ANG LUPIT MO LANDO!

2008-05-23T09:54:29+02:00

ANG LUPIT MO LANDOMayroon akong PAPA.LANDO ang pangalan niya.Mahal ko siya.Ewan ko lang sa kanya.Sa tuwing kami ay magkikita,Nabubutas ang aking bulsa.Sa umaga, pengeng pera,Sa hapon, pengeng pang meriyenda,Sa hapunan ay wala na siya,Pero ubos na ang pagkain sa lamesa.Hindi ko alam kung bakit ba?Ako ba’y martir o tanga lang talaga?Harap-harapan na ako’y niloloko na,Ngunit sa’yo ako’y patay na patay pa.Lahat ng gusto mo’y ibinigay ko na,Ano ba naman ang kulang pa?Sarili ko ay kinalimutan ko na,Para lang ikaw ay mapasaya.Ngunit bakit ganito LANDO?Durug na durog na ang aking pusoSa tuwing ako’y kausap mo,Unti-unti ako’y lumalayo.Baka kung ano na naman ang iyong ibato,At tamaan na naman ang mukha ko.Kailangan nang matigil ito,Hindi ko na gusto ang mga kilos mo.Totoong napaka-makasarili mo,Paano naman ako?Mas maganda pala sa aking mundo,Kesa sa piling mo na parang impyerno.Hindi na ikaw ang lalaking nakilala ko.Wala na ang iyong mga pangako.Talagang hindi ka naging totoo,Lumuha lang ako sa piling mo.Babalik na ako sa aking paraiso,Sa mundong minamahal ako.Doon ay hindi nila ako hinihingian,Bagkus ako pa ay kanilang binibigyan.Hindi ko kailangang magdusa at masaktan,Sa kanila ay tao akong tinuringan.Ngunit hangang ngayon ako’y nasasaktan,Ikaw na nga ba’y nasaan?Sana ikaw ay maliwanagan,Magisip nang iyong mga pagkukulang.Sapagka’t ako’y nagiisa lamang,Nagmahal sa’yo ng walang hangganan.Ngayon, ako’y maligaya na,Buhay ko ay natagpuan ko na.Ngunit hanggang ngayo’y mahal pa rin kita.Kailan kita muling magkikita.Sana lang ako’y wag nang sasaktan pa,Nang ako’y wag nang lumayo pa.Kay lupit mo LANDO

Las Vegas Travel

2006-10-05T02:14:40+02:00

If you are considering a vacation to Las Vegas, it is important to realize that the city of Las Vegas has much more to offer than just casinos. No longer known for just gambling, Las Vegas has fashioned itself into an all around tourist destination. Today, the streets of Las Vegas are filled with business people, families, honey moon couples and even senior citizen tour groups.

I have received my Velo'v card today!

But what is Velo'v, you might say... Velo'v is a brilliant and simple concept. There are about 3000 bikes provided by the city hall of Lyon. All those bikes are situated in 200 'stations' around Lyon and in the suburbs. You can take a bike where you live, for example, ride to your workplace and park it to the closest velo'v station, where somebody else will use it to go somewhere else.

If you live in Lyon and wish to use the bikes on a regular basis, you can order a long term card (like the one I have received). It cost £7 (10€) for a whole year. After that, you can use the bike as much as you want, considering the first half hour is totally free and after that it is about 0,50€ per hour. If you are just passing by, you can get a short term card which costs 1€. Once again, the first half hour is free and then it's about 1€ per hour. It is really convenient for people who have no opportunity to store their bikes at home or at work, and you don't need to worry that someone is going to steal your beloved bicycle. The bikes are really handy with a basket at the front, three levels of speed (not sure how to explain this, but you get the idea... don't you..?) the required lights and the thing to tie your bike to something to avoid theft (obvious lack of vocabulary here...). Everyone loves Velo'v in Lyon, they constantly add more stations and more bicycles and the concept has already reached other French towns. More and more people choose to use bikes instead of cars in town which makes the city much more agreable and clean.It has also brought back an old habit of our ancestors : the romantic cycling... All around Lyon, you come accross young men riding Velo'v with their girls facing them, sitting on the handlebar... I'll try and take a picture sometime soon. Romance is back in the heart of our cities, so bucolic!
