The Rising

I remember it so well-- in my early years to attempt to walk and run; and in my first time to stumble and realize the pain of bruised knees and hands— but I still don’t understand why I never cried until I saw my mom coming to get me. 



Some four years ago I vowed that for each fall I make I should see myself with a bold heart rising.

I thought that I have been thru all the most depressing and enduring turbulences in life. I thought that all looming problems are manageable and that any possible pains are bearable. Now, I feel drooping—as I have never felt before.

After making innumerable scapegoats, as I have run out of subjects and objects for my faultfinding-- I no longer know what to do.

Where does my way of life lead to?

I always knew I can make it. I always believed that every dream is at hand. There was no impossible dream for me because I believed so much in myself. I assumed I was strong and wise—almost infallible. Yet I was nothing but arrogant and stubborn. Once in my life I foresaw my future. There was a certainty of my success. I made the prediction using precise calculations—a prophecy almost. However, the future I refer to must have been happening right now. There must be wrong in something. Is there a delay in God’s blessings?

Now, where do I find my scattered pieces? And more complicatedly, how do I start putting together those fragments? I had two choices—one easy and one unimaginably difficult. I could opt to stay as I was, continue as I was, and get worsened as I was; far easier than deciding to elevate myself from the bottom by pre-requisitely finding and gathering my broken and scattered scraps.

The BIG Thing

Let’s talk about BIG things! The feature which is most obvoius with Cef are his BIG eyeswhich can see the BIG and tiny things a friend does… I’ll speak for myself and for my noise-partner G2... G1 and G2 have been this big-eyed gentleman’s constant burden for the past months (and will still be in the coming days). Our noise, annoyance and troubles have added weight to his works and personal burdens. We knew it so well that oftentimes we caused him to blow his top… and consequently almost blew up our faces… he he he he! His BIG voice Now that is real speech power! “The word of the word” “Iz et? …are just two of the signatures of this young Dan Rather. Really… it’s like watching “CBS main news” live right in front of you every time you hear him speak… But, to G1 & G2 it’s more than the modulation and volume of his voice—it’s about giving his best in everything he does… Besides, that BIG voice is the very same voice that speaks for us to advocate our welfare.

My Mom and Best Friend

Behind every man’s success is a woman… before that same man is also that same woman who shields the man from imminent adversaries. That man is the child and that woman is the mother who steps in advance to guard against the looming danger and then sits down behind him to become one of the audiences to applaud. The woman; the mother. The man; the child. I want to be the husband and father that my wife and children will be proud of. I want to be the best husband to my wife-to-be and; be the best dad to my children-to-be. It's a tough goal but I gear to be the perfect contrast of my father. When I was very young I described a family as comprised by lola, tito, tita, pinsan, ate and nanay. But when I began to attend to school and as I memorized to sing and recite nursery rhymes about family I discovered a slight difference from what I used to believe about. I was confused. But I did not mind. "Who is your father?"-- I finished my grade one as first in the honor l

Thank you

Did I say I shall thank you?  For the longest time I have never been set into my good old writing mood. Thank you. …because you have stirred up my inert passion to write. I've found myself wanting to breathe life to words and phrases again. Work has been so frustrating but not so much when your face is in my mind. Thank you …because you inspire me despite the hassles at work. In my first few months I struggled with homesickness.  Thank you …because you taught me that being happy isn’t far-fetched. During the times when I thought I was staring at nothing. Thank you …because daydreaming is now a beautiful thing to do. Thank you very much.
