For YOU

Marami-rami na rin naman
ang aking natulungan....
Kung bibilangin sa daliri,
baka magkulang.



Don't get me wrong...
I'm not making papel here....
But just the same,
I wanna say something.


Mga pinag-aral, mga pinatuloy at kinanlong;
Mga pinalaki, binihisan, tinuruan.
Ang asam ko hindi bayad sa lahat ng kabutihan,
kundi isang sulyap....`di kaya`y
~ kahit konting pagtingin....~man lang.



Wala ni "Salamat" o "Kumusta na?"
Ni ~ha -ni- ho!....wala, wala yan, companero.
Masakit man sa puso, iniyakan ko rin `yan
Dasal pa rin sambit ko para sa kanila araw-araw.....



Ganun yata talaga ang buhay.
May marunong tumanaw, may walang pakialam.
Kahit ilang Pasko na ang nakakaraan,
Wala ni tawag, sulat man o pagdalaw.



Ang masaklap doon nang minsang aki'y sulatan
Para papirmahin sa isang papeles ng lupang pinahiram.....
Aba't ang sagot super tigasin kung turingan,
Iba na talaga kapag 'yumaman' ang taong natulungan.




Ilang beses ko rin yang iniyakan nang iniyakan.
Ilang ulit kong tinanong kung ano ang kasalanan....
Bawa't salita, bawa't bagay na tinuringan
Sarili ko pa rin, sa lahat, may kasalanan.





As I walk through the road, as I travel through life....
I realize that there are things we can't change in this world.
I must accept that things were made as it is....
Can't change them...can't do anything.





Rest assured my love for them is true
It won't change till my blood turn blue;
Even if they snub me and hate me my whole life thru
I will be there for them when they need me, sigurado!




*
I just hope and pray that these people see the light



soon!

****

Naligaw lang siguro
at hindi matandaan
ang daan papunta
sa aking tahanan.

Senkaku






China is causing some alarm in the Asia-Pacific region these past decade or so~.


China, one of the biggest [by force?] countries in the world has been a bully. It has bullied its immediate neighbors like Nepal, Tibet and extending help to NoKor against Japan. It has also been involved in claiming islets half a globe away from its shores like the Spratlys.

Several days ago, a video footage apparently taken by three Japan Coast Guard patrol boats have found its way in YouTube showing how the "collision" really happened. But of course, China is protesting [as usual!] expressing its "concern" over its continuing strained relations.

In China, Chinese media reports that it was the Japan Coast Guard which rammed the chinese trawler. It was the other way around.

The video footage itself is damning. China can never recover and say theirs isn't at fault. It was the Chinese trawler which rammed into the JCG patrol boat despite repeated warnings in Chinese and Japanese languages. Masyadong mabait itong mga Japanese Coast Guard men. Everything by the book! Dapat diyan, binigyan ng gulpi de gulat at sipang de padyak para mabawasan ang kayabangan.

Pati ba naman ang Spratlys, kanila raw?

MISs Lang

The recent brouhaha about the tweets of Carmen Mislang
while in Hanoi proved fatal, not only for her reputation but
also for the country in general.
Why?



Because it shows lack of breeding.
You're in another `house' and you say bad things against your host?
No matter how good you are, you must remember to behave
not only because people are looking, but because of the implications
your actions will generate that will reflect badly on your boss.


Or na-miss lang niya ang GMRC?
Pasensiya na po at may na-MISLANG sa
grupo ni P-Noy.



Pero kung may delicadeza itong mga ito,
marahil alam na nila ang gagawin.
I hope P-Noy listens not
to his colleagues who recommended these brats
but to the voice of the people.







***************************

That is why I refrain from social networking
no matter how often my cyber-friends extend their invites.
I can be candid and tweet to my heart`s content, why not?

But random thoughts at times can be disastrous
albeit murderous.
Words said whilst in high spirit
can unmake a person and her/his well-guarded
reputation thrashed to bits & pieces......








What's happening?

Of late, I've been seeing articles titled this way.
Seems to me, nothing much has changed.
Perhaps, it's a little too early to tell....
and we need to stretch our patience and see what happens.


The news earlier says that gloria, the fake had her pork barrel inserted
in the new budget appropriations for 2011.
What??!! Same old story? Same old money!?
To quote my Lolo:
"...same-same, no change!?"

Tanong kayo nang tanong...
eh pareho rin naman ang nangyayari sa TONGreso.


The best solution is this:
SCRAP the pork!
Kung baga mag-diet tayo.
Healthy meals to make the nation grow.


Tingnan natin kung may tatakbo pa ring congressmen at
senators sa susunod na eleksyon.
Lasa ko matitira na lang yung tanging gustong magsilbi
para sa taumbayan.
