Ro Akong Amiga nga Agnostic


Ro agnostic suno kay Webster hay isaeang ka tawo nga nagakabig nga ro Dios o ro pinakarason it tanan hay indi makilaea o masayuran. Basi man, basi owa. Makara ro panan-aw ko akon nga amiga.

Sa akon nga panan-aw, tanan kita, tumueo-o ka man o bukon, agnostic ka man o atheist, hay may ginakilaea nga dios. Ro tawo nga atheist hay nagakabig sa Dios nga patay o tawohanon eamang nga concepto. Bisan pa, imaw ron hay may ginaprioridad sa anang kabuhi--pwede nga kwarta, gahum, poder, bugae, do a kaugalingon, do a familia, gugma, trabaho, eugta ag iba pa. Rong bagay nga mahaega sa anang kabuhi hay imaw rong nagatao kana it inspirasyon ag kahueogan, kabakod ag direksyon.

Sa akon nga amiga, rong bagay nga nagatao kana it kasiguruhan hay rong sciencia. Kana, rong science eamang do may kapas nga makatao it explinasyon sa tanan nga butang nga ma-abot it aton nga mga senses. Kana, rong observable hay imaw rong matuod.

Sa akon nga panan-aw, ro science rong dios it akon nga amiga. Sa akon nga logic, imaw man hay tumueo-o. Sumueonod imaw it sciencia. Ngani nga bukon imaw it agnostic.

Pitiw 101 for the Curious and the Kids at Heart

Image
So you want to know the art of playing pitiw . That you are reading this piece tells me so. Pitiw, my friend, is my old folks' version of the western world's baseball or softball, only that we don't use a ball but a stick. The knowledgeable will surely react at my simile (for it is actually a "snake game"), but let me finish. Let me describe it by laying down the materials and rules. First, the materials: 1 stick, 2 cm diameter x 50 cm long - Kamagon is preferred but Coffee or Guava stem will do--they don't easily crack (This one serves as your bat) 1 stick, 2 cm diameter x 16 cm long - of the same wood with the bat (This serves as the ball or originally, the snake) Second, the venue: Find an open field to play--we used to play on the streets when the traffic was almost zero during our bygone years. Today, the Ceres Bus and the " Ro-Ro " are making a lot of cracks on the newly paved road which are ideal for playing Pitiw but the busy traffic wo

SOOTHING AS NIGHT WINDS ARE: An Interpretation of the poem by that title by Salvador B. Espinas

Image
Love is gentle, love is quiet Like any distant star; In loving by which we approximate the nature of love, we do not coerce those we love—as much as possible we give room for freedom to grow and respect each other’s independence, i.e., each other’s time of searching. In loving, the lover is like the distant star, manifesting his presence and yet quietly, not trying to obstruct or block the path of the beloved. He stands besides quietly assuring her of his gentle presence and constant attention. Love is beauty, love is music Soothing as night winds are. Lovers are enchanted by the wonders of creation. One who is in loved would often quips that everything seems beautiful and that “ life has music, rhythm and rhyme” –which actually is. Somehow, love enables man and woman to see reality as God sees it. As even in times of trouble, loves comes like night winds, soothing our weary mind and aching heart.

Something About Tumbo (Cara y Cruz): A Hypothesis

Image
They say that mahjong is just a diversion, a recreation of some sort of the bored and the retired. But they say that cara y cruz is a different case. However you look at it--in both sides of the coin (pun intended), it is gambling and therefore those who indulged in it (read, the poor ones) are playing in conflict with law. And so, since yesteryears, people accepted those facts. Mahjong is recreational while cara y cruz or tumbo is gambling and illegal at that. An Alfonso showing its head and tail or if your prefer its "hari" & "corona" But I was amused at the scene of a group of individuals by an "island" at corner T.M. Kalaw and Taft Avenue I happened to pass by while doing research at the National Archives of the Philippines sometime in August 2010. I just alighted from the Light Rail Transit (LRT) at UN Station and was finding my way to cross T.M. Kalaw when I noticed a bunch of lot playing cara y cruz on the elevated concrete "isla
