Cu4tro Cantos

The Four Songs of Life

Cu4tro Cantos is the new Ala Eh Blog. Since I cannot provide pure Batangueño articles, I decided a revamp of the site, which I think is more appropriate. Cu4tro Cantos refers to the four members of the Cantos Family. In spanish, Cuatro means Four, and Cantos means Songs.

The Square Root of 3

Watching naughty movies doesn’t always makes you just laugh to some non-sense jokes or scenes. Sometimes it also makes you realize that being an imperfect “You” is actually perfect. Yes, no one is perfect. Because there’s always something missing in us that we need to find ourselves. Our perfect match. I was watching Harold and Kumar - Escape from Guantamano Bay last weekend and behind the natural jokes, I see a drama. Kumar willingly expressed his lamest feeling for a lovely girl by a poem.

I fear that I will always be
A lonely number like root 3

The 3 is all that’s good and right,
Why must my 3 keep out of sight
Beneath the vicious square root sign,
I wish instead I were a 9

For 9 could thwart this evil trick,
with just some quick arithmetic

I know I’ll never see the sun, as 1.7321
Such is my reality, a sad irrationality

When hark! What is this I see,
Another square root 3

Has quietly come waltzing by,
Together now we multiply
To form a number we prefer,
Rejoicing as an integer

We break free from our mortal bonds
With the wave of magic wands

Our square root signs become unglued
Your love for me has been renewed

Sweet?
