PASA
Ayaw mo bang maranasan ang mga pagbabago na
kalakip ng pagtira mo dito sa lupa.
Gising na! Alisin ang mga balakid at simulan
mo ang pagtahak sa iba’t ibang landas. Bawat hakbang
patungo sa iyong pangarap ay may katumbas na aral.
Sabi nga nila, hindi naman yung makakamit mong
gantimpala pag nakarating ka na sa finish line ang mahalaga,
mas importante yung mga natutunan mo sa paglalakbay.
Nakatala sa alaala ang bawat pagliko mo dyan sa
may kanto, pagtawid sa interseksyon, pagdadalawang isip
mo na magtago doon sa eskinita, pagmartsa mo paikot ng ro-
tonda at ang pagtigil mo sa saydwok upang pagmasdan ang
mga larawang nakapinta sa dingding.
Saan ka man dalhin ng iyong mga paa, ang KALYE
ang magsisilbing larawan ng iyong paglalakbay.

TOLGEYT
Ang volyum na ito ng Pluma ay naghahatid sa inyo ng
iba’t ibang kwentong lansangan. Mga tula, prosa, maiikling kwento
at maging mga obra na may kaugnayan sa mga karanansang maaari
lamang tayong magkaroon kung tayo ay lalabas mula sa ating mga
lungga patungo sa malaya at malawak na daan. Ito ang tolgeyt.
Marahil iniisip mo kung paano magiging simbolo ng kalayaan ang
literaturang ito kung may tolgeyt, eh alam naman natin na ang tol-
geyt ay kung saan ka bumibili ng ticket para makadaan sa hi-way
na napakaraming mga batas trapikong kailangan sundin. Hmmm…
isipin mo kasi yung isa pang tolgeyt dun sa kabilang dulo, diba yun
ang signo na malapit ka nang makarating sa paroroonan mo. Simbo-
lo na matatapos na ang mahaba at nakakainip na pagmamaneho mo.
Palibhasa sa hi-way puro diretso ang daan, smooth-sailing ang biyahe
at wala kang nararanasang bako: boring! Napakalayo sa tunay na
buhay ‘di ba, sapagkat ang ating buhay ay puno ng twists and turns.
Kung kaya ngayon excited ka sa iyong pag-uwi dahil sasalubong na
sa’yo ang kalye.
Isn’t it wonderful?
This passion we share, the careless empathy;
To sway in the touches of hope,
At the stroke of our fingertips we lull;
In the blindness of distance we see;
And at every movement, our minds elope.
Suteki da ne?
Words we divide unto our faithful kiss,
An act of unsparing affection.
Deeper senses of each other unmissed,
Throwing ourselves into ecstasy
Whispers into the ears of obsession
Until the lady sings our elegy...
We’ll hold hands in the heat of fervor

Hindi ka Nag-iisa
Imulat mo ang iyong mga mata,
sa tinatahak mong landas, ikaw ba’y handa na?
Ihakbang mo ang iyong mga paa,
sige lang, hanapin ang nais mong makita.

One night of summer
my heart's beating like a hammer.
I had encountered a monster,

Cassandra’s Fate
Time has separated us for quite a while;

Hopefully not.
We've known each other for like forever now

Why you stared at me, I didn’t understand.

Thinking and glancing,

A Daughter’s Poem
I looked at you and my world changed its hue,
I gasped for a breath and I saw you within the depth.
A voice so melancholic, a melody to my ears,
a touch so warm, yet gentle through all these years.

Estranias
The calm in your stare brings me to surrender
And your voice is a music that lingers on;
How can someone so fine exists?
The pretty little smile on your face,
In my mind, I cannot erase.
I wish I could have your eyes
Because I'm already blinded and
I can't see anyone else
...but you.

Long ago I fell in love with a man
He’s a friend, a brother, a helping hand
He promised to love me forever
We’ll be together and leave me never

I’m in Love with a Nurse
Please establish rapport with me,
Please do it gently.
You make my heart palpitate,
Talking to me increases my respiratory rate,
I don’t know why I can’t help myself from thinking,
When I know that I’m just dreaming.
You caught the attention of my hypothalamus,
My optic nerve still follows your movement.
Cover me when I do experience chills,
Provide me even with just your presence,
Diagnose me with
“Anxiety related to missing you.”
Stay on my bedside...
when I’m cyanotic and blue.
Will you be my perfect nursing care plan?
And please hold firmly my hand.
Maintain my body temperature in your arms.
Cover me and protect me from any harm.
Be my side rails.
Inject me even with 1 cc of your attention
‘Coz I know that your love
is my best medication.
Render me with your health
and affectionate teachings,
Then be my queen and I’ll be your king.
Talk to me in an intimate distance,
Assist me in my ambulation then we’ll dance.
You are the best caretaker ever,
Like I want to be your patient forever.
And be my very significant other.
And this is not a STAT order.

Things already happened,
Unexpected had occurred,
I was blinded by your innocence,
I’ve been deaf and mute for a while,
My world stopped for a minute,
Skipped a beat for a minute,
My body was left unmoved,
Since you went out of my life.
And now the way you look at me
I guess I’m back to reality...
The reality that made my heart sad,
Is the fact that I can lose what I never had

Student Life & Success
“Student’s life
is the beginning of life itself.”
15
I am thankful to every person who considers me as a
friend and who keeps me on the ground. However, I am more
thankful to those who, in spite of not knowing me personally,
considers me as an inspiration. “Cheezy” as it may sound,
behind my every struggle as a student is my desire to fuel the
minds and hearts of people of my age to start acting as alive
individuals. Life is waiting for us to realize it. We must live
and not merely breathe.

Ako naman si Tims, ang lalaking may super lihim na
pagtingin sa anghel ko. ‘Wag niyo nang itanong kung sino
ako. Basta gwapo daw ako. Lalo na ‘pag brownout.
Nagsimula ang lahat ng gumawa kami ng project.
Kami lang dalawa. Sinumpong kasi nang katamaran ang mga
groupmates namin. ‘Yun, mas naging malapit kami sa isa’t
isa. Lagi na kaming magkatext. Cheesy nga namin, e.
Pero dati ‘yun. Iba na kasi ngayon.
Araw-araw, hindi ako nagmimintis na magpadala ng
text sa kanya. Kung susumahin, malulugi ang network pro-
vider ko sa ‘kin. (sulit ang unli oy!). Pero sa miyun-milyong
texts na ipinapadala ko sa kanya, minsan lang siya magreply.
Minsan “hi“ nga lang. Pero masaya na ko dun. Madalas ni-
yang dahilan, walang load o kung meron man, nakaimmor-
tal text naman siya. Kainis na ang immortal na ‘yan, minsan
gusto kong jombagin ng bonggang bongga ang nakaisip ng
ideyang yun e, kagaya ng nararamdaman ko sa nakaimbento
ng Algebra. Dati kasi, lagi siyang unli. Ngayon immortal na
lang. Tsk! Kaasar. Minsan tinext nya ko, nag-aya siyang ma-
nood ng kung ano. Ayun, punta naman ako. Pagdating ko
dun, tinext ko sya kung nasaan siya e di naman siya nagreply
nun. Nanuod tuloy akong mag-isa. Pero ok lang. Naintindi-
han ko naman e. Piso lang kasi talaga halaga ko (haha bitter
daw?).
Ganun ako araw-araw. Pasulyap-sulyap kunwari.
Pinipiksuran ko siya palagi. Oo, mahilig ako sa photography.
Madalas, siya ang subject ko. Nahuli ko nga siya minsan, na-
nunundot. Oo, nanunundot. Kinakalikot nya ang ilong niya
habang nagkaklase kami sa Econ. Tapos after niya makaga-
wa ng half-centimeter in diameter na Christmas clay ball, pa-
simple niyang ididikit sa buhok ng katabi niya. E kulot pa na-
man ‘yun kaya ang daling dumikit. Parang christmas garland
na may clay na ball. Haha Mahilig talaga akong kumuha ng
mga stolen pictures. Pero hindi totoo ‘yung sinabi ko tungkol
18
sa kulangot. Chena lang ba. Pampahaba, ganun.

Walking the Storm
“I’m here, in the middle of the night, the piercing rain
and the cold gusts of wind in my cute green dress; We’re in
the eye of the fiercest storm, and all I want to do now is walk
by your side, hold your hand, kiss your lips and just forget
everything since I know this will never happen again. Never
again.” - Phoebe 11:15 pm

“Yeah.” I still felt cold, and then began to cry. Tears
welled down my face, and I can’t seem to stop them. My fears
saw an outlet, and I need to calm myself.
“Hey crybaby, are you ok?” said Phoebe, thumping
my back.
“My phobias kicked in a while ago. You know what I
feel when I’m in crowds right? I thought I got it all under con-
trol, but I think I’m too tired to even suppress my emotions.”
22
for our guardians, but we didn’t care. We’re sharing the most
beautiful moment of our lives together, and I should be look-
ing for a reason to get out of it. At last, we separated. It felt
like a long time, and she cuddle her arms around me. She was
always strong; maybe she’s stronger than I am. But she will
always be that girl: loving, fragile and unforgettable.

“I hope someday, I get accepted by those who love

INTERSEKSYON
May mga bagay na kahit anong pilit
ay 'di maiiwasan dumarating sa puntong
di ka sigurado kung didiretso, kakaliwa o kakanan.
Biglaan ang pagdating kung kaya't
nagdudulot ng pagkalito, 'di mo batid ang pipiliin
'pagkat di mo alam kung sa'n ka patungo.
Sanctuary
I know you can never be mine,
our feelings can never intertwine.
My love for you is out of line,
and it will just be cursed by time.
In this dark and dim room
lying are all my dreams and imaginations.
Of yesterday that never happened
of tomorrow’s faceless direction.
Lying awake in my bed,
laughing at my daydreams that I can’t forget.
Could it be infatuation?
Or just a fool’s imagination?

Path
Two roads of different destinations,

How would I know which way to go,

The Only in my Heart
Since the day that we crossed paths,
my life was filled with glee.
It seemed as if my world’s complete,
with the joy you gave to me.
You linger in my mind’s content,
my heart screams out your name.
From dawn to dusk this goes as though
with me it will remain.
Oh, what is it that you may have
which made me fond of you?
That quickly took my heart to love,
which I believe is true.
I have no clue if you’d like me,
or if you know me too.
I hope one day you will respond,
to me who yearns for you.
Expecting’s hard, that’s what they say,
but I’ll wait in your part.
For I won’t find someone like you,
the only in my heart.

Maingay sa labas. Nagising ako na mataas na ang

araw. Masyadong maraming tao, magulo, nakakarindi, kaya
ganoon ang ginagawa ko. Nasanay na ‘ko sa ganitong klase

5:45 pm na at huling araw na ng pasok ko para sa
semester na ito. Walang masyadong nangyari sa araw na ito
kundi maghintay sa mga prof ko, magtest, magpa-sign ng
clearance at magpa-check ng iba pang requirements nila. Eto
ako ngayon naglalakad mag-isa sa gilid ng gym, pauwi na.
Nasaan nga ba kasi yung alalay ko? Ang boring naman ng
huling araw na ito nang… ARAYY! Nahulugan ako ng mal-
aki at matigas na kung anong bunga ng puno. Bakit ba kasi
kapag may nami-miss kang tao lagi ka na lang naaaksidente
o tinatamaan ng kung anu-ano? Tingnan mo naman kasi wala
man akong taga-dala ng bag, walang ka-holding hands, wala
akong kinukurot-kurot at hinahampas-hampas. Wala man
akong kausap, walang makabiruan. Nagmake-up pa man din
ako para sa araw na ito. Si Papa Germs talaga…
49
okray ako ng mga tao at nang sinamahan niya ko sa pang-
ookray, naging OK na siya sa akin. Pinakita pa nga niya sa
akin yung picture ng girlfriend at ng crush niya. Ang ganda
nila. Natawa ako dahil nakita kong mahilig pala itong geek na
ito sa maganda at maputi. Kaya lang dahil dun naging close
kami at lagi na lang kami ang niloloko nila: “love team” daw.
At huwag ko daw siyang tinatawag na Papa Germs, Ron daw
kasi ang nickname niya. Pero aangal pa ba siya kung nakiki-
ta naman niyang nakaamba na ang libro ko ng Statistics sa
mukha niya?
2:00am. Dzzztttt…

pag nawawala siya. Masaya ako dahil kahit na sinasabi ko
sa kanya ang mga problema ko hindi niya sa akin ipapaalala
yun kinabukasan. Hindi siya mareklamong tao. Masaya ako
sa kanya, komportable. Pero ano ba talaga?
“Phoebe! I’m back, honey! Gusto mong fries? Salo
tayo sa burger…”
53
9:00pm pa lang at gising ang buong staff, nakasindi ang la-
hat ng ilaw, lahat kami nag-iingay, nagtatawanan at nagke-
kwentuhan. Siya naman nakabaluktot na parang bata sa
kama at hindi ko alam kung nagtutulog-tulugan. Hindi nila
napapansin ang dalas ng pagsulyap ko kay si Papa Germs.
May ginawa ba ko? Mali ba ang sagot ko?
Phoebe, you are girl number two. The girl I’m willing
to love and fight for. Wala naman talagang girl number one.
I was just looking for confirmation last night and I wanted to
see your reaction. You may think it’s too fast but really, I used
up to level 10 logic to think this through. I can never deny the
impact one Phoebe Anathea Lazaro Fernando has in my life.
54
When I first saw you, I was afraid to talk to you. When I first
talked to you, I thought you were cool and I was afraid I liked
you. When I liked you, I was afraid I love you. But now that I
love you, I’m afraid to lose you. When you rest your head on
me, I wish time will stand still. When you stare at me, I want to
cry because I might never have you as a part of me. And I love
holding hands with you. Sometimes I just catch myself saying
I’m a total loser if “we” or “us” never happens, so I just sleep
and resign myself to imagination. The fact is, honey,behind
every litany I say, I’m just a guy, a knight, who is willing to
protect his princess from everything, just because... All I can
offer you is my heart, honey. It’s the last sacred thing about
me.
55
raw idamay dito ang Diyos…)Hindi pa man din ako masya-
dong gising, may reply na sa akin si Papa Germs. At sinagot
pa niya ang tanong ko ng kasentihan din. Medyo natamaan

Taung memye sikan lub kareng kakung kasakitan
Eke pagpalit anggyang kaninuman
Makanyan man,

Ot bigla kang meko, mewala keng kakung panimanman
Atin ku bang agawang emu aburyan?
Makanyan ka, ot eka mibalik? Kekatang pisabyan.

Bludgeon of Democracy
Inside a brave man lies the integrity,
Who fights for what is right and aims for democratic system.
A passionate man with a tough heart,
whom dictators are anxious to have a collision with.
85
Sino ba ang Pinoy?
Kayumanggi ang balat at kulot na buhok,
HIndi katangkaran at may pagka-bansot,
Taas noo kahit kanino,
Yan ang tunay na Pilipino.
86
Kastila't Amerikano tayo'y sinakop,
Inalipin hanggang sa napagod,
Pero kultura nila'y ating minana,
Ibig sabihin ba nito'y bilib tayo sa kanila?

I am a Filipino
I am ( a poem for our homeland)
I am the color of the fields on harvest,
I am the tree known to be the strongest,
I am the ripe, sweet, yellow fruit
88
With no more shame, I bleed it out
I am the pride of my homeland
A Filipino, I have a dignity in my hand
For we have built this paradise,
With tears and blood we paid the price

24 Hours Open
Sa bagal noong jeep,
Ito ang naging trip,
Lampas nang alas-d'yis,
Kailangang magtiis...
Sa pagdaan ng jeep,
Tapos na rin ag trip,
Thank you sir, come again,
24 hours open...

Sisirin ang ipinapahiwatig ng
mga larawan sa dingding.
Masdan ang mga obra
sa gilid ng daan at iyong intindihin.
Ang mga ito'y nagbibigay
ng kakaibang interpretasyon
sa mga pangyayari,
naghihintay na iyong tuklasin
at iugnay sa iyong sarili.
Juan, Laban!

Regina S.Y. 2009-2010
Mam Mel
Kapamilya at kapuso ng School of Arts
and Sciences na nagnanais maging isang full-time
mother sa kanyang dalawang anak, (kung afford lang).
Isang mabuti at maaalahaning ina at kaibigan, kaya ni-
yang ilabas ang kakahayan ng mga taong nakapalibot
sa kanya.
Sir Dan
An expert in the English language. He
sees mistakes anyone cannot easily observe. A great
grammarian, he doesn’t let any errors pass by him. In
addition, he’s an excellent conversationalist and he’s
very willing to share his talent for the learning of many,
(ang hirap i-translate!).
Lucci
Ang punong patnugot ng “R” na gusto
ay laging malinis at nasa ayos ang lahat. Minsa’y hindi
mo mawari kung galit o sadya lamang tahimik. Kapag
tahimik ang lahat, bigla-bigla na lamang siyang kumak-
anta.
Nielsen
Ang pinakaseryoso sa “R” na pinaka-is-
trikto din sa oras. Magaling sa academics at may poten-
syal na maging pangulo ng Pilipinas.
97
Kyrby
Magaling sa lahat ng bagay na alam niya.
Para sa kanya, ang mundo ay kanyang palaruan. Pero
mas pipiliin niyang matulog na lang sa kwarto niya. Ka-
hit laging huli, tinatapos niya lahat ng inaatas sa kanya.
Adon
Ang talentadong tambay ng “R” na ma-
hilig kumuha ng stars. Matalino kaya lang tamad. Ma-
galing sumulat ng kanta at laging nanlilibre sa pama-
sahe.
Lorelie
Ang pinaka-interesanteng kausapin
tungkol sa computer games. Mahilig sa animé at mag-
aling gumuhit. Maliban sa pagiging mabait, maganda
talaga siya.
Jerome
Ang pinaka-cheesy at pinaka-korning
taong pwede mong makilala. Tall, dark and well, sini-
siguro niyang nasa lupa lagi ang paa niya.
Al-Zen
Ang pinakamaingay sa “R.” Kaya niyang
gawing katatawanan ang ano mang bagay na hindi na-
kakatawa. Maganda, mabait at maliit. Ayon sa kanya,
matangkad siya.
Rionel
Ang taong dapat mong tanungin kung
hindi mo alam kung nasaan ang office na hinahanap
mo. Palakaibigan at hindi nambibitin sa joke.
Josh
Ang kutyon na pwede mong bagsakan
kapag magulo ang isip mo. Magaling magbigay ng
payo at isang tunay kaibigan.
98
Phath
Ang may pinakamahabang pangalan na
may pinaka-wirdong ispeling ng palayaw. Mahilg sa
sports, lalo na sa “skatERbording.” Kapag sumayaw na,
mahirap ng pigilan.
Jplip
Ang lider ng ARKIDS na laging busy sa
pagkolekta ng RSO fees. Medyo nakakatakot pero sady-
ang mabait. Malupit sa banat at ayaw sa mga nerd.
Alden
Ang pinakaresponsableng staff. Laging
nagpapasa ng article sa oras. Minsan nga mas maaga
pa. Mukhang seryoso pero hindi naman.
Aprille
Ang babaeng pisikal. Magugulatin at
medyo ma-trip. Mahilig siya sa pizza, lalo na ‘yung
cheesy.
Sean
Ang artist na naging writer. Ang taong
tinatakbuhan ng magugulo ang isip. Isa pang mukhang
seryoso pero hindi naman.
Samboy
Ang dahilan ng katatawanan. Wala sa
timing mag-joke at kinatatakutan dahil wala siyang
pinalalampas na free taste.
Milo
Isa ring artist turned writer. Isang buhay
na bersyon ni Michael Jackson. Sa galaw at sa kulay.
Weslee
Ang staff na mahilig sumabit. Mahilig
imbitahan ang sarili at parang multo na bigla na lamang
lilitaw sa kung saan.
