Letters to Marilou

1. No bright stars not eyes becharm me but thine sometimes at night my pillow thrice upturn and spells lovespeak ere I to bed resign content am i that while the candles burn You’d dream of me or perchance remember the one who penned your name upon a sky I oft include a wish in my prayer that you beloved marilou are nigh and if heaven’s sorrow’s brought upon me for loving the god’s minion rosabel fain would i walk into my Calvary but then beloved I shall love you still alas! my love when the morrow is come without you beside me I have no home 2. O when I behold the westering sun & feel over me the fall of the night when bamboo leaves I hear humming as one sweet symphony ‘neath the gleaming moonlight And summer’s breathing attemper & low whispering uncouth sounds in my ears perhaps untold secrets that i should know or unheard love songs in the olden years i think of thee beloved of our prime still strong still in love And still young at heart dancing the tango moments of our tim

Today in 2001: Ngarem na Bilay

ala sais nilaknaban la’y bilunget so dalan a pasempet naksawan la’y salin ngalngali agla naikurang ed betel na dagem ambelbelat la ira’y lokablokab na mata tan takeb tantandagan so silew ed dorongawan na abung balet arawdawi ni pirawat la’y makasabi pian makapanpainawa ed manaalagar lan dukulan no makaugip ak komun nabangon ak la ya wala’d akualan mo Katawan twilight of life / six o’clock / hidden by darkness / is the road home / tired are the feet / almost unable to stride / in the coldness of the wind / really heavy / are the lids of my eyes / and shoulders / watching for the light / from the window of the house / but it’s still far away / hoping to arrive / so as to rest / in the awaiting bed / if i fall asleep / i wish I’d wake up / on your lap o god (translated by Ayesah Tecson)

12,000-strong crowd to sing Pangasinan folk song

Thursday, October 13, 2011 DAGUPAN CITY -- A historical event will take place in the city minutes after the St. John the Evangelist Metropolitan Cathedral bell is rung at 6 p.m., which signals the Angelus, on Friday. Students from 15 private and public high schools will have their grand choral performance. With candles lit, they will simultaneously sing Malinac Lay Labi, Pangasinan’s very own native folk song. They will be joined by their fellow students, schools officials, and teachers, city officials, and Dagupenos in a crowd that is expected to reach 12,000. The mass singing will be held at along Burgos Street (from the West Central Elementary School I up to the corner of Rivera Street-Burgos Street). This is the culmination of Project Sanengseng, a one-of-a-king choral competition conceptualized by Lingayen-Dagupan Archbishop Socrates Villegas. It was carried-out in partnership with the Dagupan City Schools Division headed by City Schools Superintendent Alma Ruby Torio. Father Vill

Calming my Inner Storm

I have just deactivated my facebook account. So, for the meantime I will be using my old blogger account to post some news, announcement, and updates here. -- I will be in San Carlos City, Pangasinan tomorrow (10/15/2011) to give a lecture on Pangasinan Orthography. I was invited by some teachers who are currently writing and compiling Pangasinan stories for Grade 1.
