Kung IBig Mo Akong Makilala Tula ni Ruth Elynia Mabanglo
Kung ibig mo akong makilala, lampasan mo ang guhit ng mahugis na balat, ang titig kong dagat-- yumayapos nang mahigpit sa bawat saglit ng kahapon ko't bukas.
Kung ibig mo akong makilala sunduin mo ako sa himlayang dilim at sa madlang pagsukol ng inunang hilahil, ibangon ako at saka palayain.
Isang pag-ibig na lipos ng lingap, tahanang malaya sa pangamba at sumbat may suhay ng tuwa't ang kaluwalhati'y walang takda-- ialay mo lahat ito sa akin kung mahal mo ako't ibig kilalanin.
Kung ibig mo akong kilalanin, sisirin mo ako hanggang buto, liparin mo ako hanggang utak, umilanlang ka hanggang kaluluwa-- hubad ako roon: mula ulo hanggang paa.
This is the only filipino poem that I loved over the years. Actually, this is the only filipino composed poem that I know as well.
Here is the video of the song by Susan Fernandez Magno
See sometimes you think you know yourself, but maybe not. And sometimes you think you know a friend or just anyone you think you knew and maybe not again.
9intervals, the idea is derived from a cat having nine lives. I guess, I don't have to tell you how much I love cats!
We've been through intervals in this lifetime. Guess, I'm lucky to be alive. I don't think I would be lucky the next time. But nevertheless, we have our intervals. A certain episode that we remember in the past that affects our future. Or maybe just something that we can learn from. A little something to look back to.
