A Poison Tree : A Poem on Friendship and Anger

I am not angry. But, I was very before. I have kept it in me, maybe up until now. As much as I want to talk to that person how much angry I felt it in the past, I just kept it in me. It is still hidden in here. It's still a make-believe to say that I have forgotten of that time. Yet, I am still not telling it more than this. Maybe, one day it will just broke down. But, I couldn't and wouldn't talk to that friend anymore so it doesn't matter anyway. Maybe, I was never a friend to that person. But if one day, that person calls me a friend, it's nothing but a friendship in a poison tree.

An Easter in Dingalan Mountains

Jump to Itinerary and Expenses The Bus Ride from Manila to Cabanatuan At almost noon, we arrived at Cabanatuan after 3 hours of travel from Manila. At first, I was hesitant to take the non-AC bus bound for Dingalan, opting and hoping we could take the van to avoid the scorching heat. Quickly, we were time pressured to jump at the next available public vehicle (t his ride appealed like it would tarry no man ). And so, we were en route to Dingalan on an open-windows, non-aircon bus at the peak of the afternoon heat. But as the wheels ran, I could only think of my anticipation as we got closer to our next destination. Next to us, an old lady accompanying a big group of fellow passengers asked the bus conductor for a fare discount. She claimed that her son, whose name she mentioned twice though I didn't bother to catch, works for the bus company. The conductor with his subtle anxious look explained in detail how or where the fare will b...

Misnomer no more, pronouncing "Laguna de Bay" the right way!

Few years ago, we went to Paete/Pagsanjan by commuting from Cainta via mostly R-5/Manila East Rd. On our return home, we commuted via mostly Manila South Rd/AH26. In short, we made a 360 Laguna de Bay trip. At Tatlung Kruz, overlooking Paete Town and Laguna de Bay After visiting Bulusan lake, I started to categorize my lake travels and wondered what was the largest lake in the Philippines. I found Laguna de Bay– unconsciously included a few times in my past itineraries. I wondered why a lake was called "Laguna de Bay", pronouncing "Bay" as in the inlet of the sea that's smaller than a gulf. Laguna de Bay means "Lagoon of the town of Bay". The town Bay is pronounced Bä'ï or “Bae”, the latter is also the alternative name of the town. As I write this blog, I still say "bay" out of habit. Now, I must misnomer no more if I pass by Laguna de Bay, by the by!
