Heroes

Things change, but not people.

Season one of this show gave me goose bumps. Heroes was reminiscent of X-men, with lots less tights and 80’s hairdos and more humanity. It was this humanity that added layers into the fabric of what was expected to be just another supernatural-themed TV series. But as the show progressed into it’s later seasons, the quality had slowly shifted from something real-relatable, into something overly fantastical. When you dig a well, you’re supposed to stop when you get to the water. What heroes did, was it dug too deep trying desperately hard to keep it’s viewers who didn’t need keeping just yet. Heroes dug through the core and left the world, leaving all of us treading on an endless path.

Fortunately enough though, the opening line, which is incidentally taken from the series itself, holds true. The Heroes Universe changed for the worse, but at least, the people held steadfast through the drama and retained their lovability. I guess this is why they got to a respectable fourth season. The characterization of the different heroes and their own demons are what made the four seasons strong enough to make the show still something worth watching. Heroes, will be one of those series which will forever be considered as one of those “greats”.

 

I know this post on heroes is long overdue, but I recently bought the DVD of he 4th season, so yeah. Leave your comments.

Kangitngit

*** Kangitngit is Bisaya for darkness, but in this complex dialect it takes on various definitions with such vivid applications as to imagery. This poem of mine which is  a silly attempt at literature seeks to showcase the power of the word and the intricacies of the Bisaya language.

Samtang ginasubay nako kining dalan

Dalan nga ngitngit, dalan nga bala-an

Akong ginapangandoy nga magkita na ta

Maskin lang man sa kangitngit atong kalag mag-abot na

Sa kangingit gikawat akong pahiyom

Sa ngalan sa sapi,sa diyot, sa ilimnon

Ug sa mabugnawong kilid ako gipasagdan

Kangitngit, kahadlok, akong nasudlan

Ug ikaw gahulat sa eskina sa may mangga

Para kanako, nga abi nimo muabot pa

Ug karon akong subayon kining dalana

Padulong kanimo, maskin dili man ta magkita

Dawata akong gugma, kasing-kasing og pagkatawo

Sa kangitngit man lang pasaylo-a ko intawon

Samtang akong pagasubayn kining dalana

Hinaot atong kasingksaing mag-abot na.

TRANSLATION:

As I follow this road,

This dark and holy road,

I yearn that we finally meet.

Even in this nothingness our souls would finally meet.

My smile was stolen in the darkness.

In the name of money, of having, of liquor.

And in that cold damp corner I was left to wait.

Death, fear was what I have entered.

And you wait there at the curb, by the mango tree,

For me, whom you thought was still coming.

And now, I follow this path

To you, even though we shall never meet.

Receive my love, my heart, my soul.

Even just in the end, forgive me please.

While I follow this path,

I hope that our hearts finally meet.

Jars of Hearts by Christina Perri

I don't know why, but this song struck me as something relevant. I have been a victim of many who came to leave scars... to collect pieces of my broken heart.

pathetic, but true...

I love, love, love this version:
