a piece of art itself

Reminiscing the day when NU signed off

Bakit ka Luluha na Lamang

Iluluha mo ba ang kasawian ng iyong bayan?
Ang repleksiyon ng sarili sa dagat ng dugo
At ang ang halimuyak ng nabubulok na kalamnan?

Iiiyak mo na lamang ba ang kasawian
Ng mga inang napilitang bigtihin ang supling
Dahil hindi kayang mapakain, ni kaning panis?

O ihahagulgol na lamang
Ang sanglaksang kaluluwang
Humihinga pa’y malaon nang nakalibig sa puntod ng karalitaan?

Ibabangoy mo na lamang ba
ang kapanyayaang naghahari
at nagwawasiwas ng kanyang kapangyarihan?

Huwag, huwag mong sayangin ang luha!
Pagkat mamumugto lamang ang mga antatao
at lalo lamang mapapagal ang diwa.

Pansamantala lamang ang lunas ng luha.
Panandalian lamang ang gaang na hatid ng hagulgol.
Hindi maglalaon ang luha’y lalason din sa dibdib.

Kaya, huwag kang lumuha
Bagkus, ipunin ang lakas
at isanib ito sa daluyong ng mga bisig
na ngayon, nagsisipag-aklas!

The Art of Letting Go

Is this goodbye and farewell? it's a romantic tragedy
All is fair in love and war and I'm the lonely casualty

Your forked tongue has lost it's sharpness
It does'nt have the luster it used to before
Sure it takes a lot of soul to forgive
So let me show you your way out of that door

You are a beautiful walking mistake and from you I have learned
How could someone so true be so fake? Now you're none of my concern

Let go- you are nothing I deserve
- your acting's all but superb
- a romance for the deaf and blind
- with such poor taste and design

These calloused hands are shaking and I'm breathing heavily
Soon all of this will be over shadows reaching out to me

Sweet nothings in my ears now they disgust
Those letters you've sent now gather dust
Sure it takes a lot of soul to forgive
I'm dead with you and now I want to live

You are a beautiful walking mistake and from you I have learned
How could someone so true be so fake? Now you're none of my concern

Let go- you are nothing I deserve
- your acting's all but superb
- a romance for the deaf and blind
- with such poor taste and design

And now this is the time and I cannot pretend
The day I live again is when our story ends

Dramatic lies and severed ties in bloodstained cradles lay
Despite the loss that bridge I'll cross come calm or storm what may
We drank the wine the undivine process of suicide
Let it be known apart we've grown I gave you everything I own
And as you make your final exit I let our story slip away
I bury you with the memories of a forgotten yesterday..

Sa Akademya

Nagmumulto si Senador McCarthy.
Gumagala-gala ang kanyang espiritu
sa mga pasilyo ng akademya.

Nalalanghap ng lahat
ang masangsang na bulaklak
ng tsampaka,

Naririnig ang kalansing
ng tanikalang nagbibigay babala:

Manginig,
manginig!

Damhin ang malamig
na simoy ng hangin
na bumubulong-bulong
ng pangamba sa diwa
ng mga guro.

Nagmumulto si Senador McCarthy
at nagwiwika:
May pulahan sa ating pagitan!
Ang pula ay kulay na mapanganib!

Naghahasik ito ng punla,
naghihikayat ng pagkilos at paglaban,
Nagbabandila ng katwiran.

Mga kapatid sa akademya,
ang natatakot sa pula,
ay taong kaawa-awa,
pagkat walang sariling pag-iisip,
pagkat sakmal ng multo ang dibdib.

Hayaan na nating malibing sa kanyang hukay
si Senador McCarthy.

Ating angkinin ang kulay na pula
bilang kulay ng duguang rosas
na mahalimuyak,
kulay ng kasiyahan at galak,
kulay ng pusong matapang,
at pusong matatag.

Eto na ang Kwento ko

Eto na, eto na, eto na ang buhay ko
Sa tabi, sa tabi, nanggugulo
Maraming bagay aking nakikita
Mga bagay na di ko maalala

Tara laro tayo
Tago-taguan, bahay-bahayan
Isa Dalawa Tatlo tago
Isa Dalawa Tatlo huli

Eto na, eto na, eto na ang buhay ko
Sa tabi, sa tabi, nanggugulo
Walang pakialam sa sasabihin niyo
Ako’y maglalaro hanggang sa gusto ko

Hoy bata, akin na laruan ko
Bumili ka ng sarili mo
Binigay yan ng tatay ko
Saklolo Saklolo

Eto na, eto na, eto na ang buhay ko
Sa tabi, sa tabi, nanggugulo
Away dito, away doon
Bahala kayo, ako tatakbo

Madungis na bata, wag kang lumapit
Maligo ka muna at magbihis
Uuwi muna ako sa mansyon ko
Kakain ng ice cream at tsokolate

Eto na, eto na, eto na ang buhay ko
Sa tabi, sa tabi, ng nanay kong korupt
Mahirap, o mahirap
Ang maging anak ng isang korupt

Eto na, eto na, eto na ang buhay ko
Marumi, marumi, kaysa sa inyo
Saklolo, Saklolo, tulungan niyo ako
Sa laro, sa laro, na di ko ginusto.



(this was suppose to be a song)

ingay.gulo.mundo..

hindi mo maaatim tanggapin na ang nangyayari sa paligid mo ay minsang nagpapalakas o nagpapahina saiyo.

may mga bagay na hindi mo dapat pinapansin ngunit sadyang kapansin-pansin.

may mga bagay ring pinapasin mo ngunit hindi mo naman talaga dapat pansinin.

sa mga nakaukit sa mundong ito, iba’t-ibang interpretasyon ang maaaring mabuo.

iba-iba tayo, galing sa iba-ibang lahi, iba-ibang hugis ng utak, iba-ibang bituka.



malimit kong kausapin ang sarili ko, bakit nga ba ganito kagulo ang mundo, hindi ba pwedeng payak na pamumuhay na lamang at wala ng komplikasyon? maaari bang mamuhay ng hindi nasasaktan o hindi mananakit ng kapwa?



kalokohan, magulo talaga..

Alingawngaw

aalingawngaw ang munting
kampana..hindi ko mawari kung kaayaaya
ba sa pandinig o hindi..

hindi ko malaman kung ano ang gusto
niyang ipahiwatig..
oo, ako’t nagugulhan..
di tiyak ang nararamdaman..
di tiyak ang susunod na pag-usad..

maliwanag ang buwan..
sana ay biyayaan ako nito ng kaunting
liwanag.
sana sa paglakbay ko ay hindi mawala
ang liwanag nito..
marami akong pangarap.
maraming nais gawin.
ngunit hanggang ngayon, nasa loob pa
rin ako ng posporo..tagung-
tago..naiipit..masikip..hindi
makalabas man lang o makasilip..

-I wrote this many years ago-

i miss writing again..hinalungkat ko blogs ko sa diff. accounts at natuwa ako basahin at balikan mga sinulat ko dati.. nakakamiss talaga mgsulat, yung tipong araw2.. now, i'm trying to do it as a habit again.. :)

Upuan

tapos na ang mga araw ng pagluha ko

tinapos ko na ito

kahit masakit, kahit mahirap, kailangan

may mas maliwanag pang daan sa may kanto, di ko pa naaabot

maya-maya siguro naroon na ako, konti na lang

mabagal pa ang paglakad ko, masakit pa kasi ang binti ko

matagal ko na rin itong naramdaman pero iniinda ko lang

maghapon akong nakaupo lamang at parang wala lang

ngunit nagdesisyon akong tapusin na ang lahat ng paghihirap ko

masarap pala maglakad kahit malubak ang daan

kahit masakit pa ang binti ko, kailangan nang sanayin para humilom

tingnan mo, maya-maya, nasa may kanto na ako

doon, mas maliwanag, mas masaya

wala ng luha, wala ng sakit at pait..

paalam na sa upuang matagal ko nang nakasama,handa na akong lisanin ka..

Hush

I am still searching for something..

got so many roads to run..got so many choices
to choose from..
to those who run with me,thank you for unleashing the personalities within me…

for those people who are acquainted
with me in a way,thank you for
showing me that i am important or at
least pretending that i am quite
important.

it's hard to forget something/someone you never really have a plan to forget
sometimes it's a self-defense, it's a way of protecting yourself from being hurt again
though you wanna do something to get what you want, something is stopping you,
something that is so powerful that you don't even know how to keep going..

focus..focus..
you have more important dreams in life but what if he already became one of your dreams in life?
what if he already became a part of it?
what if you really can't get him out of your system?

ssshhhhh...
relax..
it's gonna be ok little girl..

The Mark in my Heart

I peeped into the light and saw the face of my beloved

Another shadow appeared that stopped my feet from moving

I remained still to stop my heart from blowing

I decided to remain silent for I love him that much though I never intended to

Slowly I turned my back on the door

My heavy steps show what I felt

The tears that I expected to drop did not materialize

I don’t know why

Maybe the tears didn’t want to add to my burden

I will now prepare myself to let go

It’s better than to suffer from vanity

I’d cherish every moment I had with him

His kiss, his touch, his care

They will remain in my memory forever

— Hey, let’s wait and see what the world has for us

We still have a life to live on

We will be bound to a much more problematic trials

I am not afraid of those anymore because you taught me to be strong



Thank you for the little time you’ve spent with me

Thank you for the love you’ve shared with me

It’s just a small world

Just don’t forget to smile at me whenever we see each other

Yes, I’m letting go

Just like the love I let go for you

You became a part of my life

The mark will forever stay, Until I have my last blink.

You leave a mark in my heart

The Pain

this chair
it's been a long time since i sat here
memories came flashing back
some colored, some are black and white

a little pain striked me
and i stopped thinking for a while
but it was never easy
so please kill the pain

shout
run
hide
i want the pain to die

shout
run hide
i guess it was never easy to lie..

Frome Being my Someone to being a Stranger

i walked and find nothing
it's getting colder
my feet were getting weak
i struggled in the midst of nowhere
yet my struggling never seems enough

i fell, i stumbled
someone picked me up and then i saw the light
i am getting back to my senses
but the shadow wof the one who picked me up was getting smaller
i never stopped him, i never shouted

up to this day, i am thanking him
yes, he did not stay
but that time, he cared
he did not abandon me in the midst of nowhere
i guess that is just the way it is

it is a cycle
many came, but they also go
today i am happy, tomorrow i am not
today i am smiling, tomorrow my tears are flowing
that is just the way it is...

Broken Pieces

amidst the silence,
i can hear screams.
amidst no movements,
i can feel actions.
i'm doing nothing,
yet i'm hardly breathing.

this heart is screaming,
but you can hear nothing.
the candle is burning,
when it's gone, i will be leaving.

please hear my call now,
because i will be having a vow.
my time is running,
please come and be my prince charming.

save me from drowning,
don't let my heart keep on bleeding
u said we will be forever,
but you just leave me in nowhere.

Lungkot

Isip ko'y gulong-gulo
Di malaman ang gagawin
Kunwari'y hindi nahihirapan
Ngunit ang puso ko'y humihiyaw, nagsusumigaw

Kailan kaya makakamit
Hinahngad na pag-ibig
Sa'yo ko ito natagpuan
Ngunit iba ang iyong natipuhan

Sana ito'y lumipas
Parang isang pagsubok lamang na dumaan
Sana madali makalimot
Para wala na ang salimuot

Sa muli nating pagkikita
Ala-ala ng kahapon ay wala na
Pasensya na, minahal lang talaga kita
Wala akong magagawa, puso ay nagdurusa

Lungkot ay mawawala rin
Pagkat panahon ay lilipas din
Alam kong ako'y matatauhan
Sa kahibangang ikaw ang dahilan..

(Sazi's Bar.08/18/10)

Sa Langit Ko

Sa himpapawid ako'y lumilipad
Kahit ako'y walang pakpak
Patungo sa'yo, patungo sa alapaap

Simulan na, simulan na ang kasiyahan
Kahit puso ko'y puno nang kalungkutan
Sa paglipad ko, ito'y makakalimutan

Lipad, Lipad
Lipad sa kalangitan
Bigat na pinapasan
Unti-unting nalilimutan

Sigaw, sigaw
Sigaw na walang hanggan
Sa langit mo, ako'y iyong hagkan

Problema'y limutin
Bigat na pinapasan, itapon sa karagatan
Sa agos ng ala-ala
Ito'y unti-unting mawawala

Kapit ng mahigpit
Pagka't sa langit tayo ay lalapit
Sa tunog at tinig
Hubaran ang pait na sa puso'y pumipintig..

(Sazi's Bar.09/18/10)

Hidden fucker

You know I'm reckless
And at the same time shameless
You're the evil and at the same time my angel
I screwed up, I fucked up

Please be my redeemer
Save me from the fire
Take me out of my own dungeon
Hallucinating and yes, I'm burning

Let's toast for the red light
Take me out of my bloody desire
Held me up
Be my life-saver

I wanna stop the wreckage, as well as the rampage
I'm off to kill till the light bleeds
Because it's the only way to get off the sharp end

Kill me
Break the silence
Free me
Crystallize my tears..

(Sazi's Bar..08/18/10)

Random thoughts

Saya sa'king mata, 'di mo ba nakikita?
Sapagkat sa tingin mo, ito lamang ay isang biro
Sana ito'y mawala na, kung saiyo talaga ay walang pag-asa
Nandirito umaasa, sa ngiti mo ako'y ok na
Nais bitawan ang lahat, pinipigilan ang puso kong sa pag'ibig mo'y salat
Sa lihim na nabunyag, nasayang lang ata ito at sana pinilit na lang maging bulag..

(Sazi's Bar..10/14/10)

My Pain

It hurts to know that you’re lying again
Fuck those words
Fuck those lines
The trust you want to gain back is going nowhere
It’s cutting me deep
It’s gonna leave me a scar
You’ve said sorry
But do you really mean it?
You’ve said everything is ok now
But i guess it’ just a bullshit
Just leave me alone
Just don’t try to win me back again
Please say it’s over,
So i won’t try to hang on again.

Old Times

Can i stay in your arms tonight?
I just miss the feeling of being owned
Can i hug you for awhile?
I just want to bring back the old times

I need you right now, but i can’t find you
The roads we’ve passed
The places we’ve been
I can’t find you anywhere

God knows how much i miss you
God knows how i long to be with you
The bright light is now fading
The mirrors around are now breaking
The memories of us,
It’s so suffocating.

Ikaw na Kanlungan ko...

Inalipin ka ngunit sa huli ay bumangon ka.
Nilimot ang hagupit ng mga dayuhan at
pinatunayang kaya mong umahon at magkaron ng kasarinlan.
Nakatayo ka pa rin ngayon at inaabot ang pangarap.
Ilang lider na ang humawak saiyo,
Ilang mga pangako na rin ang nagdaan,
Ngunit hindi ka napapagod
Bagkus ay pinag-iisa mo ang sambayanan at ang pagmamahal saiyo, o Bayan,
ang aming pinanghuhugutan.

Hitik man sa panlalait mula sa ibang dayuhan
Kami'y nagpapakatatag at nagpapakahusay.
Sa iba't-ibang larangan, kantahan, sayawan, teatro, isports, o intelektwal na pagalingan,ikaw ang inspirasyon namin para makamit ang tagumpay.

O, Inang Bayan, kami'y iyong gabayan.
Alitan, korupsyon, at kahirapan, sana'y aming mawaksihan.
Kung ang lahat ng Pilipino ay magkapit-bisig,
Walang imposible sa pangarap kong noon pa iniibig.
Bayan kong minamahal, magpakatatag ka.
Marami pa ang mga maka-bayan na handang ipaglaban ka.

-Shie-

Ikalawang Ikaw

Hitik sa panlalait sa kalye
Usap-usapan ng marami
Dahil ba sa paglaladlad mo ng panibagong ikaw

Magkahawak kamay sa dilim
Dahil sa liwanag maraming nakatingin
Umuusig sa kanilang kaluluwa
Eh sino ba silang dapat humusga

Bilanggo na pagkatao
Sa lipunang pilit humubog sa'yo
Kailan pa kaya ika'y matatanggap
MApawi ang takot na sayo'y humawak

Hawiin ang tabing sa mukha
Sikil na damdamin bigyan ng laya
Unawang sigaw sasabay sa batingaw
Ipakita sa lahat ang tunay na ikaw
(Halina't dinggin ang daing ng mga nagtatago sa dilim)

* Di na muling magtatago sa dilim
Sa paglalahad mo'y muling angkinin
Likas na karapatan mo sa lipunan
Lumaya sa tanikala
ng hawlang piitan...

-Mula sa Ridaw sa panulat nina John Marasigan, Mica Atienza at Myke Sotero-

love.hate.life...

I don't hesitate in leaving a mark in someone's life especially if i love that person.. at least when everything's done, I've done my part and I'm happy I've touched his/her life...

I love and I love deeply and truly..
I cry and I cry not for hollow reasons..
I laugh and I laugh wholeheartedly..
I smile and I smile sincerely..

I've got my life messed up again.
I've got my heart hurt again..
When can I feel really loved..
When can I feel really secured..

I guess it will just be a dream..

I wanna vanish right now..

Meet my Forgotten Friend, “Respect”

One country. Different races. Different religions. Different ages. Different perspectives. Different opinions. All we have to do is to respect each other.

Each person has a different point of view from another. Arguments with regard to this aspect are inevitable and then, contradictions and misunderstanding may rise. Sometimes, this misunderstanding ends up in violence and at the end, both parties regrets the outcome of their actions.

During drinking sessions, when the mood is already up and almost all are already sober, debates and expressing one’s opinion is always present.

Sometimes, it would end up in fist fights and worst, stab wounds and gunshot wounds were inflicted.

All these outcomes may be prevented if all of us know how to respect each other’s point of view and opinion. It is just a matter of self-control and being humble.

One fact that is hard to deny is that some people do not want to end up a loser in every argument so they tend to push their own opinion because of their pride. They do not want to be defeated because their pride will be at stake. This is the hardest thing to be cured, forgetting one’s pride in some circumstances.

 Furthermore, some, especially the guys, crave for fights so they intentionally heat up the scene and throw some arguments so that a fight may upsurge.  

 Pathetic, isn’t it? They crave for fights because fighting satisfies their manliness. I’m not generalizing all the male species but I have guy friends who confirmed this fact.

What is respect? It means being treated with consideration. It means being considerate for other peoples’ feelings. It means listening to people and hearing them. More importantly, respect means treating a person with dignity.

If all of us know what respect is, violence may be prevented. After all, we are living in only one globe. So let’s make an effort to build a peaceful home where everyone respects each other

Ssshhh

Just a look in your eyes, i know it was you
You don't have to say anything because the feeling is not new
Let me speak my words and feel what I feel
So you'll know that this heart beats for real

Sshhh.. Don't say anything
Because I'm not expecting from you a bit of a thing
Let me finish my thing
And let me go as if I've said nothing

Maybe this is my own song
And to  no one it really belongs
I'll continue singing
Even if the stars stop shining

Ssshhh....Don't say anything
Let me finish what I need to speak
I never intended to finish this for you to peek
I just want to let my song grow
Even if I am about to go

Don't miss me and
Don't say a word before I take my bag with me
Because I might stay and just stick like a clay
Forgive me if I can't look at you in the eyes
Because what I felt before should be as cold as an ice
Should be forgotten...
Because it's just all sudden...
