My week in days

a bad wish. hahaha


Happy fun
This week has been pretty drag and adventurous for me.
I have my night classes on Mondays and Wednesdays
taking on mind-damaging scripts and frozen yogurt as a treat.

That Tuesday, I squeezed a stint measuring 42 feet long,
and about 6liters of paint for a theatre backdrop.
Spent the whole day with a college friend and a gradeschool faculty
that, unbelievably, are all good-looking.

Wednesday, i was in a coma and i find myself sleeping
or half-asleep even in class.

Thursday, I started painting Dandelions and finished the same day.
Friday, I started The Panpiper and some clay pieces.
Saturday, had a christmas party with the block. Much fun and
Sunday, the artwork i finished.

The week could have started last Friday, with Doodle Earth face painting activity with some kids and jewelry workshop on that Saturday.

I could say I'm back but I'm reserving that statement for January. Read more...

The season of white and blue

It's almost christmas.
This year, i have no gift to give
i have nothing.
The last, i had all the gifts to give
Still I
had nothing.

----------

I.
Isang dipa lang ang ating pagitan
Pero hindi mo magawang kumaway
O ngumiti sa ngumingiti
Malamig ang gabi para magkasama.

II.
Bitak ang lupa papunta sa inyo
Sinisigaw ko ang iyong pangalan
Pero tila yata bingi, o nagkukunwari
Ang kalsada ay para sa iisa ngayong gabi.

III.
At parang nagmamadaling makalimot
Ang minsang abot-kamay
Ay naging namamatay na tala.

Kumusta ka na kaya, harana.


--------

Ilang beses ko nang sinabi na hindi ako magaling magbisikleta.
Nung aking kabataan, gumulong-gulong ako sa kalsada at
Nagkapasa-pasa ang aking katawan. At ipinangako kong
Hindi na ito mangyayari ulit.

Ngunit mapilit ka at nagsabing walang mangyayaring masama
Kaya sa gitna ng pag-aalinlangan ay muling sumubok
Pero aba! Muli na namang gumulong at nasugatan!
Hindi na ito mangyayari ulit.

At kung kaya't sinisisi kita para sa maling aking unang nagawa.
Salamat sa pag-aalala. Walang anuman sa paalala.
Hindi na ito mauulit.

----------

Tumitingala pa ba ang mga tao
Para pagmasdan ang mga ulap
Kung gayong laking balakid
Ang mga gusaling nangagtayo?

Nasaan kayo?

---------------

O mangagyuko ka ba buong araw
Para hanapin ang nawawalang
Bente-singko sentimos o
hayaan na lamang ito sa limot?

Nandito lang ako Read more...

In this Day and Age

And she rises at dawn,
Her feet sweeping the marble floor.
With her eyes half-open,
Looks at the white sheets.
The morning greets,
The breeze still cold
From yesterday’s storm.

-----------
We are in the company of thieves

We are in the company of thieves,
The man in a black suit with his stare blank at the black screen
Talks on the phone, unfeeling
Someone has stolen his liberty, only to find out

He has himself to blame,,
A contract of a hundred years,


“Would you stand up from that chair for a second?”
You are dying from the wounds of bickering and
Self-loathe and find yourself enjoying the sound of it all.
The man in the black suit, he stares at you

And with his eyes, strips away your dignity.
He is a thief when he ask for a little more of your precious time.

---------------

You slept for a hundred of years waiting for the prince
Behind those thorns and towers, dreaming.
Only to realize that he was far from that ideal man
Would you let down your hair, princess?
Wake me up when Time has come.

---------------------

What we think of ourselves in the inside
Is far from what Others see of us.
And when all is gone with age,
And our skin is rotting and un-fair,
And our body is aching and diets have changed.
And all has changed!


Then who are you but your wisdom?

cosmos

for this week,

all my stars are misaligned
so it can give way to the many errors
of this cosmos.
mistakes that form this world of ours
into a parallel

----------------------------------

pagpasensiyahan mo na,
pero sadyang nakakasuka ang mga salitang
lumabas sa iyong bibig
isang asidong hindi kayang sikmurahin
ng pinakamatatag na bituka
at hindi lubusang manguya ng
simple at busilak.

kahit na gutom sa pang-unawa,
nagdadalawang-isip parin ang pulubi
sa natanggap na biyaya.
Lunukin nalang nating buo ang panis na laway
kaysa tanggapin ang alok ni Don Ramon.
Hindi maipagpapalit ang laman sa laman,
pagpasensiyahan mo na lang.

---------------------------------

i don't want to give gratitude
to the enemy.
call it pride, but it is the only thing left in me
no. never thank the enemy.
forgiveness is easy,
but justice must be served
all in man's terms.
all in man's terms.
