Ay Ahay . . .

Bati ko malantaw ka naman kuno sine
Ano to gani ah? Love story starring Erich? Jodie?
Baw kanugon wala na bag-o nga pelikula si Juday
Kay kung may ara---ay ahay . . .

---

Aw, malakat ka na?
Gadali ka?
Indi ka naman maka abot sa teleserye mo?
Ay ahay . . . Kag mag hibi hibi ka naman?
Tan-awa bala ho, gina kadlawan ka naman ni Manong!

---

Dali lang gid!
Kaon anay bag-o ka maglakat
Ari ho---utan kag isda
Kay daw mapatay ka gid sa dyabetis mo

---

Ti, okay ka na?
Malakat ko anay sa miga ko ha?
Huo na ah. Mapuli na ko temprano
Ay ahay . . . Indi na bala magkabalaka

---

Ha? malantaw lang kami sine ah
Indi ka man ni manamian kay puro GMA ang artista
Huo, kabalo ko loyalista ka sang ABS
Ay ahay . . . Ah te, sige na---ABS pinakanami!

Ayos na?
Lakat na ko, Ma
Enjoy lang da sa TV ah

Sige na. Labyu

                                      














Because I miss her, that's why.

Mama

I made this for Mother’s Day. I wanted to send this through snail mail (because she’s in Bacolod and I’m in Cebu), but I’m out of cash now. And this wouldn’t reach her in time anyway. :c This one’s for her and for every mother everywhere who deserves more than our love. :)

—-

I’ll write a poem for Mama

One that’s the best in the world

You can compare it to nothing

Oh, but only to her

—-

I’ll write a song for Mama

I’ll sing of her unquestioning love

No notes are needed, really

Because she knows my every melody

—-

Alas! But the words are trapped in my tongue!

Oh no, what do I do?

How can I write that one poem for mama?

The one that’s best in the world!

—-

I boggle my mind, but no words come out

There’s only the image of her warm smile

My mama’s big, warm smile

That says everything is all right

That says she won’t leave my side

—-

Perhaps that one great poem can wait

Perhaps it needs more time

I know my mama will understand

I hope it’s worth the delay

—-

So what else can I do now?

But sing for my mama

My mama, so gentle

With her childlike happiness

—-

Mama, I give you this one true song

A song I secretly sing in my heart

Please listen intently, it’s only for you

La la la …

Fa la la la la …
