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.
