Dear Nicky,
I am deeply amazed at how you delicately weave intricate words and turn them into masterpieces; how you turn into a stepping stone for other writers; how you balance school work and passion for literature; and how you become an inspiration, a candlelight to someone’s darkest nights even though you yourself is going through a lot of things like depression.
I may not know you...

A day well lived does not have to include anything more than celebrating this Divine world through simple breathing.

The Little Prince (Reflection 1)
Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.
Children and Grown-ups have different perspective about a lot of things— how something works, what really matters, and why do such actions. Sometimes, they never meet eye to eye because of the so called ‘Generation Gap’.
Maybe being a kid is...

The danger of the baobabs is so little understood…
In my day to day living, I have figured out my little baobab that I find hard uprooting, and that is my sharp tongue. Misunderstandings happen when i tend to be tactless with my words. My intention for telling those words are for their own good; someone’s got to toughen up and tell them the truth that hurts. My intentions are...

The Little Prince (Reflection 3)
One must require from each one the duty which each one can perform.
Not everyone is blessed with beauty, or brains, or both. Not everyone gets the same opportunity as we do. Moreover, no one has the right to manipulate other people for their own sake just because they can. We are all given rights and freedom and we have our own will to think and to decide.
When someone tells you what to do,...

The Little Prince (Reflection 4)
What is truly important?
To a conceited man, he himself is important. To a tippler, liquor is. To a businessman, money is the most essential. To a lamplighter, orders are very important and need not to violate. To a geographer, land masses are what’s important. But to me, everything is of great importance.
Importance is not when we value something so much that we tend to be oblivious of...

The Little Prince (Reflection 4) failed draft.
Businessman: “I own the stars because nobody else before me ever thought of owning them.”
A businessman loves money. Money is important to him. He knows how making money works that most people don’t know how. He is not that attached to money like most of us are that’s why he has the guts to risk it for business purposes. There might be some who are taking advantage...

The Little Prince (Reflection 5)
It is also lonely among men.
Being alone doesn’t necessarily mean that you are lonely, being alone means having no company. Wanting to have someone but having no one to accompany you despite the billions of people in this world is what’s lonely; the feeling that they can hear what you’re saying but they can’t understand;the moment that you found out that the one you...

The Little Prince (Reflection 6)
One only understands the things that one tames… Men have no more time to understand anything.
Whenever we meet someone new, we always assume what kind of people they are; “Maybe she’s that,” “Maybe he’s this,” and we settle for those first impressions and never get to know the real them and what could have been. But when one learns to befriend a...

Dear Eka,
Unang-una gusto kong malaman mo sobrang nahirapan akong pumili ng picture dahil sa sobrang pagka-vain mo. Tumingin ako sa Profile Pictures, Senior’s Grand Fete, Happy Christmas (2011), Wall Photos, 16th Birthday, at Bangag. Gusto ko nga sanang mag-edit ng picture mo para makita nila ang lahat ng weird faces na kaya mong gawin kaso hindi ako maalam gumawa ng collage kasi wala...

One question. One chance. One honest answer.
Before 2011 ends, you can ask me any ONE question and I’ll answer it truthfully, no catch. ONLY one question and do send to inbox.

The next thing I knew I was in a place other than my room, pitch black. I can’t see the walls of my room. I have no roof above me. There was nothing but darkness. Suddenly I heard someone shouting my name repetitiously. They are calling my name in a famished tone; the shadows. I tried to run. Run; ran as fast I could but I seem to be going nowhere. I cannot escape. The shadows are getting...

Just a thought...
In a short period of time, I forgot how to crave putting my emotions into words. I do not wrestle my mind to think of what to write next or what book to read next. In a short period of time, I lost my appetite for language, for literature.
I’m starting to think that I made the wrong choice of college courses. AB Literature? I could not even make a good book review or analyze how cleverly...

... that you can let yourself be happier.
Happiness is a choice, although often it might seem otherwise. And it starts small. Today do something that makes you feel happy, and tell your friends about it.

It’s time to let people know the real you. Be who you are, not who you think people want you to be. You are more beautiful on the inside than you realize, and you need to share that beauty with others. Be transparent, let your guard down, let people know the real you.

Dear Adrian,
Ilang taon ang nawala, nang dahil sa hiya. Kung hindi pa ko nagbirthday, hindi pa tayo magkakausap ulet.
It’s been exactly two months after my 16th birthday; two months after you posted that birthday greeting on my Facebook wall; two months after we’ve been exchanging long messages everyday; two months after I’ve found an inspiration again.
To be honest, you...
Call it old fashioned, but I still think it's cute...

IPARATING ITO KAY KRIS AQUINO
jamesfarro:
”Ngayon, yun namang party ay matagal nang naka-schedule yon. Siyempre, may mga masasamang nangyayari at may malungkot but then, life should go on. Hindi naman pwedeng huminto na lang ang buhay at magmukmok na lang tayo.”
This is what Kris Aquino told the nation Monday morning on her television program.
Bakit, Kris? Bakit?
When your mother died, every single Filipino stopped...

To lie or not to lie
This by far is the most adrenaline-rushing, guilt-tugging, mind-boggling, conscience-disturbing thing I have ever committed.
I am a fourth year high school graduating student. I cram and engage on too much co-curricular activities for the sake of awards. I study my ass out to get passing/ high grades on quizzes and exams and try as hard to be included in the over all honors, Top 10. I’ve...

No matter how patient or forgiving or kind you are, there will always come a time that you will get tired of life and its bullsh*ts.

Life won’t always go your way no matter how hard you try or even beg. It answers to nobody. It never compromises. And it goes on, even when you’re down.

I failed my Calculus Quiz on purpose.
Yep. I sure did. Why? Because I’m too irresponsible to study on my own or even ask the help of my classmates to teach me the lessons while I was absent for three-sick-days. I never heard any of his lecture. I’m too lazy to study. Voila! I don’t know how to answer a 30-point-show-your-solution-quiz.
But all the while I was waiting for time to run out, something ran across my...
