LOVE, MAGIC, ILLUSION

pano natin masasabing mahal natin ang isang tao?..

sapat na bang alam natin na gusto natin sya palaging kasama.. na napapatawa ka nia sa panahong malungkot ka.. na nasasandalan mo sya kapag may problema ka.. na handa niang gawin kahit anong iutos mo..


paano ba talaga ipakita ang pagmamahal?

kapag hinigpitan tayo, sasabihin natin, nasasakal tayo...
kapag naman maluwag, sasabihin natin, wala syang pakeelam...


ano nga bang mas tama?

"pag mahal mo, ipaglaban mo"
o
"pag mahal mo, hahayaan mo syang maging masaya kahit hindi sa piling mo"


gaano ka nakakasiguradong mahal mo ang taong kapiling mo ngayon?

sigurado ka bang mahal mo talaga sya.. o bka naman nanghihinayang ka lang sa tagal ng pinagsamahan nio..

kpag sinasabihan mo syang mahal mo sya araw-araw, tinanong mo na ba sa sarili mo, kung totoo pa ba yung sinasabi mo, o baka naman nasanay ka na lang sabihin yun sa kanya..

sigurado ka bang gusto mo talaga syang makasama dahil mahal mo sya, o bka naman dahil natutuwa ka lang sa company nya..

do u really love him? or you just love the IDEA of you, loving him..


LOVE can be MAGIC.. but sometimes... magic is just an ILLUSION..

My Brother's Surprise

about 2 in the afternoon, adrian texted me, "ate, what tym ka uwi? my surprise ako sayo".. and i replied, "basta hindi nakakataba, masaya yan.. haha"..

when i got home, the first thing that i saw was this:yeah.. another addition to my gym equipment collection.. haha..
i had a bad day.. but when i got home, faith reminded me again that if everything fails, my family will always be there to make everything alright and make me smile no matter what..

All Things Bright and Beautiful

I was watching game ka na ba this morning and there was a question about this poem.  All Things Bright and Beautiful plays an important part in my life.. I can still remember the days when I hated it because I find too long to memorize, not to mention I have to act while reciting this poem and once in a while try hard to remember the next line. I remember mama and I was still making last minute changes in my actions, maybe 30 minutes before the competition.. haha.. After the competition, I loved this poem already, yes I won 3rd place.. I think maybe out of 10 or 12 contestants..

I guess I was very active during grade school, joining academic and non-academic competitions. Though, it's rare that mama is there in my competitions, even to the most memorable one, when i won the 1st place in a quiz bee competition, it was my teacher who was on the picture giving my biggest medal.. that's why i love my winning moment in all things bright and beautiful, mama is there and she's very proud..

now i question myself, ano kayang nangyari sakin nung high school? haha.. i took a complete revolution.. no competitions, no medals, no certificates, no leadership responsibilities.. but i don't have any regrets at all.. i enjoyed high school to the fullest.. as in..

anyway, i asked uncle google for the poem all things bright and beautiful...

All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.

Each little flower that opens,
Each little bird that sings,
He made their glowing colors,
He made their tiny wings.

The purple-headed mountain,
The river running by,
The sunset, and the morning,
That brightens up the sky;

The cold wind in the winter,
The pleasant summer sun,
The ripe fruits in the garden,
He made them every one.

He gave us eyes to see them,
And lips that we might tell,
How great is God Almighty,
Who has made all things well.

Francis M

i opened my laptop this morning while watching tv.. it happened to be the sis tribute to francis m.. the next thing i know, i'm searching youtube of videos about him.. i wasn't able to watch eat bulaga last saturday and all the videos i found in youtube touched me.. every video made my cry.. especially when i saw the whole eat bulaga family crying while tito, vic and joey was singing the kaleidoscope world.. to my observation, among the tvj, it was bosing vic who is really affected.. another thing worth noting is that when the balloons were flew, it almost formed the philippine map.. maybe kiko, did it..

i'm not a big fan of francis m.. but i really think he did a great job and he was a great man.. its rare to find a nationalistic man these days.. francis m did his best to promote Philippine pride, through his songs and even through his line of clothing.. he was also a great father to 5 equally talented children.. he's daughter unna even said that kiko would always tell her to do what makes her happy and don't waste time on doing something she doesn't like.. francis m, was also a great photographer.. he was so great that he was able to take a shot of baby grasshoppers..

again, its always true that we'll only realize what we have when we already lost it.. before francis m's death, people didn't realize all of these great things about him.. maybe to most people, he was just an out-of-style rapper.. but the truth is, he's more than what people think he is..

anyway, may i just quote the priest who gave the last mass to francis.. francis m,
"RAP IN PEACE"
