Tula para sa Linggo ng Wika

Ang Laki Sa Layaw

Pag-ibig anaki'y aking nakilala
Di dapat palakihin ang bata sa saya
At sa katuwaan kapag namihasa Kung lumaki'y walang hihinting ginhawa.
Para ng halamang lumaki sa tubig
Daho'y nalalanta munting di madilig Ikinaluluoy ang sandaling init
Gayundin ang pusong sa tuwa'y maniig.
Ang laki sa layaw karaniwa'y hubad Sa bait at muni't sa hatol ay salat
Masaklap na bunga ng maling paglingap Habag ng magulang sa irog na anak.
Sa taguring bunso't likong pagmamahal
Ang isinasama ng bata'y nunukal
Ang iba'y marahil sa kapabayaan
Ng dapat magturong tamad na magulang.

* At bakit nga ba nag-i-inglis pa ang Nanay? hehe!

Time will tell

Once upon a time there was an island where all the feelings lived; happiness, sadness, knowledge, and all the others, including love.

One day it was announced to all of the feelings that the island was going to sink to the bottom of the ocean. So all the feelings prepared their boats to leave. Love was the only one that stayed. She wanted to preserve the island paradise until the last possible moment. When the island was almost totally under, Love decided it was time to leave. She began looking for someone to ask for help.

Just then Richness was passing by in a grand boat. Love asked, "Richness, Can I come with you on your boat?"
Richness answered, " I'm sorry, but there is a lot of silver and gold on my boat and there would be no room for you anywhere."
Then Love decided to ask Vanity for help who was passing in a beautiful vessel.
Love cried out, "Vanity, help me please."

"I can't help you", Vanity said, "You are all wet and will damage my beautiful boat."
Next, Love saw Sadness passing by.
Love said, "Sadness, please let me go with you."
Sadness answered, "Love, I'm sorry, but, I just need to be alone now."
Then, Love saw Happiness.

Love cried out, " Happiness, please take me with you."
But Happiness was so overjoyed that he didn't hear Love calling to him. Love began to cry.

Then, she heard a voice say, "Come Love, I will take you with me." It was an elder. Love felt so blessed and overjoyed that she forgot to ask the elder his name. When they arrived on land the elder went on his way. Love realized how much she owed the elder.

Love then found Knowledge and asked, "Who was it that helped me?"
"It was Time", Knowledge answered.
"But why did Time help me when no one else would?", Love asked.

Knowledge smiled and with deep wisdom and sincerity, answered,
"Because only Time is capable of understanding how great Love is."

Jhaz's time to shine

Kate Jhazreel



She's 8 and like a daughter to me too. And just like Keanna and even before my dawty, she aspired to be a model too. I brought her to Adtraxx for a file VTR where Keanna had her chance as well. She had a lot of audition and VTR calls from Adtraxx but it is either they have previous engagements on the same date the audition was set or the family is out of town. Her mom, Esmeeh (my cuz) kept asking me when will she be "casted" or featured in a mag too.. Well, I don't know...I told her to wait. HE knows when is the right time.

First time, first pic submitted, and she got included in Milestones section of Momstoday. And Esmeeh got so excited of the prizes..hehe! To find out, she will be passing some of the tokens to our nephew Vin Ethienne.
