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.

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.

tiwali

buhong
ganid
mamamatay-tao
magnanakaw
mandarambong
sugarol
walang wawa
mayabang
bastos
mandaraya
nasusuhulan
drogador
tongpats
may dungis
maanomalya
kotong
walang dangal
di kagalang-galang
tiwali.

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.

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.
