WHY SHOULD WE WALK ACCORDING TO P.S CASTRENCE?

(May 17, 2016)

WHY SHOULD WE WALK ACCORDING TO P.S CASTRENCE?

Walking keeps the form fit. It obviates bay windows, inelegant in men, unsightly in women. Walking puts into play painlessly and unconsciously, important body muscles. The leg muscles,obviously, are the ones mostly affected. But when the legs move they pull at the abdominal muscles, giving them the needed exercise which prevents their getting flabby and the abdomen’s becoming big and pendulous. The static muscles of the back, especially those around the spine, are put into movement, too, and this is essential in the maintenance of good posture. The arms also swing into motion as a natural accompaniment of walking.

There are all manners of walking. The ambling walking of the absorbed lovers, while satisfactory from the point of views of giving opportunity for sentimental discourse, is not so from the point of view of exercise. From the latter viewpoint, a brisk morning walk is the thing. You need not even plan it as a formal program. It is a relatively simple thing to walk to the office, or if that is too much because where you work is quite distant from your home, walk part of the way. Either choice you take, however, makes it worthwhile by deriving from it the exercise you need. Wallk vigorously and enthusiastically. You can almost actually feel the blood circulating in your body with a briskness equal to the vim and zest you put into your walking.

CAN BE LOVE MEASURED?

(May 17, 2016)

CAN BE LOVE MEASURED?

Yes, but only by the one with love. example: if i love you, then i can measure my love for you but you can not measure my love for you as you know not what is within my mind. somethings can not be communicated in the traditional sense, they can only be known. love is one of them. another way to measure love is to think about how much one loves them self, though not in an egotistical way.

HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE LOVED?

(May 17, 2016)

How do you know that you are in loved?

If this special person is the first thing on your mind when you wake up, the last person on your mind when you go to sleep, and the person you think about the most throughout the day, you’ve probably wondered if you’re in love. You might sporadically call or text them during the day to ask them how they’re doing or what they’re doing later just to keep the conversation flowing. Your mind and your heart may be in the wonderful first stage of being in love.

Poster depicting the message of the poem "To A Lost One"

(May 16, 2016)

To A Lost One
Angela Manalang-Gloria

I shall haunt you, O my lost one, as the twilight
Haunts a grieving bamboo trail,
And your dreams will linger strangely with the music
Of a phantom lover’s tale

You shall not forget, for I am past forgetting
I shall come to you again
With the starlight, and the scent of wild champakas,
And the melody of rain.

You shall not forget. Dusk will peer into your
Window, tragic-eyed and still,
And unbidden startle you into remembrance
With its hand upon the sill.

MESSAGE OF THE POEM:

They say there is a reason, they say that time will heal. But neither time nor reason will change. The way we feel for no one know the heartache. That lies behind our smiles. No one knows how many times we have broken down and cried. We want to tell you something. So there there wont be any doubt. You're so wonderful to think of but so hard to be without.

Reaction of "Like the Molave"

(May 14, 2016)

LIKE THE MOLAVE

BY: Rafael Zulueta da Costa

 

Not yet, Rizal, not yet. Sleep not in peace;There are a thousand waters to be spanned;There are a thousand mountains to be crossed;There are a thousand cross to be borne.Our shoulders are not strong; our sinews areGrown flaccid with dependence, smug with ease

Under another‘s wing. Rest not in peace;

 Not yet, Rizal, not yet. The land has needOf young blood

 –

 and, what younger than your own,Forever spilled in the great name of freedom.Forever oblate on the altar ofThe free? Not you alone, Rizal. O souls And spirits of the martyred brave - arise! Arise and scour the land! Shed once againYour willing blood! Infuse the vibrant redInto our thin anemic veins; untilWe pick up your Promethean tools and strong,Out of the depthless matrix of your faithIn us, and on the silent cliffs of freedom,We carve, for all time your marmoreal dream!Until our people, seeing, are becomeLike the Molave, firm, resilient, staunchRising on the hillside, unafraid,Strong in its own fiber; yes, like the Molave! 

REACTION:

 Like The Molave is one regarding how the people of the Philippines must work to make the nation stronger. The poem states that a region of the Philippines - Rizal - cannot yet rest, as there is still much work to be done to make the area successful. At the beginning of the poem, the poet outlines how the Philippines is dependent on other nations, and must work towards becoming independent in the future in order to support its citizens. Like The Molave also highlights the importance of the younger generation, and how they must fight for their country and improve the Filipino way of living. The poet believes this will grant the nation freedom. Like The Molave also talks about heroes and how they inspire regular Filipinos to be great themselves and join them on the quest to make the Philippines a more prosperous place. The poem states that whilst many Filipinos are achieving great things for their country, there is still much more to be done and more residents must contribute to the efforts. In short, Like The Molave is about inspiring the Filipino nation to improve their country and make it self-sufficient.

KAMAY NG BIRHEN

Mapuputing kamay, malasutla’t lambot,
kung hinahawi mo itong aking buhok,
ang lahat ng aking dalita sa loob
ay nalilimot ko nang lubos na lubos.

At parang bulaklak na nangakabuka
ang iyong daliring talulot ng ganda,
kung nasasalat ko, O butihing sinta,
parang ang bulaklak kahalikan ko na.

Kamay na mabait, may bulak sa lambot,
may puyo sa gitna paglikom sa loob;
magagandang kamay na parang may gamot,
isang daang sugat nabura sa haplos.

Parang mga ibong maputi’t mabait
na nakakatulog sa tapat ng dibdib;
ito’y bumubuka sa isa kong halik
at sa aking pisngi ay napakatamis.

Ang sabi sa k’wento, ang kamay ng birhen
ay napababait ang kahit salarin;
ako ay masama, nang ikaw’y giliwin,
ay nagpakabait nang iyong haplusin.

"Virgin's Hands," is a beautiful touching Tagalog poem by Jose Corazon de Jesus about how his love for a woman changed him for the better. It has been said that the hands of a virgin have the power to transform even hardered criminals into good men.

MY FUTURE

(May 11, 2016)


It's unbelievable how each year, since the beginning of high school, my perfectly laid plans for myself have unavoidably deteriorated. When I entered my freshman year, I had aspirations of business women (something I had wanted to be since I was a child); Now, here I am my college life without any idea of what I want to do. Now seems to be the time to start taking life seriously and making responsible, educated choices. Now I come to a crossroad in my life where I choose what to do with my future, choose what will make me happy.
My plans for the future is having a great job with a loving family who's willing to support me in my good and bad times.. But now I realize that there are so many other steps I need to take in order to achieve these so-called goals. This includes graduating from high school and college, finding that special someone, and finding that perfect job. I have begun to realize that I have yet to begin my life; everything up until now has been practice, as if I have been in a cage and it is only now that I am beginning to break free and do things for myself. I must work really hard to give my kids a better future so it will be easier for them to concentrate more in school, because without education there's really no future for anyone. . I want to be satisfied with my decisions, to be able to accept and forgive, and most of all to be able to live up to the expectations I have for myself. . I will only accomplish my goal in being happy when I am able to live my life for myself and still able to provide love and support to others.

Expectations from the new President

I expect for the new President is the change underway in the insurance industry is difficult to overstate by health care issues will be prominent in the presidential election campaign in 2016. Provider-owned health plans will continue to launch and grow as more hospitals take on financial risk under  due-based contracts.

Poems of Jose Corazon de Jesus

SA PAMILIHAN NG PUSO

Huwag kang iibig nang dahil sa pilak
pilak ay may pakpak
dagling lumilipad
pag iniwan ka na, ikaw’y maghihirap.

Huwag kang iibig nang dahil sa ganda
ganda’y nagbabawa
kapag tumanda na
ang lahat sa mundo’y sadyang nag-iiba.

Huwag kang iibig sa dangal ng irog
kung ano ang tayog
siya ring kalabog
walang taong hindi sa hukay nahulog.

Huwag kang iibig dahilan sa nasang
maging masagana
sa aliw at tuwa
pagkat ang pag-ibig ay di nadadaya…

Kung ikaw’y iibig ay yaong gusto mo
at mahal sa iyo
kahit siya’y ano,
pusong-puso lainang ang gawin mong dulo.

Kung ikàw’y masawi’y sawi kang talaga
ikaw na suminta
ang siyang magbata;
kung maging mapalad, higit ka sa iba.

Sa itong pag-ibig ay lako ng puso
di upang magtubo
kaya sumusuyo
pag-ibig ay hukay ng pagkasiphayo.

ISANG PUNUNGKAHOY

Kung tatanawin mo sa malayong pook,
ako’y tila isang nakadipang kurus;
sa napakatagal na pagkakaluhod,
parang ang paa ng Diyos.Organo sa loob ng isang simbahan
ay nananalangin sa kapighatian,
habang ang kandila ng sariling buhay
magdamag na tanod sa aking libingan.

Sa aking paanan ay may isang batis,
maghapo’t magdamag na nagtutumangis;
sa mga sanga ko ay nangakasabit
ang pugad ng mga ibon ng pag-ibig.

Sa kinislap-kislap ng batis na iyan,
asa mo ri’y agos ng luhang nunukal;
at saka ang buwang tila nagdarasal,
ako’y binabati ng ngiting malamlam.

Ang mga kampana sa tuwing orasyon,
nagpapahiwatig sa akin ng taghoy,
ibon sa sanga ko’y may tabing nang dahon,
batis sa paa ko’y may luha nang daloy.

Ngunit tingnan ninyo ang aking narating,
natuyo, namatay sa sariling aliw.
Naging kurus ako ng pagsuyong laing
at bantay sa hukay sa gitna ng dilim.

Wala na, ang gabi ay lambong na luksa,
panakip sa aking namumutlang mukha!
Kahoy na nabuwal sa pagkakahiga
ni ibon, ni tao’y hindi na matuwa.

At iyong isiping nang nagdaang araw,
isang kahoy akong malago’t malabay.
Ngayon, ang sanga ko’y kurus sa libingan,
dahon ko’y ginawang korona sa hukay!

ANG TREN

Tila ahas na nagmula
sa himpilang kanyang lungga,
ang galamay at palikpik, pawang bakal, tanso, tingga,
ang kaliskis, lapitan mo’t mga bukas na bintana.

Ang rail na lalakara’y
nakabalatay sa daan,
umaaso ang bunganga at maingay na maingay,
sa Tutuban magmumula’t patutungo sa Dagupan.

O, kung gabi’t masalubong
ang mata ay nag-aapoy,
ang silbato sa malayo’y dinig mo pang sumisipol
at hila-hila ang kanyang kabit-kabit namang bagon.

Walang pagod ang makina,
may baras na nasa r’weda,
sumisingaw, sumisibad, humuhuni ang pitada,
tumetelenteng ang kanyang kainpanada sa tuwina.

“Kailan ka magbabalik?”
“Hanggang sa hapon ng Martes.”
At tinangay na ng tren ang naglakbay na pag-ibig,
sa bentanilya’y may panyo’t may naiwang nananangisa

KAMAY NG BIRHEN

Mapuputing kamay, malasutla’t lambot,
kung hinahawi mo itong aking buhok,
ang lahat ng aking dalita sa loob
ay nalilimot ko nang lubos na lubos.

At parang bulaklak na nangakabuka
ang iyong daliring talulot ng ganda,
kung nasasalat ko, O butihing sinta,
parang ang bulaklak kahalikan ko na.

Kamay na mabait, may bulak sa lambot,
may puyo sa gitna paglikom sa loob;
magagandang kamay na parang may gamot,

Kalupi ng Puso

Talaan ng aking mga dinaramdam,
Kasangguning lihim ng nais tandaan,
bawat dahon niya ay kinalalagyan
ng isang gunitang pagkamahal-mahal

Kaluping maliit sa tapat ng puso
ang bawat talata’y puno ng pagsuyo,
ang takip ay bughaw, dito nakatago
ang lihim ng aking ligaya’t siphayo.

Nang buwan ng Mayo kami nagkilala
at tila Mayo rin nang magkalayo na;
sa kaluping ito nababasa-basa
ang lahat ng aking mga alaala.

Nakatala rito ang buwan at araw
ng aking ligaya at kapighatian…
isang dapithapo’y nagugunam-gunam
sa mga mata ko ang luha’y umapaw…
Anupa’t kung ako’y tila nalulungkot
binabasa-basa ang nagdaang lugod;
ang alaala ko’y dito nagagamot,
sa munting kaluping puno ng himutok.

Matandang kalupi ng aking sinapit
dala mo nang lahat ang tuwa ko’t hapis;
kung binubuksan ka’y parang lumalapit
ang lahat ng aking nabigong pag-ibig.

Sa dilaw mong dahong ngayon ay kupas na
ang lumang pagsuyo’y naaalaala,
O, kaluping bughaw, kung kita’y mabasa
masayang malungkot na hinahagkan ka…

May ilang bulaklak at dahong natuyo
na sa iyo’y lihim na nangakatago,
tuwi kong mamasdan, luha’y tumutulo
tuwi kong hahagkan, puso’y nagdurugo.

Dr. Jose Rizal


Realonda) (June 19, 1861 – December 30, 1896) was a Filipino polymath, nationalist and the most prominent advocate for reforms in the Philippines during the Spanish colonial era. He is considered the national hero and the anniversary of Rizal's death is commemorated as a Philippine holiday called Rizal Day. Rizal's 1896 military trial and execution made him a martyr of the Philippine Revolution.The seventh of eleven children born to a middle-class family in the town of Calamba, Laguna, Rizal attended the Ateneo Municipal de Manila, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree sobresaliente. He enrolled in the University of Santo Tomas Faculty of Medicine and Surgery and the University of Santo Tomas Faculty of Philosophy and Letters and then traveled alone to Madrid, Spain, where he studied medicine at the Universidad Central de Madrid, earning the degree of Licentiate in Medicine. He attended the University of Paris and earned a second doctorate at the University of Heidelberg. Rizal was a polyglot conversant in at least ten languages.He was a prolific poet, essayist, diarist, correspondent, and novelist whose most famous works were his two novels, Noli me Tangere and El Filibusterismo.[5] These are social commentaries on the Philippines that formed the nucleus of literature that inspired dissent among peaceful reformists and spurred the militancy of armed revolutionaries against 333 years of Spanish rule. As a political figure, Rizal was the founder of La Liga Filipina, a civic organization that subsequently gave birth to the Katipunan[6] led by Andres Bonifacio and Emilio Aguinaldo. He was a proponent of institutional reforms by peaceful means rather than by violent revolution.

Rizal was born in the Philippines' Laguna Province. He studied medicine in Manila but left to complete his degree in Spain in 1882. While in Europe, Rizal wrote multiple works that exposed the immorality of Spanish colonial rule and advocated for reform in the Philippines, particularly rallying for equal treatment of Filipinos, curbing the power of Spanish friars and allowing for Filipino representation in the Spanish political system. When Rizal returned to the Philippines, he founded a group that championed non-violent protest. Despite his peaceful ways, he was exiled from the Philippines to the island of Mindanao.

Eventually, Rizal was allowed to return to the Philippines as an army doctor, but within a year of his return, a Filipino nationalist society called the Katipunan revolted. Though Rizal had no connections to the group and did not approve of the group's violent methods, Rizal was nonetheless arrested, tried, convicted of sedition and executed by public firing squad on Dec. 30, 1896. Rizal's execution further sparked opposition to Spanish rule, and in 1898, the Philippines were liberated from Spanish rule.

BACKGROUND:

On early 2013, Concepcion uploaded a blurred photo through his Instagram account regarding the setlist of his yet unknown album. On an interview with ABS-CBN, he stated, "It’s totally different from the way I used to sound. It’s a new sound and a new look for me as a recording artist. That’s one thing that my fans can look forward to." ^[3] He also added,"It's going to be new music for me, something that you haven't heard me do."^[3] He added that the shift in image is also a way to "graduate" from his being identified with the popular kiddie talent search Little Big Star which he won in 2005.^[4][5] It was years 2012 through 2013 that he recorded most of the tracks featured on the album. Concepcion is thankful that he was given the chance to collaborate with the biggest names in the country's recording scene which includes Billy Crawford, Christian Bautista, Jay-R, among others.^[5] According to him, "The album is a preview of the many things I do as a performer.

                                                   Mahal na Mahal by Sam Concepcion

Kung may taong dapat na mahalin

ay walang iba kung 'di ikaw

Wala 'di bang makakapigil pa sa akin

[Verse:]

Binuhay mong muli ang takbo

At tibok ng puso sa'yong pagmamahal

Ang buhay ko'y muling nag-iba

Napuno ng saya (Napuno ng saya)

Sa Lahat 'di maari, 'di maaring iwan

Wala ng makakapigil kahit na bagyo man

Paano kung ikaw na mismo kusang lilisan?

Paano ba?

[Chorus:]

Kung mawalay ka sa buhay ko

Kung pag-ibig mo'y maglaho

Paano na kaya ang mundo?

Kung sa oras 'di ka makita

Kung ika'y napakalayo na

May buhay pa kaya 'tong puso?

'Yan lang ang maaari natin,sadyang matatanggap

Habang ako'y may buhay

Mahal na Mahal kita

Higit pa sa iniisip mo

[Repeat Verse and Chorus]

Mahal na Mahal kita

Mahal na Mahal kita

Mahal na Mahal kita

Higit pa sa iniisip mo

[x2]

[Repeat Chorus]

Ohh...

REACTION:

A man who is truly in love with a girl that whatever problems or obstacles may take him he will do his best and only the girl he really loves will always be in his heart. This song is really inspiring though because in the lyric of the song even distance will not lose his love for the only girl he loves. The kind of love he had for her is really strong and no one could even break it. For as long as he lives his love never dies.
