Forever

When the whole world turns out to leave me behind,

These people makes every effort just to make me realized how important is my existence.

When I was blinded by the thought of a fairy tale love story,

When I invest much of my time with a wrong person and ignore them most of the time.

They never make a distance just to leaved me all alone. 

They pull me back when I fall and shattered by the pain and made me realized my worth.

After I got devastated and down,

That even my wounded heart is struggling to be alive again

They never let me down.

Each day they give me a million of reasons to lived, laugh and to love again.

They are not just my friends. 

These people are my long lost siblings that God forgot to gave me. 

Nothing will last forever. 

But the true and everlasting love that I have from these people will last beyond forever...

Cheers for the stress!

Three cups of coffee for a sleepless night,

Tons of paper works scattered all around you

24 hours of computer works

The clock that warns us in every sound it makes;

“Time is running and deadlines are coming”

 

Exams, research paper, Internship, projects, and even your professors

What else can you ask for?

I want to outburst what’s circling on my mind.

I want to break free.

The moment of truth that cannot be outcast

That’s a part of the system that will never last.

Like a sunset that slowly hides down

And my eyes that easily fall down.

 

I want to feel the freedom again

Away from those chains of burdens that I never wanted to have.

For now sleep became a luxury in me.

That I wish to have but it could not be

 

How long will it be like this?

To be with the stress that wrecks me in.

Making me feel dumb and without a soul.

Working hard for a purpose

To pursue my goals.

Stress leads you to obscurity.

But it doesn't mean that you should give in.

Sometimes it gives you the frailty to think right.

Relax and breathe.

Stress was just a feeling that you don’t need to be worried with.

The more you think of it, the more it kills you down.

Learning how to handle it was just simple,

As learning your ABC

Enjoy. Patience. Learning

let’s cheer for the stress!

Just smile on it and let it be free!

C.Y.A

I remember this article that our professor in creative writing requires us to post in our group page to be read by our classmates and to post a comment for each one. It was a really nice experience that i will not forget. :) CYA 

I grew up to a non-speaking English family; my mother is an Ilonggo while my father is an Ilocano. The first word that I learned to read and write was only basic Tagalog words. When I held in my hands the first English story book that I had, I never thought of the language at all even the idea of the story. There is a lot of language that speaks by our mouth in over 196 nations in the world, I never imagined myself speaking other language more than this.
Is this language gives us the way for a better learning? Or takes us away from our native language? Well, many say that we should love our mother tongue than the second language that we acquired from foreign invaders. Time changes as well as our needs to communicate to others. In this modern age, fast growing society requires high quality of learning, experience and communication. We can make it. To learn English language doesn’t demands a high prize or a good university, just love and live with it. However, for those native speakers contradicting this idea, English will be our second language no matter what. The fluency and the grammatical skills does not influence to the real thing that at the very end we are still Filipinos. The reason for us to use this language was to be communicatively functional to our society.
Furthermore, as an English major it makes me of who I am. A student creatively bring outs a new character and expressing her thoughts. It gained the confidence that I have in facing the real life battlefield. Someone says that English was just a subject since daycare, elementary, high school and even in college. I was engaged and married with this language, it’s a lifetime relationship that must be cultivated and developed. When I asked myself of how I started to love this language. I compared it to the one who is in love, you suddenly dreamed of having it and now you’re living with it. I see myself with this language showing the best of me. It’s not that it opens a lot of opportunity in you but the passion that you have to it. 
I never imagined myself to be like this but anything can happen and it became a part of my living system that I shall continue to prosper.

Time to Read!!!

Thousands of books has been published every year. There are thousands of children all over the world who don't have their own piece of book because of the lack of sources especially in education. How many books do you have? Do you read at least one of them, or just a mini display on the corner of your room?

Reading is the easiest and natural way that everybody can do to sharpen our minds. Even our creative imaginations can be broaden into reading. Although there are millions of books released on the public, there are still who do not find time to read or they called reading as "boring". Behind those successful personalities that we've known, there will be always a book from which they get there wisdom. It's necessarily important to feed your mind with ideas and knowledge, not just with the skills and talents that you could do. In our fast-pacing generation, youth's interest was diverged in so many things particularly the social media. It's a realization that people's interest with the books was decreasing every year. Those students who lived in rural areas with lack of resources of materials, most importantly with the limited number of books, and how about you? You all have the access of reading materials in your shelf but you still remain to be lazy reader. 

I remembered a shared story from our professor that his grandmother always told him to read a lot. Because it will be hi chance to meet famous persons and to travel from different places anytime he wants. It will be all possible by just reading a book.
