ANG PINAKATATAGONG LOVE LETTER

Once upon a summertime may isang love story na nagpakilig, pagpaluha at nagpasaya sayo. Oo, aminin mo na kahit na break-up pa rin ang ending, sumaya ka parin.




At nakamove on ka na... handa mo nang ilantad ang naramdaan mo noon nang walang ibig sabihin. Kumbaga work of art. Fiction. History. Tabi-tabi nalang sa nakakarelate. =)



1st Month Letter to You Know Who...

I'm not good with words. I suck at personal conversations. I find it hard to express myself.

Perhaps, this letter would tell you what I really feel about you and us...

These days, I've been crying a lot. When I try to figure out what brings the tears, it always leads to your love. I love you and I'm starting to believe that you do love me too. Do you?

After a month of being together with four times of going out, a number of calls and thousands of messages.. Can I now truly say that you do love me too?

Sorry for doubting your love 
____. But when I ask mysellf if your love is real this time, it always gives me a new question that gives even more hard to believe answers. Is it real? How would I know that it's real?

Our relationship began wrong. I know it's my fault for doing a lot of efforts to be closer to you. I never thought that it would lead to something like this. It was just pure friendship in the beginning. I wanted to comfort you, make you happy... listen to your problems and do things for you to make it lighter. Then, I started realizing that I don't want to be friends but more.

God knows how much it hurts when I push you to go back to her. My heart breaks each solid time you meet and I'm left hiding. It brings me to tears that I cannot ask you to choose me instead of her. And when you asked me to demand of leaving her, God knows how much I wanted to beg you to stay with me. But I never had the courage to tell you how I want things to be... just because I'm afraid. I'm afraid that you will do things just because I asked you to.

When you finally left her with your own will, it was one of the happiest days of my life since I've known you. I know it's wrong to be happy while others are suffering... But that, your action, just gave me hope. It brought me another chance to my life that someone could still love me... that I could be happy with someone too... that someone could take me as I am. Thank you.

As we go pass our first month together, I hope that we continue to love each other just the same. We have flaws. We often fight. Our relationship is not perfect but it's happy.

I'm happy to be with you and I hope to bring more happiness to your life.

Our relationship didn't began right. It's too wrong that others are hurting because of us. But let's make it right as we go along.

I've been honest that I have a lot of issues... questions and doubts. Let us hope and pray that these things clear up sooner.

I love you ____. It has been a long time since myt past relationship. In all of the relationships I had, I always give up.

When the time comes that I will give up on our relationship, do not let me. Stop me. Remind me of how long I have waited for someone like you to find me. Show me this letter of how our love begin and goes...

Say the things that you taught me... tell me again that I shouldn't be afraid to get hurt because when we love we get hurt and that makes us stronger.

Others will not see how beautiful we see our relationship. They wouldn't understand why we feel this way. They will judge us. But let's not allow that to destroy us.

The time will come that it will all be lighter and we will be accepted... Let's prove them that our love is real.

Thank you for everything 
____. I hope one day we can look back our hardships and laugh at it together.

I'm here for you. I love you. Don't be afraid to open things to me. You can tell me everything. Don't hesitate to ask for my help... I'm more willing to help back.

Happy 1st Monthsary Babe... I <3 U
Noon yon. I know how basura you are ngayon. =)

Tanong lang... paano ba sabihin ang word na basura na soshal? Joke! 

Love, now and always,
Mia

BOB ONG, Ang Buena Mano

Para hindi naman kagulat-gulat ang post ko, tungkol kay Bob Ong ang naisip kong unang Filipino post. Sino nga ba si Bob Ong? Paano ko siya nakilala? At kung paano ko nabasa ang mga aklat niya?




Nagsimula ang lahat sa ABNKKBSNPLAko?! 


Entrance exam noon ng UPCAT. Lahat kabado. Lahat may dalang Mongol pencil #2. Lahat may dalang folder, scratch paper, meryenda, bag, cellphone (yung mga rich kids lang pala, kasi hindi pa gaanong uso ang cellphone nung panahon na yon), pera, ID, at iba pa. Paanong nasali sa usapang UPCAT ang ABNKKBSNPLAko? Relax. Ganito kasi yun...
Alam naman nating lahat na mahaba ang UPCAT. Lahat siguro ng Pilipino gustong makapasok sa UP. Makapasok lang sa UP ay parang nanalo ka na sa lotto? Pwede ring hindi dahil sa hazing, rally, etc. Pero nasa UP ako ngayon. Wait, eto na, mahaba ang test sa UPCAT. Bawal kang lumabas ng room hanggang hindi tapos ang exam. Pwede kang kumain sa loob ng room. Bawal kang magsalita. Bawal kang tumingin sa gilid mo. Pwede kang magtanong sa proctor. Actually, pwede mo namang gawin kahit ano basta gagawin mo ito ng tahimik at wag kang lalabas. Hindi naman boring ang UPCAT test... napaka challenging nga at mahirap eh. Talagang susubukan nito hindi lang ang talino mo kundi pati ang pasensya. Sobrang hirap na sobrang tagal pa, lahat de-oras. So, habang naghihintay na matapos ang UPCAT test nakita ko ang isa sa mga seatmate ko na nagbabasa ng libro... Una akala ko module. Sabi ko, pwede pala yun. Pero sa pag sipat-sipat ko nabasa ko ang title ng libro, ABNKKBSNPLAko?!... ANO YON?


Anong klaseng libro yun? Bakit pwede yun basahin habang naghihintay sa susunod na exam? Tagalog kaya yun o English? Nung nakita ko ung title... ang nakita ko lang letra, hindi ang mga pantig nito. Naalala ko, sinulat ko pa un sa isa sa mga scratch papers ko para matandaan ko at ma-research. Pag-uwi ko nang bahay, tinipa ko agad ang mga letrang ito sa internet... at nalaman ko na libro pala ito ni Bob Ong. Bumili ako ng libro niya at binasa. Ang ganda. Nakakaaliw, nakakatuwa. Ito yun ka-level ng mga chick flick movies... ung pagkatapos mong basahin sasaya ka, makaka-relate ka, masasabi mong, "Oo nga! Tama siya!" Bawat salita ni Bob Ong pwede mong gawing Quotable Quotes. Aliw.


Hindi ko kilala nang personal si Bob Ong. Ang sabi dedicated daw ito sa mga BobOng Pinoy. Meron din kwento na pen name daw ito ng grupo ng mga manunulat. Pero ayon sa mga biographies...


Bob Ong or Roberto Ong is the pseudonym of a Filipino contemporary author known for using conversational Filipino to create humorous and reflective depictions of life as a Filipino. The six books he has published thus far have surpassed a quarter of a million copies. His published works include: 

  1. ABNKKBSNPLAko?! ( Aba nakakabasa na pala ako?!) (Wow, i can really read now?!), 
  2. Bakit Baliktad Magbasa ng Libro Ang Mga Pilipino? (Why do Filipinos read books in reverse?), 
  3. Ang Paboritong Libro ni Hudas (Judas' favorite book), 
  4. Alamat ng Gubat (Fable of the forest), 
  5. Stainless Longganisa (Stainless Chorizo), and 
  6. Macarthur. 
Sa anim na libro niya... pinaka pabortito ko yung Stainless Longganisa.


BOB ONG LOVE QUOTES (Oo, hindi ito mula sa ABNKKBSNPLAko.)
"Hindi lungkot o takot ang mahirap sa pag-iisa kundi ang pagtanggap na sa bilyon-bilyong tao sa mundo, wala man lang nakipaglaban upang makasama ka."
"Kung dalawa ang mahal mo, piliin mo yung pangalawa.. kasi, hindi ka naman magmamahal ng iba kung mahal mo talaga yung una. "
" Alam mo ba kung gaaNo kalayo ang Pagitan ng dalawang Tao pag nagtalikuran Sila??
- Kailangan mo libutin ang buong mundo para makaharap ulit ang TAONG TINALIKURAN MO."
"Ang tenga kapag pinagdikit korteng puso...
Extension ng puso ang tenga, kaya kapag marunog kang makinig, marunong kang magmahal.."
"Pag may mahal ka at ayaw sayo, hayaan mo. Malay mo sa mga susunod na araw ayaw mo na din sa kanya, naunahan ka lang."
“Kung hindi mo mahal and isang tao,
wag ka nang magpakita ng motibo para mahalin ka nya..”
"Hinahanap mo nga ba ako o ang kawalan ko?"
"Kung nagmahal ka ng taong di dapat at nasaktan ka, wag mong sisihin ang puso mo. Tumitibok lng yan para mag-supply ng dugo sa katawan mo. Ngayon, kung magaling ka sa anatomy at ang sisisihin mo naman ay ang hypothalamus mo na kumokontrol ng emotions mo, mali ka pa rin! Bakit? Utang na loob! Wag mong isisi sa body organs mo ang mga sama ng loob mo sa buhay! Tandaan mo: magiging masaya ka lang kung matututo kang tanggapin na hindi ang puso, utak, atay o bituka mo ang may kasalanan sa lahat ng nangyari sayo, kundi IKAW mismo!"
"Lahat naman ng tao sumeseryoso pagtinamaan ng pagmamahal. Yun nga lang, hindi lahat matibay para sa temptasyon."
"Kung maghihintay ka nang ng lalandi sayo, walang mangyayari sa buhay mo.. Dapat lumandi ka din.."
"Gamitin ang puso para alagaan ang taong malapit sayo. Gamitin ang utak para alagaan ang sarili mo."
"Huwag mong bitawan ang bagay na hindi mo kayang makitang hawakan ng iba."
"Huwag mong hawakan kung alam mong bibitawan mo lang."
"Hiwalayan na kung di ka na masaya. Walang gamot sa tanga kundi pagkukusa."
"Huwag na huwag ka hahawak kapag alam mong may hawak ka na."
"Parang elevator lang yan eh, bakit mo pagsisiksikan ung sarili mo kung walang pwesto para sayo. Eh meron naman hagdan, ayaw mo lang pansinin."
"Pag hindi ka mahal ng mahal mo wag ka magreklamo. Kasi may mga tao rin na di mo mahal pero mahal ka. Kaya quits lang."

Love, now and always,
Mia

ZUPERMIA.COM Welcomes Filipino (Tagalog) Content

When I started this blog I wanted it to be global that I focused on posting contents in English. I wanted every blog post to be easily read by everyone that's why I never (or seldom) post contents in language other than English.
I imagined this blog to be supported by people from other parts of the world and with very little readership in the Philippines. However, looking at my stats, I think I owe my Filipino readers most of my view counts. 


So to give back to them... Let's all welcome the Filipino (and Tagalog plus some beckimese) contents to my blog. From now on, I will be posting contents from my Mother Tongue. I'm so excited about this! 


Actually, I'm wishing for this day to come that I'll decide to strongly and confidently post contents in my first Language. Expect it to be in conversation forms: most of them funny, witty and sweet... anything that suits the PINOY taste.

Love, now and always,
Mia

DILAW

by Jamie Meneses

Masayang kulay ang dilaw
Matingkad, Mabuhay
Tinaling dilaw na pag-asa ni Noynoy
Mayroon parin kayang buhay?


Buhay ay ibinuwis ng kanyang ama
Laban sa ating mithing demokrasya
Ina'y tumayo't lumaban sa EDSA
Kalat na baya'y pinagkaisa


Tuwid na daan daw ay aabutin nya
Tila nanahimik kaparis ng wangwang sa kalsada
Anong tamis ng mga salita
kung ito'y wala naman sa gawa?


Ramdam daw nya ang ating sakit
Bawat sigaw, bawat hinagpis
Bawat isa ay diringgin 
Parang pangakong kakabit sa singsing


Galit sa pamalaang bulag at bingi
Ngayon, tayo kaya ay naririnig?
Namumunhi sa pamumunong manhid
Ngayon, daing parin tayo ng daing



Kailan kaya mararamdaman
katiting na gaan sa krus na pinapasan
Sabay dapat nating papasanin
Bakit ako lang ang may krus? Aking napansin

Umpisa palang ay nagsakripisyo na
Nanindigan sa presinto,
Pumila ng oras, at tiniis ang uhaw
Upang pangulong Noynoy ay iboto

Nasayang ba ang aking boto
Sa pangulong halip na tuwid na daan
ay tila mahal na daan na naman
ang tinatapakan ko?

Ang dilaw ba ay kulay na lamang 
at hindi simbolo para sa kanya?
Hindi na ba ito kulay ng pag-asa, 
suporta, at demokraysa?

Nasaan na ba ang sinambit na 
pagbabagong pangako nya? 
Tutarin pa kaya ito at bibigyan 
ng dilaw na sinag ang ating republika?

Ang dilaw ba na ito ay maninilaw 
at magiging mantsa nalang ng alaala
O ito ba ay mangingitim hanggang 
sa maging kalawang na?

Love, now and always,
Mia        

So Remember Me One Day as Kind

 When I die, I want people to remember me as kind. It hasn’t always been that way. Four years ago, I was a very different person, a wounded...
