It takes two to tango nga ba, o ano?

It takes two to tango nga ba, o ano?by mybuhay.multiply.com (mark see)

it takes two to tango raw, sabi ng marami. kung iisipin mo, oo nga naman, paano ka magtatango ng mag-isa. ang lungkot noon, hindi ba? mukha ka pang timang. isa pa, tango is a social dance, kung sasayaw ka rin lang mag-isa, magbreak dance ka na lang. parang tao, human is a social being. mahirap para sa tao na hindi makisalamuha sa kapwa, lalo na kung madaldal na tulad ko. mapapanis ang laway. mahirap kasi natura na na makisocialize. parang buhay, mas masarap mabuhay at maglakbay 'pag may kasama. iyong tipong hindi ka nag-iisa. habang naglalakad, may kakwentuhan ka, may kasabay sa pagkanta, may katawanan, at marami pang iba na hindi naman nating pwedeng isa-isahin dito dahil may kanya-kanyang kawirdohan ang bawat isa. bawat magkasama.

ang problema lang, madalas, parang nagiging tug-of-war, rope pulling, nagiging sport na naglalaban ng lakas. halos hindi na nagbibigayan na to the point na 'pag bumitaw ang isa, malalaglag ang isa, and vice versa, kasi natuto na silang maging dependent sa isa't isa. actually, ayos lang naman sana kung walang bibitaw. magiging mahirap, mamamalat ang mga palad mo, mapapagod ka, pero hangga't walang sumusuko, hangga't walang bumibitaw, tuloy lang ang buhay. tuloy lang ang laro, at walang malalaglag.

mas maganda sana kung give and take. hindi kayo naghihilaan kundi nagbibigayan. kung sa right, sa right kayo. kung sa left, sa left. para kayong nagsesway, naggaglide gracefully. sa madaling sabi, kung sa math, para kayong complimentary angles. kung sa larong pambata, para kayong agawan base. lalabas ang isa at aarteng pain. hahabulin naman ng isa na nasa kabilang base. at dahil hahabulin siya, siya naman ang tatakbo upang makapagbase at siya uli ang hahabol. palitan lang. cycle nga, hindi ba? tulad din ng turo ng matatanda at hirayamanawari, ang buhay ay parang gulong, minsan nasa baba ka, minsan nasa taas. kung minsan may matataya, minsan may madadapa, pero ang mahalaga roon, ang aakay sa'yo ay ang nakatulak o nakataya sa'yo dahil siya ang malapit sa'yo. dahil sa pagkakataong iyon, hindi kayo magkalaban. kahit pa magkaiba kayo ng base, iisa lang ang laro ninyo. 

hindi tulad ng tug-of-war na 'pag binitawan ka, laglag ka sigurado. ang masama, o masakit, pa roon, hindi ka agad mapupuntahan ng kalaban mo dahil may tali pang naghihiwalay sa inyo. hindi natitigil ang laro hangga't hindi pa diredeklara ng referee. minsan talaga, mas masarap ang buhay-bata. walang referee, titigil ang laro kahit walang manalo, o kahit pa walang score. 

kaso, minsan, tuloy pa rin ang laro kahit may sugat na. kahit kumikirot, sige pa rin sa pagtakbo kasi ayaw mong matigil ang laro. masaya kasi.

so, it takes two to tango nga ba? halos nawala na tayo sa usapan. well, oo, siguro, mas madalas oo, huwag lang milonga ang ipalit dahil mas mabilis pa ito sa tango. hindi kasi maganda ang mabilis, nawawala ang essence--nawawala ang importance ng lahat ng bagay, nawawala ang details. iyon pa naman ang mahalaga--ang nagbibigay ganda sa buhay.

THESIS – EDUC 300

Lady Butterfly

Butterflies in my stomach, you disturb me
I'm taking this test in which I did not review
Mean, median, standard dev, variance, z-scores
What the fudge is this percentile ranking I see?
If only I did not waste time crying last night
I could have avoided this regret I'm feeling
No way I'm gonna fail 'cause I'm a Math major
I know I studied this in the undergrad course
Come on butterflies, get out of my stomach
I have to finish this as I have to meet her
She texted me this morning asking to meet up
And I did not ignore for I have a reason
That lady was the reason I cried yesterday
The reason why I was not able to review

Desiderata

DESIDERATA by Max Ehrmann

Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs;
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.

All it takes is guts

You'll reach a point where everything does not fall into the way you wanted them to be. When you're like me, you'd think of giving up and just sit in the corner of a room and think of life's misery. Today, it's our enrollment in the graduate school. I'm not even sure if I have a future waiting for me after all the failures I had but I believe all it takes is guts. This is the first step - this summer classes. The next step is somewhere at the left side of my blind spot. I have to face it. So here we go kiddo.
