Lone Alcohol

Partying in the Philippines
As the sun sets, work is done. Resurrecting life of the night. People gathered. Socialize. Externalize.
I sat on a bar surrounded with people. People carrying different life situations; like backpacks hoisted on their shoulders.

Nightlife in the Philippines
I met you and you sat beside me. We shared experiences. We exchanged thoughts. We laughed. We had fun.

Nightlife in the Philippines
We had a conversation.
I offered a shot of warmth from the fiery tequila. Warmness traced as the alcohol flowed from our throat.

Nightlife in the Philippines
As the conversation continues... I discovered that you're currently experiencing a cold story of pain. Silence broke from the two of us. Rebuilding our thoughts.
A single tear suddenly dropped from your eye. I looked at you.
No words was spilled from my mouth to comfort you. But my presence is enough to mend you.
There was only one glass left and I gave it to you...

Nightlife in the Philippines

As you swallowed down to the last drop. Your vision changed. Blurred. Circling. Whirling.
Filling your world with delusions. Escaping reality.

Nightlife in the Philippines
Yes. Escaping reality. Trying to flee away from your cold story of pain through the use of lone alcohol. Heavenly isn't it? But it's only temporary.

Laruang Katutubo


Laruang Katutubo. Hindi katulad ng mga pangkaraniwang laruan na nagbibigay kaligayahan sa mga kabataan; ang laruang ito ay nagpapakita rin ng katangiang taglay nating mga Pilipino.  Para ito'y gamitin, kailangang hawakan ang tangkay nito at iikot ng dahan-dahan na parang bumubuo ng ipu-ipo. Sa pamamagitan nito, gagalaw ang mga kahoy na manok na nagmimistulang tumutuka ng kanilang hahainin. Sinisimbolo nito ang ating pagiging masipag, matiyaga at matulungin sa bawat kapwa. Ang sabay-sabay na pagtuka ng mga manok na ito ay nagpapakita ng pag-bayanihan nating mga Pilipino sa pagtaguyod na makalagpas sa mga unos na ating hinaharap.

Tunay na malikhain ang mga Pilipino. Maituturing nating isang kayamanan ang mga laruang ito, hindi dahil lamang sa bihira na natin itong makita sa siyudad, kundi dahil sa simbolong taglay ng ating pagiging isang Pilipino.
