A [Wish] Prayer For You

A [Wish]Prayer For You
by: Jesus Santos Guzman, Jr.

 

School is over
And everyone has a wish.
But, why should I wish
When I can pray?
That way the answer
Is GOD'S to say.
I pray that you grow up
Not six feet tall,
But there in your top
So you won't think small.
A heart for good nature
Good thoughts for the soul,
Small people are giants
When their spirit is whole.

Slow Down

Slow Down
by: Jesus, Jr. Santos Guzman

 

No time for the children?

 

No time for the wife?

 

No time for yourself?

 

Brother, take time for reflection
for here we are lost in a jungle

 

of structures.

 

Demented by the sophistications

 

of life in the city.

 

Rushing the hours

 

for financial stability.

 

But, what have we really achieved?

 

This solitude amidst a rousing crowd

 

is the loneliness felt by the soul.

 

For deep in the crevice of being

 

is a beggar left untold.

 

So,

 

take each day a step,

 

savor each moment in depth,

 

for here we are missing everything

 

that life wants us all to feel.

Oblation Run - Butt naked and frontal nudity only in U.P.

Its not the anniversary of the Alpha Phi Omega, but the fratmen who ususally run every month of December did this time for the university's 100th foundation day.

Shortly before 11 this morning about 100 of the Alpha Phi Omega fratmen of the university dashed the short distance beween Vinzon's hall to Palma hall wearing only shirts and masks covering their faces which stopped a few minutes at reporters and photographers for photo ops. The naked run started in 1977 to promote the play " Hubad na Bayani" which is also served as a homage to their frat member who died in frat rumble.

More than a form of protest, the frontal nude running is more like a reminder to the UP students as a selfless offering of the Filipinos to their country. (Well, I could dare this brods that I could do it without the mask, luckily I belong to Lambda chap. But whatever, I may look silly at 44 but I still have the boyish features ;-) - Smiley 83A)

With the University of the Philippines 100th year, a preview of coffe table book 100 Nudes/100 Years: The Book, which compiles and highlights selected art pieces featured at the said exhibit. The centerspread is the "Nine Muses" of the much awarded alumnus scupture Napoleon Abueva.


100 Nudes/100 Years is on view until June 25. For more information, contact 920-6871, 920-6875 or 920-6868.
