What is Right?

What is Right? is a question
that we need to keep asking and
talking about
with other kids and grown-ups everyday-

Maybe sometimes we can even go
somewhere very quiet
and ask ourselves, very quietly
What is Right?

Maybe if we can hear
that voice of our heart
inside ourselves
and figure out What is Right?
Maybe we can start to feel really good inside
and maybe even kind of quiet
and nice inside.

But if we don't keep asking ourselves
What is Right?
and talking about it
with other kids and grown-ups
(maybe even with animals/trees/bugs)
then we may never figure out the answer.

So, please, never stop asking
that big, big question:
What is Right?

What is Love? ... to the children of the world...

Love is like a rainbow
which has all the different colors
going in and out of each other-
all at the same time.

Did you ever see a real rainbow?
It's hard to tell where one color starts
and then mixes into the next color-

the red turns into orange,
which turns into yellow,
which turns into green,
which turns to blue,
and on and on like that.

All those different colors
are held together in one big, beautiful rainbow-
just like all our different inside feelings
are held together by that one big feeling called-
LOVE!

FATHER'S LOVE LETTER

Desiderata

Max Ehrmann

Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs;
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.

Max Ehrmann, Desiderata, Copyright 1952.

Poem: A THANK YOU PRAYER

For milk to drink and food to eat;
For eyes and ears and hands and feet;
Thank you God.

For mother, father, and their care;
For our house and clothes to wear;
Thank you God.

For friends with whom I run and play;
For sun and rain and night and day;
Thank you God.

For all the things You gave to me,
Help me to always thankful be.
Thank you God.

WE COOKED THE GUYABANO JAM ( SOUR SOP JAM)

Recollection with my classmates

Last January 20, 2012; it was a fine Saturday that all third year college students had the recollection at Kimaya beach, Gingoog City. It was a venue for us to charge, to refill, to meditate, to be happy with classmates and with GOD. We listened to the soft music entitled "God is Calling Me". Each of us wrote our individual symbols which represents of who we are. Some are crying because, their personality reflects with their drawings. Our drawings and symbols were interpreted by Psychologist Joyce Salanatin.
After the said activity together we ate our lunch. Some had no baon that's why we shared our baons to those who had none. After our lunch break we continued our activity and we shared our feelings, our happy and sad memories and we were enlightened by the Holy Spirit afterwards. One of my classmates, named Christopher brought the digital camera and he took us many pictures. He tlod me then that he will tag it on facebook.
The place was so cool, so overwhelming, so attractive and good for relaxation. It is not always visited by tourist because, it is privately prepared for recollection only. The green, green grasses, flowers, bamboos and trees made the environment smell so fresh and it made me energize.

Christ the King College

9014 Gingoog City

AWITING BAYAN

Bayan Ko

Original Tagalog lyrics by Jose Corazon de Jesus

Melody by Constancio de Guzman.

Ang bayan kong Pilipinas
Lupain ng ginto't bulaklak
Pag-ibig ang sa kanyang palad
Nag-alay ng ganda't dilag.
At sa kanyang yumi at ganda
Dayuhan ay nahalina
Bayan ko, binihag ka
Nasadlak sa dusa.

Ibon mang may layang lumipad
Kulungin mo at umiiyak
Bayan pa kayang sakdal dilag
Ang di magnasang makaalpas!
Pilipinas kong minumutya
Pugad ng luha ko't dalita
Aking adhika,
Makita kang sakdal laya!

SONETO

May pinahirapang puso ng pag-ibig,
Dahil sa paghanap ng isa pang puso,
Ang pusong nakita’y katulad ng langit,
Magandang-maganda puso ng pagsuyo,
Ang dalawang puso’y masayang nabuhay,
At sa püso’y hindi na raw magtataksil,
Naniwala silang ang pagmamahalan….
Pag likas at wagas ay walang kahambing,
Bubuyog at kamya’y laging nag-uusap,
Laging nagsasalo sa dusa’t ligaya,
Sapagkat ang kamya’y langit ng pagliyang,
Ang bubuyog nama’y puso ng pag-irog,
Ang puso ng tao’y ligayang may dusa,
Di lahat ng puso’y laging maligaya.

DALIT

Nag-aral siyang pilit
Nang karangala’y makamit.
Buong buhay s’yang nagtiis.
Makapagtapos ang nais.

Ang pera niya’y tinipid,
Sa guro ay di sumipsip.
Markang mataas, nakamit:
Tagumpay nga ang kapalit.
-Zoren Mercurio

Inday, Pamutos Na
(Go Inday, Pack Your Things)

(Isinalin ni Teresita Maceda)

Inday pamutos na
Sa imong mga bestida
Kinsay imong padad-on
Si Ondo imong pamanhon.

Ondo ayaw’g awaya
Si Inday imong asawa
Imo ganing awayon
Ako man siyang bawion.

Unsaon ninyo pagbawi
Kinasal kami sa Pari
Unsaon ninyo pagboyboy
Inaslan kami ug baboy.

Ay, ay pagkakapoy
Niining mamalanghoy
Puston sa pinong ginit
Lugpitan sa dakong kahoy.

Dayon ayag-ayagon
Dayon puto-putohon
Puston sa dakong dahon
Sa baybay kaon-kaonon.

ELEHIYA

Kay Inay

Kung ang kamataya’y isang panibagong paglalakbay aking Inay

Sa iyong pagtawid ala-ala nami’y baunin

Pagmamahal mo, pagkalinga,

mga pagtitiis at pagdurusa

Ngayo’y nakatakas ka na

Habang nakamasid ka sa ‘ming iyong naiwan

sa mga ibong nakasama mo,

sa mga talangka at sigay na naging laruan mo

sa mga along kahabulan mo

at sa malawak na buhanginang naging palaruan mo

Nawa’y naalala mo ang mga ito sa paglisan mo

Mag-isang ninanamnam ang kalinga ng kalikasan

habang isang ala-ala na lamang ang yakap ng iyong ina

sa oyayi ng hangin, ipinaghele ka,

sapagkat ika’y maagang naulila

Lumaking salat sa pagmamahal sa magulang

Tanging kaibigan naging takbuhan

Inulila pa ng kapatid na turan

animo’y isang sadlak sa dusang nilalang

Pagkat ang isang kaibiga’y lumisan

Tuluyan nang humalik sa lupa

ang sarangolang dinagit ng hangin,

Tanging pumpon ng bulaklak

sa malamig na bato ang tangan mo

Nakaukit na ang pangalan mo

Ang naiwan sa ami’y mga ala-ala mo

Nang isang inang kasabay kong nangarap,

lumipad, kumalinga at sumalo sa aba ko.

Sa bawat ngiti ng mga munting anghel na kinalinga mo

isang munting kaluluwang pinanabikan mo

Konting sulyap lamang sana anak ko

Kahit ako’y malamig ng tila yelo

Ngunit ito’y ipinagkait mo

Ngayon aking ina sa iyong paglalakbay

Baunin mo ang aming pagmamahal

Ihalik sa hangin aming mga pagmamahal

Ibulong sa Diyos na kami’y bantayan

Yakapin ng pagmamahal kahit sa panaginip lang

Nawa sa iyong pagtawid sa kabilang buhay

masilayan mo ang kaginhawahang

di natikman sa palad ko

PASTORAL

O Anong Sarap Mabuhay sa Mundo

Halaw kay Lawrence Ferlinghetti


O anong sarap mabuhay sa mundo
kung di ka pihikan at wala sa bokabularyo
ang matuwa masyado
o magpakasaya nang todo
o kung sadyang wala kang pakialam
paminsan-minsan mang maranasan
ang purgatoryo. Bale-wala,
'ika nga, ang lahat ng ito
di naman bawat saglit
umaawit sila doon sa langit.

O anong sarap mabuhay sa mundo
kung di ka napapangiwi
'pag may taong nasasawi
o minsan, halos masawi lang naman
dahil di magamot
ng laway na nilunok
ang bitukang kumulubot. Basta’t hindi ikaw ito,
walang atraso
wala naman yatang kaso.

O Anong sarap mabuhay sa mundo
kung walang bobong istorbo,
mga kapitbahay o boss sa trabaho
o ilang balang daplis
ng ilang gagong pulis
at ng iba pang sangkaterbang lihis
na talaga namang kainis-inis,
mga produktong inilalako
mga pinunong unano
mga sundalo mga obispo
at samutsaring relihiyon
samutsaring imbestigasyon
sanay na tayo, kunsabagay,
sa ganitong mga bagay-bagay
na nakakaimpatso.

Subalit sa mundo ay wala pa ring tatalo.
Dito lang umuulan ng eksenang di malilimutan:
kakabagin ka sa walang humpay na katatawa
at sa pagtatalik nang walang sawa
at sa kalungkutang di mo maunawa
at sa inspirasyon ng pagkanta nang mahina
at habang namamasyal ka sa kalsada
ang lahat ay nakikita
nasasamyo ang mga sampaguita
nahihipo ang mga estatwa, napapantasya
kahit ang mga di kaano-ano,
kunwa’y nahahagkan sila o kaya’y naaano,
nakapagsusuot ka ng korto
at makukulay na sumbrero,
nakapagpupuyat sa disco,
nakakalangoy sa batis
nakakapagpiknik
sa gitna ng tag-init,
lahat ng ito na pawang nagpupugay
sa iyong buhay. Okay
sa olrayt, Bay,
habang naghihintay
sa gitna ng inyong pagsasaya

ang nakangiting punerarya.

ODA

Manggagawa

ni Jose Corazon de Jesus

(16 pantig bawat taludtod, may caesura sa ikawalong pantig)

Bawat palo ng martilyo / sa bakal mong pinapanday

alipatong nagtilamsik, / alitaptap sa kadimlan;

mga apoy ng pawis mong / sa Bakal ay kumikinang

tandang ikaw ang may gawa / nitong buong Santinakpan

Nang tipakin mo ang bato / ay natayo ang katedral,

nang pukpukin mo ang tanso / ay umugong ang batingaw

nang lutuin mo ang pilak / ang salapi ay lumitaw,

si Puhunan ay gawa mo / kaya ngayo'y nagyayabang.

Kung may ilaw na kumisap / ay ilaw ng iyong tadyang,

kung may gusaling naangat, / tandang ikaw ang pumasan

mula sa duyan ng bata / ay kamay mo ang gumalaw

hanggang hukay ay gawa mo / ang kurus na nakalagay.

Kaya ikaw ay marapat / dakilain at itanghal

pagkat ikaw ang yumari / nitong buong Kabihasnan.

Bawat patak ng pawis mo'y / yumayari ka ng dangal

dinadala mo ang lahi / sa luklukan ng tagumpay.

Mabuhay ka ng buhay na / walang wakas, walang hanggan,

at hihinto ang pag-ikot / nitong mundo pag namatay.
