dear diary,
ito ay kopya lang doon sa isang email ko noong araw na pinadala ko sa isang cousin ko dito... para hindi ko na isulat ulit yong kwento ko dito tungkol sa aking buhay... share ko lang sayo... siguro, more than five years ago na itong sulat kong ito o mahigit pa... anyway, ito yong nakasulat doon:
maraming salamat sa birthday greetings nyo sa akin... siguro, bumalik
itong email nyo dyan kaya ipinorward na lang ulit nyo dito... hindi ata
kami nakakabayad sa webtv kaya lahat ng email dito ay bumabalik...
kausap ko si honor kanina at tinanong kung natanggap ko yong sagot niya
sa email ko kahapon at sabi ko wala pa akong natatanggap... tapos,
kausap ko naman si marivic at sabi ko iporward niya yong email ni honor
dito... pero bumalik din daw... buti na lang at pumasok na itong email
nyo at yong birthday email ni net... kung may kopya kayo noong email ni
honor paki subok ngang iporward nyo dito...
well, medyo hindi masyadong maganda yong pakiramdam ko ngayon kasi
siguro dahil sa ginaw dito... at saka pagod din ako sa kakaaral nga ng
espanol... bumali nga ako ng libro ng spanish sa walmart noong lunes at
sinimulan ko na nga itong pag-aralan kaya puyat din ako lunes ng gabi at
kagabi... tapos, pinilit ko pang itranslate yong kantang "historia de un
amor" para mas madali kong makanta ng mas maigi... tapos, nagdatingan
naman yong mga text nila butch at bing galing sa pilipinas at pati text
ni net dahil birthday ko nga ngayon... tapos, sinagot ko pa ng isa isa..
kaya hayon, hanggang umaga halos akong gising... tapos, pagkagising,
balik naman sa webtv para tingnan yong mga salitang espanol doon sa
kanta... may translator naman akong nakita sa webtv tungkol sa spanish
sentences kaya hindi na ulit ako nakatulog...
tapos, yong ngang tawag nila honor at marivic.... halos tig-iisang oras
yong dalawa kaya nagsawa sila sa kakasalita ko... kaya sayang nga at
maganda ang sikat ng araw ngayon dito... mukhang hindi kaya ng katawan
kong maglaro ng golf... pero kahapon, pinilit kong mag 18 holes... na
parang 36 holes na rin kasi dalawang bola ang pinapalo ko kada hole...
hindi naman ako nahirapan kasi naka golf cart ako...
siguro, hihiga muna ako sandali at pagkatapos ay babalikan ko naman yong
spanish lessons ko... pambihira talaga ito kasi 24 units ang tinapos ko
sa spanish sa college... pero hindi ako nag-aral ng ganito kahirap...
pero nakakatuwa din ko iisipin ang mga bagay na pinag-aralan ko tapos ng
college... nong siguro 45 yrs old ako, nag-aral ako ng sing-along sa
minus one... mga 1985-7 ito... nagbasa ako ng mga music books tungkol sa
mga 4/4 at 3/4 beats... nag-aral akong kumpas sabay ng tugtug... para
masanay akong kumanta ng sabay sa beat... buti naman at may tumutulong
sa akin na kaibigan na tumutugtug ng clarinete... noong medyo
nakakakanta na ako ng nasa tiempo, nag-aral naman kami nitong kaibigan
ko na gumawa ng kanta... siguro mga 1988-90 na ito... ang titulo nong
kanta naming nagawa ay " Stay with me, oh my love..." naging favorite
song ito noong isa kong kaibigan na fiscal naman at palagi niya itong
kinakanta sa missis niya... sabi nga noong missis niya sa akin na
gustong-gusto daw noong mister niya yong kantang iyon... yong unang
parte ay ganito kasi... "I will love you so much, you're my joy, you're
my life, I'll be there when you're sad, care for you oh my love... love
me too with all of your heart, care for me when I am sad, laugh with me
when I am glad, stay, stay with me oh my love...."
noong isang araw nga, sabi noong kaibigan ko ditong batang americano, i
need a girlfriend... sabi ko naman, i wrote a song for someone who needs
a girlfriend... kaya kinanta ko sa kanya yong unang parte noong
kanta..." I need someone who could love me, I want to know just how it
feels, I need someone who could love me, Show her to me, show her to
me..."
tapos noong marami rami na ako nagawang kanta ay nagsimula naman akong
mag-aral tumugtug ng gitara... pati yong kaibigan kong isang abogado na
60 + na ay nagkasugat-sugat yong mga daliri kaaaral ng gitara... pati
yong tumutugtug ng clarinete ay gumaya din sa akin... kaya hanggang
ngayon, pag nasa mood ako ay nagigitara ako dito sa kwarto... pagdating
kasi namin dito ay bumili kaagad si allan ng gitara para sa akin... at
meron din akong nagawang kanta dito na gustong gusto ring kinakanta...
ganito yon, " All alone for so long, I must cling to you now, if you
leave me my darling, I'll be lonesome all my life... There were times
when i thought, You would never come back, But the love I've been
hiding, Kept me hoping deep inside... Alone in the night i cried,
Because you were going away, The tears that I shed are dry, This time I
hope you would stay... Oh my love, won't you stay. oh so close to me
now, Let love you so dearly, Let me know that you are mine..."
tapos, mula siguro nong 1999 hanggang ngayon ay napunta naman ako sa
pag-aaral ng golf... marami-rami na ding sugat ng daliri ang inaabot ko
kaaaral nitong larong ito... at sakit ng bewang at mga braso at likod...
at sakit at paltos ng mga paa kalalakad sa golf course... pero okay
naman kasi enjoy sa laro....
ngayon, spanish lessons naman!!!
kaya itong birthday kong ito ay special kasi naibigay sa akin noong
kapatid ni tess kahapon yong mga letra ng kantang "historia de una
amor..." hindi ko kasi makanta ito noong araw na sikat ito sa
pilipinas...
ang alam ko kayang kaya ni uncle doring kantahin ito noon... ingit na
ingit nga ako sa kanya... at saka bilib na bilib ako sa kanya pag
kinakanta niya yong mga tony bennett na mga kantang sikat noong tulad ng
king of "broken hearts", "boulevard of broken dreams," "strangers in
paradise." "from the candystore to the chapel on the hill..." nasamahan
ko pa nga siya noong magaudition siya sa student canteen...
kaya kahapon palang sa golf course, panay na ang memorize ko ng
"historia de un amor..." yan ang theme song ng birthday ko ngayong taong
ito...
thank you ulit at baka mabura pa ito...

ito pa rin yong manga na tinanim ko more than 10yrs ago...

DEAR DIARY (something about Tia Juana) DEC 14, 1998- 1st note in FB. See also 6-14-12 post here.
diary
dear diary,
uncle jun has requested me to write something about lola juana in my
diary and to post it in my facebook. actually, i have already written
something about this subject in an email dated way back dec. 14, 1998
and i am sending you herewith copy of my said email.

dearest josie,
thanks for the pictures of maceo, tallulah, and mom.... by the time i
saw them, winnie chan was already here from dallas... jun chan came in
at twelve midnight and saw the pictures yesterday noon... they both had
a nice time viewing the pictures of your two apos and your daughter
in-law... and the pictures were much easier to access than the ones we
sent you...
actually, winnie came to visit us as he had promised to us in manila...
after attending an arthur andersen conference in dallas... representing
the accounting firm of sgv... wherein he is a partner... jun came to
fetch and bring him to deatsville, alabama.... i think winnie came just
in time for the formal opening of jun's clinic there this week... allan
was not able to show winnie around atlanta because he was and is still
down with the flu he caught since thursday...
we were up till past three in the morning... just indulging in
conversation about so many things, including the traffic situation in
the manila... which is why our two visitors just spent the whole morning
yesterday sleeping... but they were able to go shopping at a tangier's
outlet store in macon yesterday afternoon before driving to alabama
before seven in the evening...
i indeed hope we'll really have a happy christmas reunion at jun's place
in deatsville... in fact, we are hoping other clan members can join us
there... jun has said everyone is welcome to do just that...
by the way, baby and i, netnet and her hushand, benjie, were able to
visit ninang juana and netty in munoz dec first... it was heartening for
us to see ninang juana looking fine and in the best of health... at a
time she was eagerly anticipating a belated birthday celebration she was
planning to hold a day or so after our visit...
she even gave us two autographed copies of her book plus a copy of her
picture with former president ramos as a remembrance of our visit... one
for baby and me.... and one for netnet and benjie... complete with her
affectionate dedication... she and netty showed us around the house,
especially the air-conditioned balik-bayan room upstairs... then she
asked netty to show us the j & p and the flaviano a pelmoka
buildings.... netty said we had better luck than george who was not
able to go inside or up the latter building....
netty and joe were not able to join our family reunion in fairview but
were able to attend netnet's and benjie's wedding and reception.... we
all missed ninang juana at both gatherings though...
netty was also able to join us in morning breeze during the mini reunion
we held there after the wedding reception of kuyang salvador's first
apo, the daughter of atty francisco salvador b. acejas III... netty came
in the evening, although by the time she arrived, kuyang salvador and
ate zeny had already left... but she was able to see and talk to linda
acejas... who came in about the same time as netty... this wedding was
held about almost one week ahead of netnet's wedding....
once again, thanks for the pictures... and it's certainly nice to hear
that george is out of retirement and back to work....
best regards,

" DON'T BE AFRAID," JAN. 10,2011
"Don't be afraid", jan 10,2011, lyrics/melody by lolo bomboy
I
don't be afraid when things go wrong,
just pray to God and move along,
He will always guide you,
show you where to go,
II
don't feel so sad when things go bad,
God will be there with all His love,
He will always lead you,
show you what to do,
chorus:
everytime you feel you need Him,
just call out His name,
He'll be there each time you call Him,
oh yes, He will be there with you,
III
Don't ever doubt
the love of God,
He'll send His love
from up above
He will always love you,
so just trust Him so,
chorus:
everytime you feel you need Him,
just call out His name,
He'll be there each time you call Him,
oh yes, He will be there with you,
IV
Don't ever doubt
the word of God,
He keeps His word
He'll make you glad
He will never leave you,
yes He cares for you,
and He loves you so,
dear diary,
medyo down lang ako last night dahil siguro sa snow dito... kaya sabi ko sa sarili ko, ano kaya ang
puede kong kantahin para gumanda naman ang feeling ko....mas tumatanda ata ako mas marami akong di alam na dapat kong malaman sa buhay na ito...kaya sinulat ko ang kantang ito... paalala sa sarili ko na laging tumawag sa Panginoon para sa landas na dapat kong tahakin sa paglalakbay ko sa mundong ito...
salamat naman kung inyong magugustohan itong kanta kong ito...
regards,
lolo bomboy

50th wedding anniversary Gus/Myrna Lim, june 20, 2010
happy 50th wedding anniversary to atty augusto and mrs myrna lim
.by Lolo Bomboy on Sunday, June 20, 2010 at 1:57am
my friendship with your mom and dad started when i joined the lim duran and associates law office maybe sometime in 1983... and i was with the law office until my wife and i came here to the USA in august of 1997... but our friendship of course did not end then and there as it still continues up to the present... when they lived in florida with mitchie, they never failed to send us christmas cards here in georgia... and they even visited us here when i just had my quadruple heart by-pass surgery...the whole family from florida in fact was with your mom and dad... it was very thoughtful of them to have made that visit...throughout the years, i was impressed by the way they raised such a closely knit family as yours, and by the love and care they gave each and everyone of you... and particularly, how they inculcated in you a deep sense of spirituality and dedication to your Church...they showed me what a happy marriage is and also how to have a happy family... the story how your dad and i bought our respective lots in pasig is in a sense one of the highlights of my association with your mom and dad, for that paved the way for our being neighbors there...at least, whenever, my wife and i go home for a visit there... and your mom and dad come for a visit from marinduque... my wife and i and my entire family join all of you in celebrating the golden wedding anniversary of augusto and myrna on july 24, 2010... and we are all very happy for them and for all their children and grandchildren...
i wanted to buy a card to express my greetings to your mom and dad on their golden wedding anniversary but i recalled that i have a song that i wrote sometime back which might well be a better way of expressing my happiness for both them and for all of you on that day....it is i think a song that your mom and dad could sing or recite to each other on that day... i revised it so it would be applicable to your mom and dad after 50 happy years of marriage... i hope this song is able to do justice to the relationship they have had the last 50 years.. and the one they will have the next 50 years...
title - i promised you
written - december 1997
melody/lyrics - silvestre j. acejas
group - no demo/melody i can still remember
song # 17
from dad to mom, and vice versa:
i love you dear
with all my heart
i guess you knew
right from the start
you are my happiness
there could be no one else
you've made my dreams come true
as only you could do
i promised you
i'll never change
my love for you
will never end
and you have seen
as time went by
this heart of mine
did never lie
i cared for you
with all my heart
i did my best
to make you glad
i stuck it out with you
no matter what we went through
i spent a whole life through
each day just loving you
once more
i promise you
i'll never change
my love for you
will never end
again you'll see
as time goes by
this heart of mine
will never lie
i'll care for you
with all my heart
i'll do my best
to make you glad
i'll stick it out with you
no matter what we do
i'll spend my whole life through
each day still loving you
i love you dear
with all my heart
i guess you knew
right from the start
you are my happiness
there could be no one else
i'll make your dreams come true
because i love you so
sana magustohan nila gus at myrna itong munti kung alaala sa kanilang 50th wedding anniversary... we wish them many more anniversaries to come...

Si Juan at ang kanyang Amo, May 27, 2012
"si juan at ang kanyang amo," may 27, 2012
by Dina Matoto on Sunday, May 27, 2012 at 1:58pm ·."Juan, bago kita tanggapin bilang katiwala ko, kailangan bigyan mo ako ng listahan ng lahat ng ari-arian mo...at taon-taon ay bibigyan mo AKO ng bagong listahan ng mga ari-arian mo"
"Opo, boss!"
nilista ni Juan lahat nga ari-arian niya ayon sa bilin ng kanyang magiging amo...
"Ito na po boss ang listahan ng mga ari-arian ko..."
natanggap si Juan bilang katiwala at taon taon ay nagbibigay sya ng listahan ng mga ari-arian niya sa kanyang amo...hanggang isang araw:
"Juan, ano ba itong nababalitaan ko na mali daw itong listahan ng iyong mga ari-arian na binibigay mo sa akin taon taon.."
"hindi po,Boss...tama po ang mga iyan..."
"eh bakit lulumabas na kunti lang ang pera mo sa bangko na nakalista dito at may mga lupa kang hindi nakasama dito..."
"Boss, hindi akin yang mga iyan, at saka hindi 45 na mga lupa yan...5 lang po...at hindi ko po sinali sa listahan ko kasi hindi po akin ang mga iyan...sa mga anak ko yan..."
"eh bakit nasa pangalan mo ang mga iyan?"
"pero hindi po talaga sa akin yan... sa mga anak ko po..."
"tapos, Juan, P2,000.00 ang nilista mong pera mo sa bangko, pero may balita ako higit sa P50,000.00 ang pera mo sa bangko at may dollar ka pang di mo sinama sa listahan mo...$50,000.00 ata yon..."
"hindi po P50,000.00 yon kundi P25,000.00 at hindi din po yan sa akin...pinaghalo halo pong pera yan ng aking asawa at mga mana po niya iyan...at saka po di naman $50,000.00 ang dollar ko....$25,000.00 lang po at yan po ay noong araw ko pa po naiipon pati interes na di namin inaalis kasi matipid po kaming mag-asawa..."
"eh bakit di mo nga ito sinama sa listahan ng mga ari-arian mo..."
"kasi nga po, di ko po pera yong nasa piso...yon naman pong dollar ay bawal ho kasi sa batas na ibunyag ko yan...kasi sabi daw sa batas, sekreto daw po iyan..."
"ano Juan, eh di hindi mo sinunod yong bilin ko na bibigyan mo ako ng tamang listahan ng mga ari-ari-an mo taon taon..." "marami palang mga ari-ari-an na nasa pangalan mo ang titulo na hindi mo nilista dyan...pati na yong peso at dollar account mo di mo nilista...ano ang dapat kong gawin sa iyo...?"
END....
malapit na nating malaman ang kapalaran ni Juan... tatanggaling kaya sya ng boss niya o hindi?

Ang tulang IF ni Rudyard Kipling, May 25, 2012
"Ang tulang IF ni Rudyard Kipling sa pagkaintindi ni lolo
bomboy sa tagalog", May 25,2012
kung buo ang ka-isipan mo, habang ang iba
sa paligid mo ay nawawalan nito't sinisisi ka na,
kung sa sarili'y may tiwala, kahit lahat ay duda sa iyo,
at binibigyan mo ng puwang ang pagdududa nilang ito;
kung makapaghihintay ka ng walang pagkainip,
o mapagsinungalingan, magsinungaling ay di mo maisip,
kahit kamunghian ka, di ka mamumunghi sa kahit sino,
at di ka rin magyayabang na ika'y magaling o matalino;
kung mangarap ka, pangarap ay di mo gagawing amo,
kung mag-isip ka, pagiisip ay di mo ituturing na pakay mo.
kung kaya mong harapin ang tagumpay o pagkatalo,
at tingnan ang mga ito na para lang silang magkapareho;
kung matitiis mo na ang sinabi mong mga katotohanan,
ay gamitin ng mga tuso laban sa mga walang muwang,
o makitang buwagin ang lahat ng ginawa mo sa buhay,
at isa-ayos ito sa lumang gamit na nasa iyong mga kamay;
kung maiipon mo sa isang tumpok ang mga napanalunan,
at isugal mo lahat ito sa cara'ycruz ng isang iglap lamang,
at saka kung matalo'y magsimula doon sa pinanggalingan,
nang di ka man nanghinayang sa iyong naging kawalan;
kung kaya mong pilitin ang puso, ugat at lakas,
na pagsilbihan ka kahit wala na ito sa tamang oras,
at magpatuloy ka kahit wala ka nang na-a-a-sahan,
kundi ang tinig na nagsasabing "ituloy mo ang laban!"
kung kaya mong makisama sa dukha ng buong dangal,
o kaya'y sa mayayaman at dukha'y iyo pa ring mahal,
kung kahit kaibigan o kaaway ay di ka kayang saktan,
kung ang lahat ay umaasa sa'yo, ng di naman sukdulan;
kung mapupuno mo ang walang patawad na sandali,
ng katumbas ng animnapo'ng segundong pagtakbo,
ang buong Mundo, at lahat ng nakapaloob dito,
ay mapapasa iyo, anak ko, at higit sa lahat,
at magiging tunay at ganap ang iyong PAGKA TAO!

bomboy sa tagalog", May 25,2012
kung buo ang ka-isipan mo, habang ang iba
sa paligid mo ay nawawalan nito't sinisisi ka na,
kung sa sarili'y may tiwala, kahit lahat ay duda sa iyo,
at binibigyan mo ng puwang ang pagdududa nilang ito;
kung makapaghihintay ka ng walang pagkainip,
o mapagsinungalingan, magsinungaling ay di mo maisip,
kahit kamunghian ka, di ka mamumunghi sa kahit sino,
at di ka rin magyayabang na ika'y magaling o matalino;
kung mangarap ka, pangarap ay di mo gagawing amo,
kung mag-isip ka, pagiisip ay di mo ituturing na pakay mo.
kung kaya mong harapin ang tagumpay o pagkatalo,
at tingnan ang mga ito na para lang silang magkapareho;
kung matitiis mo na ang sinabi mong mga katotohanan,
ay gamitin ng mga tuso laban sa mga walang muwang,
o makitang buwagin ang lahat ng ginawa mo sa buhay,
at isa-ayos ito sa lumang gamit na nasa iyong mga kamay;
kung maiipon mo sa isang tumpok ang mga napanalunan,
at isugal mo lahat ito sa cara'ycruz ng isang iglap lamang,
at saka kung matalo'y magsimula doon sa pinanggalingan,
nang di ka man nanghinayang sa iyong naging kawalan;
kung kaya mong pilitin ang puso, ugat at lakas,
na pagsilbihan ka kahit wala na ito sa tamang oras,
at magpatuloy ka kahit wala ka nang na-a-a-sahan,
kundi ang tinig na nagsasabing "ituloy mo ang laban!"
kung kaya mong makisama sa dukha ng buong dangal,
o kaya'y sa mayayaman at dukha'y iyo pa ring mahal,
kung kahit kaibigan o kaaway ay di ka kayang saktan,
kung ang lahat ay umaasa sa'yo, ng di naman sukdulan;
kung mapupuno mo ang walang patawad na sandali,
ng katumbas ng animnapo'ng segundong pagtakbo,
ang buong Mundo, at lahat ng nakapaloob dito,
ay mapapasa iyo, anak ko, at higit sa lahat,
at magiging tunay at ganap ang iyong PAGKA TAO!

kung kaya mong magpakatatag sa paninindigan,
habang lahat ay nalilito, at, sisi'y sa'yo binibintang
kung kaya mong magtiwala sa yong sarili
samantalang lahat sa'yo'y nag-a-alinlangan,
bagkos sila'y iyo paring naiintindihan,
kung kaya mong maghintay nang di na-i-inip
ni bahagya man,
o kung ikaw man ay mabitikma ng kasinungalingan,
di ka magsisinungaling kahit minsan,
o ikaw ay makamunghi-an, di mo magagawang
mamunghi sa sino man,
o magmalaki sa kilos o sa ano pa mang mga paraan,
kung kaya mong mangarap nang di ka
nagpapa-alipin sa iyong mga pangarap,
0 mag-isip nang di mo hinahayaang
maging puno't dulo ito ng hinaharap,
o harapin ano mang tagumpay o kabigu-an
at tanggapin silang magkasingtulad lamang,
kung kaya mong marinig mga pananalitang
nabitiwan,
pagbali-baliktarin at gawin bitag para sa mga
taong walang muwang,
o kaya'y masdang malansag ang mga bagay na
buong buhay mong pinaghirapan,
at isa-ayos muli ito sa gamit na matagal mo nang
pinaglumaan...
kung kaya mong ipunin sa isang kumpol lahat ng
iyong napanalunan,
at ipusta ang lahat sa isang sugal ng cara'y cruz
lamang,
at pagkaraang matalo'y magsimula muli sa iyong
pinanggalingan,
nang di ka man lang napabuntong hininga sa
laki ng iyong naging kawalan...
kung kaya mong pilitin ang puso, ugat at ang iyong
buong kata-ohan,
na ika'y pagsilbihan matapos na ang lakas ng mga ito'y
nawala na ng tuluyan,
maituloy mo lang ang lahat kahit wala ka nang
iba pang ina-a-sahan,
kundi ang tinig na nagsasabing "ituloy mo ang laban"...
kung kaya mong maki-isa sa mga dukha nang di ka
nakakaramdam ng kahihiyan,
o maki-da-op palad ka sa mga nakaka-angat nang
di nakakalimot sa abang pinagmulan,
kung maging ka-away o kaibigan ma'y di ka kayang
saktan,
kung ang karamihan ay uma-asa sa iyo nang ni isa'y di
uma-abot sa sukdulan,
kung magagawa mo sa di mapagpatawad na sandali,
ang katumbas ng animn'apu't segundong pagtakbo,
ang buong Mundo at lahat ng nakaploob dito ay
magiging iyo, at higit sa lahat, aking anak, magiging
isa kang ganap na TA-O
