Thank You Friend

I thought i was perfect,
That needed nobody.
And I didn't expect
For you to come my way.

You bring the light,
In my life that is so dark,
And I learned to fight,
Knowing your on my back.

Thank you friend
For being there,
And showing that this is not the end,
And life can be better

You taught me to be strong,
And to stand on my own
Even when things go wrong,
You've told me that I can go on.

You are really a treasure,
Worth keeping
My friend I'm sure
That you'll not be leaving.

Love at First Dance

It started with a dance,
Accompanied with your glance,
I was so nervous
Because my feelings are becoming obvious.

It feels like floating in the sky,
Every time you'll greet me "hi!"
With just one smile
I can walk a hundred mile.

My days are even brighter,
And my burdens became brighter,
Because of the comfort you give
The pain I felt was relieved

I hope that you'll accept my love,
That's as pure as a white dove,
I hope you'll not deceive
The love I want to give.

Letting Go..,

In our lives, change is constant
Love and weather changes.
Life dies and feelings fades, but we have to let go.
The Earth may be round but the horizon is clear,
To move on we must let go.

Things are found, things are lost.
We tend to worry that much to the things we value a lot.
But we forgot that those were never ours. only lend by the Lord our God.

Love was felt and now has fade
Our hearts was hurt and mind puzzled.
But we will move on
As we let go of things that bother our thoughts.

Life was made to be lived the right way
Though sometimes detour happens, but it still goes on.
Letting go means to go to the future
And leave the past.

A True Friend's Breeze

Sitting on the bench, with a wine glass softly gripped
I felt alone, and then my mind suddenly dripped
To a memory of a friend whom I knew
From a long time ago who was then in my life so new.

As I take a sip of the wine on my hand,
I suddenly felt the breeze of a friend who once held my hand
To shout out loud the feelings I have inside
And for my fear in life's hurdles to subside.

Her breeze seems to caress me in my lonely times
And lifted me up in my weary times.
She made these rhymes in my mind
As I try to reminisce a friend, who was one of a kind.

A true friend's breeze is unique
Bearing such characteristic.
Back then I was shattered, and she made me whole
And held my hand and pull me out the hole.

Despite Imperfections

"Don't judge a book by it's cover". This is the common quote we hear especially when we defend others imperfections. Just this afternoon in our R. E. class we were task to list the name of persons under the personality they belong. Everyone did that of course.

But to my surprise just when I thought I already know my self, I realized I do not really know my self.

"Some characteristics listed on the board are very impossible for me to have", I said to myself. But the flattering part is that those characteristics which I thought I don't have was possessed by me according to some of my classmates. There is this girl who hit the very soft part of my heart, basically because she described me as not a discriminating person which I thought is not true. But when she continued, I realized that though I'm not perfect I'm still considerate. And being described as humble, I am now challenged to live that life and be revered the right way. This situation did awaken me and instilled in me the thought that it's not because we carry ourselves and live our own life we know ourselves a hundred percent. There are some thing within us that we are not aware we have, this characteristics are only seen by the people around us and we may not be able to know that we possess those until they tell us. It was so flattering but challenging. By this I mean, that because of that event I am now summoned to be a better me. In other words, this served as an instrument to live my life the right way.

In conclusion, I can say that you're not out to please anybody but you'll be surprised when you will know that people feel blessed and fortunate because of your presence. Do not say that you are the worst person in the world, because despite imperfections, some people can appreciate the perfection you have and you do in your own pace. In other words, you can only know and measure yourself when people will give you the statistics and standards of measuring oneself.

Life after Death

Life after death may be a great question each of us asks. Well, a while ago in my HUM2 class I was enlightened with an idea given by our instructor. It was not a literal explanation but rather an analogy. By this I mean he compared death to sorrows, hopelessness and problems; he referred life to hope and happiness.

That idea eased the burdens that I am carrying because right now as I am trying to furnish this post I am preoccupied with certain things that bothers me. Life on earth is like the life of a phoenix, after having lived certain years of a healthy life he faces a challenge that weakens him, thus causing him to die. He turns into ash, but on a certain time he rises again carrying with him new strengths and new tactics to help him survive in this cruel world.

We all know that life is full of challenges. We can never avoid it, it is inevitable. The only option we have is to face it in an optimistic way in a sense that we consider some points that things does not always go our way. Sometimes we tend to feel hopeless when in fact hope is just around the corner. You know it is easier to give pieces of adbice as to how one should live life, but I myself needs one. But the only thing I do to make my life worthwhile is that I always pray to God for me to be enlightened in my daily struggles in life. Hopefully all of us should have the gift of peace of mind so we can make the world a better place to live. There is a speaker who once said that we must acquaint thyself with God. True indeed we would be nothing without God.

I know that problems may cause us to be weary but remember, there is no such thing as hopelessness it is only a notion. The truth is we are always endowed with hope all we have to do is live with that hope so that we can rise like a phoenix. Do the things we must and attain success. As it is said successful persons are those with bruised knees.

The Unforgettable Battle

If there's a date I can consider unforgettable that would be November 4, 2009. Due to the very tough challenge life has laid to me, and that is I WAS ROBBED.

I was walking alone in the streets of Polomolok after going to the internet cafe with some of my friends. I opted to roam around for a while because I know I will be bored if I will be home that early. Then, I met three guys whom I thought could be good friends. We were talking as if we knew each other. While we were talking, the other guy stood up and wrap his hands around my neck, I started to feel nervous, until they declared hold up. I was in shock. I could hardly utter any word, and it didn't occur to me that the event was real. I had not find the time to shout for help, for a certain weapon (that I could hardly identify) was being pointed to me. I got so scared that I felt like a puppet obeying each and every command they give. They took my cellphone, my USB flash drive and my wallet with two hundred pesos. I was really afraid, what if they will be taking the most precious thing that I have, my life. Luckily they didn't, well if they did I my have not posted this article. I still would like to thank God for that.

Despite the thing that had happen to me, I pity those people. Because they committed a crime and hold up me for a very low amount. I said to my self they're so pitiful. They made a sin not worth suffering. I do not wish them ill, but I pray that one day life will be able to teach them the lesson they must learn.
