Letter of Separation for 2016

Dear 2016, Hey there! You know what, I had a rough yet exciting adventure with you. As a cliché line says: It was like a rollercoaster ride with you. Though full of ups and downs, it was still an unforgettable experience. A lot of people say that you suck , which is actually undeniable but I think it is just because that they weren’t able to see the good side of you. They didn’t know that you had a lot of great stuff to offer. A lot of people also left when you came along. As a famous graduation speech line says: To begin with something you, you must sacrifice something old . Fate must have decided that a plenty will leave my side so that a bunch of life-changing people will come along in exchange. It was also when you came when controversies became more rampant. Extrajudicial killings, death of famous people, Presidential Elections, Feminism and LGBTQ+ issues are just some of it. With all these bad news broadcasted every night, I don’t think I’m the only who is tired

Paano

Paano kung iwan mo ulit ako kagaya ng biglaan mong paglisan noon sa tabi ko? Kasi ako, lumisan man ako ay isasama kita dahil ang gusto ko ay kasabay kita sa pagtahak at pagsuong sa kung saan man ako pupunta. Hindi kita iiwan, hindi ako lilisan, kasi alam ko ang pakiramdam nang may lumiban, na wala man lang paalam. Paano kung pumili ka na naman ng iba at iwan muli ako sa ere? Kasi ako, ikaw at ikaw pa din ang pipiliin ko kahit ano pa man ang mangyari. Handa akong tanggapin ka kahit ilang beses mo pa akong hindi isama sa mga plano mo. Handa akong tanggapin ka kahit ilang beses mo pa akong iwanan sa isang lugar na walang katiyakan, sa isang lugar na tanging ikaw at ako lang ang nakakaalam, sa isang lugar na tila ako na lamang ang nakakaalam. Paano kung sabihin ko na di ako titigil na magmahal at umasa sa iyo, mapapatawad mo kaya ako? Kasi ako, hinding-hindi ako magsasawang magpatawad sayo. Hinding-hindi ako magsasawang umasa na magbabago ka pa, na babalikan mo

Sa Aking Hardin

Kay tagal na noong huling nabuhay ang aking hardin. Huminto na ang pamumukadkad ng mga bulaklak dito. Wala na itong kulay, Wala na itong buhay. Ngunit dumating ang mga paru-paro, Kasabay nito ang napakaraming mga pagbabago. Ang mga bulaklak sa aking hardin ay muling namukadkad. Nagkaroon ng kulay. Nanumbalik ang buhay. Nagdulot ito ng malaking ngiti sa aking labi. Kaya sa hardin, ako’y madalas nang nanatili. Pero sabi nga nila, ang pagbabago lamang ang tanging permanente sa mundo. Ang inakala kong kasiyahan na mananatili, ay lumisan na sa aking tabi. Napalitan ang mga paru-paro ng mga uod. Uod na siyang kumain sa mga magagandang bulaklak. Sa mga makukulay at nagbibigay-buhay na mga alaala. Hindi ako nawalan ng pag-asa na muli pang mabubuhay ang aking hardin. Dumating naman ang mga bubuyog. Sa patuloy na pagtitiwala na maibabalik pa ang lahat sa dati, Ang mga bubuyog na ito ay siyang araw-araw na tumutusok sa akin. Nagbibigay man ng buhay a

To One of My Greatest Influencer

I was in fifth grade when I transferred to Maranatha Christian Academy and as a new student, I have to fit in. It was hard for me since its environment is a lot different than my previous schools. To be honest, I came from a school with a small population of students, like the half of each class in MCA is the number of my class in my previous school. So I started thinking of different ways to adjust with the new environment and new set of people to deal with. Yes, it was not easy for me. Until you came along. The day you entered our class, I was so scared because my classmates were saying that you’re masungit and strict. So when you entered, I started praying that I’ll be in good terms with you. To cut the very long story short, I became close with you. You even asked me to tutor my classmate who is having a hard time with spelling and constructing sentences. And since I know that he's also having a hard time dealing with the other subjects, I decided to tutor him for a o

Sa Pagkakaalam Ko...

Naaalala mo pa lahat ng ating pinagsamahan? Masaya, malungkot, iba’t ibang uri ng pagkakataon. Sa pagkakaalam ko… Wala ka naman amnesia, pero bakit nakalimutan mo ako? Bigla ka na lang lumayo, ‘di man lang nagpasabi Nandiyan ka nga pero parang wala din Sa pagkakaalam ko… Wala ka naman sa ibang bansa, pero bakit parang sobrang layo mo sa akin? Ilang taon na ang lumipas nang iwasan mo ako Ang tagal na din noong ako’y iyong huling kinibo Sa pagkakaalam ko… Wala ka naman sa piling ko, ngunit bakit ikaw pa rin ang parating bukambibig ko? Naaalala ko pa lahat ng ating pinagsamahan. Masaya, malungkot, lahat ng uri ng pagkakataon. Sa pagkakaalam ko… Magka-amnesia ka man, pilit ko pa din sa iyong ipapaalala ang lahat ng ito. Lumayo ka nang walang pasabi, ngunit kahit na ganoon nanatili ako sa iyong tabi. Nandito ako palagi sayo, kahit na ikaw pa ay malayo. Sa pagkakaalam ko… Kahit nasa ibang bansa ka man, hindi ito magiging basehan upang ika’y iwa

Hangin

Napadaan na ang hangin. Kasabay nito ang paglipad ng mga alaala natin. Napakabilis lang ng mga nangyari, Tila kahapon lang nang ika'y dumating. Di ko inaasahan na ika'y makakapiling, Ngunit di ko akalain na ako'y iyo rin palang lilisanin. Napakasaya ng ating kahapon, hindi mo aakalain na magiging ganito tayo ngayon. Sinabi pa nga nila daig pa natin ang hugis ng Mayon, mas perpekto pa daw doon ang ating relasyon. Ngunit di nagtagal, dumaan na ang hangin, kasabay nito ang mga alaala natin. Itong hangin na ito'y may kasama rin palang unos, unos na siyang sumira sa ating relasyon na higit pa sa raw sa pagkaperpekto ng Mayon. Kasabay ng unos ay ang ulan, ulan na napakalakas, na bawat patak ay siyang naging katumbas ng aking pagluha. Alam mo ba, Basang-basa na ako, sa sarili kong ulan. Ang daming tumatakbo sa isip ko, oo kabilang ka dito. Pinipilit mong iligtas ang sarili mo sa unos ng aking isipan,  kaya iniwan mo na ang i

Tulog na ng Mahimbing

Sa tuwing sasapit ang dilim, Madalas din na napapaisip ako nang malalim. Hanggang kailan ko kaya ito daramdamin? Hanggang kailan ko kaya ito iisipin? Sa totoo lang, sawa na ako. Sawa na akong mag-isip sa mga katanungan sa aking isipan na wala namang sagot. Sawa na akong sagutin ang aking sarili na maya-maya'y may isang katanungan na naman na mabubuo. Sawa na ako sa kakaisip ng mga maaaring kahihinatnan ng mga bagay na aking gagawin. Kakaisip sa kahihitnatnan sana ng mga bagay na aking nang nagawa. Hanggang kailan kaya ako manghihinayang? Hanggang kailan ko kaya babanggitin ang mga salitang "Sayang, sana..." Sana ganito, sana ganyan. Eh di sana ganito, eh di sana ganyan. Puro panghihinayang. Puro pagtataka. Puro panghihinayang sa mga bagay na hindi ko nagawa dahil masyado akong duwag at takot sa mga kahihinatnan. Puro pagtataka sa magiging epekto ng napakaraming "sana" na dapat naging mga magagandang "alaala".

Philippine Schools as Fashion Runways?!

“Bawas gastusin sa mga magulang ang target ni Mayor Rodrigo Duterte kung kaya't balak niya ring ipatupad ang no school uniform policy sa mga eskwelahan.” [ source: http://news.abs-cbn.com/video/nation/05/17/16/duterte-eyes-no-school-uniform-policy ] The presumptive president of the Philippines, Mayor Rodrigo Duterte plans to implement a “ no school uniform” policy in our schools. When this plan was raised on the news, it became the topic of all social media sites. The Filipino teenagers were 50-50 about it. Some reacted to it positively, while some saw this plan in a negative way. Well on my side, wearing a school uniform makes me feel the school environment even more. It’s like a jacket in the cold weather for me. It gave me what I call the ‘school vibes’. And also, as the class secretary who always check the uniforms of my classmates, I really find it annoying and informal when a classmate wears either improper or incomplete uniform. It even pisses me when I see them ro

Hello, Local Hugot!

Hey guys! It was not that long time ago since I started posting “ Mabilisang Hugot” posts, and as you can notice, my latest blog updates are written in Filipino. Based on the audience who read my blogs, most of you are not from Philippines so I guess it’s kind of a wrong move to write in my native language. But I needed to do it so I could freely express my points in the upcoming elections in our country. I hope through my blogs, some Filipinos were educated or at least opened their minds about the thoughts of most Filipino teenagers about the elections. Anyway, for my Filipino readers, I’m not gonna post any more “Mabilisang Hugot” posts in my blog but instead, I started a twitter account with my friend, Elleisha. It’s called @localhugot ( https://twitter.com/localhugot ) and it is where we post  hugots. You can find there English or Tagalog hugots originally made by us, your favorite hugot lines from your favorite people, movies and books and also your favorite hugot

Truth & Consequence

Truth or Consequence is a game we start to play when we’re in middle school years (cause this is the time where you start having crushes and also where we began to think of crazy and naughty dares and stuff). But we’re not gonna talk about that game. Yesterday, I realized that telling the truth is facing a consequence too. So if you chose to tell the truth in the truth or consequence game, then you’re hitting two birds with one stone. Just like in real life, if you chose to tell the truth, be prepared to face a consequence… or consequences! Telling the truth makes someone feel really good. I mean if you have a lot of burden in your chest, then I guess telling the truth will make you feel so damn good. But later on, you will realize its consequences. It may be good or bad consequences. But how can you know if the consequence will be good or bad? Well, you won’t know about it unless you try it . To tell the truth takes a lot of courage to do and patience to wait for the ri

Muling Pakikialam

If you’re a Filipino and you haven’t heard of Daniel Padilla saying “Marami kasi nagmamagaling sa eleksyon, hindi naman botante, so shut up ka na lang, hindi ka naman botante,” well if not you’re missing out a lot. [ but im so nice so yeah here’s an article from Rappler about it: http://www.rappler.com/entertainment/news/131773-daniel-padilla-netizens-artists-for-mar-roxas ] Daniel Padilla – teen king, THEY SAID. I mean if he really is the “teen king” well then he needs to represent the teenagers. I don’t actually like him or hate him but when he said that ‘shut up ka na lang’ statement, kasing init na ng panahon ngayon sa Pinas ang dugo ko sa kanya. If he really is the “teen king” sana naman nagpakundangan siya sa statement niya na kung di pa botante eh “shut up muna”, I mean I know na alam niya naman siguro na hindi na lang nagsasa-walang kibo yung mga kabataan ngayon sa darating na halalan. He could have said something na less offensive. And to his butthurt fans, hindi ko n
