The Naked Truth
13 April 2014

You are naked, aye, you are the truth
You are bare, aye you are beauty
You are simple, aye you are one
You are silent, aye you are good

But why, do you seek me?
Am I the truth that completes you? 
Am I the beauty that transcends your being?
Are you not content with the one?
Were you not good as conceived by your past?

Can't you see me in my nakedness?
I, like you am also thirsty with the truth;
I, like you am also craving for the one, my being;
I, like you am good, we are, as how others judge us.

But, we are naked.
Let, not concealment define us!
Others want us to unveil us unto their naked eyes
They delight in seeing our nakedness
Of seeing what we confess

They delight in judgment
They are happy with biases
They live with the dictates of the sacred
They live with things affirmed by others but not happy with them.

The sheet we weave, the memories we hold.
The truth we believe, the beauty which we are bold.
We seek for the one yet we are diverse
We seek for who we are, believing that others may believe.

Yet we are born skeptic in our age,
So we pretend not to believe
But we are crying inside, behaving like children
Agreeing in front of the face seeing directly at our eyes.

When can we see the truth
That slap our face, and beauty
That slash our shame, and the one
Which shall show us that there are many... not one.

We laugh because we see the difference, not the similarities.
We cry because we do not see why but we see the mystery.
We are afraid because we still do not know.
We hope because we know what we do not know.


We are a naked truth... 
Are we beautiful?
Integral?
Naked.

Ang Troso

Ang Troso 27 June 2007 Ako ay isang troso, mula sa kaitaasan ng bundok ng Sierra Madre at Cordillera, ako ay naglalakbay sa kahabaan ng Ilog Cagayan pababa hangang madaanan ko ang mga iba’t ibang probinsya ng Isabela, Apayao, Cagayan, at iba pang pareing binabagtas at binabaybay ng pinakamahabang ilog sa Pilipinas. Ang aking paglalakbay ay kakitaan ng magkakaibang bilis at bagal ng pag-usad dulot narin ng ibat ibang bilis ng agos na syang tumatangay sa akin pababa sa bukana ng ilog. Gusto ko mang madaliin ang paglakbay, hindi ko magawa sapagkat ang bilis ng aking pag usad ay nakaayon sa bilis ng tubig na syang kumakandong sa akin. May mga pagkakataon pa na ako ay nahihinto ng matagal dahil sa mga balakid na kahoy, dumi at maliliit na isla na syang humaharang sa pagagos ng tubig na tumatangay sa akin. Marubdob ang aking hangarin na makita ang karagatan. Ganun paman, marami rin akong masasayang karanasan sa aking paglakbay. Una na rito ang kagandahan ng ibat ibang lugar na aking...

Go Solo Adventures England

English breakfast The UK is an acronym of The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland . Geographically, like the Philippines, it looks like an archipelago separated from the rest of mainland European countries. If the Philippines has the sobriquet, the Pearl of the Orient Seas , the UK seems to be a Pearl of the Occident Seas as it lies surrounded by waters and off the coast of European nations. It is also a nation that virtually influences many states on Earth because of its past commercial and colonial powers. It has left its hegemony over the nations that it commercially governed through the British East India Company during the time of colonization and over the states created by its former citizens. It is the origin of the English language which is widely learned by many people around the world today.  It is also known as England, but this is a misnomer because the UK includes other states and kingdoms such as Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
