If..

You were a bunch of crickets talking, and all of you suddenly became silent, what would you hear chirping in the background?

Honored..

A song you have made,has reached my ears.

beautiful and glorious,

i listen to it and i hear your heart.

tender and loving, A fitting gift.

I think me unworthy,

not deserving of this honor.

That something so precious to you,

was placed in the palm of my hands.

With words you soothe my soul,

with your touch all the colors pour forth.

WIth a whisper you melt my being.

And build it up again with an embrace.

I look into your eyes and smile,

A smile that comes as often as a blue moon.

You have roused me from my sleep,

and you left a mark that cannot be undone.

You have changed me, 

And I am forever ni debt.

You will always remind me how this life is worth living.

You have honored me with your being.

Bungkal..

Habang ako'y bumabyahe pauwe mula sa trabaho isang araw (lunes ata un), napansin ko nalang na ang isang kalye na madalas kong nadadaanan ay nabungkal na, bitak-bitak, at may ilang katao na nagmimistulang "umaayos" dito. Sinubukan kong tandaan ang sira ng naturang kalsada at wala akong matandaan. Mukang maayos naman cia dati at nagagampanan ang layunin ng isang kalsada. Ilang araw ang nakalipas at napansin ko na nagsimula naring bungkalin ang marami pang ibang kalye sa Maynila. 

Dun ko napatunayan na nalalapit na ang eleksyon.

Ang "pag-aayos" ng kalsada ay isa lamang sa maraming sintomas ng eleksyong paparating. Ito ang isa sa mga biglaan o maagang napupuna sapagkat ito ay nagmimistulang malaking karatula: imposibleng hindi mo ito mapansin dahil apektado ang dadaanan mo. And sunod mong mapapansin ay ang signboard na nagsasabing ginagawa ang naturang kalye (talaga? hindi obyus?) na may kasamang pangalan ng taong nagpagawa nito - Ang taong nangangampanya.

Nakakasuka, kung tatanungin mo ko, sapagkat napaka-garapal lang talaga. Ipinagsisigawan ng mga proyektong ito ang napaka-halatang pagpapakitang-gilas at pagpapasikat. Napakadaming panahon na maaaring mag-ayos ng kalsada. Madaming taong ang lumipas na niragasa tayo ng bagyo at binaha. Maraming bahay ang nasira, maraming gamit ang tinangay. Oo, kasalanan din ng mga taong nagtatapon ng basura sa kalye nang walang pakundangan, pero ano ba naman yan! Yung dahilan ba ng pag-papaayos ng kalsada ay ngayon lang napansin? Kung hindi man baha ang dahilan at kondisyon lang ng kalsada, naman-naman..Matino pa yang kalye na "ginagawa" ninyo! At yan din ung parehas na kalye na "ginawa" ninyo ilang taon lang ang nakalipas - ilang taon, kamo? Ung dami ng taon mula nung huling eleksyon.

Kung tutuusin, magandang istratehiya yan kung gusto talagang mapansin ng mga botante. Pero tandaan, natututo din ang tao. Tumatalino din ang mga botante *crosses fingers* and nagsisimula nang mag-isip. Ako'y umaasa na ang mga raket na ganito ay di na gagana nang basta basta sa mga tao at mapipili na talaga natin ang mga kandidato na taos-pusong magsisilbi sa mga kababayan.

Nga pala, sampol lang ung larawan sa itaas. Di yan ung kalye. Hehe.

Puppy Love..

Her name is Okane. Small. Dark as a shadow. Strong and adventurous. Mischievous, and Loaded with enough energy to power up the whole country.

Oh, and she's my pet puppy, and I love her.

Every time I've been going home for the the past 5 months have been the best each and every time. I open that door and i would always see that light on her eyes as her tail wags unendingly in delight. The way she jumps up and down shows how much she wants to convey excitement that i've arrived. I guess that emotion you get someone misses you and can't wait to show love is a feeling all dog owners have the privelege of getting. All the weariness and stress you felt the whole day suddenly drains off as she starts licking at you and giving you that "face". If they said in surveys that dog owners lived happier and fuller lives, i wouldn't doubt that a single bit.

Puppy love is very much different from the way people do. It is unselfish, devoted and loyal. Urgent and patient. It is pure. You cannot compare it to anything else, i guess, especially when it is shown with those adorable eyes. I guess that's why they call children's affection puppy love. It is untainted and can never be corrupted by anything in this world. That is why they call a person who's loyalty never falters as a puppy of of another. They cannot be bribed against the hand that raised them. And this is why it's so amazing.

She's 5 months, more or less a child in dog years, but just about to hit her teens. Right now she is always full of energy and always running around and destroying stuff (i admit. I'm poor when it comes to dog training) and i hope, besides the destroying part, she stays that way until her later years.
