    Filipino Classic (1897)

     

    SA TABI NG DAGAT

    Ildefonso Santos

     

    Marahang-marahang

    manaog ka, Irog, at kata’y lalakad,

    maglulunoy katang

    payapang-payapa sa tabi ng dagat;

    di na kailangang

    sapnan pa ang paang binalat-sibuyas,

    ang daliring garing

    at sakong na wari’y kinuyom na rosas!

    Manunulay kata,

    habang maaga pa, sa isang pilapil

    na nalalatagan

    ng damong may luha ng mga bituin;

    patiyad na tayo

    ay maghahabulang simbilis ng hangin,

    nguni’t walang ingay,

    hangganq sa sumapit sa tiping buhangin...

    Pagdating sa tubig,

    mapapaurong kang parang nanginigmi,

    gaganyakin kata

    sa nangaroroong mga lamang-lati:

    doon ay may tahong,

    talaba’t halaang kabigha-bighani,

    hindi kaya natin

    mapuno ang buslo bago tumanghali?

    Pagdadapit-hapon

    kata’y magbabalik sa pinanggalingan,

    sugatan ang paa

    at sunog ang balat sa sikat ng araw...

    Talagang ganoon:

    Sa dagat man, irog, ng kaligayahan,

    lahat, pati puso

    ay naaagnas ding marahang-marahan...

    THE ROAD NOT TAKEN

    Robert Frost

     

    Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

    And sorry I could not travel both

    And be one traveler, long I stood

    And looked down one as far as I could

    To where it bent in the undergrowth;

    Then took the other, as just as fair

    And having perhaps the better claim,

    Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

    Though as for that, the passing there

    Had worn them really about the same,

     

    And both that morning equally lay

    In leaves no step had trodden black

    Oh, I kept the first for another day!

    Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

    I doubted if I should ever come back.

     

    I shall be telling this with a sigh

    Somewhere ages and ages hence:

    two roads diverged in a wood, and I --

    I took the one less traveled by,

    And that has made all the difference.

    Suggest A Good Read...

    Falling in Love with Someone When You Cannot...

    in Matters of the heart

    Posted · Edited by youknowwhat

    funny, but the first thing i do is pray, i pray for us, no matter how much he has hurt me, i pray that he'll be okay without me. I pray that i get over the situation soon.. i pray for my future hapiness. i try not to think about him. coz everytime i do, i cry.

     

    if i think about the bad things he's done to me, i feel more pain because i dont deserve whats happening to me.

    if i think about our good times together, i am just reminded of the great love i feel for him-- i tend to forgive prematurely because i cant bear the thought of losing him.

     

    as long as i know that he still loves me, it's impossible to let go... even if i have to forgive the same mistake gazillion times. :(

     

    but... if he tells me "i dont love you anymore and Im happier this way", thats the time i let go of the leash. you dont beg for love... especially for a lost love..

    Boracay

    Will go to Boracay with my family on June 17-19 (wed-fri). booked my ticket yesterday. Roundtrip fare via Cebu pacific is P1054, (i opted to go for the Go Light fare, meaning no checking-in of baggage). Im eyeing Microtel Inn and Suites at Diniwid Beach for our accomodation. Any FR on the place? I know it's beachfront but are the sands here as white and powdery as those you find in Station 1? Is the place far from D'mall and other cheap restaurants/eating places? I want to be as far as I can from party places because i want to relax.

     

    Thanks.

     

    @ microtel they charge $60/night (exclusive of 12% tax and 5% SC). I dont mind paying that much since i am entitled to a 30% discount on their published rates. what i really want to know is if the beach sand in front of the resort is good.
