<description><![CDATA[Honey, Darling, Mahal, etc. are just some of the many terms of endearment you desperately wanna hear]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><em><strong><span style="color:#ff00ff;">Honey</span>, <span style="color:#ffff00;">Darling</span>, <span style="color:#ff6600;">Mahal</span></strong></em>, etc. are just some of the many terms of endearment you desperately wanna hear from your super loved one. It is something that can energized a dying spirit, uplift a discouraged soul and most especially, something that can soften a shattered heart.</p>
<p>But how can you get up from bed <strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">if one day, your man opted to leave you and never again called you sweetie?</span></strong> How can you deal with the idea that your relationship had fallen apart? What will it be after? Will you be able to cope up and move on?</p>
<p>I am a girl, not to mention a biatch. I have experienced to <span style="color:#00ff00;">love and be loved</span>. Had a traumatic encounter with the aliens, rather with the thing they so called love.</p>
<p>From my early childhood (that was during my elementary days back in early 90s), I was lucky(?) enough to feel the thrill of having crushes, the adventure of being teased by your classmates that made your chubby cheeks blushed. However, when you started to step on a higher degree of love, sometimes aside from the wonderful feeling of being in love, there would be moments that you will be blown by some fender-bender mishaps. This is the time that heartbreaks enter the the pulchritudinous scene.</p>
<p>Heart affliction is poignant. It&#8217;s never easy whenever a significant rapport between two people comes to an end. It really can turn your whole world upside down. Recovering from this kind of emotional distress is very difficult. After you have committed your self to that other person, your dreams and all your hopes, letting go is such a very hard thing to do. So help me God.</p>
<p>And let me end this with <strong>Proverbs 14:13</strong>, <em><strong>American King James Version</strong></em> <em>&#8220;Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is heaviness.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>This page is solely dedicated to <span style="color:#333399;"><strong>Mr. Charles Daniel Faeldon Belgado</strong> </span>and for all those people outhere hurting because of love.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>salin ng &#8220;El Romance del Bardo&#8221; ni <strong>José Antonio Ramos Sucre </strong>mula sa kaniyang aklat na <em>La torre de Timón</em> (1925).<br />
salin sa eleganteng Filipino ni <strong>Roberto T. Añonuevo </strong>mula sa orihinal na Espanyol.<strong><br />
</strong></p>
<h2>Ang Romansa ng Makata</h2>
<p style="padding-left:90px;">Pinalayas ako mula sa buhay.</p>
<p>Nakatago sa loob ko ang magalang na pag-ibig, ang lubos na debosyon, ang nakapapayat na libog, para sa matimtimang dilag na malayo sa aking abot.</p>
<p>Nakalagda ang kapalaran sa aking noo.</p>
<p>Tatakas ako palayo sa lungsod upang magmuni, sa gitna ng malulubhang guho, sa gilid ng monotonong dagat.</p>
<p>At doon, habang binubuhay ng kirot, ay iinog ang mga anino ng nakaraan.</p>
<p>Nagunaw ang bayan natin sa pagsalungat nang lumusob ang kawan ng mga mangmang.</p>
<p>Ikinawing sa tradisyon ang tagumpay sa harap ng babaeng maringal, na nakaligtas sa di-magaping lahi. Kailangan niyang kusang sabayan tayo, nang di-alintana ang angking halaga.</p>
<p>Nakita natin siya sa huling pagkakataon, isang araw bago ang sakuna, malapit sa baybayin, na nasasaplutan ng mababangis na ikot ng mga kanaway.</p>
<p>Mula noon, tanging paglimot ang makapagtutuwid sa kasiraang-puri ng kabiguan.</p>
<p>Sumusupling ang mga damo sa larangan ng digmaan, at pinalulusog ng dugo ng mga bayani.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Babae akong isinilang sa mundong ibabaw,</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>itinuturing na mahina ng aking bayang kinalakhan.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Mas mababang uri daw ako, sumunod sa kalalakihan.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Dahil hindi ako nagtataglay ng espadang mahiwaga.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Haliparot ang turing ko sa aking sarili,</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>dahil gusto kong kumawala sa kahong kinalalagyan ng babae.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>kahong nagdidikta sa dapat kong maging pagkatao,</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>na hindi inaalintana ang tunay na ako.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Dakila ako.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Dahil may mga bagay na ako lang ang nakagawa, nakagagawa, at makagagawa.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Dahil ako lang ang nakakilala, nakakikilala, at makakikilala sa aking sarili.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>At walang pwedeng manghusga sa aking pagkatao.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Hindi naman sila ako, at hindi rin ako sila.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Pangarap kong maging alitaptap,</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>na nagbibigay ng liwanag sa gitna ng dilim,</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>nagdadala ng pag-asa sa sukal ng kawalan,</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>na nagpapaningning sa mata ng inosenteng musmos.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Maubos man ang aking sinag, natupad ko naman ang isang pangarap.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong> </strong></p>

Salin sa eleganteng Filipino ni <strong>Roberto T. Añonuevo</strong></p>
<h2>Ang Lingid na Babae</h2>
<p>Sa itaas ng restoran ng magdamag<br />
Ay ilahas ang dayaray na malandi;<br />
At nahatak magsisigaw ang lasenggo<br />
Sa hininga ng patakás na tagsibol.</p>
<p>Sa ibabaw ng lansangang maalabok<br />
Ay tumimo yaong inip sa tahanan;<br />
Di kumislap ang paskil ng panadero’t<br />
Nagpalahaw yaong bata sa kawalan.</p>
<p>Bawat gabi, sa likuran ng tarangka,<br />
May kung sinong nakagora ang darating,<br />
Karay-karay paglakad ang mga dilag<br />
Papaloob sa hinukay na imburnal.</p>
<p>Sa may lawa, may langitngit ang paggaod<br />
At uungol ang dalagang lumiliyad;<br />
Samantalang sa itaas nitong langit<br />
Ay palihim sumisilip iyong buwan.</p>
<p>Bawat gabi, bumabanda sa baso ko<br />
Ang malungkot, nag-iisang kaibigan;<br />
At tulad ko ay mabait, umiingit<br />
Sa mabagsik, mahiwaga na inumin.</p>
<p>Mga lasing na utusan ay tumambay<br />
Sa may hapag, samantalang humihiyaw<br />
Ang lasenggong may paningin ng kuneho:<br />
“Lumalabas ang totoo kung may alak!”</p>
<p>Tuwing gabi, sa sandaling nakatakda<br />
(o kung hindi’y guniguni lamang ito?)<br />
Ay may anyo ng dalagang nakasutla<br />
Ang nanawid sa pawisang durungawan.</p>
<p>At marahang magdaraan ang babae<br />
Sa punduhan ng lasenggo nang mag-isa’t<br />
May pabango ng sariwang mga hamog.<br />
At uupo nang marahan sa bintana.</p>
<p>Nakabalot sa alamat nitong simoy<br />
Ang kaniyang sutlang damit na marikit,<br />
Ang sombrero’y may plumaheng malalamlam,<br />
At may singsing ang mapayat na daliri.</p>
<p>At nahigop ng kakatwang kalapitan,<br />
Tinanaw ko ang talukbong na maitim<br />
At nasagap ang hiwaga ng baybayi’t<br />
Panginoring mahiwaga sa ibayo.</p>
<p>Tinanggap ko’y ang sikretong malalalim,<br />
At kalinga yaong araw ng kung sino;<br />
Bawat tagay, gumuguhit sa kalul’wa<br />
Ang matapang na alak kong tangan-tangan.</p>
<p>Lumalaylay ang plumahe ng abestrus<br />
Sa isip ko, lumong-lumo at matamlay.<br />
Di maarok yaong bughaw na paninging<br />
Bumubukad sa malayong baybay-dagat.</p>
<p>Nakakubli itong yaman sa loob ko<br />
At ang susi’y ako lamang ang may hawak!<br />
Ay, tama ka, o lasenggong balasubas!<br />
Ibubunyag nitong alak ang totoo!</p>

Salin sa eleganteng Filipino ni <strong>Roberto T. Añonuevo</strong></p>
<h2>Hubad</h2>
<p>Kung ikaw ay nakabestida,<br />
Mailap sa haraya nila<br />
Ang mga mundong malilikot<br />
Sa loob ng damit mong suot.</p>
<p>(Kaya sa liwanag ng araw<br />
Hindi nga namin malalaman<br />
Ang ningning ng laksang bituing<br />
Nakatimo sa papawirin.)</p>
<p>Ngunit lastag ang buong gabi,<br />
Ganap na hubad itong gabi,<br />
Panginigin ang mga mundo,<br />
Ang magdamag ng mga mundo.</p>
<p>Kumikinang ang iyong tuhod,<br />
Kumikinang ang iyong pusod,<br />
Kumikinang ang lahat-lahat<br />
Na lira sa pusong makislap.</p>
<p>Kambal, namumurok na suso<br />
(Gaya ng pares na ga-buto<br />
Sa siksik, malantik na bunged<br />
Ng katawang kaibig-ibig)</p>
<p>Kumikislap ang iyong dibdib.<br />
Mga susong tirik na tirik!<br />
Ang iyong likod! Iyong harap!<br />
Ang makikinis mong balikat!</p>
<p>Pag hubad ka, ang iyong mata<br />
Ay hubad ko ring nakikita.<br />
Ang pagtitig mo’y tumatagal,<br />
Gaya ng tubig na mabagal.</p>
<p>Sa loob ng iyong talukap<br />
Lulutang, lalangoy, lulundag<br />
Ako tungo sa iyong mundo<br />
Paloob sa lahat ng iyo.</p>
<p>Sisisirin ko&#8217;y iyong sukdol,<br />
Hanggang ikaw ay mapaungol;<br />
Kaluluwa mo’y magagalak<br />
Sa akin nang hubad na hubad.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Hanggang ngayon hindi pa rin gawa ang ilaw sa kuwarto ko kaya nagtiya-tiyaga ako sa dilim. Nakalimutan kong i-charge ang gamit kong ilaw sa kuwarto kaya wala akong magamit kundi ang head light ko na pang hiking. Maliwanag naman to kapag tinapat sa kisame kasi nagre-reflect sa buong kuwarto dahil kulay puti ang kisame. Meron ding konting illumination na galing sa labas kapag naiwan ng kapitbahay na bukas ang ilaw nila sa labas. Kahit na mataas ang bakod abot pa rin ang liwanag dahil sa taas ng bubong nila kung saan nandun ang naninilaw na liwanag (siguro bombilya lang yun).</p>
<p>Late na ako natulog kagabi, around 11:30-11:50 PM, dahil nanood pa ako ng &#8220;Bakemonogatari&#8221;. Kahit kailangan kong matulog ng maaga dahil sa 4:00 AM pa ako gigising ay nanaig pa rin ang pagka-adik. Naiwan ng kapit-bahay namin na bukas ang ilaw nila kaya may konting illumination sa kuwarto ko.</p>
<p>Nagising ako ng madaling araw. Nakaharap ako sa kanan ko nung nagising ako (nakatagilid ako lagi matulog). Lagi naman akong ganito, nagigising kahit anong oras. Tuwing mangyayari ito lumilipat ako ng side, kanan, kaliwa, kanan, kaliwa. Nang papalipat ako sa left side ko napadilat ako. May naaninag akong babae na nakatingin sakin! Napatigil ako ng 1-2 seconds, nakatitig lang sa kanya, kahit ganun lang kabilis parang napaka tagal kong nakatingin sa kanya.</p>
<p>Nasa paanan ko yung babae. Di siya mukhang nakatayo, marahil nakaluhod lang habang tinitignan ako. Mahaba ang buhok niya at magulo, sabog-sabog. Tingin ko puti ang suot niyang damit, pero di ako sigurado dahil na rin siguro sa dilim, di sapat ang liwanag na nanggagaling sa labas.</p>
<p>Nakatapat na ako sa left-side ko ng pinipilit kong wag siyang isipin. Naririnig ko ang puso ko na tumitibok ng malakas at mabilis, medyo pinagpapawisan na ko sa kaba. Naiisip ko ang mukha ni Kayako dahil parang pareho sila ng features. Kumakanta ako sa isip ko para wag ko lang siya maisip pero parang balewala lang. Naisip ko na marahil siya ang nararamdaman ko madalas kapag nagigising ako ng gabi na nakatingin sakin. Naiisip ko na hihilahin niya ang paa ko kaya ginalaw ko ang binti ko. Wala namang puwersang pumigil sakin, dun pa lang ako nagsimulang kumalma at nagkaroon ng lakas ng loob na tumingin ulit sa paanan ko. Wala na siya, tinignan ko ang cellphone ko kung anong oras na, 3:16 AM pa lang! Around this time din kapag nararamdaman kong may nakatingin sakin, na-post ko na to <a href="http://akrebley.wordpress.com/2009/09/18/dreaming-during-witching-hour-devils-hour/" target="_blank">dito. </a></p>
<p>Nakatulog din naman ako pagkatapos at nagising ng 4 AM. Sinasabi ko na lang sa sarili ko na ilusyon lang yun na dala ng antok at malabong liwanag sa kuwarto. Sa ngayon iisipin ko na munang ilusyon lang ang nakita ko imbes na lang kung makita ko siya ulit.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3291/2292747203_667d804146.jpg"><img class="alignright" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3291/2292747203_667d804146.jpg" alt="" width="274" height="360" /></a>I remember the second time I visited SM City Iloilo this year quite vividly for the simple reason that I heard a familiar tune playing over the mall’s intercom. I was with my two titas and their baby boy when we noticed Inang Laya’s song <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGogEEnKT7Q">“Babae”</a> reverberating across the mall interior.</p>
<p>I was way younger when I first listened to the song. I cannot recall the circumstances of those childhood moments anymore but I can recollect the song’s melody just fine anytime. I was older when I came across the song again and that was also the time when I learned the lyrics:</p>
<blockquote><p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGogEEnKT7Q"><strong>“Babae”</strong></a></p>
<p>By Inang Laya</p>
<p>Kayo ba ang mga Maria Clara<br />
Mga Hule at mga Sisa<br />
Na di maruning na lumaban?<br />
Kaapiha’y bakit iniluluha?<br />
Mga babae, kayo ba’y sadyang mahina?</p>
<p>Kayo ba ang mga Cinderella<br />
Na lalake, ang tanging pag-asa?<br />
Kayo nga ba ang mga Nena<br />
Na katawan ay ibinebenta?<br />
Mga babae, kayo ba’y sadyang pang-kama?</p>
<p>Ang ating isip ay buksan<br />
At lipuna’y pag-aralan,<br />
Ang nahubog ninyong isipan<br />
At tanggaping kayo’y mga libangan<br />
Mga babae, ito nga ba’y kapalaran?</p>
<p>Bakit ba mayroong mga Gabriela<br />
Mga Teresa at Tandang Sora<br />
Na di umasa sa luha’t awa?<br />
Sila’y nagsipaghawak ng sandata<br />
Nakilaban, ang mithiin ay lumaya.</p>
<p>Bakit ba mayrong mga Lisa<br />
Mga Liliosa at mga Lorena<br />
Na di natakot makibaka<br />
At ngayo’y marami nang kasama?<br />
Mga babae, ang mithiin ay lumaya!</p></blockquote>
<p>“Women hold half the sky,” Mao once said. But in a society like the Philippines, women are subjected to the double oppression, among others, of class and sex. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGogEEnKT7Q">“Babae,”</a> a favorite during women’s month commemoration affairs during March and protest actions involving women’s issues, is a song that problematizes the gender role assigned by the social order to women since their childhood.</p>
<p><!--more-->Following Simone de Beauvoir’s saying that “one is not born, but rather becomes, a woman” [1], Inang Laya questions the idea that a woman is by essence weak (“Mga babae, kayo ba’y sadyang mahina?”), dependent on men (“Kayo ba ang mga Cinderella / Na lalake, ang tanging pag-asa?”), and a mere object of pleasure in bed (“Mga babae, kayo ba’y sadyang pang-kama?”).</p>
<p>Opposing the identity reinforced by dominant patriarchal institutions like the family, education, the law, and the media, the song advances the alternative image of the woman aspiring for liberation (“Mga babae, ang mithiin ay lumaya!”). Citing the example of heroines from Philippine history like Gabriela, Teresa and Tandang Sora as well as women martyrs in the ongoing people’s war in the countryside like Lisa, Liliosa, and Lorena, the song challenges the stereotype of women as represented in Philippine literature by the figures of Maria Claras, Hule, and Sisas.</p>
<p>But is this emancipation simply the discarding of the traditional view of the essential domestic woman for the “sexually-liberated” woman of the West? Capitalism dissolves women, in the words of Jean-Francois Lyotard,</p>
<blockquote><p>into the male cycle, integrated either as workers into the production of commodities, or as mothers into the reproduction of labor power, or again, as commodities; themselves (cover-girls, prostitutes of mass media, hostesses of <em>human relations</em>), or even as administrators of capital (managerial functions). [2]</p></blockquote>
<p>The problem therefore, Lyotard contends, “is not to safeguard a difference of sex against a movement towards homologation imposed by capital. The ‘difference between the sexes’ is no more exempt from masculine imperialism than its opposite…” [3]</p>
<p>In the Philippine context, the domination of foreign monopoly capital – and the consequent rape of our natural and human resources by foreign corporations and dislocation of both urban and rural communities – have led to a situation where Filipina women suffer exploitative and abusive work conditions to support themselves and their families. The Philippines has become the world’s top exporter of women with the sector comprising the bulk of labor migration abroad. Filipina women are turned into abused domestic helpers, poorly paid factory workers, and sex trade victims. [4]</p>
<p>These are the realities that the song, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGogEEnKT7Q">“Babae,”</a> calls on to study and question (“Ang ating isip ay buksan / At lipuna’y pag-aralan”). Ultimately, Inang Laya’s song goes to the end with the message that gender roles, being social constructs resulting from the interplay of power relations in a particular historical juncture, are also arenas for struggle.</p>
<p>The song, moreover, demonstrates that Filipina women are not simply oppressed but have been actively participating in movements that not only seek empowerment for their sector but for other marginalized groups as well (“Sila’y nagsipaghawak ng sandata / Nakilaban, ang mithiin ay lumaya”). ■</p>

<description><![CDATA[Kaninang umaga sumakay ako ng MRT. As usual puno nanaman kaya nakatayo ulit ako, marami talagang tao]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-148" title="Bakanteng upuan" src="http://akrebley.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/image000.jpg?w=240" alt="Bakanteng upuan" width="226" height="284" />Kaninang umaga sumakay ako ng MRT. As usual puno nanaman kaya nakatayo ulit ako, marami talagang tao na sumasakay sa North Avenue station.</p>
<p>May sumakay na babae sa Kamuning station. Ang height niya siguro ay 4&#8242;8-5 feet, maputi, maganda, at nakangiti. Dali-dali siyang humawak sa hand rails. Nakita siya ng isang lalaking nakaupo kaya ito ay tumayo at sinabihan siyang umupo (gentleman). Sinabi ng babae na ayaw niya at ok lang siyang nakatayo. Nasabi ko tuloy sa sarili ko na &#8220;bakit kaya ayaw niya umupo, yung iba namang babae uupo agad&#8221;.</p>
<p>May bumaba sa Ortigas station kaya may bakante na sa harapan niya. Hindi pa rin siya umuupo at pinaupo pa niya ang ibang lalaking malapit sa kanya. Pumikit na lang ako at kunyaring nakikinig ng maigi sa pinapatugtog ko (naka earphone ako) para di niya ko tawagin na umupo dun, nakakahiya kasi at babae pa ang magpapaupo, ang liit pa naman niya at stretched na ang braso niya para mahawakan lang ang hand rails (nakakangalay yun). Nagtagumpay naman siya at meron siyang napaupo.</p>
<p>Gusto ko sana siya tanungin kung bakit ayaw niya umupo pero natigilan ako dahil nakakahiya naman magtanong (di naman kami close, hehe).</p>
<p>May bumaba sa Boni station kaya may bakante na ulit. Ayaw talaga niya umupo kahit pinapaupo na siya. Siya pa rin ang nagpapaupo sa mga lalake (ano ba talaga spelling nito? e or i ba ang huli?). Umiwas na ako kaya lumipat ako sa kabilang side. Kinunan ko siya ng stolen picture (sana hindi niya nakita sa reflection ng salamin na ginawa ko to). Nabakante ang upuan na yun hanggang bumaba siya sa Buendia station (talagang inobserbahan ko siya, hehe).</p>
<p>Dahil sa na curious ako sa iniisip nung babae kaya ililista ko ang mga possible na dahilan kung bakit siya ganun (kunyari isa akong Psychologist):</p>
<ol>
<li>Kakakain lang niya at gusto niyang bumaba ang kinain niya kaya siya nakatayo (merong mga ganitong tao pero parang wala namang sense kasi bumababa naman talaga ang kinakain natin)</li>
<li>Nagpapaseksi siya kaya gusto niyang mag MRT surfing (nakikita ko kasi siya bumibitaw sa  hand rails),  ayon kasi kay Noi ng anime na &#8220;Yamamoto Nadeshiko Shichi Henge&#8221; o &#8220;The Wallflower&#8221; (haba nung japanese name!), nakakaseksi (di naman siya mataba) at nakakaganda ng tindig ng babae kapag sinasanay ang sarili na nakatayo habang nakataas ang sakong (di ko na pinansin kung nakaganun ang paa niya).</li>
<li>Isa siyang Psychologist or Sociologist na nagco-conduct  ng survey, experiment or study tungkol sa behavior ng mga lalake.</li>
<li>Bangag siya kaya feeling niya lalake siya at ang mga lalake sa paligid niya ay mga babae.</li>
<li>Isa siyang Psychic at nararamdaman niya na may masamang mangyayari sa kanya kapag umupo siya dun.</li>
<li>Nagpahula siya at sabi sa hula ay huwag siyang uupo sa MRT (masunuring bata, uto-uto)</li>
</ol>
<p>Hindi ko talaga maintindihan ang mga babae kung minsan. Mahirap malaman kung ano ang pinag-iiisip nila.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://www.theage.com.au/ffximage/2007/09/16/tiger_airways_four_wideweb__470x298,0.jpg"><img class="aligncenter" title="Tiger" src="http://www.theage.com.au/ffximage/2007/09/16/tiger_airways_four_wideweb__470x298,0.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="298" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Kay Sharaming:</strong></p>
<p>Takot ako na sinasabing swerte ako dahil pag sinasabi ko yun, minamalas ako: nakakatapak ako ng tae o kaya biglang naghihingalo ang wallet ko. Totoo, lagi yung nangyayari kaya hanggang ngayon, ayoko man lang isipin na swerte ako.</p>
<p>Pero kahit anong gawin ko, hindi mapagkakaila na swerte talaga ako sa&#8217;yo. Daig ko pa ang nanalo sa lotto, naging champion sa sabong, nabigyan ng uno sa algebra, nakapulot ng isandaang libo, o na-cast sa bagong Harry Potter film. Sa pagdating mo, hinandugan ako ng tadhana ng isang ginintuang tsansa para tunay na maging masaya.</p>
<p><!--more-->Hindi ko pa rin lubos na maintindihan kung anong nakita mo sa&#8217;kin. (Pag may nagtatanong sakin dati ng &#8220;Marvin, may girlfriend ka na?&#8221; Ang lagi kong sagot, &#8220;Wala pang nabubulag eh,&#8221; o kaya isang beses, &#8220;Wala pang nabubulag na aso eh.&#8221; na sya namang kinagulat ng pinagsabihan ko. &#8220;Ba&#8217;t naman aso?&#8221;) Siguro mali lang talaga ang tingin ko sa aking sarili ng mahabang panahon. Pwede mo naman akong tratuhing parang chewing gum sa semento katulad ng iba, pero hindi. May nakikita ka sa akin, kaya nagagawa ko ring maniwala na may maaaninag nga dito sa loob ko.</p>
<p>Anu&#8217;t ano pa man, hindi kwestyon kung anong namamalas ko sa&#8217;yo. Winasak mo ang ideya ko ng kung ano ang kagandahan at naipakita mo ng maliwanag kung gaano ako kababaw. Hindi mo kailangang maging tisay, chinita, mahinhin, maayos o malasanto para maging maganda, kailangan mo lang maging natural. At dahil ikaw ang pinakamanatural na nilalang na nasilayan ko, mas natural pa sa pagsikat ng araw sa silangan at paglubog sa kanluran, mas natural pa sa beach addiction ng mga tao, ikaw rin, walang duda, ang pinakamagandang nilalang na nakita ko.</p>
<p>Alam ko bwenas ako dahil pinapangarap ko lang ito noon. Dati, tinitingnan ko lang ang mga litrato mo sa Internet. Napapa-iling lang ako katulad marahil ng sanlaksang iba pa ngayon. Oo, inisip ko kung gaano kaswerte ang boyfriend mo at mga magiging boyfriends mo, pero hindi ko talaga nakita ang sarili ko na pupuno sa espasyong iyon. Para ko na rin sigurong inisip na madi-discover ako habang naglalakad sa MRT station at gagawin akong host ng ASAP. Wala. Wala talagang tsansa na pansinin ng isang katulad mo ang isang katulad ko.</p>
<p>Sinasabi ko ito dahil ayokong malimutan kung ano yung milagro, kung bakit ako nandito ngayon. Merong walang hanggang pasasalamat sa puso ko na nais kong manatili habang hindi pa ko tinatamaan at tinutumba ng swine flu. Kaya naman sa bawat minuto na kasama kita, gusto ko laging iparamdam sa&#8217;yo kung gaano ka kahalaga sa akin. Akala mo ba natuyo na yung katangi-tanging puting rosas na binigay ko sa iyo? Hindi pa. Patay na yung halaman pero yung tunay na ugat ng bulaklak na iyon, nandito pa, sariwa at dala-dala ko lagi nasaan man ako.</p>
<p>Ang alam ko lang, gusto ko lagi kang nakangiti at nakatawa. Gusto ko yung ngiti mo, mula Ilocos Norte hanggang Greece. Pag naniningkit yung mga mata mo dahil sa sobrang kakatawa, gusto kong patawarin si Gloria sa lahat ng kasalanang ginawa nya kasama na yung boob job. Ewan ko ba, pero kapag masaya ka, alam ko, isang pribilehiyo ang mabuhay.</p>
<p>Kung sumasablay man ako minsan na ipakita kung gaano ako nahuhumaling sa iyo, yun ay dahil tao lang ako na nagagalit at nakakalimot. Pero nagpapasalamat ako dahil binigyan ako ng talento upang mag-isip. At tuwang nag-iisip ako, isang kongklusyon lang ang nararating ko: mahal kita at maligaya ako sa piling mo.</p>
<p>Ngayon, nasa himpapawirin ka na. Pabalik ka mula sa malayo mong paglalakbay. Umiiling nanaman ako ngayon pero hindi na dahil sa tingin ko ay wala akong pag-asa sa&#8217;yo. Umiiling ako ng nakangiti dahil pauwi ka ngayon sa&#8217;kin.</p>
<p><strong>Naghihintay,<br />
Marbeng</strong></p>
<p><strong>PS: Pakisabi sa piloto, bilisan nyang mag-drayb. Naiinip na ko sa yakap mo at naiinip na ang buhangin ng Putipot sa mga paa natin.<br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:left;">Tuesday afternoon has been raining cats and dogs BUT (just with a single T) it did not stop us to treat ourselves into an excessive indulgence. At about 5:30 pm yesterday, my good friend and I met at Tayuman cor. Oroquietta St. in front of Index Salon (previously F Salon) where we had our scheduled foot spa treatment.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">(Poor me, i was not able to take photos because the lighting is not that good and i don&#8217;t feel the ambiance and i am thinking that it will not give a me a nice shot.) </p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>I also had my nails colored (it&#8217;s violet again, harhar)</strong>. But it took a while before another <em>ateng manicurista</em> got upstairs (cause their foot services is on the second floor of the building). It was already past seven when she got in and helped other <em>ateng nagmamanicure </em>to the other guy. Good thing she done it fast and a little bit well although i was hurt when she removed my ingrown nail.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">When we got out of the salon, we rode a jeepney to sm to have a sumptuous meal there cause the crocs inside us are eating as out. Laughs&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Because it&#8217;s a dinner, we decided not to take rice and we&#8217;re not in the mood at that moment. We think of a restaurant which serves pasta or pizza and chicken. (Good thing we avoided thinking burger and fries.)</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">And charan&#8230;A Veneto Restaurant came both into our senses, the smell of buffalo wings and its creamy sweet and sour sauce and the pasta&#8217;s delicate flavors of ingredients. (We already planned to dine here after we had a nut-pesto with seafood before in the same resto in Glorietta because really they serve great seafood pasta and pizza.)</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">So, foods, here we come&#8230;</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">First thing: Order!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-919" title="untitled" src="http://joyceagojo.wordpress.com/files/2009/07/untitled7.jpg" alt="untitled" width="400" height="300" />The 2009 Cinemalaya independent film festival and competition, now on its fifth year and billed Cinemalaya Cinco, will unveil 20 new digital films that will compete on July 17-26, 2009 at the Cultural Center of the Philippines.  Some 25 new independent films will also be premiered during the Festival.</p>

<p>Cinemalaya Cinco, which is being tagged as the “big, small film festival”, is featuring the following sections, namely,</p>
<p>Competition, World Premieres and NetPac films, Lino Brocka Retrospective, Kids’ Treats, Gay/Lesbian films, The City in Focus, Women in Indies, Off Center, Documentary and Ani:  Best of Last Year.</p>

<p>Another major event of Cinemalaya Cinco is the Cinemalaya Film Congress on July 21-22 at the CCP Little Theater.  With the theme <em>Linking Digital Highways</em>, the Cinemalaya Film Congress aims to discover the major centers of independent filmmaking in the country, assess the artistic achievement of cinematic works produced in the last five years, to invite indie filmmakers from the different regions to speak about the state of indie filmmaking in their areas, and to establish a network of indie filmmaking centers to consolidate all efforts to create, promote and market indie films both here and abroad.</p>
<p>A new advertising campaign for Cinemalaya Cinco was created by Black Pencil Advertising Inc.  The ad campaign celebrates the fifth year of Cinemalaya which has become a major event in local filmmaking today.   The ad campaign tags Cinemalaya as the “big, small film festival”, conveying the importance and impact of Cinemalaya on Filipino independent cinema.</p>
<p>Cinemalaya opens on July 17 and runs until July 26, 2009.  Films will be shown at all CCP venues, namely the Main Theater, the Little Theater, Dream Theater, Tanghalang Huseng Batute, Silangan Hall and the MKP Hall.</p>
