Balik Batangueno...

Ang mga nakakadugong salita ay ngayo'y nagbabalik...hindi ko man sya naintindihan pero sige post ko na rin.

1. Ala! Ang bata na nakagat ng guyam ay atungal na, bago ginalaw pa naman ng kapatid kaya lalong nag alma . Hanggang sa nagalit ang ina. Iyon, napag asbaran pa. Medyo naulaga yata, kaya kumaripas ng takbo at patikar na. Mandin kay nagsungasob digat na harhar na ang lulor. Banday kana ay ina, napaawa naman. Ang sabe'y "Siya parine at ikaw ay humambo muna at napakatubal na ng iyong salapot." Pinagsabihang "huwag kang magdadamusak at paldak na ang ating bang bang. Pagka ikaw ay napasal, kumain ka na at pig-an mo ng kalamunding ang hawot. Pagkatapos mong maghiso, ikaw ay popundo na laang at huwag kang la-adyo kung saan saan, at baka ka mag sungaba ay buburingki ka."Aba! Tulig nga naman ang bata. Bago maya maya pa ay panay na naman ang yaw yaw. At tutuong ipinagpapa-arak ang laruan. Ngay-oy nahili ang kapatid, hanggang sa nagkaribok.Ala! Di laang na namang nagarote. Ka antak din ng mga pangyayari.
   
2. (Bumibili ng kameseta) Magara ga ire? Sa siya. at akong magpapamulay pa at kailangang ko ng salapi. Saan ga naligwit ang aking kalpi?
   
3. Isang dukhang binatilyong Batangueno ang nakasaksak ng taga-Maynila sa town plaza nung kapistahan ng kanilang bayan. Sa Maynila ginanap ang hearing. Dahil mahirap lamang si Batangueno, at walang aral, mag-isa na lamang nagpunta sa Maynila. Nagpahatid na lamang sa bus terminal at lumuwas kahit wala siyang alam.Sa korte:Judge: "Iyo ngang isalaysay ang tunay na pangyayari.:Batangueno: " Aba eh, ako ho'y paligor-ligor lamang sa plaza, yan ga namang hong salibuy-buyan nang salibuy-buyan ang mga tao, eh may isang timalog na babangla bangla ay aking nasangge ng kaunti. Aba'y bigla ho akong sinampiga. Ala , yung dukot ko ho ng aking kampit, bigla kong sinakyod, inabot ko sa tagiliran, inuraol ko ng inuraol, e di pangga-aw na ho. Nagkaribok ngayon ang mga tao, nangagsikamod at nagdagisdisan na ng takbo. Mga damit ko hong bagwit kung saan saan nasang-it, nilimut ko na laang hong maigi.... ah kung inabot ko pa uli'y siguradong tilhak sya sa akin.:Pinaulit ng Judge at yun uli ang sinabi. Sumuko na ang judge at hindi maintidihan kahit ilang ulit ang salaysay. Na-dismiss ang kaso.

12 Little Things Every Filipino Can Do To Help Our Country

...or every man can do to his own country that is.

My boyfriend gave me this little book from his team building seminar last week. I want to share to you these things, little it may seems, but it could make a difference in our lives and our country.

Could it be that our love for Pinas is the only thing that is missing that is why our country is like this?

The book was written by Atty. Alexander L. Lacson. Finished law at UP Diliman and took post graduate studies at Harvard Law School, Cambridge, Mass.

He believes that every Filipino is part of the SOLUTION to our nations's problems., and that each one of us is part of the HOPE we seek. (www.alexlacson.net)

1. Follow traffic rules. Follow the law
2. Whenever you buy or pay for anything, always ask for an official receipt
3. Don't buy smuggled goods. Buy local. Buy Filipino.
4. When you talk to others, especially foreigners, speak positively about us and our country.
5. Respect your traffic officer, policeman, and soldier.
6. Do not litter. Dispose your garbage properly. Segregate. Recycle. Conserve.
7. Support your church.
8. During elections, do your solemn duty.
9. Pay your employees well.
10. Pay your taxes.
11. Adopt a scholar or a poor child.
12. Be a good parent. Teach your kids to follow the law and love our country.

It is time to love Philippines more...before it is really too late.

It also takes faith not to believe

...call it atheism. someone who doesn't believe that there is someone who is above us that is all powerful and all knowing. A being, a person...call it God. Living life without it...i call it religion.

i was once an atheist. i didnt know where or why i came up to a decision that there is no God but there was a point that i just simply concluded that his existence was just a hoax. a belief that man made just to believe in something or someone. Man just created God for a purpose, whatever that is. Ironically, there is just no way i could ever think that there is no God. My parents and relatives were Catholics. I don't see that they are that devout but i can say they are just normal catholics. i went to a Catholic school, from the age of three to the end of my scholarly days. We pray everyday. Go to mass every Sunday. Rosaries where everywhere in our house. And oh yeah, those wooden and stone carved images of persons that every Catholic knows. But i still have that fear about God. I am not the type who just don't believe. I do and do things that my culture dictates how to believe in him.

Historically, every civilization that rose in this world dealt greatly with religion. they existed for the purpose of serving their god. may it be an invisible or tangible being. different civilizations have their own gods, in form or in character. They maybe pagans, idolaters or serving the true one but who could tell? who had the authority in this world that could discern that the one they are serving or believing is THE ONE. and in conclusion to this i had decided that man was the one who created god, not the other way around.

but as time goes by it was really hard for me not to believe in God. i just look at the order of this universe, how all the things you see were on its proper place, each has its own purpose. if there is no intelligent being greater than us put it all into its proper place, i believe there is no such order. look at the complexity of a man. its body, its brain, its emotion and its spirit. can we really create an exact replica of it? looking at the world itself it is really hard not to believe in God. it might have been perfect. we might have been perfect. but the imperfections we see was rooted on us.

it really takes faith not to believe when the world gives you all the evidence that there is God. when you decide not to believe, you created your own religion. it takes courage to even hold on to that faith.

but there is God. that is what i believe in right now. all the doubts and fears of his existence no longer lingers in my mind. belief in his existence was a default action etched in human beings because we are his creation. God made it plain to us to see so that we had no excuse not to believe in him.

My Idea Of Living Life

I live for a day...it is as if everyday is my birthday

Yesterday was gone and there in no way that i can ever go back....so the thought of regrets is just a waste of time.

I will never know what tomorrow may bring...it may or may not come. I know that tonight i can close my eyes but unsure if tomorrow i will wake up again.

So will just live today as if there is no tomorrow...as if i have no past because in reality what i can really hold on to is just this day.

So try to learn more today
Be more grateful that this day came
Be more honest
Be more kind
Forgive easily
Give more chances
Laugh, smile, and cry more
Love more
Know God
...Because you don't know if you can do it again tomorrow

Balitang Baganueno

I must admit. When I first got here in Batangas, it was a culture shock. I grew up in Manila (in a Cebuano family) but by the age of 11 I moved here. Grabe sa lakas ng boses kung kausapin ka ng mga ito, which at first I got so scared kasi kala ko pinapagalitan nila ko lagi. Well matagal ko bago ko nalaman normal na iyon sa kanila when I am being tagged along sa mga bukid ng Batangas. Plus what a word!!! Kala mo if marunong ka magTagalog alam mo na, well marami kang words na maririnig sa kanila never mo pa narinig. Hmmm, medyo alanganin ako sabihin un kasi I was raised in a family of Bisayans kaya meron talaga words na di ko maintindihan. I'm confused if that's because Bisaya ako or malalim na Tagalog na talaga ang sinsabi nila.

Pero masarap pakinggan. Dami mo pwede matutunan, bukod sa accent nila. It is like ang mga Batangueno ay mga walking Tagalog Dictionary. =)

Eto basahin ng inam ang mga interview ng Media sa mga Batangueno (kinda cute actually)

1. Airplane Crashes in Batangas
-----------------------------------

Tinanatanong ng reporter ang testigo sa pag crash ng eroplano sa Malapad na Parang, Lobo, Batangas

Media: Manong, paki describe nga ho ng airplane crash.

Mamay: Tinatangla ko laang ang buwig na sabang malapit ko nang tibain ay nasiglawan ko ang usok na pasirok ang dating.

Media: Ano ho ba ang una ninyong nakita?

Mamay: Aba'y una nga'y pasirok, maya-maya'y nagbatirok sumunod ay pairok-irok. Iyunnnn, ay di saka sumalpok tapos ang katapusa'y sumabog!

Media: Ano ho?!?!?

MEDIA: 'Sensya na po sa abala.

LOLO: Ako'y naka-ungkot laang dine at karakaraka'y ako'y nagitla sa busina. May mag-inang hasing-hasi pa ng paghihikap ay gab-eng gab-e na! Bakin ga aring dyip ay saksakan ng tulin??? Ay di ako'y palakat na sa mag-inang di naiingli! Aba'y maiipit na'y naka-umis pa! Kainaman. Hayown!
