A Girl in Black Under the Great Mahogany Tree

"A Girl in Black Under the Great Mahogany Tree"


Who are you. I wonder if i would see you again.

Why are you behind me. I wonder if you're kind.

What are you thinking. A smile and i knew.

Now you're here beside me, I wonder if this is forever.

Mga Taga-salo

...

"Pramis babalikan kita."
"Sige, sabi mo yan ha."

Lasing ako sa kape... At natatanga ako sa dami ng mangyayari sa linggong ito...

Wala lang. Wala tong kuneksyon sa post ko.

Ehem... Balik sa post...

___________________

Medyo napaisip ako sa sinabi ng kaibigan ako tungkol sa mga "back-up" AKA "taga-salo".

Tipong naka-kontrata na sila...

Yung mga "Pag wala na kong mahanap na mas ok sayo bago *gives date*, tayo nalang (porebereneber)"...

O kaya "Pag di pa ko kasal pag *gives age* na (tayo/ako/ikaw), tayo nalang magpakasal."

Maraming variation yang kontrata na yan e...

Yung iba naman... "Sige, tayo pero bahala ka gawin gusto mo. Basta tayo at sa 'kin ka lang dulo."

o kaya "Mahal kita, mahal mo ko, pero tsaka nalang maging tayo pag *gives condition/date*."

Pwede ding "We're young. I want to experience life as much as possible ng walang tali. Don't worry i love you. We'll be together someday."

_____________________

I pity and admire those people who agreed to these kind of contracts...

Luge sila kung tutuusin e... (Hindi lugi ang nagpresinta ng contract dahil magprepresinta ba sila kung luge sila?)

Pity kasi tanga sila... Kayang kaya silang lamangan... Malaki ang chance na talo sila sa dulo... Na naghihintay lang sila sa wala...

Admire kasi matapang sila... Para kasi silang naglalaro ng russian roulette... May assurance na 5 sa 6 na chamber ang walang bala (contract)... Pero hindi sigurado na hindi sila ang talo sa dulo(breach of contract)...

Kayo ba? Papayag ba kayo sa mga ganyang kontrata?

Pagmamahal~

"Pagmamahal"

MahirapPaniwalaan

Isang patulirong tanong ang sinabi ng isang batang lalaki sa kanyang kalaro, kitang kita sa mukha ng bata ang pagkadismaya ng hindi masagot ng kanyang kalaro ang kanyang tanong. Hindi pa nakuntento ang bata. Patuloy ng natigil ang paglalaro nito hangga't hindi ito nagkaroon ng sipag sa paglalaro at bigla na lamang umuwi.

Hindi maalis sa isip ng batang lalaki ang katanungan iyon, na alam niya namang hindi masasagot agad agad ng mga taong nakapaligid sa kanya dahil sa kanyang edad."Inay, Alam nyo ho ba ung pagmamahal? Ano ho ba iyon?" tanong ng bata. Hindi nagsalita ang kanyang inay, Kung hindi, ngumiti lang ito sa batang lalaki."Itay, Alam nyo ho ba kung anu ung pagmamahal? Ano ho ba iyon?" Muling tanong ng nagtatakang bata. Ngunit hindi rin ito sumagot at patuloy na nalungkot ang bata.

Tumungo ang bata sa labas at naghanap ng makakasama, Nakita niya ang kanyang matalik na kaibigang babae. Nilapitan niya ito."Huy! Alam mo ba yung pagmamahal? Ano ba iyon?". Sumagot ang batang babae, at sinabing "pagmamahal? di'ba love yun?". Ngunit hindi pa rin ito maintindihan ng batang lalaki. Biglang tumakbo ang batang babae palayo. Hanggang nawala.


Patuloy na naglakad ang batang lalaki. Nakasimangot, Naghahanap ng sagot sa kanyang katanungan. Nagiisip, Nalilito. Biglang naisip ng bata,"Bakit ko ba inaalam ito? Ano bang kinalaman nito sa akin?". Napaupo ito sa kalsada, at patuloy na nagisip. Di naglaon isang baliw ang tumabi malapit sa kanya at ito'y nagsalita. "Doon ! Dito ! hahaha! Ikaw! oo ikaw ! anong ako?" Sigaw ng baliw na humahagikgik habang tumatawa. Natakot ang batang lalaki, nilayuan niya ito. Pero pumasok sa isip niyang maaring ang baliw ang makakapagbigay ng kasagutan sa kanyang tanong.

"Kuya, Pasensha ho Alam nyo ho ba ung pagmamahal? Ano ho ba iyon?". Tumingin ang baliw,"hahahaha! baliw ka ba? Hindi mo alam yoon? Ano ? ako ba? Sino ? hahaha!" sabay nanlisik ang mata at muling tumawa. Natakot lalo ang bata, ngunit sa pagiging pursigido niya. nagtanong siya ulit."Alam nyo ho ba ung pagmamahal? Ano ho ba iyon?". Parang nagkamalay ang baliw mula sa pagiging baliw at seryoso itong tumingin sa batang lalaki.


"Bata, Baliw ako bakit mo ako kinakausap?"matinong sagot ng baliw.Nagtaka ang bata, lalong nalito at gumulo ang kanyang pagiisip."Hindi po ako naniniwalang baliw kayo at yoon po ang dahilan". Nagbuntong hininga ang baliw,"Bakit mo ba natatanong ang ganyang tanong bata?" ika ng baliw. Napayuko ang bata, hindi niya sinagot ang tanong ng baliw, kitang kita sa mukha ng bata ang pagkalungkot at pagdalamhati.

"Bata, Bigla lang ba itong pumasok sa isip mo?", hirit ng baliw."Oho" sagot ng nakayukong bata."Alam mo bata, iyang tanong na iyan ay isang malaking palaisipan sa lahat ng tao, Ikaw , ako , tayong lahat. Di alam ang sagot, dahil yang pag mamahal na iyan, Ang maaring magiging sagot sa lahat ng tanong", sabi ng seryosong baliw.Bumalik ang tingin ng bata sa baliw, takang taka ito, habang tumitingin sa paligid."Hindi ko ho kayo maintindihan"sabi ng bata."Bata ka pa nga, Maaring mura pa ang iyong isip, pero kahit ikaw ay bata. Malalaman at malalaman mo iyon.".Bumalik ang sigla ng batang kanina'y malungkot, Lalong nadagdagan ang mga tanong na bumabagabag sa isip ng bata.


"Inaamin ko, Hindi ko alam ang pagmamahal, Hindi mo ako masisisi, baliw ako. Hindi ako nakaranas ng pagmamahal. Kaya nga ganito ako ngayon. Kaya nandito ako ngayon, pero kahit nagkaganito ako, wala akong sinisisi. Walang akong itinatakwil na kapamilya. Wala akong ninakawang kaibigan, tinanggap ko ang lahat ng nangyari sa akin at yoon ay ginawa ko lahat, dahil lamang sa pagmamahal" Malungkot na sinabi ng baliw.

"Iyang pagmamahal na iyan ang dahilan ng lahat ng bagay . Tingnan mo ang paligid mo, Tingnan mo ang sarili mo. Nasa iyo ang pagmamahal. Nasa akin, Nasa ating lahat. Lahat ng tao ay may pagmamahal. Lahat ng bagay ay may pagmamahal. Lahat ng nasa mundo, may pagmamahal. Maaring itong maging sakripisyo, maaaring itong maging saya, maaring ring maging pagtanggap at pagpapatawad. Sana maintindihan mo bata . Yan ang pagmamahal."

Napangiti ang bata. Niyakap niya ang baliw, kahit ito'y mabaho at di kalinisan. Napagtanto ng bata ang nais ipahiwatig ng baliw."Salamat po , Salamat ng marami" dahan dahang sinabi ng bata sa baliw habang pahigpit ng pahigpit ang yakap nito. Tumayo ang bata at nagsalita ng huling pasalamat at dali daling tumakbo.Napangiti ang baliw.

Maalalahanin...

Isa ang "Maalalahanin" sa mga pinakapaborito kong kanta sa Eraserheads.

I like the "message" of the song, well in my own interpretation.

Ngayon himayin natin yung kanta para maintindihan natin:

____________________________

Saan na tayo papunta? Naliligaw na ba?- Masasabi nating may kausap ang kumakanta at naglalakad sila at di na alam ng kumakanta kung saan na sila papunta.

Dumidilim - Uulan na o kaya maggagabi na. Pwede ding sabihing dumidilim na yung kasama nya. Paanong dumidilim? Nalulungkot.

Pano nagsimula? - Tinatanong nya kung anong nangyari.

Nasisilaw, minsa'y natulala -Eto yung reaction nung nagtanong sa sinabi nung kasama nya. He's shocked, sometimes to the point he can't say anything.

*Chorus*
Nawawala, nawawala ang panaginip - Eto nangyayari sa kausap nya. Yung panaginip, yun yung kinekwento nung kasama nya. (Which we dont know. Probably "her" (assuming babae sya) love story)

Nawawala, nawawala ayaw pang gumising. - Eto naman ginagawa ng kausap nya. Ayaw tanggapin na nawawala na yung panaginip nya.


Ilang ulit nang nadapa Di madala-dala - Ibig sabihin, ilang beses na tong nangyari sa kinakausap nya. Na yung kausap nya lageng nag fafail.

Nakikinig -Eto ginagawa nya pag nangyayari yun.

Tila lumalamig Nalunod sa hangin - Eto yung sinasabi ng kausap nya about dun sa kinwekwento nya. Nalunod sa hangin means, nasobrahan sa di kailangan kaya di gumana ng maayos. (kung ano man yung di gumana ng maayos, I dont know, maybe a relationship)

Tinitiis - Ang ginagawa nung nakikinig. :)

*repeat chorus*

Tuwing umuula'y bumabaha Di na nagsasawa - Description nung lalaki sa kinakausap nya, tuwing umuulan (umiiyak) ay bumabaha. At di sya nagsasawa (read "Ilang ulit nang nadapa")

Nakalimutan mo na ba? - He's trying to remind her that this has already happened before.

Maalalahanin... - Maalalahanin St. :) , dun to nangyari.

Alaala... - "Memories", inaalala nya yung memories nya with her.

____________________________

I'm open for other interpretations, just comment... :)

Think. :)

P.S. May isa pa kong way of Looking at this Song... I'll Post it kung may mag cocomment man ng ibang interpretation.

Dimensions

Hmmmm

A relationship has 4 dimensions

1)Length
2)Width
3)Depth
4)Time

_______

1) Length refers to Quality Time you spent with the other person.

Quality Time, ibig sabihin, may significant na nangyayari. Counted dito yung pag magkatxt kayo.

-Length Question-

Gaano ka-significant yung mga oras na kasama mo sya(o sila)?

2) Width refers to the amount of Personal Information you know about the other person.

Tipong, how wide is the scope of your knowledge about the person.

-Width Question-

Gaano karami ang alam ko tungkol sa kanya(o kanila)?

3) Depth refers to the "deepness" of your understanding to the other person.

-Depth Question-

Gaano ko sya(o sila) naiintindihan ?

4) Time refers to the amount of time simula nung nakilala mo sya.

Kilala as in, simula nung nakilala ka nya at nakilala mo sya, either by name or face.

Gets?

-Time Question-

Gaano katagal ko na syang(o silang) kilala?

_______

Kung iaapply mo sa totoong buhay

Stranger = No length, No Width, No Depth, No Time

Kaklase mong di ka kinakausap pero kaklase mo ng 3 taon = No(or Very Low) length, Very Low to Low width, No(or Very Low) Depth, 3 years Time

Bestfriend mo ng 10 years = Average to Very High Length, High Width, Very High Depth, 10 years Time.

Manong drayber na kinakausap ka about sa pulitika = Low Length, Very Low Width, Very Very Low Depth (kung naiintindihan mo sinasabi nya), since nung sumakay ka sa jeep Time.

_____

Cool Di ba? :)

P.S. Credits to the one who came up with the Idea... Pasensya na if I modified it a little. :) I think its better kasi kung nasasakop nya kasi yung lahat ng types ng relationships. :D

P.P.S. Di ko alam kung may nakaisip na nito, pero sana wala pa para Orig Work to... >:)

Banatero...

Well, natutuwa ako sa kanya.

He's doing a Good Job making a collection of Pick up lines...

Meron na kong source ng pic up lines. >:)

Enjoy!

Red and White

That face of yours
perpetually wears a smile.
Just like that bee
standing at that place.

The sun shone
when you said goodbye.
Life goes on
or so they say.

Still that face of yours
wears that smile.
Just like that bee
standing at that place.

And I'm here again
in the place we met.
Alone
waiting for you.

Most Girls Are Friendly At First

Why is that? Because she doesn’t know you well yet and she doesn’t know if she is attracted to you yet. Every woman has very specific set of values she is looking for a guy. If a girl is young, she could just want some attention from cute and popular guy, but as a woman gets older she understand more and more what she is looking for in partner.

If a girl doesn’t like you, it simply means she is not interested. She doesn’t hate you, she doesn’t dislike you either, she is just not interested. Sometimes guys, like me get upset and you think she doesn’t like you, but maybe she just likes you as her friend and not more. We all want to be liked as much as we like someone. So, how do you know if she doesn’t like you? I think the first sign is if she looses interest and doesn’t give you attention anymore. Some girls are very shy and if she likes you, she would give you short attention but it would be consistent. If the girl doesn’t like you, then she would give you less and less attention, and finally she wouldn’t give you any attention.

It can be hard to realize the girl you liked doesn’t like back. It can be devastating in some cases, I mean, “Damn!” But don’t get angry or mad at her for not liking you as much as you hoped. Women are very emotional beings and they don’t always can predict how they feel. The better you make her feel good the more she will come back for more. If you can’t make your woman like you, don’t get frustrated. There are other women in the world who are even better than she is. She isn’t as perfect as you hoped her to be. She has her own faults and maybe you just loved the fantasy of “perfect her” instead of a real her. It’s okay to grieve a lost hope but don’t think about it too much and go find some other women to have fun with.

Nakakarelate ako dito sa nakasulat dito... >.< Hay...

Less and less attention then POOF wala na...

Salamat sa kung sino man ang nagsulat dito...

A Little Patch of Heaven

"A Little Patch of Heaven"

And then she smiled.

A secret hideout.
Walls full of memories.
Permanently in shade.
A little house made of wood.

In a dead end.
Place nobody comes.
No eyes that watch.
Absolute freedom.

A boy and A girl.
Too young and innocent.
Inseparable pair.
A platonic love.

The same place.
Ten years later.
The boy and the girl.
A strong attraction.

And then she smiled.

Tips sa nalulumbay...

Keep in mind that your situation can be changed, that it is not a permanent situation but a common experience shared by others.

Do not be unreasonably demanding of yourself.

Feel content about yourself in general.

Develop good habits in eating and exercise, and get adequate sleep.

Use the time you spend alone doing creative things and learning new skills.

Be careful not to judge people you meet on the basis of your past experiences.

Value your friends and their unique qualities. Work toward developing a good circle of friends. Ask for ideas from older, experienced ones.

Do something for others—give them a smile, express a kind word, share a thought from the Bible with them. Feeling needed by others is an antidote to loneliness.

Avoid fantasizing about movie or TV stars or Internet or literature characters, imagining a relationship with them.

If you are married, do not expect your mate to meet all your emotional needs.

Learn to give and take, to help and support each other.

Learn to talk to others and to be a good listener. Focus on other people and their interests. Show empathy.

:D Tips lang

Ways to Make Her Smile

1. Tell her she is beautiful.

2. Hold her hand at any moment . . . Even if its just for a second.

3. Hug her from behind.

4. Leave her voice messages to wake up to.

5. When she is upset, hold her tight and tell her how much she means to you.

6. Recognize the small things . . . They usually mean the most.

7. If you are talking to another girl, when you're done, walk over and hug her and kiss her . . . Let her know she's yours and they are not.

8. Write her notes or call her just to say "Hi."

9. Introduce her to your friends . . . As your girlfriend.

10. Play with her hair.

11. Pick her up (she loves it).

12. Get upset if another guy touches her (especially when she doesn't like it).

13. Let her fall asleep in your arms.

14. If she's mad at you, kiss her.

15. If you care about her, then (we all know this is a challenge) TELL HER.

16. Every guy should give their girl three things: a stuffed animal (she'll hug it everytime she goes to sleep), jewelry (she'll treasure it forever), and one of his t-shirts (she'll most likely wear it to bed). Also don't forget to bring her flowers or something special once in a while.

17. Treat her the same around your friends as you do when your alone.

18. Look her in the eyes and smile.

19. Hang out with her on weekends

20. Kiss her in the rain (girls love this).

21. Kiss her just for the heck of it.

22. If your listening to music, let her listen too.

23. Remember her birthday and get her something, even if it's simple and inexpensive. It came from YOU. It means all the world to HER.

24. When she gives you a present on your birthday, Christmas, or just whenever, take it and tell her you love it, even if you don't! (women put a lot of thought and effort into your gifts, because she care about you and appreciate it, even if it's not exactly what you wanted!)

25. Always call her when you say you will. It may not seem like it, but it does hurt her and makes her thinks you don't care. So call even if you can only talk for a minute.

Haha... Effective to... :D
