palabas
Monday, February 16, 2009“Isa kang anghel sa langit”
Sabi sa palabas na
pinanood ko kanina sa lobby;
Tumawa lang ako…
Pero ikaw sobrang natuwa;
“Ang sweet naman”
Magkaiba nga tayo ng mundo
Mayaman ka, mahirap
Ako
Gusto mo yung mga kending
pula sa tindahang bato
Gusto ko ung isaw na
itim sa baga dun sa kanto
Fan ka ni Nietzsche at Mao
Fan mo ako
Kilala ka ng lahat sa
Kolehiyo; sinudundan ng tingin ng mga
Kaklase’t propesor mo
Kinang ko nama’y singsing mo lang…
Isang editor ng ating dyaryo na
Iniisnab basahin ng mga kabaro mo
Iilang tao lang ang kilala ako
Iba talaga ang mundo mo…
“Gusto kita”
Sabi ko sa mga mata mong
nanonood ng palabas sa lobby;
(…tinawanan niya ako)

genesis
Sunday, September 28, 2008I am a father of three blogs, and nothing actually ever lived beyond 3 months. One even barely had anything at all. Somehow I love starting over and then later to just start over again. It should stop right here; well, at least this should start something better.
Better. That has been an operative word why it always boil down to starting over and over for the longest time. In search for something better, we all somehow tend to leave the not-so-better behind. But this time, I think I’m at least in a more sober state of mind already to stop falling to the trap of rebooting things and losing control.
Control. Someone from far back said that I am obsessed to having everything in control and for me to have control of everything. True. I’ve been admitting that over and over again, but only because I believe that we all should at least take control of things that we can control. Perhaps I’m just running into that problem of how to define ‘things that we can control’. Read: things.
Things, and that already encompasses so many. We all get to be very vague once in a while for a reason.
Reason. Months ago we took a Myers-Briggs test and I scored as ENTJ, where T=Thinking; and for that alone I scored a whopping 95% against its counterpart F=Feeling. And my boss once said that I am really too much of a T. True. But then, that’s not always infallible. There are times that I get unreasonable and doesn’t think much - for a reason. Maybe to take control, to make things better, or for world peace.
