2. Surf the Internet.
3. Go out and eat with my family.

5. Watch T.V.

My Wife, My Bride (Distance’s Embrace II)

by on 04. Sep, 2007 in Literary, Personal, Work

(An excerpt from my literary work published for the high school orgran, The Clarion)

“The time I first saw you

Was the last time I found my heart.”

It felt like I was in the narrow valley of love

Striking arrows of Cupid wounded me

Blood of passion fell like rain

Coming from the hailing teary clouds.

The Day of Hearts came with bubbling sweetness

That I could never explain by words.

I came late to school for the first time

Just to have the flowers I want you to have.

One day, I felt the emptiness of your love.

It became shallow like a flying dragonfly.

You became in love with your past,

Totally, you turned back for him.

You only made me hope for your love:

Pinaasa mo lang ako.

You tore my heart into pieces.

You took all I could give you.

What wound you gave me.

Was this the exchange of my love?

What foolishness you did to me.

Was this all you wanted?

“You never loved me, right?

You never even care to defend your feelings for me.

You only made me hope

For a foolish love you would give.”

“You threw me in the ocean of loneliness.

You made me worthless of your love

You made me drown in the spirit of death.

You embraced me with thorns.”

Who should be blamed if a leaf falls from a tree?

Is it the wind which blew it away?

Or the tree that let it go?

Or is it the leaf itself which never held tight?

When will I hear the words “I LOVE YOU”

From those rosy lips so smooth?

When will I feel your true love

Which I’ve been longing to grasp?

I want to stay in your heart

I want to follow the lace of your love.

I am now leaving my hometown.

I am now leaving my Alma mater.

I know we’ll see each other in the future.

I want you to be my wife.

Feel my love, clutch my heart.

Else, Destiny will bring us back together.

Gemini

by on 04. Sep, 2007 in Brainbuster, Work

Benignity is the twin brother of malignity.

Haven’t you ever felt being glorious at the first place, suddenly, felt humiliating afterwards?

Several instances can bring all the angles of the saying not only inside the school premises but in the humanity, as well.

The usual occurrences are the achievements in life. I am not pulling down the mentality of other people that if people persevere much, they will then attain the equivalent or twice of the beginning’s degree as a success. The thing is that at every peak, there comes a downfall. Therefore, success in life is temporary; it’s not obtained forever.

Little do a number of students know that they possess power of judgment towards bearing the Gemini, of benevolence, that I present in this text.

Firstly, there are students who vie for high ranks who do everything to grasp such in the point that their fellow students are pulled down intentionally. Don’t they think that the meager in honor but rich in diligence and intellect deserve the glory over them? Couldn’t they stick in their minds that they themselves are not worthy for the title? Let’s say they don’t cheat during quizzes but forging the worthy is such a way of cheating. What about the diligent and intellectual? They receive their wage by heart without recognition and a false consequence turns the fake a legitimate. (more…)

Inferno

by on 01. Sep, 2007 in Brainbuster, Work

(This is article was rejected for The Clarion’s final issue. I wrote this when graduation was near in my alma mater, Chevalier School.)

How much has CS improved these few years? Hmmm, long gap before your answer? El Subersivo has already showed his observations, criticisms etc. He has undoubtedly figured out what most aware students see. Of course, we are NOT BLIND not to see the TRUTH, we are NOT DEAF not to HEAR the rumors, and we are NOT MUTE not to SPEAK and tell what we really want to.

I am really bothered because of the consistent topic of the meetings of the employees and the PTA. “Small Philippines” is just an outlet of a battered student suffering from chains of several people forbidding him to come out. It’s really all about Press Freedom. With that, I salute the one who wrote “SuPRESSed Freedom” which was rejected due to its libelous (does it really have libelous statements for it to be rejected?) statements defending “Small Philippines” and our freedom to write.
