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...

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,
bomboy

" 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
