'y sayang saya kame sa aming ginagawa.
▼▼▼ TAKE FIVE
Hindi pa din kontento ang client at ang director, "we are wasting too much film already"... Kinabahan na kame, pareho ata kameng sablay sa acting... hmmm!
Pinausog pa ako ng konti. May nakaharang na gadget kaya hindi namen masyadong magawa ang dapat naming ginagawa, pero we find ways... Busog na rin kame sa siomai at sa coke. Naging title na nga ng eksena namin ang SioMai Love. Ipakita natin nagmamahalan tayo... :) May bulong factor, may pag-inom at pagkain ng siomai. Konting tapik sa akin dahil kinikilig sya...
♥♥♥ TAKE SIX
"Alam mo namang mahal na kita mula pa ng una"
"Hindi ko mapigilan ang puso ko sa paghanga sayo"
"Mananatili ka sa puso ko, at lahat ng benta ng sapatos ko ay para sayo"
"Mahal ka daw ni INC"
"Nasa school pa lang tayo e talagang may gusto na ako sayo"
*Bigsmile*
Ilan lang yan sa mga katagang binubulong ko! Double Mark na ang take five, pero ito pa din kame sa take six. Nagpapakita ng pagmamahalan sa harap ng camera!
♀♂♀ TAKE SEVEN!!! FINALLY!
"MOVING ON!", means pwede nang tumungo sa susunod na eksena. :)
Dito sa take seven namin natagpuan ang chemistry na dapat meron kameng dalawa. "Kayong dalawa siguro e may gusto sa isa't isa sa totoong buhay kaya nagkakahiyaan kayo sa pag arte" asar pa nga ni direct. Hindi ko naman naitanggi dahil crush ko naman talaga sya first year pa lang ako. Pero more than her pretty face, its the purity of her soul that makes her lovely. ♥
Inuulit ko, ITS THE PURITY OF HER SOUL that makes her lovely!
May pag punas na sa pawis ang eksena! SAYA!
♦♦♦UWIAN NA!
Ang ating ending... hatid sa bahay nyo! Ngayon tuloy hinahanap hanap kita! SAYA!
Pauwi naflatan pa ng gulong... FATE IS REALLY DEMANDING THAT WE SPEND MORE PRECIOUS TIME TOGETHER! hahaha! Filingero! CIAO BELLA RAGAZZA! Til next time that we see each other again!
THEME SONG: Hinahanap hanap kita by Sitti! :)
Upang Maramdaman Mo ang Pag-ibig ko
Kapag ang ulan ay pumapatak sa iyong katawan
Kung pasan pasan mo ang buong mundo
Halina't tayo ay magyakapan
Upang maramdaman mo ang pag-ibig ko
Kapag bumabalot na ang kadiliman at sa paglabas ng mga bituin
At walang handang dumamay upang punasan ang luha mo
Hahawakan kita, daan taon mang ang abutin
Upang maramdaman mo ang pag-ibig ko
Alam kong hindi ka pa handa
Asahan mong hindi kita bibiguin
Alam kong ikaw na nung una pa lang kitang makita
Walang pagdududa, ako'y iyong marapatin
Nais kong ikaw ay paligayahin at ang mga pangarap ay ating tupadin
Walang bagay na hindi ko gagawin para sayo
Suungin ang hangganan ng mundo, pinakamalalim na dagat languyin
Upang maramdamam mo ang pag-ibig ko

YOU ARE FORGIVEN!
RELATIONSHIPS 101:
LESSON 15:
FORGIVE.
Whatever she said, whatever she did, FORGIVE. Oh yes, maybe it hurt; oh yes, it is really his fault, but still FORGIVE. The initial arrow of pain comes from the offender. BUT the succeeding arrows of pain are from US already because we choose to remember! FORGIVE. Not so much for him or for her, but for YOU, to be FREE from being tied to anger. Whoever she is, he is, FORGIVE!

Perfect Two - Auburn
[Verse 1:]
You can be the peanut butter to my jelly
You can be the butterflies I feel in my belly
You can be the captain and I can be your first mate
You can be the chills that I feel on our first date
You can be the hero and I can be your side kick
You can be the tear that I cry if we ever split
You can be the rain from the cloud when it's stormin'
Or you can be the sun when it shines in the mornin'
[B-Sec:]
Don't know if I could ever be
Without you cause boy you complete me
And in time I know that we'll both see
That we're all we need
Cause you're the apple to my pie
You're the straw to my berry
You're the smoke to my high
And you're the one I wanna marry
[Hook:]
Cause your the one for me for me (for me)
And I'm the one for you for you (for you)
You take the both of us of us (of us)
And we're the perfect two
We're the perfect two
We're the perfect two
Baby me and you
We're the perfect two
[Verse 2:]
You can be the prince and I can be your princess
You can be the sweet tooth and I can be the dentist
You can be the shoes and I can be the laces
You can be the heart that I spill on the pages
You can be the vodka and I can be the chaser
You can be the pencil and I can be the paper
You can be as cold as the winter weather
But I don't care as long as we're together
[B-Sec:]
Don't know if I could ever be

You know that I'll never doubt ya
And you know that I think about ya
And you know I can't live without ya
No..
I love the way that you smile
And maybe in just a while
I can see me walk down the aisle

Traffic Light ( A Reaction )
It is said that there are three colors of a traffic light to tell us and to let us know when to stop, when to let go and when to take action...
STOP
Tama na ang pag mamahal sa isang tao ng lubos ay hindi nangangahulugan na siya na ang para sa atin. Minsan na din akong nagmahal ng lubos at ipinalangin ko na sana ay siya na hanggang sa katapusan ng mundo... Walang konsepto ng happy ending akong naiisip dahil hindi ko kailanman inisip na titigil ang aming pagmamahalan. Walang ending.
Hindi tama na isipin natin na ang pagmamahal ng sobra ang nagdudulot ng sakit kundi ang mga masasamang pangyayari tulad ng pag ka taken for granted at pagtatarantado ng ating minamahal. Pagsasayang ng pagkakataong tayo ay nakakadama ng tunay na ligaya...
Totoong masakit isipin na may mga taong hindi kayang magpahalaga sa mga taong nagmamahal sa kanila... pero mas masakit na malaman na kaya naman nilang pahalagahan pero hindi nila ginagawa dahil hindi nila iniisip na pwede itong mawala at magsawa... dahil kampante sila na mananatili ang pagmamahal na to hanggang sa umabot na mapagod at magsawa na :(
Siguro nga kailangan nang tumigil sa panahong hindi na nakikita ang iyong halaga bilang umiibig sa taong mahal mo... nagsasama dahil nakasanayan na lang...
Habang patuloy mong minamahal ng sobra ang taong ayaw naman magpahalaga, patuloy na masasayang ang iyong pagmamahal at masasaktan ka lang... Ayaw mong tumigil dahil takot ka ding mawala ang taong mahal mo, wala ka ng pakialam kung tawagin ka mang bayaning papalit sa martyr na si Jose Rizal basta maipadama mo lamanag na ikaw ang nagmamahal... ikaw ang may ginagawa para sa inyong dalawa... pero wala..... di mo mawari kung tanga siya o nagtatanga tangahan...
Takot kang mawala siya, pero siya ba takot na mawala ka???
Ikaw na ang nagmamahal pero siya ba napapakitang mahal ka? :(
LETTING GO
Ang pag lelet go ay hindi naman pagsuko sa pagmamahal kundi pagtanggap na sadyang may mga bagay na kailanman ay di tatagal ng walang hanggan...
Gustuhin man nating ipaglaban, kung ang taong dapat kasama nating lumalaban ay wala na... wala na ding patutunguan ang ating pakikipag laban... Minsan inaakala natin na ang taong ito ang syang makakatuluyan natin, hindi natin nalalaman na itong tao na ito ang syang magiging dahilan ng pagluha natin.
Kailangan matutong mag let go para makawala sa sakit ng nakaraan... pag daanan ng mag-isa ang sakit at hindi gagamit ng rebound.
Masakit ba ang magmahal? Hindi.
Masakit bang pakawalan ang taong minamahal? OO.
Kung minsan ka nang nagpaalam, dapat matuto ka na ng manindigan. Pero sa likod ng paalam ay ang pag-asang minsan ay babalik ang taong nagpaalam sayo... hindi para kumalimot ng agad agad. Ngunit minsan ay kailangang tanggapin na hindi lahat ay bumabalik, ang iba ay tuluyan ng lumilisan at kailanman ay hindi na malilikom pa ang mga nasayang na pagmamahalan at saya...
Hindi mo man gusto ngunit ito ay kailangan mo... pagtanggap.
May mga taong dadating upang muling patamisin ang mapait nating buhay ngunit tandaan na dapat nating kayanin mag-isa sapagkat mahirap mang gamit ng ibang tao para lang maka move on tayo. Halimbawa ngang naibsan ang iyong sakit dahil sa bagong taong dumating, pero nasaktan ka ng di sinasadya ng taong ito... muli lamang babalik lahat ng sakit dahil ang taong inaasahan mong hindi mananakit sayo ang siyang gumawa nito muli!
Panandalian nating isara ang mga puso para sa iba, alamin at matuto sa mga naging karanasan natin sa nakaraan... at pag handa na tayong mag mahal muli, buksan muli ang puso at wag matakot mag mahal muli.
TAKE ACTION
While someone breaks your heart, YOU need to fix it. Wag mong iaasa sa iba ang pag kabigo ng iyong puso. Hindi naman tubero ang ibang taong maaaring magmahal sayo para ayusin yang puso mo... mag alay ng pusong buo sa taong muling magmamahal sayo. Sa pagkakataong magmamahal muli, maging maingat pero wag pipigilan ang sarili na mahalin ang taong ito.
Totoong nakakatakot masaktan muli, at nakakatakot din harapin ang mga pedeng mangyari, pero HINDI nakakatakot magmahal muli... Masaya ang magmahal. Walang anumang emosyon o kalagayan ang siyang hihigit sa pagmamahal. Hindi tapang ang kailangan para mag mahal muli kundi ang pusong buong handang ibigay ang minsang nasayang, isang pusong magmamahal ng buo! Hindi iyong natatakot at dadaanin na lang sa tapang ang pagmamahal.
Sabi ng iba, kumbaga sa elevator e pagsiksikan na wag na nating ipagsiksikan pa ang sarili.. may hagdan naman daw na pwedeng gamitin... ngunit hindi mo ba naisip na ang elevator ay kusang babalik at magkakaroon ka ng pagkakataon upang makasakay muli. Ganun din sa pag-ibig... may pagkakataong magmahal muli.
STOP

Sa Sarili Lamang
Wala akong pinagaalayan ng pag-ibig, hindi na ako karapat dapat mahalin at wala pa sa panahon ko ang magmahal... matagal tagal na din mula ng iniwan ako ng konseptong "pag-ibig". Ampalaya? Na traffic at di maka move on? Bato kaya di na makadama (sana nga, kaso may sakit pa din e)? May mighty bond at di maka let go???? :((
Hindi na matapos tapos itong sakit na dinadala ng aking puso... sabi nga ng iba masyado daw akong bitter. Hinaharap ko ng mag-isa itong sakit, may mga malalapit man saking mga babae, pinagbabantaan ko na silang wag na wag ma iinlove sa isang katulad ko dahil hindi ako karapat dapat. Walang nararapat sakin kundi ang sarili ko lamang. Mag-isa. Walang kasama.
BAWAL MAINLOVE sa katulad ko dahil matagal na akong pinagiwanan ng konseptong ito. Pede mo akong hangaan pero wag na wag kang mahuhulog dahil tiyak na lalagapak ka lang... kung dadating man ang araw na pagsisisihan ko ang mga salitang sinabi ko, at least ligtas ka at di ka nasaktan ng katulad ko..
HIRAP NA HIRAP MAG MOVE! AKO BA TO???
Life is too short... but pain stays too long. Tears now crawling my cheeks...
Minsan kailangan kong makita ang mga maliliit na bagay, magsimula mag-isa, gawin ang mga bagay na dati naming ginagawa, makita ang kasimplehan ng buhay ng walang siya at subukang iappreciate ang mga bagay bagay.. madrama, oo. dapat daw hindi na ako bitter sa buhay ko, pero paano magsisimula kung minsan sa panahon ko e sya ang tinuring kong buhay ko? Wala ng nagbibigay kulay sa buhay ko... wala ng nagpapatamis ng mga ngiti ko... at wala ng dahilan para matuto akong umibig muli (sana meron)...
Ang pagiging mag-isa ko ay dulot ng mga choices ko noon sa aking buhay. Pero kahit papano, natututunan ko ng tumingin sa ngayon at bukas.. kalimutan ang sakit ng kahapon... Mag-isa!
Nagtatanong ako kung bakit hindi ko makita ang magpupuno ng ligaya, kapiling sa tuwing nag-iisa, sa tuwing lungkot ay nagbabanta... Kasi ako ay mag-isa. May kasama man pero may harang padin...
Dapat kong malaman na hindi lang sa kanya umiikot ang aking mundo, at hindi lang sa akin iikot ang mundo nya at hindi lang sya sakin sasaya...(masaya na nga sya kasama ang ex bestfriend ko, hindi daw sila nagdadate, nagkikita lang, kumakain at gumagawa ng ano mang trip nila. hindi naman sila pero nagkikita sila, in short masaya sya sa mga kaibigan nya..) . May kanya kanya pa rin kaming pagkakakilanlan at dapat kadikit ko padin ang pagkakakilanlan na yun... pero ang sakit. Para bang walang MC kung walang _ _ _. Pero si _ _ _ pedeng mag exist kahit na walang MC. Dapat intact sa sarili para may matitira pa sa sarili ko kapag nasaktan ako, mali pala na binigay ko lahat. Hindi lang dahil nasasaktan ako kundi dahil mag-isa ako, ako ay ako. Pero hindi ako intact...
Di ko na iniisip na ako pa ay magmamahal at mamahalin
Di ko na iniisip na ako pa ay kayang sagipin
Wala ng dadating na pag-ibig na tunay
Kailan ma'y di na mapapawi ang lumbay
Wala ng makakapiling sa buhay
Di ko na iniisip na ako pa ay kayang sagipin
Wala ng dadating na pag-ibig na tunay
Kailan ma'y di na mapapawi ang lumbay
Wala ng makakapiling sa buhay

Mahirap Maging Mahirap (Part II) - Education? A right or a Priviledge?
Nakaupo ako ngayon sa harap ng computer dito sa San Marcelino, Manila.
Gumagawa ako ng Lesson Plan at magpapaprint ng visual aids na gagamitin ko sa pagtuturo bukas sa lima kong klase, maya maya lang ay mamimili ako ng ilang mga kagamitang makakatulong sa akin para sa pagtalakay sa klase.
Nag-oojt na kasi ako ngayon sa Makati High School. Kahit papano ay ramdam ko na ang sarap ng pagiging isang guro... masaya, masakit sa ulo pero talagang nakakataba ng puso lalo na kapag nakikita mo ang mga estudyante mong natututo sa mga talakayan. Masarap ding malaman na kadalasan ay hindi ikaw ang nagtuturo sa mga bata, bagkos sila ang nagtututo sayo ng mga bagay na inaakala mong alam mo na. Ipinapakita ng mga batang ito ang tunay na reyalidad ng buhay.
Mahirap maging mahirap talaga... sabi nga ng isang estudyante, "buti pa ang pera may tao, ang tao wala namang pera"... Nakakatawang isipin pero totoo nga naman. Karamihan sa mga estudyante lalo na sa public school ay kapos sa pera at tipid na tipid pagpumapasok.
Meron akong nakapanayam na estudyante, repeater sya at medyo nahihiya na siyang pumasok kasi daw sya lang ang repeater sa klase. Tinanong ko kung ano ang dahilan kung bakit siya nagrepeat, "Family at financial problem", mabilis nyang isinagot sa akin. Dalawang beses na sya sa parehong taon at sa parehong dahilan din. Nakakalungkot lang isipin na ang pag nanais ng bata na makapag-aral ay nahahadlangan ng mismong pamilya at ng problema sa pera.
Noong nakaraang araw naman ay nagkaron ako ng meeting kasama ang mga miyembro ng isang organisasyon sa Sikolohiya. Nilalaman ng limang iba't ibang unibersidad ang nasabing pulong. Bilang batikang miyembro ng organisasyon, ako ang nanguna sa pagpupulong... madaming napagusapan, napag kwentuhan hanggang sa umabot sa pagsasabi ng tuition fee ng bawat university.
Iyong isa 2000+ per UNIT.
Ito namang isa 1600 per UNIT.
Iyong isa around 1500 per UNIT daw.
Iyong isa 1000+ per UNIT.
At itong isa, kung saan ako nanggaling 1500 per SEMESTER.
Kung merong 24 units kada sem ang nag-aaral doon sa ikatlong school ay makakapag paaral na sya ng 24 students sa eskwelahan kung saan ako nag-aaral. :) Ibang iba ang layo ng presyo ng matrikula sa mga pribadong paaralan at sa pampubliko.. at ang masama pa kahit mura na ang binabayad sa pampublikong paaralan ay dito padin makakatagpo ng madaming naghihikahos sa pera.
TARA TULONG TAYO!!
Sabi ng kaibigan ng tatay ko tatlong bagay lang daw para maging mayaman ka sa mundo...
Una, PINANGANAK kang mayaman. Madaming oppurtunities para sayo, may mga pamana at kung ano ano pa.
Ikalawa, MAKAPAGASAWA ng mayaman. Kaso matatanggap kaya ng isang mayamang pamilya ang isang lalaking katulad ko na ubod ng hirap at hikahos sa materyal na yaman sa mundo. Baka isipin pa ng taong mahal mo e pera lang ang habol sa kanya... whew!
Ikatlo, PAGSUSUMIKAP. Ito na lamang siguro ang malinaw linaw na pwede kong magawa. Nais kong pag aralin ang magiging anak ko sa nais nyang paaralan kahit magkano pa ang bayad dito. Makakaraos din sa hirap. Tiwala lang sa sarili.
And edukasyon ay nananatiling karapatan ng isang tao kaya bilang mga nakakaalam nito, magsumikap tayo na maghandog ng opurtunidad upang lahat ay magkaroon ng pagkakataon upang maka pag-aral.
Nais kong pasalamatan lahat ng nagpapautang sa akin... kilala nyo na kung sino kayo. Makakabayad din ako. :)

Age Doesn't Matter
I saw pictures of my long lost friend back in my third year high school. I noticed that this friend is with some adult person. The shine in my friend's eyes is telling me that my friend is really in love with this person.
This only proves that age doesn't matter when it comes to love or being in a relationship. We really have our own choice and sometimes, we go along the way with the track of our destiny.
I never had a relationship with a girl who is younger than me... all them is older than me.
I expected them to be more mature than I am in handling our relationships, but my expectations do nothing except to hurt me. :) They are mature, yes they are but not in all things. Same goes for me, I know I intend to be very childish at some stuff but I know my limitations.
We all tend to become a child when we got hurt and cry. I am like a child now, amazed with every love story of other people I know because I was hurt with my own.
People may come to think that age defines MATURITY, but I tell you, it is LEARNING from our experiences that is actually makes our maturity reach the top. UNDERSTANDING can't be based from age, it is based from the openness of the mind. TRUST doesn't develop as age grows older, in fact it is developed from the time we were born up to at a certain level in our babyhood (Trust vs. MisTrust) :) HOPE is not gone when people are old, until the end of our very own breath, we are hoping that we are able to leave a legacy for the next generation. FAITH is develop through out the years, some may have it at a very young age and lost it as that person grew up, some may gain faith at a very "late" age, well nothing is late when it comes to having one's faith.
LOVE is available to everyone who believes in it. If you don't believe in it (hmm.. like me??) LOVE is still there no matter how young or old are you. ♥ Spread LOVE. ♥

Handog Ka ng Panginoon
Sa lahat ng panahong naramdaman kong ako'y napaglaruan, ako'y nagreklamo
Ang hilig ko sa pagrereklamo ay alam mo
Sa lahat ng pagkakamaling paulit ulit kong ginagawa, kahit na ako dapat ang sisihin
Ay tinututo ko pa rin sa bawat patak ng ulan
Hindi ko man ipinalangin, walang senyales
At sa gitna ng kalungkutan
Inihandog ka ng Panginoon upang ipakita ang Katotohanan
May higit pa sa buhay bukod sa aking nadarama
Lahat ng aking tumbas ay nasa harap ko lamang
At kung bakit ako nabuhay, noon ay di ko alam
Ngaun alam ko na, dahil inihandog ka ng Panginoon
Sa mga panahong suot ko ang awa sa aking sarili
Binabalot ng sakit
Sa lahat ng basongh nakita ko, laging kalahating puno
Ngayo'y umaapaw na tila isang ilog na nagpapalaya ng aking kaluluwa
Sa lahat ng pag-aalinlangan ko sa buhay, ako'y lumaya na
Ako'y lubusang naniniwala
Inihandog ka ng Panginoon upang ipakita ang katotohan
May higit pa sa buhay bukod sa mga sakit sa pagkawasak ng tahanan
Lahat ng aking silbi'y ngayon alam ko na
Kung bakit ako nabuhay dahil pinili ako ng buhay
Ngayon alam ko na, inihandoh ka ng Panginoon
Sa iyong piling ako ay bago
Sa bawat haplos ako'y ganado
Kailangan kong aminin
Ako'y pinagpapala rin
Inihandog ka ng Panginoon!

Simula na
Nang lisanin ako ng pag-ibig sa buhay ko... doon nagsimula...
Mahirap mabuhay mag-isa, kagaya nga ng sabi sa kasabihan, no man is an island. Isa't kalahating tanga ka pala e man is a man kaya diba? Anyways, totoo naman na mahirap mabuhay ng mag-isa, mas makakabuti kung may makakatuwang ka sa pagharap sa buhay ng may kasama. Makakasama mo sa mga problemang kahaharapin, sa masasayang sandali na pinagdadaanan mo.
Ako ay MAG-ISA! Masaya pero mahirap.
tinatamad na ako mag-isip.
Basta ang masasabi ko lang, nang lisanin ako ng pag-ibig sa buhay ko... doon nagsimula... ang pagpasok ng konseptong "pag-asa"..
