May silbi pa ba ang pagsusulat ? (to be submitted)

Ang pagsusulat ay isang uri ng sining na kung saan ito ay ginagamitan ng papel at panulat upang magawa. Maraming tao ang marunong magsulat, kung tutuusin nga para sa ibang tao, matuto ka lang magbasa at sumulat ay ayos na sa kanilang hindi na magtapos ng pagaaral. Nakakaawa ngunit ito ang katotohanan, malaking bagay na sa kanila ang matutong sumulat at bumasa.</div>

<div class="msonormal">

Kung pagsusulat lang ang paguusapan, magaling tayo jan. Maraming Pilipino na ang&nbsp; naging sikat dahil sa pagsusulat ng kung ano-anong bagay tulad ng tula, maikling kwento o kahit kanta,

Sa simula palang ng ating kasaysayan, marunong na ang mga taong magsulat, dahil naisulat nila ang mga nangyayari sa kanilang buhay noong kapanahunan nila.

Eh ang problema, iba na ang panahon ngayon. Meron na tayong ipod, ipad, laptop at kung ano ano pang pwedeng mapagkaabalahan ang mga kabataan. Kahit nga ang pagsusulat sa kanilang notebook ay tinatamad na sila, pagsulat pa kaya ng tula?

Sa pagsusulat naman ng mga pang retorikang gawain, kung hindi mo pa utusan ang mga estudyante ay hindi nila ito gagawin. At kung uutusan mo lang silang gumawa ng reflection paper ay duon lang sila makakaisip na magsulat.&nbsp; kahit nga pagbabasa ng editorial sa dyaryo, halos malaking effort na para sa kanila.

Iba na tayo ngayon, marami nang nangyari.. Kung iisipin, napakalaki ng silbi at pakinabang ng pagsusulat. Isa tong simpleng paraan upang ipahiwatig sa lahat ng taong marunong magbasa at makinig ang kailangan nilang malaman. Tulad ng ginagawa ko. Nilagyan ko ng titulong "pangising sa mga natutulog na kaluluwa" ang title ng blog site ko, kasi, gusto kong gisingin ang diwa ng mga taong natutulog nalang at hindi nakikialam.

Wala tayong mapupuntahan kung hindi tayo tutulungan ng pagsusulat, kaya, bilang isang taong marunong magsulat ng website ng blogger, alam ko, na kaya mo ring magsulat at ipahatid ang nararamdaman mo.

Freedom (for submission)

Freedom, a word that is worth fighting for, many people died just to have it. But for the future generations, is freedom really worth fighting for?

You can define freedom as a state in which somebody is able to act and live as he or she chooses, without being subject to any undue restraints or restriction. People love to be free, they could do anything they want, can go to any places they love and even do things they love. You are free because you don’t want to be attached to anyone, you don’t want anyone to do things for you, or even influence you in your works.

Being free could be good or bad, an advantage or a disadvantage, an opportunity to grab or a risk to take. Our country fought for our independence and freedom from the Spaniards, Americans and those pesky Japanese. Why? Because we Filipinos wanted to be free, we wanted to be lead by those of our own blood and brother in nationality not by those who just came here to conquer us. But, we are imprisoned not just by those other people but also we became victims of our own countrymen. Looking for an example? Well, no one except Pres. Ferdinand Emmanuel Edralin Marcos, the legend. For some, he is a hero, but majority says that he equals Adolf Hitler. The Martial Law is his specialty, everybody knows that he is the aster for the massive killings; I don’t want to talk about it because I am not yet born on that time. Our ancestors really want to be free so that they are no longer required to pay tributes or rent to the Spaniards or the conquerors. So that, they will have money to be wasted in a lot of things.

Our generation today is a lot more different, it seems like they wanted to be conquered specially by the Koreans, the pesky Japanese once again and also the Americans. Why? Because they wanted the technologies, the entertainment and a lot of things from these country. I just wish that they would figure out what they are doing is no longer good for our country and also for themselves.

These kiddos are very smart, they can do a lot of things but in exchange of this, these kiddos wanted to be independent even though they can’t. They always thought that if their go out of their houses and leave those people who grew them up, they can do things by themselves which is terribly wrong in many situations, many, for girls, ended up pregnant, and in boys, they ended up criminals.

Being free for me, Is choosing what your heart’s desire, whether it is right for others or wrong, it is you, and only you could suffer a greater consequence if you choose a bad decision. No one can blame you, who are they to blame you? Did they really know what you really wanted to do or need to do? My answer, for me, it is you, you don’t have to always open yourself to others, for in reality, you could not trust those people you just met so don’t open yourself to them, for it may lead you bounded to them. Your heart is your best weapon and shield so treasure it and use it to be happy. You might be bounded today but who cares? If it is for your own good, let it, and nothing last forever, maybe tomorrow, you are free.

PISO {(not for submission)

Naglalakad lakad sila,
iniiwasan, kinatatakutan, at kabiglabigla
minsan sila ay nasa iyong harapan o likudan,
pag di mo sila nakita'y baka sa nasa iyong tagiliran.

Kuya Piso! Piso lang! Pahingi,
si kuya ay mistulang bingi,
Walang makain, walang tirahan,
sa isang lugar lang mahahanap, sa lansangan.

Kung umasta ay akala mo mga siga,
kung ikaw ay hihina hina, ika'y mababanga
ngunit sila lang ba ang dapat sisihin?
dahil hindi nila narating ang narating natin?

Maaawa ka sa una mong tingin,
mga batang paslit at matatandang ulyanin,
ganito ba talaga ang ating lipunan?
kahit saan, ay may makikita kang nasasaktan.

Sana'y tulungan sila ng nasa itaas,
na mawala ang sakit na kanilang dinadanas,
at sa mga taong kanilang kinakasalamuha,
sana naman ay bigyan nyo ng kahit konting awa.

Living today... Dying tomorrow {to be Submitted}

walk...walk...walk...no talk,

run...run...run...yet having no fun,

beep...beep...beep... you hear on the sidewalk,

just stay there and you will be stun.

birds that is flying on the sky,

pecking on the forehead of a fly,

bushes that stares at the vultures passing,

hummingbirds that hides even they want to sing.

screams that blast my ear drums,

because i only live here on the slums,

where only the eagles could be educated,

while those of my kind were neglected.

everyday i fly in the skies,

searching for food because my stomach cries,

i don't want to become a scavenger,

but sometimes i need, for my life is in danger.

is there anyone out there?!

run...run...run...afraid to stay mere

walk....walk...walk...no talk

I'm just here, staying near where you walk.

my kind are living today,

yet has no assurance of tomorrow,

that's why to God we pray,

that he would erase this sorrow.

Diary(december)

The Diary

Ten years ago, Hans looses all of his dreams in an instant; a dear friend stole from him. And though it was passed ten years, He always thought that even he forgive his friend, she would never ask for forgiveness nor even admit what she did  I kept telling myself that “Life must go on!”.

Hans is living in Zenica near the bookstore with his family. He is a famous person for his good works and his deeds. They are family of Catholics but they did not criticize other religions. A simple life is what he asked for; he just wanted to be with his family and friends. He is working on a first class hotel when he decided to put a business in the year 2000 with his friend, Delilah. Fortunately, the business they built grow, but Hans notices that Delilah has a new laptop, Hans asked Delilah where did it came from but she only said that it was a gift from a good friend. After sometime, the business they brought up is bankrupted; and Hans figured out that Delilah is stealing from their money. Now, Hans is working as a manager of the Hotel and having some money which he saves. Everything that happened is written on his diary.

“Yes Sir, I will be right there immediately” says Hans
“Okay, but be sure to bring all the records you had” instructed the Director
“Yes Sir”

On the office of the director:

“You will be assigned to our branch at Sarajevo” Mr. Andres says
“Thank you sir, when will I going to start?” ask Hans
“Tomorrow, you will be escorted to Sarajevo” Mr. Andres says
“But Sir, I don’t need an escort”
“You will need, you will be the Vice President of our branch in Sarajevo”
“Thank you Sir, I owe it all to you” Hans says
“You deserve it”

Morning has come, Hans ride the car that is parked in the parking lot of the hotel, and with him are Mr. Andres and some of his staffs.

“Thank you very much Sir” says Hans
“You deserve it! I know that when you are the V-President in Sarajevo, our Hotels will succeed!” says Mr. Andres
“Thank you for giving the opportunity to prove myself to you”
“So much thanks! I trust you the company, so prove yourself to me!”
“Yes Sir! I will prove myself to you”
“Of you Go then” says Mr. Andres
“Goodbye Sir” says Hans
“Have a nice trip” says Mr. Andres

During the journey of Hans on the road, he notices that there are some people following him, he knew that they were his escorts.

When he reaches the Hotel, he is warmly welcomed by some of the hotel staffs. He was brought to his permanent office. He will be staying at the condominium near the hotel, the condominium is provided by the company for him.

On the first day of his job, he does the things that the Vice President must do; and after a few months, all his workmates became close to him and they became friends.

“Sir, there is a phone call for you, it’s Director Andres” his assistant says
“Okay”

The assistant transferred the connection to the office of Hans.

“Hello Sir, Good afternoon” greeted Hans
“Good afternoon Hans, there is a report that our hotel is doing great! Thanks to you, you truly deserve your position” says Mr. Andres
“Thank you Sir”
“How about you will be promoted to President?”
“Thank you Sir, but the Presidency is the position of your Son”
“He did not deserve it! You deserve it more!”
“I’m sorry sir”
“It’s Okay, I know that this will happen, but you should always have a conversation with him so that all his decisions will be right”
“I will Sir”

Hans decided to go to the office of Leo, the son of Mr. Andres.

“Sir, can we talk?” says Hans
“Sure, take your sit, so what is it?” Leo greeted Hans Warmly
“Your father wants me to give your position but I refused it, I want you to prove yourself to your father so that he could be confident in you” says Hans
“”Why did you refused it? I really don’t want this position, he just gave it to me and I had no choice!” exclaimed Leo
“Please, Mr. Andres is like a father to me he wants me to give everything that I don’t even need”
“I’m so sorry, from now on; I will prove myself to him, thank you Hans”
“You’re welcome Sir”

After 5 years, Hans is one of the riches people in their country. He takes a deep breath while sitting into the chair on their sala. He’s reading his diary and he realized that all the misfortunes that happened to him are now being rewarded back.

Somewhere down the road

When Matthew Lanrouj asked to head the department where he works, he accepted the offer even though he is a bit scared.  He planned and exercised his assigned responsibilities as best as he could and ended his term as one of the best heads the department had ever seen. Matthew was surprised then one faculty member criticized his performance. He felt that her accusations against him were without basis. Matthew’s anger towards her affected his work and he became unproductive in the office.

“What do you really want from me?” Matt exclaimed
“Nothing! You were such a loser; you always think that you know everything” Magi Exclaimed
“You are such an insecure! Don’t worry, I’ll resign!” Matt says with a loud voice

Matt resigned at his work. For all the years he spent in that company he realized that he just get defeated instantly. He got home early and his mother noticed that he was early this day.

“How was your day?” Mrs. Lanrouj ask
“I will lie if I’ll say everything is okay” Matt says
“My son, that’s just a trial, you’ve come to this point of your life because you’ve surpass many trials”
“I love you Mom”
“I love you too”

Their family lives on an apartment in Dublin. They were there for almost 12 years after Matthew’s father died, but because Matt resigned on his work, he needs to find another one to be able to pay the rental of their house.

After 2 months Matt still couldn’t find a job. The good thing is that the landlady is a good friend of them and she understands their current status. Unfortunately, his mother got sick. He tried to do works on the street but it is just enough for their foods, after a month, his mother died. Matthew’s anger towards the girl grew much heavier, and no one can change his mind.

After the neurological service of his mother, Matt decided to go to someplace to start his life once again. He travelled 51.7 Miles to Tullamore and started his life there. After a year he was employed in a store and became good friends with the owner.

“Sir, we had a lot of sales this day and some customers gave us a tip”
“Really? Well, that’s good, tomorrow will be another day and I hope that we will have better sales” Mr. Maos says
 “I hope Sir; by the way, there was a letter from Mr. Guthen he is requesting to meet me at Charleville castle and bring some goods for him and his friends” says Matt
“Okay, bring everything on his list tomorrow”
“Yes Sir”

The next morning Matt delivered the goods in the Charleville Castle. Mr. Guthen was impressed by his dedication on his work that’s why; Mr. Guthen hired Matt into his company, Matt bid farewell to his friends and to Mr. Maos.

After a year Matt became the Vice President of the company, he became successful on his life, he thanks Mr. Guthen for all the blessings he received.  He forgot his anger towards the girl, he forgot everything about his past, and he is just focusing on the present. One night, Mr. Guthen called Matt in his office.

“Do you really know why I hired you here?” Mr. Guthen asks
“Not really Sir” Matt says
“Because of your skills, your abilities! And someone ask me to do it” Mr. Guthen says
“Can I know the name sir?” Matt ask
“She’s Lina Florence” says Mr. Guthen

Matt was shocked, the reason of his misfortune and the death of his mother is coming back to him.

“I can’t believe this”
“She’s sorry for what she’d done” says Mr. Guthen
“I already forgave her, Mr. Guthen”
“She wants to see you on Tuesday, met her at Charleville castle” Mr. Guthen instructed.

Matt traveled to Tullamore and find Lina on Charleville Castle. She was really sorry.

“I’m sorry, Please forgive me” says Lina
“I’ve forgave you a long ago” says Matt

Matt hugged Lina. They became friends and lately fall in love with each other. When Matt was assigned at America, he needs to leave Lina alone. They both encountered challenges as couples, but still, continues to have faith with one another.

“Hello Hon? How are you there?” Ask Lina
“I’m Okay, I will be home next Month, but I have to tell you something”
“What is it? Is there something wrong?” Lina was curious and worried
“I’m married”
“I’d loved you since the day we were together” Lina is crying
“I’m sorry, please forgive me” Matt says
“It’s Okay, but can I request you one thing?” says Lina
“What is it?” Matt asks
“Could you stay with us even just a week?”
“Sure, I will be staying there next month”

When Matt came home, he was warmly welcomed by Lina, it seems that nothing happens. On six days of his stay, he realized how much he loves Lina he realized that Lina gave her whole world to him. But on the seventh’ day…

“Honey, can I ask you to dance with me?” ask Lina
“Sure, you know we’d love to dance” Matt says
“I Love you” Says Lina

When the two was dancing, Matt sees their pass, all the trials and problems they’ve encountered. On the part “Somewhere down the road our roads are gonna cross again, it doesn’t really matter when” Lina loses her consciousness, she was rushed to the hospital but the Doctor announced that she was dead and the cause is Cancer.

After many years, Matt is happy of his marriage life, but he cannot forget Lina. And if He will be given a chance to live again, he would choose to live with Lina.
