Ang Kahirapan sa Bansang Sinilangan

Labis na nagdadalamhati ang aking kaluluwa
Hirap sa Pagkain, gutom ang sikmura
Ang aking baga wala nang maihinga
Nasaan ang Bathala, makialam ba Siya?

Kung bakit hirap ang minsa’y bansang sagana
Madilim ang bawat sulok na nakikita
Mga islang sagana sa perlas, walang pruweba
Mga naniniraha’y nagtitiis sa dusa

Sa bawat bagyong bumabayo
Hinagpis ang dala ng bawat peligro
Ang tamis sa ngiti napilitang maglaho
Mga bangkay na tinangay unti-unting bumaho

Buto at balata ang siyang natira
Lantay na katawan kinain ng buwaya
Pinagpiyestahan, pinatay ng walang awa
Mga buwaya’t baboy di na nahiya

Labis niyang pagsisihan
Kung bakit Siya’y isinilang
Sa bansang alipin kanyang pinagmulan
Gusto niyang makawala sa bilangguan

Nilibing ka ng dayuhan
Sunud-sunuran sa kamadag ng cobrang makapangyarihan
Maging sarili mong anak ika’y tinalikuran
Para sa mas masarap na buhay sa ibang bayan

Sa Diyos nananalig, nawa ika’y kanyang tulungan
Hinagpis ng inang labis na nagdaramdam
Mga Pilipinong di nakikialam at walang pakialam

Patuloy na namamayagpag sandata ng kadiliman!

Living Life One Step at a Time

Image
Where there times when you feel like you're not accomplishing something important? As if all the things that you are doing doesn't worked out as plan. Sometimes you wish to become triplet so that you can hit three stones at the same time in different places. But you are also aware that it's just not possible and crazy as it may sound, you are secretly hoping that Science will find a way to triplicate ourselves. In a time when 24-hours is simply not enough, having a clear focus is important. Prioritizing the most significant and urgent things in life is a great skill that must be embedded in our self. Saying NO to the useless, time-consuming activities that are sometimes draining is good for yourself. When the pressure to achieve more to be the best in class, in work, in sports and in so many other areas is pressing, living one life at a time is truly a rewarding  choice. So how are we going to accomplish this. I am suggesting you to use the following strategies: 1. Pr...

Understanding Autonomic Pharmacology: A Short Essay (Part 1 of 2)

by: Archimedes O. Bayquen, RPh, MPH The autonomic nervous system (ANS) has been described many years ago as a division of the peripheral nervous system. It is subdivided into Parasympathetic (Rest and Digest, Conservative and Restorative function) and the Sympathetic (fight, flight, fright, stress response). The Enteric Nervous system is also a division of the ANS consisting of Myenteric or Auerbach plexus and submucous/Meissner’s plexus. The ANS is involuntary, automatic, unconscious response. Think of whenever you breathe and whenever your heart is beating. You don’t utilize your conscious control to initiate and sustain their function as they do their job independently without your control even when you are at sleep.Most of the organs in our body are dually innervated by both branches. Only very few are not—worth mentioning are the sympathetic cholinergic sweat glands in the skin and the blood vessels. Let us very briefly take a look at how these two systems differ. In ter...

Bakit Kailangang Lumaban?

Minsan sa ating buhay, darating tayo sa puntong hindi na natin kaya ang bigat na ating nararamdaman. Sisigaw tayo, iiyak ng taimtim, papatak ang maraming luha, magtatanong kung may nakakaunawa, at maaring mag-iisip na wakasan na ang lahat. Mahirap maging "tao", mahirap ang mga balakid at problema pero sana atin ding maisip na posible itong masolusyonan.  Galing ako sa isang mahirap na pamilya ; walang trabaho ang aking ina at ang ama ko nama'y farmer lamang. Mahirap ang aking naging buhay, hindi naging madali mawalan ng baon para makapasok sa eskwela. Hindi madaling umiyak dahil wala ka ng pamasahe or pambayad ng matrikula. Minsan kong naitanong kung bakit napakatanga ng aking mga magulang, kung bakit wala silang pera at hindi nila kayang maibigay ang aming mga pangangailangan. Nakapagtapos ako sa isang public school ng elementary at sekondarya. Sa katunayan, class salutatorian ako sa Special Science Class ng isang National High School sa amin. Kahit sa sobrang hi...
