AKO ANG SIMULA NG PAGBABAGO

Ako ang simula ng pagbabago
Ako ang tutupad sa pangakong ito
Ako ang simula....

Ikaw ba ay ipinanganak noong taong 1991? Kung oo, ikaw na nga ang simula ng pagbabago... 18 ka na, pwede ka nang bumoto. Please vote wisely. Just be aware that your single vote makes a great impact on the future of our country. Your vote counts..Wag mo balewalain ang iyong isang boto sa darating na Mayo 2010....

Ang Pilipinas ay nagiging parang isang basurahan. Habang tumatagal ang panahon, nagiging walang kwenta...Unti-unti nang pumapanget ang bansa natin. At ang nagpapapanget nito ay walang iba kundi tayong mga Pilipino, tayong mga mamamayan na naninirahan sa Pilipinas. Ngunit hindi lang naman tayo...Pati sila, pati silang mga pulitiko....OO tama ako, ang mga PULITIKO na walang alam kundi mangurakot, magnakaw ng kaban ng bayan, mag-away sa senado, makipagbangayan sa kapwa nila pulitiko, magbulag-bulagan sa tunay na tungkulin ng isang "leader" at magpayaman ng todo-todo para sa sariling kasakiman...Oo, sakim talaga ang mga pulitiko...Pero hindi lahat.....Hindi lahat ng pulitiko masama....Marami pa rin namang mga matitino at hindi pa naiimpluwensyahan ng demonyo....


Ang daming kakandidato bilang presidente, sina Manny Villar, Noynoy Aquino, Eddie Villanueva, Gilbert Teodoro, at si ERAP...

Ang daming nag-aagawan para lang sa iisang pwesto.....Tayo namang mga Pilipino, boboto...Tapos, sino ba yung iboboto nilang leader?? yung kurakot......anung mangyayari sa bansa natin?? wala lang...hindi pa rin uunlad...



pero kung ako ang tatanungin, ang dapat na iboto bilang presidente ay si Noynoy.....oo, si NOYNOY AQUINO ,yung kapatid ni kris.....yung anak ni cory at ninoy.....siya kse ang pinakamatino....hindi naman siya perpekto....hindi rin siya super duper talino....hindi naman kailangang sobrang talino ng pangulo eh...okay na yung matalino...ang pinakaimportante, MATINO , yung hindi gago tulad ni GLORIA...... abnormal kase si gloria eh......malditang pangulo....

Pero lahat to, opinyon ko lang....Isang opinyon ng isang kabataan na may karapatan magsaloobin ng kanyang damdamin dahil nagsisimula nang mamulat sa mundong kanyang ginagalawan....i am fully aware of what is happenning...at ayokong maging parang basurahan ang bansa ko....


Kung ako ang tatanungin, bakit si Noynoy?? Kase ganito yan......

Para magkaroon ng isang malaking pagbabago sa ating society, kailangang may namamatay....oo, tama, may mamamatay......Way back 1987, sino ba ang namatay??? Si Ninoy Aquino diba?? Pagkatapos nun, nagkaron ng isang malawakang pagbabago....Naging presidente ang kanyang asawa, si Cory Aquino......at napabagsak ang pamahalaang Marcos....ETO ANG MALAKING PAGBABAGO, NATAPOS NA ANG MARTIAL LAW, AT MULING NAKAMIT NATING MGA PILIPINO ANG DEMOKRASYA......wala na tayo sa kamay ni Marcos.....Dahil sa pagkamatay ni Ninoy, nagkaroon ng malawakang pagbabago....


Ngayong 2009, sino naman ang namatay??? Si Cory Aquino......Edi dapat meron na uling bagong presidente katulad ng sinabi ko kanina.....At sino ang dapat na maging presidente??? Edi si Noynoy dapat......Edi magkakaron na niyan ng malawakang pagbabago......Anu yung pagbabagong yun? Pag nawala na si Gloria, magbabago na ang Pilipinas...Hindi na niya tayo mananakawan....Hindi na siya makakapangkurakot muli....

Pagka isang mahalagang tao ang nawala, magkakaroon ng pagbabago.....sa pagkamatay ni ninoy, napuksa ang martial law....sa pagkamatay ni cory, mapupuksa na kaya ang mga kasakiman at pangungurakot ng mga pulitiko?? paano?? yoon ay kapag naihalal ang pinakamatinong pangulo.....



kaya kung ako sa inyo, si Noynoy na lang ang iboboto ko....


PLEASE VOTE WISELY EVERYONE...... WE NEED A CHANGE.....A VERY BIG CHANGE.........tayo naman ang makikinabang nun eh



to all 18 and above, pakitatak naman sautak niyo ang mga katagang ito: AKO ANG SIMULA NG PAGBABAGO

PINOY BLOOD - PINOY PRIDE

mga kababayan ko, dapat lang malaman nyo, bilib ako sa kulay ko, ako ay Pilipino… -Francis Magalona

hoy, pinoy ako! buo aking loob may agimat ang dugo ko.. -Bamboo

Pilipino, Pilipino, Pilipino ang lahi ko…… - Manny Pacquiao

Hoy pare pakinggan niyo ako, heto ang tunay na Pilipino… - Black Eyed Peas

………………………………………………………………

Ilan lamang iyan sa mga kanta na nagpapakita ng nationality, patriotism, at pagmamalaki sa ating bayan…pagmamalaki sa bansang Pilipinas…Love for the Philippines. They all are filled with pride for having inherited a Filipino blood which they believe is one of the greatest among the other human races. Their palms are filled with honor each time they stand out in a crowd and witness different bloods. They are the ones to raise their hands and say proudly with their head held high “I AM A FILIPINO”. Ayon nga kay Ninoy, “The Filipino is worth dying for”.

Pero, worth dying for nga ba tayong mga Pilipino? Do we deserve to be? Well, I guess not, I guess yes. Maybe not, maybe yes. Like the artists above and Ninoy Aquino, are you also proud of the Philippines?

*Proud ka ba sa mga nagkalat na snatcher at holdaper sa Quiapo, Recto, Blumentritt, Divisoria?

*Proud ka ba sa mga masisikip na kalye, polluted na mainroads, at mga nagkalat na majongero’t majongera sa mga lamay at sakla?

*Proud ka bas a mga barumbadong tsuper ng jeep na hihinto na lang kung saan makasakay lang ng pasahero at walang pakundangan kung magmaneho?

*Proud ka ba sa mga pulubing nakahalandusay ang higaang karton sa mga tabi, unti-unting nabubutas ang mga kumukulong tiyan, at mga maliliit na batang sanay na ang mga bibig sa pambabastos at pagmumura?

*Proud ka ba sa mga nagkalat na iskwater, mga home along da riles, at mga NPA O No Permanent Address?
*Proud ka ba sa kawalan ng disiplina ng maraming Pilipino?

*Proud ka ba sa ating pamahalaan na napag-iiwanan na ng ibang bansa at sa mga lider na nasasadlak sa pangungurakot ng kaban at pang-aabuso sa kapangyarihan?

*Proud ka bas a mga mandarayang pulitiko at mga sakim na lider ng bansa?

*Proud ka ba sa mga salitang “gutom ang bayan sapagkat may GahaMAn”?

*Proud ka ba dahil ibinoto mo ang mga kurakot na mga pulitiko at mga lider-lideran ng bansa na siya ang magiging dahilan para maghirap ang buong bansa?

Mga kalahi’t kababayan, try to think of those things. Is a Filipino really worth dying for? Anong nangyayari sa bansa natin? Bakit nagkakaganito ang bansang Pilipinas? Pinabayaan mo ba? Mga kapatid, marami pang panahong natitira para magbago. Panahon na para kumilos. Kaya’t sa darating na eleksyon sa May 2010, iboto ang mga karapat-dapat na kandidato.

Tunay ngang pumapanget na ang Pilipinas. Pero despite of those deficiencies, despite of those worst negativity inheritance epidemics, the Pinoy blood is still being pumped in our veins and is still worthy to be in its place together with pride and standouts. The negativity of our race needs a change and our positivity needs enrichment and preservation.

Pinoy blood…What’s something in it that makes it worthy to be proud of? Simple lang…

*Talentado daw tayong mga Pinoy…Nagkalat ang mga world-class talents sa ibang bansa tulad na lamang nina Lea Salonga, Charice Pempengco, Arnel Pineda, Apl d’Ap of Black Eyed Peas, etc…

*Talbog tayo sa ibang lahi dahil mas masaya ang ating mga holidays tulad ng Fiesta lalong lalo na ang Pasko. Ang Pasko sa ibang bansa, parang wala lang, just like a normal weekend. Hindi katulad dito, pinaghahandaan talaga.

*Masayahin tayong mga Pinoy. Hirap na nga sa buhay, kapos na sa pera at baon pa sa mga problema, ay nakukuha pa ring tumawa, ngumiti, mag-enjoy at magsaya. The show must go on. Kung mga Hapon o mga Amerikano lang yun, malamang nag-suicide na yun.

*Hospitable daw tayo sa mga tao. Masyadong heartwarming pagdating sa mga bisita at welcoming sa mga foreign identities. And I hope, lahat naman tayo ay alam na yun.

*Mayaman ang kultura ng mga Pilipino. Maraming mga Igorot, Ita, Badjao, Mangyan, Tausug, at kung anu-ano pa…

*Meron tayong makasaysayang Vigan, Intramuros at Cebu.

*Meron ba silang kalesa, jeep, pedicab at tricycle? Wala…tayo lang ang nagpauso nun.

*Meron ba silang mga SM, MOA, Trinoma, 168, Tutuban, Quiapo, Divisoria, Robinsons? Sa ibang bansa nga sa isang city, isang mall lang eh…Eh dito sa Pinas, nagkalat na…

*Meron ba silang Banaue Rice Terraces, Mayon Volcano, Boracay Beach, Pagudpod Island, Puerto Galera, Tubbataha Reef at Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park?

*Meron ba silang Wowowee? Dying-hard ang mga foreigners dun makapasok lang sa studio ng Wowowee.

*Meron ba silang sinigang, adobo, kare-kare, nilaga, sisig, at paksiw?

*Meron ba silang kwek-kwek, pishbol, squidball, balot, kikiam, calamares, isaw, adidas, at dugo?

*Meron ba silang People’s Champ Manny Pacman Pacquiao?

Wala…Tayo lang ang may ganyan…..

Truly, a Pinoy blood is a Pinoy pride. A rectangular cloth with red, blue, and a triangular white with 3 stars and an 8-rayed sun on it keeps my blood flowing through these veins of mine. Nangingibabaw ang pride sa ating mga puso sa t’wing ang kaharap nati’y mga puti, mga blonde, mga singkit, mga kulot, mga matangos, mga blue eyes.

So, is a Pinoy blood a Pinoy pride?

short sembreak
or whatever you want to call it,....it's been a good vacation....yipee!!!

it's the perfect time to have bonding with my books!! specially with Harry! LOL....it's been 3 months since i enjoy time with them...and now 'em back....hahah..


but most specially, the perfect time to visit our dead relatives.....first destination, La Loma Cemetery..............November 1, 2009, 2:00 PM, we went to the place where numerous Homo sapiens, whose souls are already eternally living on the vast expanse of the Paradise above, left the remains of their anatomy on traditionally cemented human-sized boxes commonly known as tombs and graves having the different kinds of milli-sized creatures consumed their living cells up............. in short, we went to the cemetery, a place where many dead people are buried...........we put small tongues of fire on cylindrical masses of solids and the object slowly turns into its liquid state then solidifies once again as time expanses due to the chemical reaction occuring between the small tongue of fire and the cylindrical mass of solid wax....in short, we light up candles and waited for them to melt down....



short prayers were also offered for our dead relatives...


and of course, as my hobby everytime we go to the cemetery since my childhood days, i am still making large balls of wax......mga bolang wax....lagi akong gumagawa nun...pero ngayon, isang bola lang ginawa ko eh.....


after that, we went to the Palabokan, take-out, and ate all the delicious palabok with barbecue in our home....yipeeee sarap......


and that's all......bow........

VERITAS OF THE CENTURY by Jerico del Rosario Mahandog

I am the Man. I am the Messenger. I am the Dominican Father. I am Dominic.
I know you know who am I, whom I speak for, where I came from, but not what I intend for.
As I watch you people living your lives, I felt stiff. I felt numb. I felt sluggish. I felt awkward.
I asked myself a question so weird that goes its words like this:
Are they sick? Are they mad? Are they insane? Are they nuts?
I thought so deep.

I decided to descend from home ‘coz I want you to know, I want you to hear a VERITAS so big.
A VERITAS unknown by many.
A TRUTH that spelled its letters in bold capital and CAPS LOCK form.
A truth that was never known because we all are blind to see them.
A truth that was never known because we all are deaf to hear them.
And this is the TRUTH/VERITAS.

You all done errors still left uncorrected, bearing a mark that entrances a crowd
So here am I to amend them up
You all have hearts dirty and foul, influenced and blemished by the forces of hell
So here am I and purge them now
You all were whispered by a devil mind, pure falsehood and lies, anguish and guts
So here am I to tear them down
You all were dipped in murky waters of dim and dusk; breathing is hard in this bloodmud lake.
So here am I to get you out from there.
You all were imprisoned in a cell with Satan, you were crucified with your sins, you were vomiting your souls, you were swallowing your pride, and you were off by Satan’s germs.
So here am I to let you know them, to help you be aware of it, and to help you disinfect them.

This world is being homed by God’s masterpieces.
We people are His masterpiece.
If God is put into comparison with da Vinci, we are His Mona Lisa.
We are God’s Mona Lisa.
A Mona Lisa that was put into the hands of a 5 year old holding his crayons and pens
And the crayons colored our faces
And the pens vandalled our portraits
And the hands of the child gave dirt to the painting
The Mona Lisa was blown up away
The child messed up with us

It’s so sad……….
It’s so sad to see that a masterpiece was ruined, wrecked, distorted

That is us…..
We are a masterpiece slowly being ruined by Satan’s demons
Our hearts are being painted black
Our souls are being vandalled
These all are done by a demon
The demon’s deeds crapped the world
Their humbug brains and rubbish heads are infectious to men
The devils are toxic to the earth
They pollute our homes, poison our land, spoil the world
They were indulgent rubbish from BLOODY HELL
So here am I to depict those things
We should fight their words, reject their commands, crucify them in their cross of sins, imprison them with curses and blasphemies, hurl them our angers, and bewitch the bloodlust eyes…….

The youth!
The youth shall move…….
The youth shall work this out
The youth is gifted with mighty sense of willpower to bring henceforth His Name
The youth is oriented; oriented and woke up with modern aids of tools
Technology and Luxuries, computers and phones, the silver tools for fighting the demons
Why don’t we proclaim God’s Name through emails and Friendsters?
Be a messenger of God through Facebook and chats
Be one of His prophets through GMs and chaintexts
Follow His Commandments written at the Mount
Give love everyday not only on Christmas Day
And build a home where love rules all
Throughout those ways, the masterpiece will not be burst and popped by a crayon and a pen

The youth!
The youth is the warrior of the light
Not only the youth but also the elders, the adults, the mid-agers
We are the army of Paradise
We battle an uphill cry against the forces of the fiery inferno
We can defeat the enemy down if we all work hand-in-hand, united and wise, positive and strong
The fight and flight towards the Home of God begins its way
The ticket to the flight cost none at all
But each shall pay the Faith, Hope and Love
The road to the mansion will soon be open where the army of Paradise will take their march
The stairway to the castle on a cloud is so high, but God will help to lift us up and reach the peak of the skies
The bridge to the tower hails the warriors
And the path to His Kingdom has a fountain of destiny
Victory and honor
Triumph and success
Eternity awaits……
Luck and fortune is on our side
While God is inside us breathing life into our hearts

NATUTULOG BA ANG DIYOS???

ang sagot: HINDI

HINDI NATUTULOG ANG DIYOS……

Bakit kaya
Bakit ka ba naghihintay
Na himukin pa
Pilitin ka ng tadhana
Alam mo na
Kung bakit nagkakaganyan
Lumulutang nasasayang
Ang buhay mo
At ang ibinubulong ng
‘yong puso
Natutulog ba ang Diyos
Natutulog ba

Ba’t ikaw ay kaagad
sumusuko
Konting hirap at munting
pagsubok lamang
Bakit ganyan
Nasaan ang iyong tapang
Naduduwag nawawalan
Ng pag-asa
At iniisip na natutulog
pa
Natutulog ba ang Diyos
Natutulog ba

Sikapin mo pilitin mong
Tibayan ang iyong puso
Tanging ikaw ang huhubog
Sa ‘yong bukas
‘Wag mo sanang akalaing
Natutulog pa ang Diyos
Ang buhay mo
Ay mayroong halaga
Sa Kanya

Dapat pa ba
Na ikaw ay maghintay
At himukin pa pilitin ka
Ng tadhana
Gawin mo na
Kung ano ang nararapat
Magsikap ka at magtiwala
sa Maykapal
Nakahanda ang Diyos
Umalalay sa ‘yo
Hinihintay ka lang
Kaibigan

Sikapin mo pilitin mong
Tibayan ang iyong puso
Tanging ikaw ang huhubog
Sa ‘yong bukas
‘Wag mo sanang akalaing
Natutulog pa ang Diyos
Ang buhay mo
Ay mayroong halaga
Sa Kanya

END OF THE SONG

NATUTULOG BA ANG DIYOS?

ang sagot: HINDI

HINDI NATUTULOG ANG DIYOS……

Madalas na pumapasok ang tanong na ito sa utak ng maraming tao dahil na rin sa kanilang mabibigat na pagsubok na hinaharap sa buhay….Ang ibang tao, hindi na nila makayanan ang timbang ng mga problema na araw-araw na nagpapabigat sa kanilang mga pinapasan na nagiging dahilan para sila’y bumigay at tuluyang bumagsak mula sa pagkakatayo..

Kaya’t minsan, naiisipan nila na pinapabayaan sila ng Diyos, naiisip nila na natutulog lang Siya….Nakakalimutan na raw Niya tayo at hindi napapansin…

Pero mali ang ating mga pag-aakala….

Maling-mali….

Kailanma’y hindi Niya tayo pinabayaan….

Kailanma’y hindi Niya tayo tinulugan….

Hinahayaan lang Niya na magkaroon tayo ng kahit kakaunting hinanakit, paghihirap at kalungkutan sa buhay…

Laging tandaan: Life is like a piano..The white keys represents happiness and the black keys represents sadness….But always remember, black keys also create music…

Kelangan talaga ang paghihirap sa buhay……Parang teleserye…walang kwenta ang storya pagka walang hinanakit at pag-iyak ang bida…Kaso nga lang, minsan ay sumosobra na sa hirap…..There’s always a reason for everything….Minsan ay hindi natin nararamdaman si God sa tabi naten…Alam niyo kung baket?? Kase, pag hindi natin Siya nararamdaman, ibig sabihin, panahon na para hanapin natin Siya…Gusto kasi ni God, matuto tayong humingi ng tulong sa Kanya….Yung iba kase kinakalimutan Siya…pa-easy easy lang…

Kaya ang ginagawa ni God, binibigyan Niya tayo ng hirap at sakit sa kaluluwa…Sa huli naman, marerealize naten na kaya pala ganun ay dahil gusto lang Niya na tinatawag naten Siya, kinakausap, hinihingan ng tulong at pinasasalamatan……

Tatlo lang naman ang dahilan ng paghihirap eh…

1.Marami kasing tamad na tao…Hindi nagsisikap sa buhay…Kaya ang epekto, mahirap sila…

2.Kelangan talaga yan sa buhay….Gusto ni Lord na maging matatag tayo…Ang buhay kasi, parang Mathematics…gagaling ka sa pagsosolve ng mahihirap na problems kapag maraming problems na ang binigay sayo at lahat yun ay natutunan mo nang isolve step-by-step…

So, para maging magaling tayo sa pagsolve ng mga problems sa buhay at para maging matatag ang loob naten, binibigyan Niya tayo ng mga problems at konting hirap sa buhay….

3.Gusto kasi ni Lord, palagi Siyang tinatawag…Gusto Niya na hindi natin Siya makalimutan…Gusto niya lagi na pasalamatan natin Siya dahil sa dinami-dami ng palagian Niyang binibigay saten…Eh ang mga tao kase, nakakalimutan Siya, hindi Siya naaalala, at minsan, binabalewala pa…

Ang tugon naman ni God “Oh eto ngayon ang sa’yo…Maghirap ka…Kinalimutan mo kase ako eh….Lahat ng iyan nanggaling saken tapos hindi ka man lang magpasalamat…Pero hindi naman ako magbibigay ng napakahirap na problema na hindi mo kaya pagdaanan…Kaya mo rin yan..Para sa huli, marealize mo na naghihirap ka dahil nakakalimot ka…” Syempre naman masasaktan si Lord….Kung ikaw magbigay ng regalo sa taong sobrang mahal mo tapos ni hindi ka man niya pinasalamatan, sinabihan ng Thank You, or inalala…..Syempre diba masasaktan ka…..Ganun din si Lord…..

Kaya ang solution, magsipag at magdasal……..

Ang Sarap Bumalik sa Pagkabata

parang ang bilis ng oras nuh…
dati mga bulinggit pa lang tayo…
grade 1 lang ako dati eh tapos 3rd year na…

Life is like a.....

This is the Top 10 comparisons of life according to my own insights...hoping to inspire you all guys...

1.PIANO… the white keys represents happiness; while the black ones represents sadness… But always remember, black keys also create music…

2.FILM… we’ll decide what scene to happen next… we’ll make the script based on our own frustrations, experiences, opinions, insights, ideas and emotions.. We can’t perform the film all alone. So, we”ll invite other good actors to join in to make the movie more thrilling and more colorful… We’ll decide what the ending will be; either sad or happy.

3.CINEMA… No matter how great and excellent the movie is, people will then leave at the end of the movie.Yes, they will leave. But, they will never forget the story IF they had liked it or IF they had a desire to watch it over and over again. So, if you want the viewers not to forget your movie, try to make your story good…

4.TREE… When a seed is given a tender loving care, it will grow and grow until it reached its full height, until it reached its full goal. When care and love truly never fades, the tree will surely outstand the other trees. It will also undergo pain by losing its leaves.. it is painful to lose a part of your body. But then, if you lose one, another will still grow. you’ll let go of the another and rebuild the another.. that’s how our life goes.. The only sign that a tree is really successful and had reached its goal: when it blooms its flowers and bears a fruit.

5.ROLLER COASTER…The roller coaster experiences twists-and-turns and ups-and-downs…turn to the left and turn to the right.. Try to observe its movement… It goes up the hoop instantly. Then, it also goes down instantly. Instant success. Instant Downfall. In just a short minute of time, success all at once came.. But in a short minute of time, failure will also come on our way…

We need to strive hard to reach our goal, to reach our success.. But then, if your victory just came all at once, it will also go away all at once. Again, instant success, instant downfall…

Whenever we are near to the top, the people screams and shouts. Why? Because being on the top is the most exciting part of the ride.

6.GUITAR… Your strings should be pressed down hard by the fingers. Your strings also oftentimes experiences scratches done by the fingernails while strumming. But behind all these little pains, press-downs, and scratches, I’m 100% sure that you’ll make your music good.

7.FOOD… The hungry man will have a great desire to eat you if your insides are soft and weak. Very yummy and chewy.. But the hungry man will just leave you on the top of the table uneaten if they knew that your insides are strong and hard… So, as a food, our insides (heart and soul) must be strong enough so that the hungry man will not dare to eat us…

8.BALLOON… The balloon is free to fly upward..No one is stopping it.. No one is guiding it.. But then, the balloon will regret at the end. He will find himself bursted and popped in the sky…Why did the balloon popped? Because no one stopped it from flying up to the highest portion of the sky…The highest portion of the sky is dangerous… So, we all need a companion in life to guide us and we should listen to its voice… Otherwise, we’ll get popped at the end.

9.PANTS… We should hold tight to our Master… We should embrace tightly on his waist… Otherwise, we will fall…

10.MOON….. There is always a time for us to shine…And that shining moment will only come true if we know how to seek help from our friend Sun… A moon only get its light from the sun…As a moon, we will not shine if we will not consult for Mr. Sun’s help…And if we befriend him, we will absolutely shine even in times of the darkest nights.

a life once lived

A LIFE ONCE LIVED

(THE ORIGINAL, NOT THE FAKE)

“Life is like a coin. You can spend it everywhere you want and trade it for anything you want. But remember; you can only spend it once.”

-Anonymous

Bio, buhay, life… Being alive, having a life or living in reality is the best thing everyone had got. Life is the best gift that each man has received more than his birthday and more than a Christmas.

Just imagine how excellent life is. Out of 400 million sperm cells, you’re the one who survived. The other 400 million sperms had just died on a simple way while you, a fully-developed human, a very gifted person, was given the chance to step your foot in this land, was given the chance to drink the waters from the sea, was given the chance to breathe the most fresh air; and was given the chance to live. Yes, we are all lucky… We are all blessed… God chose me, you and us to catch a glimpse of nature. He just let the other 400 million die just for your sake, just for a person like you. See??? We are all special because God chose us to live out of 400 million. We are all lucky… Aren’t we?

A life can be only lived once… We are not like Mario whose life is numbered up to three or a cat whose lives can extend up to nine. Humans have only one precious life; a precious life that should be kept inside a treasure chest as if it was a gold; a precious life that might bring a hundredfold and a precious life that has a mission to be accomplished. That is the main reason on why we are living; to accomplish our great mission. No one knows what our mission here on Earth is, only you and God alone.

A life can only be lived once… No replays and no rewinds. Walang balikan, walang bawian. You can never bring time back again. You can never rewind your life back.

When you grow older, when your hair turns white, I’m pretty sure that you will then realize how happy you are back in your school days. You will say to yourself:

“I want to be back in Elementary, in High School, in College. I want to sit again on my chair where I wrote my name, eat in the canteen, play with my classmates, write on the blackboard, see my crush, open my locker and experience the feeling of seeing a “90” or an “80” in my card.”

But that’s so impossible.

So, as you’re still standing beneath the floors and grounds of Dominican School, while you can still see the pure blue paint in the walls, just try to treasure every second and every minute of the day; just think that every moment is a happy moment; just think that there’s no thing such as a “sad experience”. This will only happen once and the time is near when you will leave.

The time is near when you will leave the Dominican School, where you spent your time growing and maturing from preschool to High School, where you spent your time playing, making new friends, studying for a later exam, standing in front of the class for a report, falling in line during the morning assembly and getting yourself into trouble. We will miss all of that.

The time is also near when you will leave this world. Yes, it’s scary but that’s true. Life is so short. You’ll never know when, where and how you will die.

I am writing this column not because to make you feel scary due to the nearing of death’s arrival. But, I’m writing this to inspire you, to make you appreciate your own life. I just wanted a reader, like you, to treasure your life and make your lifestory the best story you can create. At such times, we are making a kind of film wherein we ourself is the main character. And you will decide what scene to happen next.So better stop your bad habits, change for the better and write your own storybook to be published in each person’s heart. Truly, this is how life is. This is how life will be lived… A life once lived…
