I was browsing through my files when I saw this poem I wrote last semester, a requirement for our Retorika subject (suddenly remembered Sir Eros Atalia!) :) So there.. I'll post and share :)
“Mga Kwerdas ng Gitara”
Anim na kwerdas na iba’t iba ang tunog
Ngunit pag tinugtog ng sabay-sabay, musika ang handog
Gitarang nagbibigay ng himig,
Gitarang nagbibigay kulay sa pag-ibig
Ito ang kasama sa kasiyahan
Karamay din sa kalungkutan
Bawat tunog nito ay mahalaga
Na sa puso ay tila nagpapaligaya.
Di inaasahan na isang araw, mga kwerdas ay mapipigtas
Tila lungkot at pagkawala ng pag-asa ang naipamalas
Kapag nawala ako, hindi ko alam kung sino yung mga pupunta sa libing ko. Gusto ko man makita, siyempre hindi na pwede. Okay na din yun, para di ko na din makita ang mga taong iiyak lalo na ang pamilya ko kung kunin man ako ni Lord.
Salamat kay Sir Ampil at binigyan niya ako ng pagkakataon na makarinig ng isang Eulogy na alay sa akin kung ako man ay mawala. Oo, requirement yung pag-gawa ng eulogy na ito para sa finals namin. Pero, habang pinapakinggan mo, mararamdaman mo kung gaano ka-sincere yung nagsulat lalo na't galing pa siya sa isa kong matalik na kaibigan, si Samae. :)
(Bago niyo basahin, patugtugin niyo to para mas maramdaman niyo. Haha: Kiss the Rain-Yiruma )
Eulogy:
"Sabi nila, mahirap daw makahanap ng true friend sa college. Kasi may kanya-kanya yang buhay, iba iba ang personalidad, interes at height at kadalasan, sa high school na makikita ang tunay na kaibigan. Kung makakahanap man daw ako ng kaibigan, panandalian lang, hindi magtatagal. Pero, nung nagkakilala kami nito at naging malapit sa isa't isa, unti-unti kong narealize na hindi naman pala totoo yun. Pinatunayan niya sa akin na hindi mahirap makahanap ng tunay na kaibigan sa college.
Nung una kong nakita tong babaeng to, sabi ko, uy si iCarly to ah! Ang cute cute niya, tapos friendly talaga siya. Simula noon, nakabuo kami ng isang grupo, pero sa kasamaang palad, hindi rin nagtagal, unti-unti kaming nalalagas. Pero siya, siya yung hindi nawala sa tabi ko. Lagi siyang nariyan at handang tumulong sa mga kaibigan niya kahit na minsan ay bigla-bigla siyang nawawala dahil ay isa rin siyang napaka-busyng tao bilang siya ay isa ring officer.
Siya yung laging nagpapalakas ng loob ko at sa kanya ko rin nakukuha ng encouragement sa tuwing nawawalan ako ng tiwala sa sarili. Sa madaling salita, binigyan niya ng kulay ang buhay ko.
Pero, paano na ngayon wala ka na? Wala ng tagapagsabi at tagapag-paalala sa akin ng mga dapat at hindi dapat gawin. Sino ang manlilibre sa akin ng pamasahe sa tuwing pinipilit mo akong makasabay sa jeep pauwi. Sino kkwentuhan ko sa tuwing may bago akong boylet?
Sabi mo, tuturuan mo pa akong mag-piano diba? :( Paano na? Mamimiss kita. Mamimiss ko yung mga kurot mo, mga kaharutan mo at ang pagkasadista mo. Mababawasan na ang pagka-irita gomez ko sa tuwing pinipilit mo ko sa isang bagay na ayaw ko naman. Pero alam ko namang nanglalambing ka lang. :((
Sobra ako nasasayangan at maaga ka kinuha ni Lord sa amin. hindi man lang ako nakapagpasalamat sayo Trish, at humingi ng tawad sa lahat ng pagkukulang ko saiyo bilangkaibigan at sa lahat ng pagkakataong nasasaktan at na-ooffend kita. Gayumpaman, mananatili ka lagi dito sa puso ko. Alam mo yan. Kaya kung nasaan ka man ngayon, alam kong nasa mabuti ka ng kalagayan at masaya ako para sayo. Sana lang kahit alam mong namimiss kita, huwag mo na kong bibisitahin ha. Please lang! Kami na lang bibisita sayo, kahit araw araw pa! Love you beb!"
-Samae Laurente
Nakakiyak no? Ang dami kong natutunan sa final exam namin na 'to. Ang daming realizations. Kaya habang may panahon pa, habang may pagkakataon pa, iparamdam mo na sa mga taong mahal mo kung gaano sila kahalaga sayo at kung gaano mo sila kamahal. Go na, itext mo na sila, bigyan mo sila ng mahigpit na yakap, or ikiss mo na mga magulang mo, kapatid mo, lola, lolo, lahat! Habang may panahon pa :) Magpasalamat ka na, o di kaya humingi ng tawad. Huwag mo na hintayin dumating ang panahon na magsisisi ka dahil di mo sila pinahalagahan nung andyan pa sila. :)
Huwag mo na hintayin na hanggang sa Eulogy mo na lang sasabihin ang mga nais mong malaman niya. :)
Sam! Maraming salamat sa eulogy na to beb. Kahit requirement 'to, alam kong you wrote this from the bottom of your heart. Haha! I love you! <3
"Willing Willie ang lahat sa aming pagbibigay ng saya at pag-asa na inyong hinihintay. Willing willie ang lahat at wala ng papantay, willing willie, willing willie!" :))
It all started when Ma'am Faye announced to the class that she'll be giving 25 slots for 2ca4 para mag-tour sa tv5 studio and mag-guest sa WIlling Willie show. Population ng class is more or less 50 so half lang makakasama. We drew lots to decide who will join the trip. Unfortunately, di ako nabunot. Haha :( But then, Aliana Alfonso gave her slot to me! Saya lang. :)) Thanks, Twin!
Ayun, di talaga ko nanonood ng Willing willie. It was my first time to watch the said gameshow that day! Wala akong idea kung ano yung mga gameplay at segments nung show.
Yun na nga, 1pm we went there for the tour. Naexcite ako and i suddenly imagined myself working in a tv station! Parang ang saya kasi. :) Then we waited til' 5pm because 6pm start ng show. Ayun, thanks to Ma'am faye for the VIP pass, kaya okay yung seats namin. :)
There were a lot of segments and I enjoyed watching them :) Tapos dun ko lang nalaman, everytime nag-cocommercial, may mga stand-up comedians pala to entertain the guests. Haha. Ayun, willie gave us 10k for being there. Haha. Sweet. 5k for our section and the other half is for 2ca5. :) And our class decided that we'll use the money for BroadQuest. :)
My favorite part of the show was the "Willtime Bigtime". Yung mga contestants kasi that day were married couples for 50 years. The contestants narrated their one-of-a-kind and heartfelt love stories! Ang sweet lang sobra. Despite all the fights, third parties and hindrances that they've encountered, their relationship became stronger! Grabe diba? Everything is possible talaga, if you just believe. I remember Nanay Lourdes (wife of the contestant) said "Hindi ako nagtiis, Willie. Nagmahal ako" :"> Grabe, unconditional love! Sana lahat ng tao sa mundo ganyan. Hahaha. These couples became one of my inspirations in life! They've taught me that with faith, trust, patience, perseverance and most especially love, any relationship particularly marriage can last for a lifetime. :)
It was really an Aw-Aw-Awsome experience to be there to watch Willing Willie! :) Thanks to Ma'am Faye Martel for giving us the opportunity to watch! We love you, ma'am!
Define stressed. The picture says it all. Hahaha, sorry :(
Lutang na, wala ng make up, hello eyebags, nakaupo na lang sa kung saan dahil sa pagod at para lang makapag-laptop. Hehehe. Oh well. LABAN lang :)))
Isipin na lang na ang stressed ay desserts. (HAHA wishful thinking!)
But srsly, life can be so stressful, but the reward of making it all the way around successfully... that's what might turn stress into deserved desserts.
2 more weeks then summer na! :) I know all our hardworks and sacrifices will surely pay off.

America's Next Top Model (often abbreviated as ANTM) is a reality television show in which a number of women compete for the title of America's Next Top Model and a chance to start their career in the modeling industry. The show was created and is hosted by talk-show host and model Tyra Banks, who also serves as the head judge and executive producer of the show.
Broadcasting Appeals used by ANTM:
1. Ego involvement - This show appeals to those women who aspire to be a part of the modelling industry in the US. It also appeals to people who simply love fashion and photography.
2. Curiosity- The show aims to transform these women to high fashioned models in a span of weeks and with this, the audience will really be into the show for them to see the how these women were being transformed and improved to become the next top model.
3. Conflict- There is a conflict among the participants because they are all aiming for one goal, which is to become the America's Next Top Model.
Format:
ANTM basically uses a Game format. The participants were given different workshops and challenges and they compete with each other to win the title and to have a one year contract with the Covergirl Magazine.
"In life we do things. Some we wish we had never done. Some we wish we could replay a million times in our heads. But they all make us who we are, and in the end they shape every detail about us. If we were to reverse any of them, we wouldn't be the person we are. So just live, make mistakes, have a wonderful memories,but never ever second guess who you are, where you have been, and most importantly, where it is you're going." :)
