Random Thoughts

Been quite awhile since i've last posted in here. But everyday i keep hangin' around in here. What's new...what's old...definitely checking the two blogs already became a habit since this was the only place i can connect to some dear friends. Right after arriving from work, before even checking my daughter's room if she has arrived, before doing chores in the kitchen...i will check first what's goin' around in here...or has there been any new post. Jas hasn't frequented this site lately...well, what can you expect to a woman who's been blessed with five beautiful kids...a helluva lot of work at home i guess. Thanks to the enormous sperm supply of her husband...five beautiful kids were credited to him.

I wanted to write but certainly my mind flies wondering what's been goin' on with them...with their family...with manong's family. As i have no clues whatsoever, all i can do is to pray for them during this difficult times. I wanted to write but definitely i have no power to do so since am struggling to think how are they coping up nowadays.

Everybody can write but not everybody wants to write. Some people just want to read more than write. Simply because writing is hard. But once you get the hang of it, you will not stop writing just like what am doing. I have compiled numerous poems and short stories in my lil black book which depicts my life from day to day struggle of living. From day to day experiences i guess. You want to write anything about everything. You want to write everything about anything. I wanted to write about something but my mind is not into it now. Saddened by the thoughts of a friend who's family is undergoing difficult moments nowadays. Maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow will be fine...i just hope so.

Four Babies...Four Pennies

Arriving early at the hospital one morning, I stopped by the cafeteria to have some milk and a doughnut. The total came to $1.46. I got four pennies change. After finishing breakfast, I proceeded to the newborn intensive care which is an adjacent unit to the normal nursery area. It's still early for my time so i scanned the newborn babies' charts and studied each cases. I would have four different infants entrusted to my care, four precious infants from heaven. Upon entering the unit, two nurses stood halfway down the left aisle. One of them the latina i knew from way, wayback at the same unit rushed towards me, seemed happy to see me working closely to her again. We greeted each other by planting a kiss cheek to cheek.

"Hola, como estas?" she asked me. "Estoy bien. Y tu?" I replied back

"Muy bien gracias, oh cuantos meses?" with a wide smile on her face she eyed my belly.

"Nineteen weeks and three days para ser exactos," I told her. "Usted conoce el genero ya?" her endless questions. "Es un nino, ok let's get working," I smiled to her. "Si, si. Que cidar siempre aqui darling," she reminded me. "Gracias," I replied back.

The other nurse started to give me reports although my shift has not yet begun. Looking on the whole unit, the advances and changes in technology, medications and procedures were overwhelming. At the back of my mind i silently prayed hoping that my shift will run smooth as i have a lot of pressures left at home and i'm afraid my presence of mind will be affected somehow. I looked down upon the warming bed against the far wall on the right aisle. On it lay a tiny, sickly, gray-colored infant hooked to a high frequency ventilator. One thing surprised me, she kicked like there was no tomorrow. My eyes moved up to the monitor screen overhead. Heart rate normal. Blood pressure borderline. Then i saw the oxygen saturation reading. It read 30 percent. Normal is above 90 percent. I stared at the tracing for several seconds, wondering if it was a mistake. It held steady at 30 percent. Thirty usually means you are dead, no kickings anymore. Suddenly i felt my stomach rumbling, i feel nauseated. I don't know if it's heartburn again or what. OR maybe just the thought of this tiny little thing laying, looking ghastly. Good Lord have mercy on this tiny little thing. Being in the profession for so many years, i still can't figured out the grueling pains that some people may suffer, especially this tiny little thing. My heart breaks just a mere look at the infant. My eyes caught the neonatologist. Busy writing down orders to be carried out by us as usual. If anything happens i want him to be always there.

The outgoing nurse turned to me and said, "You want to sign up for this baby? You'll be taking her to the morgue." The latina nurse approached us, "You have to, there's no more chance for the baby to survive." I nodded. "You know me. I'll take my patients wherever they need to go. Baby Pamela was a twenty-five-week-gestation infant. A transport from an outlying hospital. She was delivered by emergency ceasarian section the previous night after her mother became seriously ill with an infection. Throughout the night doctors and nurses had tried everything for Baby Pamela, but her lungs were simply too immature to function. Now, we were just waiting to see if the father could come to see her before we removed her from the ventilator and allowed her to die. Euthanasia, mercy killing. Just the thought of it makes me feel sick. What i felt awhile ago, the heartburn...now i feel like i am going to vomit. I looked down at Baby Pamela again. Still gray...but still kicking. I whispered to her vent, "You were just a month older to my baby Pam." I glanced back at the monitor. The oxygen saturation now read 28 percent. The attending neonatologist came over just off the phone. "That's it. The father's on the way, but he doesn't want us to wait. Take her off the vent and stop the IV's," he told us. I silently offered a quick prayer for Baby Pamela before i reached up to turn off the monitor as well. The latina nurse asked me if i wanted to hold Baby Pamela as she died. It was just minutes after 7 AM and the baby is now my responsibility. I deferred to the outgoing nurse, who readily agreed. We brought over a rocking chair and and wrapped Baby Pamela in a pink blanket with a knitted cap. The outgoing nurse held her in her arms. Off the ventilator, Baby Pamela died quickly.

Upon the arrival of the father, he was taken to the bereavement room where he held his daughter, his first born. The doctor talked to him and the father thanked the staff. He thanked the outgoing nurse personally for she was the one who took charge mostly of his baby. I went to introduce myself and asked the father what i could do to help. He said he just wanted time to be with his firstborn child. I left him to grieve but i showed him where he can find me in case he wanted someone to be with him. I promised him that i'll be back as i need to check the other three infants entrusted in my care. I knew he felt guilty, having stayed with his wife while having to let his infant daughter be taken away alone. What a choice!

I took charge of the three infants. And thank Heavens they were doing quite well. I returned to the bereavement room. I sat infront of the father and talked to him. I told him my first vision of his daughter. "She looked awful," I said, "but she was kicking...she fought till the end"

"That's how she was after the delivery," he told me with a sad, proud smile. "She was always kicking. I know everyone did their best, but some things are not meant to be," he said as he wiped away his tears. Then his family came, he asked me to take one picture while he held his daughter.

My shift had ended with nothing very serious as what i had with Baby Pamela. I walked out the doors to leave. I walked along a small street beside the hospital. By a wooded area, I stood and looked into the trees and there's the bench am using when i feel the urge to smoke then. At the back of my mind, what if i smoke now? Just a stick wouldn't hurt...perhaps. Just as i thought about it, i quickly denounced the idea, not now...after giving birth perhaps. As i walked back down the side street, sad thoughts of Baby Pamela returned. I slid my hands into the pocket of my scrub suit as i walked, absently fingering the pennies which was my change when i ate breakfast at the cafeteria. Four babies. My four pennies from heaven. I tossed the pennies into the woods, as though sowing seeds...of hope...of love...of life.

For Baby Pamela

Silang mga Mapagmahal

Lumalawak ang mga kapatid sa pananampalataya
Dumarami ang umaanib sa pederasyong malaya
Anupaman ang kasarian iyo'y matatawag pa ring biyaya

Wala raw kinikilalang kasarian ang dulo ng mga ugat
Kayat mga eba't adan man ang sumalat-salat
May luwalhating sa langit na tiyak na sasambulat

Ka-on, ka-affair, ka-relasyon man ang tawag
Sa kanila'y nasasalamin ang silay ng liwanag
Sumisiklab, nag-uumalab minsa'y nababahag
Uri ng pagmamahal nilang hindi maipaliwanag

Pilit mang sikilin ang tunay na damdamin
O umastang machung-macho ang dating
Lalabas at lalabas pa rin ang pagiging mahinhin

Ang iba nama'y hindi malaman ang pipiliin
Kung mahabang talong o mapulang tahong ang dapat kalikutin
Anupaman ang kanilang naisin
Rurok ng ligaya'y mararating pa rin

Mayroon din namang mga kapwa eba
Natutunton ang ligaya sa kani-kanilang mga kweba
Pompyangan pala ang hanap aba!
Tinutugtog ang isa't isa at hindi ang sa iba

Tawag ng kalikasan kanilang tinutugunan
Init ng katawan kailangang pagbigyan
Laging nakaluhod madasalin pa minsan
Boyscout, girlscout laging handa ang mga yan

Masalimuot na nga ngayon ang mundong ibabaw
Lubos na abala ang mga nilalang sa bawat galaw
Sa saliw ng maharot na musika sila'y pumapaimbabaw
Nakatutuwang sabayan ang kanilang pagsasayaw

Kung may narinig kang dahil diya'y nagbaba ng palda o pantalon
Huwag magtaas ng kilay, may ganyan na noon pang unang panahon

Blossoming senior

She is compared to butterflies and flowers always in bloom
Scintillating, sylvan; a fragile budding boon
A captivating blossom one likes to utter a croon
Modest in her talking, from light she shies too soon
This blossoming woman, gives petals to the moon
Comes drawing of the dark, its fragrance makes you swoon

She became the mommy of all
Headed for a certain call
That everybody is fair to her eyes at all
For whatever reason that may roll

She always wanders and asks a lot of question
Because for her life is full of emotion
Most of the time she talk of life's lesson
Golden rules on Earth she follows with passion

Let me reminisce the time we grow fond with each other
It all started with a simple question to one another
That brought us closer together
Because she lifted my spirit with reminders
But even before then, lots of people wonders
Why this blossoming woman is not a poster
But merely just a watcher...
By the likes of bops and allen she was tagged as mysterious reader
Because she was always hanging around in a corner
She felt it's not proper for her to become a commentator
And that she's happy being just a spectator

But Lo! The blossoming woman was forced to say a word
And soon she realized that there is happiness aboard
Staying away from the happy crowd now she can't afford
With her presence in their world no one gets bored

Within the garden of eve lies the blosomming senior
Becoming of age she became everybody's mentor
A good listener, provider of care, sometimes investigator
No wonder she was loved by our dear creator

Angels and Demons - A Review

I was already familiar with the Templars and the concept of Jesus Christ marrying Mary Magdalene so I was no longer surprise when I read the Da Vinci Code. It is a mystery novel that successfully mixed fact with fiction that, soon, it became a bestselling novel. It was a much talked about novel but encountered little or no controversy at all. It was so successful that it was soon adapted as a film feature.

I understood the furor and criticisms that the movie encountered before, during and after its showing. While the book did not cause much stir in the literary word, it being preceded by numerous books about the Templars and the Jesus/Mary Magdalene alleged union, it was expected that the readers will not take a fiction as the bible truth. It may spur some curious research for verification as I did, but it was expected that most readers will be able to separate fact from fiction. But movies are different. Since they are made to be easily understood, some of those shown are being or might be accepted as true accounts, hence, the movie was heavily criticized by the Vatican. It did not help that the movie, which attack the very core of our Christian belief cannot and will not be able to tell the story of our faith in two hours, did nothing to say that it was just a work of fiction.

Now on with Angel and Demons. Angels and Demons is actually a prequel of Da Vinci Code. Angel and Demons is actually a better mystery novel. It was fast-paced and chilling that you wish you can read fast enough so you'd know how the story ends. Unfortunately, the movie failed to captured this ambience. The movie was slow and failed to capture the intensity and the suspenseful nature of the novel. It was so boring you'd wished they had all four cardinals dead in a matter of minutes and all the polices fired for they ineptitude and allowing a foreigner to run their investigation.

Angel and Demons is your usual who-done-it suspense thriller with the Vatican as the background. It failed to keep me sitting on the edge of my seat as I could not feel the danger that will keep me glued to the screen. I could not symphatize with the victim so there was not the excitement or the adrenalin rush that I felt while watching Da Vinci Code. One reason why the movie failed miserably was that it was not able to establish clearly the relationship of the Papacy to the Carmelengo which is the key element of the story. Had that been made clear, then people will be in for a big surprise.

Another reason why the movie sucks big time is the wrong choice of actor who played the Carmelengo. The reason that we all became enamored with the Da Vinci movie even if most of the viewers already knew what will happen, is that Sir Ian Mckellen, the actor who was the main villain in the movie (he was also the kontra-bulate in X-Men movies)was able to convince us that he was your BFF. A person na pwede mong pagsabihan ng iyong sekwet na nakakasigurado kang walang leakage kasi nga BFF. At kahit na me leakage, hindi mo siya pagdududahan. Ganyan kagaling si Sir Mckellen, nabola niya ang lahat na hindi siya ang kontra-bulate until a last minute stupidity got him in. Which was lacking in the actor who portrayed the Carmelengo. He lacked the charm, the innocence that would make us believe that he was incapable of killing the Pope. He was very explicit with his action, lacking the subtlety that is important to all those successful kontra-bulate. He was flat. He lacks the duality that would make his portrayal of an innocent man gone power hungry convincing.

So what made me stay for a little bit longer? ROME. Magnifico, its ancient facade a story itself. The place was so beautifully captured in the film it made we want to try and torture myself again with long flights so I can visit this place. No wonder the place is called the ETERNAL CITY.

But Eternal City aside, I can no longer keep the boredom and the misery from setting in. I was miserable thinking of the chances I took while I was stealing coins from Panget's purse. Paano kung nahuli ako, mababatukan ako just because of a boring movie? Hmm, simply not worth it. And with my eyes begging for a sound sleep, I hurriedly left the movie right into the second murdered cardinal.

Well, it was wise of the Vatican to keep their mouth shut this time. The movie simply simply ain't worth the trouble. Buti na lang nakita ko yung barkada kong nagtatarbaho sa SM, pinanood ko ulit ang Ded na si Lolo, buhay na ulit ang dugo ko.....

For Wonderful Moms

The leaves turning
Into the color of spring
Air vibrating
Like it is breathing

Flowers are blooming
Orchids are hanging
What a nice sight of seeeing
Everyone is smiling

Mother's Day is happening
Everyone is rejoicing
There's a lot of greetings
Left and right they're coming

Through this message giving
I would like to bring
Love and peace offering
To all mothers and expecting

But especially mentioning
The woman whose love is unending
Caring and full of understanding
To my manong whom in this site i'm visiting

And never forgetting
My mother who is behaving
Like an angel in the sky trumpetting
Butterflies in heaven she's chasing
While father is happily looking

Oh my mind is reminding
Someone also loving
Whom compassion is touching
Her understanding to all is never ending
For her life is constant learning

Truly mothers are amazing
Like flowers always blossoming
Like wind constantly blowing
Like water freely flowing
Always there whatever reasoning

Larawang Kupas

Nakalilibang ding pampalipas-oras
Ang pagbusisi ng larawang kupas
Na sa puso'y nagbibigay lunas

Mga larawang may ngiti sa labi
Mga alaalang sa isip hinahabi
Kasalukuya'y pilit itinatabi

May mga ngiting kaygandang pagmasdan
Ang ibang kuha nama'y di maintindihan
Magkaganunpaman, sila'y manananahan

Bawat puso'y naghahanap
Ng sa kanya'y lilingap
At para sa mga pangarap
Upang mabigyang ganap

Muling isara ang aklat ng lumipas
Humugot ng hiningang kaylakas
Upang manumbalik ang panata ng pantas
At harapin ang pausbong na bukas

Wonder Ears

Of all the pains and poverty that engulf suffering Earth, what joy is
welcomed to a newborn child - caroline norton



I was again demoted at my area due to a man admitted with toxoplasmosis. It is an infectious disease we, expectant mothers should certainly avoid being near with. It is an infection you can get from a parasite by eating raw or undercooked infected meat or handling contaminated soil, cat litter. If an expectant mother had been contracted, chances are stillbirth or long-term damage to the baby may occur. Well anyways, am already used with the idea of me being tossed to one area to another where there is less risk because of my condition and the nature of my field. Sometimes they had to put my name on the list as "available"...always.

To get started with i was assigned at the nursery which i soooooo loved. Since i have been there already during my second year, they transferred me there for the meantime. I remember then that i used to compare "pututoys" of whites, blacks, asian and in-betweens. No malice intended for all the newborns...just to tickle the mind lang ba! Whatever looks they have, they're all cute!

I was caring for the couple's newborn first child after his ceasarian birth. Since the mother was asleep under general anesthesia, the pediatrician and i took our tiny charge directly to the newborn nursery where we introduced the minutes-old baby to his daddy. While cuddling his son for the first time, he immediately noticed the baby's ears obviously standing out from his head. He expressed his concern that some kids might taunt his child, calling him names like Dumbo after the fictional elephant with large ears. I noticed the new dad's concern on his face, he looks like troubled, pacing back and forth. So i told the pediatrician about it if she can make a more convincing statement with regards to his baby's obviously protruding ears. The pediatrician examined the baby (again for the new dad's peace of mind). She reassured the new dad that his son was healthy - the ears presented only a minor cosmetic problem, which could be easily corrected during early childhood. The father was finally optimistic about his child, but was still worried about his wife's reaction to those large protruding ears. "She doesn't take things as easily as i do," he conveyed to me very much worried. Sa isip ko kaya naman pala pacing back and forth sa corridor looking very troubled. By this time, the new mother was settled in the recovery room and ready to meet her new baby. I went along with the dad to lend some support in case this inexperienced mother became upset about her baby's obvious large ears. The infant was swaddled in a receiving blanket with the head covered for the short trip through the corridor. I placed the tiny bundle in his mother's arms and ease the blanket back slowly so that she could gaze upon her child for the first time. She took one look at her baby's face as i was holding my breath and looked to her husband...she then gasped, "OH HONEY! LOOK! HE HAS YOUR EARS!"

Wala pa rin

sabi nung isa jan
gawa daw ako ng www...
naisip ko tuloy
ano kaya dun sa mga www ang isusulat ko
madami ako nun eh

nung pers taym kong mag work sa bansang "amoy melon-melon amoy"
wala akong alam na arabic word..meron man basic lang
ung "salamalaykum"."malaykum salam","shokran","afuan" to say the few..
ngayon after 20 years,yun pa rin ang alam ko...
ang heeeraap kaya... or siguro hindi lang ako interesado
nawalan lang ako ng interes,kasi ba naman ang amo ko
sabihan ako ng "u'd better talk in english,ur arabic is worse"
nagtatanong man ako sa mga junakis ko,di ko naman nagagamit...

pero ang natatawa ako sa mga family names nila
one time ask ko si amo,"san galing ang mga apelyido nyo?"
sabi nya... (sulat ko na lang kung ano pagkakaintindi ko)
nung unang panahon daw,nung di pa uso ang passport
wala silang family names...
nung mauso ang census at kelangan may maisulat sa passport
ang ginawa ng mga tao,kung ano ang "tawag" sa knila
un ang ginamit nilang apelyido...
sampol-- si mang totoy--aburido..
so yun ang naging family name nya-- totoy aburido

infact ang family name nila-ng amo ko- hango sa chicken pox
dahil ung lelong daw nya sa father side
laging tinutukso ng mga kalaro nung magkaron nito..
ang lelong naman nya sa mother's side
hango sa usok,dahil lagi daw nagpapausok sa loob at labas ng bahay

napaisip tuloy ako dun
sa atin kaya ganun din?
san nga din kaya galing ang mga apelyido natin?
ung apelyido ko?... nyahahahaha...wag na lang
baka bumangon ang mga ninuno ko pag nasabi ko

ikaw... alam mo ba kung saan hango ang apelyido mo?

Wala Lang

di ko alam kung ano gagawin kong taytol d2...
di ko din alam kung ano isusulat ko...
ayoko ng malungkot na wento...
gusto ko laging masaya...
life is too short para maging malungkot..

lagi may nagtatanong sa kin
kung may chance na ibigay sa kin to turn back the hands of time
kung ano daw ba ang gusto kong baguhin sa buhay ko...
sabi ko yung pag aasawa ko...nyahahahaha
kaso kung babaguhin ko yun
baka iba ang maging junakis ko
kaya nagdadalawang isip ako dun
artistahin pa naman ang mga lumabas sa kin
sayang ang chance kong maging stage mader...hahahaha

ano nga ba?....esep esep esep
siguro wala na lang..
kasi kung ano man ang pinagdaanan ko
it helped me to become stronger...
may mga regrets man, kasama na siguro yun sa consequences
para maging matatag ako...
pessimistic ako dati (5 years ago)
but with the help of my friends
naging optimistic ako...
kung pwede ko lang isulat d2 ang aking layf story
siguradong bebenta sa mga film producer
kaso baka magkaaberya sa talent fee...hihihihi
syempre ako pipili ng casts--mala anabel rama
kelangan puro kamag anak ko ang gaganap
at mga peborit actors and actresses ang starring roles..
ako din ang direktor at scriptwriter.... :D

hay naku... baka mabulabog ang showbiz industry
at pagkaguluhan ako sa PEP
baka puro mura at malalaswang salita ang mabasa ko
maidemanda ko pa ang ang mga pepsters...
hindi na ang pep,baka malugi sila..
lugi na nga sila kay anabel
nyahahahaha....

saka na nga ako mag iisip ng isusulat
ang herap mag esep.... :D

The Ocean's Shivering Joy

Reaching Pacific Ocean through subway
I sat on a giant rock looking as the ocean sway

The sky was stained with gray
As i look up high to pray

Searching to find their faces
Asking if will i go places

A chill wind blowing, tearing leaves from twigs
My eyes filled with impending tears full of fears

Would i run or would i hide
No wonder there's no more pride

Pigeons, crows, hummingbirds are everywhere
What a vast of life makes me wonder

Oh how i would love to listen to your voices
Like ears on a sea shell for the call of winds and waters

Poised in the air i always remember
When gentle winds and waters near
Makes music to the lonely ear

Thinking deep touching my protruding belly
Son please let mommy be jolly

Rain i know will pour down soon
So i set aside my feeling of doom

I pushed a stone of grief down the cliff
Into the ocean's shivering joy and bliss


- an original piece inspired by sadness

why are we alike

why are we alike

pareho tayong kana
kana tayo ng kana
hindi natin alam tayo na pala ang
kinakana

pareho tayong magaling kumana
pero pareho tayong pikon
na ayaw umamin

opposite attracts sabi nila
siguro totoo kasi magkabilang dulo man
ang ating pananaw sa buhay
ikaw clerk ako bossy
kaya enjoy tayo with each
company

tsaka pareho tayo mahilig
magbigay ng unsolicited free advice
kaya madalas tayo ay napapaaway
but the good thing is that even if we
inflict pain to others (without them and us knowing
that we knowingly inflict them pain)
madali naman tayo magsabi
ng tsori ading
or sorry my friend
next time ulit
sa ayaw at sa gusto niyo
me unsolcited advice kami
na magiging dahilan ng
pahingi namin ng sorry
Ulit.
