Ang Ilaw ng Tahanan


Ang Ilaw ng Tahanan


Mommy, Inay, Ina at Mama

Tawag sa isang babaeng walang humpay sa aruga

Walang tigil sa pag-aalaga

Walang katumbas ang pagmamahal sa pamilya.

 

Sila ang unang nagmahal sa atin

Siyam na buwan sa kanilang piling

Paghihirap nila’y kapansin-pansin

Pasasalamat sa kanila ay dapat damhin.

 

Ang ating mga ina ang tunay na huwaran

Sa lahat ng bagay ay ating kailangan

Kahit saan ay kaya nya tayong tulungan

Anuman ang pagdaanan, tayo’y palaging dadamayan.

 

Maswerte ang iba na lumaking may katulad nila

Ngunit hindi naman malas ang wala

Sapagkat, sino man ay pwedeng tawagin na Ina

Kung ang pagmamahal nila ay higit pa sa totoong Mama.

 

Ang araw na ito ay papuri sa ating minamahal na Inay

Pasasalamat sa walang humpay na pag-gabay

Pagkilala sa mga tao na tumayo at tinuring nating Nanay

Pagsaludo sa kanilang trabaho at paulit ulit na gawaing bahay.

 

Sa tulong ng tulang ito, iparamdam natin ang pagbati

Pasasalamat at pagmamahal ay huwag ipagtimpi

Sapagkat ang buhay ay maikli

Batiin at ipagmalaki ang ilaw ng tahanan sa buhay natin.

How to heal a Broken Heart

Image
You might be wondering how did I came up to this topic. I already wrote a topic about Love ( What is Love, link here ) and I wanted to write all about the healing process of a broken heart. I wrote this piece after reading Maine Mendoza’s book (Yup, I am that Girl). I read something about moving on from heartaches and lately I’ve answered some question from a random people. I thought of writing my opinion about this. Let’s start! *** Photo from National Book Store If you know me so well, I’ve been really exposed to heartaches. I’ve been dumped, rejected, unloved and quite unnoticed. I’ve never been committed to any relationship and I know you’ll gonna tease me that I’m kind of girl whom you always called, No Boyfriend Since Birth.    *** Photo from Pinoy Movie Blogger Yes, it’s true but that doesn’t mean that I have never experienced being broken. From the day I started to understand what the world means, I feel like I’m broken all along. It’s not just from guys

The Unseen Beauty of Bauan

Image
The Adventure             When you were actually from Batangas and you heard the place “Bauan”, you might say “worst traffic ever.” This is really true! Bauan, Batangas is known for its heavy traffic every day. A kind of place where traffic is really there, transportation is so hard and all the bad things you can blame to it. But what makes me forget all these hard things to Bauan is it unseen beauty. As a fourth year student, we need to have a place for thesis and we chose Bauan as the subject. The first thing that we should do to start in thesis is to discover first what Bauan has. It was 13 th on May when I decided to have the first glimpse on the said place. Too lucky I was joined by my Father and Auntie because my group mates weren’t that available. Nine in the morning when we leave Batangas City and yes, I’m too excited; this is my first time and seriously I don’t have any idea what Bauan looks like. It was a Sunny day indeed; the traffic is really long. Just a simple trivia:

TKB goes to Shercon Resort & Ecology Park

Image
           Despite of the busy schedules, we decided to unwind while doing some school stuffs. Yeah, it was a good idea to relax and enjoy everything while doing school works. Since Shercon Resort & Ecology Park is one of the ecotourism sites here in the province of Batangas, we decided to have our finals there. Luckily, they agreed to our venue and last Friday, December 9, 2016 we went to Shercon. I really didn’t imagine that I’m going to that place since the entrance fee is too expensive but because of our finals I was given a chance.          Shercon Resort and Ecology Park is one of the perfect examples of ecotourism sites in Batangas Province. It is located at Mataas na Kahoy, Lipa City Batangas. We had a great experience at Shercon Resort last Friday, December 09, 2016. We decided to choose Shercon Resort because we know that it will truly fit on what we are looking for.  We travel from Batangas City to Mataas na Kahoy. But before we go there, we bought foods in th
