Carol Kings
“Kay sigla ng gabi,
ang lahat ay kay saya.
Nagluto ang Ate
ng manok na tinola.
Sa bahay ng Kuya
ay mayroong litsunan pa.
Ang bawat tahanan,
may handang iba’t iba.”
The carolers at our neighborhood are usually little children rattling flattened bottle caps on a string of wire. Their pre-pubescent voices feel like barbed wire digging into flesh. The tone of the song is forgotten, replaced by a memorized sing-song monotone pitched at a volume that is meant to annoy, not to entertain. In our street, you pay carolers to shut up.

1. Ensure that any close-up work or computer screen is not too close to your eyes. As a general rule, view material from as great a distance as possible, provided it can still be read easily.
