Buhay Probinsiya
i miss my life in the province... yung magigising ako sa tilaok ng manok habang sumisilip ang bukang-liwayway sa silangan... tapos masigla akong magdidilig ng aking mga pananim; mga halamang namumulaklak sa hardin at mga halamang gulay sa likod-bahay... maya-maya ay aakyat sa bukid upang manguha ng panggatong at mamitas ng mga prutas... sa gitna ng bukirin ay ang aming munting kubo na nalilimliman ng malaking puno ng mangga... at sa pananghalian ay magsasaing ng bigas na binayo at magluluto ng ulam na may gata... at sa hapon ay ang siesta kasabay ng mga huni ng ibong maya... pagkagising ay babalik sa bahay sa sentro... magdidilig ulit ng mga halaman... tapos magpapakain ng mga alagang hayop, kalimitan ay manok at baboy...maglalaga ng kamote, kamoteng-kahoy o kaya saging na saba para sa meryenda... at kapag may oras pa, makikipagkuwentuhan sa mga kapitbahay na kadalasan ay mga kamag-anak... bago magtakipsilim ay babalik sa bahay upang maghanda ng hapunan... pagkatapos kumain at maghugas ng pinagkainan ay ilalatag na ang banig sa sahig na gawa sa kahoy... at makakatulog sa saliw ng huni ng mga kuliglig...
Birthday Speech
I am now 32 years old. Sabi nga ng karamihan, wala na ako sa kalendaryo.Pero may bingo pa naman daw. Hahaha. Today, I was looking back what happened last year. I've been through hell and back. I got sick several times and been confined in different hospitals. I thought that it is a sign of aging but I have friends older than me which are healthy. I guess it depends on your lifestyle. But whatever happened last year made me value my life more, and see it in a different perspective.
Living alone changed my way of understanding myself and my intimate relationships. But what I benefit most from it is that I have a robust social life. I usually eat out with friends, attend some public events, and volunteer. I met different types of people and it helped me a lot in my job as a customer service representative. And I am grateful to the friends who understand me and remain with me despite of my weaknesses. I also thanked those who turned their back for they helped me value more those are with me and provided spaces for new ones. Thanks to my new found friends, who add a different joy to my single life.
