My First Caloocan Phone (Poem)

My First Caloocan Phone

by Kristian Harvey Lumba

Riding the bus, so happy and excited that I

Would buy my first phone from Caloocan--but there why?

For in San Fernando my sins would force a "Goodbye."

Not knowing, them not showing, the Caloocan spy.

But by my money I swore I would hold in my hands...

(Little by little I saved some small change for my wants...)

That in my hands I'll hold a device powerful, grand

But my mind control was controlled by some expert hands

Gameboy cheats--Left, top, B. Then, I couldn't understand.

Cried I tears of blood for my money and for my time!

Money, little did I have; but had a lot of time.

Time I'd use to think of how to get back. How can I?

Drooling, insane... they'll be my slaves, underdogs. And die?

Dizzy, I'll stutter out curses.

I'll envy their heavy purses!

Dizzy, I'll totter towards them.

Don't belittle the time I'd spend!

Dizzy, I'll stay charming. "Hello!"

The hacked phone explodes with a blow!

Yearbook Message, St. John the Baptist Catholic School of Calumpit, Bulacan, High School Batch 2009: "Genesis" by Kristian Harvey Lumba

St. John the Baptist Catholic School of Calumpit, Bulacan; Motto: Lux et Veritas Twitter post of yacoyharvey Tumblr post of yacoyharvey Reddit post of yacoyharvey Pinterest post about SJBCS of Kristian Harvey Lumba Yearbook Message "Genesis" by Kristian Harvey Lumba In the beginning, there was uncertainty. There were faces and all of them were unreachable by the other. They were still separated by barriers that were still to be removed. And because of this, the room they were in, although lighted, appeared to be dark and empty. Suddenly, the door opened and there was light. On this light is the silhouette of an astute person. The children stood and greeted him "teacher." The teacher asked the students to introduce themselves and, gradually, there came unity. The strangers became acquaintances and all of them became one class in one section. Their teacher was not alone in his noble mission. There were other teachers. Each imposed different challenges that the young

Christmas Celebration in the Philippines (Calumpit, Bulacan) Mulpitac, Buracan

Christmas Celebration and Decoration in a Small Rural Town Back in December 28, 2014, I wrote an article about Christmas in Calumpit, Bulacan, Philippines. The link to it doesn't work anymore, as it is a very old article and it has no visitors. I wanted to repost it here. The original link is https://hubpages.com/holidays/we-found-christmas-in-calumpit under the pen name Tanara Lee. Children of Calumpit town in the Philippines light candles for Virgin Mary's statue The land of true love is still keeping faithfully the Christian traditions passed down to them by the Spanish priests in the year 1572, when they first docked in the town. One can see the joy in the faces of the people as they sing through masses and hear words of sheer love flowing from the mouth of their parochial priest. And although Christmas may not originally have been a Christian tradition, it was Christianity that introduced it to the people of this town, and they do celebrate it as very zealous Christians,
