The Canberra moon festival 2018

Hi my name is Johnny brown and we had just seen a great performance on stage with a lady who does great things with a hoop and I can tell you watching it from here was absolutely amazing and I can tell you, dudes it was fantastic
And now Lucy sugerman is about to perform for us and mate, it is going to be so radical dudes, and there is going to be a great parade at 3-00 and yes it is going to be cool, and you can make lanterns as well, well that is going to be cool for everyone and now here’s Lucy with her music
Johnny’. Wasn’t Lucy fantastic
I really liked the songs she sang
And some songs that really struck our hearts, she is a fantastically talented girl and I especially liked when she sang candle in the wind, in which she sang when she was doing her live shows and it sounded really beautiful, she will be judging the talent show here at the moon festival tomorrow and rob jarrah is coming out to sing his great single called fire in me and I can guarantee he will blow everyone away with his great voice
And yes, he did blow the crowd away and now we have the ANU
K-pop club doing their dance moves for us, and boy are they the fittest individuals you have ever seen and yes, well they are displaying all the right moves
Getting into the party spirit here at the Canberra moon festival this is really cool, dudes and dudettes don’t you think and as they swing their hips and thighs
You just sit back and enjoy the music they dance to, this is really cool, hey
Yeah the ANU k pop club was really good to watch and mate
I really was tapping my foot to some of the best dance music around and they make dancing to it, so easy and well we have only 1 hour and 10 minutes from the great parade, and I think it will be cool and coming on the stage now looks like a variety of different instruments and I wonder what music they’ll play
Well, we just have to wait and see, I will try to catch the groups name, I am sure they will blow us away I just found out that the next act is the ANU Chinese classical music ensemble and I think they will be showing some great sounds for us
Yes, I thought the ANU Chinese classical music ensemble was excellent and very very cool and now as they leave the stage and the next group is the belly dancing group called bellyup
And we will see them wriggle their bellies to great Chinese music and they are cool, let’s get apart of it, well it is easy just tap your foot
Those were great belly dancers weren’t they and mate I will wanna join them on stage and yes they will blow us away and now here is a song from two students from mulwaree high school in Goulburn and mate the harmonies which are coming out of their mouths are really cool dudes
They were great and now it is the kids turn with the Australiasian school of contemplirary Chinese and these kids have a great deal of talent, they are letting their little voices become the better of all of them, and their music are radical dude and as they leave the stage, the next group are playing the beautiful sound of the flute and yes it sounds really cool, yes let’s get ready for a party dude
The flute sounded so great and the kids were very cool, even if I must say so myself and the parade starts soon starting with the dragon dance
And wasn’t that a fantastic dragon dance, they used a lot of force to shake it up, and I liked that a lot and there is a fantastic jiving dancing bunny dancing around and he surely was showing off the right dance moves, and VIP is over and we aren’t very long away the big party, the music is going to so radical dude and mate, if any of you have seen my Facebook page you will see the jiving bunny as well as the dancing dragon, it was really cool
And now we are sitting here listening to this great band rehearse and get the sound right for their performance tonight, this is going to be a great evening at epic and as the venue is the true part of the atmosphere (epic) and they have moved the VIP seating so people who feel like it could come in and party this evening and this is going to be a cool evening dudes right through to 10-00 pm tonight LET’S PARTY
As we are waiting for more performances here is a Canberra moon festival poem
We are a cheering
For the people on the stage
As well as the dragon dance
That is pretty cool
And the people on the rides
Yes they are having fun
And smooth ops rehearsing all
Their music oh yeah that is cool
Yes we are getting with it
Every single day
Party from start party from finish yeah that makes me radical dude
There are also talks on stage
From different but interesting people
Oh yeah and let’s not forget
The jiving bunny yeah he is pretty cool
And the pony and horse rides
Yes the kids love that lots
They go for a ride through the
Amusements yeah that is pretty ace
Ace ace we’re from space
And we party from the start
Till we do a ****
To prove this will be the best

And now we are watching a video on the Asian language
And yes they are telling you about how important it is to learn
Yes, this is going to be one hell of a party, don’t ya think
It was a really cool martial arts display and I thought it was pretty cool, kids and teenagers kicking each other around
And yes, it is pretty radical
The way they break the piece of wood, yeah that is really radical dude and they are going to have more belly dancing soon and yes mate I am looking forward to seeing what that is about
The belly dancing had started and some of the younger folk are coming up to try their hands on a bit of belly dancing and we are seeing everyone even the organisers or volunteers doing a bit of belly dancing it looks like people are going back to the 70s with their belly dancing skills how cool is this and some kids are learning the different styles of belly dancing and one kid made a frog lantern, pretty cool, the music is sounding great and his voice is starting to say I am a lovely lively singer
And I am cool too, yes rob jarrah
is cool and his voice is too die for and mate everyone is gathering in the area for the big party later on, mate rob has a great voice entertaining us till the main concert begins
Rob was great, his voice really expresses himself and now ANU Korean pop comes into the stage to perform some very interesting dance moves and mate they will get this party started for us tonight and they probably have been rehearsing for months to get this dance routine right, let’s get this party started
ANU k pop were ever so cool, as they move all parts of their bodies and they look ever so fit and now here is the Australian school of contempary Chinese again with some kids dancing for us and they look very fit as they are throwing their arms and how they are showing good movement yes, they are cool
And then a guitar solo and a vocalist come out to display their talents and I am sure they will be cool
I thought he sang nicely and now Micah absalum and Bryn wood and they sing for us a beautiful ballad and there is a lot of meaning in this song
And they sounded so radical as they sang it with so much meaning in it and now a ballet number which in her movement she is expressing herself as a positive and compassionate person
We have been seeing more dancers who were really cool and now there is a great young pianist named grace gee and her voice is to die for, ballads are the sound for today but dance has been coming up a close second and grace gee is good on the guitar as well, pretty awesome stuff as she sings one of her own songs which sounds great
The lights went out when Wednesday moon was juggling to lit up rings and it looked really awesome and it lasted for 2 minutes, then they had some great dance routines as well as
Some belly dancers who really shaked their bellies right and then after that they had a belly dance dance off and the winner won $30 gift voucher and she had an absolute ball it was awesome and now it is smooth ops to keep the party rolling awesome dudes
And the party is great
Smooth ops are rolling hits from John Farnham Aretha Franklin
Rip and ac/dc and abba and a bit of uptown funk you up and keeping the party rolling with a bit of the Jackson five and Tina turner’s nut bush city limits and mate this band smooth ops a fucken awesome and they are radical as well and I am well into the party spirit dancing away to these great songs, I hope the second half is just as awesome dudes and a few other oldies as well and then smooth ops came back on the stage and blew the crowd away with great music like it’s raining men and madonna’s cherish and like a prayer and a few of the hip songs that are hitting the charts now and then they played Kylie’s spinning around and thendomino and I will survive and living on a prayer which was the finish of it, it all was pretty radical dude and I can just say
With all this music and fun we had tonight, everybody was in a party mood, there were a man dancing as well as his son yeah that was so cool and now we will say party party party
Till the very end bit
ESP May 2015
Hindi ako marunong tumula

Hindi ako marunong tumula
Kahit tinuruan ako ng **** ko sa wika
Ng tamang pagsulat
Ng may tamang sukat
Ng may tamang sukat ng salita
Ng may tamang salita

Hindi ako marunong tumula
Dahil iniwasan kong gumawa ng isa
Dahil ayoko ng konbensyunal
Dahil ayoko ng sukat-sukat
Dahil ayoko ng bilang-bilang
Dahil ayokong nahihirapan
Kung paano ko ipapahayag ang sarili ko

Hindi ako marunong tumula
Dahil alam kong ang mga makata lamang
Ang may kakayanang makapagsulat
Silang mga nakapag-aral ng wika
Silang mga matagal nang nagsusulat
Silang walang sawang nagsusulat ng mga salitang
Kasing bango ng mga bulaklak
Kasing tingkad ng langit
Kasing linaw ng mga tubig sa dagat
Kasing sarap ng paglanghap ng sariwang hangin

Hindi ako marunong tumula
Kahit naririnig ko sa radyo
Ang mga kantang binibigkas
Ng mabibilis na mga bibig
Ng mga magagaling na mang-aawit ng tula

Hindi ko inibig ang tumula
Dahil alam ko sa aking sarili
Na marunong lang akong magsulat ng kung anu-anong kwento sa buhay
Mga kwentong binibigyan ko ng buhay
Na akala ko sa isip ko lang maninirahan

Ngunit dumating ang araw
Natulala sa isang bagong kwaderno
Blangkong kwaderno
Ni hindi ko alam
Kung ano ang isusulat
Walang maisip ni isa
Maliban sa isa
Ikaw
Ikaw lang ang laman ng isip ko

Nakapaglakbay patungo sa unang pahina
Ang salitang aking hinahanap
Hanggang sa nagtawag siya ng mga kasama
Ng ka-tropa
Ng ka-barangay
Sunod-sunod silang nagsisidatingan

Ikaw lang ang laman ng isip ko
Ikaw na lagi kong kasa-kasama
Ikaw na lagi kong gustong kasama
Ikaw lang
Pero sunod-sunod ang salitang naisulat ko
At nagulat ang nanlalabong mata ko
Tula na pala ang naisulat ko

At nagsulat ako
Nang nagsulat tungkol sa mga ngiti mo
Tungkol sa kung paano kita nagustuhan
Tungkol sa kung kelan lahat nagsimula lahat ng nararamdaman ko
Tungkol sa kung paano ko nilalabanan 'to
Tungkol sa pagkagusto na akala ko hindi dapat
Dahil magkaiba tayo ng gusto
Nagsulat ako nang nagsulat
Hanggang naisulat ko na pala
Na mahal kita

Hindi ako marunong tumula
Ayaw kong gumawa noon ng tula
Pero dahil sa'yo
Marunong na akong gumawa ng tula

Gumawa ako ng maraming tula
May maikli
May mahaba
May hindi tapos
May walang kwenta lang
Halos lahat ay patungkol sa iyo
Minsan sa buhay ko
Pero sa'yo lang umiikot ang buhay ko
Totoo

Ang sarap palang gumawa ng tula
Akala ko mahirap
Akala ko laging may batayan
Akala ko laging may sukat
Tulad ng itinuro sa akin ng **** ko sa wika
Pero hindi pala
May iba palang paraan
Basta't may emosyon kang nararamdaman
Mahalaga na may emosyon tulad ng
Malungkot kasi hindi kita nakasama
Mahalaga na may emosyon tulad ng
Masaya kahit na tinititigan lang kita nakikita ko na mangiyak-ngiyak ka na sa tawa
Mahalaga na may emosyon tulad ng
Pagkasawi kasi alam kong walang patutunguhan 'tong lahat

Katulad mo ako
Isinusulat mo kung anong nararamdaman mo
Ang nararamdaman **** hindi katulad ng nararamdaman ko
Ikaw na siyang nagmamahal ng taong
Hindi ka gusto
Katulad mo ako na
Nagsusulat ng laman ng puso mo

Kung pwedeng ako na lang na ang tinutukoy mo

Marunong akong gumawa ng tula
Ikaw ang may dahilan ng lahat
Nasabi ko na sa'yo lahat
Hindi pa pala lahat

Marunong akong gumawa ng tula
Pero hirap na hirap ako ngayon
Dahil wala na akong maramdaman
Wala na ang pinanghuhugutan
Wala na yatang dapat paglaanan
Wala na

Habang isinisulat ko ito
Wala akong emosyon
Walang emosyong nararamdaman
Sa'yo
Tapos na ata ako sa'yo
Wala na rin akong masulat para sa'yo
Pero marunong akong magsulat ng tula
Kaya
Maghahanap na lang ulit ako
Ng taong paglalaan ng mga salitang
Hindi makatotohanan sa pangdinig kapag isinambit
Hindi makatototohan habang binabasa ng mga mata
At hindi makatotohanang isinulat ng isang hamak na katulad ko
Maghahanap ako
Ng isang tulad mo

Mahaba-haba na ang aking naisulat
Napatunayan ko na atang marunong akong magsulat


Pero hindi ako marunong tumula.
