All about people and drinking

Ang sabi ng mga ka tropa ko ng mga tambay, tricycle driver, seaman, bankero, abogado at doctor at pati lamok, ‘Habang lumalalim ang gabi, lalong sumasarap ang inuman at pulutan.

Well, it really is true, figuratively and literally.

Literally, in the sense that the longer you stay and drink, the level of alcohol goes higher.

Figuratively, in the sense that the more alcohol you have in your system, the more your senses become numb and thus, even if you are drinking the worst kind of liquor, at kahit rubbing alcohol, everything tastes great, lalong sumasarap.

And the longer the drinking session becomes, the more it turns out to be fun, loud and noisy, the more neighbors you are pissing off especially the wives and their pet dogs. If you are lucky, they will just ignore you but most often than not, you will have an uninvited guest, mr pulis patola knocking at your gate.

Asset or Liability?

The Basics Of Cash Flow

The basic is. What pattern do you see if you will get a P100.00 bill and monitor where and how it is transferred from 1 possessor to the other? How does it flow? The pattern for a typical Pinoy is.

You earn from your work, you spend it on food, gadgets, clothing and other basic needs. Before you reach the next payday, paubos na yung pera mo. But that’s ok payday is just a few days ahead and it doesn’t matter if I run out of money, I am expecting money again any time soon. This cycle goes on and on and you make some sidelines or create other ways to earn but it seems that money was never enough. ( I am tempted to explain further pero usapang basics lang ). So you can’t leave the job that you have because a week without work would affect the cash flow you have to support your family and needs. As much as you wanted to accept another job, the gap would make you pay less for a couple of days, which makes you a slave to your boss. At least, you have a job to support your needs. So to illustrate.. . Cash is flowing inside your pocket. Years have gone by doing your monotonous routine. Question: what if you get fired? Or you were forced to retire because there are new and younger people ready to take your place. What would you do?

As an OFW, Makati Executive, Top Salesman, Engineer, Attorney, Teacher, etc.. What if it all ends? The sweet cash that enters your pocket every 15 th and 30th suddenly comes to a halt. There are two things you can buy with your money: An asset and a liability. To describe each;

Sigaw sa kamalayan - sa ating dekada

Hawak mo sa yong kamay ay panahon
Ang panahon ay ngayon
Ngunit kung ang ngayon ay gagawin mong kahapon
Ano pa ang silbi ng panahon
Mga paa ay ihakbang
Mga kamay ay itikom
Puso’t isipan ay tibayan
Ang pakikibaka
Ngayon ang umpisa
Daloy ng luha, kahirapang sigid
Dapat ng ibaon sa kahapon
Pag-asa’t tagumpay
Na sinikil ng iilan kahapon
Ngayon dapat ng angkinin
Ibagsak ang mga pasista at
Mapang-aping uri
Tanikalang gumapos
Sa mahabang panahon
Sa palad mo ay wawakasan
Ngayon na! Ngayon na!
Ang panahon
Ang aking kalayaan.

Alam ba ninyo maging homesick?

Sabi ng tatay ko
Gwapo ako
Sabi ng nanay ko
Of course
Sabi ng asawa ko
Talaga
Sabi ng mga nagging girlfriends ko
Yuck
He is so
You know
Sabi mo magaling ako
Sabi ko
Yan ang opinyon mo
Sabi nila
Sira ulo ko
Sabi ng marami
Sino ba sya?
Sabi ng mundo
Does he exist?
Pero alam nyo
Di nyo naman talaga ako kilala
Sino nga ba ako?
Tama ba tatay ko
Tama ba nanay ko
Tama ba  asawa ko
Tama ba nagging girlfriends ko
Tama ba sabi nila
Tama ba sabi ng karamihan
Tama ba sabi ng mundo
Tama ba na di nyo ako kilala
Siguro nga

Sa huli
Sino nga ba ako?
Kahit ano ang sabihin nyo
Kung sino ako
Alam ko na yon
Noon pa
Matagal na
Dahil ako
Ay hindi
Superhero
Di rin pwede maging Darna
Kasi straight ako
Kung sino man ako
Ang alam ko
Ako ay tao
Sa puso
Sa isip
Sa salita
At sa gawa

Meron lang ako tanong
Alam ba ninyo
Kung papaano maging homesick?

Isa pa, isa na lang
Huli na to, hayaan nyo na ako
Ikaw
Sino ka nga ba talaga?
Kilala mo ba kung sino ka?
I wish
Sana nga!
