serena

this is by far one of the worst losses of serena williams' brilliant career... losing 6-1, 6-0 to johanna konta in san jose, california. serena was spraying shots and was one step short on majority of her attempst. she should be ok before US open.

He is the way

desso cafe

mabilis lang ito
ni wala pang isang taon
bigla na lang matatapos
ang ating pagsasama.

halos tatlong beses kada linggo
narito ako, lagi 'yun
walang pinipiling araw
lunes man o biyernes.

madalas ay hazelnut latte
o kaya naman ay chai o matcha tea
puwede ring strawberry frap 
at saka 'yung tubig sa paper cup.

kumain dito ng breakfast platter
at maraming tinapay
pero paborito ang grain creamcheese
at kanilang clubhouse sandwich.

tapos isang martes
naulinigan na magsasara na raw
may kaunting silang pagtatalo 
at hanggang biyernes na nga lang daw.

ok dito, tahimik at nakapagtatrabaho ako
kahit nasasaulo ko na ang mga koreanong kanta
payapa kasi at di gaanong tao
at malapit sa aking bahay.

hanggang sa susunod, desso.

tapulao

walang katapusang paglalakad

madaling araw nagpatalakad

halos nais nang magpakaladkad

matapos lamang ang kalalakad

balot ang umaga ng lamig

saklob ng init ng araw ang daigdig

mapang-api ang init sa taligtig

walang masulukan ang tigatig

kanyang daraanang hinatag

may paakyat at patag

may matarik at balagbag

pareho lang ang dulot na tagtag

talahib at damo lamang ang tanawin

batong pino at sinlalaki ng kalawin

ibo’t insekto minsan sa panawin

ngunit madalang pa sa lipad ng lawin

puro lakad at may kaunting gapang

ni walang mamasid na pangpang

o di kaya’y kakaibang kalumpang

nasa isip ay pagkaing masasagpang

pagal na pagal

ubos na ang pangrarugal

hingal na hingal

malasin ang malalim na atungal

di na uulit

wala nang muli pang pupuslit

sapat na ang pagsusulit

ng tapulao na mahaklit.

alin, alin ang naiba?

wala.

pare-pareho lang silang apat.

chicharong bulaklak

sa teresita's ng san fernando
sa ibaba ng landmark makati
sa may sulok ng fudkort nito.

doon matatagpuan ang masarap
doon itinitinda ang malutong
doon mayroon nitong chicharong bulaklak.

wala ni anong sahog
wala ring sarsa ni mang tomas
wala itong kahit ano.

chicharong bulaklak at kanin
chicharong bulaklak at sukang matamis
chicharong bulaklak at ikaw.

di dapat chicharon para sa hapunan
di dapat mamantika
di dapat puro prito.

pero masarap kasi
pero talagang nang-aanyaya
pero heto na kasi siya.

o chicharong bulaklak
o chicharong bulaklak
o chicharong bulaklak.

kailangan kong bumalik dito sa tapa supreme! masarap ang tapsilog at mura!

josie

madaling araw pa lang ay dama na ang matinding buhos ng ulan. kaya di na kataka-takang bandang alas-6 ay baha na sa kahabaan ng banuyo. siyempre baha rin sa ibang bahagi ng san antonio. at lalong lubog na rin sa mga lugar tulad ng mayapis - malugay - buendia. 

tropical depression lamang si josie pero pinalakas nito ang habagat, hinila ito upang magdala ng malakas na buhos ng ulan sa kabuuan ng luzon. mapinsala ang pag-uulan lalo na sa pangasina, zambales at bataan. sa lunes pa raw ito aalis mula sa teritoryo ng pilipinas at magpapaulan pang lalo sa hilagang luzon.

di ako pumasok. ayokong lumusong sa baha. wala ring saysay dahil wala rin namang masasakyan kung makarating ka sa banda ng bagtikan - pasong tamo. mataas ang presyo ng grab at agawan sa taxi. mas maiging manatili sa bahay at dito na lamang magtrabaho.

tropical hut

still one of the best there ever was, that is tropical hut's clubhouse sandwich! best when having hot coffee during rainy nights!

Walang hanggang pasasalamat

Salamat sa wagas na pag-ibig Mo

Salamat inibig Mo ako

Salamat sa bawat taong nagmamahal
