Bakit?

Minsan sa buhay hindi mo maintindihan Bakit may mga taong pilit kang tatapakan upang umangat? Bakit may mga taong hindi kailanman magiging masaya sa iyong tagumpay? Minsan hindi mo talaga maipaliwanag   Kung tutuusin nasa rurok ka na nang tagumpay Hindi naman kami balakid sa iyong pag-angat Bakit kailangan kami ay yurakan? Nagiging masaya ka… Continue reading Bakit?

No baby yet?

Overhearing a couple's conversation from the next table: Guy: So, how's your day? Lady: They knew it is our first wedding anniversary and they kept on bugging me why aren't we having a baby. Silence. It wasn't our conversation but I felt a pang of pain. It was also our fourth wedding anniversary and no… Continue reading No baby yet?

The Future is Female … Politicians

Too bad not all believe in the strength and capacity of women to LEAD.

Longreads

If anything good has come out of the lingering anguish over the results of the 2016 election, it’s more civic engagement in politics. People are turning out and voting in smaller local elections, and more women and young adults are running for office.

Teen Vogue’s excellent series “Running!” is covering this, reporting on non-politicians stepping up and getting involved in government to make a difference.

Lily Herman has a profile of 18-year-old Gabrielle Anzalone, who was inspired to run for Lindenhurst, New York’s Board of Education after her experience of almost being suspended for participating in the National School Walkout in March. She and her friends attended a Board of Education meeting to speak out about the injustice of their suspension.

Kung talagang mahal mo ako, magbago ka!

Walang malisya, walang libog (sorry for the term kung may mga batang nagbabasa nito at nagugulat sa mga words ko pero nagpapakahonest lang po ako), as in wala. Medyo mataray ako sa mga lalaki. Kilalang kilala ako ng pamilya ko at ng mga kaibigan ko pag dating sa mga lalaki. Akala mo kung sino kung umasta, hindi naman kagandahan at wala namang kaseksihan sa katawan. Hahahaha!

Pero aminado ako na di ako kagandahan at walang kaseksihan. Nope, di ako fishing o nagpapaka humble. Hindi talaga ako nasa level na ganun, yung pang cover girl na makikita mo sa mga magazines, aminado naman ako at tanggap…

Nasa Ulap

Kay sarap gumising tuwing umaga na mukha ng minamahal mo ang una mong makikita. Kay sarap din na alam mong may nagmamahal sa ‘yo, may handang umalalay, laging nasa tabi mo at ‘yung tipong may nag-aalala kapag masama ang pakiramdam mo. Kay sarap marinig ang mga katagang “Mahal Kita” lalo na kapag galing sa taong… Continue reading Nasa Ulap

Nakatingala sa Langit

Kanina pa ako nakatingala sa langit Ngunit nang tingnan ko ang orasan Wari’y di man lang gumalaw sa pagpihit Halos ako’y pagpawisan, Hindi malaman ang dapat maramdaman Alam kong ako’y nagkasala Sa iyo’y may hindi sinabi itong dila Ngunit sana ay iyong paniwalaan Wala kang dapat na paghinalaan Pag-ibig ko man ay hindi mo matanggap… Continue reading Nakatingala sa Langit
