Pandemic ka lang, I am a Filipino

  Nagsimula nang maglakbay ang katahimikan sa buong kapuluaan, nagbabantang sakit ay tutukan. Maging sa ilang sulok yaring bansa’y naapektuhan, lakas na nananamlay ng medisinang sandatahan. 

Mga matang nagmamasid, ang sakit na naglalakbay sa himpapawid. Ibayong pag-iingat ng mga kayumanggi sa digmaang paparating. Ngunit tila ang bato ay kayhirap durugin, mananatiling buo ilang bagyo man ang dumating.

Ganyan ko ilarawan ang mga Pilipino na sa kabila ng pandemyang unti-unting nangingibabaw sa bansang tirik na tirik ang pagtaas ng mga kaso ng lumalaganap na sakit, kayumangging tunay na nanatiling lumalaban sa along patuloy ang paghila ng mga buhay. Sa isang iglap ay magbabago ang lahat, mangangatok sa pinto ang abo ng bangkay, kung kayat hindi natitiyak bawat segundo ang kaligtasan sapagkat ang sakit ay walang pinipilang lugar sa lahat ng pagkakataon itoy nagbabantay.

Sa gitna ng mapanghamong mundo, sa ilalim ng bagong pamumuhay kung saan tayo ay nabubuhay sa higit na pagdami ng mga peligrong dumarating. Tila hindi na umiiral ang mundo, patuloy na lamang ang pagyuko at manatiling sanayin ang sarili sa ganitong sistema na katulad ng pandemyang lumalagananap ay higit na namumuhay ang tao sa takot at pag-aalala. Tunay na malaking pinsala ang nagagawa ng pandemyang ito sapagkat maging ang tao ay nagiging paralisado sa sitwasyong uni-unting humahatak ng kaluluwa hanggang sa lahat ay isa-isang babagsak ang mga luha, sa mga bangkay ng yaring sakit ay napinsla.

Subalit, ang pagtigil ng kanilang mundo ay siyang pag-iral ng aming paniniwala na darating din ang pagsikat ng araw, marami mang hadlang ay tuloy parin ang laban sapagkat kami ay Pilipino, tunay na lumalaban at nananatiling matatag at malakas sa panahon ng paghihirap dahil hindi na mawawala ang ngiti sa aming mga labi, iyan ang tunay na Pilipino na kahit ilang pagsubok man ang maging hadlang ay buhay parin ang pagkaka-isa. Iba ang pinoy kapag nahihirapan, kahit isipin man nila tayo ay nasisiraan. Minsa’y magugulat ka, sapagkat sa libo-libong problmea ay nakuha parin nilang tumawa.

Nagsimula nang maglakbay ang katahimikan sa buong kapuluaan, nagbabantang sakit ay tutukan. Maging sa ilang sulok yaring bansa’y naapektuhan, lakas na nananamlay ng medisinang sandatahan.

The "A" I never forget and the "N" that will never end.

  To reminisce the old familiar place where the eyes meet the other one is something uncomfortable in the presence of your smell, twinkling eyes and the sweet voice of yours. It didn’t report on my always-curious head that to witness again your alluring face is within this occurrence which started my heart to beat faster than my normal rate. It ended a grief though that the sad little heart was in pieces of loneliness for countless times, so I didn’t picture, I didn’t expect. I didn’t imagine ‘coz I know you’re now living on my history, but it was suddenly changed when this day becomes the present. Trying to trace the memories on this island of a dismal love story ended on a wide melancholy falls falling on small circles of eyes is heart-breaking. I was this formidable force trying to attract your heed which made me repel your thoughts when suddenly words of goodbyes from your mouth were the ones to complete the pieces of realization in coming up with an unexpected ending conclud...

Request 1

I can't help seeing myself being situated in a constant labyrinth of doubt, fear, and, trauma. Does love this time is that sophisticated that I am not entitled to experience somehow the beguiling sensation of pure extremes of infatuation? I can no longer pull myself out every single day in high hopes that someday, someone will accept the nature I have and consider the pain I might get when they leave. I hope the past me will not fail to feed me experiences relevant and beneficial for my growth for my future self not to repeat this recklessly inevitable history of mine because the present me is suffering. My inner passion and space for love is nearly dying but I am still crossing my fingers believing that one right human can help me out escaping the bars and release the traumatic manacles I have. -anonymous

ENGINEERING SOCIALIZATION NIGHT 2022

Image
Settling towards the quietness and plain atmosphere of the hall, surrounded by a regality of men and women socializing around the four corners-only when the lights and musics set the mood made the night worth remembering with blast and sprinkle. Gathered together into this overwhelming night of pride and professionalism are the builders of the future transitioned from the orange touch of shirts to shining and shimmering but fierce gold and black conquering the night and stealing every glimpse and seconds. Mesmerized eyes don't deny the sparkle that made the whole body dropped in a state of shocked as it was worthy to give a chance looking the squinting gowns as if it was a gathering of handsome and pretty faces of successful people. Maybe a little success in each one of us has been celebrated, but to see these guys and friends is very new to me as it was my first time to be in this kind of event. An hour or maybe two had slightly subside the momentum as those ears couldn't hear...
