One priest says "Death is a life celebrated."

Indeed, it is.

Kabilang-buhay

Sabi nila araw-araw daw ay may kababalaghang nagaganap.
Ano bang kababalaghan ang sinasabi nila?
Kababalaghan nga ba ang paulit-ulit na pagpunta sa eskwelahan?
Kababalaghan nga ba ang paulit-ulit na pagtatrabaho?
Kababalaghan nga ba ang paulit-ulit na paglilinis ng bahay?
Ano nga bang kababalaghan ang sinasabi nila?
Alam niyo ba?
Sabihan mo ako.
Ikaw, alam mo ba?
Naririnig mo ba ako?
Napapansin mo ba ako?
Hoy!

Nakatagong Pag-ibig

Jab, baklang wholesome, takot magmahal, santos ng mga bakla

Charisma, babaeng bakla, matalik na kaibigan ni Jab


(Napapaligiran ng mga estudyanteng nagkukwentuhan habang naglalakad, ang iba ay nakaupo sa field.)

Charisma: (to the audience) Paano ko ba 'to ipapaliwanag? Masyado kasing perplexing ang jwento na'to, as in it takes a lot of time to explain... ewan, o di lang talaga akong marunong mag... magexplain? Di ito tungkol sa'kin, mga bakla. Ito'y tungkol sa'king matalik na kaibigan na si Jab... eto na, parang lumalabas na. Yes, yes, si Jab, ang matalik kong kaibigan... ay isang bakla. Isa syang bakla (tawa). Ayaw nun tawagin siyang bakla. Pero bakla naman talaga siya (tawa). Sige, eto na... Isang bakla si Jab. Tanggap na 'yan ng pamilya niya, so no problem tayo diyan. Alam na rin ng buong campus ang tunay na pagkatao ng hayop na'to, so wala pa ring problema diyan and of course, sa akin, si Jab ay tanggap na tanggap ko. Alang-alang naman noh! Best friend ko yata si Jab. So, ano ba talaga ang problema? Dapat meron noh! Kasi naman tulad lahat ng kwento – sa pelikula o teleserye o sa nobelya – dapat may conflict. Eto na... lumabalas again. Yes, the problem is fag-ibig. Yes, as in love, as in amor! Etong best friend ko ay may problema sa love kasi naman noh ayaw magflirt, ayaw unahan 'yong lalake. Sikat naman si Jab sa campus namin. Matalino siya, magaling mag-Ingles at marunong magsulat, marunong sumayaw kaso nga lang sintunado pagkumanta pero wala lang 'yon sa boung pagkatao ni Jab. Isang mabuting bakla si Jab. Sabi nga ng ibang kaibigan niya, santa daw ng mga bakla. Meron ba non? Ewan. Sa kabila ng lahat na meron ang kaibigan kong ito, lalake lang talaga ang wala. Malihim si Jab, ayaw mgsabi ng mga jekretos – mga ekals na gusto niya – pero eto alam ko – may isang lalakeng nagpapatibok sa puso ng baklang ito, ang crush “daw” ng campus, si Odz. Ewwww! So odd! Pero gwafo siya ha in fairness... But di ko siya type correction. Mga malalaswa mga isip niyo ha! Pero type siya ng bestfriend ko. Ewan ko ba sa baklang 'yon. Sa pagkakaalam ko, ang standards, yes, standards ni Jab ay hindi naman makikita kay Odz. Well, it all started nong mga freshmen pa kami.

I wish I can fly back to those years.
I wish I could still run around the house undressed.
I wish I could still take a bath under a heavy rain unconcealed.
I wish I could still play around the dirtiest swamps unprotected.
I wish I could still climb up the highest tree unafraid.
I wish I could still play with my China toys and leave them uncleaned.
I wish I could still watch my favorite TV shows unrestrained.
I wish I could still eat sumptuous meals unpaid.
I wish I could still sleep silent hours undefined.
I wish I can fly back to those years where doubts still do not exist.
I wish I could alter the time.
And I will run backwards so I could have them back today.
I wish I could.

Don't Do It In Public

Isn't it a shame to breastfeed your child in public? That's what most Filipino women do. I just thought it isn't proper to do it blatantly.

When It Becomes A Habit

8/10/2009 Posted by: Mr. J.A. Book 0 comments

Don't you feel doing something over and over again; I mean, something that has already become a habit, a routine - is boring? I think most of you, if not all, agree with me that it's simply BORING. That is why we never stop searching - whatever that search may be. And we never stop inventing and reinventing. Who wants to be left behind? Nobody else, right?

It came to me this thought today. I celebrated my "mothsary" with the company I'm working with last week. It's been one month since I've stepped foot in this office and listened to my boss's lengthy lecture about the windings of the company and his never-ending lecture about integrity - the value that the company holds and I'd say glorifies.
