Old Poems, Gold Moments
Days have passed, weeks and months do as well. I can still remember the day I joined here. The day I finally found something as precious as a gem. It is not only the monetary bonus I got that makes me happy, but the moments I have experienced with you.
Cheers to more beautiful experiences, to priceless moments, and joyous adventures.
As for this article, allow me to share to you my poems. Some poems that I made from the past 5 months. The poems that allowed me to explore my imagination and creativity. The poems that once you read, you will just realize that you are now smiling.
So without so much ado, here they are:
***Quills***
by Dolores
I am who I am
I don't need validation
I am a poet, that's who I am
I can be an inspiration to anyone.
My pen is my sword
It can write a strong word
Give me paper and enough time
I will write poems that rhyme.
Here is another one:
***Wish I may, Wish I might***
by Dolores
Wish I may, Wish I might
See your eyes every morning
Look at them every night,
Especially when you are smiling.
Your eyes are beautiful
As clear as crystal
Like blue heavens, they are wonderful
It's true, and it's official.
Wish I may wish I might
Be the one whom you'll like
You'll stay in my sight,
From morning 'till night.
Your almost perfect eyes
Are indeed condemning
With that, you look wise
And charming.
I will always love them
Already imparted in my system
Like a dream, it is bright
Wish I may wish I might.
***And by the way, do you still remember this thing? The poems above can also be found in this collection.***

***Mother***
by z_graeden
A baby was born by her.
He suckled the milk and nourish by her
His cries at night, his days fright
Ssshh baby,leave you I can not.
Every pain she takes it all
To her child she must stand tall;
When child on the ground he falls
Carefully, mother teach and help not all
Let him learn from and take the toll.
You are this world's mother
Nothing you want but better
Time we hold not
Kids due time will tie the knot.
Grey hair, wrinkles all over,
Frail and body's weaker
Leave her not behind.
Child, take her hand
She does gone blind.

***Dummy Love***
by Mj123
Roses are red
Violets are blue
I love you
Do you love me, too?
You look nice and humble
As sweet as an apple
As kind as a good friend
Like a rainbow with an almost perfect blend.
Then I see you smiling
I thought it is because of me
Then you come near with a happy feeling,
But to someone - pity on me.
Your love is not true, dear
No, my expectations aren't real
It is just a dummy love with no appeal
A love that is not surreal.

***Kaibigan***
by Riziel19
Ito yong tao na hindi basta basta lang
Hindi lang katropa o kabarkada, kundi kaibigan
Kaibigan na maasahaan mo at mapupuntahan
'Yung tipo ng kaibigan na sa hirap at ginhawa ay masasandalan.
Kaibigan ko, salamat sa pagiging totoo,
Dahil sayo naramdaman kong may karamay ako
Ilan lang ang katulad mo dito sa mundo,
Kaya nagpapasalamat ako na nagkakilala tayo.
Sa mundong mapanghusga ikaw yung klase ng kaibigan
Na hindi lang nandiyan kung may kailangan
Kundi mananatili lagi kahit lahat sila ako ay pag-iwanan
Tanda mo pa ba yung una nating pagtatagpo?
Yung panahong akala ko ang sungit mo pero kabaliktaran pala ito ng inaasahan ko
Nagtuloy tuloy ito hanggang sa magkasundo na agad tayo
Hindi ko rin alam kung paano, siguro sadyang komportable lang tayo.
O aking kaibigan,
Ikaw ang siyang nagbigay liwanag sa madilim kung kahapon
Kinulayan mo ang aking buhay na puno ng lungkot at napakatamlay
Ikaw yong tipo ng kaibigan na hindi basta-basta
Dahil mayroon kang natatanging ugali na di ko kailanman nakita sa iba.
***Thanks for reading, guys!***
Just sent the price of the two winners.
P.S.
Sorry for being inactive here. I have a busy sched. rn.
Coming from Within
***Happiness is a thing which we cannot entirely express in words. It can only be sensed by somebody’s representation of a smile or a genuine laugh.***
Furthermore, happiness is a sign or testimony of a sound and flourishing life. It is very easy to feel, but it could be tough to describe.
So, for this article, it contains the first three submitted works for the *Poem Writing Event* under the happiness topic*.*

by @Sayonara
I figured I could never chuckle again,
I figured I could never grin again,
I've just understood that I required existence to think,
I required opportunity to understand what I need
Despite the fact that I understood what I needed.
I just got an opportunity to get myself,
I just got time to discover who "Am I"
I'm happy that my heart is recuperating step by step,
Step by step,
I'm happy that my injuries are presently mending.
Is it since I've discovered bliss?
I would state; Each bit of bliss I have,
Comes from my own special strong companions I have,
The torment I was feeling previously It was planning for my joy,
It was setting me up for my predetermination,
This torment was essentially indicating me that I can likewise thoroughly take care of myself.
I felt that I've fizzled throughout everyday life,
Since I can't bear upping for myself,
I imagined that life has abandoned me,
However, at that point I understood that it was setting me up for one more day.
Life has demonstrated me that there are individuals I can't trust,
In this way, I was lost in light of the fact that nobody could help me,
I was lost to a degree where I've come to understand that nobody needs to hear me,
I was lost however then I was found.
I was found by somebody who can set me up for later,
Somebody who demonstrated me the right way,
Somebody who permitted me to incline toward her shoulder when times were hard,
I will always remember the day I've met the individual who contributed quite a bit of her experience on me,
The individual who chatted with me and ensured that I comprehend,
Also, toward the day's end I feel much improved.
The individual who contributed her time,
Her space and demonstrated me that life has it's own high points and low points.
Somebody I've trusted with every one of my insider facts and turned out to be consistent with me.
Be that as it may, the inquiry is;
How can this become part of my joy?
This turned out to be important for my satisfaction
Since just a single individual got intrigued to catch wind of my agony, That as well as to help me bit by bit.
I accept that I needed to confide in just a single individual,
"The most ideal approach to see whether you can believe someone is to confide in them."
Bliss has been my entire being was searching for,
It was what I generally needed.
I accept that for one to discover satisfaction,
They need to acknowledge themselves for what their identity is,
Furthermore, start to look for it changed ways.
Here I am today, I figured out how to discover joy,
I've figured out how to look for the seed to satisfaction.
I think I required joy to get myself,
Yet, right off the bat I expected to pardon and give up,
I've figured out how to discover the seed to satisfaction,
The seed to opportunity, Furthermore, the seed to get myself.
The main thing is;
Discover a seed that will develop the blossoms of bliss to your life,
The blossom that will open the seed of joy.

**Christmas eve**
by: @carisdaneym
People are singing,
People are dancing.
Some are having thanksgiving
And being grateful for everything.
Christmas light that shines so bright
Looking at the sky and enjoy the night.
To see you smile is the best highlight.
Being with you is happiness.
Our father in heaven,
Thank you for forgiveness
I will take that as blessing
And be grateful for everything.
*"Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier."* —**Mother Theresa**

**Happiness is free**
by: @Captainrex5
Happiness is a state of the mind,
Search within, and you will find.
Happiness cannot be defined.
It's something that can't be denied.
Happiness is complete and free.
You don't need a fee to acquire it.
Happiness is yours, and yours to keep.
Don't let anyone steal something so deep.
*"Action may not always bring happiness, but there is no happiness without action."* —**William James**
If money can purchase happiness, then the wealthy individuals would be the most felicitous persons on earth. But, we sometimes perceive an opposed representation of the rich as sad, timid, uneasy, stressed, and suffering from various problems. That is why it is most proper to say:
*Happiness comes from within, and no one can take it away from us.*
Open Up Your Heart
**They say that love is selfless. If you really love someone, you are ready to give your all. But that does not mean you need to pretend blind when the one you love does not love you back.**
Love is the various passions that we felt when love and attention manifested to us. It is not merely about romance. Love can signify several conditions and can deviate from somebody to another.
What establishes love are care, honesty, and trust. Everybody desires to be loved. It gives each one of us joy and makes us feel like we have value. We love for numerous reasons and matters, and the passion we believe changes throughout our lifetimes.
So, for this article, it contains the first four submitted works for the *Poem Writing Event.*

**Journey to love**
by @bbghitte
The life I travelled
Is dark and disheveled
As if the world is shattered
I don't know how to move.
Give up, give up!
A loud voice from above
I felt scared, so scared
I trembled and felt cold.
I am ready to close my eyes
Sign of surrender and defeat
Tears began to roll and fall
This journey I must end.
Hey mister
Get up, get up!
What are you doing in my truck?
But I was just to weak to answer.
I slowly opened my eyes
All I see is white
Am I in heaven or not
Then you came out, so I told myself thanks God!
Hey mister
Are you deaf or what?
Then I smiled
What a cute angel on my sight!
Then things around me gets clearer
More colors, livelier
Now I find the perfect reason to get up
To live again and fight.
Thanks my love
I was in the verge of giving up
But you are there just in time
You pick me up and bring me back to life.
I met you not by accident
Not even a coincidence
But for me to start another journey
My journey to love you!
Love has multiple definitions. It can indicate being tender towards an individual, and that the love paid back or reciprocated.
*“You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.”*

**I still love you anyway**
by: @carisdaneym
Why does it hurt to feel alone?
No one cares if I'm not home
It feels like I'm in a big dome
But here I am crying, alone.
I wish that we can be together
Watching sunset until forever
How I wish that you're still here
Hugging and talking to each other.
I didn't take you for granted,
I love you co'z that's what I wanted
You left me dumbfounded
that's how our story ended.
You left me so voiceless
You left me like I was worthless!
You left me, You left me!
And I become heartless
The sorrow and tears of yesterday
It doesn't faded away
Even if you passed away,
I still love you anyway.
Love is an assemblage of feelings and emotions that we undergo. Love could also indicate faiths or practices that manifest your love to special someone.
*“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.”*
― **Lao Tzu**

by @Sayonara
You are the sun that sparkles brilliantly consistently.
You are the gravity that pulls me down all around.
You are the moon that sparkles consistently.
You are stars that flicker quite brilliant.
You are the oxygen that holds me alive.
You are my heart that pulsates inside.
You are the blood that courses through me.
You are the solitary person that I can see.
You have the sound of when a mockingbird sings.
You are my beginning and end.
You are my all in all.
You prevent me from being so desolate.
We plan our future as though we understand.
I never need to lose you.
I need you to be my significant other, and I need to be your better half.
I need to be with you for the remainder of my life.
Love is a feeling that everyone is longing for. It lets them feel comfortable and alive. That is why when someone loves someone who is only sweet at first, then will go away like a bubble, that someone feels extreme pain.
*"There is never a time or place for true love. It happens accidentally, in a heartbeat, in a single flashing, throbbing moment.”*

**A Fool for Your Charms**
By @Captainrex5
You brought me laughter,
When all I felt was just pain.
Now; I love again.
*Love is the foundation for passionate relationships; a couple of partners caring and loving each other. They believe in each other and examine to manage out their disagreements when they argue. Friendships also have a spirit of love. Though it may not be as passionate as romantic relationships, friends still love us. They care for us, make us felicitous, and also care about us. But note that friendships that were just based on fame and state do not last long.*

Of Comparison and Similarity
***Ethics and Morality***
The relation between morality and ethics is that they have something to do about recognizing the distinction between "good and bad" or "right and wrong." The contradiction between them is that ethics are certain rules or standards that are provided by an external source, such as the codes of conduct in the workplace, whereas morality transcends cultural norms and talks about a person's own beliefs and principles to which he/she deems to be what is a right or wrong behavior.
***Ethics and Culture***
The two terms similarly deal with the cultures, beliefs, values of a community., and it relates with each other through the interpretations of what is considered to be moral are guided by cultural norms. The contradiction between them however is that ethics seeks to say that there should be elements of right or wrong in those cultural beliefs while culture is in general just a way of life. It reflects the norms and moral values, which governs the way on how people should interact and behave with other people.
***Ethics and Law***
Ethics and law both have set of roles that are widely published, as well as, generally accepted and they are made to control and regulate societies and that laws are created together with ethics as a guiding principle. However, the contradiction between them is that ethics talks about the regulations of conduct about what is right or wrong behavior. While the Law talks about the orders that come from the governments in order to give balance and protection enforced in their respective societies, and has legal consequences that are punishable.
Unforgettable Tour
Educational tour portrays a significant role in inculcating additional knowledge into the minds of students. It can be in an engaging and functional manner. It also provides us opportunities to visit financial institutions that help us conceive what we are learning from school. Things that are seen in real life can be smoothly discerned than the things that we exclusively read from our thick books. It is not just an ordinary tour, it is where real life events, new experiences and learning collide.
The previously conducted immersion tour in November 12-15, 2019 has gave me so much learning that are not only helpful in our studies but also to the whole aspects of life. The tour helped us cultivate our personality since courtesy and good manners are grasped and learned too through experience.
Moreover, It is of great importance to have educational tour like this for students because it is one of the parts of our learning process. It let us relax for a while and forget about the things that stress us and provide us more information that are powerful and sharpen our minds through actual exposure to the different financial institutions.
Before the tour, all the things needed starting from personal things to various learning materials were prepared and the goals and expectations were communicated and established. It is of great importance to manage time really well and that we could have earn new experiences which can be helpful for us to develop our skills and to further increase our interest and engagement into our chosen course.
Everyone seemed so excited this time and it is undeniable that I am one of those who felt happy because finally we are about to proceed in the tour. I observed that there are those students who felt nausea during the travel and I have learned that in scenarios like this, everyone should be prepared especially those who are not used to in travelling to far places. It is important to always bring medicines which can be used in case of events like this.
When we are already in Manila, I felt unfamiliar to the place. The ambiance is far different here in our beloved province. There are areas that look poor and there were those people who are continuously wandering the place and made the road as their home but I saw a silver lining in it. In some areas, I was amazed by the stunning buildings and that feeling became more thrilling when we finally reached The Selah Garden Hotel. Overall, this day was full of electrifying experiences.
Republic Act 4109 or the Standardization Law of the Philippines 1964 made me realized that we should really check the things we are buying most especially the things related to electricity to ensure if these things passed the Philippine Standards to avoid trade malpractices and void substandard or hazardous products.
It is already dark when we reached the hotel. After the dinner was the Socialization Night. It is an avenue which led us to get to know about each other and also a great event that let us showcased the talents we have during the Got Talent portion. In this event I learned that one should really come out from his/her own shell because it is really a fulfilling one. Be confident, and do not be shy in interacting with other people so that the communicating skill will be further improve since it is essential in our chosen course.
At the Philippine Stocks Exchange, it was indeed interactive. One of the new knowledge that I acquired here is that anyone who is at legal age even a student like me can already buy stocks and be a shareholder of one of the biggest companies in the Philippines. I learned also that there where times that the stocks are bullish or the prices tend to be moving upward and bearish or the prices tend to be moving downward. From this institution, I realized that from those 266 listed companies, it is the safest way to invest to blue chips companies or the biggest ones and most traded. Now, I know to whom I will give my trust when trading. Only trade at registered brokers whether traditional or online.
The rest of the day was spent at the SM Mall of Asia. Some went shopping, others experienced thrilling rides and the rest just enjoyed the beauty found within it and what the mall could offer.
The tour gave us the opportunity to experience and learn handful of knowledge about the different financial institutions and museum that we have visited. Lifelong memories were made also together with our classmates and friends. It is something that will never be forgotten most especially those additional learning we have learned through actual exposure. The moments we had joy and fun were my favorites.
