Who wants to be my guitar hero?
“Playing a guitar is a lot of fun. It’s like beating and hitting your drum” (From the Ramon Bautista Show… not sure with the 2nd line)
Feeling so lazy, even if I need to do a lot of school works I decided to dream of myself playing a guitar. Then I browse my Rock Nation Song hits and I saw the guitar chords. Then I get a paper and draw 5 horizontal lines and 6 diagonal lines. Then I imagined that as my guitar. Yes, I’m really looked stupid with that but I don’t care because I really wanted to play guitar. I’m learning via air guitar how to play “Huwag mo nang Itanong” by eraserheads thinking that it is easy. With only a number of chords. Then D and G major muna. Tapos tinignan ko sa guitar chords. Actually kahit konti may guitar experience na ako at my 4th year high school. Where my classmates and schoolmates bring their guitars and play with it during recess or lunch breaks. Kaso I’m confused about the open and dead string. Pano ba yun? Nagagawa ko yung D and G major but I’m but I’m not sure kung tama. Grrr… wala kasing mag tuturo sa akin… wanna help? Anyone out there? hahaha
Tomorrow I will search online what is open and dead string or catch Ramon Bautista show… sabi nga ni Ramon “Playing a guitar is a lot of fun”

Reunion, under construction?
"Sumasakit ang ulo ko kakaisip sa'yo"
I never felt this certain feeling before. Something in me tells that ereaserheads reunion is on the way. Why is that? Because I’ve seen some symptoms that the reunion will imminent. First, the real reason of the break up was identified. I think it’s around 2005 when Diane Ventura was interviewed at PULP magazine. (If you haven’t heard about it click) Then I read at a song hits that when someone asked Ely who is the closest band to them he said The Dawn. Then when Ely had a heart attack, Marcus and Buddy didn’t hesitate to support him. So with that lumalaki yung chance that the reunion will happen. But Raymund is the only one who is not in the whole Ely scene. I mean, he didn’t go at LIVEly, at the hospital or they even didn’t talk to each other. Well now hindi pa rin ata nangyayari yun. Pero the fact that the Ely, Raymund, Marcus and Buddy seen in one roof is (14th NU Rock Awards) a huge improvement to this whole brouhaha.

Cinderella time
“Totoy Wag kang magpagabi baka humandusay ka dyan sa tabi…”
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtjv2ouNDjeXBDX429s46Vfl0ML4Fh9wm2io91Ae1rhGORQAxhDnCqpRjzH3cDKrpjl5X5oEpjMxfMRO53v1ubFxn4sebSNVxnLJ5xxnJdWUv0_pKNowMKW7HPvI92zO_8Hy-H/s400/TIME+IN.bmp)
After the standoff at Makati, they decided to implement curfew, from 12:00-5:00 am. I heard that the last time it was applied was at Martial Law. I got scared at first because I thought Martial law will be implementing again. I heard lots of sad stories about that. Anyways, I agreed on having curfew. With that, I think crimes and accidents will be lesser. But I know that it can affect taxi, jeepney drivers, 24/7 stores and all of those people who has job at night. Having curfew means less gimik and more staying at home which means lesser bad things can happened maybe with curfew the percentage of having premarital sex and teenage pregnancies will be lower.
What do you think?

Super Sweet 18
I watched Super Sweet 16. I’ve seen some of the episodes and I want to react on it. The show gives you an idea about teens in Unite States. Like if they want to have a party, they will make sure that it’s the best among the parties that you will attend or attended. Another is American teens are really brat. All of the girls show the following characteristics:
+Spoiled Brat
+Disrespectful
+impatient
+self centered
+Liberated
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaWJVvDBJYW6zFZPFOTgefIVdbOD9GzQ95yYr9rY_wpizMqPydz_LdiMcxUr_eVDHzPbKDuu7RO2ZtAlJey0F89Quc8UUl9jPwCjQVsMb9WYUUiZzPZA2mrdTQeTUw7cNaARQJ/s400/sweet_16_logo_2.jpg)
Why? In what I saw the girls treat their moms like their maid. As in they shout at them, pinapahiya in front of many people and not saying “po” and “opo”. Hehehe…
And did you see their clothes? it seems they will post for FHM. Did you see them dance? It seems they are ago-go dancers. I saw one episode, where I think she and her mother is a Filipina (parang bisaya pa nga eh). I thought they will set apart from those girls in the Super Sweet 16 show. But they were the same. May halo na kasi.
Here in the Philippines, the average families usually celebrate the big party on 1st, 7th and 18th birthday. Yung debut sa atin ay very elegant and family oriented. Like 18 gifts, candles, etc… I don’t know if they have debut there. then ang catch nung party sa kanila is their party should be the best among the rest, yung you’ll be proud that you rode in a horse as an entrance to your party etc. here basta maging masaya yung celebrant and of course the guest din.

if i am not mistaken ito yung girl na i think half noypi
Kung hindi ninyo maitatanong eh I will be pa next age (as what Dj Ramon and Dj Tado usually say on their show), I mean I’ll be 18 on January. I’m not excited because of the party. Wala naman talagang party, because I don’t like that. sana may event on January like a big concert then dun na lang mag celebrate or something. I’m quite excited because I’ll be 18 and means a lot of responsibilities will throw in my way. At my age, pwede na din akong makulong, pwede na kong pumunta sa Octoberfest, sa mga pang 18 na place, bars, movie house, ngeeek… hehhee. I’ll be step closer to the future.

Ang bagong bokalista ng Banda ng Bayan
Last October 24 the final for Bagong Liwanag- the search for the new member of Rivermaya was held at Music Museum. I wasn’t there, because it’s invitational and I’m not invited.

The ka-ADIKan in me…
Best word that can describe me… ADIK. Hehehehe… I’m not the usual addict. I mean I am not a drug user, smoker, drinker or anything. Pero even if I don’t do those things, I act as if I use drugs or whatever. Hehehe…
I like to talk about random things.
I concur with what I heard on the radio. The dj said that “di mo kasalanan na mahirap ka pero kasalanan mo kung mamatay ka ng mahirap”. How poor is poor? Being poor can also be shown on different aspects not only being financially or materially poor but other things like spiritually poor, socially poor, intellectually poor, and economically poor.
Those who are economically deprived:
+Land tillers
+Fisherman
+Scavengers
Those who are deprived of fundamental political, cultural or religious rights:
+Cultural minority
+The so called “political prisoners”
+Religious minorities
They are just few examples of what is poor. At our Theology, Lay Apostolate and NSTP I had chance to know and interact with those who are called “poor”. It’s a wake up call for me to comprehend that I am very fluky to have this kind of life. Yes, I am lucky I’m able to eat 3 times a day, go to an exclusive school and so forth. But it also frustrates me that even if I have this kind of life I am not able to help the les fortunate people. Well I kind of help them by praying every night. This is how my prayer goes “Sana ang mayaman tumulong sa mahirap at ang mahirap ay yumaman”. Haha wasak!!. Pero tama naman eh. Those who are “rich”, it means rich spiritually, emotionally, socially etc, they could help those who are “poor”.
Being poor are not hindrance to success.

Disbanded: Dicta License
I just heard the news at MyxNews. I admire the band because they write patriotic, nationalistic songs that bands usually disregard to write about. According to the news it’s not a bad break-up. And that’s good news. But I don’t know if it’s true.
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEuplsoXelMpfGS3w90Dx_PZPRGI1dXOoENbsOdFHBkTuK5KD9wNdLQpt4aZBiP7YBaxKtDFSAGSb8XyybDl_G2aWyXJKnkX061henQtL7XIJl9PI1dm6ZejXcK7Or1Uxn9lFI/s400/dicta.jpg)
To be safe is to be unsafe
I really hate the Glorietta bombing. Now, my mother is not letting me to go to malls, gigs, and any places that are crowded. I believe that whatever happens to you is according to God’s will. Yes, I am the one who decides what I do, but some other elements that are included are in God’s hand I guess. I have a limited time here on earth. I want to enjoy it. I also believe that if it’s my time then so be it. God is the one who made my life and He has the right to end it if He thinks my journey is over.
If you think about it there is no such thing as safe place. You’ve heard the Korean guy who killed his classmates at their classroom. You know about bombings in the church, malls, banks, market anywhere… if you think you are safe in your home, well think again. Your LPG gas could explode anytime, you may have short circuit, terrorist will attack you, and anything could happen to you even bizarre things. Well, we could prevent it. Like the old saying says “prevention is better than cure” and “an apple a day keeps the doctor away”. Hmm… disregard the last one.
Unexpected things make life more exhilarating expedition.

What's going on?
I feel lucky and kind of having 2nd life. I am supposed to go to Glorietta after going to school to buy some clothes. I didn’t go because my friends decided to not go to school. so hindi na din ako umalis. Then at 1:30 pm sumabog ang Glorietta 2. if you think about it maybe at this time I’m not here writing about this. Now I’m scared going to Glorietta. Last week I went there for almost 2 times. It really scares me. awoooh!!
Because of this I realized that I have some things to do. I mean I didn’t die or get wounded there because it’s not yet my time and I still have some work to do. I need to do my mission… to save the earth from the forces of evil…
As of this moment there are about 8 casualties and about 80, more or less which are wounded. The cause is still not known. They tell it’s because of LPG gas, some says it’s a bomb. Then a while a go I also heard about some suicide bombers, etc, etc…
What’s going on?
I don’t know…

Label: Sony BMG
Album Artist: Pupil
Content: 12 tracks
Price: 285 bucks
The album once again is very good. Although at first I told to myself parang sayang ata pera ko. Pero when I give it a try malupet talaga. Yung theme maybe some are ordinary pero nalagyan nila ng twist or added the Pupil style. Ngayon medyo na de-determine ko na yung sound nila. Wala na yung E-heads sound like some people say tungkol sa 1st album. Yung Mongols medyo nandun pa rin. There’s nothing wrong since parang Mongols parin less Bogs and Jerome. Pero konti lang din. I also realize that ely really knows what songs people will love. Like now they are out with “Sala” as their single yun yung isa sa mga songs na medyo crowd friendly plus “Disconnection Notice”. Pero kahit meron siyang ability na ganun hindi niya nillubos lubos. And that’ what I like about them they are here not really because of popularity but because they want just to play and share their music.
Who will like it?People that are open-minded about music.Best among the rest:“Sala”, “Disconnection Notice” for it’s up beat and disco feel, “Teacher’s Pet” and “Monobloc”.
Album Sleeve:
I didn’t like it that much unlike on “Beautiful Machines” but the songs occupies what it lacks.
Rating:

Disband: OnL
“Coz’ this angel has flown away from me…”
Last Sep.30 Orange and Lemons finally call it quits. They say that it’s because of musical differences. You will let me believe it? Well…. I think it’s the safest way if you are to ask why you disbanded. I heard a rumor or gossip that Macoy and Clem is an item. Then they broke up, that’s why pati ang band. I don’t believe yet but I think it’s possible. But let us leave it and talk about their music instead.
I am not a fan but I don’t hate them either. What happened to our music biz… andaming nawala… wonder who’s next?

Bagong Sem
“Bagong liwanag…”
Another semester had passed and another yet to come. I got some chills down at my spine because of the possibility to take my Accounting 2. I dropped it last year and I didn’t take any summer because I need a break from all the hurt that my Accounting subject brought to me. I am not used of having low grades. It’s not being arrogant ha. No matter what, whether I like it or not, I need to go back to my Accounting 2 and hopefully this time I will learn a lot.
I will pray to all the saints just to be successful this time. It sounds absurd or desperate but I did something wrong so I must take some actions. I think I need some dose of Pupil to give some adrenalin rush. hahaha labo!! Ayos pala yung ma sad straight English… hahaha

GIG-GOLO
While I am writing this, I’m still in daze. Why? I watched Pupil’s gig at Robinson Manila. Mind you it’s not my first time to watch the gig of Pupil but it’s my first time to watch them perform their new songs from the album “Wild Life”.
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTeCKtVUcr1CNJeXXUoplMWzaEdMPSFFMO3KejUrJZGx8nVTbYkwpid5WPdfNeDudONrql_4nkwDa7-IcQtHQtRopKDFpNU-xO6Q1uNLrX8M29q61RCvDWYc_zC3V4mjQg6tGb/s320/%5Drob.jpg)

Dumating sa point that I want to go back home than asking directions. Asking something is not really my thing (kahit sa school). I didn’t ask for directions but mag 4:00 na so I asked the girl vendor. Then she told me go straight ahead. And alas!! Nakita ko na yung UP. alam ko na kung papaano. Medyo mahaba pang lakaran. Siguro over-all naka 1km ako sa paglalakad. (baka hindi lang). Buying Pupil’s cd is the entrance to the gig. Then when I’m there I realized I left my “Wild Life” c.d. shit!! I don’t know if can still enter kung dinala ko man yung c.d. pero siguro mapag-uusapan naman. Naiinis talaga ako. Then nung nagkalakad ako when I looked at my left I saw Yan and Wendell. Not sure if Dok and Ely were also there. na star struck ako. Partida di pa face to face. I also realized that mas gwapo si Yan kaysa Yael (Crush ko si Yael ha. Then I saw the poster and it’s stated mga 5:00 pa. So went there somewhere. But when I saw that parami na ng parami ang tao sa gilid pumunta na ako. Matagal bago nag simula, pero kung tutuusin hindi masyado matagal kasi mga 5:30 something nagsimula medyo maaga lang talaga yung mga tao pumunta. So tagal naming naghintay pero the good thing is they were playing “Sala” my current LSS. Talagang in one day 10 times ko pinakikinggan yan. Pang patanggal asar yung pag play ng “Sala” for me. mga 20 times ata pinatutog. Yung nasa gilid ko asar na asar na. then enter the fab four.

Last Song Syndrome for this year
“Coz’ the last song syndrome here, Is your voice I hear…”
Ito yung mga songs na nalagay sa lss for the month ko or basta na adik ako ng sobra...
~~+Sundo by Imago sa media player ko 6 ang play count niya pero di pa kasama yung count sa mp3 ko plus yung pagkanta ko pa nito. I am really glad Imago made another ballad like this. I hope they lesser the “Tara Let’s” kind of song, although it’s also good but Imago is known and best in nice lyrics and ballad kind of music.
~~+Rebound by Silent Sanctuary may 10 play count siya and the same thing sa sundo and other songs will follow hindi kasama yung sa mp3, cds… for me sa album ito yung best song nila. I like how they incorporate their fondness of playing basketball to a song about a relationship.
~~+
~~+Lss by Stonefree ito yung pinakagusto kong kanta from them. I think maganda yung album nilang delorean from the first one. May 13 play count
~~+So Blue by SinoSikat? I’m really glad I learned about their music. I am not into soul but yung goal ni Kat is to bring the soul out of every one and eventually na capture niya yung sa akin. ang astig niya for doing that and for knowing that konti lang ang may gusto sa soul…11 play count
~~+Sala by Pupil may 12 play count na siya and napaka fresh niya palang sa media player ko. Talagang ito yung song na sa isang araw mga more than 5 times ko pinapakinggan sa mp3, cd, media player… minsan nga parang naiirita ako sa sarili ko kasi paulit ulit kong pinakikinggan pero gustong gusto ko naman. Talagang tinatapos ko unlike other songs na pinipindot ko agad yung next. Parang may gayuma ata yung song…
~~+ Stolen by Dashboard Confessional “they have stolen my heart…” may time din na pinakinggan namin ni Laisa to sa mga isang araw more than 7 times. Papalit palit yung solo tapos yung may babae na back up…
~~+Safety in Numbers by Urbandub ang ganda ng kwento ng song. kasi they are far away from each other. He kept telling to himself that waiting was fine pero in his heart every hour hurts except the last one kills. Ang astig ni Gabby Alipe sa song writing. I just realized that pwede siyang pumantay sa galling ni Ely Buendia sa song writing or Ebe Dancel and Rico Blanco.
~~+Signal Fire by Snow Patrol I have one word Astig!!
~~+Pilit by Hilera I never thought they could sing this kind of song. Flexibility is one characteristic they have in order to stay longer and be more successful. 11 play count…
~~+ Potential LSS siguro pag pwede ko ng i-let go ang Sala Disconnection Notice naman still by Pupil. Dumudikit sa utak yung lyrics, tono… dapat lang kasi konti lang yung lyrics at paulit ulit yung “Disco-nnection No-tice…” ang astig… may 4 play count na…

October Celebrants!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Oops… Pacquiao and Meralco did it again!
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPEaSAfXu2KGVfcNnavPLH4EZn5tMJyt3wf8e4B1XPLqFhTeYqtSSzj1yv0YQC1IQMCn9SzFoXTm1mTAJ3wq1hjYVsi1asPAWIUfBu2ZKTTDX2MNqD1M7tPsX5x7drs4qVcIHU/s320/images.jpg)
Bayang magiliw
Anyways nung nagkaroon na ng kuryente I think mga more than 30 minutes yun, round 2 pa lang. astig!! Ang tagal ng commercials. Hindi masyadong maganda yung laban unlike packman’s previous fights. Hindi masyado nagkakatamaan. Then when everything is said and done… Pacquiao did it again. Tumigil nanaman ang galaw sa Pilipinas for about 3 hours (halos 30 minutes lang yung laban pero yung fight took 3 hours). Congrats!! Pacquiao did it again as well as Meralco!!

Bagong Liwanag

Album Artist: Rivermaya
Content: 5 tracks
Price: 290 bucks at Tower Records (but at some record bars I heard it’s less than 200 bucks)
Review:This is the album after the recent demise of their vocalist Rico Blanco who is also the song writer for the band. What I could say is the theme for the song is Rico, how they cope about what happened and about next chapter to the life of Rivermaya. “Sayang”, is the open letter for the fan. It talks about what they feel what they do after all and tell us what we suppose to do. Although the song says that “Sayang ang luha” for me it has a dipper meaning and its saying si Rico. Why? Sa last part puro Sayang lang ang maririnig mo. “Sayang” is quite sad but kind of uplifting (lalo na kapag fan ka talaga ng band). “Banda ng Bayan” is a song about musicians, reality, enjoying and making music. I like this song because they inject some of their previous hits like “Elisi”, “Isang Bandila”, “Kung Ayaw Mo Huwag Mo”, and “Panahon Nanaman”. I also like kung pano nag blending sina Mark and Mike with the voice of Japs. Then “Olats” is a slang term for talo. Mark wrote this song. I think it’s about the previous vocalists. With this line “kawawa na naman tayo. Ganyan talaga Talo na naman tayo kahit binuhos ko ang lahat talo nanaman tayo” for me kaya talo nanaman tayo because it seems like they are going back to the start. Rico is the heart and soul of the band. No wonder it is such an enormous lost for the band. “Sumigaw” is now Studio 23’s Station I.D. may line dun na “Sumigaw tumingin kung saan ka nanggaling …” for me parang may connection parin si Rico. It’s kind of clear isn’t it? then the last song is “Nawawala” it’s my least favorite song from the album. Mike is the voice behind that song. and parang hindi ata na edit yung voice. Parang playa sa mga notes.
Well, this album is not that great if you compared to their previous album with Rico. I think it’s because parang they came up with an EP para magparamdam sa fans na nandito pa rin sila. Yung mga songs ay parang mag kaka connect lang sa isa’t isa. But a thumbs up for Japs, Mike and lalo na kay Mark na never pa atang kumanta sa album.
Who will like it?The fans who stayed and still willing to support Rivermaya after the demise of their vocalist.
Best among the rest“Banda ng Bayan” for injecting Rivermaya’s old hits and “Sayang”.
Album Sleeve:
It’s ok. Pinaka iba sa mga recent albums nila dahil dati halos puro sila yung nasa cover.

Magtapon ay di biro
I can’t understand why we Filipinos, even if someone will tell us like 1000 times that we shouldn’t throw our trash anywhere it seems we can’t throw at the right place. I’m sick seeing people throwing trash anywhere and everywhere. If only I have the guts to tell them. When I ride on a jeepney and be able to watch people, I always catch a person throwing trash. The day is not complete without someone throwing his/her trash. Are they not there when landslides, flashfloods happened? Are they not yet contented to the effects that happened? Are they still wanting for more? I think even all of their family members will die it wouldn’t still help them to avoid throwing trash. I know it’s kind of rude but what if that’s the only answer?

1) I saw adults throw trash
2) The adult told to me to throw it anywhere
3) I don’t think of the effect it would bring
1) search for a trash can
2) if no trash can is available keep it
3) then throw it when you already find one
Tryin' to change
“I see my sigh going up to heave in a sky Full of shattered hopes and bleeding dreams”
As I read my post I think I don’t have those great journal entries. I will try at least to impart something that will be slightly useful. I want to talk about not just music but a little of politics (if my mind permits), environment, showbiz, business world etc. and I will still talk about my daily thoughts if I have. Ok so let’s try to do it now.
…..
……
……
Wa epek!! Hehehe… I will post na lang my project for theology about my presemt milieu. I got 94% for this while some got only 80 ++. Hahaha yabang!!
Here’s the present milieu of me and my surroundings. This is how I look the environment, people at our surroundings and even in religious matters. In environment, we all know that we are experiencing global warming. Lots of animals became extinct because of nowhere to live. Illegal loggers are everywhere and they are there to cut all trees that they could see. We are experiencing drought because of lack of rain. Then when it rains we are experiencing abundance of water in form of flood. A long time ago my parents and my grandparents always tell to me how beautiful and simple life was. Fresh air was there, fresh food, everything is so nutritious. But now, when all that fast food chains dominated it seems we can’t get enough of it. Another is the price. My grandparents always make us jealous by telling stories about how cheap a commodity was. How lucky they are, I said to myself. Now we’re here in the 21st century where under the control of technology. I have a fear that when the time comes the computers or robots are the one controlling us. Now I am kind of aware about what’s happening in my environment. I do simple things to take care Mother Earth. I remember myself throwing trash everywhere. How shameful that act was. I turn off machines, computers, lights etc. when I will not use that. I also try to teach my little brothers’ simple act. All things can start in simple and small things.

Arriba San Beda!!
“I-shoot mo i-shoot mo i-shoot mo na ang ball, i-shoot mo na ang ball ang sarap mag basketball”
Nakapanood lang ako kahapon sa t.v. well, di ko naman siya masyado tinutukan. Unlike the lasalle-Ateneo game na wala naman akong kilalaman sa mga schools nay an, yung San Beda ay sisiter school ng aking school. ang Patron saint nila ay si St. Benedict at ang amin naman ay si St. Scholastica mag kapatid sila. Hindi lang simpleng magkapatid, twins sila. Sila dapat ang tawaging super twins. Dahil pareho nga silang saints. Astig!!! Nanalo nga pala Beda. Walal lang…

Animo La Salle
“ayaw ko ng mamoblema. ayaw ko ng mag isip gusto ko lang mag basketbol… basketbol tayo”
I am neither a Lasalita nor an Atenista but I am a Kulasa. I watched the LaSalle vs. Ateneo game where the latter lose. Only one point is the difference. I don’t know what got me watching their game. I am not a basketball fan, and not from those schools. Well, my school is near to LaSalle and most of musicians are from Ateneo. LABO!! hehe Maybe because last Monday I listened to the double trouble at NU 107. and we all know na matindi ang kompetisyon ng dalawang school na ito.
Well it’s not strange if I will like watching basketball now. I remember when I was a child my big brother and me always plays this NBA basketball cards. This cards is similar to the Pokemon cards where there’s a picture. Then the points, rebounds etc. where put on that card tapos parang pataasan. I don’t know if my brother only made it up. I also remember that I played basketball with him. No choice siya eh. At that time we are not allowed to play outside so ako lang talaga makakalaro niya. Then when PBA is so popular my family watches that always. I think telenovelas, koreanovelas, chinovelas are not that popular pa. I remember to like Ginebra. I don’t know why. And I have a crush on Marlou Aquino (Tama ba?) basta yung may parang goggles. Well now I have this crush to Chris Tiu of Ateneo Blue Eagles. I could say mas gwapo ang mga Atenista kaysa Lasalista.
Now I also watch this cartoon “Slum dunk”(well I watched that before kaso nakalimutan ko na istorya) because the characters are funny and also the story. It’s a story about how Hanamitsi Sakuragi learn to play basketball.
Ngayon nagsisisi ako kung bakit hindi ako nakapag try sa LaSalle. I want to be part of the crowd. It’s funny I need to watch a game of our school against benilde to cheer to our school but I will not attend. I should study on a university or a co-ed college. Bwiset!!
Animo!! LaSalle although I don’t know what does it means.

Ang Pag-ibig Alinsunod sa Pakete ng Tide Ultra
Ni Gilbert M. Sape
Sabi ko
Ayaw kong maglaba
Hindi ko alam kung bakit
Siguro’y ayaw kung makitang
Nakasungaw ang bituin sa ulap
At pinapanood ang bawat kong kusot
Pero hindi kagabi
Ang totoo naglaba ako
Sinamantala ko ang pangungulimlim
Ng bituin sa nangingilid na lupa
At natitiyak ko maputi ang aking nilabhan
Sinunod ko yata ang bawat instruksyon
Sa likod ng pakete ng Tide Ultra
1) Kunin sa timba ang damdamin
Matagal nang binabad
2) Kusotin ng mabuti
Pabulain pabulain upang matiyak na
Ang mga salitang noon pa sana sinabi
3) At dahil nahuli na sa sikat ng araw
Na siyang pagkukulahan,
Lagyan na lamang ng Clorox
Upang kumupas at walang Makikita
Sa mantsa ni Eros
4) banlawan
maraming banlaw
at tiyaking maisama sa tubig
ang mga sentinmiyento at paghihinayang
5) ibuhos sa kanal ang tubig
upang makapagtago sa burak
ang mga pagsinta
6) isampay sa mahanging lugar
ang nilabhang damdamin
pabayaan itong makahinga
matagal na rin namang
naikubli sa baul
pagmumuni pagkakatapos…
napigaan ko na ang damit mariin
nakalimutan ko nga lamang
pigaan ang tubig sa aking mata
paalam muna
samantala’y magpatuyo muna ako
ng damit
ng mata
sana’y walang makakita
salamat sa pakete ng tide ultra
