Gabay sa Murang Pagbabalot ng Regalo
(para sa mga nagtitipid)
MGA MATERYALES:
1 Kahon
1 Lumang panyo o t-shirt na bigay ng ex-girlfriend
Mga lumang sulat ng ex-girlfriend
Scotch tape
1 Gunting
1 Pala
1 Krus na kahoy
MGA HAKBANG SA PAGBABALOT:
Isilid ang regalo sa pinakatagong sulok
Ng kahon
Lakipan ng luha
Bago takpan ng paglimot.
Tiyaking walang hanging papasok,
Hindi dapat matuyo ang luha bago mo isara
Upang manatiling sariwa sa alaala
Ang regalong padala.
Pilasin ang mga lumang sulat
Itira ang matatamis na tayutay at talinghaga
Saka ibalot nang marahan at buong pagmamahal
Sa kahon.
Gumupit ng kapi-kapirasog scotch tape,
Mariing idikit sa kahon ang mga sulat
Upang di makatakas
Ang luhang nagpupumiglas
Makalabas.
Balutin ng panyo o t-shirt na bigay niya noong Pasko,
Buhulin ang mga dulo:
Isiping ikaw ang regalong binabalot mo.
Pagkatapos,
Humukay ng may anim na dipa sa likod ng iyong bakuran
Doon ilibing ang regalong binalutan
Saka mo tabunan
Ng mga bagong alaala.
Tarakan ng krus ang pinaglibingan
Saka mo iukit ang kanyang pangalan.

Hinaing kay Inay
(Kay Nanay Maria)
Sabi mo,
Pinipitas lang ang mga bituin
Sa kisameng langit ng dilim.
Naniwala ako sa mga habi mong oyayi
Habang pinapasuso mo ako ng mga panaginip.
Sabi mo,
Maaaring laruin ang ningning
Ng mga musmos kong daliri.
Sumampalataya ako sa iyong talinghaga
Habang pinipikpikan mo ang aking pangamba.
Sabi mo,
Ako’y lalakíng bulas
Kapag inulam ko ang mga munting liwanag.
Idinuyan mo ang aking pagpalahaw
Upang maisubo ko ang iyong pangaral.
Sabi mo.
Sabi mo.
Ngunit hindi mo sinabing
Ang kisame’y abot lamang ng mahaba mong bisig,
Na ang tala’y hindi malalaro ng aking titig,
Na kailangan muna itong tunawin sa bibig.
Hindi mo sinabing
Ang mga kwento mo’y para lamang patulugin
Ang haraya kong nag-aapurang gumising.

Oyayi ng Ina sa Naghihinaing na Anak
Tahan na, meme na
Bunsong dilat kung managinip.
Batid kong balang araw ay hahaba ang iyong bisig
At mabubuo ang paninindigan ng tuhod mong nanginginig.
Naniniwala ka sa hindi mo nasisilip
Dahil sa mga sinuso mong panaginip.
Tahan na, meme na
Anak na maligalig.
Matututo ka ring maglakad nang pikit-mata
At malalaman mong hindi lahat ay kailangang makita.
Hindi mo ba nadadalumat sa tapik ng aking palad
Na mas mahiwaga sa pagtingin ang paghawak?
Tahan na, meme na
Supling na sinisikmura.
Alam kong gutom ang iyong diwa
Sa tulang hindi nauubusan ng talinghaga.
Ngunit wala pang ipin ang gilagid ng isip
Kailangang tunawin sa laway ang pagkainip.
Tahan na.
Meme na.
Nababasa ko ang bawat mong uha.
Hindi ka pa dumaraing, alam na ng iyong Ina.
Tahan na, bunso.
Itatago ko ang iyong puso
Sa magkapatong kong palad.
Meme na anak.
Iduduyan ko ang iyong pagtangis
Sa magkayakap kong mga bisig.
Tahan na.
Meme na.
Ihiga ang haraya sa aking kandungan
Dahil bukas paggising, sasanib ito sa kalawakan

SAIS coming this AUGUST
I finally finished working on the script of the 11th Kultura play called "SAIS." Rehearsals have started and I am so excited to work with the new talents of the University as well as the veterans. This play is actually more inspired than adapted from the Pirandello play "Six Characters in search of an Author."
This will probably be my last play for a long time as I take a sabattical from writing plays...unless of course something comes up that I will have to write to pay for my rent.
The play may be weird for some people as I will be tackling my own writing process and my beliefs about art and theater in this play. The story goes--five characters from my old plays arrive at rehearsals to stop my supposed "last play."
I haven't written the ending but it's all in my head already. The cast and crew are in the dark as well about how the play will end. This should be a very interesting experiment.
TWENTY QUESTIONS
I'm still working on leaving for London to take a Masters in Scriptwriting or Filmmaking. So before I leave, if Carlos is not staging this for Every Man Productions, I shall be staging it myself somewhere in ortigas. I just need to find the money to pay for the place...If I had a house here, I'd stage it in the bedroom. The staging of this play has long been overdue. If only I had a peso every time this play is forwarded in the internet, I would have the money to stage it.
Hint...hint. For those who enjoyed reading it...baka gusto ninyo akong pondohan. :)

return from hell
finally, i decided to resurrect this blog. if i am to find my muse, i must at least force myself to write.
SAIS
my last two plays were all bitter and heartless: May Day Eve and Clytemnestra. Another heartless and more intellectual masturbation play is coming this August courtesy of Kultura--SAIS. My adaptation of Luigi Piradello's Six Characters in search of an Author. Darn. Act one is due Monday and all I have written are three pages which I will probably throw out the window.
TWENTY QUESTIONS
To all the people who's been waiting to see the first official staging of this infamous play, let's hope the July staging pushes through. Carlos Cariño of every man directs it but he's having problems with casting and marketing it.
Twenty Questions is finally going to see light in print. Someone from the Cavite State University is publishing it as part of a text book. Damn. I'm now in a text book. Funny that the Filipino teacher who taught me poetry never approved of textbooks. I wonder what he's gonna say when he sees my name in print. Hell, I could use the money. And argue with me to death but I believe high school students should read it. IT'S STILL COOL TO BE A VIRGIN godamit!
MOVIES
Watch out for Kangkong Jam's upcoming flicks. Filming starts next month. For updates, visit our blog.
