WISIWIWB: What I see is what I will Believe

---

    Your reflection in the mirror is not what I see. I lack depth and dimension but I refuse to tell you that. I wanna see who you really are, but I don’t know how. I can’t manage to describe nor illustrate you because you don’t let me to.  You don’t want me to be displeased to what I will see. But for me, the real you is what I’d love to see. Despite your flaws, I want to express the love that you never thought you would feel. I see you as a beautiful creation of God and that’s how I am going to describe you now, an angel in disguise. It is because that’s what I see in the reflection that you are showing me. I can’t explain it through words before, but you made me realize that you’re a gift from above. What I see is that you are the angel of my life.

ATRONOMIES ft. YOU

 You told me before that you like the night skies                                         Like all your thoughts in thin air just       flies                                               You told me before how much you liked    galaxies

Lumaban, Lumalaban, at Lalaban

---

   Sa bawat paglaban, hindi mo maiiwasang tumigil. Alam mo na ang buhay ay parang sugal, tataya ka ng walang kasiguraduhan. Mahirap panindigan pero kung matapang ka, patuloy kang lalaban. Kapag pag kapit sa patalim na lang ang iyong sandata, hindi mo alam kung lalaban ka pa ba. 

      Minsan mo na rin bang natanong kung may Dyos ba talaga? Yung tipong magisa ka pero akala mo wala siya. Kada taya mo sa sugal umaasa ka na ikaw ay magiging swerte. Puro tayo salita pero hirap na hirap gumawa. Pagsubok nga lang ba talaga?  

 

---

OO, PAGSUBOK LAMANG LAHAT NG PAGHIHIRAP NA NARARARANASAN NATIN. TOTOONG NANDYAN ANG DYOS. SA BAWAT PAGTAYA MO SA SUGAL, AT PAGSUKONG GINAGAWA MO, SIYA ANG PUMAPALIT AT LUMALABAN PARA SA’YO. HINDI NIYA TAYO INIIWAN, TINUTURUAN NIYA TAYO. KAYA’T SA BAWAT SUGAL NA TINATAYAAN NATIN, HUWAG TAYONG SUSUKO AT PATULOY TAYONG LUMABAN.

Lumipas, Lumaki at Lumaban

---

Lumabas ako sa mundo

Sayang saya ang lola ko

“Ang aking bunso!”,

Sambit ng lola ko

 

Lumipas ang panahon

Lumaki at umahon

Lumaban sa kahapon

Akala’y buhay ay patapon

 

Hanggang sa paglaki ay iyong inalagaan

“Lola, bakit nakahiga ka sa higaan?”

Sabay iling kahit nahihirapan

Si lola ay pilit na lumalaban

---

PATAWAD, LOLA KO

---

 “Apo ko, tabihan mo ako sa aking pagtulog”, sambit ng lola ko. Subalit, ako ay tumanggi sa kadahilanang ako ay maraming ginagawa. Matagal ka ng nakaratay sa higaan ang aking lola. Pabalik balik siya sa ospital at pagguwi sa bahay, oxygen ang kaharap at kasama niya. Masakit sa paningin na makitang ikaw ay nahihirapan. Ngunit, ano pa nga ba ang magagawa ko? 

     Lumipas mga araw mas lalo kang nanghina. Kinabukasan ay kaarawan ko na, ngunit hindi ka pa rin magaling. Tumawag ang aking uncle mula sa Singapore, ang sabi mo “Anak umuwi ka na dito, dahil baka bukas wala na ako.”. Tinawanan namin ang lola ko kahit naiiyak na kami.

     Birthday ko na, ang lakas at sigla mo lola. Sabi mo sa akin, “Apo halika dito, kakantahan kita ng happy birthday!”. Lumapit ako ngunit luha ang nakita mo sa akin. Kumanta ang mga pinsan ko at ang sabi mo, “Thank you and welcome!”. Nakuha mo pa talagang magbiro kahit hirap na hirap ka na.

      Makalipas ang ilang araw, pahina ka na ng pahina. Lola anong nangyayari sa iyo? Akala ko ba, aantayin mo kami. Ako, si ate py at ate hazel na maging attorney. Ngunit bakit ganito? Tama na ang pagbibilin at pagsasabihing ika’y mawawala na. Ilang beses mo na naman kaming pinaiyak ngayon. Patawarin mo kami lola, ang sakit sakit kasi talaga.

       Hulyo ikaw-22. Walang pasok, nagising ako na naiyak ang nanay ko. “Wala na ang lola mo.”, sambit ng ina ko. Hindi ko manlang naabutan na ikaw ay buhay pa. Hindi ako nagpaalam sa iyo ng maayos. Hindi ko napagbigyan ang hiling mo sa akin. Patawarin mo ako, lola. Pangako, gagawin ko ang huling pabilin mo sa akin.

Hope is the essence of life.

---

   LIFE is unpredictable, hard and quite notorious at times. Things go out of hand and beyond of our control many times.

  Hope helps us keep the fight on and improves the chances of making our life better. It is very hard keeping up with the inner faith during the most critical times, but, those who never leave hope actually make it till the end. No doubt life is a solid war zone. Try to keep your eyes full of dreams. Hope keeps us telling that tomorrow will be better than this. Remember that our subconscious mind is the most powerful thing in this earth. With its help, you can make impossible things possible. A hope is unbreakable. Make your hope strong until it gives you the courage and inspiration to stick to your dreams.

—- I’m sharing this with you in the hope that today, as you take the next step in your life, you will learn the lessons I learned, lessons about hope, strength and the light within us that will not be extinguished. I also learned that when life sucks you under, you can kick against the bottom, break the surface and breathe again. If you feel like giving up now, try to give up tomorrow and when tomorrow comes, give up tomorrow. —-

Love that is Best to Last

Best experience, last moments together, and love that has waken me up. Would that things last? 

          It was that year, where everything started to change. We started as enemies, friends. close friends and ended up treating each other like a family. When we were grade seven, all of us are too immature that we didn’t want anyone goes beyond the limits we set. We also bully others while being bullied at the same time. All of us where in chaos when we had a group exclusive only for our batch. It was a mess. Funny how I could still remember it. When we were in eighth grade, it got messier. Like, there were so many issues that has been made up and everyone seems to hate each other so much. Both section in our batch were competing with each other, having real friends was impossible that time. Two mathematics were annoying but with technical writing subject, I knew we had fun. But, it was surprising how our sections cooperated with each other in Battle of the Christian Bands. That was the start of being friends with each other.We stepped into being a grade nine student. The quite stressful school year in our JHS life, right? We got into the world of research one and having two mathematics subject again made our year the messiest. Remember how we had double period of mathematics and trigonometry right after it? Because I still remember it and that was tragic. Everyone of us seems to be stressed instead of happy every friday. We also had issue of not being in English Day because our batch were called irresponsible. One of the worst school year.                                                      

         Lastly, the happiest yet saddest part of our JHS life. Tenth grade, senior year. We had so much stress yet very meaningful school year. To all the performance tasks we’ve had as a group, I thank you. It is because we had a great relationship together. We bond like a family due to tons of groupworks. We were together from Monday to Saturday even Sundays. Having research II and public speaking subject was really one of the most stressful ones. I know, we cried a lot of time because of that. But, being with all of you every single day of my life last school year, made it the happiest. The most memorable thing we’ve had before was our performance task in MAPEH and Public Speaking. The variety show, hiphop dance and speech—program!!! Hiphop dance was our performance tasks together, everyone cried after it. Little did we know that it was our last thing to do as a JHS. Macedonia, you’re really a family to me. I miss all of you. The dance, laugh, singing, show, program, speech, research, defense, mathematics struggles, weekdays to weekends meetings we’ve had together will forever be treasured. You guys made my JHS life a memorable one. When the saddest part happened, everyone cried. Completion Rites was like a funeral. Everyone hugged each other while crying. I miss the gaming time in our room. I miss the group review we’ve had together. I miss how every student in our section were willing to help us, the SSG officers. I miss the cooperation wherein everyone works in a group. I miss our chikahan and jamming together. I miss how we tease Mr. Susano. I miss everything. I miss how we all go to guidance office together. I miss you, Macedonia. Thank you for the memories, I miss you all.

   Year 2017 was full of happiness because I’ve reached some of my goals as a fan girl. Unexpectedly, I was able to fulfill my dreams. Year 2017 was happy indeed!

March 20, 2017 was the day I met Darren Espanto with my bestfriend, Irish. It was exciting and quite nerve wracking because that’s the first time that I am going to meet him. Little did I know that my friend, Gab talked to his mother. His mother is the manager of Robinson Place Dasmariñas that time so my bestfriend and I were able to enter the backstage. I hugged him so tight and I took pictures with him.

I was so fortunate to meet Kathryn Bernardo in July 03, 2017 because I had the chance to hug her and touch her soft and smooth hand. Before we got there, we spent too much money for us to enter the event but it was all worth it. I came there with my fan girling friends. I also met my online friends that time. Kathryn Bernardo was really nice and she smiles so brightly that I can’t even smile without crying.

   February 12, 2017 was the day I saw Francis Magundayao at my previous school, PCU-Dasmariñas. Ipaglaban Mo took videos of some scenes there so after shooting, I was able to took pictures with him. It was really unexpected because my friends and I were just walking around the oval but then, we saw the van the of abs-cbn. Little did we know that Francis was there. Luckily, he was so nice that he even stopped eating just to take pictures with us.

   My lucky year did not just end like that because I was invited by the producer of a movie to watch Kyline Alacantara’s shooting somewhere in Silang. I was also able to enter the tent where the artists stayed at. It is because my uncle was the producer of that movie. Francis Magundayao was also there. Kyline Alcantara even talked to me smiling. She grabbed my phone and said, “Picture tayo, tara!”. May 26, 2017 will never be forgotten. Year 2017 is my lucky year indeed.

Te Amo—I love you 😻

---

When I saw you, I was amazed

Your eyes is what I desired

Looking at you was not required

But after that, I feel like I died

 

We met and became close

My feelings for you arose

You are the one I chose

In this world I feel lost

 

I truly love you, you know it

Because there’s no sense on keeping it

As you love me the way I did

I feel the like the happiest woman indeed

---

I Trusted You

---

           In this world I’m fed up with, you are the only one who stayed. I never thought you’d be the one. The one who will never hesitate on helping me. I trusted you.

             At the time that I need you the most, I lost you. I had no idea where to  find you. I am really scared that time yet I trusted you.

             I hear cacophony on my head, screaming and asking for help. No one seems to see nor hear me. It feels like I do not exist. But, little did I know that you are there looking for me. I trusted you.

          I went through a lot of dejection, pain and woe. Can’t believe I survived because of you, but still you are hiding. I trusted you.

      Through all the memories we’ve had before, you are the one who made it the happiest. You gave me more than what I deserve. You are not just a man, you are also my love one. In the end, I still continue to trust you.

“Individuals can not forever remain in solitude” -Jose P. Laurel

We live in a world where we go through ups and downs.
We cry, laugh and even shout like a dolt. Isn’t it awful how
we make ourselves happy without really being one? – Sayornis

Destroyed Reputation: Music made it Alive!

                                    

             Behind her smile, she is crying. Behind her songs, it has sad meaning. Despite being open, she is doubting to trust. With these, her reputation was damaged. Popularity, money and friends. Will these things really last?

             Taylor Alison Swift is a very well-known singer around the world. Taylor Swift is an American singer-songwriter. One of the leading contemporary recording artists, she is known for narrative songs about her personal life, which have received widespread media coverage.

             She released feisty lead single, “Look What You Made Me Do,” a dance-pop song written by her with her co-writter Jack Antonoff who also produced her new music. It has vengeful lyrics like “I don’t like your little games, I don’t like your tilted stage, I don’t like you,” plus an effect that sounds as if she’s singing through a phone, the track seems to allude to her long, public feud with Kanye West. It was the result of what Kanye West did to her when he intentionally announced the wrong award for Taylor to make fun of her, in front of a lot of people.

                Taylor Swift knows that some people don’t like her, and she knows why. And she wants to be very clear that she doesn’t like them either, and that for the record, none of the bad things she’s done are actually her fault. It’s all stuff that someone else made her do. She had these so-called-friends that made her to what she is now. Including Katy Perry who had notably seemed to attack Swift with the lyrics of the song she made way back 2014. She felt betrayed with it.

              For being quiet and mature for a long time, Taylor Swift is back to fight and to change. She changed her song genre into something cool to make her enemies feel sorry for what they did to her. A feisty woman who was frail is now finally getting back to her place, fighting for her own reputation and killing all her enemies with her success.
