Cranes

Symbology in Japanese culture. Designs on kimono, including family crests, are often crucial to understanding the occasion where the garment would have been worn, by whom and at what time of the year. I am not a Japanese but i am accustomed with the idea of symbols in the influence of my LITERARY courses in the field of my especialisation.


Cranes in Japanese textiles generally represent longevity and good fortune. Out of the many shapes, animals and works of art created by origami (the art of paper folding), the crane is produced most often. It is customary within Japanese culture to fold one thousand paper cranes when making a special wish.


I may have NO ONE THOUSAND folded paper cranes during my birthday. I can say that I am loved THOUSAND TIMES by those who created these for me.

Baluarte!

Waking up with such a rainy scene makes me really wanna go back to sleep. But it is not me it isn't meant for me: my body that has to suffer the consequence of going back to bed, it's more of the 40+ multiplied by 5 human being waiting for me to come by.--I hope they do.

Kabataang Pilipino: Tungo sa Paghilom at Pagsulong.

 ni: Amado M. Angat

Saksi ako sa isang nakaririmarim na krimen,

Na pilit bumubulag sa aking paningin.

Halos araw-araw ay nasasaksihang pilit,

Sa puso't isip ko'y nagdudulot ng sakit.

Ang krimeng ito ay laban sa aking bansa,

sa aking lipunan, sa aking kapwa sa aking sarili.

Sa pahayagan man o telebisyon,

Ano ang inilalarawan? Ang graft and corruption.

Karumal-dumal na pagpatay ay nagdudulot ng tensyon.

Sa libing ng mamamayan ang wika ay rebolusyon!

Ilan sa mg pagawaan o mga pabrika,

Talino at galing ko ay inaalipusta,

Sa kakarampot na sweldo ay inaalipin pa.

Habang ang mga turistang kapitalista ang nagtatamasa.

Talamak na rakista ito ay wala ng lunas.

Bansa ko'y may paghihilom.

Bansa ko'y isusulong,

Sa ating ekonomiya ay pilit pumuhunan.

Ang waldas ay bumababa na ang antas.

Nabibili na ang lahat pati ang batas.

Hindi ko na makayanan ang sugat ng aking budhi

Sa hukumang ito, na ako'y nabiktimang saksi.

Wala akong ginawa kundi ang hayaang tanggapin ang lakas ng bawat hagupit.

Ako ang kabataan ay hangal bang maituturing?

Ako! Kabataan! Ay hangal bang maituturing?

Ang responsibilidad ko, at karapatan

ay nawalan na ng pansin.

Ang kabayanihang pinaglaban ay ipinamana sa akin

ng henerasyon ng tula, taong nasa akin.

Kailan kaya tayo titigil sa pagsisihihan?

Ang problema ay nasa sarili at bunga ng di

pagkakaisa,

Kung tayo ay magsasama-sama at isasantabi ang pagkakaiba.

Atin nang makakamtan ang tunay na kasarinlan.

Ako. Oo.

Ang kabataan ng bagong henerasyon.

Handa nang humarap sa unos ng pakikipagtuos

Maipagtanggol ang bansa sa salik ng kasamaan, pagkat ako ang kabataang Pilipino

tungo sa paghilom at pagsulong ng bansa ko.

Malayang Berso

"Free-verse"

At page One, I started to peek.
I've learned to be by the help I seek.

At page Six, I managed to sit
I've learned to do by how they preach.

At page of legal, I stand with pride.
But learning to humble myself by His light.

These were just verses of my life.
Published in fb...which I hope will be nice.

Mine is just a slice, so plain and crack
I hope yours will be shared by act.

With every chapter that we live a life
There will always be learning in sight
Never forget that it's not just by eyes
To comprehend it, should be by heart.

"We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. Medicine, law, business, engineering --these are noble pursuits necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love. --these are what we stay alive for."
-from the Dead Poets Society
