Igpaw
POSTED AT 07:13 PM

nahalungkat ko sa files ng mga tula, di ko na matandaan kung saan at paano nabuo ito.

Igpaw

 

Dahil

ang lahat

sa paligid

ay palaisipan,

Humakbang ako

sa unang pansukat.

Nakatitig sa numerong

itinalaga.Hinahanap

ang isa sa dalawa.

Kinakalabit ang taling

nag-uugnay

sa dalawa,

isa.

 

Pigilin ang panlilinlang sa sarili, Saan ito patutungo kundi dito mismo,

Sa kinatatayuan ko; At paimbulog na susuong minsan,

Palagi na lamang magiging palaisipan ang ulan.

what i missed while i was away
POSTED AT 10:54 PM in Family

Pixie, our 3-year-old poodle, gave birth to three cute puppies last November 7.  The father is our Japanese Spitz, Kimimaru (or Kimi for short).  More pictures can be found here.  It seems only yesterday when they were still babies, and now they're making babies of their own.  LOL.

We haven't thought of names yet.  And just like before, we're going to name them based on their behavior or on their appearance when they're a month old.  Can't wait!

tranche 12...
POSTED AT 08:14 AM in Gatch and I, Work

...turned one last Wednesday.  Yey!

M2 will have an opening for 25 MNL Care reps by December and the team, or at least most of us, think it's a good idea to transfer.  Commonwealth is like two hours away from home, but if my teammates are moving then I'm coming with them.

Oh, before I forget... Congratulations to Gatch for getting promoted to Ops Desk!  Out of 21 hopefuls (almost all of them more tenured), he got picked.  I'm so proud of you!

For next week's Kris Kringle, we ought to give our babies something freaky.  Any ideas?

kung anu-ano
POSTED AT 06:55 PM

for the nth time, nagbabalak na naman akong magresign. Sumusuko na ako sa boss kong unreasonable. Di ko na masakyan mga moods niya. nakaka stress na nga ang mga bwakanginang mga taga BIR na yan, sumasabay pa siya. Saka parang gusto kong magconcentrate sa pagsusulat. Pero ayan parang naririnig kong dinadakdakan na ako ni ermats nang " paano ang mga babayarin mo, ang bahay, ang ilaw at kung anu-ano pa"

nahilingan ako ng ka-lirang si Betty Uy Regala na siyang managing editor ng CCP-Ani to perform sa launch ng libro. Hindi ko mahindian, kaya lang di ko alam kung anong gagawin ko bukod sa straight reading.

ipa-publish daw ng Ateneo-Heights ang tula kong "Kusilba", salamat Brandz sa paanyaya.

binabati ko si ka-lirang Nanoy sa pagla-launch niya ng librong pambata

Sa Reading at iba pa.
POSTED AT 06:17 PM

Sa salin ni Rio Alma ng Noli, na nagkaroon ng marathon reading noong weekend, mas naappreciate ko ang istorya sa loob ng libro. Noon kasing required itong pag aralan sa high school tila babasahin lamang ito dahil kailangan. SA pakikinig at pagbabasa na rin, mas masarap ngayon ang mga salita, mas madamdamin ang mga tagpo at mas nakakakiliti ang romansa nina Ibarra at Maria Clara.

Tinapik ako sa balikat ni Sir Rio nang malaman niyang magbabasa ako, at nakita ko naman ang tiim ng pakikinig niya sa akin noong toka ko na. Magkakasunod kami nina Lourd de Veyra, Michael coroza at Egay Samar. Nag stay pa ako hanggang 830 ng gabi dahil nalibang ako sa pakikinig. Napakinggan ko earlier sina Tin tin Bersola at Julius Babao sa kabanatang Suyuan Sa Asotea. Medyo nangingilid naman ang luha mata ni Roy Alavarez nang magbasa siya. Nakita ko doon ang ilang miyambro ng LIRA, at paalis na rin ako nang dumating ang grupo ng Pinoypoets.

Sagana naman sa kape at pagkain. Mga 10:30 na ako dumating ng bahay dahil sa ulan.

**nabwisit ako dahil binitin pa ang bagong matatanggal sa Survivor phils, sana si marlon na o si Rob.

*** umpisa na ng Fear Factor mamaya, hala alin kaya ang mas exciting panoorin.

****nagdadalawang isip ako kung magsusubmit ako ng requirments at entry sa isang workshop.

5th anniversary celebration
POSTED AT 06:54 AM in Gatch and I

Just got home from our 4-day Baguio getaway and I'm too damn tired to write about it now.  Before I go to bed, let me greet the love of my life...

Happy anniversary milabs! 
I love you sooo much!  

 

PS: On the way to Baguio, the original version of I Do (Cherish You) by Mark Wills played on the radio and I instantly fell in love with it.  I think I want that song on my wedding (which is still years from now though)

Currently listening to: Mark Wills - I Do (Cherish You)
