Gasera

Ipinanganak ako sa nung panahong ang elektrisidad ay isang luho na wala pa sa aming lugar. Natatandaan ko pa, lagi kaming mayroong gasera.Pagsapit nang hapon, kailangan nalagyan na ng gas ang mga ilawan, habang maliwanag pa. Wala kaming aladin noon (Coleman ang brand ng sa mga lolo ko). Kalimitan e mga may-kaya lang ang meron nun. At karaniwang ginagamit kapag may pagtitipon o kasayahan. Ha ha! Naalala ko pa noon, kapag may kasalan, ganun ang ilaw.

Pero ang hindi ko makakalimutan na gamit ng gasera ay yung panahong kami ng tatay ko ay inaabot nang madaling-araw sa paglalaro ng ahedres. Kahit laging ako ang tagataya ng mga pyesa, ayos lang. Oras yun na nagugugol kasama ang tatay ko. Sa umaga nga laang, e di ang itim ng kulangot. Ha ha! Ang mga panahong yun, masarap alalahanin.

    The sequence is designed to balance high, low, odd, and even numbers. And on top of that, the wheels are different for European and American roulette. It’s 바카라사이트 not as sophisticated as it sounds although – a glance at|check out} the two variations you’ll come throughout below. An appropriately programmed digital laptop might give a convincing imitation of the behaviour produced by a human mind even when the mind is a partially random machine.

Aswete

Noong bata pa ako, ang sanga ng aswete ang isa sa mga paborito naming gawing trumpo. Ikaw nga, pag gawang aswete, ay maganda ang hugong. Naging paksa din ng mga biruan ang aswete at ang katangian nitong gumawa ng kakaibang tunog. Nang lumaon, kapag sinabihan kang gawa sa aswete, ibig sabihin nun ay mayabang o maangas ka, kase mahugong o maingay. Ha ha! Malalaman mo talaga ang pilantik ng diwa ng mga tambay sa ganun.

Happy birthday in Heaven, Mama!

It would have been your 66th birthday today, Mama. We really miss you. It may have been that long but we have not forgotten you. A lot of useful things in life that I know, I learned from you and Papa. For those, I will eternally be grateful. We might not have been granted more time together in this mortal realm, I know you are always there, watching over us. Like the warmth of your presence when I was a kid and studying by the "gasera". You didn't have to say any word. Just being there provided me great comfort. My only regret is that I missed the opportunity of returning the favor as you get older. God had a different plan for us.

To My Dear Papa in Heaven On Father's Day

Although it's been many years since God called you home, and your warm presence is no more, your guidance, advice, and love have stuck with me all the time. I would not be who I am today without you. I miss the endless arguments we had about the difference between latitude and longitude (I was stubborn then) and your endless discussion about the classification of living things. KPCOFGS is the one that stuck. Back when K only refers to either Animalia or Plantae. And I will never forget the endless sessions we had playing chess and staying up very late just for one more match. Loser set up the board and I don't mind setting them up again and again. Just to have one more game with you. And who would forget the number of meter sticks that were broken when I get some ass-woopin'? I understand it now, more than ever. Now I am a father too. We can't do that today, though :-). Lucky kids. I also miss the time when we go to Bayog to gather kuhol and pako. We didn't have...
