A letter
De/Vision Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gumagawang mga tulang baka ay maka gulat
At dun sa dyaro baka bukas ulit ay ma ulat
Tsaka doon sa radyo baka nandun ulit pag mulat ko
Laging hinahabol yung mas malupit na ako
Siguradong na ngayon mas malupit ka na bro
Ngayon nilatag dito mga gusto kong sabihin
Walang iba na meaning damahin mo lang yung written
Pinatunayan kong mali ang lahat ng naysayer
At sabi sakin dati wala kang mararating
Exceeded all the expectations pare ang galeng
Noon ang sabi sakin hindi papayat
Oh ano kayo ngayon? lahat mukang gulat
Dati sabi sakin ay pariwara
Ngayon tagumpay ko lahat nahalata
Oh kamusta ka na, sana ka'y masaya
Wag mong pansinin ang sinasabi niya
Lagi ka lang focus sayong gagawenn
Balang araw yung para sayo ay darateng
Oh kamusta ka na, sana ka'y masaya
Wag mong pansinin ang sinasabi niya
Lagi ka lang focus sayong gagawenn
Balang araw yung para sayo ay darateng
Siong kamusta sarili ay alagaan
Sarili ay ingatan wag na wag na pa bayaan
Sinulat ko ngayon lagi mo tong alalahanin
Ikaw yung taong pinaka malupit para saken
Daming harang at problema mo ng dinaanan
Normal lang yan marami pang ibang matatapakan
Dapat mo to na harapin wag mo itong takasan
Sakit iyo lang damahin kasama yan sa laban mo
Kung sino ka na ngayon yaan ay di na ako
Basta tandaan na laging proud parin sayo to
Dati sabi damit lang magiiba
Pero yung utak at ugali rin pala
Dati kala ko ika'y nagiisa
Pero ako ay nandirito pa pala
Basta gawin mo lang kung san ka sasaya
At wag intindihin ang sinasabe niya
Oh kamusta ka na, sana ka'y masaya
Wag mong pansinin ang sinasabi niya
Lagi ka lang focus sayong gagawenn
Balang araw yung para sayo ay darateng
Oh kamusta ka na, sana ka'y masaya
Wag mong pansinin ang sinasabi niya
Lagi ka lang focus sayong gagawen
Balang araw yung para sayo ay darateng

Alas dos ngayon ako ay sumusulat
It's two o'clock now and I am writing
Gumagawang mga tulang baka ay maka gulat
Creating poems that might surprise
At dun sa dyaro baka bukas ulit ay ma ulat
And on the radio, it might be reported again tomorrow
Tsaka doon sa radyo baka nandun ulit pag mulat ko
And on the radio, it might be there again when I wake up
Laging hinahabol yung mas malupit na ako
Always chasing the even fiercer version of myself
Siguradong na ngayon mas malupit ka na bro
Surely now you're even fiercer, bro
Ngayon nilatag dito mga gusto kong sabihin
Now laying down here the things I want to say
Walang iba na meaning damahin mo lang yung written
No other meaning, just feel the written words
Dati sabi sakin hindi magiging player
Before, they told me I wouldn't become a player
Pinatunayan kong mali ang lahat ng naysayer
I proved all the naysayers wrong
At sabi sakin dati wala kang mararating
And they told me before that I wouldn't go anywhere
Exceeded all the expectations pare ang galeng
Exceeded all the expectations, bro, how amazing
Noon ang sabi sakin hindi papayat
Before, they told me I wouldn't lose weight
Oh ano kayo ngayon? lahat mukang gulat
Oh, what about you now? Everyone looks surprised
Dati sabi sakin ay pariwara
Before, they told me I was a lost cause
Ngayon tagumpay ko lahat nahalata
Now everyone noticed my success in everything
Oh kamusta ka na, sana ka'y masaya
Oh, how are you, I hope you're happy
Wag mong pansinin ang sinasabi niya
Don't mind what they're saying
Lagi ka lang focus sayong gagawenn
Always focus on what you're doing
Balang araw yung para sayo ay darateng
Someday what's meant for you will come
Siong kamusta sarili ay alagaan
So, how are you taking care of yourself
Sarili ay ingatan wag na wag na pa bayaan
Take care of yourself, never ever neglect yourself
Sinulat ko ngayon lagi mo tong alalahanin
I wrote it down so you'll always remember this
Ikaw yung taong pinaka malupit para saken
You're the person who's the fiercest for me
Daming harang at problema mo ng dinaanan
You've faced so many obstacles and problems
Normal lang yan marami pang ibang matatapakan
That's normal, there will be many more to step on
Dapat mo to na harapin wag mo itong takasan
You should face this, don't run away from it
Sakit iyo lang damahin kasama yan sa laban mo
Feel the pain, it's part of your battle
Kung sino ka na ngayon yaan ay di na ako
Whoever you are now, that's no longer me
Basta tandaan na laging proud parin sayo to
Just remember, I'm always proud of you
Dati sabi damit lang magiiba
Before, they said only clothes would change
Pero yung utak at ugali rin pala
But it turns out that mindset and attitude change too
Dati kala ko ika'y nagiisa
Before, I thought you were alone
Pero ako ay nandirito pa pala
But here I am still here
Basta gawin mo lang kung san ka sasaya
Just do what makes you happy
At wag intindihin ang sinasabe niya
And don't worry about what they're saying
Oh kamusta ka na, sana ka'y masaya
Oh, how are you, I hope you're happy
Wag mong pansinin ang sinasabi niya
Don't mind what they're saying
Lagi ka lang focus sayong gagawenn
Always focus on what you're doing
Balang araw yung para sayo ay darateng
Someday what's meant for you will come

The current charts are three labeled A-B-C with 5 rows of letters all the same size. What I want to know is what size are the letters on the chart? Are they for the minimum requirement of 20/40 or are they for 20/20? The California DMV has no email contact. Though I did find one they emailed back saying that they couldn't answer my question and gave a phone number to call. I called and got a recording saying the phone wait time was over an hour!! Then none of the options for calling met my type of question. Geeeze. They give the same number for all the DMV's in the state. No email...one phone number...overcrowded locations...something must be done about them;.

They still used it in CA 2 years ago
