A pause after the “posts” … (and what about prose?)

It’s been a week long respite and it was quite refreshing. I have been told that I am more better acquainted with a pen than engaging verbosely. Must be my loose tongue or perhaps the progression of my train of thoughts in nanoseconds. Or perhaps my sister is too kind to complement me with such.

I have written several personal anecdotes but haven’t posted it yet because my hubby censures it - Cant publish anything too revealing or too personal. Well, he started it . He wanted to have a blogsite for family and friends to see. So many pictures and yet he thinks it needs more. I had this note book full of thoughts and poetry that I have since time immemorial. I had lend it to his niece for homework when she had asked me about how to express oneself in poetry but having difficulty teaching her how. Anyhow, I found an audience with her and allowed her to peruse it for academic purpose only. My loves insisted that I put it to good use by posting some…hmmnn…I don’t know., we shall see… If magic is in the air… anything can happen…

KAYA MO PA BA?

Sadya atang kay daming problema ng tao sa mundo
Kaya’t tayong lahat lubhang nagkakagulo
Hindi mawarian solusyon sa Problema
Ang bansang PILIPINAS ay di naiiba.

Ang ating bansa ay nalilibing na sa hirap
Hilig kasi ng mga pinoy ay puro sarap.
Sana naman tayong lahat ay mamulat
Sa katotohanan – ay di puro pangarap.

Ang mga utak ng tao, iisa ang takbo
Puro mga silaw sa pera at bisyo.
Ito ang dahilan ng patayan at nakawan
Bawat isa ayaw malamangan.

Kriminal at Magnanakaw nagkalat saan man
Mag-ingat ka! – sa loob man ng yong tahanan.
Bata, Matanda – sinuman di ligtas
Sa mga taong walang takot sa DIYOS at batas.

Maging ang Gobyerno nakakabuwisit at nakakalito,
Namamahala kasi, sira-ulo’t masamang pulitiko
Malapit na naman ang eleksyon, nagpapa-bango,
Mga nagbabaitan – makarami lang ng boto.

Maging ang asul na langit ay nag-kukulay itim
Sa mga kumakalat na lason at lagim.
Di malamang mga sakit na naglalabasan
Para bang ang mundo sadyang binabawasan.

Pati ang ilog nagmistulang basurahan,
Mga isda nagsisipag-lahuan
Hindi na nangatakot sa mga banta ng kalikasan
Hudyat na dala, labis na hirap at kasawian.

Lindol, Bagyo, Tsunami at Tag-tuyot
Sabayan pa ng polusyon at salot.
Solusyong hinanap parang nagtatago
Ipinag-kait ba o sadyang bulag lang tayo.

Kaya mo pa ba, kaibigan ko
Mga araw-araw na problemang dinaranas mo?
Ano na nga ba ang dapat nating gawin,
Bago tayong lahat, tuluyang balutan ng lagim.

AAD

D' G...in restrospect:

My brother complained when I show him the blog i made. "How come I dont have any pixs posted?", he said. So I rummage thru the old album to look for the current family photo we have. So I came up with this.


Our current family pics taken during my bros wedding, July of 1996.

Me, Miel, Mom, Len, Marney, Dad, Choy and Jon


Dad is coming home two weeks from now. And he'll be staying for 2 long weeks. And i cant get over the excitement. What to cook! What would be the activities to schedules ?!... You know, stuffs memories made of. I haven't seen him for a quite awhile. His been living abroad since I was in grade school. The last time we saw each other was during my wedding way back in Sept. 1999. and he just stayed practically to see me walk the aisle. For 3 days he was here. The first day, was the date of arrival and a day spent with relatives, the second day was my wedding date, on my honeymoon they are scheduled to fly off NY.
Funny and strange, isn't it. I always dream off that one day ours is a relationship where we all live in the same house and neighborhood, not on the same Earth. Everyone'b busy to earn a good living to have a good life, but forget to live life. Welcome to the cosmopolitan way of life - where people moved in nano-second.

Friends are there.....

(Garfield & Friends Theme)

Friends Are There
To Help You Get Started,
To Give You A Push On Your Way

Friends Are There
To Turn You Around,
Get Your Feet On The Ground For A Brand New Day

They'll Pick You Up When You're Down
Help You Swallow Your Pride
When Something Inside's Got To Break On Through To The Other Side

Friends Are Someone
You Can Open Up To
When You Feel Like You're Ready To Flip

When You Got The World On Your Shoulders
Friends Are There To Give You A Tip

Friends Are There When You Need Them
Their Even There When You Don't

For A Walk In The Park, For A Shot In The Dark

Friends Are There

(garfield) I Don't Care

But Friends Will Care For You-u-u-u-u-u-u!

Valentine...

With Rowie Babe


My dear sweet friend Rowie... I missed her. I know how much she loved the song Valentine by Jim Brickman..kaya't last February I couldn't help thinking of her especially when this song is blaring on the radio... Its that time of the year. Pero, in fairness naman maganda ang kanta.. pero kung ito ang lagi mong maririnig ... siguro sukang-suka ka na...

Why do I miss her so much? Last time we saw each other was way back in 1998. She left Dec. 28, 1998 sa US. Colleague ko sya dati sa Valor. Pag ISO, kami lagi ang naiiwan na mag OT. Magkaiba ang topak namin ... pero kahit na ganon kaya naming tanggapin ang isa't isa...Mataray daw sya, sabi ng iba.. pero sa akin... yun ang ugali nya...di naman ako apektado..kasi tutuo sya... Kalimitan, pag me problema o gusto naming mag-relaks tambayan namin Jolibee o kaya sa El Sol. Isang platong pansit at halo-halo isasabay sa mga hinanaing at kuwento... ayos na...

Kahit saan, kahit kailan ...kahit malayo.. maasahan mo sya... Kung saan-saan bansa ako nakakarating, pero heto, lagi akong me card, picture, email o tawag sa kanya. Pag meron akong hinaing o problema. Pasko man o walang okasyon...gagastos ng pera para tawagan ka...Wala pa kaming 5 taong nagkasama - pero pagkasama mo sya ... parang di ka iba...

Isa pa, dala ang gitara, kakanta sya at ako ang tutugtog. Malapit na naman ang bday nya... Alam ko kukulitin pa rin niya akong pumunta sa Amerika ... ganon din ang kangyang asawa.
