BUHAY - LIFE

(Tagalog & English Quotes Collection Part One)

By: Bob Ong

"Kumain ka na ng siopao na may palamang pusa o maglakad sa bubog nang nakayapak, pero wag na wag kang susubok mag-drugs. Kung hindi mo kayang umiwas, humingi ka ng tulong sa mga magulang mo dahil alam nila kung saan ang mga murang supplier at hindi ka nila iisahan."

"You can eat steamed bun laced with cat meat or walk on glass shards barefooted, but don't ever try drugs. If you can't stay away from it, then ask your parents' help because they know where the cheap suppliers are and they will not fool you."


"Mangarap ka at abutin mo. Wag mong sisihin ang sira mong pamilya, palpak mong syota, pilay mong tuta, o mga lumilipad na ipis. Kung may pagkukulang sa'yo mga magulang mo, pwde kang manisi at maging rebelde. Tumigil ka sa pag-aaral, mag-asawa ka, mag-drugs ka, magpakulay ka ng buhok sa kili-kili. Sa banding huli, ikaw din ang biktima. Rebeldeng walang napatunayan at bait sa sarili."
Dream and try to reach it. Don't put the blame on your broken family, your failure of a fiancee, your disabled puppy or flying cockroaches. If there ever were lapses done to you by your parents, you can blame them and become a rebel. Stop going to school, marry, do drugs, dye your armpit hair. In the end, you become the victim. A rebel who proved nothing and has never been good to himself.




"Tuparin ang mga pangarap. Obligasyon mo yan sa sarili mo. Kung gusto mo mang kumain ng balde-baldeng lupa para malagay ka sa Guinness Book of World Records at maipagmalaki ng bansa natin, sige lang. Nosi balasi. wag mong pansinin ang sasabihin ng mga taong susubok humarang sa'yo. Kung hindi nagsumikap ang mga scientist noon, hindi pa rin tayo dapat nakatira sa jupiter ngayon. Pero hindi pa rin naman talaga tayo nakatira sa jupiter dahil nga hindi nagsumikap ang mga scientist noon. Kita mo yung moral lesson?"
Realize your aspirations. This is your obligation to yourself. If you need to devour buckets of soil so you can get into the Guinness Book of World Records and exalted by our country, do it. The f#@! with people who would just want to talk you out of it. If scientists of yore didn't persevere, we wouldn't be living in Jupiter now. Though, we still do not live in Jupiter because these scientists didn't really persevere during their time. Can you see the moral lesson? (Huh? what the...)


"Nalaman kong habang lumalaki ka, maraming beses kang madadapa. Bumangon ka man ulit o hindi, magpapatuloy ang buhay, iikot ang mundo, at mauubos ang oras."
I realized that while you are growing up, you fall down a lot of times. You either stand up again or not, life goes on, earth will continue to rotate and time will be spent.
