Tulala

Ikaa-apat na parte ng di-ko-matukoy-kung-hanggang-ilang-parte-ito-pero-sige-nalang-at-ating-aalamin-sa-susunod -na-mga-kabanata ng seryeng "Limang Minuto". 

Unang tanong sa akin ay 'Bakit Tagalog at hindi Englis o Taususg ang ginagamit ko dito?'.. hmm... nahirapan ako dun ah... sinabi ko kasi dati na kung maari lamang ay ayokong gamitin ang wikang Tagalog. Kung bakit? akin-akin na lang yun. balik tayo sa unang tanong. Eto po ang aking simpleng kasagutan... Ehem ehem: Nahirapan po ako naghanap ng titulo na aayun dito. Kung Englis ay "Five Minutes" (napakasosyal naman, ayoko nang ganun. Kung Tausug naman eh "Lima Minit", at ang salitang "minit" ay hindi Tausug, thus defeating the purpose of the title to be purely Tausug. (Ayan, napa-englis ako bigla.)

Simulan na po natin ang kahibangang ito.

Limang minuto ay magsisimuala na in 3...2..1... Sulat!
======

Tulala ang titulo na naisip ko sa kwan na to (post ba ang tawag? ewan).
Ewan ko rin, basta kapag atat na atat na akong sumulat, at kung gulong gulo na ang aking mga isipan (ah oo, isa lang pala ang isipan ko) para bagang ang pagsusulat na lang nagiging paraan ko upang ma-relieve ang stress at tuluyan nang mapakawalan ang mga imahinasyon at idea na nasa kokote ko. Para silang mga hayop na nakakulung sa isang (cage) na gustong gustong lumayas na.

Eto ako. Tulala minsan. Tulala palage. Di na alam ano ang gagawin. tuwing nasa opisina ako, alam ko marami akong dapat gawing mga trabaho, sisimulan ko ang isa... hindi ko pa natapos, ayun, andun na naman ako sa isa, Hanggang sa paglubog ng araw, hindi ko sila matatapos lahat. Ito ang isa sa mga pinaka-kahinaan ko. Oo. Hindi ko pa rin magawang talunin ng puwersahan ang (Bad habit) na ito. Procrastination. Kakaibang procrastination kung saan, imbes na hindi gagawa nang anumang bagay, ay gagawa at magtatrabaho ako ng higit pa sa dapat kong gawin. Mismo ang pagsusulat sa mga papel nang kung anuman ang papasok sa isipan ko, (at yung papel na yun ay dapat sana para sa monthly report ko) ay isang bahagi ng pagigigng tamad ko. 

Di ko na matukoy kung saan ako patutungo.

Minsan sa isisp ko, eto ako, dito ako pupunta. Ang sarap ng pakiramdam nang may patutunguhan ang buhay mo, meron kang aasahan, meron kang 

=======prrrrrrrrrrrrt! Tapos na po ang Limang Minuto...==========
(Pwede mag-extend?)

Bitin noh?

Sige lang sa susunod na kabanata na lang tayo. Kailangan maging disiplinado tayo at sundin ang Batas ng Seryeng Limang Minuto. (Hindi ko na po inedit yan. Pesensya na kung minsan ay Ingles na mga salita na nag na-tatype ko. Ang hirap kasi magisip ng Tagalog kung nagmamadali ka. Paalala: Ang "cage" ay kulungan.


Salam Kasilasa!

Sulu Hidden History: the Spanish-built Walled City

Image
By Ahmad Musahari Free lance Writer anakiluhmd@gmail.com What is the use of knowing the history of other countries if you don't know your own country's? This is my sole impetus of studying little by little the almost-forgotten history of one of the magnificent Sultanate of all seas: the Sulu Sultanate, my homeland of course! But even though my few researches have only reached few results as well, I am still nevertheless excited to share what I have discovered; small pieces of puzzles are parts of a big picture. This blog is about one of my great adventures in finding the remaining historical landmarks in Sulu (even us Tausugs never knew it was there!) Join me, lets explore once more and find out where the smallest WALLED CITY is! (PS: as you can remember, I have blogged about the "Moro Consciousness week" wherein I promised to fill in the entry about the 'walled City' in Sulu. And here it is: a promise is still a promise ;-) link ==================...

The May 1 Tuli Mission

Image
Joining Muslim Doctors (MD) for a Tuli Mission Alhamdulillah, a few days ago, a good friend of mine told me that the young medical students from Ateneo de Zamboanga University School of Medicine (ADZU-SOM) were here in Manila for a surgical mission. Their group was known as the Muslim Doctors (or M.D.). I went to visit them that day and to my delight, they invited us to join their event last May 1, 2016 at Mahabba Islamic Center in San Andres Bukid, Malate, Manila. I immediately informed the members of UP-Association of Muslim Students (UP-AMS) and Alhamdulillah, 5 of them volunteered to join me. I learned later on that another friend and fellow medical student from another school will also join. First meeting with the MD team I was on ER Duty the night before, and honestly I did not get much sleep before the event. But Alhamdulillah, I was not feeling that sleepy maybe because of the excitement! I met with my members right after my duty and went to the venue where w...
