the law of karma

Basic definition: Karma is a sanskrit word and a concept
of eastern religions. Simply explained, it is a sum of all that
an individual has once done and is currently doing. The Effects
of those deeds actively create all that is to happen and determine
every present and future experience, thus completely excluding
random chance.

In Buddhist teaching, the law of Karma, says only this: "For every
event that occurs, there will follow another event whose existence
was caused by the first, and this second event will be pleasant or
unpleasant according as its cause was skillful or unskillful."

A skillful event is one that is not accompanied by craving,
resistance or delusions; an unskillful event is one that is accompanied
by any one of those things. (Events are not skillful in themselves, but
are so called only in virtue of the mental events that occur with them.)

Therefore, the law of Karma teaches that responsibility for unskillful
actions is born by the person who commits them.

1413

i could've told you so many things
i could've said many words
but i became erratic
and my mouth became dry

many thoughts still linger
the many whys and what ifs that remain could not be answered now
because you went away, gone, it will never be the same

wish you were still here... but this wish will just be like
the many other wishes that came and went... like you.
i don't know how this will end...
but this really did not have any beginning

i wish i told you i love you
i wish i did everything for you
i wish i said everything deep down
i wish i did... but now your'e gone

jeepney - spongecola


bumaba ako sa jeepney
kung saan tayo'y dating magkatabi
magkahalik ang pisngi nating dalawa
nating dalawa

panyo mo sa aking bulsa
ang kahapon ay naroon pa rin
tawa nati'y humahalay
sa init nating dalawa

subalit ngayo'y wala na
ikaw ay lumayo
nanaaalala ko ang mga gabing
nakahiga sa ilalim ng kalawakan
naaalala ko ang mga gabing
magkatabi sa ulan

kulay ng iyong ngiti
at tikwas ng iyong buhok
ang lambot ng iyong labing
ng iyong labi

kahit anino mo sa malayo
ay nais masulyapan kaagad
upang mapawi ang lamig
ang lamig

subalit ngayo'y wala na
ikaw ay lumayo na
naaalala ko ang mga gabing
nakahiga sa ilalim ng kalawakan
naaalala ko ang mga gabing
magkatabi sa ulan

naaalala ko... magkatabi sa ulan..
