Padayon Pilipinas!

by: kaye aquino

The internet is the dirtiest place I have ever dwelled upon. In this place, I am able to unlock the portal of the good and the bad events occurring not only in my own country, but in the whole world as well.

As we are all familiar with, the Quirino Grand Stand Hostage drama that happened last August 23, has been speckled all throughout the world and no single detail have been spared from various kinds of interpretation. We all know that different pictures have been posted via facebook, tumblr, twitter & other well-known sites and every photograph have been subjected to hate comments and remarks. People have posted too much status updates, jokes and opinions about the event which, in my own insight, worsened the scenario.

I wonder why I have seen some people (whether they are aware of it or not), carelessly broadcasted stuffs that aren’t really funny.

S.W.A.T.

Sobrang Wala Atang Training
Sugod! Wait! Atras! Tago!

I have seen pictures, degrading the pride of our own country. And with no respect, even the Filipino people make fun out of it.

I have seen statements of Filipinos who reject his own race, cursing his own nationality, when in fact, no matter what he does; he will remain having a blood of a Filipino forever.

I have seen some photographs of disrespect, with people who posed in front of the camera, treating the incident like a cute tourist attraction.

I may not be able to impart what I really feel about the tragedy, but all I know is that I feel ashamed of what a fellow Filipino did to innocent visitors of our country. The Philippines is renowned for having hospitable people, but now, it seems like hospitality was stained with a blood of disgrace and embarrassment. However, I don’t see it right to judge every people who practically did their best to fulfill their job, but weren’t able to do the best after all – the President, the policemen, the SWAT team, the media, and all other individuals who should have played a major role in this catastrophe.  For if I blame them, I blame myself too.

I am just one man, whether I am there during the incident or not, I know for sure that I, too, won’t foolishly go near the bus, bravely call Rolando Mendoza, point a gun right in his face, and shoot it, for hostaging the Chinese Nationals. Would you? The best thing I could do for now is shut my mouth, limit what I post in the internet, sieve every word I tell, so in the end, it wouldn’t cause another trouble that would aggravate my country’s pride even more.

My country has been situated in a spot of humiliation once again, but still, I never thought of being ashamed for being a Filipino. This is just one incident among all the worst incidents around the world. After all, the wrongdoing of one isn’t the wrong doing of all.

I sincerely feel sorry for all whose lives were slaughtered and endangered, and I feel sorry for the one who did this stupidity for he created a trouble in front of the world.

Padayon Pilipinas! Bumangon tayo!

Dear Self,


Please be reminded that you have to step your feet on these places & take a picture of the beautiful sceneries with your own camera before you die. You have to compile a scrapbook of all your photographs with all the poems and stories behind it. You have to... fulfill your greatest dreams and hopefully, you are with the person who'll help you have these dreams possible.


Love,
Me.

Oh yes I want to go to Macau, Venice, Paris, and Taiwan. I don't know why but I just wanted to see those places with my own eyes and capture everything I could see with my camera (I wish I have one LOL). I wanted to go to those places & write my wonderful experiences with my magic pen. Oh how I wish I could have things so easily. & one day... I could live through a life wherein what I wanted is what I have... without being deprived of it. Life, for now, is so iniquitous. I believe, one day, I will have it in my own way - successfully.

God be with me. :)

Tell your kitten he's a mediocre.

Wazzup yo. Late at night, (no it's morning already, & it's passed 1), I am still awake. Actually I slept for two hours & woke up just 3 hours ago so I am not yet sleepy. Holsam. Anyway, I am supposed to do my report in Psych but seems like I have no passion of doing it since yesterday, and the other day. I wonder how am I going to report later. Oh.

Ang love ay parang bike..

Ang love, parang bike.

May mga panahon na kapag inlove ka, hindi mo mapigilang umabot sa limit ng sarili mong emotions. Yung tipong kahit alam mong dead end na, sige ka parin kahit nauuntog ka na. Minsan masakit lalo na kung alam mo sa sarili mong gusto mo pa talaga, ayaw mo pang bumitaw, pero yung partner mo iniwan ka na sa ere, mag-isa, mukhang tanga.

Parang bike, kailangan dalawa ang gulong, pero yung isa, nawala na, kaya di ka na makaandar ulit. Pero parang bike lang din yan eh, kailangan mo lang ng bagong gulong, siguraduhin mo nga lang na yung fit ang pipiliin mo ulit. Kadalasan kasi, sa sobrang pagmamadali ng tao para mapalitan ang isang bagay na nawala sakanya, sumasablay siya sa pagpili, kaya lalong nasisira ang kabuuan niya. Kung wala ka pang mahanap na kapalit, maglakad ka muna. Pwede naman 'yun diba?
Naaalala mo ba yung mga panahon na crush mo pa lang siya? Yung tipong, kahit nasa malayo ka, alam mong siya yun kahit nakatalikod pa. Para kang stalker, pag naglalaro siya sa may court, titig na titig ka kahit naglelecture si ma'am sa harap. Nakadungaw sa bintana, lutang ang isip mo. Yun yung mga panahon na kapag ngingiti siya, makukuryente lahat ng veins sa loob ng katawan mo. Yung mga mababaw-kilig-moments, yung panahon na isang segundong eye-to-eye contact niyo lang, kumpleto ka na.

Yun kasi yung mga panahon na perfect magtagal, pero hindi pwede. Yun kasi yung panahon na di mo mararamdaman na masakit magmahal. Yun yung mga panahon na masasabi mong love is real, love is perfect, true love exists...

Pero dahil nga ang mga tao, kung mag-mahal, parang economics, minsan nag-iinflate, minsan, nagdedeflate. Kahit pa masaya na yan sa pa-crush crush lang, dadating pa rin sa punto na maghahanap ng mas okay na set-up, mas sigurado, mas cool, mas uso.
Minsan kailangan pa ng ligawan, lalo na kung pakipot ka. Pero minsan, pwede na din yung diretso kayo na. Ganun din naman daw kasi yun eh, magiging kayo din, so why prolong the agony ika nga?
Ang saya mainlove. Tipong may kasama ka kumain ng lunch, dinner. May kasama kang maglalakad sa mall, holding hands, same color of shirts, same bag, o kung anu pang trip niyo to show-off na couples kayo. Meron kang kasamang manood ng sine. Merong magbibigay sayo ng flowers. Merong nagpapadala sa'yo ng sweet notes, susundo sa'yo sa school, sa work, sa gimiks. May sisita sayo kapag may ginagawa kang kalokohan, at kikiligan ka tuwing sesermonan ka niya kapag nalasing ka, nasugatan, o napagod. Mayroong magtetext sa parents mo ng "Tita, tito, mahal ko po anak niyo.", may tutulong sa'yo magsolve ng problema mo. Mayroon kang kaibigan, ka-ibigan, at kasama.
Kaya lang... minsan, kahit mukhang pang forever na, sablay pa rin. Hindi naman kasi lahat ng bagay, kahit gaano mo pa kagusto, kahit gaano mo pa iniingatan, destined na mapasayo. Ganyan eh, kailangan mong maranasang mawalan, para pagdating ng panahon, alam mo na kung ano ang dapat mong alagaan.

Oo, masakit talaga masaktan. Mahirap maiwanan, pero atleast magkakaroon ka ng karanasan. Matitikman mo kung gaano kasarap ang buhay, lalo na kung alam mong lahat ng meron ka, di mo nakalimutang paghirapan.
Sabi nila, yung mga broken-hearted na mahilig magdrama, na mahilig magsenti, mahilig magpakita ng totoong nararamdaman, EMO. Ewan ko ah, pero nasubukan na ba nilang masaktan? Hindi kasi nila alam, process by process yan. Ang sugat, hindi naman gumagaling sa loob ng isang segundo. Ang kaibahan lang, yung iba, dumadaing, pero yung iba, tahimik lang.
Ang masasabi ko lang, love is complicated. Kahit matagal na panahon mo ng hawak hawak, in the end, hindi rin naman pala para sa'yo. Kahit pa marami nang masasaktan pag binitiwan mo pa, kailangan mo pa rin mag let-go. Kasi, kung hindi mo gagawin, hind mo makukuha kung ano ang nakatakda.

Ang korni no? Ang korni ng love, pero nakakatuwa. Biruin mo 'yun, ang love.. parang bike.
