The Fall of Man

Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?” The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’” “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. (Genesis 3 verses 1-6 NIV)

After I swallowed with his gaze,
the cunning serpent hissed.
Tempting me to take a bite
from the fruit.

Kapag nakaharapan mo ang isang tao sa unang pagkakataon mata ba ang una mong makikita? Hindi sa akin. Kasi nakasalamin siya nung una ko siyang nakita kaya yung salamin yung napansin ko. Kahit na inaalis niya ito paminsan-minsan kapag hinihiram ko, hindi ko pa rin pinapansin ang kanyang mga mata. Tinignan ko lang iyon ng mabuti nang sinusulat ko na ito.

Time I: The Apparent Time

Seniors’ orientation na. And weird ng pangalan at kung bakit kailangan pa ulit naming mag-orientation eh pang-apat na taon na namin yun. Basta, last orientation na naman kaya pupunta na rin ako kahit nakakatamad. Pati nakakamiss din ang school tuwing summer. Siguro yun talaga ang dahilan kaya naming pinagtitiisang pumunta ng mga orientation.
