My Future

My greatest dream is to finish my course and help my family. I will be a Policeman in the future.

Story of my life.

The story of my life is not that much interested, but these are the details.

First I should start in introducing my self, my name is RENEL JAN V. CABASAG born in December 31, 1995. The story of my life starts the day I was born.When I was a child I am a kind of children that (lasangan,buloyagun,gahi ug ulo). Thats why I can always receive a wonder (bunal,kusi,kulata). When I grow up I started my high school life.That time I encounter a lot of different people. My grandmother and grandfather took good care of me,because my mother and father are both  evaporate.hahaha.. They work from other place to sustain our daily needs. Until the time comes I felt something different,oh my God I am in love.weeee??. I wont for get my experience in my high school days,because you will experience the 1st love and first broken heart.But many people tells me that,it is part of our life. Until I reached college,my 1 year in studying in college I can that it was good.One time I went in the disco,but someone gapabikil on me.Then it comes in a point that I punch him two times in the face and knock him out. My family knows about the news what Ive done,thats why they are so angry with. Then I decided to stop my study because I was hurt also what they say to me. After a year came back to school,because I realize that it was my fault. During my high school days I have a girlfriend, and I love her so much.Our love story reached in 4 years,many struggles came but still were still together. Sad to say but the time has come,my love was gone.Because I meet a new girl that where I found my happiness. For me usik jud ang 4 years but I rather let her go than hurting her so badly. Maybe were not for each other, but until now were still girlfriend because I don't know how to tell her that my feelings to her was gone already. I know that what im doing now is a big wrong.But time comes I can fixed this all. I ganna say that im sorry..thats all thank you:(:(

My expectations from new President in the Philippines.

  I expect the next president to alleviate or ease the hardships we are suffering by showing his skills in leading our people to prosperity. 
I do not expect him to have all the solutions at once to fix the country’s lingering problems, but all of six years is already ample time.  He should be righteous and godly. He should be instrumental in cleansing the nation of poverty, graft and corruption, and incompetent leaders. He will bring order, peace and prosperity.  I expect our next president to have his platform of government carried out to its full meaning and intent.  I expect him to fulfill his platform. These are: to lead and to serve the people and do away with trapo politics; strengthen agriculture as a base of nation’s economy; upgrade the educational system to empower the people; work for genuine peace and order; upgrade the nation’s defense capability; be a model of nationalism and patriotism. I expect the next president to be magaling at matalino, decisive at may sariling isip. 

The reason why I choose maja blanca, suman sa lihaya, and bibingkang galapong.

1. I choose this 3 Filipino Native Delicacy because until now a days I can still eat this kind of food.
2. All this 3 kinds of food are delicious.
3. This is also originally Filipino food.

4 eggs, well beaten

2 cups coconut milk

1 cup sugar

1/4 cup melted margarine

2 cups rice flour

2 tablespoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup coco cream,

1/4 cup sugar for topping

1. Add sugar to beaten eggs.

2. Combine salt and flour; add to egg mixture.

3. Add melted margarine, coconut milk, and baking powder.

4. Pour into banana leaf-lined mold.

5. Bake in 375 degrees Fahrenheit oven.

Suman sa Lihiya

Ingredients:

1 kilo malagkit na bigas (glutinous rice)

2 tsp lihiya (lye water)

prepared banana leaves

thin cotton strings

Condiments:

grated coconut

brown sugar

Latik

Procedure:

1. Cut or separate banana leaves into two sizes (all approximates) – one 9 x 11-inch size and the other 5 x 5-inches.

2. Soak the glutinous rice in water for about 1-2 hours.

3. Drain and mix in the lye water.

 It should turn yellowish (this would depend on the strength of the lye water), if not add more lye water a little at a time until it turns yellowish.

 Mix well.

4. Put the big sized leaf lengthwise on a working surface – topside down.

 Then put the smaller one on top of it – topside up and aligned either same as the bigger piece or positioned with the one of the corners pointing to the narrow side of the bigger piece.

5. Place about 3 tablespoonfuls of the glutinous rice mixture on the smaller piece of leaf.

6. Grab the 2 long sides of the bigger piece and bring them together.

 Fold or roll that side to enclose the rice (about 3 half-inch folds).

 It is now long and narrow shaped.

7. Fold about the lower 1/4 of the parcel towards the center.

8. While firmly holding the folded end of the parcel, put it upright and tap it on the table to pack in the rice and if need be add more rice through the open end.

9. Fold the top end towards the center.

 You should have a parcel about 5 x 2-inches in size.

10. Make another one of roughly the same size.

11. Pair these two with the folded sides together.

12. Using thin cotton strings, tie the two ends together tightly.

13. Place the assembled pieces in a big pot and add enough water to cover the suman.

14. Bring to boil and bring down heat to low and simmer for about 1 1/2 hours.

15. Serve warm or cold with grated coconut and sugar.

Cooking Latik:

1. Add 2 Tbsp sugar and pinch of salt to a 400 ml can of coconut milk in a wok or pan (preferably non-stick).

 Stir until sugar and salt is dissolved.

2. Bring to boil then lower heat and simmer until it renders oil and sediments (the latik) start to stick to the bottom.

3. At this point watch it very closely and stir it frequently (it burns easily) and fry the sediments until golden brown.

4. Remove from oil with slotted spoon.

 Serve with the suman.

Panginoon Maraming Salamat

Aking kaarawan ay nabalot ng kasiyahan

Sa halo halong emosyong aking naramdaman

Hindi ko inakala na ako ay gagantimpalaan

Ng buhay na mas higit pa sa aking

  inasahan

Mga taong nagmahal sa akin ng

walang humpay

Bukal sa kalooban ang maibahagi

ang pagmamahal na taglay

Sa kanila ko lubos na naisapuso

Na ang kasiyahan ay hindi kailan man mabibili ng pera

At ang tanging kaligayahan ay unang unang magmumula sa Amang may likha

Panginoon maraming salamat sa mga

Nangyari sa aking buhay

Ibinahagi po Ninyo ang bawat aral nitong

Taglay

Sa panibagong yugto ng aking buhay

Nawa’y makasama ko padin ang Inyong

                                                                     Tanging gabay

ANG MGA LABI MO 

Ang mg̃a labi mo ay dalawang lang̃it,
Lang̃it-na di bughaw, ni lang̃it ng̃ hapis,
Labi ng̃ bulaklak na kapwa ninibig
Labing mababang̃o, sariwa't malinis.

Labi ng̃ sampagang may pait at awa,
Tipunan ng̃ pulót, tamis at biyaya,
Sisidlang ang lama'y kabang̃uhang pawa,
Pook na tipanan ng̃ hamog at diwa.

Tagapamalita ng̃ lihim ng̃ puso,
May oo at hindi, may tutol at samo,
May buhay at palad, may tula't pagsuyo.

Ang̃ mg̃a labi mo'y may pulót na tang̃i
Kung iyan ang aking pagkaing palagi'y
Talo ko ang lahat, talo ko ang Hari.

PUSO, ANO KA?

Ang puso ng tao ay isang batingaw,
sa palo ng hirap, umaalingawngaw
hihip lang ng hapis pinakadaramdam,
ngumt pag lagi nang nasanay, kung minsan,
nakapagsasaya kahit isang bangkay.

Ang puso ng tao’y parang isang relos,
atrasadong oras itong tinutumbok,
oratoryo’y hirap, minutero’y lungkot,
at luha ang tiktak na sasagot-sagot,
ngunit kung ang puso’y sanay sa himutok
kahit libinga’y may oras ng lugod.

Ang puso ay ost’ya ng tao sa dibdib
sa labi ng sala’y may alak ng tamis,
kapag sanay ka nang lagi sa hinagpis
nalalagok mo rin kahit anung pait,
at parang martilyo iyang bawat pintig
sa tapat ng ating dibdib na may sakit.

Kung ano ang puso? Ba, sanlibrang laman
na dahil sa ugat ay gagalaw-galaw,
dahil sa pag-ibig ay parang batingaw,
dahil sa panata ay parang orasan,
at mukhang ost’ya rin ng kalulwang banal
sa loob ng dibdib ay doon nalagay.

Favorite Filipino Poems

                                                        AWA SA PAG-IBIG

Oh! Kaawa-awang buhay ko sa iba
Mula at sapol ay gumiliw-giliw na,
Nguni’t magpangayon ang wakas ay di pa
Nagkamit ng tungkol pangalang ginhawa.

Ano’t ang ganti mong pagbayad sa akin,

Ang ako’y umasa’t panasa-nasain,

At inilagak mong sabing nahabilin,

Sa langit ang awa saka ko na hintin!

Ang awa ng langit at awa mo naman

Nagkakaisa na kaya kung sa bagay?

Banta ko’y hindi rin; sa awa mong tunay,

Iba ang sa langit na maibibigay.

KAHIT SAAN

Kung sa mga daang nilalakaran mo,
may puting bulaklak ang nagyukong damo
na nang dumaan ka ay biglang tumungo
tila nahihiyang tumunghay sa iyo. . .
Irog, iya’y ako!

Kung may isang ibong tuwing takipsilim,
nilalapitan ka at titingin-tingin,
kung sa iyong silid masok na magiliw
at ika’y awitan sa gabing malalim. . .
Ako iyan, Giliw!

Kung tumingala ka sa gabing payapa
at sa langit nama’y may ulilang tala
na sinasabugan ikaw sa bintana
ng kanyang malungkot na sinag ng luha
Iya’y ako, Mutya!

Kung ikaw’y magising sa dapit-umaga,
isang paruparo ang iyong nakita
na sa masetas mong didiligin sana
ang pakpak ay wasak at nanlalamig na. . .
Iya’y ako, Sinta!

Kung nagdarasal ka’t sa matang luhaan
ng Kristo’y may isang luhang nakasungaw,
kundi mo mapahid sa panghihinayang
at nalulungkot ka sa kapighatian. . .
Yao’y ako, Hirang!

Ngunit kung ibig mong makita pa ako,
akong totohanang nagmahal sa iyo;
hindi kalayuan, ikaw ay tumungo
sa lumang libinga’t doon, asahan mong. . .
magkikita tayo!
