Here's a thought for every man

another classic from Oasis.

Cast No Shadow

Here's a thought for every man 
Who tries to understand what is in his hands 
He walks along the open road of Love & Life 
surviving if he can 

Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say 
Chained to all the places that he never wished to say 
Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say 
and as faced the sun he cast no shadow 

As they took his soul they stole his pride 
As they took his soul they stole his pride 
As they took his soul they stole his pride 

Here's a thought for every man 
Who tries to understand what is in his hands 
He walks along the open road of Love & Life 
surviving if he can 

Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say 
Chained to all the places that he never wished to say 
Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say 
and as he faced the sun he cast no shadow 

As they took his soul they stole his pride 
As they took his soul they stole his pride 
As they took his soul they stole his pride 

And as he faced the sun he cast no shadow

Es tan corto el amor

Puedo Escribir

 

Puedo escribir los versos más tristes esta noche.

Escribir, por ejemplo: 'La noche está estrellada,

y tiritan, azules, los astros, a lo lejos.'

El viento de la noche gira en el cielo y canta.

Puedo escribir los versos más tristes esta noche.

Yo la quise, y a veces ella también me quiso.

En las noches como ésta la tuve entre mis brazos.

La besé tantas veces bajo el cielo infinito.

Ella me quiso, a veces yo también la quería.

Cómo no haber amado sus grandes ojos fijos.

Puedo escribir los versos más tristes esta noche.

Pensar que no la tengo. Sentir que la he perdido.

Oir la noche inmensa, más inmnesa sin ella.

Y el verso cae al alma como al pasto el rocío.

Qué importa que mi amor no pudiera guadarla.

La noche está estrellada y ella no está conmigo.

Eso es todo. A lo lejos alguien canta. A lo lejos.

Mi alma no se contenta con haberla perdido.

Como para acercarla mi mirada la busca.

Mi corazón la busca, y ella no está conmigo.

La misma noche que hace blanquear los mismos árboles.

Nosotros, los de entonces, ya no somos los mismos.

Ya no la quiero, es cierto, pero cuánto la quise.

Mi voz buscaba el viento para tocar su oído.

De otro. Será de otro. Como antes de mis besos.

Su voz, su cuerpo claro. Sus ojos infinitos.

Ya no la quiero, es cierto, pero tal vez la quiero.

Es tan corto el amor, y es tan largo el olvido.

Porque en noches como ésta la tuve entre mis brazos,

mi alma no se contenta con haberla perdido.

Aunque éste sea el último dolor que ella me causa,

y éstos sean los últimos versos que yo le escribo. 

-pablo neruda

before the street begins

Where the Sidewalk Ends

 

There is a place where the sidewalk ends

And before the street begins,

And there the grass grows soft and white,

And there the sun burns crimson bright,

And there the moon-bird rests from his flight

To cool in the peppermint wind.

Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black

And the dark street winds and bends.

Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow

We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,

And watch where the chalk-white arrows go

To the place where the sidewalk ends.

Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,

And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go,

For the children, they mark, and the children, they know

The place where the sidewalk ends.

Forza Barca!

Messi crowned king of the Champions League

Jordi Clos

In a Champions League showdown billed as Lionel Messi against Cristiano Ronaldo to see who is the best player in the world it was the Portuguese international that began brightly, but the Argentinian that came out as a hero.

The Barcelona and Manchester United stars drew nearly all the attention during an intense build-up to the Champions League final in Rome as they have been cited as the best by FIFA and France Football magazine and neither disappointed, but just like in the Bernabéu against Real Madrid, Messi was able to move in field more, while Ronaldo also took up a central role as he did against Arsenal in the semi finals. 

Imposing Ronaldo 

In the opening minutes it was Ronaldo that shone as he saw a free-kick from 25 yards that saw Vítor Valdés parry the ball and have Gerard Piqué clear the rebound and again the United player took aim from 40 minutes soon after with a drive that was off target as he looked confident and ambitious. There was to be another effort in the eighth minute that flew past the far post too. 

Eto'o opens the scoring 

Manchester United's early promise and attacking intent had the brakes firmly put on it after ten minutes though when Barcelona netted the first goal of the game with their opening attack as Samuel Eto'o beat Edwin van der Sar. Practically of the Red Devils' attacks came through Ronaldo and in the end he was having to be stopped by any means properly as Gerard Piqué proved when being booked in the 16th minute. 

Growing in confidence 

Barça grew in confidence and improved throughout in the Olympic Stadium and within the team Messi also looked better and better as he linked up well with the ever-impressive Andrés Iniesta and Xavi Hernández to keep United chasing the game and chasing the ball. The Argentinian had his first chance of the game in the 19th minute when he looked up from outside the area and sent a drive that flew just over Van der Sar's crossbar. Before half-time he then embarked on a run towards the centre of the Manchester United defence before shooting. 

The second goal 

In the second half the game opened up even more and Messi had claims for a penalty waved away in the 50th minute. His statistics were also well on the way to being impressive as he completed 51 passes, with 84 per cent success rate, while Ronaldo managed 31 passes, with a 68 per cent success rate. In the 70th minute the two players were separated at last as Messi was picked out by a sublime cross from Xavi and he rose behind Ferdinand to send a stunning header beyond Van der Sar and into the far corner of the net. Ronaldo's game concluded as he received a card for a tackle on Puyol and left Messi being crowned as the king of the Champions League with nine goals.

SG8 = Footballer of the Year

The Liverpool skipper beat off competition from Manchester United pair Ryan Giggs and Wayne Rooney to win the most prestigious individual award in English football.
 
Having already landed the PFA Fans Player of the Year award this season, the FWA honour caps another incredible campaign for the 28-year-old midfielder, who has led by example and driven his side to within touching distance of achieving their title dreams.
 
Whether those dreams are realised over the next week or not remains to be seen, but over the course of the past ten months Gerrard has once again cemented his standing as the finest midfielder in European football.
 
His two goals at West Ham United on Saturday - which temporarily fired Liverpool back to the top of the league - saw him climb above Ian St John in the club's all-time scoring charts as he took his tally for the season to an impressive 23, equalling his best ever return in a red shirt.
 
Fifteen of his goals this term have arrived in the Premier League and have included strikes in high-profile games against Manchester United and Everton, while in Europe he also rose to the occasion with five goals in the group stages - including his 100th goal for Liverpool against PSV Eindhoven - and then two more against Real Madrid in the last sixteen clash at Anfield.
 
"We are delighted to honour Steven's contribution this season with our prestigous award," said Steve Bates, National Chairman of the Football Writers' Association.
 
"Steven has had a fantastic season and has so often been the driving force behind Liverpool's forceful challenge for the Barclays Premier League title.
 
"His passion and desire to send the title race into the closing days of this campaign has underpinned Liverpool's pursuit of Manchester United and he has frequently caught the eye with outstanding performances which have showcased his considerable talent.
 
"Steven is viewed by the Football Writers who voted as the heartbeat of Liverpool's team and a player who gives everything for the cause.
 
"He beat off a strong challenge from Old Trafford stars Ryan Giggs, Wayne Rooney, Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand to emerge as a clear winner and he follows a long and illustrious list of British and European footballers to win the vote of the Football Writers."
 
Steven will be presented with his award at a gala dinner at the Royal Lancaster Hotel in London on Friday May 29.

Sitting On Top Of The World - Liverpool FC

2010 : Nalalapit na pagbabago?

              Sa kakaunting oras ko na ginugugol sa panonood ng telebisyon ay madalas kong napapansin, at marahil ninyo din, ang mga patalastas na, ayon sa mga politikong andito, nagpapakita ng isang adbokasiya. Marahil alam na ninyo, o baka memoryado na, ang numero na kailangang tawagan pag may naaping OFW. Eh yung anim na taong gulang na bata na gusto mag artista at yung kuya niya, na labing tatlong taon, na gustong maging seaman, kilala na ba ninyo? At kung may kalamidad naman, siguro ay susundin na  lamang ninyo yung letra ng apleyido ng isang tao para maiwasan ang kapahamakan. Pwede din naman na maghugas na lamang ng kamay para mawala ang mga mikrobyo na dahilan ng problema natin. O di kaya, ikaw mismo ang mag isip ng linya na sasabihin para sa patalastas na ito. Pero mas maganda kung sana sa buong bayan may ganito.

 

            Oo, mga ser, kaibigan, at kababayan - nagsisimula nang umihip ang hangin ng eleksyon.

 

            Sa loob na lamang na humigit kumulang na isang taon ay pipili na muli tayo ng mga lider na kakatawan sa ating mga pangarap, mithiin, at lalong lalo na sa ating bayan. Mga lider na magiging batayan kung ano ba talaga tayo bilang isang bansa – kung ano sila, ganoon tayo. Sa pamamagitan ng eleksyon ay naipapahatid natin sa paraang konstitusyonal ang gusto nating mangyari sa Pilipinas. Nasa munting papel na ating susulatan, ang ating dambuhalang minimithing kinabukasan para sa bansa. Sa bawat pangalan na isusulat natin sa balota ay ang ating buong pusong pagtanggap ng responsibilidad para sa kinabuksan ng bayan.

 

            Noong unang beses akong bumoto, akala ko ay madali lamang ito. Pumunta lamang ako sa presinto ng maaga dala ang aking kodigo, ang iisang pagkakataon na pinapayagan ang kodigo sa loob ng paaralan, at kinopya ko lamang ang mga pangalan na nakasulat sa kodigo ko. Sabi ko pa sa sarili ko noon, “Ah, ah! Ganoon laang pala ang pagboto. Pagkakadali laang naman pala eh.”[1] Ayun pala, mali ako.

 

            Nagkataon na ang unang eleksyon na aking sinalihan ay ang  presidential election noong 2004, hindi kasi ako nakarehistro para sa eleksyon ng 2001. Natatandaan ko pa na pinagtatalunan pa naming mag tatay kung sino ang iboboto. Sa totoo lamang ay ayaw niyang iboto si Gloria kasi mukha daw gahaman sa kapangyarihan, kayo na ang maghusga kung may katotohanan ito, ayun nga lamang, matagal tagal na rin siya sa gobyerno. Pero dahil ayaw niya naman manalo si FPJ, kasi hindi pa subok sa pamumuno sa kahit isang bayan man lang, ay mas pinili niya si GMA – na siya naman niyang binoto. Ito ang argumentong ginagamit niya sa akin - para daw mapabuti ang bansa. Natawa lang ako dahil kung ito ang sinasabi niyang magpapabuti ng kalagayan ng bansa – sabi nga ng mga matatanda sa Batangas, “Ay, pihong utas tayo diyan!”[2] Alam naman natin ang naging resulta ng eleksyon na iyon, totoo man o hindi yung resulta. At ngayon, limang taon ang nakakalipas, ang resulta ng eleksyon na iyon ay nararamdaman pa rin natin hanggang ngayon.

 

(Hindi kasi natatapos ang eleksyon, para sa akin, sa paghulog mo ng balota sa kahon o kaya sa pagproklama ng mga nanalo, natatapos ito sa susunod na pagkakaton na boboto ka muli.)

 

            Nakakatawang isipin na nagagalit tayo sa ating mga kasalukuyang lider. Nagagalit tayo sa mga taong namumuno ngayon na tiwali, gahaman, mandaraya, mandurugas, mandarambong, at kung ano pang mga salitang may relasyon sa mga nasabi na. Nagagalit tayo sa kanila kasi sinira nila ang ating mga pangarap, mithiin, at pag asa. Pero, teka, nagagalit ba talaga tayo sa kanila?

           

           O nagagalit tayo sa ating mga sarili na nagluklok sa kanila sa kanilang kinatatayuan? Hindi kaya nagagalit tayo sa ating sarili dahil binoto natin sila dahil sikat lamang sila?[3] (Tinatangkilik kasi ng karamihan kaya naman dumadami ang tumatakbong artista kahit na walang alam.) O di kaya galit tayo sa sarili natin dahil pinagbenta natin ang ating pangarap o, ang mas malma, ang pangarap pala ng ating bansa, para sa kakarampot na pera? Nagagalit tayo siguro kasi alam naman natin kung sino ang karapat-dapat iboto, pero dahil tayo mga ungas (oo, ungas! Ako, ikaw, siya- tayong lahat.) binoto natin yung alam nating sisira ng lahat na gusto natin – at ngayon tayo nagsisisi (pasensya na lang hindi pwede ang “I'm sorry” dito). Huwag nating isisi sa iba ang kahirapang tayo din ang may naglagay sa ating mga sarili – tayo ang may dahilan kaya dapat lamang na mag tiis tayo. O baka naman nakalimutan na naman natin na tayo ang bumoto sa kanila? (Ang pagkalimot at pagkakaroon ng maikling memorya ang totong sakit ng mga Pilipino.)

 

            Sana naman ay natuto na tayo sa mga pagkakamali na nagawa natin. Sana naman ipagtuloy natin ang paghahanap at pag aasam ng mas magandang kinabukasan para sa bayan. Sana maisip natin na ang boto natin ay hindi para lamang sa indibidwal na bontante o sa kandidato, para ito sa ating lahat. Sana huwag lang natin ito makalimutan.

 

-----

Pasensya kung may kaguluhan bagong gising lang.

 

-----

For the record, si Raul Roco ang presidente na aking binoto noong 2004. Isang boto na aking pinagmamalaki at hinding hindi pinagsisihan.

-----

 

Pahabol:

Hindi ako sigurado kung tama ang nadinig ko pero sabi sa balita ay naglunsad ang mga artists ng isang konsyerto na ang tema ay: 365 days to change. Nakakatawa kasi kailangan mo pa bang maghintay ng ganoon katagal bago magbago? Bakit kaya hindi na lang simulan ngayon?

At kung magkaroon na naman ng anomalya, chillax pa din dapat kasi sa 2010 din ang [click here]

[1]    Ganun lang pala ang pagboto. Madali lamang naman pala. “ah, ah!” isang ekspresyon ng pagkamangha.

[2]    Siguradong patay tayo diyan.

[3]    Oo, bumoto ako kay Vilma Santos hindi dahil sikat siya, pero dahil pinaganda niya at inayos niya ang Lipa.
