Boxed Shadow

Crounched backbone, crossed feet
both hands masking the shameful face

Mistaken the past from the present
Hiding the pain and the crescent.
All left were marks of yesterday
With no resemblance if what is today.

Twitching limbs, Cracking knees
both feet crutching to fit left space

Walking slowly so no one would see
The ugly shadow taller than me
Inhaled grudge, exhaled hate
Is this all there is to fate?

Chest aching, hair falling
body seems to shrink, unending

The corners of space bled me
The soft cardboard seem to burn calmly
My own shadow slowly eating me
Now, the tape is sealed,
Am no longer killed.

English: A beaded Necklace

30 to 50 years from today, the English language would look like a beaded necklace tied around a girl’s neck.

Looking at a beaded necklace, we can observe different colors and designs of beads tied to a string. The beads form a pattern so that the difference of each bead can match the other bead making the said accessory more pleasing to the eyes. This idea also goes thru with the English language. The color of the beads represents the variations that we use in English. This statement can be observed visibly in our real life. For example, when a British Harvard student says “Park the car in the Harvard yard.” as “Pak the ca in the Hava yad.” the semantic and syntactic aspect is still the same, however only its Suprasegmentals and Segmentals changed. From here we can see that only the color changes but not its being or to put if more specific, the pronunciation changes but not its meaning.

On the other hand, the design of the beads refers to the different elements affecting the English language, paving way to different variations. One of these elements is the technological advancements we have today. Most of the technological advanced countries and main producers of high-tech gadgets are countries from the expanding circle like China and Japan. If Japan were to make a name for a league of super hero robots, surely the Americans would borrow the said word since the Japanese are the ones dominating the robot-making world. Another element would be the economic status of the globe. Our world now is a battlefield where the person who makes the most money is the most powerful man alive. Even a penny these days can cause petty catfights among poverty areas. For instance, an American Salesman wants to sell a second hand car to a British customer, who pronounces the word car as “ca”, surely the salesman would just sell the “ca” and even imitate the pronunciation of the British customer just to sell the old car. No one would bother to complain or make correction when money is at stake. Thus, people learn to adjust their way of speaking just to have financial security.

The last and most influential element is Culture. Every country has its own culture and every culture varies from another culture. Culture as our way of life includes the food we eat, our language, our beliefs, our history and our traditions. Sake, sushi and pinakbet are only some of the foods around our globe that doesn’t have a direct English translation yet. Because of this, the English standardized dictionary was forced to adapt the actual name of the dishes, giving birth to new English vocabulary. There are also many actions that are molded by our culture, one of which is the hara-kiri, a form of honorable suicide of the Japanese. These are actions according to our culture’s belief; translating these words may slightly change its original meaning.

If the beads refer to the variations we have in English, the string represents the mutually intelligible aspect of English variations. One example of this is the British English, even though they don’t pronounce the letter R and put emphasis on their H sounds, we understand them. The Harry Potter Craze is one good proof that different races do understand the British English. Just like mutual intelligibility, the string connects all the beads of different colors and designs into one understandable design. It serves as the backbone of our understanding and interpretation of the English language.

The future of the English language is a pool of chaos and unity, it lives in a world, where colors combine yet contrast each other, where strings are firm but sometimes breakable and where there’s a never-ending cycle of change.

English is Chop Suey

30-50 years from now the English language will most probably be similar to the dish chopsuey.

Why? Because just like Chop Suey, the English language already has many variations, has ingredients that are different from each other yet delicious when mixed together. And just by tasting a spoonful of it, we would know that it is Chop Suey even if it loses a carrot.

Just like the British English, they erase the R's from their tongues, yet we understand it. We pronounce Tortoise as tortoise yet we hear no complaining sound.
And if by instance, an American pet shop owner, wants to sell a tortoise to a Filipino customer who pronounces the said pet as tortoise, surely, the seller won't utter a word and would just go with the flow, since selling it is the main priority. From here we can see how people adjust when it comes to personal survival. The pet shop owner would rather be ignorant than to lose a customer, who cares of standards when your business is at stake?

In Chop Suey we add pork to add flavor even though it is not a vegetable. Just like code mixing, there are over 30 different versions of code-mixing with English one of which is our very own Taglish. Different countries combine English with their own language because of their culture that can’t be expressed fully in English. Hence, new vocabulary is born, such as pinakbet, sinigang, sake and many more.
English has entered a mosh pit, where culture and economy merge yet fight each other, where language can never really be standard, and where change is always constant.

Death Bell

Seized by the dark gloves of Hell,
Sitting, Waiting for my ringing death bell.
Slightly dripping a puddle of well,
Time can't give a damn of a heart so swell.

What I waited for came, only once.
The anticipation slowly turning to rust.
Nothing was left, no blood, no dust,
Burning the pain, the heart, the crust.

Bent I was when the echoes ring,
An apathetic image that left a sting,
Darkness devouring all my heart can bring,
The end has come, the voice can no longer sing.

An Illusion

You were too great, too good to be true
A fairytale I was when I am with you
A sight so neat no glance can miss,
A treacherous disease, a dying kiss

You were there, a far distance
Untouchable yet nice to look at
But I can’t get through, can’t even take that chance,
Can’t smile and say “Would you care to dance?”

A dream so dull, felt so true
Now answer me, “Am I that of a fool?”
I thought you were listening, thought you liked me
Until I realized, it was all an illusion that was just a dream.

Y Speech Finalist... Awoohh!!! aheheh (from multiply)

It was just then when I was actually on that same stage at the gym and now it's about to happen again. What I'm afraid of this time is for the exact mistake to happen again. I might stand there frozen in the middle of time because of fear. Maybe I'm confident in the eyes of my classmates but a classroom and a gym is totally different. Though I've performed acting and singing there, still my weakness of eye contact and a tons of convincing tone just wouldn't come out. I really wanted to get in just like before but up until now I don't know what's next for the girl who screwed up the first time... Aja!!!! Fight fight!!!! ahehehe...

PCHS Singing idol

Surprisingly, I got in the final 5 to perform at the gym. I'm really happy but still there's a part of me that can't let out that energy... I just domn't feel deserving enough because actually at that time I never expected it. I was one of the worst performers that night (my opinion only) and beside the fact that may singing partner sang my solo part, I was really frustrated about that and started crying. I really didn't want to cry but still I was too nervous and I felt cheated in a way though I know it was not her intention. I was over acting and I know it but I can't help it.

At first when our notes were lost, I was still enjoying it though there's a possibility of not getting in, I was still fine. But when she sang my solo I just stood there frozen, staring at her and signaling for her to stop. But as expected nothing changed. I was too down to even look at the audience. I only stood there staring at the floor and tried to calm myself down. It's as if, if I was given a chance to ran off and cry outside I would've. But it pulled me deep down to hear my name knowing that the other singers did better. I was not even close to good. I'm not questioning anybody but at that time I thought of my friends who really spent their time practicing while I did not do so much.

Now, all I can do is to pray that I don't do the same mistake as I did last time and that I can prove to people and myself that I am deserving and I was right to be there. That's all I can do now. My self-confidence vanished just like that. I think I'm just being too paranoid. Hahahaha... Good luck nalang sakin!!!!! Ahehehe... Abd I'd also like to thank all my friends who stood up for me kahit nagkalat na ko at lahat. Tsaka sa lahat ng tulong niyo sa tono ko sa mukha ko and for being true to me. salamat po!!! Love you all!!!

Clock's still Waiting

I hold with bare hands a blue pen
I have a piece of paper that was there just then
The clock's waiting for an unforgetable scene
Of love and hope that was meant to be a dream.

I was there with blurred thoughts, a dashing light,
I was there with a story that never came off mind.
The clock's still waiting for an unforgetable scene
Of freedom and peace that was meant to be a dream.

I witnessed the reality, a harsh sight,
I viewed them all died from a fight!
The clock's still waiting for a story to be heard
Of an unforgetable love story but death deserved.

Success!!!

I thought I would never be abe to post here again!!! hah! maybe our pcs the one broken.... I mean... duh! it was asking me to log in to a google account and when I ried it here it actually works... I really miss posting here... hahaha... well, I'm at my uncle's house at alabang... my ama's sick and I'm really worried... I cannot think of the thiings that might happen if something bad actually happens... huhu... I'l pray for her so hard... I love u ama!

Mood Swings

Super dami kong iniintindi ngayon, wala na ngang pasok puro asar naman, ngek! Would life ever give me peace and quiet? I hate it!!! In every way I look there's always something bad and unpleasant... Old friends ome again and new ones go... You're happy then feel irritated... You try to love someone then realizes that it's not worth it... So tiring, almost everything this year are rejections, I still haven't felt good about myself. I'm scared of changes, I'm afraid that people might leave me, especially the ones whom have stuck them selves with me thru my bad and good times. Hay... Ang drama! Buti nga marami pa ring nagstistick up sakin kahit may sayad ako... thanks sa inyong lahat!!! hehehe...

Exclamation Points

Right now things are going my head... actually, the thing I'm refering to is a thing which I didn't really thought of yesterday or the other day even though I should have... It just got stuck up on me again because o some stupid email and upcoming even... I really hate it when things have to be complicated when actually you can do it with less complication... And I hate the way people react and use their words without even thinking if they'd hurt any feelings... I mean if you tell a person something shouldn't it be sincere? then why put an exclamation point??? grr... don't want to think anymore.... Gotta sleep... another big day tomorrow!

Failure

I'm so dumb and stupid... I'm careless and brainless as well... yah I failed in math... it sucks... cried for ow many days... this really eats me... can't live like this!!! I make other people guilty I think of revenge... so stupid... arrrghhh!!!!! I want to die.... I can't live this life anymore so unfair and unlucky!!! I'm just plain stupid... tell me what to do...

Haikus on English

Daisies of thick blood
Pours flowing river on thee
Swallowed by freedom

Roses bleeding dead
stabbed by insecurity
suddenly blooms back

Happy Children Play
sing songs of melancholy---
found in their coffins

Two hands in control
tenderly touching fingers
surrounding my neck
