"MENSAHE PARA SA MASA" Ni Jojo Bandido
"MENSAHE PARA SA MASA"
Ni Jojo Bandido
Ikaw ako lahat tayo
Sino pa ba sa akala mo?
Na sa lipunan raw ay lagi nakakalat
Dahil sa isipan raw ay tayo'y salat
Tayo raw kasi ay baliw at loko-loko
'Di alam ang tama at totoo
Malayo sa realidad
'Di kayang magkaron ng responsibilidad
Dahil isip raw natin ay lumilipad
Pasanin
Palamunin
Alagain
na habang buhay na pasanin
alam naman naming hindi kami perpekto
'Wag niyo naman sana kaming inaabuso,
Nilalait at tinutukso
may damdamin rin kaming nasasaktan
Kahit hindi niyo maintindihan
Sana lang ay inyong maunawaan
Na 'di namin ito ginusto
Lalong hindi naman plinano
Biktima kami ng pagkakataon
Na patuloy samin nagbabaon
kaya bigyan sana ng sapat na panahon
Na unti-unti kami'y makabangon
Na hindi lahat ng sitwasyon
Sa inyong kuro-kuro at suwestyon
Ay dapat kami sumang ayon
Dahil diyan kayo nagkamali
lalabas sa aming mga labi
Na taas nuo at nakangiti
Oo may sakit kami
'Di namin itinatanggi
Dahil kaya kami ngaun ay malaya
Dahil marami na ang patunay
Na ang katulad namin ay nagtagumpay
May mga hanap buhay
o negosyong tinataglay
Pamilya ay binubuhay
O inaasahan sa gastusin sa bahay
Gigising sa isip niyong walang kulay
Na tila tulog na parang patay
Habang kayo ay binibigla
Sa mga nagawa na namin
Nasa isip at lipunan ay 'di na mabubura
at 'di na mawawala.
-----------------------------------------
Ako ba at ikaw ay gaya niya,
sabi ng iba tayo raw ay kakaiba,
na sa sarili ay nawawala na,
at tila mababa sa paningin ng iba,
'Wag niyong isipin na 'di namin alam,
na tila para bang wala kaming pakiramdam,
na gaya namin hindi nagdaramdam,
kaya ito'y amin ng ipapaalam,
Na kami ay tao rin,
na dapat ring intindihin,
unawain at alalahanin
at nais rin namang inyong mahalin,
oo nga sa amin ay may iba,
sana lang inyong makita,
ang tunay naming halaga,
'di lang para sa katatawanan ng iba,
kundi kami ay tao rin na may pandama,
Na naghahanap ng kaibigan at makakasama.
Na naghahanap ng kaibigan at makakasama.
-------------------------------------------
Kelan ka huling nag-isip
mga kamay tila nakahalukipkip
inuubos ang mga sandaling inip na inip
Kelan kaya magkakatutuo ang aking mga panaginip
Nag-aantay ng patak ng ulan
Buhos ng suwerte kailan matitikman
Lumipas na ang ilang kaarawan
Pero wala pa rin pagbabagong nararamdaman
Nakatanaw sa malayong lugar
Nananalangin madalas sa aking altar
Buhay ko kaya'y kailan aandar
Sa ganitong sitwasyon ako ay asar na asar
Ilang libong hakbang na ang aking nagawa
Tila pag asa ko ay unti-unting nawawala
kailan kaya ang suwerte sa mukha ko ay bubulaga
Gusto ko umahon pero wala akong magawa
Hindi pa huli ang lahat
tama na ang puro satsat
Gumawa ng tama at nararapat
Buhay mo ay 'wag ikalat
Sa tamang daan paa mo ay itapat
Para sa bandang huli sa Diyos magpapasalamat.

MHACTNOW
According to the WHO, 1 in 5 people suffer from mental health problems worldwide, yet there are only 0.05 psychiatrists per 100,000 people in the Philippines; most health insurance companies still don’t cover mental health-related issues, and the stigma still weighs heavily on people suffering from mental illness.
If you want this to change, act now. Sign the petition for the country’s first ever Mental Health Act.
An initiative by the Philippine Psychiatric Association, the Mental Health Act aims to protect the rights of people with mental disorders and/or disabilities by putting in place an official body that will oversee the policies and programs that need to be developed to prevent and treat mental illnesses, and to promote the mental health of Filipinos.

MRB - Coffee Paintings
Have you ever painted with coffee? Believe it or not, it’s a wonderful medium for monochromatic artwork, with a wide range of rich brown hues.
You can use both instant and regular coffee to paint with. Instant coffee is a great time-saver—all you have to do is dissolve some instant coffee in hot water. Change the coffee/water ratio to achieve a lighter or richer color. Darker hues will require less water than the lighter shades.
Regular coffee is even better if you’re like me and always have leftovers after brewing it in your coffee maker. I always pour mine into a clean pickle jar and keep it in the refrigerator until I’m ready to paint.
If your coffee turns out too light, boil some of it in a saucepan for a couple minutes until it thickens up and gets darker. Just like watercolors, you can always add water while painting to make lighter values.
Naturally, when painting with coffee you will also need paper (I use 140 lb. watercolor paper), paintbrushes, tissue for blotting up excess coffee, a pencil, and several small Dixie cups, or whatever you have on hand.
Painting with coffee
I usually begin by sketching my design lightly on the paper, just like a regular painting. Once the sketch is down, I can add the coffee.
Coffee lightens when it dries, so no matter how dark your thickest mixture is, you will probably want it to appear even darker on the paper. You will need to go over your paper quite a bit until you reach the desired appearance.
Wait until the previous layer is completely dry before adding the next. You can use a hair dryer to dry each layer and speed the process; it works beautifully.
If you don’t wait until it’s dry, you may find your coffee bleeding into the previous layer. This can wash away color and possibly ruin your painting.
Continue layering it on and adding more details.
Try it out! And enjoy the cheap, yet rich, color of coffee in your art.
