Beauty in You
"IT'S NOT BAD TO FIX/MAKE YOURSELF BEAUTIFUL"
Each of us is endowed with our own beauty, it is even more dominant or noticeable when grooming/putting on some make up(s).
Compared to our generation today, the number of it lessens day by day due to humans toxic behaviour. Saying unnecessary things just to brag you down and took off the confidence you have, and later on talking a lot of nonsense.
Don’t let someone crush you to bring out your true self. Make yourself beautiful in what way you want to be, just for yourself and not for others satisfaction.
I don't want to see myself again being crazy with someone who can't see my worth.
It's not the negative things that letting us down or fail but it's ourselves whose doing it.
Remember that it's always your choice /decision to stay on that position. So it'll be your fault if you let negative things swallow you.
Beach are Dangerous ?
People always love to spare their time on taking a vacation, going out of town, and relaxing themselves to reduce stress and to leave their regular routine(work or anything that makes them busy) for the mean time. On top of the exciting way they do is going in the beach.
Who else doesn't want to go here ? With it's refreshing and cool air, smooth sand that touches your feet and even the cold splash of water. I bet you're probably imagining it right now.
But did you know that there's some beautiful beach that's dangerous too ? If you don't, then please continue reading this.
So here it goes .
**1) Kilaeua** **Beach, Hawaii**
Hawaii is famous and well known for it's beaches here, but this one is not one of them. There are many volcanoes in Hawaii and Mt. Kilaeua is the most active of them. It is located near by the beach, and the beach sands are often covered with volcanic rocks. If you want to visit this beach you should worry because it can errupt or explode any moment.
*Since 1983, this volcano became active and often explodes.*
**2) Playa Zipolite, Mexico**
A beach located in the town of San Pedro, Pochutla in the southern part of Mexico. It is one of the most beautiful beaches in Mexico but unfortunately it is also dangerous.
The word **zipolite** means *"the beach of the dead".*
At first glance you will notice that the beach is calm that's why there were people still obsessed coming here, then eventually the big waves will come out and followed by the strong and dangerous suction of water back into the deep part of the sea or also known as **reef current.**
*It is estimated that more than 50 people die here each year*.
**3) Fraser Beach, Australia**
This beach in Australia has never been visited by people because of it's well-known habitat for sharks and jellyfish. You can't even sit on the sand to sunbathe because this place is also full of crocodiles and deadly spiders. Because of the danger posed by it at sea or on the shore, you will never want to come here.
**4) Gansbaai, South Africa**
When you arrive in Africa, avoid going to this beach because this one is full of **white sharks**. This beach is popular with people who are looking for adventure and want to dive using shark cages. This is the only way to get safely under the water, if there is no protection there is a high chance that you will be eaten by sharks.
**5) Volusia County, Florida**
Many people visits Florida because of it's stunning beaches. But when you go to Florida you should avoid going to the beach especially in Volusia County.
*In 2013 lots of shark attacks were recorded on the beach of Volusia County.*
There are more sharks here compared to the number of sharks in the South African Region known as the most notorious home of sharks in the world. Either lying on the shore will not be safe too, because this area also has the highest record of lightning strikes in all of North America.
**6) Chow Patty Beach, India**
It is one of the most popular beaches in the world but it is also one of the dirtiest beaches in the world. Every year thousands of residents celebrates the ***Hindu Festival Ganesh Chaturthi***. It is a tradition in which the statues of their idols are lifted in a procession and taken to the nearby sea to be immersed in water, because the beach was so dirty, many residents are hospitalized after the festival.
**7) Bikini Atoll US Marshall Islands**
There are many reasons to avoid going to this beach. There are many sea creatures here now that you can see under the water of this island and you can probably say it is a good diving spot. But it is not safe to bathe and swim here. Not only to sharks you should be afraid of, in 1946 - 1958, this was used as a testing ground for nuclear weapons. During this time more than 20 nuclear bombs were detonated and the whole island got contaminated with radiation. One day the government declared that this beach was safe. But people avoid themselves from going here for they don't want to risk their own safety just for this place.
**8) North Sentinel Island, Andaman Islands**
This place is part of the archipelago of the Andaman Islands which is part of the union territory of India. It is bordered by India and Myanmar. Of all the dangerous beaches in the world, this is probably the **most dangerous** of all. You shouldn't just worry the sea creatures or the strong currents of water here, nor the pollution, for all you have to worry about here are the people who live on this island. If you want to find a beach to relax, avoid going to the beach of this island. The natives here do not like tourists. They are known to inherit a fiery bow to take down the aircraft passing through their island.
*When a ship accidentally set sails on their island they immediately killed the two persons on board.*
They will do everything to protect their island. So if you still want to live avoid this island.
**9) Northern Territory Beaches, Australia**
The water here contains **thousands of box jellyfish** which are the *deadliest creature* in the world. They can grow up to **eleven inches wide**, and they can also have **up to 60 tentacles** that **can grow up to 6 feet**. They are transparent that's why they cannot be seen easily. With their poisonous sting, there are people who have not reached the shores alive. *It's poison can kill you in just five minutes*.
*In 1983, a record of 70 people died due to box jellyfish here.*
**10) Skeleton Coast, Namibia**
Who else wants to go to beach which they call Skeleton Coast? Because of the seal bones and sharks scattered here as well as the broken and abandoned ships anchored on the shore, it has established it's name given by a book author John H. Marsh.
They also called it as *"the gates of hell"*. Rocky and cloudy seas are the reason why according to study, about 1000 ships have been stranded and have not been able to leave due to the strength of the strong current that prevents the ships from moving.
*In March 2018, the latest case was recorded when Namibia authorities rescued a Japanese Fishing Vessel. It was stuck in the rocky part of the sea.*
The only alternative way out in this area is a wide and hot dessert. It is said that lots of sailors died here due to lack of drinking water.
So what can you say?
Would you still like to go to the beaches mentioned above?
No matter how you tried your best to be nice at them they still see you as a black sheep. Ohh crap ! What a life 😐

Death
Death, all of us knew that we're going on to this matter whether we're prepared or not. Some are not happy upon hearing this word while others take this as a joke for they don't know that any moment they could lose their life.
A question pop-out on my mind. Why do some people easily took other person's life without hesitation? Then the answer slaps me hard. For them, killing or ending others life is the best way they can do to get rid off their enemies, or it might be even a revenge for what they've been through. Either it's a sin, once a person felt that insecurity or anger, they can do everything and anything whatever it takes.
Commiting suicide, is this thing still new to you? Well I guess not, as far as i've seen on dramas, movies and even in news committing suicide is a way to escape or end the problems they've had. Feeling a burden, lacking of attention, hopelessness and even stress are the reasons why a person do this sinful thing.
Another one is the saddest part. Some people dies by having an uncurable disease(s), especially now that there's virus spreading worldwide. It's hard for them to accept the fact that they're one step to death, they had no choice but to keep waiting to get well or get dead. Sad isn't it?
Death is not just a word, it has concept that affects a person mind and feelings. Value the life that you've had, make it valuable and meaningful every single moment.
The Reaper
It started when I was in junior high taking up my test or should I say examination per quarter. I was answering too quickly the exam because I want to go home early and take a rest but unexpected thing happen.
I saw a reaper behind my teacher, I blinked so many times to consider myself that I'm hallucinating but the reaper was still there. I can't even tell if what was the reaper's facial expression for it doesn't have any eyeballs, nor even skin or tissues. It just wearing a long black coat with it's hood and he holds a big sharp metal like axe.
I tried my best to ignore it but it bugs me off that it was still standing behind my teacher. I made a way to took my teacher's attention. Then the reaper disappeared like a smoke until no presence of him to be found.
I thought that, that creepy moment will never pop in my life again but I was wrong.
December 17, 2014, the day of my friend's birthday. I ask for my mother's permission that I'll stay with my friends home in this day. Luckily, my mother approved my permission. Happily walking towards my friend's home I saw the reaper again. Stuck up in where i'm standing and just frightenly staring at the reaper. When the reaper move towards my direction, I immediately cover my face with my both hands and I unexpectedly sit on where i'm standing. I never expected that I would feel so frightened upon seeing that reaper again. I can't even control my body for I was shaking all out of fear.
Until someone tap my shoulder. I remove my hands on my face and lifted up my head slowly, oh it was my friend. He's looking at me and he's worried because I'm still shaking. "Why do you look so pale? Are you okay?" my friend asked. I tried my best to answer his question but I end up stooding up straight on what I saw behind him then I faint.
I woke up laying on a bed and my friend was sitting on a chair next to the bed. "Oh, you're awake. Are you feeling better now?" my friend asked. "What happened?" I asked him ignoring his question. You fainted a while ago, are you feeling sick? If so, better go home now. You need to take a rest." he said. "No, I'm okay. It just that.," I said as I looked at him.
How can I even say that I got fainted because I saw a reaper behind him? If I tell him he will just laugh at me. So I made a lie just to went home. I told my friend that I'm a bit sick for I didn't get enough sleep yesterday.
Days passed by and i'm still frightened of walking alone or being alone thinking that any moment I might see that reaper again. Until one day when I was in senior high my former classmate in junior year told me that our teacher on junior year was dead. She died because of a car accident. Her head hit badly as she jumped out of the car and had an internal bleeding. She's got comatose for three months until she was declared dead. I felt sad upon hearing my former classmate's story.
Month after that day, my friend's father died. He died because of heart attack, as when I visited my friend to comfort him beyond his mourning I realize something. The reason why I saw the reaper twice was not just to frighten me, but it is more of a warning that someone will get dead in future.
Caramel Custard Bread Pudding
Have you ever tried to eat pudding? Does it soft, creamy and yummy? Does it make you feel like your on fluffy clouds? Do you ever want to repeat that moment again?
Well get ready your pans and tools for cooking, 'cause I'm going to share a wonderful and delicious dessert you'll repeat to eat over and over again.
So let's start !
(Ingredients)
1/4 cup sugar (for caramel)
6 pieces slice bread/tasty
4 tbsp. custard powder
1/2 cup water
1 1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup sugar
(Procedure)
1) In a pan, put in the sugar, spread it all over the pan by shaking it. Heat up the pan, then wait for it to caramelize the sugar. Try mixing it when it turns brown, then if it turns dark brown remove it from heat.
2) Once you removed the caramelized sugar from heat, immediately transfer it into a 6-inch round baking pan. Make sure to transfer all of it, then spread it evenly all over the baking pan and keep aside.
3) Cut the edges of the slice bread, cut it into small pieces and grind it very well then set aside.
4) In a small bowl put 4 tbsp. of custard powder and 1/cup of water. Mix it well.
5) Heat up the pan, pour in the milk and add 1/2 cup of sugar. Then wait for it to boil. Remember, cook the milk and sugar mixture in medium heat only. Once it's boiling add the dissolved custard powder and mix it by using an egg beater/whisker (not electric). Continue cooking it in medium heat, keep stirring. Once it thickens, turn down the heat to low.
6) Now add in the grind bread or perhaps I say soft bread crumbs. Add it gradually and mix it. After you finished putting all of the soft bread crumbs, transfer it to the round baking pan with caramelized sugar you set aside a while ago.
7) When you're done pouring the mixture hold the round baking pan and tap it up and down. Remember to use towel before you hold the round baking pan. Tapping it avoids the mixture to form bubbles.
8) Flatten the top of the mixture to make it even. Do this carefullly. Then cover it with foil, make sure to cover it properly.
9) In a deep pan, put some hot water into the pan then place a stand. Place your round baking pan over the stand and cover your deep pan with lid. This method is what we called steaming. Steam it for about 20-30 mins on medium flame/heat.
10) Bring it in room temperature then keep it in the fridge for atleast 2 hours.
11) After 2 hours, remove the foil you cover to the round baking pan, place a plate on top of the baking pan and turn it around. Remember to tap the bottom of the baking pan when you turn it upside down. Carefully lift the baking pan, this will help the pudding drop beautifully. Serve it and enjoy !

Sesame Chicken
I always love the idea of eating fried chicken especially when it is crispy and juicy.
But in this recipe I'm going to share with you will upgrade your fried chicken into a tastier and more crispier one.
I remember my father with this, for he's the one who always cook this dish in our home. Enough of the drama !
Let's start cooking !
(Ingredients)
1 lb chicken thigh, cut into 1.5 inches cube
2 cloves of garlic
black pepper
1.5 tsp. soy sauce
1/2 tsp. salt
3/8 tsp. baking soda
1 egg white
0.5 tbsp starch (add it to marinade)
1 cup potato starch (use for chicken coating)
2 cups oil for chicken frying
(For the Sauce)
3 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp honey
3 tbsp water
2.5 tbsp soy sauce
2.5 tbsp ketchup
1 tbsp vinegar
Sweet potato starch water to thicken the sauce (2 tsp of potato starch mixed with 2 tsp water)
1 tbsp sesame oil
1.5 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
Diced scallion as a garnish
(Procedure)
1) Cut some boneless and skin on chicken leg, must be 1-inch size. I prefer that you should use dark meat when making fried chicken. For it gives a tender and juicier result. And yes, if you wishes to use chicken breast do as you want to.
2) For marinating of chicken use the following : 1 tsp. grated garlic, 1.5 tsp. soy sauce, 1/2 tsp. salt, a pinch of black pepper, 3/8 tsp of baking soda, 1 egg white, and 1/2 tbsp of starch. Mix everything until it's all combined. Cover it with lid and let it sit for about 40 minutes.
Note : Cornstarch, potato starch or sweet potato starch you can use any of them.
3) While waiting for the chicken, let's prepare for our coating. Fluff the starch a little. Get a spread bottle, gently spread a tiny bit of water into the starch for few times. You may notice that some of the starch will clump up and create some mini balls. Wait until 10 seconds to let it set and use the whisk to stir it. Spread more water, wait again for 10 seconds and stir it again. Repeat this 3 times in total.
4) Dump half of the starch into a big container. Then spread it out. Put in the chicken and separate them piece by piece. Cover the meat with the other half of the starch. Cover the container with lid and shake for a few minutes. Take out the meat from the container and shake off all the excess starch.
5) Heat up your oil for atleast 380 F. Then put the chicken piece by piece so it will not stick together. Do not crow your pan for it overflows easily. Do this in batches as needed. Your safety is the most important. The temperature is high. In less than 2 minutes, you can see that the surface of the chicken gets crispy and the color turns slightly yellow. Take them out now. Fish out all those small little bits and prepare the next batch.
6) Keep the temperature at 380 F, and fry the second batch of your chicken. Once it's all cooked let it rest for about 15 minutes because we're gonna double fry the chicken. You just have to keep your eye on the color when you double fry it. For about 2 or 3 minutes, it will reach that beautiful golden color. Take them out now and set it aside.
Note : Double frying will stabilize the crunchiness so it lasts longer.
7) Now we're making the sauce. In a large bowl, add 3 tbsp. brown sugar, 2 tbsp. liquid of honey, 2.5 tbsp. soy sauce, 2.5 tbsp. of ketchup, 3 tbsp of water, and 1 tbsp. vinegar. Mix them very well.
8) Put you wok on the stove, pour in the sauce. If there's some sugar sink in the bottom of the bowl make sure to clean that. Keep stirring the sauce on medium heat and bring it to boil. Pour in some potato starch water to thicken the sauce. Keep stirring till it reaches the thin syrup texture. Now add in the chicken together with 1 tbsp. sesame oil, 1.5 tbsp. toasted sesame seeds. Mix it again.
9) Remove from heat and place it in a plate. Garnish it with diced scallions. Enjoy !
Potato Cheese Roll
Potato is one of the top vegetable use to make lots and lots of special dishes. Fried, boiled or even when baked potatoes are tastier rather on it's own.
Me and my sisters love fried potatoes but we hated it when it's boiled, for it taste nothing or it's just too plain for our appetite.
So my mother think of a bright idea to upgrade the boiled potatoes to be tasty and yummy.
I'd love to share this recipe to you and I'm pretty sure that your kids will love this dish too.
You can make this at your own home or make this as a simple start of your little income.
So let's start !
( Ingredients)
3 large-sized potatoes
Pinch of Salt
1 cheddar cheese
1 egg
Breadcrumbs
( For Dippings )
1/2 cup Mayonaisse
1 tbsp Banana Catsup
Note : Prepare barbecue sticks or a popsicle sticks for this recipe if you like (but hey, this thing is optional)
( Proceduce )
1) Lightly cut the skin part of the potatoes in circular portion but do not slice the potatoes.
Note : We're doing this to make the potatoes skin easily peel off after we boiled it. Later we will not be needing the knife to peel it off.
2) Boiled the potatoes until it tenders. Once it's cooked remove it from the heat and remove it from water. Peel off it's skin by using your hand. Be careful 'cause it's hot.
3) Put the peeled potatoes in a bowl and mash it throughly until it smoothens.
Note : While mashing it, remember to add a pinch of salt to make it tastier.
4) Slice or cut the cheddar cheese into strips. This will be our filling for our dish.
5) By using a barbecue stick or any stick you have in there as long as it is small, carefully pitch or skewer the middle part of the cheese as shown in the picture below.
Note: This part is optional, so it means you can do this method or just skip it.
6) Cover the cheese in the stick with mashed potatoes. Make sure to cover all the parts of the cheese, to avoid popping out the cheese filling when you cook it.
7) Beat an egg, dip in the mashed potatoes with the stick in the egg and roll it very carefully into the breadcrumbs.
8) Heat up the pan, put some oil. Put the potato roll and let it cook. Remember to put the potato roll when the oil is hot.
Note : You don't have to use too much oil. You can just turn the potato roll to make all the sides cooked. Cook the potato roll in low heat only to avoid burning or overcooking. Overcooking of your dish will make it soggy.
9) Once your potato roll is lightly golden brown remove it from the pan and put it in paper towel. This will reduce the excess oil in the potato roll. Then put it in a plate.
10) For dippings : Mix 1/2 cup of mayonnaise and 1 tablespoon of banana catsup.
Serve it and enjoy !

A role model
Most of us think that if a child grew up with wrong behavior or attitude his/her parents got lack of guidance in them. Actually, there is a part of me that agree with that and the other part is not.
I'll explain it to you why.
Day by day as your child grows, you always took time to talk to him/her right? That's one way to get your child's attention. Simple preaching and guidance eventhough they don't quite understand what you're saying right? But to tell honestly, it's still not enough . Being attentive to what you're doing or saying to them is a great example.
Have you ever thought of that too? If not, then continue reading this.
Yes, I'm at the stage of wondering how to be a good mother for I'm still new with this matter. But every day as I see my child grows, I'm learning many things and applying it little by little. Now I want it to share with you today.
First and foremost if your child did something wrong or it's not good for you, do not hit or shout at them. I know you will disagree with this but this is all I can say, they will not know that they're wrong if you hit or shout to them. Talk to them carefully and remind them that what they've done is wrong. If the child is in younger age, you just have to imitate what they did and add a shrug of your head, so they will know that it's wrong or not appropriate.
Second, avoid arguing or fighting in front of your child. Since you are their parent, what will you say or do is what they think is right. If you can't avoid arguing don't let them hear you shouting or raising your voice. If possible you must stay away from your enemy and cool down your temper. In that way your child will think that if there is any misunderstanding or conflict they shouldn't have to fight back.
You always have to think about the things you do or say because you will be the first teacher or a good example for your child. You will always be their role model.
Lesson Learned
The movie A Silent Voice / A Shape of Voice have given me a lesson.
This movie covers how Shoya Ishida who had lots of friends are despises and being hated by all because of the merciless and bad thing they made with Shoko Nishimiya who was deaf. As I watched how they played and bully Nishimiya like that, I wondered what if that thing happened to me? Maybe I won't last too long and I will transfer to another school like what Nishimiya did.
As soon as Nishimiya transferred to another school, Ishida became miserable and end up to the point of committing suicide because of what's happening to him. Imagine, all of his friends who also bullied Nishimiya denied what they did and pass it all to Ishida. Sadly, all of his friends end up bullying him.
Until Nishimiya and Ishida meet again. I admire Nishimiya from what she did and i've proved that no matter how big Ishida's sin against her she still managed to forgive him and make friends with him.
Although many hates Ishida, he found a friend named Nagatsuka. Eventhough he heard a lot of Ishida's bad stories, he still managed to stood by his side. His only looking forward more of the good things that Ishida has done to him than the bad things he heard.
Until Ishida's friends reunite. At first he struggled to keep in touch with them because of their bad past and also Ueno who was angry with Nishimiya. She blames Nishimiya for what happened to Ishida. Even if she didn't do anything wrong but just to make friends with them.
I have learned here that no matter how big or bad mistakes that you've done, as long as you have learned to deal with your mistakes and apologize with all your heart, the person you hurt will forgive and accept you.
Peek Into My Life

Lumang Litrato
Sa henerasyon natin ngayon usong-uso na ang pagpopost ng mga litrato sa social media. Magandang kulay, disenyo at sa isang click lang pwede mo ng isend sa kahit na sino mang nais mo. Sino ba namang hindi pa nakakaranas nito di ba? Bukod sa maganda ng tingnan lumipas man ang panahon hindi kukupas o masisira ang iyong mga litrato at wala ring tatambak sa tahanan mo.
Pero naisip mo ba na mas memorable ang isang litrato kapag ito'y nasa photopaper at nakadisplay sa bahay mo?
Hindi kayo sang-ayon? Well, kaibigan, kanya-kanya tayo ng opinyon.
Para sa akin kasi kapag nakikita kong nakadisplay ang isang litrato parang nandun na din ang presensya ng taong nasa larawan. Kahit na wala siya physically pero sa puso at isip ng mapapatingin sa litrato ay mananatili ang taong iyon.
Ihahalimbawa ko sa inyo ang aking papa. Matagal na siyang wala sa aming bahay dahil kailangan niyang magtrabaho sa malayo. Idagdag ko na rin na madalas silang mag-away ni mama dahil sa common na pinag-aawayan ng mag-asawa. Third party I guess? So ayun, simula ng makagraduate ako ng highschool ay umalis na nga ng tuluyan si papa. Nung una nakakalungkot kasi nakasanayan ko na palaging iniintay si papa na umuwi galing sa trabaho niya. Hanggang sa makita ko ang litrato ni papa sa mga naiwanan niyang gamit.
Pinakita ko ito kay mama at di ko inaasahan ang sasabihin niya.
"Itapon mo na 'yan o sunugin mo, kung bakit ba naman kasi nag-iwan pa ng gamit dito ang magaling mong ama."
Ganoon na lamang ang galit ni mama kay papa. Hindi ko siya masisisi kasi wala naman ako sa lugar para makialam at isa pa hindi ko din naman alam kung ano ang nararamdaman ni mama.
Itinabi ko na lang ang litrato ng papa ko ng hindi sinasabi kay mama. Alam ko kasing magagalit si mama kapag di ko sinunod ang gusto niya.
Nadalaw-dalaw pa rin naman si papa minsan samin pero itinatago ko pa din yung litrato niya. Kahit dun na lang sa litrato niyang iyon masabi ko man lang na buo at masaya ang aming pamilya.
Ang Aking Tahanan
Mapalad ang bawat kabataan na buo ang pamilya at mauuwiang sariling tahanan. Masaya sila at malaya nilang nagagawa ang mga gusto nila. Hindi ko kasi naranasan ang mga bagay na iyon dahil pagkapanganak pa lamang sa akin ng aking ina ay binawian na siya ng buhay. Ang aking ama naman limang taong gulang pa lang ako noon ay binawian na rin ng buhay dahil sa kanyang karamdaman.
Bago pa man mamatay ang aking ama ay inihabilin niya ako sa kamag-anak ng aking ina, pero simula ng magsampung taon ako ay napagdesisyunan nila na ibigay ako sa ampunan. Sabi pa nga ng aking tiya mas mapapabuti raw ako doon dahil baka may umampon sa akin na mag-asawang mayaman. Hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit ganoon na lamang kadali na ibigay nila ako sa ampunan gayong pamilya din naman nila ako.
May isang taon na siguro ako noon sa ampunan ng mapagdesisyunan kong tumakas dahilan sa hindi ko na gusto ang mga patakaran nila roon. Halimbawa na lang ng bawal manood ng telebisyon, may oras ang pagtulog pati na rin ang paggising, kailangan may itutulong ka sa mga gawain halimbawa ng paglalampaso ng sahig, paghuhugas ng mga pinagkainan, paglalaba at paglilinis ng bahay ampunan.
Isa pang kinaaayawan ko ay ang namamahala sa ampunan napakasungit niya strikta, kailangan alerto ka lagi sa kilos mo kung hindi marami siyang pupunahin sa iyo at sa mga ginagawa mo. Isang beses nga noong nagwawalis ako sa labas ng ampunan umupo lang ako saglit dahil napakainit noon sa labas ang dami na niya agad sinabi sa akin. Gaya na lang ng 'kung ibang bata ang makakita sa iyo gagayahin nila ang katamaran mo, gusto mo bang maging masamang modelo sa mga kasamahan mo rito?'. Umupo lang naman ako noon pero inisip niya na katamaran agad ang pag-upo ko. Simula noon naging alerto na ko pag nasa paligid ang namamahala.
At heto na nga ako ngayon binabagtas ang lansangan, sa totoo lang hindi ko alam kung saan na ako dadalhin ng aking mga paa. Ang nais ko lang ay makalayo na ng tuluyan sa lugar na iyon ayokong gugulin ang buong buhay ko sa ampunan na parang isang preso.
Ngunit bigo ako ng makalaya na ng tuluyan, apat na araw simula ng tumakas ako ay nahanap ako ng isa sa mga tauhan sa ampunan.
Maluha-luha akong nakiusap na huwag na niya akong ibalik doon, doon sa lugar na para akong isang bilanggo. Ngunit tila para siyang bingi sa aking pakiusap at ibinalik pa rin ako sa lugar na ayaw ko ng balikan.
Agad kaming sinalubong ng namamahala at dinala ako sa kanyang opisina. Alam kong galit siya nababasa ko iyon sa kanyang mga mata. Bumuntong hininga siya ng mapatingin sa akin at saka sinambit ang mga salitang ito. "Ayos ka lang ba?". Saglit pa akong natulala sa kanya at marahang tumango na tila nagtataka pa rin kung bakit ganoon ang sinabi niya sa akin.
"Mabuti naman kung ganon. Sige na makakabalik ka na sa iyong silid. Huwag mo na ulit tatangkaing tumakas ha? Ikaw lang din ang mahihirapan kung gagawin mo iyon." malumanay niyang sinambit at umupo na siya sa kanyang silya. Tumayo na ako at nagtungo sa pinto ng kanyang opisina. Bubuksan ko na sana ang pinto ng bigla ulit siyang magsalita. "Ayaw mo ba sa lugar na ito?" tanong niya kaya naman hinarap ko siya.
Dapat ko bang sabihing oo? Baka magalit siya sakin at parusahan ako. Pero dapat naman talaga siyang magalit dahil tumakas ako at mali iyon, ano bang isasagot ko?
"Sige na hindi mo naman kailangang sagutin ang tanong ko. Pumunta ka na sa kwarto mo." sambit niya.
"Hindi po ba kayo galit sa akin?" tanong ko.
Napapaisip kasi ako kung bakit hindi siya galit gayong mali yung ginawa ko. Dati rati kahit wala akong ginagawang mali palagi niya akong sinesermunan. Ngayon kahit sama ng tingin ay wala akong natanggap mula sa kanya.
"Kung magagalit ba ako may magagawa ba iyon?" saglit pa siyang tumigil at "Sapat na sa akin ang makitang nakabalik ka ng maayos at walang galos. May nais ka pa bang itanong?" sambit niya.
Umiling na lang ako at nagpaalam na sa kanya. Habang naglalakad ako papunta sa aking silid ay nakasalubong ko si Mark isa sa mga batang kasama ko dito sa ampunan. "Pinagalitan ka ba ni Ms. Jackie?" tanong niya. Umiling ako at nagpatuloy sa aking paglalakad. Naramdaman ko naman na sumunod siya sa akin. "Di pa rin talaga nagbabago si Mam." pangiti-ngiti niyang sambit saka tumawa ng bahagya.
Natigilan ako sa paglalakad at humarap sa kanya. "Alam mo tulad mo tumakas na rin ako noon dito dahil ayoko ng dinidiktahan ako sa mga ginagawa ko." kwento niya. Nagsimula na siyang maglakad kaya naman sumunod ako sa kanya dahil gusto ko pang makinig sa kwento niya. "Isang buwan akong palaboy-laboy sa lansangan. Hanggang sa nakita ulit ako ni Sir Eugene." dagdag pa nito at napansin kong naging seryoso ang mukha niya.
"Takot na takot akong humarap noon kay Ms. Jackie sa pag-aakalang paparusahan niya ako ng matindi, pero mali ako." muli niyang sambit at ngumiti sa akin.
"Niyakap niya ako ng mahigpit at umiyak siya. Ang hindi ko malilimutan na sinabi niya ng araw na 'yon ay 'Natutuwa akong nakabalik ka ng ligtas, huwag mo na ulit lisanin ang lugar na ito. Hindi mo man napapansin pero itong lugar na 'to na lang ang natitira mong tahanan, at kaming narito na kasama mo ang iyong pamilya. Kaya pag umalis ka ulit parang sinabi mo na rin na ayaw mo kaming makasama, kami, na bago mong pamilya.' kwento niya sabay tapik sa balikat ko.
Kaya pala hindi siya nagalit sa akin dahil itinuturing niya ang bawat batang narito na parang mga anak niya.
"Oh saan ka pupunta? Di ba dito kwarto mo bakit babalik ka?" malakas na sambit ni Mark sa akin.
"Pupuntahan ko si Ms. Jackie, papasalamat lang ako at tinanggap niya ulit ako dito." nakangiti kong sinambit at bumalik na sa opisina ni Mam.
Nakalimutan ko na hindi nga lang pala ito isang ampunan ito na rin pala ang aking tahanan. Hindi ko man sila kadugo pero masasabi ko naman na para ko na silang pamilya.
Ang Aking Kabataan
Maglaro, maglibang at magsaya literal na nasasabi ng karamihan pag natatanong sa kanila kung anong gusto nilang gawin kapag bumalik sila sa kanilang pagkabata. Isa na rin ako sa karamihang iyon, pero ano nga ba ang gusto mong balikan sa iyong kabataan?
"MAGLARO SA LABAS O LOOB NG BAHAY"
Numero uno sa pinakagusto ko, alam kong nakakatawa pero aminin natin sa sarili natin na dito tayo unang sumaya. Nakakalibang ito at higit sa lahat dito tayo nakakabuo ng magandang samahan at nagkakaroon ng maraming kaibigan.
Naaalala ko pa nung kabataan ko madalas akong napapalo ng aking mama dahil sa inaabot ako ng gabi sa labas dahil lang sa pakikipaglaro. Ika nga ni mama "pwede namang maglaro kinabukasan, bakit pa kailangang magpaabot ng gabi sa labas?" tatawa tawa na lang ako pag naririnig ko yan kahit na napalo ako.
"MAKIPAG-AWAY KAHIT MABABAW ANG DAHILAN"
Syempre lahat pinagdaanan iyan at maniwala kayo o hindi isa ito sa mga gusto kong balikan, hindi dahil sa trip ko kundi dito ako natutong depensahan yung side na alam ko at dito rin ako natutong tanggapin ang kapalit kapag nagkamali ako.
"MAG-ARAL NG MABUTI"
Palaging pangaral ng bawat magulang sa kanilang anak gaya ng aking mama. Ang nakakalungkot nga lang hindi ko pinakinggan ang pangaral niyang ito. Ang iniisip ko kasi noon basta makapagtapos na ako ay ayos na iyon dahil makakahanap na ako ng matinong trabaho kahit di matataas ang grado ko. Hindi ko naisip na ang pagkakaroon ng mataas na grado ay hindi lang para maipagmalaki ka sa ibang tao, kundi ito ay isang pasasalamat sa lahat ng sakripisyo ng ating mga magulang.
"PAKIKINIG/PAGGALANG SA NAKAKATANDA"
Alam kong malayo ito sa iniisip niyo pero nais ko rin itong idagdag sa listahan. Sa henerasyon ng mga kabataan ngayon nabibilang na lamang sa daliri ang mga bata na may kagandahang asal. Isa na rito ang paggalang sa nakakatanda. Paano nga ba ang paggalang sa mas nakakatanda sa'yo ? Sapat na ba ang paggamit ng salitang 'PO' at 'OPO"? Hindi lang dyan mapapatunayan ang paggalang sa kanila.
Makinig ka sa bawat salitang sinasabi nila at intindihin mo ito o unawain ng maigi hindi yung tipong makikinig ka tapos labas sa kabilang tenga. Mali iyon, dapat lamang na pakinggan mo ito dahil mas alam na nila ang buhay at nais lamang nila na mapabuti ka.
Palagi mong isipin na hangga't pinapangaralan ka nila malaki ang tsansa na bagtasin mo ang tamang landas sa buhay.
"GAWIN ANG BEST MO"
Nakakatawa man pero oo kasama talaga ito sa listahan. Bakit? Kasi yan ang di ko nagawa nung kabataan ko. Kampante na kasi ako na kapag okay na sa akin sapat na iyon at di na kailangang paggugulan pa ng hirap o ng tinatawag nilang "effort". Mali iyon, kung meron ka mang gagawin na isang bagay siguraduhin mong ibubuhos mo lahat as in lahat ng alam mo lahat ng kaya mong gawin ay gawin mo. Masarap sa pakiramdam kapag natapos mo ang isang bagay na iyon na pinaghirapan mo ng sobra.
Ngayon tatanungin kita anong gusto mong balikan sa mga nabanggit sa itaas? Masaya ka ba at gusto mong balikan ang mga iyon?
