Isang Tala

-

Sa bilyong tala sa kalangitan
Iisang tala ang sabay nating tiningnan
Ang talang naging saksi sa ating sumpaan.

Sa napakaraming gabi, sa napakaraming taon
Ang talang iyon ang ating hanap para tumugon
Kapag ang puso ay naghihinagpis, nagtatanong.

Ang talang sabay nating tiningnan
Ngayon ay hindi ko na makita sa kalangitan
Nagtago, nawala, hindi ko alam ang dahilan.

Ang tala na noon ay lagi nating minamasdan
Ang kanyang tikas at ningning ay biglang naparam
Simula nang tumingin ka sa kaliwa at ako sa kanan.
Paalam.

50 Questions Challenge, Day 27: Do you want to change your career?

Photo from here . Yes, I planned about changing my career.  I am already growing tired of bureaucracy, excessive politicking, communistic type of management.  I never knew that it is more rampant in private offices than in government agencies.  I am actually wondering how I get to live by it for almost 4 years now.  The last quarter of 2009, I already decided it is time to go and look for a better environment to use and hone my skills.   I extended my stay as requested by my dear friends at work.  Actually, it is just the company of friends that made it hard for me to deny their request of me staying for a little while.  The little while went on for months and  I could not believe that it is the last quarter already and I am still living the life and working the work. Changing career is still in my plans, I am actually getting ready for it.  If you are following this challenge, I already mentioned it in my previous entries.   ...

Afternoon Jeepney Ride

I am back... as if I've been gone for too long.  Nothing really magnificent happened but I had random thoughts while I was riding the jeepney on my way home.  I was thinking anxiously of meeting my long time friends for dinner today but for some reason it didn't push through because of conflicts in the schedule of one of our friends.  Here is where the randomness started... here are the things that I thought of:   1.  Do not judge a person by his/her picture... I saw the campaign poster of one politician running for vice-mayoralty post and I have met this politician in person for the first time a few weeks ago... totally opposite... I prefer the picture. 2.  To qualify to run for a government position in the Philippines is easy: one must be a Filipino, can read and write, of legal age...  it is easier to pass than to pass a college entrance examination. 3.  You can never fit 12 people in a 12-seater jeepney if at least one of the passengers we...

World Invasion: Battle Los Angeles

I went to the mall to see World Invasion: Battle Los Angeles earlier this day. It is a story about, probably, man's greatest battle with aliens set in Los Angeles. It is not the best movie to watch with your family but if you want something to scare yourself even more after Japan's devastating battle with nature, this is the best movie for you. It is a feel good movie in the end since the marines, led by Aaron Eckhart, found a way to end the alien invasion. I will not spill the beans, though. My rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars.
