transcendence


when I feel you, I remember the sun
blindingly gazing at its greatness, hurting at some
shivering off the coldness, embracing the light
soaring through the ages, lifting, emerging with calm

when i look at you, I see the moon
shining amidst the darkness of my mind
I tried to be near you, you spoke so gently
touched me softly, your smile was one of a kind

can we be? let us be, hear me whisper for a minute
we may lose our time
and for this last moment, before you take your eyes away
stare at me for the last time

tell me now if we really are one
for a second, a million, or for eons at a glance
shifting between cycles, returning back when time began
breathing slowly, discovering a lifetime of trance

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"...
