Under the ground my mom lies.
Six feet.
Itās a distance between two worlds.
Six feet.
Far enough for a daughter to miss her mom.
Six feet.
Close enough to whisper.
Six feet.
Not enough to separate us.
Bago ka magising, nananaginip ka muna.
Bago ka dumilat, nakapikit ka muna.
Bago mo makita ang liwanag, dilim muna.
Kailangan mo lang malaman na nakapikit ka para mamulat ka.
Kailangan mo lang tapusin ang panaginip para magising ka sa katotohanan.
Kailangan mong malaman ang maliā¦para makagawa ka ng tama.

Narinig ko yan sa isang TV commercial.
Makes sense and that goes for EVERY leader and aspirig leader.
SA TOTOO LANG… Hindi ka naman talaga pwedeng maging mabuting pinuno kung hindi mo kayang maging mabuting tao. Oo, naniniwala akong may kabutihan sa bawat tao… pero hindi sa lahat ng oras, madaling piliin ang pagiging mabuting tao. At napakahirap, lalo sa isang naghihirap na bansa, ang magkaroon ng lider na hindi kayang pumili ng mabuting gawain sa “mas maraming” pagkakataon.
Tao lang tayo na nagkakamali. Pero sana maisip ng sinumang nais umupo, umuupo at mga nais muling umupo na hindi scratch paper ang mga dokumentong nakaharap sa kanila araw araw.
Ulit. Tao lang tayo na nagkakamali.
Pero may pagkakaiba rin kung minsan ang paggawa ng mali sa paggawa ng masama.
Kung ano ba talaga ang gusto kong tumbukin…hindi ko rin alam.
Basta ang alam ko, hindi pa man nagaganap ang halalan, may mga taong nagpaplano na para sa kampanya sa susunod na halalan.
Ganung kaaga. Ganung katagal ang plano para sa pagtakbo ng isang kandidato. Kung bakit pag nandyan na…parang wala man lang naiplano para sa nasasakupan.
Ganung kaaga. Ganung katagal.
Pero tayong mga botante… Gaanong katagal tayong nag-iisip ng lider na gusto nating iluklok?
Gaanong katagal kang nag-iisip kapag may pulitikong nag-aabot sayo ng pera?
Inuulit ko… napakahirap, lalo sa isang naghihirap na bansa ang magkaroon ng pinunong hindi kayang pumili ng mabuti sa “mas maraming” pagkakataon.
Kaya napakahirap kung meron tayong mga mamamayang hindi kayang maging mabuti para pumili ng tamang lider.
Kung sa mga oras na ‘to may mga nagpaplano na para sa susunod na eleksyon… Di ba, dapat tayo rin?
Isa pa.
Higit sa pagiging mabuting pangulo ang pagiging mabuting tao.
Ang mabuting tao, hindi nakikilala sa loob lang ng ilang buwan ng pangangampanya.
Subukan nating mag-isip.
Dahil higit sa pagkakaroon ng mabuting lider, ay ang pagkakaroon ng mabuting mamamayan.SA TOTOO LANG…
GLORY TO GLORY. I have 2 complimentary tickets to Kerygma Conference 2011āone VIP CENTER RIGHT and VIP SIDE LEFT. Itās Bo Sanchezās Singles Stream Conference this coming Saturday, 8 AM to 5PM at ALIW Theater.
Unfortunately, I wonāt be able to come due to a couple of commitments that day š„
SOā¦ If youāre interested, you might wanna mail me at aprilcarlen@yahoo.com or send me a PM on facebook or twitter to get these tickets. Just make sure youāll attend the conference and weāll be good.
Shoot!
I took this photo of my couz about two and a half years agoā¦
Back then, I was like, āWow, dalaga na sya!ā
And then last Sunday, I saw this invitationā¦
And I was like, āUuuyyy!!! Dalaga na talaga sya!!!ā
Todayās my cousin @kimpotcy_11 ās birthday! Yes, 11.11.11. What a nice date!
Tomorrowās the party and still, I havenāt rehearsed enough for our special number. Hehe
It seems to me that itās been a while since I celebrated my own debutā¦but when I saw this invitationā¦
Whew! Itās been years ago!
Sometimes, what really reminds us of our age is not our birthdaysā¦Itās the younger ones around us that we see growing up and makes us realizeā¦Ā āItās been quite a whileā.
But you know what? Itās one good sign.
We havenāt noticed our times passing by coz maybeā¦even if surviving seems difficult, weāve been enjoying our stay here on Earth. :ā)
Just like any other show, one scene will hit youā¦like in any other movie, one line will hit you.
Itās really more than a wordplayā¦
The philantropist-singer-songwriter idol filled the Big Dome last night with fun, entertainment, lessons and love.
How?
ENTERTAINMENT. He performed in one great concert showing pure talent. With songs on some spontaneous lyrics, vocal shiftingā that āwhat-the?!ā operatic song plus that āLucky-without-Colbie-but-seems-no-oneās-missingāā¦ and of course the āMIXINGāāThe Remedy plus Wonderwall and other songs plus Beatlesāā¦
JUST AMRAZING!
FUN. He didnāt forget to connect. Talked and LISTENed to the crowdā¦ Thereās always a responseāmuch like a returned āI love youāā¦
Thereās interaction. Thereās audience participation. Thereās Jason Mraz!
LESSON. Spread the love.
What I like about this philantropist is that he doesnāt simply love the humankind but he spreads the love wherever he goes. To me, the best of all the lyrics he uttered is thisā¦
āREAL MEN DONāT BUY GIRLSā
He knows that people like him are in the right place to call for an action, influence folks, set examples and make up minds.
He has an advocacy that is peaceā¦Ā A cause for that night that is stopping human traffickingā¦
I guess, heās a perfect proof that those who have a cause have that effect.
No doubt, he was loved by a populace who were all strangers to him.
LOVE. You can feel it when a person loves what heās doing. It reflects in whatever he does. When he saidā¦
āI wanna give myself away coz this is the kind of place I wanna stayā¦ā
Who cares if he said it several times? We felt it was real and nothing stopped the crowd from going āahhhhwwwwāā¦
He enjoyed it coz the audience were enjoying. And the audience enjoyed itā¦coz he is enjoyingā¦ There is no end in what Iām sayingā¦ Lalalalalalalalife is wonderfulā¦ when you meet wonderful people.
No, Iām not really a long time die hard fanaticā¦ not until last wonderful night :ā)
P.S. Lucky youā¦whoever you are who got that YELLOW BANDANA! Grrrrā¦
(Hindi ako nakatulogā¦pagdating pa lang nya pinagdidiskitahan ko na yun!!!!)
Tapos na ang isang buong araw na blackout, dalawang araw na walang internet at tatlong araw na walang tubig nawasaā¦
Maraming bata ang nainip at walang nagawa. Maraming empleyado ang di nakapagtrabaho.
Kase walang kuryente.
Kase walang internet.
Walang pasok pero walang nakapag DVD marathon, walang nakapagfacebook at walang nakasulit ng UNLI.
Maraming nakapansin kung gaano na nakadepende ang buhay nila sa kuryente at internet.
Bumalik yung panahon ng kwentuhan, chess, at jamming habang nakapalibot sa bukas na kandilaā¦
Ngayon alam nyo naā¦ Mahalagang makipagsabayan sa modernong panahon pero hindi kailangang makalimot sa mga lumang gawi.
Masarap ang buhay ng kabataan ngayon dahil sa PSP, iPod at laptopā¦
Pero kahit kailan hindi magiging aburido sa buhay ang batang sanay mag jackstoneā¦
May kuryente o wala, unlimited ang pag level up hanggat may naiisip kang exhibition at additional rule.
Buti na langā¦laking jackstone ako. :ā)
Marami nang alternatibo ngayonā¦pero may mga bagay na hindi kayang palitan ng gadget.
Yung punong pinutol mo at sakahang tinabunan ng semento para sa isang subdivision, yun din yung punong pipigil sana sa baha at palay na bubusog sana ngayon sa mga pamilyang nalunod ang bahay at nakapila para sa relief na bigas.

I am writing this because I hope, the world will notice it.
As of this moment, my relatives, friends and fellow Bulakenyos in Calumpit, Hagonoy, Pulilan, Obando, Bulakan and kababayans in other parts of our country are in need of the following due to massive flooding left by Typhoon Pedring:
1. Prayers. The easiest and most powerful.
2. Rubber Boats. If your municipalities can lend us your spare boats, it can really help as there are still lots of families waiting at their roofs to be rescued.
3. Chopper. Some parts that need rescuing canāt be reached by rescuers by boat. Nothingās impossible here.
4. Bed sheets for the evacuation centers
5. Canned Goods and Noodles. Relief goods that will last longer.
6. Drinking water. They donāt have access to clean and safe water as of the moment.
7. Extra clothes. Most of them havenāt saved a thing from their washed out properties.
8. Medicines.
9. Financial Assistance. Money is supposed to lubricate things so let it ease the rehabilitation. There is NO LITTLE PLEDGE. Every donation counts.
10. Volunteers. People who can share their time.
You can contact (044) 791Ā 0566 to ask how you can send your support. Or may Google agencies and networks where you can give your donations. Letās use the power of the internet. I know,
nothingās impossible here. Wherever you are, you can do something.
Ople Center 833Ā 5337/ 833Ā 9562
Bulacan NDRRMC Relief Operations 0980Ā 882Ā 4882/ (044) 793Ā 2619
The other side of the world is just a click awayā¦so why not reach out?
This is a test we shall pass.
THERE IS ALWAYS A BETTER WAY.
Letās stop blaming the officials and MAKE A MOVE.
LIFE is MORE IMPORTANT than opinions.
The world can read this, I know.
PS. If you have relatives in the affected areas who are still waiting for rescuers, tell them to go to safe higher places as the flood level is expected to rise. Another typhoon will visit us and our dam will definitely need to release more water. Tell them to save batteries, prepare flashlights and mirrors to make them noticeable in the dark. There is a roaming chopper for rescue operations. Stay safe.
Remember Friendster?
When all that consumes your time is pimping your profile page and all that excites you are testimonials…
When you can PATIENTLY wait for a private message to be mailed back in a weeks time…
When you can make a thread of conversation through testimonials…
Remember?
I guess the world’s just like that. Everything comes to a point where you can only remember them. Everyday, the world goes on, changes and there are things that aren’t allowed to ride further. One day it’ll be gone or one day, you’ll be.
Time will come and people will talk something like… “Remember Facebook?”
Or
Your friends will talk something like… “Remember this person?…” on Facebook.
Both times will come but it’s either the first case or the second that will come first.
So what’s the point in arguing with things around you?
Funny how we can easily reach longer distances and yet it seems, the farther we can reach, the shorter our patience becomes.
We keep goin back to “simple” Facebook days…but never the great Friendster days.
Remember Friendster days? Connections aren’t as fast as what we have today but we survived.
The way I look at the wall posts today, to me it’s just about two things…either Facebook doesn’t care about what you want or you don’t care enough to learn and adapt.
