29

Life doesn't dawn to those who are 28 below.

But the moment you reach 29...

It's suddenly 6am and the day is about to begin

And life suddenly asks if you have eaten your fill.

Rain

There is a strong
evidence on the pavement
That it rained.

After a short visit to my sister
In the pizzaria
I went my way to
Play football

I had
hoped the field wasnt
At all drenched.

Para kay Ikaj

Berde ang iyong suot at
nakatali ang iyong buhok.

Isang gabi sa Singapura,
Sa labas ng istastyon ng tren.

Gatas ang kutis at sa iyong ngiti
Mayroong hibla ng tamis.

Umiinom tayo ng wine.
Tumatawa sa isang lamesa.

Habang pinakikita mo ang iyong mga
Paintings sa kaibigan ng kaibigan.

Natapos ang gabi at
Kasabay ng pagyapos
Mo sa akin.

Ay ang pagaalinlangan ko.

Maynila

ISa Maynila
Dumadaloy ang lakas
Ni inday sa bawat
Walis ting ting
Na itinataktak
Nya sa ding ding
Ng kulay madaling araw
Sa hongkong
Habang mahimbing
Na natutulog
Si ginging.

Sa Maynila
Mabilis lumipas
Ang mga araw nila
Miggy at marga habang
Nagsasalita ng
Mga ka conyohan
Sa opisina tuwing
Biyernes ay
Derecho sa hataw sa
Mga clubs
Hataw sa inuman
Hataw sa tugtog
Na titanium ni sia
At david guetta

Sa Maynila
walang nakakaramdam
Ng pagka miss sa
Maynila,
Kailangan tumira sa ibang
Bansa ng mahigit sa tatlong
Buwan kung gusto
Mong mamiss
Si inday, ang trapik,
Ang walang
Pagdadalawang isip
na tumagal sa opisina

Sa Maynila
Dumadaloy
Ang kasiguraduhan
Ng aking pagkatao
Ang nagpapa bili
Ng.mga pasalubong

Sa Maynila
Maraming walang hiyang
Nangungulimbat
Nagnanakaw ng pera ng bayan
Yung mga pinagpapawisan
Nila ninanakaw
Kinakamkam at ipinamumudmod
Sa mga anak

At ahil Maraming dakila
Dakilaan na tulad ko
Sa maynila ay hangang ngayon
...

Maraming gitnang pangalan ay baboy
Si bong baboy r.
Si j. Baboy n.
At si juan baboy e.

Nangugulangot nangangaban bayan
At ang mga mang mang ay nanatiling mang mang

Buwan

Ikaw ang pintog na buwan
Sa gabi ng aking buhay

At ang mga tala
Ay ang walang kupas
At nagnining ning mong
Mga mata

At matatagpuan noon
Sa gitna ng aking pisngi
At iyong balikat

ang kahulugan
Ng aking buhay.

Life f*cks us all

All of us are indeed are either partially fckd
Or fully fckd by life no less,

Regardless what position you are in

Regardless of age gender it doesn't discriminate nor favour anyone at all.

It hides to some people the joys of struggle

It hides to some the comfort of health

It shows riches to a few but peace of mind to fewer. ...

Time to kill

So I have time,

While waiting for you,

I have these words to spill,

From my mind's mind

And my inner inner self,

I have some thoughts to share,

Some load to bear,

A little anxiety

And insecurity,

A little hope and some

Youth to cope,

And a tiny fact

That remains largely true,

I will always be blue,

While waiting for you.

Transactional

It all starts from saying "Hi" or "Hey"
Which ever is more appealing.

Then ask for a face photo,
But remember to send yours first.

Then ask if a place is available,
Make sure it's not too far

Then just to make sure,
ask for another photo.

You will need the phone number too
In order for you to meet before

The transaction

Remember to bathe and gargle.

Saliva exchange is eminent.

Then exchange breaths and skins.

And desires. Remember not to get emotional.

Because it all ends in goodbyes.

So many thoughts this week

Almost 29. 

Thoughts on being 28. I have come here to this age, where my reality has not really settled  into my mind. There are many clouds still in my mind it seems, because of my current physical state. And the most frightening thing however, is realizing that I have not yet dreamed the person who I am to become. And it is not the limitations that I am currently facing that is taxing, but the fury of my soul, and the burning of my mind.

I have taken a look at my life again, and I know I must soon get out of this path. Towards this vision. Into fighting for the ideas that I believe in. Into the dreams I am now realizing. That a person will never truly achieve freedom from his humanity until he has been educated on what this exactly means. What does it mean to be human it is the exercise of consciously knowing oneself. 

Despite the restrain from the responsibilities that I carry, I will try to move towards attaining this goal of liberating my country first, from corruption. 

It is 2013, and it seems the people of the world have yet to be free. To have the freedom to choose what they believe in and that our sins are only true when we cast our dreams aside. 

I must turn towards writing more.

Discrimination.

My fears have been mounting and

've been a project manager fr

Love

It is only love when it is a conscious act. 

it is not,

without this certain human awareness 

to chose, love. 

Despite the pain and the unwillingness of the self. 

And it is in this daily struggle can 

we only exercise our freedom.

And the only men who can truly be free

our experience freedom

are those who can love. 

and the definition of this kind of love 

is only known to men who

has been educated enough

to know what it is not. 

Love doesn't 

discriminate

Perhaps the self is only willing when it has 

seen and overcame suffering. 

Lesser FB message

Anything we perceive as less
is so easily dismissed.

I feel pain
when this poetic friend
so easily discarded
me and never
replied to my FB message. 

While Swimming

All you know is a shadow
swimming in a pool 
where light is bent
and shattered
I am swimming in my dreams
and hopes
and with every breath 
I take I see the 
endless universe submerged
in a vision.
