Haikus on Filipino Psyche

Manana Habit (Tagalog)
Oras na laan,
‘Wag mong pagaksayahan,
‘Wag pagsisihan

Procrastination
If time runs fast then
Get up and make things happen
Choice won’t be taken

Utang na Loob
Mabuting tanim,
Diyos na ang bahala
Sa aanihin

Sense of Gratitude
If you plant a seed,
God will reward your great deeds
You can take the lead

Amor Propio
Balat sibuyas
‘Pag nagpatuloy, ito’y
Nasirang landas

Oversensitivity
Sometimes we feel hard
But sometimes it’s a hazard
A negative sense

Ningas Kugon
Kung sa umpisa’y
Mahusay at wagi sa
Huli ay wala

Ningas Kugon (English)
A good beginning
Should be rewarded if it’s
Best done ‘til the end

Bahala Na
Diyos ay gabay
Tao ang aagapay
Sa gawang tunay
Fatalism
God is eternal
To guide man’s work ideal
It lies upon us

Hiya
Ang kahihiyan
Dapat pangalagaan
Ingatang lubos

Shame
It is more human
When keeping shame in our hands
Never be in vain

Pakikisama
Hindi masama
Saluhan ang ‘yong kapwa
Bigyang halaga

Getting Along With
Blending with is so good
It shows passion for others
With elating sense
