Do you smell something? I smell Christmas!

 Hello, everyone! I'm back with a post today. :)

This post isn't my written masterpiece or whatever. It's something that I actually thought of when I walked down the stairs of my school and happened to look out of the window. My eyes widened in admiration when I saw the trees outside being lit up with colorful circle lights.

I'm sorry about the quality of the photos. I just took them using my phone. But I really have to show you how awesome it looked. Not like it's really beautiful in the picture but I guess you can imagine it, right?

Well, anyway, when my friends and I finally turned for the last set of stairs to reach the main lobby. If my eyes widened in awe when I saw the lights on the trees outside, the thing on the main lobby blown my mind.

Balak entitled "Duka"

First of all for those who don't know what "Balak" is. It is a poem using the Cebuano language. This is my very first Balak. It was a homework for my Cebuano Journalism Class. I had fun making this. This was submitted on August 27 or 26, 2012.

By the way, I also put the English Translation of the poem. The translation is neither literal nor poetical though.

Duka = Sleepiness/Drowsiness

Bug-at na ang akong tabon-tabon.
Misugod na og samok nako
Ang duka nga permi mabati
Sayo pa sa gabii

Kon aduna ako’y buhatonon
Lisod sugdon,
Lisod humanon,
Tungod sa duka nga nagsamok-samok.

Grabe ang temptasyon
Samot na nga naa ra sa dapit ang kutson.
Kon ang kapoy mahinumdom,
Ambot na lang unsa ang buhaton.

Moundang ba ko sa akong gibuhat?
Kun padayonon nalang?
Mitan-aw ko sa orasan.
Kadlawon na, sayo pa ko molakaw unya.

Unsaon man ni nako?
Gusto na nako matulog,
Gusto na nako mohigda.
Apan wala pa ko mahuman.

Giandam na nako ang alarm clock
Para duha ka oras gikan karon makamata.
Mihigda nako sa akong higdaanan.
Nagtanday og usa ka unlan.
