A Great Love

                        On Valentines Day, I was not with someone special, but I was with special ones that love and dear me. It was a very happy day. Full of Love indeed. While others celebrated their vowed relationships, we on the other hand, celebrated our friendship. It's actually very promising to see, that us, people from different cities and islands would get to know each other and really get to know each other. From the moment we set eyes on each and every one, in an instant, we clicked. And it was a remarkable feeling. Because even though we were far away from our loved ones and our family, rest assured that we are in a place where there are also people who love us. But of course, the day wouldn't be that perfect without the Lord, because HE is the GREATEST LOVE of all. HE is everyone's perfect date:)

                           I am happy that my V-day wasn't a big grief for being single. Valentines Day is the day of love-all kinds of love. Although, the love musn't stop there as the day ends, it will always continue. . .:))

The ME I came to know of. . .

                       The ME I am now, is really different from the ME I was back then . . and I'm proud of myself! This new adventure I am in, I hope I'll be able to conquer and succeed,:) (Fingers crossed)


I am : Me. Simply Me.

I think : of my past. My present. My future.

I know : that I am young and still have lots of steps to take to finally say "I know everything."

I want : to finally know what I want and hope I have the courage to go for it.

I have : a caring family, supporting friends and a loving God.

I wish : to see miracles, more and more each day.

I hate : people who have mood swings. I get affected every time with their bad mood.

I miss : my books. My precious books that I left back home because my dad said I won't concentrate on my studies anymore. He is correct by the way. When my darlings are here, goodbye education and hello fiction!;)

I fear :of being alone.

I hear : God's trumpet coming soon. . .!

I smell : the aroma of food! Yum!

I crave : my Dad's cooking. :( It's been a long time.

I search :for something I don't know. It feels like there is still something missing.

I wonder : what I'll be in the future! (excited!)

I regret : not being able to say sorry for the things I've done when I had the perfect moment to do so.

I love : God. My family. My friends. :)

I was not : hoping for Dumaguete but God's plan brought me here.And now I know why. :)

I am not : a person who usually gets mad.

I cry : when I can't hold my tears anymore.

I believe : I can fly! XD. .  Nothing is impossible!

I dance :  when there is an upbeat song and I'm with my friends.

I sing : inspirational songs!

I read : the Bible. And anything that I can get my hands on. I love to read. :')

I don't always : get mad. So if I do, then someone really did something bad.

I fight : when I know that it's worth fighting for.

I write : what I feel. Everything that I feel.

I win : when  I make a decision and my heart is at peace.

I lose : things, documents and notes. They always seem to be lost. (wonder why?) :')

I never : tell anyone I'm angry. I just keep it to myself and pray that I'd let go of my anger soon.

I always :smile. I'm usually a happy person. :)

I confuse : immigrant and emigrant. Even if I looked up the meaning several times, it still doesn't register. : D

I listen : to my heart. And do what it wills me to do.

I can usually be found : at school but recently I can be found at the Pylon office.

I am scared : that my friends and family would soon be a hindrance to doing what I love and to seeking God.

I need : God, my family and my friends.

I am happy : that I'm alive and blessed.

I wake up : amazed at how God will shower me with even more blessings.:)

I sleep : knowing that everything was alright, everything is alright and everything will be alright as long as I have my family at my back, my friends at my side, my dreams and aspirations in front of me and GOD on top. I sleep after a prayer and a sweet smile on my face . :')

Certainty AMIDST Uncertainty

            Have you ever heard of the word “unsure”? Have you ever tried to have second thoughts on something? Or have you ever experienced the fact that you are so in doubt that you’re stuck and dumbfounded? I have. Many times actually.

            Uncertainty is very common to us. But the mere fact that we are uncertain means that we are young. Still naïve of the things to be done that it leaves us to pause and think right through it. No matter how hard you try and no matter how stable you want something to be there’s always going to a weak spot, an Achilles Heel. And that weak spot can be toxic; it would poison all your stable points and make your whole foundation go crumbling down. Therefore, giving you doubts of your work. It’s a funny thing actually, how one contour of the building could affect the whole size and shape. How one brittle brick can make the whole wall go down. And how one single lie told could make all your truths be in the hot seat.

            Weakness leads to uncertainty. That’s the main point. People try their hardest to make everything perfect but if one single line is not straight they would think it would all be ruined. So how does a person live through it? With all the countless reasons for us to doubt everyone and everything, how does a person sleep calmly at night?

            Its faith my friends. Faith with a little touch of trust. Faith, that your strong spots would overcome your weak spots. Trust, that you made your stable points strong enough not to go down. Trust, in your abilities that one out-shaped contour would actually be a new unique thing that people would soon learn to love. Faith, that your brittle brick won’t let the whole wall be damaged. Faith and trust to that certain person who once told you a lie will never again do that. It’s simply faith and trust. Two values one must learn in order to live a life with no worries. It is within your faith and trust with yourself and with the Lord God that you would be able to live a happy life despite the obstacles. So you see, even when there are still topsy-turvy’s in your life you could have trust and faith that it would all be okay. Trust in God and trust in your abilities. Have faith in God and have faith in yourself. And let fate work its way to yours. That is for certain. 

A Stand and a Mark

            Loner. Have you ever grasped the definition of alone? I have. Many times actually. I know its not that hard to fit in. You just have to blend in and like what others seem to like. But in my case? Its hard. Why? Because I’m an alien. And yes, like any other definition you people have, I am an extra terrestrial being. I am an alien from outer space.

            I live in a world called Aerobia. And at Aerobia, your life would be nothing more than a puppet. A slave. Others were happy at Aerobia because everything was in order, but I wanted to be free. I wanted to explore the world, express my ideas and thoughts. So I left Aerobia. I left my family and friends, my world just to be heard. I made a deal to our high officials that if I can prove myself to be a worthier being at Earth, someone who could actually make a stand then they would consider me.

            They gave me 300 days to accomplish my task, and if I can’t then I would be banish from our world. I’m a high school teenager here who lives in a big house filled with lots of things except the concept of being “homey”.  I suggested my house to be the venue of the upcoming benefit concert of the special children.

            It was the 240^th day and so far I haven’t even begun yet. The concert was happening tonight. So I did my best to fix the house. And as evening came, the guests did too. I saw how everybody was fixated on the house, the decorations, the appliances, and the arrangements. That’s when I thought, they only came because they were curious about the mansion. Spineless humans! They only care about the packaging, the glorious gifts that they could have, they didn’t even thought about the special children who were going to sing. I sighed, and went to the director and told him that everything is set. You can start now.

            The melody was nice and serene, it magnified the whole room. And when the children sang, goose bumps went over my skin. I was so proud of them. They tried their hardest even if they are incapable. But while I was rejoiced of those children I saw how people were yawning , some were texting and some were slowly going to the exit doors. I didn’t mind it at first but when one child sang and was off the tone someone threw a tomato at him. After that, everybody was throwing anything at them. I ran towards the stage and told them to hide behind me. I was their shield. These pure little innocent ones. They tried to learn and train their hardest all for this show, and this is what they repay them. I was so angry that I shouted. I exhaled everything to them, every disappointment I felt, every anger that surged through my whole being. I was furious. Because of that, I became their enemy.

            They tortured my life and the life of the children. They did every inhumane thing possible. And my time is almost up. My mother told me to focus on myself But I couldn’t just leave them be. So I continued to protect them with every fiber of my being. I only had 3 days left. Our officials told me that they would spare me, that if I leave now, they would forgive me as if nothing else happened. But how could I? How could I leave those children? I can still stand from these abominations, but the children? They would forever be taunted by these traumatic events, and yet their still young, how will they be able to live?

            After I took my meal I visited the children and went back home. It was judgment day already. When the clock stroke 1 our high officials came and asked me. They offered me forgiveness. But I declined. I told them my reasons. And then something happened. They clapped. They smiled. I could see it in their eyes that they were so proud of me. I asked why, and they said I completed my mission. I made a stand.

            It was a stand of responsibility. A stand of compassion, love and care for some people that I did not know. It wasn’t a stand they were hoping for and neither did I. But I did made a mark they said. It was a mark to those children’s hearts. They will forever hold their past but even after those, they know that someone and something good will always happen. And at that time it was me. I was their light. They will hold those pains but they will also hold their gratitude towards me. And those children will grow with prosperity and success because of the example I made to them. I was ready to sacrifice everything just so those children won’t get hurt. And they were most proud of me for that.

            And as you can see, I didn’t went home just yet. I made sure that those children would be alright there. But I could still visit Aerobia. And as time passed by, I saw that I wasn’t my old self anymore. I wasn’t a loner. Because I had two families now. I wanted to change the world. But instead, I changed my life and the life of these children. And although it wasn’t exactly the world it was a step. And I knew that, I would forever made a mark to my world, my high officials, to those children even to those people were wicked , and to me.

THE END

Letter to Cupid: Answered.

It's February. Mostly known as Love Month. The month where the sweetest chocolates are made, the beautiful aroma of flowers are smelled and different shapes and shades of red hearts. It is as festive as Christmas and Halloween. It is as most prepared for as an Independence Day of a certain country.

The ones who are most excited for this month are those who are in a relationship. Those who found the other half of their hearts. Although it might be cliche but at this time they would might as well renew their promises of love and affection.

For those who are single. Well, this is not the month to worry  and be sad that you don't have a partner. This is the perfect time for us to see our whole population. To find out who are taken and who are not. This is the time for us to be hopeful.

Though I am still single I am hoping that with the following moments to come I would find my other half. And when that moment comes I'm counting on cupids arrow to struck as both. But in the meantime, I'd like to send cupid a letter. . .

Dear Cupid,

Whether I have met the man I’m meant to be with or not, I hope that you would take care of him and let him stay away from all temptations. And when the moment does come, I hope that you would give me the eyes to recognize him, the feeling to acknowledge the feelings I might feel, the wisdom to know the difference between love and infatuation. And last but not the least, for that certain moment I hope that you would create a perfect setting for the perfect time for us to meet at the perfect place for me to find my perfectly imperfect man.

Sincerely Yours,
Sweet Serendipity
