Calm Under the Waves - Maria Mena</div>
Alam mo, hindi ko talaga alam kung paano sisismulan 'to. Hindi ko alam kung anong sasabihin ko. There's really nothing much we can say to make things better, easier, more bearable. Pero siguro nga, we just need to be there for each other to make it through. At alam kong 'yun naman ang gusto mo, Besa. Sobrang mahal ka lang namin..na hindi ko pa totally matanggap 'yung nangyari. Parang panaginip lang kasi eh. Ang difference lang, when I woke up today, I knew everything that happened yesterday was real. Nandun kami, we gathered for you.
Umaga ko nabalitaan, first subject. All throughout the day, hindi ako makapaniwala. Sabi ko sa sarili ko, Hindi ako maniniwala hanggang hindi ko nakikita. At 'yun na nga, pagdating don, nakita kita. Malamang-lamang, totoo nga. Kinantahan ka pa namin. I didn't want the song to end kasi feeling ko pagkatapos ng song, tapos na rin ang pagkumpas ng mga kamay mo. Worse, naiisip kong...ikaw dapat 'yung nasa harap namin at nagco-conduct. Pero hindi eh. Nasa harap ka namin dahil sa ibang rason.
Alam mo ba, medyo nawala ako sa sarili nung nalaman ko. Nagtext pass pa ako..which I don't do dahil kuripot ako. Pero para sa'yo, walang problema! Pero ang kaso, mali-mali 'yung spelling ko. Sabi ko sa kanila, "Guys, Nikki Besa passed away this morming." Tapos wrong grammar pa dun sa iba, "Besa passed this morning." Kulang na kulang. Parang kami ngayon, kulang na kulang kasi wala ka. Mamimiss ka talaga namin. Miss na miss ka na nga namin eh.
Nabasa mo na ba 'yung Para Kay B ni Ricky Lee? Wala lang, pano kung gumawa kaya kami ng libro para sayo...Para Kay B(esa). Iba ka eh. Pero sabi nga nila, we shouldn't feel bad because for sure, you're in a happy place. Happy ka nga ba dyan? May happy place nga ba? Gusto ko malaman. Besa, ikaw na ang official guardian angel ng IV-8 ah? Bawal tumanggi.
Kagabi, hindi ako makatulog. Hindi kasi talaga ako makapaniwala...hehe pang ilang beses ko na ba 'yun sinabi? Paulit-ulit ko 'yung sasabihin hanggang matanggap ko na. At alam ko, nandito kaming mga kaibigan mo, especially your family...andito kaming lahat para sa isa't isa. Alam naming ayaw mong malungkot kami kaya eto, tutulungan namin ang isa't isa na tanggapin ang nangyari.
Paggising ko naman, ikaw agad naisip ko. Ikaw unang-una kong binati, Good morning, Besa! Tapos wala na, naiyak na ko ulit. Akala ko naubos na luha ko kahapon eh. Pero ang dami pa pala. Tinawagan ko si Meg...ayun...miss ka na namin.
Pero kagabi nga pala, diba hindi ako makatulog? Ayun...nung pinatay ng mom ko 'yung ilaw, natakot ako nang slight. Kasi feeling ko andun ka sa labas ng bintana ko...nakangiti...kasi pinapasaya mo 'ko. Parang feeling ko gusto mong sabihin na 'wag na 'kong umiyak. At siguro 'yun gagawin mo araw-araw...icocomfort mo kami lahat.
Ngayon pinapanood ko videos natin nung song fest. Naghahanap ako ng pictures natin, ng pictures mo. Hindi ko mapigilang umiyak. Naalala ko 'yung wish ko kay God na sana matutunan kong mabuhay na parang walang bukas. Kasi ang bilis lang ng buhay. Ang bilis-bilis lang.
Eto...may kanta ako para sa'yo kaya lang medyo parang pang love song ata 'yung ibang lines...eh love ka naman namin so okay lang:
Calm Under The Waves
Maria Mena
I walk barefoot where the water drowns the sand
With you no longer here to hold my hand
I let go
I let go
The ocean makes my swelling heart feel small
With the sounds it makes you won't hear it if I call
I let go
I let go
There's a breeze in the air
There's a boat anrchored out here
There's a calm under the waves so I choose to sink
Your skin protected me from sunbeams
Your hands made sure I'd stay intact
I let go
I let go
You were always there to walk me home
With you not here, the streets I roam
I let go
I let go
There's a breeze in the air
There's a boat anrchored out here
There's a calm under the waves as I choose to sink
With your voice in my head
I would float here instead
But there's a calm under the waves
So I choose to sink
I'm tired now
I'll see you when I wake up
I've heard it's pretty where you are
I let go
I let go
There's a breeze. |

Sabi nga nila, "Hindi ka bibigyan ng challenge na 'di mo kayang gawin."
Siguro nga. Hindi naman sinabing kailangan mong gawin with flying colors diba?
Pffft.
Ganito na lang parati. Ba't kaya ganun? Sumpa yata ito. O karma? Haha.

| Sembreyk Forever |
[Jan. 3rd, 2009|01:30 pm] |
Alam ko medyo late na para matuwa sa existence ng sem break. Wala lang. Kapag nakatikim ka pala ng sem break, hihilingin mong sem break na lang forever. Sagana pala kasi sa sem break pag college na. Maliban na lang kung tiga DLSU ka. Hmm..
Iniisip ko ngayong palapit na ang "classes resume," sana dumating na ang summer. Tapos, second year college, sem break, Christmas break, classes resume, summer, third year college, sem break, Christmas break, classes resume, summer, fourth year college, sem break, Christmas break, classes resume, graduation, summer bumming....and the real future begins.
Pero kasi...napagtanto kong hindi ganun ang mangyayari sa buhay ko kung sakaling magtugma ang nais kong mangyari sa nakatakda. Hmmm...
Classes resume na. Malapit na ang summer. Kailangan ko nang kumilos. Malalim na pag-iisip. Masinsinang pag-uusap. Palakasan ng loob. Pagalingan sa pagdiskarte. WOOH! YEAR 2009, BRING IT ON!

| this Valley Golf mess (a repost) |
[Dec. 29th, 2008|10:30 pm] |
|
Rock Ed Radio presents a venue for many to be heard. There are always two or more sides to a story and most often we will not hear them all. This gig is not designed to resolve anything because, unfortunately, we accept that resolving this mess is not our call.
This is neither a venue to diss, berate, scare, intimidate, cheer or boo anyone for the sake of noise.
This gig is designed for everyone to talk to each other and hear opinions out. It is also a Sociological discussion on our behaviour as people with or without power, with or without fear, with or without arms, with or without a golf membership. But let's talk anyway.
We will not exactly talk about them, we will talk about US.
The panel is still being invited, but the participants (you) are definitely in. All in. Everyone invited, everyone welcome.
Rock Ed Radio will moderate the discussion, setting the ground rules for decency, politeness, and peeing before debating. Let's calmly, urgently, rabidly, intelligently, passionately discuss this situation of love and hate, war and peace. Whether you think this is an isolated case or a symptom of a bigger societal ill, come anyway and state your peaceful piece on the microphone this Friday.
We are open to re-posting of this announcement. Invitations of speakers given limited times and proper order of timing. Kindly email radio@rockedphilippines.org in advance if you want to make sure you have some time to be heard.
Come on Friday, limited seating, infinite standing.
A karaoke machine will be on standby in case we're done early. Singing of "My Way" is not allowed. If the invited bands come to play, we will make them play.
Violence, peace, power, apathy, golf etiquette, retaliation, cursing, bodyguards, crying, indignation, class-acts, decisions, blogging, reactions, sanctions, suggestions, the Philippine courts, Mindanao, golf club security measures and everything else.
Let's talk about ourselves, shall we?

| Isang Halaw |
[Dec. 14th, 2008|01:13 am] |
Me quota ang pag-ibig. Sa bawat limang umiibig, isa lang ang magiging maligaya. Ang iba, iibig sa di sila iniibig. O iibig nang di natututo. O iibig sa wala. O di iibig kailanman.
Ang iba'y iibig sa maling panahon, umibig noong 1980s, nakipagmartsa sa mga aktibista, pero ang taong nakatakda para sa kanya ay nabuhay noon pang 1930s, isang rebelde laban sa mga Amerikano, matagal nang namatay. Kaya she keeps falling in love sa mga lalaking mas matatanda, hinahanap sa kanila ang di mahanap na wala, hindi mapagtagpo ang kahapon at kasalukuyan.
May mga pusong pinaglalaruan. Nasa parehong building ng call center but they will never realize that they are on the same floor. Maski parang laging may strange force na humihila sa kanila para tumingin sa kabila ng building. Kailan man ay di sila magtatagpo. Tanungin man siya ng boyfriend niya kung ano iyong lagi niyang tinitingnan sa kabila ay di niya masasagot. At kailanman ay di na niya malalaman dahil eventually ang lalaki ay lilipat sa ibang lugar, at siya, hanggang sa mamatay, di na niya malalaman kung sino nga ba iyong nasa kabila.
Merong pinalad na nagkakilala, nagkaibigan, at nagsama. Pero sa di malamang dahilan ay iniwan ng babae ang lalaki. Mabubuhay ang lalaki sa walang hanggang paghahanap. Mari-realize niya na ang pag-ibig ay laging paghahanap. Pero hindi niya kailanman mahahanap ang babae dahil ang totoong hindi niya mahanap ay ang kanyang sarili.
Merong away nang away kapag magkasama pero hindi naman makaya ang magkahiwalay. Merong nagmamahal lamang kapag nananakit. Merong relihiyon ang humaharang, o katayuan sa buhay, o mga magulang. Merong sila mismo ang gumagawa ng harang.
Merong umiibig na habang nagtatagal ay lalong nawawalan ng IQ. Merong pag umiibig ay napupundi ang 4 out of 5 senses, touch lang ang natitira. Merong ang tingin sa pag-ibig ay tali. Merong di makahakbang dahil sa pag-ibig, at meron namang nakakalipad. Merong ang tingin sa pag-ibig ay hapunang walang sawsawan. Merong pag umiibig ay nahaharap sa salamin, sarili ang sinasamba. Merong ang tingin sa pag-ibig ay parusa.
Ang iba'y iibig sa mga hayop, dahil noong unang panahon ay mga hayop sila. Ang iba'y iibig sa mga bahay, kinikilig kapag hinahaplos ang barandilya, nalilibugan sa mga kisame, pinagnanasaan ang sahig. Patuloy silang mananakit sa mga babaeng umiibig sa kanila dahil hindi nila kailanman malalaman na ang puso nila ay gawa sa kahoy.
Pero merong isa sa lima, harangan man ng kulog, ng mga ganid, ng lindol at ng teknolohiya, mahahanap niya ang kanyang mahal. Siya lang ang magiging maligaya.
--Para Kay B, nobela ni Ricky Lee

| DECEMBER 7: ROCK THE RILES 08 |
[Dec. 1st, 2008|07:55 am] |
|
SAVE THE DATE! REPOST! REPOST! REPOST! :D
Since 2005, Rock Ed Philippines has been ending its work-year with a mammoth celebration of Human Rights. We hold eight (8) simultaneous events in eight (8) train stations of the MRT line along historic EDSA. ROCK THE RILES is held every Sunday closest to International Human Rights Day. (Intl HR Day is celebrated every Dec 10)
Despite having no commercial funding this year, we all decided to push through with it anyway. Everyone involved in 'Rock the Riles 2008' pitched in to make it possible. Shelled out cash, lent some equipment, lent expertise, talent and time. This is funded by the generosity of many many people.
So we can squarely say: This one's ours.
This gathering is our rally of sorts, that one time we decide to physically come together and say the same thing at the same time. That one time we decide to pool our voices and say "No more excuses, Philippines."
Next Sunday, take the train.
Choose a station.
Watch a gig.
Take a stand.
Rock and roll.
Save the date: 7th of Dec, 2008. 2-7pm at any MRT station nearest you.
Confirmed artists: Radioactive Sago Project, Sugarfree, Up Dharma Down, Gasulina, Giniling Festival, Paramita, Ang Bandang Shirley, Sleepwalk Circus, Swissy, Juan Pablo Dream, Musical O, Outerhope, Urbandub, Intolerant, Taken by Cars, Typecast, Switch, Out of Body Special, Hilera, Nyctinasty, Salamin, Severo, Faspitch, Subscapular, Peryodiko, Cambio, Enemies of Saturn, Blue Jean Junkies, Analog, Agnes Ingarra, Analog, Pin-up Girls, Bagetsafonik, Roots of Nature, Chillitees, Mozzie, Lahi, Chicosci, Lowtechs, Playphonics, Nyco Maca, College Coed, Join the Club, The Youth, Jeepney Joyride, Sopiz, Zelle, Menaya, Ciudad, Head, Chardonnay, Miko Aguilar, Nityalila, Matilda, PhilTag, Nokia-Rock Ed ACTS Music Scholars from Childhope Asia and Virlanie Foundation, Tribu rap artists, Beware of Death Threat, Miscellaneous, Monique, Ill-J, Mike Swift, Pamilya Dimagiba, People's Future and more.
Details to follow.
For now, kindly help us spread the word that Rock the Riles 2008 is on.
Salamat,
Gang Badoy
Rock Ed Philippines
PS: In solidarity, Rock Ed Iloilo is staging their equivalent Riles gig on the same day, at the same time at the Shelsyo Diversion Road, Iloilo City. Check out poster on comments part.

| Understanding Better |
[Nov. 23rd, 2008|12:36 pm] |
Sometimes when it's your own voice you hear, you forget what others say. It's okay to analyze your own feelings but make sure you consider her feelings too. Because in the end, things can get a little less complicated and you realize how these things happened for a pretty good reason.

| This Thing |
[Nov. 10th, 2008|06:42 am] |
Well, this thing takes time
like growing a tree
like finishing a poem
like saving up for something.
Well, this thing
is called getting over
entails letting go
and many
many, many changes.
But this thing takes time
so let me figure things out
on my own.
In time,
I'll know what to do.

|
|
| I Figured |
[Nov. 6th, 2008|05:48 am] |
That I should be more than willing to sacrifice anything
That I should be more responsible for the things I do
That I should be more disciplined
to achieve this broken dream of mine.

| Waking Up With Waterworks |
[Nov. 5th, 2008|06:36 am] |
I'm not sure if I can take three more years of this.
Because every single day reminds me of what I used to believe in.
Every single day gives me the experience of hating myself for not doing what's right for me.
I need to talk to someone but maybe they've all gotten tired of what I have to say.
Or am I just being too hard on myself?
Whatever.
I need to make up my mind.

| Simple Lang Naman |
[Oct. 16th, 2008|01:03 pm] |
Alam mo kung bakit hindi ka pa rin bumibitiw?
Kasi umaasa ka pa rin.
Umaasa kang darating ang panahon na magkakatotoo ang pangarap mo.
Pero alam mo, minsan kasi mahirap lang talagang tanggapin
Na pwedeng hindi naman talaga para sa'yo ang pinapangarap mo.
Minsan, kung hindi para sa'yo, edi hindi para sa'yo.
Ganun lang ka-simple 'yun.
