Showers

Rivulets of water cascade slowly down your skin
When you slowly force your body onto mine
As my fingers trace every curve that is your own
And your eyes engulf mine with a hunger that I know

You burn under my caresses
While my restraint buckles from yours
The taste of your lips leaves aftershocks beyond the boundaries of time
And the sounds that echoed from those four walls now belongs to my insanity

This closeness is a welcome suffocation
The coldness of the morning is of no importance
We have been used to these temperatures of late
As you say, it serves as an excuse to share our warmth

And once again you take me in
Once again, we both begin
And reality is nothing more than the four corners of that room
And all that just matters is us two

For the moment

We clung together for the moment
Knowing someone better was out there
It was not acknowledged
It was never there

And the radio played those songs of ours
They veiled the desperation of it all
Dolphin's cried, sonnets were broken
Interlaced with getting no satisfaction

Daggers began floating above us
Hinting of things that would never be
Of torrents and consequence
She never left me and never will

The ambiguous one

You stare at me with those eyes of yours
Fuck you ambiguous one
Mix the signals like only you know how
It should have been over but look where we are now

Like the pull of a gravitational force so strong that each footstep buries my legs deep in the ground
And I still don't know
What of you then, when we end up locked in spaces wherein nothing but sight and touch shall be?
I will not hold back. I can never hold back.

That instant, a fraction of a second, and you will know
But I might never know. You might never know.
And that intersection may never occur again.

A Pinoy 6th Grader's Summary of 2001 Space Odyssey (In Filipino)

Pamagat: 2001 Space Odyssey
Patnugot: Arthur C. Clark
Mga Tauhan: Frank Poole, HAL 9000, David Bowman
Pinangyarihan: Spaceship Discovery

Isang alien civilization ang unang dumating sa mundo sa panahon wala pang kasaysayan at sa pamamagitan nito ay bumalangkas ang unang tao. Dumaan ang ilang siglo, ang tao ay nakagawa na ng mga koloya sa buwan at nakatuklas ng isang obelisk sa buwan. Isang misyon sa buwan na Japetus ng Jupiter ay ginawa, dahil naniniwala sila na ito ang pinagmulan ng obelisk na ang pangalan ay TMAI o Tycho Magnetic Anomaly-One. Ang tripulante ng spaceship Discovery ay binubuo ni HAL 9000, isang super-computer, Frank Poole, David Bowman at tatlo pang astronauts na in Hibernation. Ang utos ni HAL ay isaalang-alang ang tagumpay ng misyon sa ibabaw ng lahat na secretong utos na hindi alam ni Poole at Bowman na nagresulta sa pagkamatay ng mga astronauts. Si Poole lang ang naiwan na buhay, at pagkatapos niyang patayin ang computer na si HAL, siya ay nagpatuloy sa kanyang sarili sa Japetus. Dito, nakakita siya ng TMAII, kapareho sa natkulasan sa buwan. Dinala siya ng TMAII sa ibang dimensyon, kung asan nagbago ang kanyang anyo - halos enerhiya. Ito ay nagbigay sa kanya ng kaiibang kapangyarihan, na pagnilay-nilayin niya kung kailan at saan gagamitin.

I believe there was heavy usage of an English-to-Filipino dictionary in this one.
I seem to recall having Animal Farm and When Worlds Collide book reports in Filipino as well.
