Tuliro

August 8, 2007

Sarong bangui (isang gabi), bago ako natulog naitanong ko sa Papa ko “Ba’t magkaiba ang salita nyo ni Mama tapos kami nila Kuya at Ate iba din?”

Sabi niya “Ewan ko, ang dami mong tanong. Matulog ka na, may school ka pa bukas“.

Kinabukasan, nakalimutan ko na itanong uli at hindi na rin naalala ng aking mahal na Tatay. Hanggang ngayon, twenty years na ang nakalipas nang itinanong ko yun, hindi ko pa rin alam ang sagot.

Lumaki ako sa probinsya ng Naga kung saan ang aming salita ay Bikol Naga. Ang Papa ko ay galing sa probinsya ng Partido at ang Mama ko naman ay Albay. Dati rati, akala ko isang dialect lang ang Bikol ngunit ito pala’y nahahati pa rin sa maraming uri. May Bikol Naga, Bikol Partido, Bikol Calabanga, etc.

Ang weird, sabi ko kay Papa.

Ba’t magkaiba pa ang salita niyo samantalang ang layo lang naman ng Partido sa Albay ay parang Sucat to Malabon (traffic included)?. Eh, bakit sa Maynila - iisa lang ang salita (Tagalog)? Tapos tayo maliit na nga lang na probinsya, iba-iba pa ang dialect.

Ewan ko nga, ika ni Papa, Ang dami mong tanong.

For the Love of Wisdom

August 7, 2007

The effects of Philosophy. Tsk.Too much rationalizing. Hehe.

I can’t help but purge my brain for something insightful. That’s what I usually do when I have nothing else to do. I think.

And with those thinking sessions, I came up with something worth reflecting to. For me.

Love is a choice. It is, primarily and basically, a choice. It is you who decides whether to love or not. You can fall in love with anybody. Falling in love is different to love itself. Everyone has a notion of love. Some people may categorize love as an inexplainable emotion felt with someone. The way their hearts skip a beat, or when they feel that “somebody takes their breath away”. If someone satisfies your idea of love, you may have fallen in love with that person. But then again, there is a nuance to the situation. Falling in love becomes a myth in search for true love.

Huwag mo nang itanong

August 7, 2007

Last week pumunta ako sa office ng kaibigan kong si Derrick upang i-discuss ang maiksing project na gagawin ko para sa NGO na pinagta-trabahuhan niya dito sa Phnom Penh. He shares his room with three other people: 2 Cambodians and a Caucasian lady who sounded American. I sat by his desk, poring over some documents, brainstorming and drawing out plans on how the tasks should be done to ensure efficiency and effectiveness. Yung Amerikana was talking to someone on the telephone beside us, and napansin ko na patingin-tingin siya sa amin habang nakikipag-usap sa telepono. When Derrick saw that she had finished her call he introduced me to her.

‘That was remarkable’, sabi niya. Una hindi namin naintindihan ni Derrick kung bakit sinabi niya yun. ‘I have never heard a conversation that seamlessly blended two languages. My friends have told me about it but I’ve never heard it up close. It’s amazing.’

Yun pala yun. She meant our Taglish (Tagalog and English) conversation. We explained to her na sa Pilipinas, ganoon makipag-usap ang maraming tao for many years na. There are many other languages in the Philippines but Tagalog (or Filipino) and English were the languages that were taught in school so most people can speak it. Derrick added that this is easier for him because his mother tongue is not Tagalog but Waray, one of the many Philippine languages.
