𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗔𝗥𝗬 | Love Beyond Currents

I’ve always been fond of the ocean.

It casts waves that go beyond currents.

Just how love speaks to the tidal waves gushing through the open shores as one would tell not-so-shallow stories of those they adore.

These stories of what ought to be called ‘love’ taking pride in their beliefs that glisten through the liquid blues reflecting the strength of these colorful hues.

With every truth spoken, the ocean listens.

There is no limit to each wave that touches their feet, walking towards a surface where a yearning heart embraces the impending doom of raging waters that scream to no longer silence a love anew.

In June, each one of these memories simply come undone with every drop of rain making ends meet with the ocean’s surface every time the clock strikes one.

One minute of missing each moment that passes by.
An hour or two of thinking about the stuff that we could do.
One full day of simply wanting to feel the freedom of loving you.

These fatal fantasies may only remain in the depths of a hidden heart, but I shall forever vow such longing truths. Truths that will no longer remain a silent promise to the seas, but instead, a testimony worth proclaiming to — this love as a roaring tsunami of what it means to fight for you.

I’ve always been fond of the ocean.
It exists as my remembrance of you.

Sending waves and crashing currents, diving down deeper and deeper ‘til this fight for love reawakens.

𝗣𝗔𝗡𝗜𝗧𝗜𝗞𝗔𝗡 | Maglayag Ka, Liyag Ko

Sumibol ka,
Yumabong ka,
Ikaw na bunga ng punong hitik sa kaba...

Ilang beses mo ng naramdaman na ikaw ay pinagkakaitan ng kalayaan, na ang sabi nila ay para sa lahat, husgahan ka man at tignan ng mga matang puno ng pag tanggi sa iyo, matakot ka man na hindi mailabas ang tunay mong anyo, hindi mo mababago ang katotohanan; Ikaw ang epitomya ng katapangan.

Sa bawat paligsahan, ikaw ang nauuna, kahit sa patagalan ng paghinga, bandera mo'y hindi maiitumba. Makapangyarihan ka at hindi mo kailamman kailangan patunayan ang sarili mo sa iba. Pinanganak ka para maging bida; Ikaw ang centerfold ng bawat pahina.

Piring at pantabing lang sa tainga ang sandata ko laban sa mga sigaw ng lipunang mapanghusga — At sapat na 'yon. Sapat na upang ipagsigawan ang lihim ng puso kong matagal nang naitikom: ang mahalin ka nang buo kahit parehas man tayo ng kasarian — ang kalingain ka ng higit pa sa kaibuturan ng katotohanan; hindi bilang kahinaan, kundi bilang paninindigan.

Ang mabuhay ka ay isang kayamanang hindi kailanman nanaising mapirata, mahalaga ka, ang pagmamahal na nakaalay para sa iyo ay higit sa rami ng bituin sa kalangitan, ikaw ang anak, kaibigan, at tahanan ; Ikaw ang bahaghari pagkatapos ng isang malakas na pag ulan.

Sinisigurado ko sa iyo, hindi lang sa buwan na ito ka lamang magiging bida,

𝘿𝙖𝙝𝙞𝙡 𝙠𝙪𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝙥𝙖𝙜-𝙞𝙗𝙞𝙜 𝙖𝙮 𝙢𝙖𝙥𝙖𝙜𝙥𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙮𝙖, 𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙗𝙞𝙜𝙞𝙣 𝙠𝙖 𝙖𝙮 𝙥𝙖𝙠𝙞𝙠𝙞𝙗𝙖𝙠𝙖.

habang buhay kitang iibigin,
habang buhay tayong makikibaka.

Malaya kang maging malaya. Maglayag ka, Liyag ko.

Dumagundong ang buong G-Sports Court ngayong araw matapos angkinin ng Hayabusa Hurricane ang tagumpay sa laban para sa ikatlong puwesto sa Men's Basketball.

Muling ipinamalas ng Hayabusa Hurricane ang kanilang husay sa depensa, lalo na si Enrile na matapang na hinarap ang matatangkad na manlalaro ng Alpha Thunders. Umpisa pa lamang ng unang kuwarter ay umarangkada na ang koponan sa pamamagitan ng sunod-sunod na pagdakdak at matitinding tres, agad na tinambakan ang kanilang kalaban.

Hindi natinag ang Hurricane sa kabila ng ilang pagsubok at pagkakadapa sa laro—nanatili silang agresibo, disiplinado, at determinado hanggang sa huling segundo. Tuluyan nilang naiselyo ang panalo sa iskor na 72–59.

Matapos ang mainit na labanan, sabay-sabay na nagtipon ang koponan para sa isang taimtim na panalangin na pinangunahan ng kanilang team captain na si Ken Saren bilang pasasalamat sa Ama sa matagumpay na pagtatapos ng kanilang laban.
