Ang Tulang Walang Pamagat

ANG TULANG WALANG PAMAGAT

Isang panahon sa buhay ko nang ikaw ay dumating
Masasayang sandali aking nadama sa iyong piling
Kay daming alaala na ikaw ay kasama
Ngunit ngayon nga ba ay talagang wala na?

Sa isip at puso ako’y patuloy na umaasa
Na ang pag-ibig natin ay hindi pansamantala
Alam ko sa puso kong ako’y tunay mong minahal
Ngunit ikaw ay nalunod at ika’y nasakal

Aaminin kong ako ay tunay na nagsisisi
Na ako ay nawalay sa iyong pagkandili
Hiling ko sa Diyos na sana ako’y di pa huli
Upang ipadama ang pag-ibig sa araw at gabi

Kung alam mo lamang nasa puso at dibdib
Ito’y pagsintang sadyang kay ribdib
Sarili ay babaguhin kung iyon ang paraan
Upang pagmamahal mo ay muling makamtan

Lahat ng nais mo ay aking gagawin
Sa lahat ng bagay ikaw ay susundin
Ano pa ba ang kailangan kong gawin
Upang ang pag ibig ko ay huwag limutin

Ang hiling mong di pakikipagusap
Ito nga naman ay sadyang kay hirap
Nadarama ko ngayon ay kasiyahang huwad
Sapagkat di ko kalikop ang iyong palad

Ang nais ko lamang sana ay maayos muli
Itong relasyon wag sanang sa paghihiwalay mauwi
Hindi ko kakayanin kung lumisan ka ng tuluyan
Sapagkat ikaw lamang ang nais ng pusong uwian

Ngunit kung ang lahat ay sadyang tapos na
Sabihin na lamang ng ako’y di na umasa
Kahit katumbas nito ay ang pangungulila
Pipilitin kong limutin ka sinta

Kung sadyang paalam ang syang hahantungan
Ako ay may hiling na sa puso mo at isipan
Alalahanin mo lamang masasayang sandali
At laging tandaan na sa puso ko ikaw ay natatangi

Sadism and Masochism (S and M) in Intimate Connections

Sadism and Masochism (S and M) in Intimate Connections
The 50 Shades of Domestic Partnership

Dalya has a thought.

When we feel too much love for someone, have we asked ourselves if we are really in love or are we just addicted to the pain? An addiction to an exquisite pain of wanting someone so unattainable. That feeling that you wanted to be freed and yet you are chained and cannot be moved. Then I thought maybe, just maybe S and M can’t be defined solely through one partner whipping the other during an intercourse. It can also be categorized as an emotional relationship between two partners in an intimate connection.

An emotional sadist is someone who abuse their partners verbally, those who make decisions that could harm another or those who don’t think about their partners at all, emotionless. If someone belongs in any of these three categories, it can provide total torture to the other person in the partnership. This is the person who says “Love hurts. Love is never easy.”

On the other hand, an emotional masochist is someone who takes and longs for drama, for pain until the feeling of numbness is felt then it’s time to let go. Those who create issues and arguments in order to get the attention of the other person involved. This partner exhausts the other regardless of how patient the other one is. This is the person who says “If you love me, then why does it fucking hurt so much.”


Then I looked back on all the relationships of my friends and of myself, and it got me to think further that it does happen.  It happens in bizarre and trivial ways. Some may not be very transparent or others just simply choose to ignore them. Funny how the 50 shades kind of ways can be implied in an actual domestic partnership.

St. Nicholas Resto. A new destination for Foodie Lover.

St. Nicholas Catering Services. A new destination for Foodie Lover.
Unique. Quality. Yummy. Affordable.

My friend Daryl invited me for sweets around 9:30PM Father’s Day night. His treat of course, haha! He was so persistent in bringing me into this new foodie hub in Mandaluyong to pig out. He said he was really curious about their desserts so he wanted to tag me along and taste it as well.


When we got to the place, it was an old house turned into a restaurant. It was so homey and very pleasantly comfortable. I noticed the statues and figurines and majority of the designs are separated by sections. It gives a certain vibe that is kinda romantic and not too exposed which is very rare to find nowadays. We were seated on a table that can be set-up for a date-like event. There are white curtains that can be rolled down for a more private feel. The ambiance is very cozy. There are several tarps on the wall and divides the room into different setting. The background of the stage has Cherry Blossoms on them. Who needs to go Japan if you can have it right there? Some of the tables are also equipped with board games so customers can play while waiting for their food to be served. At the center of the restaurant is a huge signage that says L-O-V-E. Impressive!







As I review the menu, I found some dishes that are really unique and I haven’t tasted so far. It made the trip worthwhile. Some of the foods that caught my attention were:
  • Tinolang Chicken sa Pakwan
  • Paru-Parong Tilapia with Sweet Tamarind Sauce
  • Tapang Kabayo, Baboy-Ramo at Usa
  • Adobong Crocodile
  • Okoy Gulay
  • Civet “Alamid” Coffee being The Most Expensive Coffee in the World
  • Liquors
Below is the complete set of what they can offer to their valued customers.


 


So, for the desserts – Daryl ordered Chocolate Lava Ala Mode (for sharing) and two banana strawberry shake (Yum!). When I tasted it, I was surprised because the cake was warm and it matched the cold chocolate ice cream. The technique is to slice it in the middle to showcase the overloading chocolate filling. Whoaaa! Very mouth-watering! I can still recall its delicious taste. The food was exquisite. It’s like I am eating in a five-star hotel except for the fact that this is more affordable! Our bill was less than Php 500.00 for the entire order.




We also got a chance to meet the General Manager and Proprietor of St. Nicholas Catering, Nick Pelaez. He was very accommodating and told us bits and pieces of stories as to how the business started. He initially set-up a catering service and the business was extended in a form of a restaurant whom he manages single-handedly.




What are you waiting for? Please visit St Nicholas Catering if you wish to experience foodgasm extra-ordinaire.

The restaurant also accepts events such as debuts and weddings. They also offer catering services. For more information, you may visit their website at www.stnicholascatering.webs.com or their Facebook pages at www.facebook.com/stnicholascater and www.facebook.com/stnicholasresto or call them at telephone numbers (02) 788-6426 or (02) 535-7637.

The restaurant is located at No. 1 Fatima cor San Rafael Sts., Plainview Subdivision, Mandaluyong City.


What is the Ideal Living Situation for Two People in a Relationship?

WHAT IS THE IDEAL LIVING SITUATION FOR TWO PEOPLE IN A RELATIONSHIP?

When two people become a couple whether straight or gay, what is the ideal living situation? There are times in a relationship when the couple couldn’t just get enough of each other and want to spend most of their time together especially at the early part of the relationship. For some romantics, if they could live within the same skin as the person they love, they would.

But the real question remains, what is the ideal living situation?

Should they maintain their own place together? Is it rushing things if they do? Should they practice the getting-to-know each other phase before doing so? This is co-dependency.

The in-between. Two people still maintain separate house but do sleep overs. The one that indicates intimacy in a relationship but still connotes individualities. Is it ideal to leave things in your partner’s house to signify attachment? Is it ideal to maintain two separate houses in case of a meltdown between partners?

And lastly, the old school type. No attachment. Living separately and practicing tradition of marriage first before intimacy.

What are you up to? What is your preference?


Personally, I do not give a heck as long as you are with the person you truly love. It wouldn’t matter whether you live together or apart. What is important is you know the value of each other and that is what matters most.

#MatthewsChronicles

ISANG PAGBATI SA ISANG TUNAY AT TAPAT NA KAIBIGAN SA KANYANG KAARAWAN…
#MatthewsChronicles


Dahil mahal kita at maski ayaw ko nang balikan ang dati kong size, I will still publish this photo kasi ito talaga ang nagsimula ng epic na friendship natin. Yung tipong loose pa sa iyo ang medium sized shirt at body fit pa sa akin ang XL (take note, male shirt). Nakareserve talaga ito para sa iyong kaarawan. Kumbaga, medyo close pa lang tayo dito. Di pa masyadong solid.



Hindi sapat ang isang post para isalaysay ang pagkakaibigang nabuo natin at dahil papasikat na blogger na ko (may kayabangan! Hahaha!), naisip ko… you deserve a space in my blogsite, so here you go.

Simulan natin noong payat ka pa at baboy na baboy pa ko. Ahente ka pa at TL mo pa lang ko. I never thought na magiging kaibigan kita. Yang angas mo na yan? But fate indeed has funny ways of turning things around. Sa dinami-dami ng pinagdaanan natin mula sa challenges and achievements ng team na ikaw ang POC ko, problema mo sa mga babae (highlighted yung mga, napansin mo ba?) at problema ko sa mga di masyadong lalake. Lahat na yata ng problem including spiritual, financial, emotional pati na mental isama mo na, pinagdaanan natin yan. Yung sandamakmak na tawanan, iyakan (ako madalas, ikaw wala lang), galit, tampuhan – lahat yun sinakop ng pagkakaibigan na meron tayo. Hinding hindi ko makakalimutan yung mga panahon na nagtatalo tayo sa kung ano yung talagang tamang mga proseso pagdating sa Western Union. Yung mga panahong china-challenge mo kong mag isip dahil sa napakagaling mong lohika. Ang kaso, madalas mayabang ako na kahit tama ka, ako pa din dapat ang masunod (hahaha!).

Those were the days. Syempre mas masaya nung time na nabuo na yung “The Crew” featuring the people you know who. Dumating din yung panahon na napagod ka nang maglaro sa pag-ibig at nung nakita mo na yung “The One” mo sa katauhan ni Badoria. Masaya tayo! Sobrang saya!



Ang istorya ni Bullet. Napakaraming experience to share na kasama si Bullet. Dinala nya tayo sa napakaraming lugar. Quiapo, Divisoria, Tagaytay at kung saan-saan pa. Naalala ko pa ang trip sa Manila Ocean Park together with then Ms. Breen. Dito nabuo ang ating friendship story. Lima pa tayo nun, ako nga lang walang partner lagi. Ang banat mo pa, seloso at selosa kayo kaya ayaw niyong may kahati sa kin. The feels ha!



Then there was Ice. Ang unang trip with Ice na buo tayo, natatandaan mo ba? Dito sa Ortigas, sa Metrowalk – as usual, lima pa din tayo nun. Tulad ni Bullet, andami ding memories. Recently, ito ang ginamit nyo ni Rookie na pangsundo sa akin para ihatid ako sa ospital sa isang kabanata ng buhay kong napakabigat. Si Ice din ang kasama mong lagi sa tuwing susunduin niyo ako ng madaling araw para kumain sa Kanto Freestyle.





Si Rookie Badoria. Sa dinami-dami ng babae, sa isang babae ko lang nakita na tumino ka. Na kahit papano, tunay na tumameme ka. Alam ko din ang istorya ng pagsisimula ninyo. Kung paanong yung “crush” mo ay naging syota mo, girlfriend mo. Hmmm kelan at ano na ba ng susunod? Looking forward ako dyan. I will be one of the happiest to see that milestone in your life. At kahit labag sa loob ko na gawin nyo kong ninang dahil sa bata pa ko, e sige payag na din ako basta kayong dalawa. Ang lakas niyo sa kin e. I could never say NO. Kaya wag mo na yang pakawalan ha?!



The Biggies. More than being a friend, you treated me as a sister. Sa ating dalawa, sadyang mas mature ka at aaminin ko na marami akong natutunan at natututunan pa sa iyo. More than the friendship, hinayaan mo kong makilala ang pamilya mo. Masarap isipin na nakatagpo ako ng pangalawang pamilya, sa Canedo clan. Nakakataba ng puso na pati nanay, tatay, mga kapatid pati na mga pinsan, tita at tito mo ay naging extended friends at family ko. Damay mo pa si Lolo Boy na nagbigay ng ampao at relo nitong nakaraang pasko. Ang swerte ko nga naman sa inyo! Pati sa lahat ng events at out of town e invited ako. Astig talaga!



A Brother’s Concern. Naalala ko nung nagresign ako at di ako nagta trabaho. Concern na concern ka na maubos ang kayamanan ko. Naalala ko pa ang sabi mo nung muntik akong masagasaan na di ako pwedeng mamatay hanggang di ko nata transfer sayo ang properties ko. Tae ka! Ang sweet mo! But seriously, the work I have now, thank you sa iyo. Salamat sa bilib mo sa akin. Salamat sa pag alalay sa tuwing may mabigat na suliranin akong hinaharap. Salamat sa pagpapamukha ng masasakit na katotohanan. Mga bagay na di ko nakikita pero ikaw na analyze mo na. Salamat for being one of the brainy people surrounding me. All I can say is “Thank you” for always being there. You make me feel secure and that I should not be afraid to face life’s challenges because no matter what, I have a friend and a brother to lean on in you. You also made ways to ensure na iayos ang mga bagay para sa akin. You’ve become a guide for me to resurrect burnt bridges with other people, isa pang pasasalamat duon.


Career. Ito, I may not say this often but I have to tell you that I am very proud of you for achieving what you have now. You have come a long way to prove yourself and so you did. If there is anything, I am proud of was that I have become one of your mentors. And now, with Acky you are in good hands. I can only see success in your future.


Kapadyak. At dahil sa iisa ang nakahiligan natin kamakailan lang, natutuwa akong isipin na ang isa sa pinakamatalik kong kaibigan na kasama sa lahat ng kalokohan ay isa ring Kapadyak. For two special occasions, puro pangbisekleta ang regalo ko sayo. Ang bike rack ng kotse mo at ang bike stand. Potek, nasan na ang G Shock ko? Hahaha naalala ko lang bigla. Pero sana matuloy na tayong pumadyak muli, pwede na ko ulit!


Madami ka pang role pero ito ang major na pwede kong isalaysay dahil sa katunayan, ito na ang pinakamahabang blog na nagawa ko at Taglish pa. Cheers! You are another year older, another year wiser!

Para sa iyo – June Matthew, June, Matthew, Matt, Machu; Salamat sa pagkakaibigan at isang maligayang bati sa iyong kaarawan.
