Kilala mo s’ya.
Kilalang-kilala. Kilala mo ang mga kagaya n’ya. At alam mong sasaktan ka lang n’ya. Kaya hindi ka na aasa. Dahil wala pa man, masakit na.

Paalam, 2016.
Mabilis lang ito. Salamat, 2016. Hindi ikakaila, naging mahirap ang unang kalahati tungo sa kalagitnaan ng taong ito. Muntik nang bumigay at sumuko sa pagkilos. Naging mabigat ang ilang mga bagay at relasyon, hindi lamang tungo sa mga kasama kundi pati sa pamilya. At kung noong 2015, marami ang isinilang. Ngayong nagdaang 2016, marami naman ang namatay — kamag-anak, kaibigan, mga hinahangaang personalidad.
Pero sa kabila ng lahat ng mga sakit ng loob, mayroong mga kabanatang naisara, natasa at sa wakas ay nagbigay ng kapanatagan. Ang taong nagdaan ay taon ng mas marami pang pag-aaral, pagsusuma at paghahalaw ng mga aral mula sa mga nakaraang maraming taon ng karanasan. May mga proseso ring naumpisahan at may mga bagong bagay na inaabangan at eksayted na harapin.
Ito na siguro ang taon na sukdulang sinubok ang damdamin at ang pagiging obhetibo. Kinailangang pangibabawan ang napakaraming emosyon at suhetibismo. At dahil sa mga ito, sa huli ay muling napagtibay na ang kilusang masa at ang pagkilos ay tunay na mas malaki kaysa sa sarili, at na higit pa sa sarili ang pinanataang paglingkuran nang buong buhay at tapat sa loob ng mahigit isang dekada ng pagkilos.
Nasaid yata ang luha sa taong 2016. Naging mahirap, pero muli, kinaya. At ang mahalaga, nandito pa rin at kumikilos. At sa puntong ito, siguradong-sigurado na talaga, panghabambuhay na ito.
Para sa 2017 at para sa mas maiigting pang laban, sakto lang. Eksayted pero chill. Sulong, hanggang tagumpay. 🙂

“Fresca and Their Left Fist Up”
So I said I was gonna paint last night. And so I did. Whew. Haven’t really done this in a while. Not really a watercolor person but it’s a start. Would like to explore this some more. So if you have any tips to share, pls send them my way. Would really appreciate.

Plus I don’t have black in my watercolor palette so that’s quite a challenge. So pls don’t judge.

On Trump, as the new U.S. President
Let us not forget that Trump is a cunning businessman. He knew his target market well and made sure his marketing campaign made them buy what he offers. If there’s anything I’ve learned from advertising in college, it’s that a business thrives on anything, and will do anything, to win against a competitor and to make their sales go up whatever and however it costs — even if that would mean fooling people with their advertisements. That’s what ensures their success in sales. Trump did just that, and he did well.
The challenge now is how a united front will emerge from these conditions and go up against the ‘movement’ that Trump has built — capitalist/imperialist, profit-driven, racist and sexist in nature, at that. Clearly, we have a lot more educating, organizing, and mobilizing to do ahead of us when a person like Trump just won president of the #1 imperialist country in the world. Imperialism has just consolidated its machineries the perfect way possible. And so we must also consolidate the peoples’ forces who are oppressed and exploited by imperialism, and expand our reach to other oppressed and exploited communities and nations all the more. As imperialism continues to build its empire around the world, so must the scores of people join in building an international mov’t that will genuinely address the peoples’ social and economic needs — something that imperialism definitely does not address and even threatens to, and has actually been, trampling on, for the past decades.
This is a time to join forces, not blame anyone for not voting Hillary vs Trump, because even if folks did not vote for third party, I honestly think Hillary would still have lost. Trump is a cunning businessman and I bet he definitely had his mind set on winning — whatever and however it costs.
