Ang mga naulila ko, aba'y nag-be-birthday pa rin!
The ones I left are still having their birthdays!

Happy belatday, Lui. Bibisitahin kita mamaya ha!
Happy bday, Lui. I will visit you later!

At sa anak kong si Sweepy, malapit ka na maging 10. Arekup, tumatanda ka na hoy!
And to my pup Sweepy: you will turn 10 soon. Oh-oh, you are getting old!

Malayo ka man sa paningin ng iba, malapit ka pa rin sa walang paningin.
If you seem distant from the others, you will always be near to those who does not use their sight.

Sagot sa tanong ng madla:
Answers to people's queries:

1. Patay ka na ba, Sumo? (Are you dead, Sumo?)
Ay oo, bayan. (Yes, I am) Iniwan ko na ang katawan ko sa lupa. (I left my body in earth) Pero ang buong pagka-aso ko, buhay na buhay pa! (But my dog-being is so alive!) Kaya nandito pa rin ako! (That is why I am still here!) Mamatay kayo sa inis. (You'll only die in irritation!)

2. Saan ka ba nagpunta, Sumo? (But where did you go, Sumo?)
Ako ay lumipad sa kung saan naroroon ang mga mahal kong namayapa na rin.
(I flew to where my departed loved ones went)

3. May internet ba sa langit? (Is there internet in heaven?)
Aba wala no! (But there's none) Sa maniwala kayo o hindi, lagi akong nasa dating bahay ko, palakad lakad, pa-amoy-amoy, patulog-tulog, pero wala na akong rayuma at anumang sakit sa katawan kasi wala na akong katawan! (Whether you believe me or not, I am still in my old house, walking, sniffing, sleeping, but I do not have arthritis or any physical ailments because I am not physically present!)

4. Multo ka ba, Sumo? (Are you a ghost, Sumo?)
Aba oo! (Yes!) Kaya't huwag kayong masyadong makulit at baka halikan ko ang puwit ninyo! (So don't pester me or I will kiss your butt!)



Narito ako, bayan. Nag-ba-blog pa rin. At huwag na kayo masyadong mag-tatanong!
I am back, people, and still blogging. And please do not ask too many questions!


Boo! Huwag matakot sa patay. Matakot ka sa buhay!
Boo! Do not be afraid of the dead. Be afraid of the living!

Malayo ka man, babalik ka rin.
No matter how far you are, you will always come home.

Aba, parang OFW at sirang plaka, paulit-ulit ka rin babalik.
Oh, just like an OFW (Overseas Filipino Worker) or a broken record, you keep coming back.

Eh kung wala ka bang babalikan, babalik ka ba?
And if you do not have anybody to come home to, will you still go home?

Ang pag-ibig hindi hinahanap . . .
You do not look for love . . .



. . . aba kahit saan ka lumingon, gustuhin mo man o hindi, nariyan ang naghahanap ng pag-ibig! Ang tanong lang eh kung gusto mo bang mahanap!
. . . 'cause wherever you look, whether you like it or not, someone is looking for love! The question is do you want to be found?



Ako, nahanap ko na. Matagal na. . . sana mahanap mo rin . . .
Me, I found love already. Found it long ago . . . and I hope you find yours too . . .

Kapag dumilim ang mundo mo . . .
If your world turns dark . . .



. . . aba'y humimlay ka ng maayos.
. . . you rest peacefully.

At kung magpapa-alam ka, aba, pilitin mo ring bumalik ng matiwasay . . .
And if you say goodbye, you also try to return peacefully . . .

Aba, lamok lang ang natitigok no!
Hey, only mosquitoes die you know!
