Balagtas, Bulacan
Haligi
Paminsan-minsan, Bigla-biglang gumugulo sa isipan Mga gunita ng lumisan Mga masasayang alaala ng nakaraan.
Dagling mamumugto Hindi mapanuto. Bigla'y mamumula Bitbit ay alaalala.
Pipigiling tumulo Isipa'y aaliwin, sa kung saan itutungo Wag lang muli nanamang gumuho Haliging pilit na pilit kong itinayo.
Iligaw ang isipan. Wag hahayaang magbalik-tanaw kailanman. Hayaan na lamang makasanayan Wag lamang bumalik sa kalungkutan.
new oversimplified video's looking good
Menandro appreciation post because there isn't enough content of him <3 (art creds to BlackInk)
^ LOOK AT MY MANNN
your girl is back at it again with another f&l rant.. kinda-ish
alright, i gotta give balagtas some credit i guess. at least in MY class, we learned balagtas promoted it as a love story, when in reality it was really a fuckshit ton of political allegories abt colonial philippines,, sooo i guess i cant' dogshit him for naming the story "Florante at Laura" even though it focuses on Florante..
buuuuut tbh my point still stands, Laura should've gotten a bigger role in the story. If you're gonna include her in the title, might as well shine a spotlight on her as well. like for fuck's sake balagtas even Aladin had more scenes no wonder 90% of the fandom ships Floradin 😭
there's such a huge missed opportunity with Laura, she could've been like the Maria Clara of this story and it could reflect on the struggles of filipinas during the colonial period, what they had to continuously endure almost everyday. I guess Flerida is a good representation of that, i mean she is the one who ends up killing Adolfo in the end, and we get to see not just the challenges/problems she faces, but how she's able to get through this,, still- it would've been nice seeing this with Laura.
anyways that's all for tonight's Bow yap i really need to review now LMAO
Fun fact about me: I was born on April 2. Coincidentally, so was Francisco Balagtas (so we basically share a birthday). Therefore this technically means I'm Francisco Balagtas and I can confidently say Poly Forest (Florante/Laura/Aladin/Flerida) and Adonandro (Adolfo/Menandro) are all canon (/silly)
Bidlisiw (Tulad ng Alon)
Sa isang kaway.
Isang patunay.
Na hindi nakakalimot
Ang pusong napakibot
Mula sa pagkahimbing
Naakit sa 'yong dating.
Sa pagdaing ng gitara
Sa pagpihit mo at pagtipa
Humihiling ng isa pa.
Ibigay nang lahat ng natitira.
Isugal na ang katauhan
Sa kalokahan at kahihiyan
Na mapansin mo man lamang
Sa dagat ng taong nagsasayawan.
Tulad ng nagdadagsaang alon.
Ibubugso ang silakbo ng pagkakataon.
Ilalagay sa tamang anggulo
Nang magsilbing tahanan ko
Sa tadhanang sumasaliw
Ika'y nagsilbing bidlisiw
Sa mabagal na pagmamaneho
Hindi na muling pepreno.
Masidhing pag-ibig ipagsisigawan
Nasa baba man ng entablado
Distansya man ang espasyo
Naniniklihod na ibibigay
Ang lahat ng pagmamahal sa iyo.
Muli at laban sa lahat ng hadlang
Ihahandog ng walang kalasingan.
Ang lasing na pagsuyo
Ng bayaning sumusuko.
