LIFE TODAY /vol. 1/

I have been wondering lately why some people have already reached what they desired for in lives that easy, while others, with long full of prayers, faith and perseverance are getting piled up in between of success and failures. Unfair isn't it? That's what most of the people would think also. And for the longest of time, I have always found myself clinging to that absurdity. Why not? Think about the times you have to auditioned in a drama play carrying your wit and positive aura but after all you've gone through you were rejected because someone with a beautiful face and appeal suddenly appeared out of nowhere. With his "pa-cute" smile and audience impact, he got in instead of you. Or think about the times you have to walked for a long distance just to go to school while your classmate (who happened to be your neighbor) was always ahead of you because he has a car of his own. Think about the time you have your first crush but he doesn't even turn an inch when you're around but instead swooning over another girl. Think about your effort preparing a power point presentation for your report but got a B grade while your classmate got an A grade without doing anything. Think about someone who already graduated in college, 19 years of age while you, under certain circumstances have to graduate at the age of 23. Think about other's opportunity to travel the world, take selfies on the road, monuments and other historical sites and lay the world under his belt while you, got stuck in the afternoon traffic sipping your unwanted coffee and listening to some sort of music from such frequency. Think about how ideal other's worlds are, getting what they want in a snap of a finger, creating experiences and memories that have sustained their on-the-bucket adventures while you, oh you! Having to contain your nervousness on another job interview for additional information on your, "will-get-there-impressive resume" because without enough experience, the career you're trying to pursue will be laid in someone else's hand. Think about the times you want to go back to school for your masteral degree but you can't because you have to work full time for you are the bread winner of the family while others because of financial capability have the opportunity to nurture their minds that EASY, go back to school, finish their degree, pass the bar exam, be an attorney-at-law, get their retirement benefits and live full of happiness for a lifetime with historic success and written achievements. Think about your anger while you are writing related articles like this one and find yourself at the end of the rope struggling for your dreams but you have to wait (wait, WHAT?) for your BIG TURN!

WHY?

BECAUSE LIFE IS UNFAIR (PERIOD!)
There are thousands of reasons that you can write as to why the hell you're doing things the way you're not supposed to do while others are living the way they want to live. Well there are purposes as what other people will exactly going to say to you. But the hardest part is trying to convince yourself as to why that purposes are falling into negative note as much as your life is concern. There are many whys, however, the answers will remain the mysteries until you have to accept the fact that the world does not change you but instead you are changing your world. How will you going to change your world? First, ACCEPTANCE.

It's really hard to believe that somewhere along the way giving up is the only option for you. You can run away as much as possible because you're already tired of being a superhero. And then on your way to doing something good, you have stumbled and thought, "What am I doing? I don't want to end like Superman, Spider-man or Captain America. I'm not the superhero  you think I am!" A legitimate cry of a person who is absolutely on the verge of flying away, never ever to come back on this state of suffering and martyrdom. But if you will run away, how about the loved ones you have left? They only have you to keep going. See, the power is in you. And if you think that you're just a "Nobody" in this heterogeneous mixture of living souls, you have proved yourself wrong! Being someone's superhero is "somebody" you should be proud of and you can fly away freely, but like a boomerang, you are fated to come back again. And if you did, you have to accept that life isn't just about you. Sometimes it is better to be a planet revolving around the sun rather than the same planet who conditionally revolves around its own axis.

Accept the reality wholeheartedly and second, MATURITY.

You will never be the exact person as you are yesterday. Growth will be your shield against the painful suffering of the past and thinking that you're fated to something bad while others are destined to be the kings and queens of Wonderland, is a powerful sign of your immaturity. Condemn that act and move on. Don't compare lives for you are living with absolute reign of your own magical power. Maturity begins when you stop comparing over how well other lives are and how you are suffering at this exact moment. Remember that nothing is permanent in this world. The wheel of fortune is continuing to roll and you may never know that the right time for you will bound to happen tomorrow. Just hold on and be patient.

Choose to grow rather than be stuck on your own childishness and third, PERSEVERANCE.

Remain steadfast amidst of the trials that are continuously coming your way. It maybe hard to battle it all out but consider this one thing, the hardest battle was only given to the bravest soldier. Yes you are brave! Reading this will constantly remind you that no matter what negative situation you're into, as long as you're doing the best you can to get out, you will reach what you have been aiming for.

You just need to trust Him and lastly, BE PATIENT.

Whenever you're in doubt and troubled or you just feel so left out, call His name and pray. The answers are in His hands. It may not be the exact response you're expecting to receive but surely, He will give you more than that. Be patient and wait for your turn. God's time is indeed the most perfect time for you. But at some point you cannot deny the fact that waiting triggers something in you. And that is, giving up your dreams and stopping in the middle of the rope, nowhere to push but instead be taken down by gravity or fantasizing to be like other people whom lives are far better than yours, to be like them, to be them. Such ridiculous ways of thinking that needs to be eviscerated. Wait with patience and from it you can learn that the most unexpected and beautiful things will happen to those --- like you who seek wonders and pleasures in times of uncertainties.

Now, as I am clinging to this absurdity, can someone email me this very words and letters immediately? Because I badly needed this right now.

CAROUSEL'S CAROL

  ALPHABET SERIES /part 3/   Joyful tears cascaded down my cheek,     as the striking piece of memory pops like a gee.     The calendar was still ringing with mental traces,     while the history of my timeline presents. In this 6-cycle carousel, where laughter are dancing with the wind, where colts are running with a hard tail  of course hair, where old folks are turning like 7-year old kids. "  I tell you the past is a bucket of ashes." Carl Sandburg declared. " The future is purchased by the present." Samuel Johnson said. " When all else is lost, the future still remains." Christian Nestell Bovee cited. But for me, all would have treasured in the end.     Singing the lullaby of the ended days,     Pursuing to locked in the invented brains.     It maybe a child's game,     but happiness are all the same. ...

When The World Says It's Over

    "Maybe I'm just too numb to realize that cats will never be with rats forever." WINTER OF 2000     You are my safe haven.     Once, I dreamt of a beautiful castle just like in fairy tales guarded by hundreds of sentinel and served by thous ands of  maids and butlers. But now, I'd just dream of a home. Being a solitary creature, I enjoy every moment with myself, pleasuring the time left in my fabricated hour glass and making my own time machine for rewinding auspicious moments...      Until you came...     Every time I see you outside my porch, half-smiling with the gentle blow of the wind on your face, I realized that I am no longer a loner. That morning, you came with your enchanting militaristic posture. And I know, as you also knew that, that was the reason why my heart started beating with the rhythm th at's e xactly your own.     You h ave  entered to my so-called solitary...

Sa Isang Iglap : Pag-amin (PART 1)

Hindi ko namalayan na iniisip na pala kita. Akala ko naaalala ko lang 'yung mga bagay na nangyari sakin sa isang buong araw. Akala ko normal lamang na maglaro ka sa imahinasyon ko dahil bahagi ka ng labing-dalawang oras ko sa kalsada.  Nagtataka lang ako. 'Nung una, isang tipikal na araw lamang ang pagpasok sa opisina. Isang tipikal na oras lamang ang paghikab sa jeep ng dalawang oras. Isang tipikal na minuto lamang ang pagtambay sa cafeteria nang nag-iisa. Pero ngayon parang ang mga bahaging iyon ay hindi na mauulit kasi dumating ka. Nagtataka lang ako. Sanay akong mag-isa. Lahat ata ng bagay ginagawa ko ng walang tulong. Kumakain sa labas ng mag-isa, nagkakape sa labas ng mag-isa, bumibili ng libro mag-isa, tumatambay sa Happy Lemon ng mag-isa. Pero ngayon tinatanong ko sa sarili ko kung pwede ba kitang yayain minsan? Tambay naman tayo.  Nagtataka lang ako. Bago ka dumating, isa akong pribadong tao, misteryoso sa paningin ng iba. Lahat sinasarili ko,...
