You deserved a coffee break When I was a kid, there's never a day that I wouldn't see my mother not drinking a cup of pure black coffee. Before the dawn break, She's already sitting at our veranda with her coffee. After breakfast. 3 o'clock in the afternoon. And even in the middle of the night, I would see her finishing her work with coffee beside her. It always leaves me in confusion. I've tasted a coffee. I know what it taste like. And to a kid's taste buds, it never…

Glowing Pillars of home *Head* *Foundation* *Strength* *Provider* *Protector* *Pillar of the family* Those are just few of the adjectives that we usually describe the ***father*** of the family. Little did we know that it can also be use to depict the so called "Light of the family". I dedicate this piece for all the single mother out there. Growing up with no father beside me is a bit tough. I can't stop myself from envying other kids for having a complete family. I've…
Iron sharpens Iron As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens friend. -King Solomon When I was a child, I used to have a lot of friends. Wherever I go, I always find companions. I don't know, but I just love making friends with other people. I always wear my big bright smile back then. Of course, as a kid, I wanted to have a lot of playmates to play with me. Some of them doesn't really like me from the start but as soon as they found out that I always treat my friends,…
Asking is never wrong Unless it is asked, no one's born knowing everything. I can still remember the days where I was scared to ask questions-especially in school. I am afraid to be laughed at. Growing up in this judgemental society is never easy. At a very young age, where children should have appreciate and learn the beauty of asking, instead of laughing everytime someone ask, as if it was a joke or mistake. It must be the age where adults should highlight to them that…
Not in the mood I was just staring at my mobile phone with a blank face. I am not sure if I woke up in the wrong side of the bed today that is why I felt so bored and demotivated. But as far as I can remember, I woke up with my heart beating so fast out of excitement and hope. I even uploaded my last article few hours before midnight lastnight, due to the reason that I can't wait to upload it today. My plan was so clear, that I will create a new and more interesting article…
Run your own race *Runners don't win by focusing to other people's lane.* During my high school years, I can still remember it vividly how I panicked everytime I saw my classmates passed their test papers in our teacher sitting in her table infront of the classroom. I still got 1 hour to finish my test tho, but I cannot help myself from looking everytime one of them stands up and passed their paper. I got pressured to the point that I can't rightly answer the questions…
In a child's perspective "Tita, why are you sad?" I startle when I hear my niece speak. I thought she was still asleep. "No darling, I am not sad. Go back to your sleep. " I pretentiously smiled at her and even show my teeth. "Liar! Didn't you tell me that lying is bad? I saw you're frowning a while ago" She rolled her eyes on me. Wait! What!? "Hey, little girl! Did you just rolled your eyes on me?" "Hihi. I'm sorry tita. I just want to know why you are sad" I looked at her…

Not your typical Romeo *Stillness. Peace. Melodious bird's chirps. Crashing waves.* *I slowly opened my eyes and saw the horizon filled with an array of shades blended with red, orange, purple and yellow colors. I cannot stop myself but to be in awe with this majestic moment. It took me almost 2 minutes before I came back to my senses and realized that I've fallen asleep and it is already sunset. I rose up and looked around to find out the reason behind the sudden…

Before you give up A warrior does not give up what he *loves, he finds the love in what he does* *-Dan Millman* Okay, let's be realistic here. Giving up is the easiest thing to do. Especially, if we've been constantly experiencing a lot of failures and it seems like fate is not on our side. Actually, it is our natural initial response everytime we see that it is difficult or impossible to accomplished. We tend to lost our heart and interest everytime our first step fails.…
Why Sequoia? It was always during the first day of the class where students are obliged to introduce themselves, in order to have a lil bit background of each other. This introduction of oneself includes the name, age , birthday , mother and father's name and address, at least, these are the common things that the teacher ask usually. However, it was during my first year high school when our teacher just ask 2 things during our introduction. It is our name and the history…
