"Zamboanga has FALLEN"



Kapatid sa Kapatid
Dugo sa Dugo
Isang bansa, magkakapamilya,
Naglalaban-laban.

Walang pakialam sa mangyayari,
Basta't gusto nila ay magwagi.
Maraming nadadamay,
Gaya ng mga batang walang kamalay-malay.

Putukan, Bombahan, Sunugan at Sigawan,
Ang maaari mong marinig sa gitna ng labanan.
Kanya-kanyang paninindigan,
Parang hindi magkapatid ang turingan.

Gobyerno laban sa taong armado,
Ang palaging nangyayari sa bansang ito.
Hanggang kailan matatapos ang kaguluhang ito?
Hangga't mapuno na ng dugo ang buong pulo?

Sana ang iniisip niyo ang madadamay na tao,
Hindi puro sariling gusto.
Ramdam namin ang hinanaing niyo,
Pero wag sanang abutin sa kamatayan ng tao.

Kalungkutan, Pighati o Iyakan,
Ang makikita sa mukha ng mamamayan.
Dasal ng Dasal, para mahinto ang labanan,
Tinatawag na ang ngalan ng DIYOS upang hiling ay matawaran.

Walang alam kung kailan matitigil ang digmaan,
Walang sinuman ang gustong sumuko sa labanan.
Pati mga armadong tao di susuko sa gobyerno,
Ubusan na ng bala, pagkain at porsyentong manalo.

Sana matigil na ang sakripisyong ito,
Wag nang paabutin na ang DIYOS ang pumarusa sa inyo.
Hangga't maaga pa, Hangga't may oras pa,
Itigil na, putulin na ang samaan ng loob sa isa't-isa.

"What Friends Are For?"


I got STRONGER!
I couldn't have done it by myself
I'm super thankful
that we came across each other.

A giant wall is in front of us
blocking our path
Even then, we'll never turn our backs away
Go forward to reach the goal with our friends

Nothing's impossible as long as I'm with everyone
My passionate samurai soul is like a flash of lightning
Calling the goddess's names
That's what I feel, when everyone's here.

Problems stabbed me at my back
Life isn't over yet
I couldn't help but shout
But everyone patted my shoulders for me.

I felt awkwardly embarrassed
so I couldn't say it
"THANK YOU"
I'm super thankful for our bonds!!!

Reflection of Nanking Store

                         Nanking Store

                           by: Macario D. Tiu

    Family is composed of mother, father and their child or children. Family is cannot be called as family without the presence of the sons and daughters. The story of Nanking Store is all about the obstacles of the family.

   The story starts when Peter and Linda decided to have a family. Linda has a problem of her reproductive organ. She cannot give birth. That's why after all the happiness within their family change to sadness because of that problem of Linda in giving birth. It bring shame to Peter and Linda and also the family side of Peter. although having a child completes the family but there are many ways to have a baby. Even though there are problems on having a baby, the family should stick together to make some move for the sake of the family and not sacrificing your family to have a child. 

   For me, I disagree when Peter having intercourse of other woman just to have a baby. I'd rather suggest that Peter must do something, like in vitro fertilization and adopts a baby. The family must treasure every single happiness they made....
