I Still Want You

-

What is it about the day that made you so grumpy?

You slammed the door, walked away, and stormed through the alley…

You stared out the window and sighed

Your fist formed and clenched on the side


This is one of those days when frustrations get the best of you

Even the clouds and wind seemed to be against you too

When nothing seemed to go as promised

And you are let down by your own wit and courage


Yes, there are days when the sun is not perfect

When the light is so bright even when you dim it

But these days are part of the life you’ve been given

And they bring out the worst that you have kept hidden


Don’t worry it is fine, there will always be days when we don’t like who we are

We turn into monsters and revisit our scars

Sometimes the wounds heal 

But will not change the way we feel


But it is part of who we are as we are beautifully flawed…

Sometimes we feel defeated but it is nothing to be ashamed of…

I’ve seen you cry, and hurl, and growl…

But I’ve seen you stand and rose above it all…


I recall myself staring at the mirror

Not knowing the person staring back at me in horror

She’s in rage but also afraid 

And tired of all the noise inside her head


But you were there, looking at me like a promise

You did not give up and believed I’ll snap out of it

You said it’s just a chapter of your story, 

Wait for the plot twist, you won’t be sorry


You started to notice my gaze locked on you

With sad eyes your turn, ashamed of what you put me through

You thought I’d run, but that’s not what I want to do

You may hate yourself right now, but I still want you

A REFLECTION PAPER ON METAPHYSICS

-
A single idea cannot encapsulate the way the world is…. What is the true reality? Can we find answer to the real sense of the world by finding the ultimate individual? Or is it in the external world apart from us that could be brought by our sensations and addressed by a supreme mind? Is it in the realization that we are in a continuous movement of time? Or is it in the thesis that what is true to us could actually be false? IIrwagen’s book presented some very intriguing points for someone who does not think like he does. I don’t think like he does. In fact, as I was reading his work, I was asking myself if there is actually a point of reading his book. His book, Metaphysics, talked about what ultimate reality is and if our world is actually the real world. So what then if the world we live in is not as real as most of the population deems it to be? Would it change the fact that our basic needs are food, water and shelter? Are we going to forego our ambition...

Why You Need to Take it Easy on Yourself?

-

How many times have you blamed yourself for things gone wrong? Plans going south? And goals remaining unmet? Often, you see yourself at a standstill, feeling like you are not getting anywhere in life. Yes, it is often disappointing to see how much you have given and yet you are still far off from your dreams. In fact, you will often feel that what you want are moving away from you, and perhaps, they are not meant for you. But these thoughts are just that, thoughts, they are not your reality, so get easy on yourself. What you feel is valid, but it is temporary: All of us feel that way sometimes, and it is important to recognize those feelings. However, we cannot dwell on them for long because if we do, we will fail to recognize all the good things that happened to us. We would miss the chance of enjoying our little victories. Although it does not feel good to see our plans shatter, remember that those are just hiccups. You can only stare at the broken glass for so long, b...

Be Optimistic

-
Often, it is difficult to be optimistic because of all the drama around you. Lalo na pag may mga taong gusto kang makitang malungkot. However, it is not impossible especially if you have something to look forward to. Here are some tips: 1. Always keep your goal in mind. Mas maganda kung may short term goal ka para mas nakakaexcite isipin. Halimbawa, nag-iipnon ka para sa bagong laptop. Dahil may pinag-iipunann ka, kakayanin mo kahit anong hirap ng trabaho . 2. This too shall pass. Natutunan ko to sa teacher ko nung college. Oo nga naman, kahit anong badtrip mo ngayon, lilipas din yan. Kung naiinis ka, tingnan mo na lang ang orasan. Tumatakbo ang oras di ba, ibig sabihin, kelangan mo itong sabayan. Do not dwell on negativity. Ok lang na maging negative for a while but you have to snap out of it right away or it will consume you . 3. Positivity attracts good vibes. Sabi nga nila, the mind is pwoerful. Kung ano iniisip mo, yun ang lumalapit sayo, so isip lang ng mga magagandang ba...
