Isang Pangarap

(Spoken Poetry)


Nangarap ako ng isang masayang Pamilya. Happy Family kung kami ay tawagin. 

Sinikap ko na maging maayos. Ngunit sabi nga nila kung hindi ukol hindi bubukol. 

Kung para sayo, para sayo, anuman ang mangyari.

Maraming naganap. Ilang taon din naman ang naging pagsasama.

Kadalasan mga araw naging maligaya dahil kasama sya. Buo ang pamilya.

Pero kahit ano pa ang gawin mo kung magluluko, magluluko, kung mang iiwan iiwanan ka talaga. 

Nagmakaawa ka na, nagpakababa pa, sa huli ikaw pa nga ang may sala.

Masyadong masakit hanggang ngayon ramdam na ramdam pa. 

Panahon na ang lumipas, mahaba na pala. 

Pero damang dama dahil sobrang lalim pala.

Andun ang takot hindi lang para sa sarili pero para rin na rin sa anak

Sa tuwina ang saya parang pilit na lang. 

Nakikita mo kasi sa mga mata ng anak mo ang lungkot. 

Nararamdaman mo ang kanyang lumbay. 

Nasasaktan ka kasi pakiramdam mo parang wala na syang pangarap. 

Takot na takot ka  na ang tanging nagagawa mo na lang ay umiyak. 

Bakit nga ba na ang isang pangarap mo hindi na magawang matupad? 

Ano nga ba ang nararapat? Masama ba na mangarap?

Siguro nga mali talaga. Wala sa tagal ng pagsasama. 

Kung yon nga hindi naging sapat, ipagpipilitan mo pa ba?

Akala ko okay na ako, hindi pa pala. Bakit ang sakit ramdam na ramdam pa?

 Hanggang kailan puso tuluyan na sanang maghilom. 

Nakakamiss din pero syempre in denial pa rin. 

Sabihin mo man na ikaw ay okay na pero kita naman sa mga mata na hindi pa.

Hanggang Isang Pangarap na nga lang pala talaga.

Moving on with "The Song of Achilles"

(Daughter's POV #3)             I have been very fond of Greek gods & goddesses, myths, stories, etc. ever since I was introduced to it. So to find ‘The Song of Achilles’ delighted the “fan” in me. When I first saw the title, I thought it would only be how Achilles proved how he was the best. It was kind of true, but it also gave me, the reader, more. So when the book arrived, I immediately flipped off the first page introducing me to a new world that would make me question, cry, and reach out to a love I found in the book.   Patroclus’ life was what the book showed first. He was Achilles’ “ philtatos” as what Achilles answered when asked who Patroclus was. His life as a young boy seeking for his father’s validation really got me. He thought of himself as less than average, and it hurt me that someone so young could really think like that of himself. He was a prince too. Just how bad it is to be put in a situation wher...

MALIBU RISING

  Malibu Rising. (Made my blood pressure rise too, I think.) (Daughter's POV #5) For my first July read, of course, it was another work from Taylor Jenkins-Reid. I am just so obsessed with how she writes and how I get immersed with it.  And, Malibu Rising did not disappoint me. This book might just be my favorite novel written by TJR. The drama, the love, revelations, and confessions just makes this book such a masterpiece. With each page I read, I actually find myself daydreaming as if I am also part of the story. How I feel and connect with each character- especially Nina. How this book tackled her relationship with her father was just heartbreaking. All her life her father was absent, and then he showed up out of nowhere, earned her trust and love, left again for another woman, then showed up years later because he’s already old, lonely, and needs his “family” and their “forgiveness.” The anger and sadness just mixed and my emotions were literally all over the place. How pr...

More Than Blue

More Than Blue (Daughter's POV #4) If there is anything I love about Filipino films, it’s how dramatic and cringy they could be yet it still gives you the feels. I’m well aware that More Than Blue was a remake but I’ll refuse to acknowledge that for now since I haven’t watched the original one yet. For the Filipino remake, I will admit that they did a great job in casting JC Santos. He is a very phenomenal actor and his crafts are one of the best I’ve seen. Films with him are just so good. So I really was looking forward to watching More Than Blue.  A screenshot from the trailer  I watched More Than Blue with a friend of mine. It was clear to me that she really enjoyed watching the movie. Only with a few complaints that the movie never stated the time frame we are in. Just a while ago they were in high school and then cut-! they’re working already. I had the same sentiments since I got confused too but it wasn’t really that hard to catch up with what the film is trying to co...
