DOCTOR

They work with herbs and penicillin.
They work with gentlenessand the scalpel.
They dig out the cancer,
close an incisionand say a prayerto the poverty of the skin.
They are not Godst
hough they would like to be;
they are only humantrying to fix up a human.
Many humans die.
They die like the tender,
palpitating berriesin November.
But all along the doctors remember:First do no harm.
They would kiss if it would heal.
It would not heal.
If the doctors cure
then the sun sees it.
If the doctors kill
then the earth hides it.
The doctors should fear arrogance
more than cardiac arrest.
If they are too proud, and some are,
then they leave home on horseback
but God returns them on foot.

ampalaya

im still guilty of being mad. i dont know. pero cguro nga dahil may sumthing p ko sa mokong na un. nagagalit ako. at the same time naiisip ko p rin ung lahat ng nangyari. marami p ring tanong sa isip ko kung bakit nangyari lahat ng to. at ngaun kahit mahigit isang taon na parang pakiramdam ko kelan lng un. pero ang laki n ng pinagbago ng lahat...lalo na siya. lalo na sila...naiinis akong isipin na ako nagkakaganito pero siya ano balewala lahat. worse, mukhang masaya na siya. nakakagalit na ako hindi p rin totally ok....ano ba diba. hanggang kelan ko mararamdaman to. pero sa kabila nun palagi ko p rin siyang naiisip. isang malaking kahibangan. galit ako. nasasaktan ako.

subic fun

yesterday we had much fun visiting the zoobic safari and ocean adventure. me and my friends both from ceu and plm went there. nakakatuwa nga kc kahit pa it is the first time they were introduced to each other click pa rin talaga. lahat go sad nga lang that some of our invited friends weren't able to make it. pero sulit talaga, kahit na maghapon lang un. nakakatawa nga kc super ingay talaga namen lalo na during the close encounter with the tigers. that was really memorable. hay basta simula pagpasok p lang sa safari til we exit ocean adventure it was purely FUN. masayang experience talaga. even our way back home, haha patibayan p rin sa kuwentuhan. xempre sino pa ba naman ang mga matibay na daldalera kundi me and esther. oh well nagising silang lahat kaya ayun laitan and chismisan session til we get back to manila we had dinner before everyone goes home. hay ayaw p rin talaga paawat hahaha. that's the joy of having makukulit at madaldal na friends lyk them. it was a long da...
