DON'T QUIT

When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile but you sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest,if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow-
You may succeed with another blow.
Success is failure turned inside out-
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit-
It's when things seems worst that you must not quit.


The author of that poem is unknown.I had just found it from the back part of my old notebook.Thanks to the author whoever you are.I promise to myself not to quit from any thing..

WHAT IS TRUE LOVE?

In this week, I'm so "kinikilig" while watching My Binondo Girl.I'm watching two people where their feelings are getting deeper and deeper as days passed. But I was bothered by the question " What is true love?

For me....

True love begins when you suddenly become mystified
When you wake up every morning ang you have a smile on your face
When you hear his voice and you feel like heaven
When you feel ashamed as if you're eating messy stuff like fish ball
When you dream dancing with him
When you call him up and you guide the conversation by an outline you made
When you lose your pride because of your love for him
When you can't put into words what you feel and your left speechless.

 Do you think of these superficial.....here's more....

When you run instead of walk
When you stand instead of sit
When you stumble instead of stand
When you give instead of receive
When you have the capacity to heal instead to inflict hurt
When you feel absolutely beautiful instead of ugly.

When you have the gift of x-ray vision
When you feel and perceive things beyond the layers of skin
It's when you  see God's reflection in the mirror.....
That's true love....

I know that everyone has the knowledge to make his own meaning of true love...
Try to make your own....

KICKED BY THE COW

Early this morning, about six o' clock, my father asked me to buy a candle in the sari-sari store.He is used to light a candle every morning. I also bought my favorite candy "Haw Haw". When I'm on my way home, I noticed that the plastic contains a picture of a cow. Then, memories of my unforgettable experience came back.

It was Saturday, October 22, 2011. It is already a week from now. I went to my cousin's house to do my module in Araling Panlipunan. Their house is somewhat isolated. There are few houses in their place and you can count the number of houses there. Before I arrived in their house, I passed on the fishponds.

I finished late. When my younger sister and I were about to go home, we noticed that our slippers were bitten by the dogs. We repaired our slippers to avoid hassle while walking. We became more late in going home.

We were about to finish passing the fishponds when I noticed that there is a cow on the end of it. The cow ate some grasses. The owner of the cow was there and he is just watching his cow. I told him to get his cow out of our way because there is a tendency that we might fell from the water. But he did not listen.My younger sister made the first move. She passed through the very side to avoid the cow. She succeeded. And next was my turn. Before I moved, I joked myself that the cow will kicked me. But I made up my mind by thinking that the cow will never touch me. The cow didn't hurt my younger sister so it will never hurt me, too. I pass to the very small space carefully. I made my move without touching any part of the body of the cow. Unfortunately, the cow kicked me. I almost fell from the water. I was thankful that there is a tree near me so I held my hand there. The owner of the cow and my younger sister laughed at me. And I joined them laughing. I laughed myself because it is really fun to be kicked by the cow. And I'm not hurt.

When we arrived home, the angry face of my grandmother welcomed us. Then, she preached us.

When I came home, my father saw me smiling. He even asked if I am going crazy. I just told him that remember something -something funny.

Cows are not harmful. They just know on how to understand people. Maybe, the cow understood what I said before passing. Maybe, the cow thought that I like to be kicked. Try to be  kicked by the cow! It's really fun!

SILENCE!!!!

As I stay in the house, non-ending litany is what I always hear. Perfectionist parents never gave up on addressing me what should I be or what should I do. So, there are times that I put something on my ears to avoid hearing those repeated words they had. Sometimes, they laugh out loud as if no one is affected. Outside the house are my neighbors-neighbors who can be labeled as the "gossip monger of the town". I always hear them talking of nonsense. In the school, I always expect that there would be noise. i can't do anything to stop them. Whenever a student starts a conversation,  others follow. But they seldom follow the teacher when she says SILENCE!!!

In this week, I gonna be tired of reviewing my notes.But i'll be more tired of saying SILENCE!!!

If I say this to you, would you listen?
