Pagkakaibigan

Ang ating mga kaibigan ay lagi lamang nandiyaan at iyong maaasahan

Hindi mo na sila kailangan pang tawagan kung kailangan mo ng mahihingahan

Sila ay handa kang tulungan kahit saan at kahit hindi mo na sila sabihan

Sila 'rin ay laging nakasuporta at handa kang alalayan

Sila ay handa kang samahan sa iyong mga kabaliwan

Tatawanan sa tuwing ikaw ay may nagawang katangahan

Ngunit dadamayan ka sa tuwing ikaw ay masasaktan

At ipagtatanggol sa lahat ng iyong mga kalaban

Hindi na kailangan pang marami ang ating mga kaibigan

Mas importanteng alam mong sila ay totoo at may katapatan

Hindi 'rin importante kung ano ang kanilang katangian at kung ano ang kanilang kakayahan

Ang pinaka mahalaga ay may pagmamahalan at pagpapahalaga sa inyong pagkakaibigan

Landas na tinatahak

Dalawang libo at labing pitong kalye na ang nalampasan ng manlalakbay...
Bawat klaye niyang nalalampasn ay dagdag sa taon na siya ay nag simulang tumayo at maglakad patungo sa kanyang mga adhikain. Hindi naging ganoon kadali ang mga nakalipas na paglalakabay. May mga pagkakataon na kailangan niyang tiisin ang mga sugat bunga ng pakiki pag tunggali niya sa mga halimaw sa daan. Kapag ang mga sugat ay sapat ng naghilom ay mapapaso naman ito ng matinding init at kung minsan mababasa ng ulan. Kalaban ang mga halang ang bituka sa daan at ang panahon ay nanadya ang manlalakbay ay matapang na nilampasan ang mahabang mga kalye. Wala rin siyang tinag kahit na ang sarili nalang ang kaagapay. Sa pagpapahinga niya ay di inaasahan ang delubyo sa pang dalawang libo at labing pitong kalye. Mas matitibay na halimaw,na nag tatagalay ng sungay at kapangyarihan mula sa kadiliman. Sinusubukan nilang harangan and daanan ng manlalakbay. Buong lakas silang sinugod ng manlalabay tangan ang espada ng kagitingan habang baon ang determinasyon.  Sa pagpapatuloy ng pakiki baka ng manlalakbay ay sumabay pa ang pagsama ng panahon na siyang nagpahirap sa sitwsyon. Ngunit dahil buo ang loob ng manlalakbay ay sabay sabay niyang napataob ang mga kalaban as gitna g delubyo. Pagkatapos ng makasaysayang digmaan ay agad siyang nilapitan ng diwata ng ulan at agad na hinilom ang kanyang mga sugat nag turan ng "mahal ko kasamamo ako sa susunod pang milenyo".

Natitirang Piraso

Sa dagliang pagbigkas
Pagsuko'y iyong mababakas
Mga luhang walang takas
Mga ala alang lilipas

Sa pagdating ng isang dayo
Kay bilis ng iyong paglayo
Madali nga naman sayo
Dahil wala namang tayo

Hindi dapat ako nagtiwala
Maling sayo ay naniwala
Wala naman akong napala
Sa huli pa ay nabalewala

Lucifer

                God is up to something. I know it. He’s been contemplating for too long in his room, only brief intervals in between. He’s bored. He wants something new. He wants to have more than us, His angels. He wants… purpose.

                I run down the golden corridor of heaven. I am running late for the worship. God hates latecomers. I’ve heard he has something big to announce. I wonder what it is. I come to the venue. Stand in the front line. He appears from the clouds in that usual robe glittered with diamonds brilliantly bright.

                “Angels, I have decided to make a man. I will create him in my likeness. He will be as perfect as you all are, except he will dwell in Earth, a planet that I will also create to perfectly sustain his life.” That is His announcement. All of us are boosted with excitement upon hearing the news. We then sing praises to him, as always.

                I fall to bed. Everyone is off-duty, even God Himself, or is He? I say my prayers and prepare my dreams. Suddenly, someone begins to knock on my bedroom door. It is God. Before I get to open it, He slams it down. He enters and tells me, “You are going to give me purpose, Lucifer. You are going to envy me and thus create evil. Everyone is going to despise you and everyone is going to love me more thinking that they need me more than ever. You are the sacrificial lamb, but hey, I am God.” He goes out and shuts the door. Is it really possible? Can I really envy God for all his glorious creations? I don’t think so.

                Another day, this is the day man is going to come to life, and God has summoned us to behold. I’m feeling something in my heart. Something dark. I do not know what it is. Anyway, comes the time God creates His man. He always wants to prove he’s great, doesn’t He? Yes, I mean, He’s  God and all and we all know it, He doesn’t have to flaunt His highness and perfection. What does he desire? Endless gratitude? He has given us life but what life is life if spent exclusively for Him? It might as well be HIS life. Don’t we have freedom? Are all slaves like this? Well, sorry, God. I have grown tired of kissing your ass. Oh, is that a man? He’s wonderful. It would be a shame if someone took advantage of his vulnerability to temptation. Uhm…

One day the woman stood at the window overlooking the garden, and saw there a bed full of the finest rampion: the leaves looked so fresh and green that she longed to eat them. The desire grew day by day, and just because she knew she couldn't possibly get any, she pined away and became quite pale and wretched. Then her husband grew alarmed and said: “What ails you, dear wife?” she answered, “If I don’t get some rampion to eat out of the garden behind the house, I know I shall die. 

The man who loved her dearly, thought to himself, rather than let my wife die I will fetch her some rampion, no matter what the cost. So at dusk he climbed over the wall into the witch garden, and, hastily gathering a handful of rampion leaves, he returned with them to his wife. She made them into salad, which tasted good that her longing for the forbidden food was greater than ever. If she were to know her husband should climb over the garden wall again, and fetch her some more. So at dusk he went over the wall but when he reached the other side he drew back in terror, for there, standing before him, was the old witch. 

"How dare you!” she shrieked, “climb into my garden and steal my rampion like a common thief? You shall suffer for your foolhardiness.” 

“Oh!” He implored, “Forgive me but I was desperate. My wife saw your rampion from her window and longs for some so badly that she will surely die if she does not have some.

Then the witch grew calmer and said: as you say, you may take as much as rampion as you like, but one condition only -- that you give me the child your wife will shortly bring into the world” said the witch but she feels uncomfortable with her decision she just wanted to have a baby but he can’t. But the man agreed to what the witch asked. 

The child was born and the witch appeared, and gave it the name of Rapunzel. She is the most beautiful girl under the sun but when she was twelve years old the witch shut her up in a tower without a stair or a door, for the reason that witch didn’t want Rapunzel leave her and find her true parents, she didn’t want to be alone again.

But after a year a prince came into the woods and passed by the tower he heard Rapunzel singing so sweetly. Everything changed so the witch decided to cut the hair of Rapunzel because she thinks that she deceived him while she was gone and cried harder. The prince came back after a year and saved Rapunzel. The witch's left alone in a desert and guilty about what she done and promise her that she will not do the same again and change herself as a good grandmother in town.

Ang Inahing Manok na Mapagmahal

One morning, I, together with my sibling, woke up without our mother hen. I think she left because she's searching food for us. And I also think that she is in the river, where in there were a lot of worms which is our food. We decided to play in the backyard while waiting for our mother to come.

When she came, we were all confuse when we saw the fear that was written all over her face. What did happen earlier? I just asked myself.

"I nearly eat by the lizard. " Our mother hen, exclaim. So, aside from Hawk and Crow, we should also be careful to the Lizard.

"Why are you scared from Lizard?" I ask. "Its because, Berto the Lizard killed your father. Your father is brave and he was the leader of all the chicken here in our place." she replied. "So, all of you should be careful." she added.

One afternoon, we asked our mother to go in the river and she happily bring us there. When we get in the river, my siblings and I were so happy to see that there were a lot of worms to eat. We really do enjoy eating worms, I am sure that we will be full after this.

Because of our happiness we didn't realize that the Lizard is ready to attack us but our mother hen is fast. Using her beak and sharpen nails she started to attack the lizard. And I think that because the lizard is now injured he don't have a choice but to run.

In what we have seen, I have realized now, that our mother loves us so much and she will do everything just for the sake of us. And I now realize how lucky I am to have a mother like her.

"Muntik na akong makain ng Bayawak, " balita niya. Takang-taka ang mga sisiw sa nakitang takot ng ina. 

Nalaman nilang bukod kay Lawin at kay Uwak ay may bayawak pa silanh dapat ingatan.
