An Open Letter to Students

My dear Students, I understand that you love variety shows, and you love entertainment, because I know how creative you are and I'm not against it. I know that some of you have the talent in photography, in editing, in acting as well as in dancing and singing, but being a masscom isn't just about talent and skills. It's also about knowledge. I know that right now, you are worried about your future; anxious about the possible careers you will have, but don't worry, you'll find a suitable job for you. Yet, in order to find a job, don't just rely on your talent. Don't just rely on your skills, although it has a factor on the job that you will take. Some jobs requires knowledge and wisdom, and sometimes, talents or skill isn't just enough. It needs to be a "COMBO". That's why I'm always trying to tell you that you should try to study and read a lot, because it can help you, while you also try to enhance your talent and your sk...

Cheat & Deceit

They are friends, And both has reputations. They came from heaven, And they provides haven. One of their good friend is Cupid, And an advantage they got. Both are playful and flirty, Breaking girls heart in a wink. Both meet death, And they try to trick her. Death is a fool, Believing in their lies. Death fell in love, And death no more. Both rejoice in victory, Yet they also meet their end. They are friends, And both has reputation. They came from heaven, Now, they reside in hell.                                             ~ dhahab 🌙

Our Big Bang Theory

Our story does not start in a fairytale. It does not involve singing and dancing, for I don't belong in a colorful world like yours. Yet, our worlds collide and it cause chaos in my world. In panic, I almost drowned, but you have saved me and I don't know what to do. I dried myself and walked away, hoping not to see you, for how would I still survive if you exist in my world that I cannot share. I choose the road where the grass isn't green for I know you won't go on the same path that I've chosen, but there you are walking in the same direction as me. You halted and waited in the middle of the road, while my mind find ways how to turn back. Why? I would like to ask you, but I have lost my voice in exchanged for this solace place that you are trying to conquer. What's with those smiles that isn't meant for me. Why wear it if you are reserving it for her? Then you take a step. A step that threatens my world. This is it, my world is already collapsin...

My E - M - E Open Letter

I have a degree in Broadcast Communication, and I came from a university wherein "utak ang puhunan", but even though I came from a well known state university, I ended up somewhere. I didn't make it to the broadcasting companies, perhaps I am not good enough. I had asked myself, am I a failure? So as if I didn't have any option, I chose to answer calls. I met people with different sad stories. I met people with different sexual preferences. I met people who became my family, but then I realized some things. I realized that I was almost wasting what I had acquired, but I didn't immediately passed my resignation letter. It took me nine months, before I did. Thanks to my professor, who enlightened me, and who helped me with my struggles, because I felt that I was lost. I took another turn in my life, and this road is also different. I'm still not in the place that I wanted to be, but I enjoyed it. Right now, I am in a place where you acquire knowledge a...

Don't

Image
Please, don't treat me like I'm just any other girl. I might be born as a princess, yet I'm not a damsel in distress. I am also a warrior who could fight the most bad ass battle, for I have my own strength and I wasn't raised to depend on other people. I can go to places I want, be happy and contented without relying  too much on other people. It's nice that you are there, but please don't treat me like I'm just everyone else.I just hope that you'll see that. Please don't ask me about my meals.Don't ask if I have taken my breakfast, my lunch or my supper, it will not help my diet at all, though I know you are concerned, but I'm not a kid, that needs to be fed on time. You are not an alarm either, that will ring once I hadn't taken my meals. There is another way to show your concern. Ask me how's my day. How did it go? For it showed that you are more interested on me than my meal. If you are going to strike a conversation, plea...

MYSTERY MONTHS

Image
In April they have met, Brought by a kismet. Within the four corners of the room, Friendship almost bloom. Awkward smiles they exchanged, Too afraid to get attached. In May they have met, Abrupt as a comet. They sneak glances, Yet scared like thieves. Silence they have shared, But thoughts are screaming aloud. In June things have changed, Laughter they have shared. Their paces are in rhythm, But momentum they sometimes lost. One gets confused, while the other seems so sure. In due time things will reveal, We just wait while feelings unveil. One might like the other, and the other might like another. Friendship may have grown, But relationship they might outgrown.

The Goddess of Ice

Image
I am a girl made up of stone, The girl with a freezing stare. My world is made up of ice, And whoever steps in dies. Winter is forever in my realm, And my songs do not rhyme. Thorns keep me safe from harm, And vines keep me warm. If you seek for my heart, You shall not find. If you seek for my pity, You'll meet my army. No one tries to cross my boundaries, For they will meet their greatest fears. Death will welcome them happily, Yet rejection will bade them sadly.

To the Moon and Back

Image
At 5:51 pm, I received a call from one of my best friends, Kate... A call I never expected... A call that no one would ever dare to answer... A call that will suddenly shatter your world and disturb your almost perfect day. Her voice was shaking, and I know that she had been crying and she was sniffing. I wonder... I wonder why she was crying. I wonder if she had broken up with her boyfriend, but she had dropped the most explosive bomb ever made into this world... "She's gone." Those were her words. I don't know what to say, I don't know what to do, and most of all I don't know how will I react, although I felt a pain in my chest, a heavy feeling in my heart. It echoed in my ears that our friend is gone. Our best friend is gone, and I don't know whether I had the right to call her, "best friend". Yet she's the person who showed me more of the K - Pop and the anime world. She's one of those people who made an impact in my ...

ROAD WIDENING

Image
The narrow roads had already changed, trucks, PUVs and automobiles could now fit in a single lane. People who walked on the sidewalks were getting braver and braver, that they were playing chase with vehicles, while Death were looking after them, waiting for his time to reap. The trees that swayed and played with the gentle breeze were now gone, and I wonder where they went. When you look around all you could see were tall leaning posts with wires that hang loose, and birds nested at the very top. Large machines came and knocked down every house that it passed by, while people camped away. Wrecking balls swayed here and there, and the walls crashed down, colorful tiles were shattered, walls as high as mountains fell down. There were tears in their eyes, as they watched their house and memories will be memories, and mementos would be buried six feet under ground. As tricycles sped away, they had seen future in the corner of their eyes. Innovations that the leader had promised h...

Interview Went Wrong

     Last Thursday , I had applied for an office staff that I had found in jobstreet , and the day after I have received a notification that I have an appointment on the next day which was Saturday. I was so excited when I received their letter that I hadn't even doubt whether it was real or not, so after reading and re - reading it, I sent a reply telling them that I'll be coming, until it hit me that tomorrow is Saturday.      I wonder if they did even have office on Saturday? So, I checked the schedule given to me again, yes, my eyes didn't fool me. It was really Saturday, as a job seeker of course I'll risk it and it won't harm me anyway if I tried it, right? So I take my chances.     I took an off from my present job and headed to that interview. I was so prepared until I came to their office. The security officer had told me that they didn't have any offices in weekends and he even suggested that if I want I can wait, so I wait. I even...
