Ang Ulan Ang Pag-ibig Mo


Basta na lang itong dumating.
Hindi ko man lang napansin;
Hindi kasi ako nakatingin.

Nalaman ko na lang
Dahil sa lakas nito
Kumakatok sa bintanang mahigpit na nakapinid
Ang malalaking mga patak ng tubig.

Inisip kong buksan ang bintana
Upang maramdaman ang halik ng ulan
Ngunit nag-atubili ako dahil hindi ko alam
kung makabubuti ba sa aking balat ang tubig na yan.

Nagtanong ako sa iba,
Pero sabi nila:
Hindi ko rin alam,
Buksan mo ang bintana kung gusto mong subukan.

Kaya't nag-isip ako sa isang tabi,
Nag-isip nang nag-isip hanggang makapili
- Bubuksan ba ang bintana o hindi?

At sa wakas, ako'y nakapagpasya:
Bubuksan ko ang bintana.

Kaso
Sa malas,
Nang mabuksan ko ang bintana
Tumila na
Ang ulan

At kung babalik ma'y
hindi ko alam kung kailan.

When Money called PacMan a Coward, Trouble Ensues

 

Mayweather called Pacquiao a coward and I struggle to find intelligent words as retort but all I can muster is:
"You f*cking @sswipe.."

Manny, Manny... Manny says he's not making excuses but he definitely seems to be blaming his injury for the loss. Others are blaming him and his team.

Meanwhile, I don't know who to blame. I'm disappointed about the loss, but I wasn't disappointed with Manny until the talk about the shoulder injury. Their camp chose to push through with the fight amidst the injury -putting himself and the win at risk.

Seems to be such a waste that, with all the anticipation and the hype, he was not at his best on fight night. He should've been prepared for the fight, shot or no shot. Besides, painkillers won't protect him much. What if Floyd was actually a boxer? What will happen to him?

Of course, a lot of rules and considerations will apply and I might get lost with all the jargon.

Nonetheless, injury or no injury, Manny was clearly the aggressor in that fight - you don't need to be a boxing analyst to figure that out.

And Floyd calls a coward the aggressor with the shoulder injury as Floyd ducks the rematch.

Oh, come on. Putangina, Floyd.

Anyhow, I'm sure a lot of people won't really want to see what we may predict to be a boring  rematch between an aggressor and a runner.

I won't either, save for the chance to see a TKO win as vengeance against a trash-talking, money-worshipping, wife-beating sorry excuse for a boxer.
