Ever Wondered

Why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin?
Why women can't put on mascara with their mouth closed?
Why don't you ever see the headline "Psychic Wins Lottery"?
Why is "abbreviated" such a long word?
Why is it that doctors call what they do "practice"?
Why is it that to stop Windows 98, you have to click on "Start"?
Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor, and dishwashing liquid made with real lemons?
Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?
Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?
Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food?
When dog food is new and improved tasting, who tests it?
Why didn't Noah swat those two mosquitoes?
Why do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections?
You know that indestructible black box that is used on airplanes? Why don't they make the whole plane out of that stuff?
Why don't sheep shrink when it rains?
Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together?

If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?

If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the terminal?

Paano Kung . . .

Mamamatay ka na ngayon
Nakahanda ka ba?

Kung ang puso’y sumambulat
At ang mga piraso’y humalo
Sa mga bubog ng salaming
Mababasag dahil sa pagbangga,
Ng bus na iyong sinasakyan
Sa kasunod nitong trak.
Hindi ka ba manghihinayang?

Nasa loob ng pusong iyan
Ang damdaming pilit ikinukubli,
Ang mga katagang hindi pa nasasabi;
Mga salitang hindi ka sigurado
Kung dapat pang isiwalat.

Kung ang mukha ay maipit sa bakal na upuan,
Ang bibig ay hindi na maibubuka,
Nasa loob pa naman niyan ang dilang
Magpapahayag sana ng mga pangako.

Kung sa pagpupumilit mong tumayo
Ay maiwan ang kaliwang hitang madadaganan
Ng bigat ng sasakyang nabuwal,
Sayang . . . naguumalpas sa katawang iyan
Ang pagnanasang manatili sa kanyang tabi.

Iaasa mo na lamang ba sa sariling kaluluwa
Ang pagpaparamdam?
