Even adults can be wrong sometimes Last night I have gone through this manga with the line **"Even adults can be wrong sometimes."** It left me with an impression that this line is also right and this might be just the right words for me to know last night. The older generation is looked up to for being wise. They are wise in making decisions or even in everyday living they also give the best advice to the young people, but I can't leave the fact that they are also humans.…

As you die When you are alive, many people don't pay much attention to you. They either like you for what you can do for them or they hate you for being you. When you're alive, only a few people are able to see your worth. They are the people who treasures your presence and existence. When you're alive, you are constantly rejected and no one shows you love. They always forget to show you and make you understand how important you are. When you're alive, you have to keep…

It's time to give up **Never give up.** This is a tag line which most of us believes and lives in but it's also wise to say that there are times when we will came to point when we have to give up on something or someone. It is are to say that it isn't out of a spur of moment. It is something that must be thought carefully about. Giving up has been done many of us. There are unspeakable reasons for it, but before you have given up, I'm definitely sure that you have thought…

Jokes Jokes are something which makes us laugh real hard and causes us to tear up and lose our breath when we hear it. This is harmless and aims to entertain or share an experience to others. It's primary reason is to make us laugh and somehow forget how we feel or the things that we experience. Upto what extent can you accept a joke as a joke? I've encountered lots of different people who has bubbly personality who can make me laugh with a small remark and make me lose my…

Living or Surviving **Living Or Surviving** Life isn’t always about joy and laughter. I have learned this from a young age. As a child, everything I could think about are toys, happy family and the simple joys that the world has to offer. But as I grow older, I realized that life isn’t as easy as it seems when I was a child. ***When we were younger, we cry to get what we want, but when we grow old, we cry to forget what we want.*** As a child I don’t know the real meaning of…

No one's rushing you.** These are the words I've heard from those people who wants to help and comfort me. Sadly, none of these words comforted me enough. I feel so frustrated and disappointed with myself. I've been…

I'm sorry **I'm sorry** are just two words but it leaves deep impression when you are hurt. Sometimes this is what we just need to hear in order to be able to move on with our lives. This might not be enough but it somehow soothes the pain and the long wait for a well-deserved apology. **What does an apology mean?** An apology is given to those people whom we have hurt at some point. Whether it is intentional or not, apology must be given to those whom it is due. Sometimes…

Reasons why people settle for less When the SALE or 50% off are posted our eyes shine instantly. It's as if we are programmed to enjoy what's offered in lesser price. I'm not immune to this. I went to a mall last Monday and I never stopped walking and check all the isles not until I was able to get a good deal. The price was reduced to at least 60% off. I was actually thinking of going back and bringing all the money I have in order to buy a few more pairs of branded jeans.…

Dealing with an annoying neighbor In every neighborhood there will always be neighbors who does exactly what a neighbor shouldn't do. The thought of going home after a long and tiring day must be to find peace and rest. This is not the case to most people because not everyone lives in a village or a compound with a fancy mansion or with homes at least 5 feet apart from each other's homes. In our case, we live in a squatters area which means all homes has just one wall as…

Understanding Women (.) Red Days or period is one of the things that a woman goes through. It's part of being a woman and there'll be no babies born without it. It might be every month, or every other month. It depends on the case of menstruation of a woman. It's the most uncomfortable and tiring days of being a woman. She feels sore all over, constantly tired, abdominal pain or cramps, physical weakness, paleness, food cravings, bleeding, irritation, mood swings, vomiting,…

Understanding Women (Trust Issues) Trust is a big word and most people uphold to it. It doesn't necessarily need a gender to deal with this but most women has trust issues. This is not by choice because nobody has ever wanted to meet someone new and kept on having negative thoughts about someone. Trust take years to build but a minute to destroy. It takes a single mistake to break a full trust given by a woman. She's not a fool not to notice nor naive not to know. She's too…

It makes up a family Blood is thicker than water. No matter what happens a relative or a family member is who will always matter more than a friend. What makes up a family? Is it the same blood that runs through your veins? Is it your family registry? Is it your ancestors? Is it your parents and siblings? Not because you're blood related you're already a family. Sometimes you're too kind to strangers than your own blood. It's easy to resent your family because they're closer…

I never fit in Have you ever been in a crowd and felt as if you don't fit in? No matter how much you try to keep up with them or blend in, you just can't. You are always the outcast or the least favorite. I remembered going to my high school class reunion way back 2018. We had a despidida party for our former classmate who was about to migrate in Canada together with her whole family. Everyone was happily chatting with each other while I felt like I don't belong. I wasn't…

Excuses Not all excuses are excusable. All excuses are excusable to those who give it, but not all whom you give your excuse accepts it as an excusable excuse. I have encountered people with countless excuses especially when you need a favor to ask from them, but when it's them who needed you, you were there for them. It's good to know when someone is there when you needed help. But you can never expect those whom you helped to help you when you're the one who needed it.…

After meetings practices for dance, band rehearsals, multimedia editing and decorating the church, we're finally able to celebrate this day with Thanksgiving. **Thanksgiving is about God's goodness and faithfulness.

STOP and know the reasons To stop means to end. This isn't comfortable at first but it is often worth it. There are a lot of things to consider before stopping. But at the end of the day, it will always be your choice to make. It can also be considered as a pause or momentarily resting at a certain point and time. STOP when you're tired. Take a rest then continue. Remember that health is wealth. You I my have one life to live so you better take care of it. STOP apologizing…

Understanding Women (Maternal Love) A woman is not just a woman. She is always more than what people expect from her. People say that a woman is never complete not unless she has a child. This might not be the case to all women out there but it's the reality of life that no matter what happens, a woman will always be a mother in some way. A mother is someone who is a female parent. Maternal instincts starts at a young age. It was the time when a girl is given a baby doll and…

Intimacy during pandemic (Connections) As I was growing up, I don't have many friends. I can just count it in my fingers. When I was in elementary, I only have one male and one female best friend. When I entered high school I've had four female friends who after a year then decided that they don't want to be friends with me anymore. When I entered college I've had a new set of friends with four females including me and two males. When I graduated in college and started…

Intimacy during pandemic (Relationships) During December 2019, the news about COVID-19 has already started. It was broadcasted in news, social media, newspaper and it has also been the talk of the town.

When there had been news about COVID-19 it wasn't seriously taken because many people see it as hoax…

Things became a lot easier as per the preparation and the expenses were also limited. ****Proms.**** Proms had been done virtually. With female students wearing…

The reason for this season It's the most beautiful time of the year. Even though many people say that 2020 has been the worst year, nothing can stop us from celebrating Christmas this year. COVID-19, other natural calamities and prominent people has died this year.

Understanding Women (Maternal Responsibilities) Strong women are for strong men. A weak man cannot handle a strong woman. He'll find different excuses just so he can justify his act of leaving the woman or stopping his courtship with her. A woman is not a conquest to conquer. She is a woman with emotions and she can provide her needs. When a woman decides on something, people often mistaken it as an act out of impulse. There is a stigma that a woman must become submissive to…

The nature calls out to be saved but no one seems to hear its voice. There is no peace and serenity, only noises everywhere. People starts to feel troubled by what the world says. Your looks matter more than your heart. Your profession matters more than your soul. You are measured according to what you can offer. Your credentials are who you…

2020 is not a wasted year This year has been so far the toughest year for me. I have so many things which I wanted to do but I was unable to do it. I have self expectations and goals which I haven't achieved. In my entire 23 years of existence on earth, I know that I still have a lot of things yet to experience but it seems that I can no longer wait for it to happen. I've been doing things on my own.

2020 is almost up Life is full of uncertainties. It's a matter of decision-making on a daily basis. Your actions today determine your future. From the moment you wake up you already have options to choose from. Your whole day is filled with making choices. Good choices lead to good outcomes while bad choices lead to bad outcome. When you're a student, not passing your outputs and not passing your exams can lead you to repeat the whole school year. When you're a parent, bad…

A dose of sadness Happiness is a choice. It's what most people say and believe in. I feel so amazed with people who always find the positive side in every situation. Those people who are never bothered by what the world throws at them. Those people who always has a smile in their faces. Those people who always see the good in others. This year is saddening. Natural disasters plus this pandemic is something we weren't prepared for. Most people has no savings. All of us has to…

Heart at stake **"HEART AT STAKE"** It's funny how someone can tell you 'I'll never forget you then walk past each other on the streets. It's a lie. Anyone can forget you if you don't have any singnificance in their life. It's funny how you were so naive that you believed any promise given to you. Promises are meant to be broken. Promises from people are way too disappointing. It's funny now someone can easily discard you when they don't need you anymore. You'll know your…

It might not have been seen to all of us in a vulgar way but we all has somehow felt wanting for more. I'm not the materialistic type of person. As long as I can still use an item such as a bag, shoes, notebook, I'll use it. I will not bother buying something new not until what I currently have cannot be…

Relationship Status: Knowing priorities Nowadays it's a common thing to see young people involved in a romantic relationship. Even Elementary pupils are seen with their so called boyfriend or girlfriend. As such a young age, I wonder how a child of 12 years old and below know the meaning of love. I think it's normal to have a crush on someone but using the term 'love' for something like this seems to be a little too disturbing. This shows how a person is easily swayed by…

Perfectly Imperfect In world which longs for perfection, it's difficult to live in a society with imperfection. No matter what you do, you will never be enough.

No means no Women are known to blabber every single thing they think of. They tend to share what they've gone through and feel the need to have someone to share their thoughts with. When a woman says no to anyone in any situation or any possible way, she means no. It's not her fault if she rejected you. You have to live and move on. It's not her trying to test you or trying to get you worked up in order to pursue her. It's not a sign of wanting to make you suffer in order to…
