Bisrock!

Bisrock. The rising phenomenon all over Visayas and Mindanao has recently had another stage of its popularity with the album launching of the now acclaimed indie bisrocker Missing Filemon. The carrier single of the band's second album Sine Sine has caught the Cebuanos by storm.

Sine Sine

Sine-sine wala ta'y laing lingaw
Kandila luyo sa habol
Katawang binayran ug pisong kinawat
Sa gubaong pitakang lola

Anino sa mga artistang papel
Gihinganlan ta'g si Pedro'g Sabel
Silang bida ning atong istorya
Sa gugma nga wa'y katumanan

Sine, sine, sine sa bata pa
Di na unta matapos pa
Bisan paman sa pagdagan sa panahon
Lantawon mga eksena nga molabay
Tanang tawo makasakay
Saksihan ta ang pagdagan sa panahon
Panahon

Sige-sige hala'ng imong paglakaw
Ayaw'g kahadlok may kahayag
Mudan-ag sa dalang mangitngit
Lakip na ang langit daw lapad nga adlaw

Ang kinabuhi sugilanong hiwi
Kalipay, kasakit ug kalami
Silang bida niining salida
Sa gugma nga way katuman

A Letter to Elisha Joelle Samarah

My Dearest Elisha, I promised myself that I would write about this day since the very first time I saw your cute tiny face at the Intensive Care Unit in the hospital where I delivered you. I told myself that I would chronicle the events so you would understand how great God is in your life and how you have come to be a miracle in your father and I's lives. However, I cannot tell you everything now for the story of how you came to be is too long for you to understand at the moment and too difficult for me to explain in writing. But, I'm going to try nonetheless, soon, little by little, and hopefully, the chronicles would be complete when you are old enough to comprehend. For now, let me just remember the sweetest yet the most difficult day of my life.  Your father and I did not expect you to come at that point in our lives. I, especially, wanted to achieve a lot of things and did not even think about settling down anytime soon. When I found out that I was pre...

Better Than Ever

While I was riding on a taxi yesterday, I heard someone on the radio greeting his friend (whose name happens to be the same as mine) an advance happy birthday. My sister beside me laughed and said, “It sounds like it’s really for you.” I gave out a grin and suddenly remembered that my birthday is going to be next week. I couldn’t understand if I would be happy because I’ve been blessed with another year again or be dejected because of the fact that I am getting older. But looking at what I was before and what I have become now, I couldn’t help but be grateful and be blissful for the blessings that God has given me. I was born on August 18, 1986, the last of the four children of a couple struggling to keep their marriage. While growing up, I was aloof from all the members of the family and I was always left at home. I was not the typical child who recreates with friends. I was a home buddy and that made me a very shy person who lacks self confidence. The only friend I had was the te...

Dead to Sin

I have a confession to make. I sin.  That's hardly a surprise actually. All of us sin. However, the degree upon which we feel the shame and the guilt of sin vary from one person to another. Others feel a guilt so terrible that they condemn themselves while others feel sorry for what they have done but are able to shrug it off at the next moment. Probably for the most of us, we don't even realize that we have sinned.  I have learned nonetheless that there are some sins that you can easily avoid while there are others that make you struggle so hard you almost always want to give up. The sins that can be seen externally most often are the ones that are easy to overcome. But the sins that lurk in your heart -- the ones that other people wouldn't even know that you have (and most often than not you don't even know you have) -- are the ones that would make you think twice about your character. Then, one day, a thing or a person or a circumstance, causes that sin hi...
