Forda free trial ang mga ferson

At ito na nga, nabalitaan ko maraming Perpetualites ang nasubok ang pasensya sa pagpila sa mga booths ah? Grabe mga bhie, ang titibay niyo maghintay ah parang sanay na sanay kayo! Sabi nga nila, patience is a virtue and crushie is forda future~ char! Sa mga ferson ginanon ganon lang nung mga crushies niyo, huwag kayo mag-alala kasi nga may bukas pa. Malay niyo after ma-expire ‘yung free trial nila, kayo naman. It’s your time to shine na mga beshies! Pero ito lang mga ka-camp sawi, kapag binalikan kayo ng ka-late night talks niyo, try niyo muna magpa-hard to get. ‘Wag niyo naman ipahalata na game na game kayo maging free trial, konting pakipot here and there para get get aw! Chaaar

One-sided booth

Ako lang ba? Syempre kayo rin di baaaa?! Aminin niyo, umasa rin kayo na magkakaro’n ng marriage booth nung balentayms? Naku-nako talaga! Umasa na naman tayo sa wala pero what’s new ‘di ba?

Sanay na sanay naman tayo sa ganyan, to the point na medyo immune na nga tayo. Aanhin natin ang mga booth kung may kasama na siyang iba?

Pero bago kayo umiyak, tandaan ninyo na walang poreber at baka malay n’yo kayo naman ang magka-date next U-week tapos syempre maghihiwalay din kayo kasi nga… walang poreber! Hehe. Oh ayan, pwede ka na ulit umiyak. Charotism lang bhie at baka maging si Dong-eun ka sa The Glory at balikan mo pa ‘ko, fleece ‘wag naman sana.

Shining, shimmering, screaming

Lahat ba kinilig nung Mr. and Ms. University? Siyempre yes na yes yarn! G! Grabe ang mga tilian sa loob ng auditorium, muntik na nga mabingi si Lala. Hindi ko naman kayo masisisi kasi naman ‘di ba? Ang huhusay, ang gagwapo’t at ang gaganda nilang lahat ‘di ba? Nako, kung pwede lang sumali si Lala sa Mr. and Ms. U eh kaso wala naman partner si Lala, sino ba naman ako? Char! Kidding aside, iba ang Mr. and Ms University 2023, pansin niyo ba? Pang malakasan ang decorations, hindi tinipid mga bhie! Aakalain mo talagang nasa cinema ka at syempre ‘yung mga representatives from different departments eh pang malakasan din. Mapapa-“wow” ka nalang talaga kahit sa mga costumes nila.

Sign mo na ‘to Bhie, next U-week baka time mo na rumampa at magpaka amakabogera sa auditorium, ako na bahala sa sisigaw, madali naman kausap ang mga taga Aviation.. Chareeng!

Dugong mapanakit

Usapang valentines naman tayo mga Bhie! Nakapag-sanaol ba kayong lahat? Sa mga may ka-date nung February 14, isang malaking sanaol sa inyo. Sa mga nakiki-sanaol naman na katulad ni Lala, huwag kayo mag-alala baka next U-week hindi na sama ng loob matanggap ninyo, baka siya na matanggap niyo. Ang status natin next year ay… malay ko, malay mo, malay nating lahat, and I, thank you! Pero ito ha, hindi ninyo kailangan ng jowa o ng kung sino pa man para mag-enjoy sa next balentayms. Ang kailangan niyo lang ay ang sarili ninyo at pera, syempre. Pumunta ka ba sa blood typing booth para malaman mo if type ka ba ng type mo? Oh anong napala mo? Sinampal ka na naman ng katotohanan na hindi ka type ng crushie mo! Tara, shot puno! Hehe. Bad pala ‘yun. Anyway, huwag ka mag-alala hindi lang ikaw ang pumunta dyan kasi pumunta rin si Lala pero ang nalaman ko lang eh hindi pala unique ang dugo ko! Sanaol sa mga AB ang blood type d’yan at higit sa lahat, sanaol sa mga type ng type nila! Hindi lang tao ang mapanakit ngayon, pati dugo natin nananakit na.

Grabe ang mga energy niyo nung music fest lalo na nung Join the Club na ang tumugtog, hindi niyo kinaya! Pang malakasan talaga ang Perpetualites. Grabe rin ‘yung mga nag-suggest ng Jopay, talagang damang dama nila yung kanta nung nag-play na. Happy ako na nag-enjoy kayo since dasuuuurvvv niyo yan, deserve natin na maging masaya! Pero hindi natin dasurv na makatikim nung bubbles. Sa mga nagbenta nga pala ng ticket diyan nako, kilala ko kayong lahat, mala-scalper ang galawan, mindset ba mindset. Char baka bumulagta nalang ako kinabukasan. Pero ‘yun nga, grabe na talaga kayo mga Bhie, magbebenta lang ng ticket kailangan nursing student pa ang bibili? wow namern unfair para kay Lala. Oh, andami ng nalalaman ni Lala baka abangan niyo ko ha, friends friends lang tayo, kayo naman oh, joke only! Lalalabs you mga Bhie pero as a friend lang!

Since tapos na ang U-week, wag ninyong kakalimutan na magpahinga, huminga, at ngumiti kahit na nahihirapan, kahit pa sina… CHAR! Pero ayun nga, goodbye U-week at hello second sem na tayong lahat. Lagi ninyong tandaan na kapag napagod kayo eh pwedeng pwede kayong magpahinga saglit pero wag ‘yung pahinga na pang-habang buhay na ah? Pahinga saglit tapos laban ulit. Yakang yaka niyo yan, Perpetualites.

“Dearest Trinity”

by Juliana Agbulos

It was a sunlit morning, But her eyes were already on eventide.

Celebes was a beauty to behold,

Yet she still seemed to be engrossed in the cold breeze that rippled the sea.

As she entered the house, A broken glass chime welcomed her.

It was broken down into a million pieces, Which made it hard for her to put everything back together.

Suddenly, the deafening silence trembled her.

Little did she know that a globus started to form in her throat—

That made her feel trapped underwater.

She suddenly witnessed the eerie dark path, And she wanted to find a way out.

But she felt the water utterly pull her down.

In a quest of air, She saw Aurora with a faint gleam. “Was that apricity?

I guess the rainbow after the rain.

Well, the ethers under the blanket were always there!

And I would not miss it for the world.”

“Sprout of Hope”

by Nica Lauren Pancho

A torrential storm had hit a farm

Placing all plants and vegetables in harm

The farmer could not do a nything more but to look

As the rain poured whilst his plants violently shook

After hours upon hours of hiding quietly inside

The perilous storm finally subsided and died

He took this golden opportunity to check on his field

Only to witness that majority of his plants were killed

He threw away the plants that were beyond salvation

Whilst searching for the plants with the chance of restoration

Yet he had found nothing, or so he thought A sprout in the verge of death is what his eyes caught

Thus, he took care of the sprout that stayed alive Ensuring that it will grow, develop and thrive

In spite of a stormy onslaught that it encountered It still bloomed anew and graciously recovered

“

by Ellah Escasa

Aimlessly they cast me scattered around the oblivion stomping till buried crashing my dreams to faded Irrelevant to the naked eye unworthy to the masses forgotten that’s will I be all the lies they told me I crumble, unable to move fetter by their words vicious and corrupted failed to notice the beauty embedded

Then, a bud sprouted flagrant and ethereal they marvel at the scene clueless of the unseen Frail at first glance, radiant in time they thought I would sink; I’m destined to rise in the ground, they buried, unknowingly a seed that will flourish and will bloom beautifully

Estrada

Kalmado ang karagatan, Walang pwersang kailangan upang makabingwit, Hindi masyadong maalog ang bangka, Parang nilamon ang alon ng katahimikan.

Nasanay ako sa hampas ng mga galit na alon, Sa kaunting huli, sa sama ng panahon, Nakilala ko ang dagat bilang madamot, Walang pakialam sa pahinga o sa gutom.

Ngunit bakit ngayo’y tila mas madali?

Bakit parang hindi ako kinakabahan?

Sadya bang kalmado ang dagat, O nasanay na lang ako sa sungit nito?

Gayunpaman, tagumpay na rin ito.

Payapa rin ang isip ko, kalmado ang dibdib, Kakailanganin ko ito sa pagbabalik sa pampang, Sa tunay na kapayapaan.

If you look to your right, you will see a fight. If you look to your left, you will see a theft. They said that the earth is round and the problems are around.

We are all seeds, waiting for our turn to sprout. Waiting for our time to grow in a desert land. We have no scent, no brightness, and no color. The only thing we have is dirt.

As seeds, we spend our lives buried in our comfort zone. Having the resilience skills to overcome storms that were trying to drown us to convince us that there will be no sunshine for us to witness.

Earthquakes will also come to move us from where we stand. Don’t let that shake deceive us. Stand where you are. Dilemmas will damage us from the inside and out, But we will still grow, like flowers with scent or even cacti with thorns.

Isang Paglalakbay”

by Carl Christian Ramos

It is said that when birds migrate

Only half of them return for spring.

Some will drown whilst they glide over the water, Others will perish over the long distances travelled.

A few may even crash into windows

Before they reach their destination.

Very few survive migration over water;

Still, the songbirds fly; They fly knowing they might never see the oceans

That stand between autumn leaves

And beaming daffodils. They might never see the fruits

Of each flap of their wings, Each fight against winds, Or each shiver from late snowfall.

Still, they fly.

They fly to let the eggs hatch.

They fly to raise the nestlings, The survivors.

They fly until they know, Sure as bone,

True as Mother Nature,

That a new pair of eyes shall see the same oceans

And fly for the same reasons.

Hindi pa nakaukit ang bukas, Mundo’y iikot pa para sa lahat, Liwanag ay sisilay sa pinakamaliit na siwang, Lahat ng tao’y muling aawit, magsasaya, magsasayaw –ipagpapasalamat ang buhay.

Haharapin mga pagsubok na magpapalalim ng pagkatao, Masasagupa iba’t ibang ideolohiya, teorya, pilosopiya, paniniwala, kultura, at konsepto.

Iba’t ibang mga taong makakasalumuha, magtuturo na kagiliwan ang buhay, Madadapa, babangon, muling madadapa at muling babangon, magpupursigi, at magpapatuloy.

Gawing makabuluhan ang bawat sandali, Ipaglaban ang tama, itatwa ang mali, Kasuklaman at tuligsain ang mga mapang-api, Pairalin ang kababaang loob, determinasyon at aksyon hanggang magwagi.

Buhay ay isang paglalakbay ng pagkatuto, paghahanap, pangangarap Paghahangad, pagpapasya, pakikibaka, tungo sa pagiging isang mabuting tao.
