Nobody trips over mountains. It is the small pebble that causes you to stumble. Pass all the pebbles in your path and you will find see that you have crossed the mountain.

Angels in Diguise

I woke up this morning feeling kind of blue
and I stumbled out of bed
and dragged my feet across the room.
Right oustide my front door was a rose
and a note the said, "Somebody loves you"
Then a soft white feather fell from nowhere.

Out on the street it started to pour
and before I got soaking wet,
a total starnger ran to give me
the jasket off his back.

I turned around to thank him
but he waved me with a smlie
I could hardly believe my eyes.
He has a bright halo and wings to fly

Take a look at the ordinay
Don't need to look for paradise
You could be next to
an angel in disguise!

A Call

During my last year in elementary, I enthralled myself in my studies for one great goal, to be part of the top five honor list. I was able to achieve it and as fruits of my efforts, I was one of the lucky students in Assumption granted with an academic scholarship thus, alleviating my parent's burdens in sustaining me in this school. I thought this was only a blessing. Actually it is, but also a key in discovering my mission.

All of the scholars were summoned to attend the meeting just this thursday as an introduction of what Gawad Kalinga is. This was a way for us to understand further the invitation to be stewards of God's kingdom. I was able to meet Jason Gonzales for the second time; first was during the leadership training. I was once more inspired by his speech. He told us that being part of this mission is a manifestation of one's love for her country. From him I understood that nationalism can be shown through sevice to our fellow countyrmen.

I now see the other reason of being one of the lucky scholars. It's not just only being spared from the tuition fees but also using this blessing to cultivate the arid lives of those whom we ostracized, treated as outcasts and ignored. It is the way to bring forth happiness amid the sufferings and sorrowness of the least, the last and the lost. It is a form of bravery by stepping out from my comfort zones and reach out to others. It is a call for movement towards progress!

Who am I?????

If I will make a survey to my classmates regarding on their impressions about me, for sure majority will say that I am the kind of girl who drowns herself in her studies, less time for leisure and the serious type of person. Others say I'm introvert. Well, there totally wrong! I have a lot of friends and we even have a clique.

What you don't know about me is my insanity. Yes, my insanity. You won't believe me but, it's really true. Well, I don't blame you for not believing because actually you won't see me acting crazy in the classroom and if you ask me to do so, I will only refuse.

Insanity strikes me during my private time. I neither get my book in Biology and study nor read a novel. I simply face the mirror, stare for few seconds and then go crazy. I either sing in a high pitch tone that for sure will crush your ears into pieces like a molecule or act any kind of role. Vain and stupid it appears, yet its the amusing truth about me that defines my big difference from others. So, what's your opinion? Is this really a fact or a fiction?

Reconciliation

O, brethren
I am with penury of heart;
beguiled by power,
enslaved by materialism,
twined with selfishness and vengeance.
Fraught of ecstacy and pride.

My soul is ponderous.
A decade to uproot the weeds,
to awake from somnolence,
to incinerate the wickedness.

With your saber,
burn down the palisade.
Oust thy apathy.
Defy the lure of sapphire.

Cure thy abyss of shame,
Resile the goodness.
