Iwasang tumakbo baka mapaisip ka.

Iwasang tumakbo baka mapaisip ka.

may isang superhero na lumilipad sa kalawakan… ngunit hindi ito ang aking nais iparating.

Umaga na naman, nagsisitayuan na ang mga taong may kanya-kanyang buhay. Nandiyan ang mga negosyanteng naka amerikano at nanjan naman yung mga nagtitinda sa palengke. Mga estudyanteng kakaligo at ngumunguya pang palabas ng kani-kanilang bahay at mga estudyanteng gusot pa ang buhok at damit halatang kagigising lamang. Mga gurong naka-abang na sa gilid ng kalsada para pumasok at manira ng araw ng mga estudyanteng naglalaway pa sa kanilang mga mesa. Mga magtataho na halos maputol na ang ugat sa leeg makapagbenta lamang, mga asong nagsisitahulan tila may mangyayaring di maganda sa paligid. Mga magbabalot na nagpapainit na ng tubig na pagpapakuluan ng kanilang ibebenta sa buong araw.

Ganyan ang simula ng aking buhay araw-araw. Kailangang i-charge ang cellphone para hindi ma-lowbat sa school.  Kadalasang, 8-9 ang pagtayo ko sa kama, minsan pa nga ay makakatulog ako ulit dahil sa sarap ng paghiga. Hindi na ako nag-aamusal dahil kapag ginawa ko pa yan, naku mahuhuli na ako sa klase ni Ma’am D. Kailangang magmadali sa paliligo ngunit ‘di kokayang madaliin sapagkat may mga ritwal akong ginagawa (hahaha). Normal lang sa mga estudyanteng tulad ko sa college ang maranasang mahuli sa klase o sa kagandahang palad ay ang mag-absent (sa ibang mga pagkakataon). MAtapos maligo ay kailangang kasing bilis ka ni ’superman’ sa pagpapalit. Madalas akong dumaan sa “Mercury drugstore” bumibili ng ‘wilkins’ , masarap kasi ang tubig na ‘yan. Pakiramdam ko kapag umiinom ako ng tubig na ‘yan eh lumalakas ang buong katawan ko. Hindi naman tungkol sa tubig ang punto ko rito, tungkol sa buhay ko, mo, nating lahat dito sa mundong ibabaw at (isali na natin ang mga nasa underworld).

I won’t let you get the best in us.

It was an ordinary day and the sun is shining brightly. I went upstairs to retire with yentot and pet2x in bed, to watch tv maybe or to just make kulit with eachother. But as I step on the last stair and looked out the window, an angry tornado was fast approaching our home. I shouted at them to go out...

“You hit me, I’ll hit you ten times over”, aka, Bakit Masarap Gumanti

Sabi nila, kapag sinampal ka sa isang pisngi, ibigay mo pa yung isa pang pisngi.

Sabi nila, kapag binato ka ng bato, batuhin mo ng tinapay.

Pero sabi ko, pag binuhusan ka ng tubig, buhusan mo rin ng tubig. Pero yung kumukulo.

Minsan talaga masarap gumanti, ano? Yung iparamdam mo sa tao kung ano yung ginagawa nila sa iyo.

Halimbawa, sinampal ka. Kumulo ng dugo mo, nagdilim ang paningin mo, at nagbaga ang dibdib mo. Sinampal mo ng mas malakas ang mahadera. Umamin ka. Iba yung amats na naramdaman mo nung humataw yung palad mo sa pisngi ng kasampalan mo, diba? Mahapdi, oo, pero may halong high. Kasabay ng paghampas mo ay ang paglukso ng puso mo na syang magdadala ng agos ng dugo sa utak mong nawawalan na ng tamang ulirat. Adrenaline rush.

Relationship Tip: The Value of Listening

Way back when I was taking my masters, I remember my first assignment in marital counseling class. After the wife rattled on about her complaints against her husband for about 10 minutes, I asked the husband to paraphrase what his wife said. The husband was taken aback and said something that was quite far from what the wife meant, which of course, made the wife more furious. I then asked the wife to repeat what she said, and this time, the husband really listened. He then made an accurate paraphrase, to which the wife remarked, “Now, at last, he understands!”

When we think of communication, we often think of ways we can express ourselves better … the right words to say, our facial expressions, tone of voice, etc. What we often forget is that communication is a two-way process, and 50% of it involves listening to the other person.

Idea for a wedding present

One of my online friends is going to get married this summer, and she invited me to their wedding. I have been looking for something to give her as a gift that would last and meaningful, kind of like something that she can use and remember our friendship. When I went to Shoe Mart, there was a wide array...
