Kalpasan Naunday a Tawen

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).

Dios kenkat' kumuyog (pammakada ken panagyaman kenka grace)

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)

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.

Siak ken ti Baro nga Agsapa

Gagemko unay iti agawiden Claveria

Agsubli Oh, lugar a timmanuran ken nakayanakan

Ngem piman maikariak pay ngata nga agsubli kenka?

Ta ti kinapudnona saanen a siak daydi dati a siak.

Wen, kailiwko daydi dati a siak

Ngem saan a ti dati a kayatmo a pagbalinak

Ta saanen a siak daydi dati a siak

Ngem siakon ti nangmulian ti panawen kaniak.

Awatennak kadi a Claveria

Ta dagiti banbanag ket saanen a kas iti dati

Adun ti namalbaliwan ti amin

Nagluposen daydi dati a patanormo.

Kas iti kinaagdama, inton sumuno nga aldaw saanen nga ita

Ngem ketdi maysan a naglabas a kalman.

Baro nga agsapa ngem sabalin a bigat

Kas kaniak, saanakon a kas iti dati – daydi dati a siak ket paseten ti napalabasko.

Ti kinaagpayso ket saanen a siak daydi kayatmo a pagbalinak.

Ngem maawatmo kad’ pay ti kinasiasinok ita nga agdama?

Yester-ME

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

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'

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

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.

"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.
