Ok, hmm ulan agad ang sumalubong sa araw ko (Disyembre 4, 2012). Hindi ko rin naman malalaman na may bagyo kung 'di dahil sa mama ko. Gumising ako ng maaga dahil nga naman 07:00am ang pasok ko. Wow! Ang aga ko palang dumating sa unibersidad, wala pang tao.
Napansin ko naman ang paglakas ng ulan sa labas ng building. May malakas na hangin, malakas na ulan. Nagtaka din naman ako nang mapansin kong konti lang ang pumasok. Dito ko naramdaman na baka kinansela ang pasok.
Ilang sandali't dumating ang kaklase ko na basang-basa sa ulan. Naghintay kami. Naghintay kami sa wala. Naramdaman namin ang hagupit ni bagyong Pablo dito sa Davao kahit na signal #2 lamang ito. Syempre, hindi kami sanay kasi hindi rin naman dinadaanan ng bagyo ang Davao. Biruin mo, mahigit 40 years na pala mula noong huling nanalasa ang isang bagyo sa Davao.
Ilang oras din kaming naghintay bago opisyal na kinansela ang pasok sa unibersidad na pinapasukan ko. At nadatnan namin sa labas ang mga sanga ng kahoy na nahulog matapos ang malakas na hangin. Kahit na ganun', well, picture-picture muna. Minsan lang mangyari 'to. :)

Goodbye 16, Hello Dear 17
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you happy , birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday to you..."
September 23 -- a very important day for me. Yeah, you have heard it, the happy birthday song.
It's my birthday. Honestly, I've waited for it. I even made a countdown for that day. (Smiling)
Well, I'm really happy that day. We went to church and I'm grateful for that. It did rain (I thought of it as a blessing). I also received a lot of messages from my friends, those are essential and indispensable messages. Like what can anyone feel, I'm touched. I realized that I'm really special for them.
Seventeen years of being here on earth is quite a long time already. It is something that I really be thanking of to God. I enjoy living here with all the people that have been a part of me since the very beginning. If I will be given a chance to live longer like to 18 years, 19 years, 20 years, and so on..., then, I'd spend those years worth living. But for now, all I can say is that, "goodbye 16, hello dear 17, please be good to me..."

I Should Give My Best
I'm currently studying in a university here in Davao City. I can see all the adjustments. I can see all the efforts. I can't even avoid to compare college life from high school life. College life is more on being serious. You have to manage your time every now and then. You have to study well.
I really find it hard to adjust in college. Until now, I can say that I haven't adjusted yet. Maybe, I'm one of those who feel indifferent, confused and unprepared. Sometimes, I just found myself looking at a distant or even looking outside. Often times I'm silent. I find it hard to adjust with the subjects, too.
On the other hand, I know on the next months, I guess, I can already cope up with my new environment. Everything in college is of great importance because I know this is a step closer in pursuance to one's dreams and aspirations. I should take it SERIOUSLY. Yes, seriously and with heart. Four years is quite a long time for study. But since I'm already here, I should take the challenge. I should give my all.

Hope...
I hope that someday I can identify the names of the different rocks here on earth. At least, when I happen to look down the street, I can use that knowledge. Isa pa, malay mo, makakita pa ako ng barya... swerte ko naman 'pag ganyan ang mangyari. :)

The Silhouette
Here I am in a dungeon
For years I'm alone
All alone
I'm scared
I'm afraid
I'm anxious
Bothered in all aspects!
I don't know what to do!
Then, a continuous sound
Footsteps, sound ascending towards me
"Is there anyone here?"
Or shall I say
I'm just having an illusion?
Still, my heart is with joy
Knowing someone would help me.
But...the sound vanished
And as I glimpse
All I can see
Is a silhouette
A silhouette of a person
It's familiar!
I started to faint
And now my veins
Are filled with fright.

I WRITE
I write...
Not because I want to be somebody
But because I want to express myself.
I write...
Not because I have the freedom to write
But because writing is my voice.
I write...
Not because I like to write
But because I LOVE to write.
I write...
Simply because I WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT MYSELF.
A Haiku
The waiting is long
But the days are going on
So, we'll cheer again!

Acrostic
Only by love we are changed.
Receiving His Word, we're transformed.
And at present, our lives are worth having!
Christ is indeed an awesome God!
If temptations will come,
Only by "NO", we resist it.
Now our perfect union with God is at hand.

Prayer to the family...
Dearest Lord, we thank You for the gift of life and for the gift of our family. Thank You Lord for guiding each members as we go on with our lives. Thank You also Lord for giving us problems; for these problems are of big help in building a strong foundation of love within our home.
Lord, we ask for forgiveness, most especially, when we forget to do our tasks at home. Sorry Lord if we lack understanding upon the members of our family.
We ask You Lord to shed Your light of blessing unto us. Help us grow in love and of peace. Use us as an instrument to share Your love to each family. Your will be done, oh God, in whatever things that you want us to walk and live for.
Lord God, we are also praying for the rest of the families here in the Philippines and in the world-community. May Your loving presence kindle in the hearts of the many. Help those families who are experiencing calamities in their homes. May peace of mind and of heart be with them forever.
All these we ask through Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Another Chance, Another Hope
Strive...
And you shall make it.
Play fairly...
And you shall win the game.
Give your all...
And you'll be greater.
Believe...
And you'll make it happen.
PRAY...
And God will answer it.
Music
Music...
... makes me feel good when I'm sad.
... keeps me alive when I'm down.
... heals my wounded heart.
... empowers my soul when I'm weak.
... completes my day.
... cheers my heart whenever I hear its melody.
... reminds me of someone (or even persons).
... reminds me of my yesterday.
... lets me sing for joy, anxiety or for pain.
... is my BEST PAL.

One Step Forward
Soon
'Til how many years?
To how many tears
Will I be filled with fears
Standing here in my gears?
To shut my life with unfortunate smiles
Just like traveling a thousand miles
Waiting for someone is quite a while
And I hope that someday I'll be walking in that picturesque aisle.

My Concern
A Letter to the Mother Nature
You are
the pearl of the world
A silent
being without any word
Lying here
on earth, you are peace
Oh how you
remove my pain with ease!
You are
the world’s tomorrow
A treasure
that can never be borrowed
You are
God’s masterpiece,
Able to
envelop the person’s heart with peace.
Oh how we
owe you a lot
In being
so generous—without saying “what?!”
But now we
felt so sorry
From the
bad things that affect your glory.
Today, you
hardly cry
Because of
the strange decisions that we ought to try
It’s
really hard I know
‘cause it
cannot be denied as though.
In you, we
rely our future
Hoping to
recover those lost creature
If only we
can turn back time
To bring
your beauty again in rhyme.
Yes, you
are heaven on earth
As toyched
by God to sustain all beings
Thus, I
commit and say,
That ‘til
the last drop of my blood,
I’ll take
care of you without any delay.

Nutrition Month 2011
Gatas ni Nanay: Para sa Matibay na Pangangatawan
(This is my official entry for the poem composition contest
last July 2011 for the Nutrition Month Celebration in our school.)
Ang gatas
ni Nanay
Ang pulso
ng buhay
Sa mga
musmos nagpapalakas,
Sa “IQ
points” nagpapatalas.
Sapat na
nutrisyon ay matutugunan
Upang
maangkin ang maayos na pangangatawan
Nahuhubog
ang buong pagkatao
Katawa’y
sintibay ng kamao.
Iba’t
ibang sakit, sa paligid nagkalat
Masusustansyang
pagkain gawin nating kaakibat
Talas,
liksi, talino’t karunungan
Sa malusog
na tao’y natatanging katangian.
Yaman din
lamang na animo’y ginto ang gatas ni inay
Ito’y
gawin nating sa kalusuga’y tulay
Upang
katawa’y maging matibay, matatag
Hindi ba’t
ang kalusugang ating pinanghahawakan
Ay yamang
puno ng liwanag?

Kapangyarihan ng Salita
SALITA
(This acrostic poem was made
during our group activity when we were still in second year high school. My
groupmates were Karen Apple Tan, Noveah May Simbajon, Michelle Tura, Edgel
Diane Deiparine, and Dan Allen Sandoval.)
S-usi sa
kaayaayang pakikipag-usap
A-ngking
salita na nagbibigay kahalagahan sa ating pang-araw-araw na buhay
L-inawin ang
gustong ipahayag
I-padama
nang maayos ang saloobin
T-anglaw
tungo sa pagkakabuklod-buklod ng mga tao
A-ng paraan
sa pagkakaintindihan ng lahat.

Ang Heograpiya
(This poem was made by
Lea Oracion and Wendelyn Santander when they were still in their second year in
high school. It was a pair work for our Araling Panlipunan subject.)
Mahalagang mag-aral ng heograpiya
Animo’y Asiano’y malayang- malaya
Marami tayong matututunan
At mabubusog ang ating kaalaman.
Katangiang pisikal ating matutuklasan
Tayo’y natututo ng ibang karanasan
Ang mga tanong ay matutuldukan
Kapag mapa ay ating tiningnan.
Magagandang tanawin, tayo’y mabibihasa
Sa mga natatanging yaman ng ibang bansa
Ang ating pag-aaral sa mundo
Ating mapapagtanto.
Kaya ating pag-aralan,
Heograpiyang tanan
Ang lahat ng kaalaman
Na dapat na pag-igihan ninuman.

Hiram...
HIRAM
Wala ng mas gaganda pa sa kalikasan
Sa atin ito'y isang natatanging kayamanan
Binibigay lahat ng ating kailangan
Upang kaginhawaan sa buhay ay ating maranasan.
Ngunit sa isang iglap, kalikasa'y unti-unting nasisira
Mga puno sa kabundukan, halos wala ng natititra
Magagandang tanawin, bukas marahil ay 'di na makikita
Dahil napalitan na ng mga establisyimentong magagara.
Sunod-sunod na kalamidad, 'di na matatakasan
Galit ng kalikasan ay hindi na mapipigilan.
May magagawa pa kaya tayo upang ito ay masolusyunan?
May magagawa pa ba tayo upang maibalik ang ganda ng nakaraan?
Oo, tayo'y marami pang magagawa
Kung loob nati'y pursigido't nakahanda
Kahit simpleng paraan ay nagiging mahalaga
Upang sa hinaharap ay may masisilayan pa.
Huwag nating hintaying kalikasan sa ati'y tuluyang magdamdam
Gumawa ng paraan para sa kasaganaang inaasam
Hindi ba't matagal na nating alam
Na ang mundong ito ay sa mga anak natin hiniram?

What's Ahead of Me?
What's Ahead of Me?
It is in man's passion,
Who in turn wants to find for a problem's reason.
Take it or leave it,
It still a part of our lives beat.
I remembered everything from the past
Sort of a hurry, hoping a day to make it last.
Those memories are inculcated in my mind
Days of woe and happiness still bind.
Now, as I take my life
I wander towards all possibilities -- for good or for strife.
Because I know God set everything in order
Making us persons of worth and value-preacher.
What's ahead of me?
Can you tell me?
Can I glimpse a while,
Or take it a pile?
It is still in question mark!
And see how trials came and park.
Can I ask you a question?
Can you tell me your life's future position? (No one knows, right?)
