Supahstar!!

Imman: gio, sabi ko english na tayo.. pero mag-Fifilipino ako ngayon...

Supernoba
ni Imman Santos

Ako ay isang bituin
at ang mundo ko
ay ang kalawakang
pinagbabatuhan ng lahat
ng aking ningning.

Sino nga ba ang makakapansin
gayong tala lang akong kislap
lamang sa paningin?

Ibubuhos ko na ang lahat
hanggang maging isang supernoba
na magsasabog ng liwanag
para punan ang kadiliman.

Isang kislap nanaman.
wala na.. wala na..

hm... cguro aayusin ko na lang nang konti itong tula na to.. medyo 2:30 na rin naman ng umaga eh no? hindi pa rin ako bangag. Salamat nga pala kay juno kung nababasa mo ito... I got the idea of using stars from your website. :P so ayon... sa mga hindi nakabasa nung site na yon, it has a more positive outlook on life. Even though stars are just tiny glimmers of light in space, there is still at least one person who sees your star. The star meaning you and the light meaning the impression you will leave on this earth (your life's work?). Sorry if I did not get it correctly pero ganun ung tama nung essay mo juno.. Hm... So have I done all I can, gio? Have I given my all in every endeavor or is it just another one of my mediocre performances? I want to be a supernova.. I want to give everything my best. I refuse to end up a black dwarf or a black hole. But a supernova whose blast of light will reach the end of the infinite... Even though it would just be a glimmer to some... Bawi na lang next time...


Gio: imman, i think you have done your best. let's see, since fourth year you have been doing your best. you've become a supernova in class by being the president and getting high grades. compared to you i think i am a lesser star. (hehe, pero supernova parin) so i think that we have have become supernovas before. it's just up to us to make others see our glimmer, even for just a little bit. we are supernovas who can last a lifetime without anyone ever seeing what we truly hold and are. pity them if that happens. don't worry, someone might just wander around the solar system where two great supernovas are resting. and maybe they will see the beauty we possess. until that time, shine on!

Imman: Thanks gyo! That last line really hit the spot.. I do'nt believe you're a lesser star. So stop fishing for compliments! hahaha.. So are we just going to wait for others to see our glimmer? No! Let's burst into super novas again! (is this even possible?) If this is impossible, then think of impossibility as nothing! Let's surpass our limits and let the world see even if they refuse to see. We need to be active instead of passive! We are young ateneans! let's show the world our potentials (sabay banat ng ateneo eh no?)... bwahhahahahaha....
