Call Me Xander

Lord I pray for my friend Whose youthful years were covered by circumstances Lord I lift my friend up to you Who believe that his ways are true But you know where it lead if my friend will continue Lord I lift my friend up to you Whose eyes were clouded by the things the world offers The only bestfriend that I have in this world You know what to do with his life oh Lord I lift my friend up to you Whose faith is shadowed by ungodliness Whose beauty is covered by ugliness You know what to do So please save him from falling to the one we call you-know-who.

"Hon, anong problema bakit ang tahimik mo simula nung umalis tayo sa bahay ng Mama mo?" Tanong ni Regan habang nagmamaniho pauwi. Tinitigan lang ni Joyce ang asawa ng ilang sigundo at bumalik ang tingin nito sa daan habang bakas parin ang pagkainis nito sa asawa. "Hon, sumagot ka naman. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang ginawa ko para di mo ako kausapin".  Tanong nito ulit sa asawa. Muling tumitig si Joyce sa asawa. Sa pagkakataong ito ay bakas na sa kanyang mukha ang pagkapikon sa asawa. Ilang oras pa ang lumipas ay hindi parin nagsasalita si Joyce. Pagdating sa bahay habang nasa hagdanan paakyat sa kanilang apartment ay muling nagtanong si Ryan sa asawa kung ano ang dahilan at bakit parang ayaw siyang kausapin ng asawa. "Baby, ano ba ginawa ko sayo at ayaw mo akong kausapin. Simula nung umalis tayo sa bahay ng Mama moay parang iritang irita ka na sa akin. Ano ba ginawa ko at nasabi ko at nagkakaganyan ka?"  May kasamang inis na sa...

I was in the office busy doing my daily routine when a blogger friend of mine sent me a message telling me that my post "Return to Sender: Fierce Mistress" was featured in Kulitis, The Podcast.   At first, I was clueless about it since I havent been blogging for a week maybe.

Inimbitahan ni Adonis ang kanyang ina sa kanyang apartment for a dinner. Habang nasa hapag kainan ay hindi maalis ang tingin ng ina sa roomate ni Adonis na si Angelo. May kunting pagdududa ang ina sa totoong relasyon ng dalawa. Naniniwala ang kanyang ina na mahigit pa sa isang roomate ang turingan ng dalawa. Buong magdamag na binantayan ng ina ang bawat usapan at galaw ng dalawa. Malakas ang kutob ng ina na may ugnayan nga sila. Napansin ni Adonis ang pagdududa ng ina kaya't inunahan na niya ito. "Alam ko ang nasa isip mo. Pero sinisigurado ko na walang namamagitan sa aming dalawa ni Angelo". Pag amin nito sa Ina. "Ok. Sabi mo eh. Wala naman sa akin yun". Sagot ng Ina. Makalipas ang ilang linggo ay lumapit si Angelo kay Adonis at sinabing, "Adonis, simula nung bumisita ang Nanay mo dito sa apartment ay may napansin akong nawawala ang gunting natin. Kanina ko pa hinahanap pero di ko makita. Hindi naman sa nambibintang...

Hiram Kay Kuya Google I called my Mom the other day telling her that I will be going home this coming October 21st for a very short vacation with my office mates. We had a very short conversation that leads me to think about my future. After I told her about my unplanned vacation, we then have these conversation below.  She asked... "Kamusta ka na? Ano na balita sayo? May girlfriend ka na ba dyan or kasama sa buhay?" Being away from my family for almost 6 years now probably makes my Mom wonder If I am already committed with someone. I am not that open to my parents when it comes to relationships. With her question I replied with a laugh... Then he continued by asking me... "Wala ka pa rin bang girlfriend? Kahit fling wala? Mag fling ka naman". With those words coming from my Mom, my laugh becomes louder than the first. I then told her. "Importante pa ba yun? Masaya pa naman ako kahit single ako eh. Saka ko na siguro iisi...

I cannot imagine that I'll cry again watching a movie top billed by an animal. As far as I can remember the last time I cried over a movie was when I watched the movies like Free Willy, Homeward Bound and Hachiko. I thought the movie is just all about the Dolphin who fight friendship with a human being. But beyond that I learned something about it. I cried, I think 3 times, watching the movie. This is not a spoiler, by the way. I dont want to tell about the details of the movie but I just want to share what I've learned from it. Whatever you are going through, its not yet the end. There is still hope. Even if your lack something, like disabilities never make it a reason not to be happy with life. There are so many things you can do and make a difference. Family is Forever. It doesn't matter where you're coming from, what's important is where you're leading your life. "In this changing world, it's harder than ever to find something extraord...

Bakit nga ba masarap ang bawal?  Bakit nga ba karamihan sa atin ay nais tangkain na gawin ang bawal? Bakit nga ba pinagbabawal ang isang bagay kung ito ay masarap? Bakit? Bakit? Bakit nga ba ako nagtatanong patungkol sa bawal? Bakit, bawal bang maisipan ko at mapagtripan ang isulat tungkol sa mga bawal? Hindi naman bawal eh, kaya isusulat ko. Marami sa atin ang nakagawa na ng isang ipinagbabawal na bagay. Aminin man natin o hindi pero halos lahat ata tayo ay nakagawa na ng isang makasalanan bagay. Hindi man ito aktwal o pisikal na nakikita ngunit maaring sa isipan natin ay nakagawa na tayo ng bawal. Naisip ko kasi na bakit ang mga may asawa na ay umaabot pa sa pangangaliwa na alam naman nating lahat na bawal yun sa mata ng Diyos.  Marami ang napariwara dahil sa ang iba ay naingganyo na gawin ang bawal. Maraming pamilya ang nasira dahil sa bawal. May mga kabatang naulol dahil sa bawal, mga buhay na nakitil dahil sa bawal. Maraming bawal na nakakasama sa atin k...
