Pochoir, French for stencil, was a popular technique for creating multicolored art popular in the early part of the 20th century. See our vibrant examples from design, fashion, and garden publications, as well as a meticulously crafted new reproduction of the most famous pochoir artwork, an artist’s book by Sonia Delaunay.

Halika Na

Halika na sa umaga Lagi na lang tayong sa gabi nagkikita Hindi naman tayo bampira, well…. Medyo emotional vampire ka.

Pero ayos lang. Kasi mahal kita. Kasi Type O ako. Oo. Okay. O siya. O sige.

Heto ang puso ko. Na kayang mag donate ng oras Kapag wala siyang panahon para sa'yo. Na handang magbigay nang magbigay nang magbigay nang magbigay nang magbigay Dahil kung wala kang anemia, nagmahal ka bang talaga?

Isa pa ano bang alam niya sa anatomiya? Ni hindi niya nga alam nasaan ka sa puso niya. Tuwing nasa kanang bentrikulo ka, nangangaliwa siya. Samantalang handa akong diretsong dumaloy sa'yo.

Pupunan ko lahat ng pagkukulang niya. Sasalinan kita ng pag-ibig Na malapot Na mainit Na maginoo pero medyo bastos Na mapangunawa Na masaya Na mahiwaga Na nagbibigay lunas Na nagbibigay buhay Kahit sa tuwing gabi lang.

Pero minsan, gusto kong halikan mo rin ako sa ilalim ng araw. Yung mas nakadadarang pa sa init ng tanghaling tapat Hanggang litrong pawis naman ang tumagaktak sa akin at hindi luha Dahil maliwanag pa sa sinag ng araw na mahal kita.
