He shouldn’t have to change to be a recipient of your love. Only ask him to be yours and be by his side as he changes. That’s the way to love and grow with him.

He’s far from the devil they’ve claimed that he is. They acted as Lucifer while demanding that he gives them heaven. Heaven was made for angels, it’s not a good home for those who resemble fallen ones.

anger is toxic and will lead you nowhere. it will only cheat you from your happiness. your kindness. your sweetness. open the bottle and release of all the anger you have collected. free your heart from the rage. the fury. let go of the resentment. bitter does not look good on you. anger does not suit you

One day,      we’ll look back      and laugh at how insecure      and worried we were about life.       we’ll realize how       all the things we thought       were breaking us were only       helping lead us to a healed place.       on this day,      we will realize the       irony of life and will       understand how it       all does work out in the end.      and we will be sitting there,       blissfully thankful       for all the confusion and pain.             the end is beautiful.  I can't wait to see you there.

He can be difficult, There are times his words will be heavy with stubbornness, his tongue will be sharper than a new sword and attitude like a two-year-old. Aren’t we all difficult at times? Isn’t he human like everyone else?

He is He can sometimes be the thunder while life rains on you, don’t expect him to always be the calm. If you need to be certain about anything, It is that he will always be the rainbow and the sunshine after. I love you and your odd humor, KNC

You have to love the parts of him that aren’t easy to love and the parts of him that others and even himself have struggled to love.

He is the same as wine, without patience you will never see how better he gets with time.

To his past, I see you replay the worst scenes of his life over and over, trying to convince him that he is less than good. Listen to me, I will love him until you become a memory faded until your words are without sound and empty to his ears. I will love him until you no longer get the best of him, until you are nothing to him.

He refused to become a slave to the false opinions they uttered about him and trained his ears to be deaf to the false assumptions and accusations they spread. That’s what makes him powerful, nothing irrelevant can lure his attention.

I'm going to tell you

I’m going to tell you that you’re handsome at 3am. I’m going to tell you that you’re handsome before coffee and after coffee and in between. I’m going to tell you that you’re handsome with messy hair and eyes half closed. I’m going to tell you that you’re handsome when you put on your black sweater or wear your slippers to the grocery store. I’m going to tell you that you’re handsome when you have headphones in and you’re not listening to a thing I say. I’m going to tell you that you’re handsome when you’re laughing or crying or when we’re arguing. I’m going to tell you that you’re handsome when you fail an expectation and when you think of metaphysical stuffs. I’m going to tell you that you’re handsome when you can’t find a way to get into your friend's house or want ice cream late at night. I’m going to tell you that you’re handsome when the sun ...

An Open call against Coron's Bikini Bottom

Can you hear it? The snoozy sound of sea waves as it gently drenching on to the sand, soothing isn't it? The scenery that will made you feel drowsy, the green views of mountains and its reflection with  blue tinted skies showed down the silent waters.  The nostalgic scent and cool breeze of the wind  touching your cheek chills off your stress and will surely give you comfort. The scenery is already perfect, the plants, the animal, each suits each other and formed a wonderful biodiversity. You're not dreaming, that really scenery exist, but sooner   or later, a nightmare will succumb such place , as the modern generation come to  take over everything,naturally. The jaw-dropping beauty of nature may be spotted everywhere, but the unique beauty of Coron, Palawan is a far too different thing. The sea, the mountain, the air were all so refreshing that not only Filipino locals got to fell in love with this, it also captured tourist's heart and attention. Truly t...

Negligence is not an excuse: An editorial on teenage pregnancy

Adolescent sexual and reproductive health (ASRH), or the lack thereof, is fast becoming the defining issue of this generation of young Filipinos. Without a robust response from all stakeholders, the Philippines is on track toward a full-blown, national teenage pregnancy crisis. Teenage pregnancy rates across the world have declined in the past two decades except in the Philippines, according to a new survey. According to the UN Population Fund (UNFPA), teenage pregnancy has a huge rate in the Philippines, especially among the poor. 2/3 of Filipinos, who give birth before age 20, belongs to the low class society. Data from the National Statistics Office showed that 8 percent among 1.7 million babies born in 2004 were born to mothers 15-19 years old. Young mother gave birth to 818,000 babies in 2000 alone. This means, almost one of every 10 babies is born to teenage mothers. The risk is, almost 10 percent of the born babies from young mothers are malnourished. As years passed by, the ...

Tips on winning a Debate

× So never ever state an opinion; Once you do that, bagsak na arguments niyo × Always have a credible basis on whatever you say × Rebuttals are key, but you shouldn't alwayd rebutt or else your side will just be as less credible × Always, always establish your argument on whoever is going to speak first, dont plunge to a rebutt immediately × Don't be too vague, don't generalize as much as possible × Never play it safe, whatever your side of the argument is you should only be thinking that you're right × Plan out what can counter your arguments. If there is something that can counter it strongly, don't mention it × Then plan your counters on the possible arguments the other side can establish × The point of the debate is to make your side sound convincing it's not about who's got the biggest mouths or best rebutts. Debate yan, hindi fliptop × And lastly, respeto; Let the person finish speaking Or if you're allowed to rebutt whil...

Danger: Media stupidity kills

Netizens are almost as always online—day or night,midnight or whatsoever time internet is available.We have our liberty when it comes to social media.We post,tweet or capture all that we think are relevant to our well-being.It's as if we can't live for a night not being online.Well,the problem now was the literacy that we have when it comes to media.Media literacy,I must say,was critical in our country as it worth a cavil.We can't be so stupid believing all the lies on the wide world web,we'll be doomed to humbug beliefs. Media Literacy in the Philippines really needs some formal attention as we tend to act ignorant  in a way that in a single hoax post,we're promptly giving our advertence without even asking ourselves where was the source of such certain post was.This is very foreboding as we seemed too foolish in responding to trolls' bait without any the benefit of the doubt in mind. Social media has no reservation,and it is the fact there is.If there were ...

Malinche by Lara Esquivel

The novel Malinche written by the Mexican novelist, screenwriter and politician Lara Esquivel talks about environmentalism and feminism as a whole. Esquivel was known advocate of those beliefs in their country since she's also a vocal feminist that was maybe her drive to write about Malinalli, commonly known as Malinche but before I write more about her, I want to take the opportunity to explain the theories enclosed in this novel. First theory observed was the feminism which was truly evident even at the first word of the book :Malinche. This novel circulates upon the life of a Painalan girl who has been vituperated for her treachery of the people of India. Esquivel proved in this novel the other way around, the good reason behind this act of Malinche as she has this greater role than what people thought her to be. She came out to have more complex character—a mediator of two alien cultures Native American and Hispanic, also with two different languages Spanish and Nahuatl. In...

Saya-ng

Paano ka ba nagiging masaya? Sa isang Lunes ba ng umaga na nakaupo ka sa silyang laan nang nauna? O naging masaya ka dahil sa gitna ng tensyon Nahagip mo ang kanyang atensyon? Mahilig na akong magbiro Katulad nang kung paano biruin ng buhay na to ang kinabukasan ko Nakakapagod na Wala nang ibang Sandalan maliban ang mga salitang di maisatinig dahil wala namang ibang nanghihina kundi Ikaw at iyong paniniwala Bukas na ko magsusulat Iiyak muna ako ngayon dahil di pwedeng sabay lumuha ang mata at ang pluma

Sip your coffee nice and slow

Sip your coffee, nice and slow, No one ever knows when it’s time to go, There’ll be no time to enjoy the glow, So sip your coffee nice and slow. Life is too short but feels pretty long, There’s too much to do, so much going wrong, And most of the time you struggle to be strong, Before it’s too late and it’s time to go, Sip your coffee nice and slow. Some friends stay, others go away, Loved ones are cherished, but not all will stay , Kids will grow up and fly away, There’s really no saying how things will go, So sip your coffee nice and slow. Before you know it seasons have changed, Those precious little moments are part of yesterday, Most things have turned out relatively okay, And you finally reap what you have sown, So sip your coffee nice and slow. In the end it’s really all about love, For this world and it’s beauty and the stars above, For His grace in your life , for each present moment, Smile and breathe and l...

Elements of a Novel: Veronika Decides to Die

Title : Veronika Decides to Die Author: Paulo Coelho de Souza is a Brazilian lyricist and novelist and the recipient of numerous international awards. He is best known for his widely translated novel The Alchemist. He was born in Brazil and attended a Jesuit school. As a teenager, Coelho wanted to become a writer. Upon telling his mother this, she responded, "My dear, your father is an engineer. He's a logical, reasonable man with a very clear vision of the world. Do you actually know what it means to be a writer?" At 17, Coelho's introversion and opposition to following a traditional path led to his parents committing him to a mental institution from which he escaped three times before being released at the age of 20. Born into a Catholic family, his parents were strict about the religion and faith.Coelho later remarked that "It wasn't that they wanted to hurt me, but they didn't know what to do... They did not do that to destroy me, they did that to s...

Funny.

To you watashi no ai, It's funny that after you left me last year, I am left hanged somewhere in the darkest forest I wish I've never been It's funny that I really waited for a year before talking to you again, to be with you and to understand you more, this time. It's funny that even though you're pushing me to leave before, I have still insisted to stay because... because I really love the hell out of you. It's funny that after a year, I showed up again and the word "again" united us for 7 more days It's funny that for 7 days I already have promised myself to live with you forever—to infinity, beyond the observable universe. It's funny that you're a whining woman inside a man's body— overwhelmed and always overreacting. It's funny that we're planning our future together but never thought that we'll only last a week It's funny that you just let me finished my 7-day novel quote letters before you wave goodbye a...

Conformity, Madness and Death by watashi no ai

Conformity. People conform to live peacefully within society. Peacefully as in to not have to deal with opposing views too much. People conform to make themselves feel as though they have purpose in life. They see others doing the same, they follow suit. It's either to live an easy life or its because it's the only thing they know. Thinking outside the box is too hard for them. Or they never had an imagination to. Madness. I don't know what madness is. Though I know that I am a madman. It's hard to classify madness because some people can just be having a bad day. While others, their life is just a living hell. And it may not even be because of outside forces. Sometimes the hell is within the person's mind with the way they think. The way other people perceive them and their thoughts in a negative manner despite the intentions being good. Madness in my definition is a state of never finding rest in their mind or their spirit. Death is something humans have made. D...
