Filipino Expat Chronicles - Halloween at Work

Belated Jolly Halloween from Calgary! After *much* pondering and careful analysis of the events, I had decided to spend my Halloween in a fun place called work. It has been a looong time since I dressed up on a halloween... perhaps I grew up too fast, or just because it wasn't a culture in the Philippines. But in Western places like Canada, Halloween is celebrated in a secular and fun way. I guess this could let kids know more of Wicca, or just dress up for the fun of it. I decided to become like a child once more. Here are some pics...

Here's me as a Hunter, a L4D playable zombie character

My manager, dressed up as a surgeon zombie!
He's got yellow contacts, fake blood, latex bite marks effects and brush effects.

Heads up! Mutilated heads hanging above.

Novelty pumpkins, turned into cute 2-eyed spiders..

Patunayan - Silent Sanctuary

Speechless. Let this song be my song for you.

Anghel Ng Buhay Ko

Anghel Ng Buhay Ko
ni phoisohnlily_028

Ikaw ang nagsisilbing ilaw,
ang gabay na aking natatanaw.
Ikaw ang anghel ng buhay ko,
nagbibigay kasiyahan sa aking mundo.

Nakasama kita sa bawat oras,
handnag sumama lumipad kahit hanggang bukas.
Karamay tuwing nag-iisa,
kasama saan man magpunta.

Anghel ng buhay ko,
manatili ka lang s piling ko.
Ayokong ako'y iwan mo,
magbabago ang mundong ginagalawan ko.

Nasanay akong lagi kang nariyan,
Tanging anghel na nagbibigay kasiyahan.
Sana'y habang buhay kitang kasama,
para habang buhay maging maligaya.

In The Long Winter Night

In The Long Winter Night
by traveller
for phoisohnlily_028

A blanket of darkness with me when I sleep
On a mat that has often seen me weep
while from my eyes, rivers of tears flow.
And my heart beating weakly in sorrow

What's to come? The brightest star
We both wish upon there afar
Light years away, how long does it take
a distance, the travel a wish to make?

Tomorrow never comes, like an eternal night
the winter coldness creeps in like frostbite.
I want to be with you and with you to stay
my light, my warmth, my love, my day.

Wala Na

Wala Na
likha ni traveler

Wala! wala! Wala na!
Ang kabuhayan ko pa ang kinuha!
Walang magawa, hindi nag-uusap,
Nakatunganga sa mga ulap.

Bakit nga ba, O Diyos ko?
hindi Mo ba ito gusto?
Matagal na ako naghihintay,
lanta na ang buhay na 'Yong bigay.

Sa una, tao's ay sumasayaw,
masaya ang kanyang bawat galaw.
Ngunit, dahil sa sobrang kabaitan,
pinautang na loob, hindi binayaran.

Kaya sige lang, hipan lang ng hipan,
sa lobo ng kanyang kalooban.
Isang araw, na hindi na niya kaya
at sumabog na lang ang galit niya.

Ang malas pa, sumabay pa ang panahon!
Umaasa sa wala, ngunit hindi makaahon
sa dagat ng buhay, ay kahirapan!
Tangay ng alon, walang pupuntahan.

Saan na ang kinabukasan,
tahimik na nabubulok sa isipan,
walang imik, walang kibo,
tumigas na ang aking puso.

Hindi natutupad ang mga gusto ko
sapagkat iba ang gusto ng ibang tao
Tinadhana ako upang magdusa
Wala. wala. wala na.
