The Other Side of the Door

A glance into reality, eyes fondling for bare
A tap from darkness as it lurks, down and down, into the light
Even wisest of minds grab stiff arms till care
Wary, whilst, what dire plot plans to bite.

Hastened legs altered, back and forth, into a slit, a hole
Hope, oh, hope, let yourself fall merrily into bruised hands
As destiny seeks, as destiny collides, as destiny holds
Let the maiden of latter rejoice with an exchange of toll.

Slipped is her pride, brushed is her dignity
A drop of clattering metal awaits her every rising
For, in the slyly eyes, she beholds stupidity
A spark burns inside, drifting its kindling.

Gesture petite, warns of eternal slumber's awakening
Risen is her reaction, erect is her spirit
Flamboyant soul exasperates into social plundering
Dissolves into thin breeze, her essence into a fit.

Literary Blog

As you can see, I haven't been able to post anything for months. Blame my school works.

Since I can't publish posts with different topics all the time, I will be turning my blog into a literary one. :)

Dream Stream...

Every post that I publish, I usually do it as impromptu. That is because of the fact that I am getting tired of always planning everything I type since we have been receiving so many opportunities for hands-on activities like printed essays and the like.

While reading online news and updates on Yahoo!, I thought about being a travel writer (Dunno if the term is correct). For me, writing and making reviews are an enjoyable hobby. Its like building your own world on a sheet of paper. Now, that's amazing. Getting to places you never thought you would end up and publishing something about it is a dream job. I mean, just imagine, walking through world-renowned places while handling a pen and a notebook, it's like taking the picture and transfiguring it to words. That's ART.

Giving you a preview about my future life, I really want to be a pediatrician. I love kids. Choosing a more challenging medical field like surgery is like hanging on a needle every day at work. I can't look at blood for hours, even for 10 minutes, I would dash to the comfort room and barf. Becoming a doctor, you can expect a big income. I guess the 6+ years of studying is worth getting the benefits. Let's just stick to the saying"No Pain, No Gain".

A travel writer and a doctor seems quite impossible to attain at the same lifetime. First of all, a doctor needs to stay at a certain area while travel writers tend to explore everyday. But who says that we can't do both?! Travel writing can be a hobby and a job, as well. I think it is more enjoyable during long term vacations. Do you get to where I'm going at? Pediatrics is a profitable occupation. It can sustain someone's traveling time with lots to spare.

I published this to tell everybody that dreaming and hoping to achieve that dream is something that can affect one's future. It is like playing a round of chess. Thinking for the possible outcomes is crucial. But don't forget that what is happening now is the most significant. You can not live dreaming everyday. You should have the guts and the determination to achieve that goal and maybe something better.

A CHILLY EVENING EVERYONE! HAVE A GREAT WEEK!

A Bad Start for A New Year

For most of us, the New year signifies new life, new challenges, and the like. Everyone promises to correct whatever they have done wrong. Well, yeah, I think that is the main principle of the annual event. For a friend and I, we thought that the New Year would bring good luck to us, but guess what, irony strikes once again in our lives. I can't specify what we lost but it is kinda expensive.

We're trying to let it go now 'cause it's New Year for God's sake! Even though it is really hard to get over with it, I think being optimistic is the best way we can be for this year.

A Belated Happy New Year to everybody~!

Hustle and Bustle (Christmas Blog Entry for Computer II)

"But I still have one wish to make, a special one for you..."

For years, I have been making essays, poems, compositions, and illustrations about Christmas and sometimes, on how I celebrated it. Most of the time, I respond with the same answer: I have spent it the most joyfully as I can. You may want to ask why. The only answer that I will be giving is "Why not?". Every person has his own interpretation on what and how to celebrate Christmas, right? Christmas, for me, is just a reminder of the birth of Jesus. That is the main idea of the celebration. Many families, especially Filipinos, blend it with traditions and culture. For example, many families always have ham and quezo de bola every Christmas. I keep wondering if most of them actually like quezo de bola. These traditions were passed down from generation to generation. I guess Filipinos have a way to keep those traditions burning even if many problems partake in their lives. Well, it is not so surprising because of the fact that Filipinos are so hospitable and kind in many ways.

The expression, "You cannot find the true spirit of Christmas under a tree.", is absolutely true. Philippines is a developing country. Filipinos are becoming fast-paced by the minute. In these conditions, Filipinos still find time to celebrate traditionally. Including their day-time jobs, they still find time to attend and complete the Night Masses. This shows the Filipinos' undying faith. For the past months, I've been saving up for Christmas. I guess many of my friends did too. Gift-giving has been a "annual tradition" especially for high school students. We care less about what we would receive. We just receive it and thank the person wholeheartedly. The smallest gift can bring the biggest smile. We live on that saying. That is how I spent the whole Christmas season.

Christmas Gift Idea #3

This occurred to me on our own Christmas Party. BOOKS. Even though it seems pretty boring, but it is actually a really practical gift. How about giving out novels by Lynne Ewing or Lauren Kate? Or, maybe a "For Dummies" book would suffice for someone's hobby? Many book stores sell very affordable selections. I love shopping for books on National Bookstores, Powerbooks, and Booksales.

Christmas Gift Idea #2

The dawn of the popularity of stuffed toys is slowly fading because people these days ought to have something that they can actually bring anywhere, anytime, anyplace. So I suggest KEY CHAINS. Portable, occupies little space, plus, very affordable! Another advantage of buying key chains is that it is available in millions of stores and with billions of designs. Nevertheless, you can always customize your own design to add thoughtfulness. Not only does it adds character to your stuffs, but it can also fit your hobbies or simple likes. It is also available in pairs!
