DEAR LADY WHO’S NO LONGER A GIRL

Dear Lady who’s no longer a girl,

who gave in the lust of a married lover,

In the process of finding a significant other,

You didn’t understand the meaning behind the words said by he.

 

Moreover, you never experienced true love,

where man treats woman truthfully; 

has fear in God from up above;

And makes sure your flower doesn’t get gobbled up.

 

Though true love doesn’t come in one shot,

It just doesn’t come in a strike of a second hand of a clock,

It takes as long as a man, struggling to find the key of a lock.

I know time’s running out, but it really doesn’t really suck.

 

Have fun, break up and scar his heart,

For he doesn’t know love’s true art.

Be happy by yourself with people of much more importance,

For you don’t know, they’ll soon join in Heaven’s dance.

 

A poem by Juris Maclang

My friend

My friend,

how would you like it,

if someone stole your

loved one?

 

Your sister falling for

a joker?

her, turning into 

a fool?

 

Or your mother,

falling for temptation?

losing her image,

“fool,” as her reputation.

 

it’s not kind

to fool such naive women.

nor is it right

either.

 

cut your hand if

it tries to make you sin,

wash your brain

in the right basin.

 

A poem by Royanna Martin

 

A Piece of Advice

Love is spontaneous.

Love is strenuous.

Choose the right path,

To not walk into one’s wrath.

 

Gentleman like you

Are for us to ask.

Put yourself in her shoes,

Her happiness is just a mask.

 

Come into the light.

Find your wife.

Bring out your might.

Face the reality of life.

 

Tell all your lies 

And say your last goodbyes.

You’re made your life full,

But your wife a fool.

 

A poem by Andie Capili

Good Sir —

Good Sir, I believe that

you have done something wrong.

You loved a woman yet you do have a wife.

Or is it love?

A woman you pursued for pleasure

and that woman was clean and innocent

as snow; what a beast you are to do

something horrible to the both of them.

For I am a lady and Ii believe we

should be respected, loved and cared.

Love is a very strong word and emotion.

Don’t fool any woman or you will be left alone.

We, women, are loving, caring and undeniably fools

for love. A man like you does not deserve any

woman for you are a BEAST! 

We love because we are true to what we feel.

Sometimes, we try to hide. Why? We know that

beast of a man like you has multiplied and has grown

into numbers.

Love when you are ready and when you finally understand

what love truly is.

A poem by Cameron Oliveros

A Nymph’s Reply To A Lady In Despair

Lady are you?

Has your mind ever been true?

 

Focusing on what you can,

Will not make your life hard.

 

Choosing the best to fulfill,

Should make your heart throb

 

Stealing another’s man,

Is supposedly not your regard

 

Taking the pill, 

Should not be your job.

 

A poem by Vince Ducut

What happened to you?

What happened to you?

how could you

how dare you

Was it that easy for you

 

you loved her but not her

a deceitful player

a guilt you shall bring forever

yet you’re not the only bearer

 

i tell you, confess

for such a huge mess

you made this

in such a fast process

 

you should go apologize

to the man and her

before God may recognize

and bring you to your demise.

 

A poem by Mari Lorica

Tatlung pu’t pitong puting tupa :)

Eksena sa araw-araw:

SDN: “Goooooooooood moooooorning, Ms. Biancaaaaa!” (minsan malakas kapag ako first subject, minsan tamad kapag hapon — kaya nagkakamali)

Ako: Good Afternoon.

SDN: “Good afternoooooooon, Ms. Biancaaaa!” (may mga tawa sa likod at gilid-gilid)

 

Bago magsimula ang lahat:

1. Josh (nasa labas pa dahil may hinatid, sinilip o kinausap pa o kaya nakatayong nagsasalita)

2. Giann: “Ms, I have kwento.”

3 Liam: “Ms, may joke ako.”

4. Dwaine (nawawala o kaya nasa drinking fountain pa)

5. Terrence (nakikipagkwentuhan o kaya nakikipagharutan)

Ako: OK! OK! Go back to your places first.

Mga nominee sa best in “May I go out?”

6. Kurt (sigurado #1) 

7. Kyle (may sisilipin sa kabilang klase)

Ako: Sit down! Please, settle down everyone.

8. Miah (behave na nakaupo pero dumdaldal pa din.)

9. Paz (behave din kunwari.)

10. Nadia (kausap ni Miah or ni Sandy)

12. Greg (nakaupo na pero nakikipagkwentuhan kay Andre)

 13. Andre (may kinukwento nanaman)

14. Quiyo (quiet, seemingly annoyed sa ingay ng mga tao)

15. Chin (behave lang, nagsusulat o kaya may tinatapos pa)

16. Elise (kakwentuhan si Iana)

17. Iana (kakwentuhan si Elise — malamang)

18. Eross (nakatingin na sa akin yan)

19. Neil (pasulyap sulyap sakin habang nakikikpagdaldalan kina allen at jho)

20. Allen (tumatawang malakas)

21. Jho (isa pang tumatawa)

22. Ashley (mas malakas tumawa)

23. Aerrian (pinakamalakas tumawa)

24. Tisha (baka papasok palang ng room kasi nakipagkwentuhan pa sa friends sa labas)

25. Eunice (nakaupo na or may tinatapos na group work)

26. Jasper (kinukulit si Eunice or magjojoke lang out of the blue)

27. Sara (nagbabasa yan sigurado)

28. Demi (innocent look na, nakaupo na kaagad)

29. Marj (may itatanong, pero dahil pinaupo ko lahat, naudlot ang tanong niya)

30. Alia (nagbubulungan with sam)

31. Sam (nagbubulungan with alia)

32. Mikka (naglalakad palang papunta sa upuan niya)

33. Gwen: “Mommy! Mommy!” (or nakikipagaway)

34. Chelsea (sumisigaw o kaya nakikipagkwentuhan kay Gwen)

35. Chesca (nagbabasa-basa pa)

36. Sundae (nakain pa yan, tinatago lang)

37. Eula: (may hawak na bimpong puti)  “Ganda, pa-sign po ako ng attendance.” 

 

Sanay na ko sa kanila. 🙂 

Pasaway, makulit, you name it.

But at the end of the day, they are still my kids. 🙂

 

Anyway, let’s proceed. Let’s discuss. 🙂

Lesson: The Passionate Shepherd to His Love.

LISTENING.

Parents.

Children.

Friends.

Lovers.

Self.

 

A right to give.

A need to learm.

A gift to share.

A deal to seal.

A skill to master.

Ecstatic.

Blessed Joy Vispo Cayabyab and Mary Joy Toledo Carimat, I thank you.

We don’t see each other that much since we’ve parted ways back in ’10, but it sure isn’t anything to worry about. We are still the craziest when we’re together. 

For more than 5 years, we’ve been sisters. Even if we have missed a lot of pages in each other’s chapters, I am glad we are still able to catch up with our stories. I am most delighted to see the two of you early this year. Each of us has been through varieties of hell and heaven. (I’m pretty sure of that! We all seemed 10 years older during graduation. Yes, even you Sed! Thanks, PNU.). It is nice to have a sight of two lovely ladies whom I can’t stop laughing with (pig snorts) every once in a while. It feels like only yesterday we were reading our novel reports in English class, dancing along with Gerwin Cortez in the hype of Craig David’s Insomnia, eating out at SM Manila every lunch time and all that. Plus, as I remember, we were only a size 2 back then — whatever happened? Ha! Now, we’re on 5! And keeps getting bigger! (Di uso diet.)  

Both of you will always belong to my list of weirdest, craziest and funniest friends — top of the list even! I love you, girls. ♥ 

Say no more, I’ll definitely see you SOON.  

pro —

You and I are terminated.

It is only We that exist.

In Any and Every, We are.

In No and Not, still it is Us.

This, That, These, Those.

Mine, Yours, His, Hers. 

Still All is Ours.
