*Paghuli ng Bulalakaw*

Minsan ako'y nakahuli ng isang bulalakaw,
at sa aking mga kamay inilagay
Ako'y lubhang napaso, nasaktan ng lubusan
kaya't aking itong pinakawalan...

Isang gabi, natanaw ko ang isang tala
na nagliyab sa himpapawirin
Akin lamang tinignan, at aking pinagmithian
Wari ko'y ngayon, tama ang aking ginawa.

Kailangan kong lumisan sandali sa init mo
Paalam ng panandalian sa ngayon
Alam nating darating ito
Salamat sa kahapong pinagsaluhan
Iiwan kita na may pag irog sa kaluluwa

Magbabadya ang kinabukasan na di natin alam kung ano meron
Susulong sa pagbabago ng mundo ang ating mga nararamdaman
Iibig muli at siyang aakap...

Hi JOSEPHINE, KAMUSTA KA NA?
SIGURO nagtataka ka kung bakit ako sumulat
PASENSYA  NA, pero WAG KANG MAGTATANONG,
WAG NA, dahil magiging BULAG, PIPI at BINGI,
Lang ang damdamin ko sa paghinga,
AWIT NG PANGARAP na PANGARAP LANG
LIGAW tingin  akong humahanga

Nang literal na nagkabanggaan
Nadaig ko pa ang JEEPNEY...

Weary weapons wearing writhing works wonderfully wreathed wigs...... Oh wow how magnificent the yellow radiance of a piece of straw. Leaning bending learning. Admire nit a wisdom curl if a pitch of ball. Throw away in a diameter. Then run run run. A custard cyber...

the Hissings of mumbai
the bright colours of the city chimes
this motherland of mine
has many stories and tales that shines

the buzzing streets of surat
buried with past secrets
people commemorate despite of their different lives
all residing side by side

mango bazaar in valsad
designer clothes and bag shops
an orphan child...

BUHAYIN

Ang ngiti mo'y bumabagay
Sa hatid ng iyong mga labi
Ika'y nagsisilbing tala sa hating gabi.

Mga munting mata na marikit
Sa akin ay pinapawi ang lahat ng sakit
Tanging nais lang ay sayo'y lumagi

Chorus:
Abangan na lang natin
Bumalik ang bukas
At iwanan ang darating
Kung lahat man ay kumupas
Sa iyo ay mananatiling...

During finals week, I’d spent days on various reports and papers, scribbling in the margins of notes and books, checking facts, revising flashcards and prepping with friends. I’ve an unshakable faith in plodding persistence.
We were tested and sent packing.

Today, I’m in Geneva, with Peter (my...

Donald Trump’s on trial - the first of many.
It’s a cold feeling, being judged
- with your future held in the balance
(Ok, that sounded SO much like college life).

We all hope for greatness, I believe.
As kids, we see ourselves winning Wimbledon,
or standing on the gold medal...
