TAGUBILIN AT HABILIN: Jose Lacaba (2003)

TAGUBILIN AT HABILINby: José “Pete” Lacaba (2003)
Mabuhay ka, kaibigan!Yan ang una’t huli kong tagubilin at habilin: Mabuhay Ka!
Sa edad kong ito, marami akong maibibigay na payo.Mayaman ako sa payo…
Maghugas ka ng kamay bago kumain.Maghugas ka ng kamay pagkatapos kumain.Pero huwag kang maghuhugas ng kamay para lamang makaiwas sa sisi.Huwag kang maghuhugas ng kamay kung may inaapi na kaya mong tulungan.
Paupuin mo sa bus ang matatanda at ang mga may kalong na sanggol.Magpasalamat ka sa nagmamagandang loob.Matuto sa karanasan ng matatanda pero huwag magpatali sa kaisipang makaluma.
Huwag piliting matulog kung ayaw kang dalawin ng antok.Huwag pag-aksayahan ng panahon ang mga walang utang na loob.Huwag makipagtalo sa bobo at baka ka mapagkamalang bobo.
Huwag bubulong-bulong sa mga panahong kailangang sumigaw.Huwag kang manalig sa bulong-bulungan.Huwag papatay-patay sa ilalim ng pabitin.Huwag kang tutulog-tulog sa pansitan.
Umawit ka kung nag-iisa sa banyo.Umawit ka sa piling ng barkada.Umawit ka kung nalulungkot.Umawit ka kung masaya.
Ingat lang…
Huwag kang aawit ng “My Way” sa videoke bar at baka ka mabaril.Huwag kang magsindi ng sigarilyo sa gasolinahan.Dahan-dahan sa matatarik na landas.Dahan-dahan sa malulubak na daan.
Higit sa lahat inuulit ko: Mabuhay ka!
Maraming bagay sa mundo na nakakadismaya, mabuhay ka!Maraming problema ang mundo na wala na yatang lunas, mabuhay ka!
Sa hirap ng panahon, sa harap ng kabiguan, kung minsan ay gusto mo nang mamatay.Gusto mong maglaslas ng pulso kung sawi sa pag-ibig.Gusto mong magbigti kung napakabigat ng mga pasanin.Gusto mong pasabugin ang bungo mo kung maraming gumugulo sa utak.
Huwag kang patatalo, huwag kang susuko!
Narinig mo ang sinasabi ng awitin,“Gising at magbagon sa pagkagupiling,Sa pagkakatulog na lubhang mahimbing.”
Gumising ka kung hinaharana ka ng pag-ibig.Bumangon ka kung nananawagan ang kapus-palad.
Ang sabi ng iba, ang matapang ay walang takot lumaban,Ang sabi ko naman,ANG TUNAY NA MATAPANG AY LUMALABAN KAHIT NATATAKOT!
Lumaban ka kung iminumudmod ang nguso mo sa putik.Bumalikwas ka kung tinatapak-tapakan ka!BUONG TAPANG MONG IPAGLABAN ANG IYONG MGA PRINSIPYO,KAHIT HINDI KA SIGURADO NA AGAD-AGAD KANG MANANALO.
Mabuhay ka, kaibigan! Mabuhay Ka!

A love song for no one.. [edited/]

I DIDNT KNOW I WAS LOOKING FOR LOVE-Everything but girl


I was alone thinking I was just fineI wasn’t looking for anyone to be mineI thought love was just a fabricationA train that wouldn’t stop at my station

Home alone, that was my consignmentSolitary confinementSo when we met I was gettin around youI didn’t know I was looking for love until I found you…

I didn’t know I was looking for love until I found you, honeyI didn’t know I was looking for love until I found you, baby, oh noI didn’t know I was looking for loveI didn’t know I was looking for love

Coz there you stood and I wouldOh I wonder could I say how I felt and not be misunderstoodA thousand stars came into my systemI never knew how much I had missed themSlap on the map of my heart you landedI was coy but you made me candidAnd now the planets circle around youI didn’t know I was looking for love until I found you…

I didn’t know I was looking for love until I found you, babyI didn’t know I was looking for love until I found you, babyI didn’t know I was looking for loveI didn’t know I was looking for love

So we build from here with love as the foundationIn a world of tears won consolationAnd now you’re here there’s a full brass bandPlayin’ in me like a wonderlandAnd if you left I would be two-foot smallAnd every tear would be a waterfallSoundless, boundless I surround youI didn’t know I was looking for love until I found youI just didn’t know

Didn’t know I was looking for love until I found you..Love…love…

I just didn’t know…love…love…

Until I found you

Didn’t know I was looking for love…Love…love..Until I found you…

If anyone would ask me, what inspires me to go on in this journey. I'll say to them, Its the journey itself. The thrill of not knowing what goes beyond every door you open, the joy of meeting great people along the road and the fact that after a long way of travelling on this journey, there is really a finish line and thats what Im looking up to.-Marya
