Dahil sa iyo - Tadao Hayashi


Sa september may harang ulit aketch at tutugtugin ko ito para sa may ari ng kumpanyang pinagta-trabahuan ni mudrakels. Isa ito sa mga paborito kong kundiman songs. Sobrang nakakakurot sa puso ang melody at lyrics ng kantang ito.

Nakakatuwa din na isa ito sa mga paboritong tugtugin ng mga dayuhan… Maliban sa Anak ni Ka Freddy Aguilar. At may nakita ako sa youtube na tumutugtog ng kantang ito at malayong-malayo sa itsura niya na mukhang ang hilig ay pop music.    Yung bersyon nya nga lang eh madaming thrill at bali sa melody, pero ayos na rin.

At paborito nga pala ito nung may-ari ng kumpanya ni mama :)

A visual aid for memorizing Baybayin script [simplified] Mas madaling estilo para madaling maintindihan ang Baybayin. I hope mas madalian kayo para mas madaling kabisaduhin yung strokes. Actually medyo may similarities yung iba. Enjoy!

ObraRivera 20 ‘Agimat or bertud or anting-anting’Agimat or bertud or anting-anting, is a Filipino word for amulet or charm. Although stereotyped as a cross, a flat, round or triangular golden pendant accompanying a necklace or a necklace-like item, it is also depicted as an enchanted stone that came from the sky or from the heart of a banana tree at midnight (mutya). In relation to the latter, it is usually ingested. It is usually accompanied by a small book of magic incantations which must be read during Good Friday or a certain special date to attain the amulet’s full power and benefit. An agimat could also be in the form of a clothing with magic words inscribed on it, or even in the form of edible enchanted mud (in Tagalog, mud is putik). Other methods of obtaining an agimat is by getting the liquid that is drained from an exhumed body of an unbaptized child or aborted fetus or offering food and drinks to the spirits in a cemetery during midnight of Holy Wednesday or Holy Thursday. Most of the amulets bear Latin inscriptions into it, and most of the places these Agimat are sold near churches or on its courtyard or in the market near the church, like in Quiapo district in Manila. Filipino fighters also wore anting-anting to battle against the Spaniards and the Americans. Anting-anting is also a Filipino system of magic and sorcery with special use of the above mentioned talismans, amulets and charms. It is part of a wider South-East Asian tradition of tribal jewelry, as “gantung” in Indonesian/Malay means “hanging”, and “anting-anting” in Javanese means “ear pendant”. Earliest reports of anting-anting are from the records of Spanish priests in the early colonial period. Pardo de Tavera defines the anting-anting as “an amulet, of super natural power, that saves lives.” With the Christianization of the Philippines, anting-anting appropriated the forms of the new religion, and incorporated as well the esoteric symbolisms of Freemasonry. An Islamic version of anting-anting exists in the Southern Muslim islandsIn Filipino films, the wearer of the agimat gains superhuman strength, invisibility, heightened senses, self-healing and elemental powers. With it, the person can also be able to shoot or fire lightning via hands, or generate electricity throughout one’s body. The person can also perform telekinesis, stop a live bullet, can have premonitions, morphing abilities, camouflage abilities like a chameleon, can have extreme good luck, invincibility or miracle curative powers. In his Filipino films, the actor Ramon Revilla, Sr., as Nardong Putik, was depicted to have protection from bullets and slash wounds, provided he eats a certain special mud.Source
