Kalpasan Naunday a Tawen

2011-03-12T09:55:00.001-08:00

Aglumoten ti singgalot

Nangbegkes ayan-ayat

Nga uray kasano kapigsat' apres

Ti ayus ti karayan ti biag

Ket saanyo intulok a mapugsat,

ketdi lallalo pay a pinakidser nepnep ti lua

Ken pudot iti kalgaw ti rigat

Nga inkayo nagbuligan.

Awan sardayna a pannaripato

Ti inpaayyo iti belo a nangbalkot

Pinagmaymaysa puso ken riknayo

Ta uray no dadduma adda man umapay

A sagursor wenno puris a mangdadael

Simbeng ken linay ti panagdennayo

Ngem diyo intulok a marakrak -

Mapisang iti uray kasano kadawel

Nga aplaw ti kapigsaan a bagyo.

Wen, main-inuten nga agregregreg

Dagiti masagsaginnit nga aggango

A bulbulongyo ngem agsaringit latta

Ti sarantat’ kaungganyo a mangbuybuya

Kadagiti nalalangto ken lumanglangto pay

A saringit a nagdaludal manipud sakloloyo.

Angaw kadi pay aya ti nagdaliasatan

Ti kagudua dekada a panagdennayo?

Marukod kad’ pay dagiti lingling-et ken lulua

Rimsua panangtagibenyo ti karin-kari

Inmaldityo iti maysa ken maysa

A taripatuenyo ti maysa ken maysa

Iti rigat ken nam-ay

Sanguanan ti altar ti Apo a Namarsua

Singkuenta a tawenen ti napalabas?

Dawatmi lang a saringityo

At-atiddog pay a biag, kired ken salun-at

Tapno dakami pay ti maatibayyo

Ken kadakayo maipaaymi met ti ayat-pannagibi

A sinagrapmi bayat panagubingmi

Nga inkayo kaniami panangmuli

Tapno madanunmi ti ita pagtaktakderanmi.

Adu a lua ti inkay inbubos

Tapno dakami ti mapadakkelyo

Ngem ala sapay ta naragsakkayon

A makakitkita nagbanbanaganmi nga annakyo

Agraman kaingungotmi ken appoko

(malaksid kaniak, hehehe).

1.
Lagidawek unay uliteg ti inpapetpetmo a dapo
Ken pinangperresmo lulonan toy ulo;
Ta gandatmo idi mayanakak kanu a tagibi
Ton dumakkelak naamonto kaniak lames ken babbai,
Ngem kitaem ita banag toy kaanakam a tarantado.

2.
No agpaypayso man ti inuugma a pammatim
Adda yamanko ngem adda met innak kenka panagalumiim
Ta apay ngamin a kastoy kalokoan nga inaramidmo?
Tatta siakon ti linipat da Tatang ken Nanangko.
Talekda kaniak isu pay ngatat’ maisublim?

3.
Uliteg saan laeng a dayta ti kenka pilawek
Ta pati arak siak ti sinuruam nga inwawek;
Kunam idi ubingak a saan a dakes ti uminom
Turongna la ketdi tiyan saan a dita ulom,
Ngem ita kitaem banagko ngipenkon ti natumek.

4.
Lipatenka koma metten nga uliteg
Ngem ay-ayatenka met a kas panagayatda kadaytoy lateg;
Ngem ala ammok saan pay naladaw ti amin,
Ngem tandaanam no rumuarto apokom ken ni kasinsin
Perres ken dapo isunto met aramidek.

Dios kenkat' kumuyog (pammakada ken panagyaman kenka grace)

2010-11-25T18:27:00.000-08:00

Lunagen pammakada kilnet puso
Ket agsapri ti lua iti sagumaymay ti biagko
Gaput’ pannakawarwar tunggalit’ karinkari
Pinaglantip ayan-ayatta
A kasla idi awan patinggana.

Itan mapisangen ti belo
A nangsallukob nagmaymaysa a pusota
Mapugsat itan ti kuerdas
A namagsilpo kadagiti angesta
Nagkuykuyog a kimmalkalay-at iti alimpatok ti ayat.

Bay-anta ngarud a dagiti lua
Depdependan ti apoy
A nangted silaw ken bara
Kadagiti napnuan sipnget a rabii
A nagmaymaysata.

Itedko kenkan ti pammalubos
Tapno nawayakan nga agpasag iti sabali
Ket saanko ketdi a degdegan pay dagensenmo.
Ta no kasanot’ kinadugos nga iturong ti ayat
Ket kastat’ karigat met nga iwaksit’ maysa ken maysa.

Pagyamanak ti ayat ken dungngom
Nga uray puro apges ken saem ti inpapaayko
Ket puro ayat pay laeng ti inka insubsubad.
Tagikuaenka koma ngem ammok saankan a naragsak
Ta ammok awan karbengak tapno ipagelko kenka dayta a banag.

Diakto pulos malipatan awan kapadana nga ayatmo
Ket kail-iliwkonto unay dagiti napnuan ayat a kinatangsitmo.

Ikkannak ti kired ken tured (tapno umadayoak kenka grace)

2010-11-25T18:25:00.000-08:00

Sul-oyen lattat’ ladingit
Dagiti nabatbati a ragsak
Ket sagrapek lattat' saem
Itden limdo dagiti pasamak.

Diak ammo no kabaelak pay
Umaddang tapno rugiak manen ti magna
Ta agtigerger dagiti tumengko
Malmesak kadagiti agarimaya a lulua.

Wen, ta umapay latta ti apges
Tunggal rugiak ti umadayo
Lapunosenna agintutured a ragsak
Guyodennat' imatang tapno tumaliawak latta kenka.

Ana kad ti rumbeng nga aramidek?
Bay-ankan kunak ngem maruros met ti pasnek
Tunggal gay-atek ti umaddang ket agaruyot ti lua
Malmes ti tured tapno surotek ti yar-arasaas ti panunot.

Wen, ta inyegmo dagiti naririmat a bituen
A nangsilnag iti nasipnget a lubongko
Pinatibkernak ti ayat, dungngo ken pannaripatom
Pinabilegnak tapno yaddangko manen dagiti dapan.

Ita linikmutnakon ti kapoy ken buteng
Narukopen dagiti kired ken tured nga inyegmo.
Ta kinibinnak idi tapno duata ti umaddang
Ngem ita solokon ti umaddang tapno umadayo kenka.

Yester-ME

2010-10-22T16:00:00.000-07:00

I always want to go back home

Home where I always long to be.

But I can’t take the usual me with me

For I am not anymore the man I used to be.

Yes, I miss the man I was that I used to be

But not the man I can’t be that they expect me to be.

I am not anymore the man who you wanted me to be

But I am now what time made me.

Please accept me for being me now

Because things weren’t like they were before anymore.

Just like today, it won’t anymore be today tomorrow

But it will be yesterday.

Tomorrow is another day but not the same as today.

Just like me, the usual me is not me anymore me – it’s yester-ME.

The truth is - I’m not anymore who you wanted me to be.

Can you still accept me for being me?

Back to School

2009-09-15T11:37:00.001-07:00

After three long years that I was out of school doing stuff to continue surviving, I found myself dreaming again and looking back at my goals that I set aside eversince I failed my Bar Examination last September 2006.

'Sexsomnia' made in Canada'

2009-07-08T23:40:00.000-07:00

I found a good article helpful for those people addicted with the pleasure of flesh. Take a look at this article I found:

'Sexsomnia' made in CanadaPosted Tue, Jul 07, 2009

This week, Jan Luedecke the Toronto landscaper who was acquitted in 2005 for sexually assaulting a woman because he was sound asleep at the time of the assault, was scheduled to appear before a panel to determine if he should have any long-term restrictions on his freedom. Instead the panel ordered Luedecke undergo a 'full and complete risk assessment' before making their decision.

'Sexsomnia,' like insulin, five-pin bowling and the term 'cougar,' is a Canadian discovery. I first heard about it at a sexuality conference in Guelph several years ago when Dr. Paul Fedoroff, a forensic psychiatrist in Ottawa presented research suggesting that stress, chronic sleeplessness, or alcohol or drug abuse may lead a person to engage in sexual behaviour while sound asleep.

The research, which Fedoroff completed with co-researchers Dr. Colin Shapiro and Dr. Nik Trajanovic of the University of Toronto first appeared in 1996 in a paper called 'Sexsomnia - A New Parasomnia?' that was published in the Canadian Journal of Psychiatry in June 2003.
It was good timing for Luedecke as it was the wee hours of house party in July 2003 when a woman woke up on the couch to find Luedecke having sex with her. He was found not criminally responsible for the assault because he was asleep at the time He testified that he had been overworked, overstressed, sleep-deprived, taken magic mushrooms and knocked back a whole bunch of booze, pretty much in line with Fedoroff et al's definition of 'sexsomnia.'
As bizarre as this all sounds, Luedecke's case is not the first.

In December of 2005, a British man was cleared of three counts of rape because he suffered 'sexsomnia' and wasn't conscious during the act. In August of 2007, a British mechanic was cleared of a rape charge after the jury found him not responsible for his actions when he had sex with a 15-year-old girl while asleep. And it's not just a guy thing. In 2004, an Australian woman was reportedly leaving her house at night and having sex with strangers while sleepwalking.
Any type of sleepwalking is rare, occurring in about 3% of children and young adolescents, and 0.5% of adults. According to research, 4% of adults who suffer from the condition carry out sexual behavior.

Luedecke's assessment, to be carried out at Centre for Addiction and Mental Health in Toronto, will be completed by Aug. 28. Based on this, the panel can then decide whether or not he should be committed to hospital, or to place certain conditions on his release such as refraining from drug or alcohol use.

What do you think? Do you thing 'sexsomnia' is a legitimate defense against sexual assault?

Calgary Stampede 2009 Memories

2009-07-04T23:21:00.001-07:00

T'was called the Lilydale's LUCKY 9

Photo taken 4 July 2009 - (from bottom to top - left to right)

Jojo, Baby Grace, Gladys, Mar, Marvelyn, Sherwin and Sam

overlooking the bright and beautiful downtown of City of Calgary (highlighting the "City's gigantic tower" and the Calgary Flame's home court "The Saddledome")

------------------http://www.ampitz.blogspot.com/----------------------

Several months ago, this group's friendship bond was so closed that we never thought that it will come to an end and nobody even foresee that this will happen but for a reason or another that I may personally know but not everybody in the group, others were not talking to each other anymore and that's the beginning of chaos or I call it "The Fall of Lucky 9".

It's the reality anyway. Nothing really stays compact as it is from the start, change will always come and that's maybe why they say that "the only constant thing in this world is change".

Reminiscing those moments when this group was still as close as they were, I can't stop myself but to sigh. How I wish I can bring back those good times back again.

And if ever I am the reason why we came to this situation for doing not a single a thing, I apologize for the entire group.

Lilydale's Lucky 9

The lucky 9's. From top to bottom: Sherwin, Marvelyn, Kuya Sam, Ate Gladys, Jojo, Baby Grace, Manang Daisy, Manong Romie and Manong Mar.

"From all walks of life we came together

Bound by the spirit of camaraderie

Tangled with the knot of friendship

Affirmed by the toss of wine and beer."

-ampitz

Not everyone has a good story to tell. A real good story. That's why I consider myself lucky because today I got a friendship story to tell. About a group of nine people, we call ourselves as LUCKY 9, and from our faces you could see the reason why we are bound together as BARKADA. We share the same smile...we share the same laugh, chuckle and giggle...and we share the same WINE and BEER.

A friendship that no one knows its boundary. Neither one of us knows when will it end. Maybe when there will be no more beer and whisky for sale in town. Let me clear some cloud in the air. We are not drunkard, we just enjoy the night being together with the presence and spirit of beer and wine.

Exhibit 1-A: Lucky 9's drinking Kokanee Beer, the smooth Canadian Blend Rocky Mountain Beer.

We sing...we dance...we laugh...we enjoy ourselves together until the night is over. When we're together we become careless...we fly...we don't care...we have no worries at all...we forget everything...we forget about work. And this is our own way of relaxing ourselves from the bondage of work's stress. This is our own unique way of escaping from the real world. And when we are TOGETHER...when we are in our own world...we find HOME...we become FAMILY.

Exhibit 1-B: Lucky 9's dancing time.

Ottawa: A Visit to Canada's Seat of Government

2008-11-25T09:23:00.001-08:00

In my desperate thirst in trying to learn and understand the Government of Canada, (although others claimed that "no one can ever understand the Government of Canada"), I found myself standing atop the Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada where the famous Parliament Buildings are found.

Together with my sister we went through a guided tour inside the Parliament Building where you can find the Chamber/Halls for the House of Commons and the House of Senate.

Canada's Government follows the so-called Bicameral System of Government consisting the "lower house" or the "House of Commons" and the "upper house" or the "Senate". According to the Ms. Meredith (tour guide), the lower house or the House of Commons has 308 seats representing the people from entire nation, while, the Senate got a total of 105 members appointed by the Governor General on the advice of the Prime Minister.

Members of the lower house/commons were democratically elected body and they have limited term of holding their public office up to five years. Each member represents one electoral district of Canada or so-called "ridings".

Canada's House of Senate's Member came from all walks of life. A member might be a Hockey player, an artists, a teacher, etc. Previously, once they become a senator they remain as a member of the Senate until they die, but, the new rule as of now is that they remain as a senator until they retire at the age of 75.

[The Chamber/Hall for the House of Commons. Notice and compare the Chamber of Commons to the Senate, Commons got a green benches while the Senate Chamber got a red benches.]

[The Chamber/hall for the House of Senate in red benches.]

Aegis and Andrew E. Live Concert in Calgary!

2008-11-15T21:38:00.003-08:00

Caught on the live concert of Aegis and Andrew E. at Stampede Corral, Calgary, Canada last November 14, 2008.
_________________www.ampitz.blogspot.com

I did find this as funny experience (as I find him very funny) because I myself came from the Philippines and I grew up in the Philippines idolizing this guy but it happened that I only met him here in ABROAD.

I'm talking about Andrew Espiritu popularly known in the Philippines and in the whole world as well, as ANDREW E. who came out from the unknown after his first hit single and film "HUMANAP KA NG PANGET".

What made him so famous is his being comedian and his story-telling rap style. He got an amazing 28 comedy film that really had hit the major theatres in the Philippines.

Last November 14, 2008 Andrew E. together with the AEGIS Band were here in Calgary, AB for a LIVE Concert at the Stampede Corral.

Winter 2008 First Snow Fall

2008-11-05T06:52:00.000-08:00

Caught on frame is the first snow fall of winter 2008.

Most of us hates the lovely snow. I used to say "I wish summer would be forever...", but when the first snow fall comes and the lovely glare of the white snow flooded the entire place, I just can't stop myself but to get my camera and start taking pictures and amazed with this lovely creation of the great Man up above.

Photography and poetry alike...

2008-10-13T21:11:00.000-07:00

_________________www.ampitz.blogspot.com
Becasue of my love to POETRY and PHOTOGRAPHY I was thinking one day how these two fields are interrelated to each other. Then I came out with this statement, "photography is just like poetry, if a POEM, can depict a beautiful image, then a PICTURE can paint a thousand words, too."

To make them together I came out with a term "POETOGRAPHY "showing POETRY and PHOTOGRAPHY intertwined to each other.

I got some pictures that I took and shared at http://www.photolaureates.com/ and let the viewers and other members review them, just like what we do in http://www.iluko.com/ where we post our poems, short stories and everything under literature and let the readers react and review them with the intention that the artwork will be criticized and the ability of the author will be more developed. Photolaureates have the same goal, too.

Here are some of the pictures and some of the comments they gained from http://www.photolaureates.com/:

Picture Title: Calgary Sunset

Date Submitted: August 30, 2008

My Comment: Sunset in the midst of the summer makes the Calgary City's (Alberta) Western sky so beautiful with its majestic orange color. I'm just very lucky I caught in frame.

Reviewer's Comments:

(1) Great shot. Excellent composition, Excellent sharpness. Excellent tones. Beautiful picture. I would love your opinion on my pictures, thanks -Pavel2426;

(2) very beautiful sunset, i love the varying shades of orange throughout this photo and the sun being slightly off center.marianne - emtee656;

(3) good shot with your exposure to show the profile of the sun.Would like to see whole cloud on left edge frame.Wait a few more minutes and the sun can be resting on the needle from the building. OH NO!.. will the sun Pop? -croc;

(4) You are right about the deep orange glow, I like the halo effect around the sun, nice silhouette of the skyscrapers.Roy6247.... -roy6247;

(5) Beautiful photo Sherwin and welcome to Photo Laureates. Sunset and silohettes are superb. Thanks for sharing.. Lisa -Lisa7586;

(6) very nice shot, love the colors and the city brings everything together. thanks for sharing. Brenda - Brenda1290;

(7) Very nice silhouette of the city. Nice capture of the sun setting. Thanks for sharing. -sasha1389;

(8) I adore orange and was immediately drawn to this lovely shot. So dramatic and beautiful. -D.8723;

(9) great sunset shot. love the colors that you captured along with the silhouette of the city. wonderful work -nikkiggrrl.

Picture Title: The Boat, the Sea and the Kids

Date Submitted: August 31, 2008

My Comment: A lonely boat caught on one of her lonesome moments. If I were only a boat then I would surely give her a company.

Reviewer's Comments:

(1) Nice shot. Empty yet full. Telling a life's story of a family and a boat without saying much at all. Your photo holds a beautiful composition. Thanks for sharing.. Lisa -Lisa 7586;

(2) I like this picture. It is the kind you can make up a story in your head to. Very interesting! -Candace5571;

(3) The kids give the boat a reason to be photographed and add considerable interest to the pix. I too would crop top and bottom, abandoning the "little information" portions of the image, and placing the story as the focal point of a panoramic photo. Dick -Zambezi;

(4) The only improvements I can suggest ito crop from the top and from the bottom to get the boat nearer tio the viewer. It is original and artistic. Nice composition -longaray2.

Picture Title: Reverse Side of Religion

Date Submitted: September 27, 2008

My Comment: Sometimes when the wind blows so hard, even the most firm religion can be blown away and tumbled down. But it doesn’t matter, keep your faith in HIM.

Comments of Reviewer:

(1) This is very interesting. I am notsure how you got it, but this is a great example of being in the right place at the right time. I am not sure if you got it jsut blowing over since there is no wind in the trees in the picture. So HOW? thanks much for sharing and good luck. Cheryl -Cheryl7283;

(2) Boy, could someone have fun making up titles for this (religion on shaky ground, heading for hell, the lighter side of religion, etc.)! Very interesting shot. How is it that the church balanced on its top? Was this built this way just to get attention? The exposure is nice, with blue sky and good clarity. TED -Joseph1875;

(3) interesting sculpture. in what looks almost to be an industrial area. your have some stark lighting on the front but it doesnt detreact from this very interesting portrait. -Connie3107;

(4) This is cool, is it mounted there? Or was it falling over when you took the picture? -Wendy8570;

(5) Wow How . what .when .were .DangitGreat shot please more about this great photoWell done Thanks for sharing -Buddy;

(6) Wow! This really is an interesting shot. How on earth did you encounter such a weird moment!? It really is a nice shot of a candid moment, too bad the church had to get blown away for the shot though. Thanks for sharing. -Jennifer1381.

Hope you somehow see how poetry and photography are interrelated or similar to each other.

Iti panangsapsapulkot’ kaimudingan

Ken kinasiasinok iti daytoy a biag

Naimayengak a nangan-anninaw

Kadagiti nalipatanen a dana

Nga iti naminsan nagnagnaak

Nangted liwliwa ken ragsak kaunggak.

Iti garbo dagiti sabsabong a naimatangak

Nalipatak payen kinapudno ti agdama

Ket nakipagbiagak kadagiti naikupinen a napalabas

Ngem adda maysa a naidumduma nga awag

Nangriing kaniak iti kaltaang ti pannakailibay

Ket inyarasaasna nga awan banagek nga agbibiag

No agbiagak iti anniwan ti naglabas.

Timmangadak iti naarkusan kadagiti bituen

A tangatang ket pinerrengnak ti nakaisem a bulan

Minurmurayannak ti palayupoy ti kinapudno

A nasaysayaat a nanamekon sam-it kinaagdama

Ta adda Mannakabalin a kired ken bagnos

A mangranraniag dalan nga agturong

Iti nasin-aw a masakbayan.

Wen, anninawakto latta ti bubon ti napalabas

Ngem saanakton nga agnaed iti salinongna.

Bubon ti Napalabas

2008-09-09T03:39:00.000-07:00

Luktak ti nabayagen a narikpan a bubon ti kalman

Ket ayamuomek ti naullom a sang-aw nalipatanen a bigat

Tan-awak ti nalit-aw a danum ti nalukiben a pinanid

Ket napnuan gagar a tawingek ti nalikudak a panawen

Tapno idigosko iti mawaw unayen ken lagip a derrep.

Ta no kabalinak koma a sukiren

Ti pannagna ti oras ken panawen

Ket pagbannawagek ti init iti bandat’ laud

Tipdek komat’ pannakabilang dagiti tawen;

Ngem aggunay dagiti bigat ken malem

Aglabas dagiti aldaw ken rabii

Ket kas danum ti agus ti panawen

Ket dinto kabalinan a pengdan

A lumned iti barukong ni Apo Daga

Ket sam-it dagiti pasamak ti naglabas

Matawingto laengen iti bubon ti napalabas.

Wen, no kabalinak laeng koma nga igalot

Pannagnat' napardas nga oras ken kanito

Ket pagtalinaedek lattan dagiti imbag ken ragsak

Ngem dumteng met lattat’ danum ti kinapudno

Ket paggunayenna lattat’ ayus ti panawen

Ket di maigawid ti idadateng manen

Sabali a tawen a mangkitikit kinatao

Ket diakton kabaelan pay nga isublit’ kinaubing

No di ket anninawakto lattan iti bubon ti napalabas.

Kenka Dayag ti Hustisya

2008-09-07T21:35:00.000-07:00

Kabulon ti puyat, lua, ken sakripisyo
Ti napasnek a kararag nga awan sardayna
Ti puonak tapno innak laeng masirayan
Silap dagiti kampilan ti linteg nga iggem
Ti nasidap a makannawan nga imam;
Ket di mabilang a dangadang linasatko
Maipaneknekko laeng kenkat’ siglat
Tadem ti kampilan met nga armasko
Tapno awatennak nga adipen iti armadam.

Inusarkon ared-ed ti kabaelan ken pigsa
Nagtedteden ti natda a ling-et ken dara
Malasatko laeng desdes a naunday ken nasamek
Agturong kalkalikagumak unay a sadiam
Ket makipagbiagak pagtimbangan ti Hustisya
A petpet ti napudno a kannigid nga imam.

Wen, Dayag ti Hustisya adtoyak kenka nga agruknoy
Ket sapay ta matmatannak kad’ kadagita naabungotan a matam.

Rosaska iti Agnanayun

2008-08-31T21:25:00.000-07:00

Kas panagsulbod dagiti mulmula ken sabsabong
Idi dimmatengka idi tiempot’ panagsulbod (Spring)
Nagrusingka manen kadagiti imatangko
Ket isem kadagiti bibigko pinagbukarmo manen
Ket agingga ita ta petalo ken bulbulong ti agtinnagen (Fall)
Nakalanglangto pay laeng lagipkot’ isemmo.

Kayatko nga agnanayon a mabuybuyak
Dagiti isemmo a murmuraykot’ bigbigat
Ngem ti panagbaliw ti panawen ken tiempo
Ket saan a kabalinan dagiti binatogko
A pengdan panangyagos kenkat’ panawen
Ket matdaakto nga agur-uray manen idadatengmo.

Diak ammo no isemmot’ maimatangakto pay
Inton agtunaw manen dagiti niebe (Snow)
Ngem mangnamnamaak nga inton sumaruno
Nga agrusing manen dagiti sabong ken bulbulong
Addakanto manen a sarungkarak iti bigat a makariingak
Ket punasemto liday a kinabuligkot' bayat kaawanmo.

Wen, Rosaska a nangkayaw kaniak idi panagsusulbod

Ket agtalinaedkanto a Rosasko iti ana man a tiempo ken panawen.

Pul-oy,
Iliwko idiay balay

Yanginmo man

Tapno lua ken gagarko

Maikkat a maminpinsan.

Ta no saan koma

A dungngot’ inpananamda kaniak

Nalaka laeng komat manglipat

Ta awan koman segga ken iliw

Nga ita luluaak.

Apo Init,

Ikuyogmo man ala

Iti inka ilelennek

Iti pungto ti baybay

Dagitoy lua ken seggak

Tapnu siakon tay sinaandan.

Ta sutil met ngamin

Ni kabus a Bulan

Ta ipalagipna laeng

Lagip sardam a kaaddak

Sidong ti pamilyak

Nga ita sangsangitak.

Ay, bituen!

Riknak man ketdit' ay-aywem

Ep-epem man sanaang

Ditoy pusok umukuok

Tapno mailiwliwagko

Iliw a nairot.

Ta nagrigat ngamin

A riknaen ti kastoy,

No mapadasam la koma

Ti umadayo ken tangatang

Ket mariknam met

Kasasaadko ita.

Wen, ta naulpit ti lipat

Di la sumangbayen.

Ngem bituen no mariknamto

Ti riknat’ maiyadayo,

Umaykanto ditoy sidongko

Ta duatanto ti aginnay-ayo.

Far away...crazily missing home...tears flowing down from your eyes.

A poem that was written while I was far away from home for my Bar Examination Review last September 2006 in the City of Manila, Philippines.

Agayatak Kenka Samtoy

2008-08-25T07:13:00.000-07:00

Kasla am-ammangaw dagiti kanito
A makilanglangka iti nasutil a pluma
Ta awan sabali a maaramidan no di agkur-it
Iti masansan awan kaes-eskanna a kapanunotan
A dagullitento manen a mulenglengan-imutektekan
Ket sumaren ken padasemto latta nga abelen
Dagiti agsasallupang ken di maaw-awatan a balikas
Nga agburburayok iti maul-ulaw a muging.

Masansan masarakam ti bagim a mangsipsipot
Kadagiti banag a di mailadawan ti nasimbeng
A panunot; dumdumngeg iti deppaas ti angin
Ket tunggal tukodem nga amirisen ti isawsawangna
Ket agtunglabka a mangdanun kaipapanan
Ti wagis dagiti bulbulong nga ar-arasaasan ti palayupoy;
Ket no mabalin ket agsublikan iti simbeng
Ti panunot; ngem tunggal gay-atam ti tumakdang
Ket alupennakanto manen ti plumam
Ket agdanggaykayto manen nga agsala
Tapno imutektekanyo dagiti liriko a nakakur-it
Iti musika nga idaydayyeng ti angin.

Wen, narikut a nasam-it ti makipagbiag iti salonan ni Samtoy
Ngem adda itdenna a ragsak ti kaunggan ken simbeng ti panunot.

Gumawgawawa Ken Ayat

2008-08-23T08:24:00.000-07:00

Dagiti binatogmo a pasig a parparato

A parparaipusan isemmo a mangyaw-awan

Buriburennat’ tagainep a nangbalud

Agmalmalatimat a masakbayan iti saklot panagtuok.

Iti payapay ken pakada ti palayupoy

Naimaldit binatog ni pakaasi ken unnoy

Saning-i a gumawgawawat’ dungngo ken duoy
A kabulignat’ ayug – panagsagaba nga agruknoy.

Iti baet dagiti dalluyon, ti init agpakpakada
Ket ammok, ti ayug duayyaan panagsagaba

In-inut inna lemmessen, inna idan itanem

Ket iti bannawag baro nga agsapa inna idateng.

Daklis ti Agdadamo a Mannurat

2008-08-21T04:41:00.000-07:00

Isalogko maminsan pay iti tallaong

Daklis ti agdadamo a mannurat;

Gaudak biray ti plumak

Ket tarakek sinaludan a balikas.

Timunak ti bilog ti kinataok

Ket aglayagak iti mangliweng-liweng

A taaw da Saluyot ken Samtoy

A pangsaklawak pangen dagiti binatog.

Ta uray napigsa man aluyo ti dalluyon

Ti paay ken umsi a mangsabuag-mangpalned;

Gaudakto lattat’ plumak a mangsarakusok

Ket isangladko ti kinuribot-binubo nga obra.

Wen, isudat’ mangtubay kaniak nga agbalin a nakired

A mangngalap babaen iti pluma ni nanumo a mannurat.

Ayamuom ti Naglabas

2008-08-21T04:06:00.000-07:00

Pengdak koma nga ibugasan

Dagiti naglaon ken tignay

Ngem unnoy met ti iyibit ti rikna,

Ta di malibak a nasair manen

Ngalay ti kaunggan.

Wen… ta ti pannakasay-opko manen

Iti ayamuom nga iti naminsan

Nangted rag-o ditoy pusok

Ket mariknak a sumuknor manen ni essem

Ket kuriruenna laeng simbeng panunotko.

Ngem sukiren met ti kinapudno

Ket ipalagipna laeng ti kinaagdama.

Ta ti pegges ti darikmat

Ket pilitenna a yagus ni kalikagum

Ket diakon matukod a panunuten

No dinnod’toy ayankon a disso.

Addaak pay kadi dati a pagtaktakderak

Wenno nagsubliak iti linipatkon a naglabas?

Disso ni Naglabas

2008-08-21T04:00:00.000-07:00

Rugiak manen nga iyaddang

Agsarsarimaddeng a dapan

Ket padasek a daliasaten manen

Nawatiwat - nasamek daladal ni naglabas.

Wen, tontonek iti maminsan pay

Lugar ni ayat nga dati nagtaengak

Nakaitallimengan nalalangto a sabsabong

Nga iti naminsan nangkayaw kaunggak

Nangted ragsak agmalmalatimat nga ayat.

Sublianak a sangbayan

Taeng naubing a puso

Disso nga naaladan ken pateg

Paraangan da ilala ken dungngo,

Tapno lipatek kinapudno ni agdama

Ket agnaedak manen ken naglabas

Iti sidong natarnaw-nalangto

A minuyongan ni kalman.

Reflections of Me

Calgary, Alberta, CA

Trying to communicate with the lovely moon.

Soft - yet not yielding; Firm - yet not hard...that's the true gung fu man...(Bruce Lee)

Fly like a bird...settle down like a withered leaf.

Welcome!

Come join me in my simple lonely world of poetry and photography trying to express the unspoken words and to capture the unseen.

I fell in love with photography because when I held my camera i begin to see things like what Lee Frost once told that other people miss because they are blinded by familiarity.

On the other hand, I was sucked into the vortex of the swirling world of poetry holding my pen thinking that I can make the whole world think with the drop of my bloody ink.

Poetry and Photography are however intertwined to each other. POEM can depict the most beautiful picture and a PICTURE can paint a thousand words.

Let's then paint a canvass of poetry and photography!
