Hari ng Gusot



Sumakop uli ang ulirang hangin
Kasabay ang araw ng mga hangal
Umiikot ang panalangin
Kasama ang mga taong pantal


Ang tugatog ng panahon ko
Inalipusta at winasiwas ng dila mo
Nagbulag-bulagan at tumanga ako
Iniluwa ang kagandahan ng ina mo


Pag ako ang nasa mata mo
Nasasaniban kang parang gago
Ang mga walang hiya sa buhay mo
Ang binabalikbalikan mong bago


Kaya tinapon ko ang isang tanong na magalang
Sunog na ang balat sa baluktot ng dilang banal
Bakit mo nilugmok ang gagong tikbalang
At sabay angal sa kumakabit na kupal


Anya niya, matador ang traydor na ungas
Sino ba ang anak ng himagsikang butete
Kung saan ang puno at bunga na patas
Doon kukubli ang natuturete


Hanggang hari ang ulupong
Lalamunin ang masirkong estupidong tunog
Mabagal ang mundo, usad-pagong
Ikaw ang anghel sa mundong sabog


Lahat ng muta ginamit na sangga
Natagpuan at inipon ng baboy ramo
Hinasa at tumulis, pinangsaksak sa panga
Ikakamatay ng sino mang tao sa labas


Ang sumasaksak may alipunga sa utak
Malawak ito, ngunit lublob sa tostadong baho
Ang tunay na siraulo bawat mali pumapatak
At ang katotohanan ang lulunod at maglalaho


Walang masambit dahil barado ang tubo
Kaya ang tubo hinampas sa alon
Nagwawalis at umiiwas sa bira ng bobo
At lumaya ako sa talampas na may talon


Lumikha ng linlang ay hindi magpapagago
Ang gago, lumilikha para makagago
Ang nagpapagago ay gago
At kung alam niyang siya ay ginagago


Siya ay Barako na alam ang totoong ilaw
Tumatawa sa kahilawan ng kagurangan
Nasisinagan ng totoong araw hindi balahaw
Magpakasaya ka sa pekeng kulungan


Sasanib sa isang bulag na amuyong ni satanas
Gagamitin ang sumpang lulupig sa bungangang ahas
Papasabugin ang madayang bulateng utak, ako’y aalpas
Sa kasinungalingang hatid, balikan ang tamang landas

A Lifetime's Worth of Education (from a Filipino Thomasian Medical Student)

...because even if you have attained the highest level or position in the medical field, you are always a student of medicine. I wrote this blog on March 10, 2006 in my yahoo 360 account as an attempt to blog about my medical life (which I failed to do). This was written days before I became a 4th year student, a medical clerk, or in the medical lingo, "the lowest life form in the hospital"... Ever since I entered medical school, my whole life turned up side down. It was like I’m adrift into the whirling pool of uncertainties. I counted every moment, every second, living it day by day. They said it would only take a short time to finish medicine, the hell with it (4 years of pre-med, 4 years of med proper, 1 year of internship, 3-5 years of residency and 1-2 years of fellowship). Partially it was true, toxicities make time fly in lightspeed. I am a 3rd year medical student at UST Faculty of Medicine and Surgery and an incoming clerk (duty starts at april 15). Whenever I remin...

Room

When  we were surrounded by chairs and whiteboards Books afloat and skulls on the table Light escaping from the other room Sunrays piercing thru the blinds You were looking at me the way you are looking at him Right now.

What is the difference between Tagalog and Filipino?

Tagalog used to be the National Language of the Philippines. Its existence can be traced back from the pre-Spanish Era. Tagalog is an olden language . Rajah Sulaiman was the Datu of the Tagalog Kingdom before it was forcefully taken by the Spaniards in the 15th century. The Tagalog people are the people who lived near the Ilog Pasig, hence, the term " Tagalog ", which is a contracted word of " taga-Ilog ". The Tagalog alphabet is also known as the " abakada " which is comprised of the following letters: A B K D E G H I L M N NG S T U W Y Pronounced as: A BA KA DA EH GA HA I LA MA NA NGA PA RA SA TA U WA YA The Congress changed the National Language to Filipino in order to unify our divided native tongues, because aside from the Tagalog Language, the Philippines also has other languages/dialects such as Cebuano, Ilonggo, Ilocano, Bicolano, Kapampangan etc. Although the Filipino Language is mostly based on Tagalog, it offers "direct adaptation"...
