Celebration!

By
Filipino people love to celebrate. Apart from Christmas, Birthdays, New Year, Weddings, Festivals and Anniversaries; Filipinos also celebrate some special and random occasions. Like a celebration after the house was blessed, celebration after a baby’s christening, Mother’s day and Father’s day celebration and celebration after a successful event; (thanksgiving kumbaga) like passing an exam, getting high grades, promotions and a graduation celebration.








The celebration of the event that took place last April 5 happened last April 9 four days after the most memorable day of my life happen. I can say that it was worth it; maybe this will be our last excursion before we bid our adieu. We usually hangout and have fun after some mind boggling event like what happen on the 5th day of April, but this one is different.















I am so glad that we have the chance to spend some quality time with each other before we part ways. Nieleth will be leaving for Manila on May 7 while Bless, Krissa, and Chresmae will be leaving for Cebu maybe on July. I will surely miss being with them, I will be looking forward on meeting you guys again. Best luck to each one of us! Godspeed!



P.S. April 9 was also the Birthday of Nieleth. So, double BAM!! :)

The Poverty of the Woman Who Turned Herself into Stone

By
“Into stone, This struggle Has turned me Into stone.” She has no hands. She is the folded hand. A fist, frozen. Permafrost Anger that cannot thaw into sorrow. She has no eyes She is the blinded eye. She is her own blinding dark. At noon, her socket carries the night. She is all ears. Voices weigh her down. She sinks into a swill of noises. Silence is not always her own choice. She wears a monochrome of gray. Clowns, orphans, soldiers at war – Their laughter has that stone – Texture of gray. The poem entitled “The Poverty of the Woman Who Turned Herself into Stone” is a classic Filipino poem that was written by Lina Sagaral-Reyes , a classic Filipino poet. The story that was describe by the poem is pretty harsh, and that makes the poem more interesting and mind boggling. The speaker of the poem, which is a woman, sees and describes the situation of the character presented in the poem. The poem is in the third person point o...

But The Western Stars

By
One Beautiful starry night Set me adrift on the bay tonight, Tonight when the gray winds blow Over the waves to the western stars My banca and I must go You would have built me an altar here Where lingers the wave born dew And I would have taken the silver dusk To gather young dreams for you But the western lagoons and the lonely stars -  They whisper across the sea And I must go to a misty shore  That calls through the dark to me. Then set me adrift on the bay tonight, Tonight when the sad winds blow And over the wave to the western stars Evening and I will go The poem entitled "But The Western Stars" is a classic Filipino poem that was written by Angela Manalang - Gloria, a Filipina poet in English Language. The story that was describe by the poem is pretty sad, but that was one of those factors that make the poem beautiful and nostalgic.  Traditionally, this poem is read as a meditation on death. In traditional...

Wanderlust | Villa Tagalog; Panaon, Misamis Occidental

By
This blog post really took forever. This post took me days to finish, and it took me two months before I posted it here. I was really tired and exhausted these past few days that my thoughts and ideas are blur and disarray. I can’t concentrate on making the draft of this blog post (I make drafts first before posting) because I was soooooooooooooooooooooooooo (yeah, that’s an exaggeration, but no, I’m serious.) tired I feel like I am not myself and I always daydream which I don’t usually do (I wonder what is happening to me). Pero, sa awa naman ng diyos, natapos ko rin. So, keep reading! This is actually my second entry in this category Wanderlust. My last one which is the first entry is where we go to Tangub City to witness their Christmas symbol and straight to the Municipality of Aloran for their Buka Beach last year, that was December (if you hadn’t read that entry, click here ). I don’t get to travel as much as I wanted to because of my hectic schedule, but I will try m...
