eto na ang keso!

Hearts, plenty of hearts!!!

As promised, I'm sharing my cheesy verses as given to "ex" (now BH).
This one was written a few days after he proposed and of course your dear X said "I'll think about it." Kidding! I replied "yes" of course!(Yiheee...really cheesy!!!)

SOMEONE*

Somehow, there exists a

foretelling

That a being will be sent

to redeem

A heart that has

passed expiation

Long before reaching its

destination.

In solitude, I conversed

with myself

Soliloquy saved my

sanity

Benevolence from an

unknown providence

I really did not make

any sense.

Someone-left his spell

In my heart he has dwelt,

I fell,

          fell,

 now fallen,

Swiftly-encircling me so sudden.

Hay, I love the feeling of being in love (Ahem).

Uhm, can someone give me "Boy Bawang" please.Spicy ha! It's getting so "mais" already.  



Of course, sometimes there are "rainy days", and you feel like pulling out the toilet bowl and throwing it outside aimed at your neighbor's roof. But then, you have to be "cool" coz you don't want anyone pretending to be concerned about your mood, to spread any "kesong-binibini"(cheese-miss). I hide my unpleasant moods by writing. I recall this (dated 7-13-00 and still written on a piece of faded receipt):

THE IDIOSYNCRACIES

OF PATIENCE*

I grow in silence-

unnoticed and

abruptly,

While my deathbed

was adorned

with your pompous

rejoicing.

Shattered self-esteem

Confidence running out

. . . I grieve alone,

                                                                    silently,

Expectant of 

thy vain succor. . .

                                                                 Save . . . 

                                                                 Redeem. . .

                                                                 Let not my tears

                                                                         build a stream.

How to survive an "LQ"? Write and be quiet!!!

I have some funny pieces too, but will just post them some other time.

Ilocano 102 (Daniw)

Niriing nak ti tarakitik dagiti bulbulong

Ken ti nalamiis a pul-oy ti angin,

Kas niyebe a naiwaras iti tangatang,

Nga immapros ti napudot a rupak.

(Ginising ako ng tunog ng mga dahon

At malamig na simoy ng hangin

Animo’y niyebe na nakakalat sa kalangitan

Na humaplos sa mainit kong mukha.)

Urayenak dung-ngo ket inta imatangan,

Iti baro nga aldaw nga insagut ti Namarsua.

Wen, ukoden ta nga agpada iti naturog a lasag,

Ragsak nga naimpusuan iraman ta ti kararag.

(Hintayin mo ako irog at ating panoorin

Ang bagong araw na alay ng Tagalikha

Oo,sabay natin akayin ang natulog na kalamnan,

Kasiyahang mula sa puso,isali natin sa panalangin.)

-(September 5, 2011)

I have been called eccentric by my friends in college and post-school. I used to make poetry and most of my compositions were written on receipts, back pages of my books and notebooks. When I finished school, I gathered all the "surviving" pieces and retrieved only about 80%. I transferred them to a decent paper (in my handwriting). I scribble whenever I can. I am just surprised though that I compose faster when I'm bored with lectures and a way lot better when "in love". Yihaaa!

As a continuation of the Ilocano 101 (“Cracked” Course), above is a sample of a composition made just an hour ago, before I was interrupted by...secret! Translation provided. It’s supposed to be about waking up. Palibhasa puyat. So difficult to wake up on a Monday morning. That’s why I still feel sleepy until now.

Will post more tomorrow (in English of course) after choosing a "cheesier" one.

Abangan... ang kesooo!
