A Million Ways To Say I Love You

They say
?There are a million ways?
To say I love you

In this day and age?
I could only find
?In my computer’s brain?
The words 
to say I love you?
In 53 languages 
of the 10,000 languages
?Spoken on this planet

Someday I may be able
?To say the simple words
?I love you?
In all know languages?
This will have to suffice for a start

So I will say it
?Loud, and clear?
Just so you understand:

Paghuli Ng Bulalakaw (Catching Falling Stars)

*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.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*  *

*Catching Falling Stars*

Once I caught a falling star
and cupped it in my hand...
It burned me so, it hurt me so
that I just had to let it go

Then one night, I saw a star
that blazed across the sky...
I looked at it, just wished upon it
and I knew that this time, I did right.

***********

Oddly enough I haven't really written any poems in 
my native tongue, tsk tsk shame on me!! 
(I've only written only ONE, wow)
& it's taking me forever to translate it to English
so, I decided to go about it the other way around
and translate an old poem of mine instead, & here
it is! My Filipino translation though is sort of rusty when 
it comes to the flow of the poem (but hmm I guess
only those who know how to speak Tagalog would see that ^_~)

it's fun though so I just might try to write more translations!
Gert sure makes this look sooo easy!! ;)

663 The 3rd Period of the American Era of Philippine History: The Commonwealth Government

663.

The 3rd Period of the American Era of Philippine History:

The Commonwealth Government



If from Spain, we sought our freedom through Revolution

From USA, we sought our freedom through Independence Mission

The foundation of our Commonwealth Government

Preparing the Philippines for becoming a nation independent



The fruitful delegations were the Os-Rox Mission

And the one spearheaded by Manuel Quezon

That mission of Osmeña-Roxas produced the Hare-Hawes-Cutting Law

While that of Quezon resulted to the Tydings-McDuffie Law



The Tydings-McDuffie Law called for Constitutional Convention

That later led to the drafting of our Constitution

When our Constitution we already accomplished

Our Commonwealth Government was subsequently established



The Commonwealth Government was led by President Quezon

It created new government offices and furthered its Filipinization

It made Tagalog as the basis of our National Language

It promoted social justice & granted woman suffrage



This is the 3rd Period of American Era – The Commonwealth Government

The preparation of the Philippines to becoming independent

The Americans would let go of our country in a friendly & dignified way

God wanted the Philippines a sweet separation from USA.

695 Gusto Ko sa Mamamayan ng Ating Bansa: Ika-5 Utos ng Dios Ama

695.

Gusto Ko sa Mamamayan ng Ating Bansa:

Ika-5 Utos ng Dios Ama



Ang Ika-5 Utos ng Dios Ama

Ay gusto kong isaisip ng mga mamamayan ng ating bansa

Huwag papatay ng ating kapwa

May karapatan ding mabuhay sila



Huwag papatay ng kapwa tao ang mga mamamayang Pilipino

Buhay nila ay bigyang halaga sa ating mga puso

Huwag papatay ng kapwa tao sa buong bansa na ito

At maging saanmang dako ng mundo



Ang hindi pagkitil sa buhay ng ating kapwa

Ay ipangaral sa lahat sa pamamagitan ng salita

Salita ang kaluluwa ng mga utos Niya

Kaluluwang bibigyang-katawan ng kilos at gawa



Gawa ang magsasabuhay sa Ika-5 Utos na ito

Gawin ito nawa ng mga mamamayang Pilipino

Hindi lamang sa bansa nating ito

Kundi pati narin sa buong mundo.

A Note In the Wind

On a cloudy Wednesday,
While listening to my favourite Tagalog playlist,
I scribbled a love note. 

Dear Love,
I don't know you yet, but I want to do life with you.
I can already feel how random meeting you would be; or maybe not.
I have so many secrets to share with you;
Will you keep my secrets?
I'll keep yours as well .

Then, I paused. 
Thinking of what to write next. 
My eyes shifted to my music player.
‘Muse’, the track I love came on. 
While mouthing the words of the song,
The love note I was writing flew right past me; 
Released into the wind.
Looking at the note which seemed to drift farther from my sight,
I mouthed the words that would have ended the love note.

 I’ll prove my heart to you
 I'll make you to be proud of what I feel for you...  


Your love


671 Hangad Ko Para sa Ating Bansa: Ika-1 Utos ng Dios Ama

671.

Hangad Ko Para sa Ating Bansa:

Ika-1 Utos ng Dios Ama



Ang pairalin ang Ika-1 Utos ng Dios Ama

Ay hangad ko para sa ating bansa

Dios lamang ang tanging sambahin

Siya lamang ang nag-iisang Dios natin



Sambahin Siya sa pamamagitan ni Hesukristo

Na nagdulot ng Kanyang pagtubos sa mga tao

Sambahin ang Dios na nagkatawang-tao

Pumarito sa lupa upang iligtas tayo



Sambahin Siya sa pamamagitan ng Espiritu Santo

Na nagpamalas ng Kanyang pagpatnubay sa mga tao

Sambahin ang Dios at ang Kanyang Banal na Ispirito

Pumarito sa lupa upang gabayan tayo



Sambahin ang Dios sa pamamagitan ni Inang Maria

Na sa babaeng lahat ay bukod na pinagpala

At siya ring sumasamba sa Dios natin

Nawa'y ang bansang Pilipinas Dios lamang ang sambahin.

Premium Member New Words Marvel

Language breathes. Dictionaries opened their doors to thousands: petrichor finally named, gigil crossing oceans from Tagalog hearts, morto carrying Irish embarrassment across continents. Each word a technofossil in reverse and not debris but seed. Where analog crumbles into digital decay, new phonemes sprout from chat windows and kitchen tables, from Glasgow to Manila, Waterford to Johannesburg.

After warm rain falls
petrichor naming something
we always had known

The mouse jiggler hums on desks where we WFH, pretending presence while bed rotting through Sundays, doom-scrolling until brain fog sets in. A chatbot asks if I'm still there. Ghost kitchens feed nobody's neighbourhood. We've made words for our hollow industriousness, our productive stillness, our illuminated solitude, each term a hard pass at something we cannot quite refuse.

Screen glow at midnight
even the AI wonders
if we're still awake

But listen: teenagers shout skibidi at nothing and everything, absolutely delulu with joy, their rizz and aura untranslatable to us, perfect in their imperfection. A girl shows her butter skin lewk and someone says she ate and left no crumbs, bet. In Dublin, they're morto over spice bags; in Kuala Lumpur, tapau your nasi lemak with kaya on the side. The mouth remembers before the dictionary does. Alamak, how we've been speaking new languages all along.

Grandmother's recipe
lumpia rolls carrying words
the page can't hold yet

Perhaps this is the burnt toast theory of linguistics: what seems lost makes room for what must come. The broligarchy names itself. Gen Alpha coins snackable for their fractured attention, honest about their inheritance. Climavores choose with conscience; we practice eco-minimalism like prayer. Generative AI makes prose while we make slang, both of us biohacking meaning from the ruins of the old world, both of us marvelling that anything grows at all.

Sharp-sharp, we greet
this shoogly train of language
hold on, enjoy ride

Premium Member Pearl of the Orient

"Ang hindi lumingon sa pinanggalingan, 
hindi makakarating sa paroroonan".
(A person who does not remember where he came from 
will never reach his destination).
Filipino proverb.

Gift me wings so I can fly to a blessed land
of emerald isles with an eclectic ecosystem, 
admiring an affluence of biodiversity
of tropical exotic fauna and flora, 
where turquoise waves wander onto 
golden shores of alluring Binitinan, 
exploring the coral reefs of Boracay.

A place where childhood dreams fill the air,
where innocence once built sandcastles,
but now all that is left is forgotten footprints -
from ghosts of ancestors.

Let me soar with the Pithecophaga Jefferyi eagle,
through rainforests and Kawasan falls,
where souls are free to roam the motherland's
seven thousand spine-tingling islands,
from Maya bay to Palawan's underground rivers 
of enigmatic Puerta Princesa, 
until we greet the palm trees of Camiguin -
the valley of volcanoes and the sunken cemetery.

Viewing the Colours of StoBoSa to the
pretty patterns of Ifugao rice terraces,
until we reach the marvels of Luzon,
silently perching upon the zenith of
Mount Pulag's peaks, transcending spiritual
echoes towards Mindanao's Mount Apo,
whispering secretive Tagalog tongues,
in one hundred diasporic dialects,
as iris and marmalade skies welcome sunset,
we'll bathe in the sapphire ripples of Bohol sea.

Then we'll follow radiant night lights,
reaching the bustling streets of Manila,
losing ourselves in the succulent scents
of balut, kwek kwek, taho, halo halo,
as we devour juicy lanzones,
refreshed by a cool breeze, 

The pearl of the Orient,
home of Balagtas' Florante at Laura,
dulcet tones of Santiago's Anak Dalita,
where heartfelt hospitality
with rich cultural heritage, 
soothe tired eyes gazing at
natural wonders of ancient views,
where vibrant hues leave you breathless.

683 Nais Ko sa Gobierno ng Ating Bansa: Ika-3 Utos ng Dios Ama

683.

Nais Ko sa Gobierno ng Ating Bansa:

Ika-3 Utos ng Dios Ama



Ang Ika-3 Utos ng Dios Ama

Ay nais kong gawing batas ng ating Lehislatura

Araw ng Dios ay pakabanalin sa ating bansa

Ito ay banal at nararapat sa pagkilala



Pakabanalin ang Araw ng Dios sa bansang ito

Ang nais kong ipatupad ng ating Ehekutibo

Pakabanalin ang araw Niya ng lahat ng mga Pilipino

Hanggang sa katapusan ng ating mundo



Ang hindi magpakabanal sa Araw ng Dios Ama

Ay nais kong parusahan ng ating Hudikatura

Nararapat pakabanalin ang araw Niya sa buong bansa

Sapagkat Siya ang ating Dios na Tagapaglikha



Ang Pagpapairal sa utos na ito

Ang nais kong patunguhan ng ating pondo

Pondohan nawa ng ating gobierno

Ang pagpapakabanal sa Araw ng Dios sa bansang ito.

Premium Member My Narrative Poem

Hi today I woke up a few minutes before 8am stood up to go pi at 8am 

then went to the kitchen to have breakfast, I prayed, did the Rosary then left 

to go to my bedroom for Saturday Coffee Chat lead by Ms. Yvette and Ms. 

May. I was practicing what to say but unfortunately I did not get to check in. I 

was relieved when I finished the whole Daily Reflection on the month of March 

and after the group, I did the Living Faith’s Daily Reflection for the month of 

April. I don’t know but God took away my voice but He exchanged it and I 

don’t want to say better because it’s what I can do. Although I’m disable with 

paralyzed left arm I think I can do a good job in writing poetry but I don’t 

have any clue of poetry’s Rhythm or Meter. I actually don’t have much words 

to say that’s why I’m reading the English-Tagalog dictionary hoping that I can 

make at least a Sonnet or a 14 lines poem about I have no clue. I can make a 

narrative poem with this story. I printed the how to make a poetry and 

embarrassed that I still don’t have any clue in writing a poetry. What I use is 

the Daily Reflection of different people in Living Faith, God gave me a gift 

breaking a Daily reflection into 4 stanzas or Quatrain in poetry then turn it 

into poetrysoup.com where I am a premium member 11 yrs ago when I only 

paid $150 because right now is 159. I don’t know what else to say. U know I 

didn’t get to speak earlier because I don’t know I’m shy. People that knew me 

from before knows  that I’m not shy. Maybe because of my disability I tend to 

mumble and scared because I don’t want to look stupid, u know this is not 

the real me and I don’t like it. I’m a person that some friends say that I have 

a thick face. I don’t know why I can’t work. It seems like I need to let out 

what I have to say this morning. God please help me, thanks.
