filipino demek daha doğruymuş daha kapsayıcı olması bakımından, bundan öncekileri de öyle değiştirmek için bıraktım

I keep being reminded.

Keep seeing myself in your eyes;

the reflection of myself creating a new feeling.

You whisper in my ear and I let it linger.

I let you walk away and find myself huddled alone

in the corner, memorizing the words of another new

language happily [being alone]. I scribble into

journals and decide it’s good enough

to feel it and then let it out.

I find ways to distract myself and

empty the over kill into

pots and pans that I eventually

throw out [stop holding on].

Reminding myself that self pity is

trash and I don’t need

it to acknowledge the pain.

I don’t need you to see it for me

to heal it but you do see it.

You tell me all the time not to be

shy but I don’t know if I’m shy or just full of shame.

I push through the feeling of dying to share

what I keep in the part of my ribcage I never

let you touch and you hold me. You reward me

with the thing you don’t even label as “reward” but

I would do anything to feel your love heavy against

my skin so I keep breathing, pushing, trying, crying,

dying, falling apart in front of you,

vulnerability eating

me alive right before your eyes, smiling…

You keep reminding me… It’s okay to want to be alive

even if it feels like everything could be dead inside.

Maging tayo lang, araw-araw, magiging best date ever.

Kahit sinagot mo na ako, liligawan parin kita araw-araw.
Pupunasan ko luha mo pag umiiyak ka. Yayakapin kapag natatakot ka.
Bubuhatin pag pagod ka na. Papaypayan kapag naiinitan. Papayungan kapag nauulanan. Papasayahin kapag nalulungkot. Tutulungan sa mga assignment mo. Sasamahan kahit san pumunta.

Hahawakan ko kamay mo kapag nalulungkot ka, kapag natatakot ka o kahit wala lang, basta’t maramdaman mo sa mga palad ko na mahal kita kahit di ko sinasabi.

Yayakapin kita ng mahigpit para malaman mo kung gaano kita namiss, kung gaano ka kahalaga sakin, kung gaano ka kaprotektado pag ako kasama mo, at kung gaano kainit ang pagmamahal na nararamdaman ko para sayo.

Kahit na pagbawalan mo ko sa mountain dew,kahit na tumulo sipon mo, kahit na magpatakan balakubak mo, kahit na umutot ka sa harap ko, kahit late ka lagi magreply, okay lang, kasi mahal ko ang buong pagkatao mo, kahit ang konting imperfections mo.

Sabay tayong manonood ng sunset, at pag gabi na, magbibilang tayo ng stars. Sabay tayong magdadasal. Sabay nating tutupadin mga pangarap natin. Sabay tayong tatanda.

Hahawakan ko kamay mo upang ipakita sa buong mundo, may paki man sila o wala, kung gaano ako kaswerte sayo. Dahil tinupag ng Diyos ang dasal ko.

Kahit di na sumikat ang araw araw-araw, makita lang kita, liliwanag na ang
buhay ko. Makita ko lang ang ngiti mo, nasa langit na ako.

Maging tayo lang, araw-araw, magiging best date ever. Taga mo pa sa moon.

Sana maging tayo nga.

Just a few of the Tagalog & Bisayan goddesses.

Laon was the Supreme Bisayan goddess of agriculture, harvests, and of Mt. Kanlaon. She would send a swarm of locusts to the crops if angered.

Lakan Pati was the Tagalog intersex deity of sown fields and fertility. According to the Boxer Codex, they were also prayed to and given offerings by fishermen for a good catch. The manuscript also mentions that Lakan Pati was the giver of water to the crops.

Ina Gunid was the Bisayan goddess of war and one of the trinity of war deities along with Balangaw (god of the rainbow) and Makanduk (god of war and plunder). according to Miguel de Loarca in his Relacion de las Yslas Filipinas  (1582) they were invoked for success in war and in the mangayaw raids. She was also associated with another trinity of deities, the other two being Arapayan and Makbarubak, when working with and concocting poisonous oils and charms, one involving a charm made of coconut oil and crocodile teeth.

Diyang Masalanta is the Tagalog goddess of love & childbirth. It is highly possible that she was once associated with the Obando Fertility rites along with the god Linga & Lakan Pati.

Magwayan was the primordial goddess of the sea mentioned in the Bisayan creation story. They are also the one who ferries the dead on her boat across the spiritual river, Lalangban to Sulad, purgatory. There she delivers them to the god Sumpoy, God of the Underworld.

Contrary to popular belief, Mayari is not the actual name of the Tagalog moon goddess, it’s Kulalaying (according to the Noceda-Sanclucar Vocabulario de la Lengua Tagala (1754))also called Dalagang nasa Buwan (according to the Carta sobre la idolatria de los naturales de la provincia de Zambales, y de los del pueblo de Santo Tomas y otros circunvecinos by the archbishop of Manila, Felipe Pardo (1686-1688). She was prayed to during the new moon for life and prosperity. A chant sang to her during the new moon was written down in the San Buenaventura dictionary (1613) which went as “Buwang Panginoon ko, payamanin mo ako“which translates to “Moon, my Lady, make me rich.”

pag gising ko bigla niya ako hinalikan tapos sabi niya:

“Ang sarap mo mahalin.”

Wala. Ikaw na. Ang tagal kong hinintay na may magsabi niyan sakin. <3
