Unsaon Ta Man ug Hilas


Unsaon Ta Man ug Hilas
ni Robert Pableo Lim (1988)

Daddy ang tawag kanako
sa akong four-year old anak;
Papa unta to apan gipausab ni misis.
(Unsa pa kahay iyang ipausab no?)

What's your name, little boy?
One year old pa lang siya
kamao na siyang moyubag ining pangutana.
Yungit primero apan cute paminawon.

How old are you?
Ipakita dayon niya ang iyang usa ka tudlo.
One, two tle...
Makalingaw nga makapasubo.

Where do you live?
Two years old na siya kapin
dihang klaro-klaro na niyang
matubag ang kumpleto namong address.

Pag-abot niyag three years old
magsige na siyag bira sa akong karsones
nga magkanayon-- Go to school na ko, daddy.
Wanna play and sing in school.

Sa di pa kani matulog
istoryahan nako siyag agta ug duwende
ug kantahan nako siya "Ako'y Anak ni Tatay"
sa pamasin nga dili siya hilasan
inig basa unya niyag mga basahon sa atong pinulongan.

A mind map is a diagram used to represent words , ideas , tasks, or other items linked to and arranged around a central key word or idea. Mind maps are used to generate , visualize , structure , and classify ideas, and as an aid in study , organization , problem solving , decision making , and writing. The elements of a given mind map are arranged intuitively according to the importance of the concepts, and are classified into groupings, branches, or areas, with the goal of representing semantic or other connections between portions of information. Mind maps may also aid recall of existing memories . By presenting ideas in a radial, graphical, non-linear manner, mind maps encourage a brainstorming approach to planning and organizational tasks. Though the branches of a mindmap represent hierarchical tree structures, their radi

Diet Tips For Me

Healthy eating tip 1: Set yourself up for success  To set yourself up for success, think about planning a healthy diet as a number of small, manageable steps rather than one big drastic change. If you approach the changes gradually and with commitment, you will have a healthy diet sooner than you think. Simplify . Instead of being overly concerned with counting calories or measuring portion sizes, think of your diet in terms of color, variety and freshness—then it should be easier to make healthy choices. Focus on finding foods you love and easy recipes that incorporate a few fresh ingredients. Gradually, your diet will become healthier and more delicious. Start slow and make changes to your eating habits over time. Trying to make your diet healthy overnight isn’t realistic or smart.  Changing everything at once usually leads to cheating or giving up on your new eating plan. Make small steps, like adding a salad (full of different color vegetables) to your diet once a day or switchi

4 Signs That a Man’s Ready for Marriage — and 4 That He’s Not

His Oat-Sowing Days Are Over According to John Malloy, author of Why Men Marry Some Women and Not Others , which details the results of a survey of 2,500 men, the singles scene no longer appeals to a man who is ready to marry. Malloy interviewed men from ages 17 to 70 who were about to marry ; all admitted they felt increasingly out of place in the bars, pool halls and dance clubs that were once their favorite hangouts. He’s Financially Independent Tina Tessina, Ph.D., a California psychotherapist, explains, “Men do have a biological clock, but their timing is different from women. Most men’s priorities tend to be focused on winning financial security before having a family. If he’s still struggling to pay his bills, he’s not going to want to add the burden of supporting a wife.” To take it further, the man you’re looking for is a grown-up – someone who can be counted on. He’s able to commit to a job, not to mention family and friends. On the romantic front, even if he’s not r
