sa esem.. (palaboy-laboy)

"Patingin-tingin, di naman makabili
 Patingin-tingin, di makapanood ng sine
 Walang ibang pera kundi pamasahe
 Nakayanan ko lang pambili ng dalawang yosi."

 

Mj, Mark, and I were sitting at SM Clark's meeting place when we found ourselves singing this song, Esem by Yano(who happened to be our fraternity brother), as some UP people(mostly freshmen and some sophomores) passes us with a Starbucks coffee in one hand going to Dencio's. They were drinking then  in Dencio's. While us, just enjoying the free music of the band performing then with a plastic bag of canned goods. "Kawawa naman tayo. Sila paDencio's-Dencio's lang, habang tayo nagpapalipas lang ng gutom dito," MJ said. And we laughed. Maybe because it's true.haha. I said, "Alis na kaya tayo? Mukha tayong pulubi dito eh." as I was pointing at our plastic bag of canned goods.haha. Bagay nga siguro yung kantang to samen. Naisip na lang namen, anu kaya iisipin nila? Mga Pi Sig, pulubi?haha. ayun, umalis na lang kame. Dumaan kame sa harap nila na taas-noo at dala-dala ang mga "kang goods" namen kasama yung can opener na kabibili lang para sa mga okasyong ganito (mga unplanned overnight na inuman with canned goods as pulutans). Nasabi ko na lang sa mga kasama ko, "balang araw makakakain tayo jan. Pag-ipunan natin. huwag muna tayo kumain ng tatlong gabi." (with the babangon-ako't-dudurugin-kita face of Yasmien Kurdi). "Bro, basta pag kumain tayo, siguraduhin lang natin may makakakitang taga-UP satin para di sayang pag-iipon." sabi ni MJ habang naglalakad na kami palayo ng nakayuko at nasa bulsa ang mga kamay..

Pause. Think. Wonder with me.

I wonder if there are no countries or regions. There's just one world.

I wonder if there are no white people and blacks. There are just humans.

I wonder if there's no the rich ones and the poor ones. There's just the People.

I wonder if there's no he and she. There's just the word sapiens.

I wonder if there's no such word as "mine". There's just "ours".

I wonder if there's no concept of "I". There's just "We".

I wonder if there are no individuals. There's just our community.

I wonder if there's no economic or  social status. There's just the world's status.

I wonder if there's no divinity. There's just humanity.

I wonder if these could happen.. Just hoping.
