                    Hindi mo alam kung kailan darating sa iyong buhay ang iyong mga kaibigan. Nakilala ko siya sa palaruang nasa tabi ng aming tirahan. Tumatangis siya dahil nabitawan niya ang mga lobo at ngayo'y nakasabit sa mga sanga ng puno. Inakyat ko ito at ibinalik sa kanya ang mga lobo. Kami'y lumaking magkasama, doon sa ilalim ng puno sa may palaruan.                     Hindi mo alam kung kailan kang matututong magmahal. Sabay kaming nag-aral sa Pasig High school. Ako'y nagbinata, at siya'y nagdalaga at saka ko nalang natuklasan na nahulog na pala ako sa kanya. Isang araw, pinapunta ko siya sa palaruang aming pinupuntahan. Inamin ko sa kanya ang aking nararamdaman at tinanggap niya ako, doon sa ilalim ng puno sa may palaruan.                     Hindi mo malalaman ang tamang panahon, kung wala kang tapang. Pareho...

I mean, sometimes you just really like to see stuff burn. Fire, as dangerous as it is, is very important for human survival and progress. No matter how much technology changes over the years, one thing is for sure: our fascination by this chemical reaction would never fade.

Shade under the tree Sometimes, you just have rest under the shade of a tree, and reminisce. It is one of the best things to do if you just want to take a short break. Think of all the good stuff. Remember all the sufferings you have gone through. Think of all the blessings and memories that you have, and be grateful for that.

  Who am I really?             I am what I am. Many may percieve who I am, or assume that I am. Though they may be right, only I have been blessed to know who I am for I own this body and I am created into this body, and this creation is me. Only I could know what it truly means to be me. I have a name, I have a family, I have a life, but only my faith defines who I am, and who I could be; kind yet just; good but not of the people. I constantly change and transform. No matter what form I will take, I will only be one and would always be one, which is myself: the person who God planned me to be. What am I really scared of?             I dread that I may repeat the same mistakes again. I fear that because of my lack of thought and a surplus of forgetfulness and pride, I could lose somebody I love, and disapoint them, especially towards God whom I love the mos...

            Natagpuan ko ang aking sarili sa ilalim ng dagat. Hindi ko matanaw ang lalim nito. Pinilit kong lumangoy tungo sa ibabaw, ngunit sa bawat kumpas at galaw ay lalo akong lumulubog. Sumuko na lamang ako, at hinayaan kong lamunin ako ng kailaliman ng dagat.                Doon ako nagising.             Dumating nanamang muli ang umaga. Ang init ng araw ay dumadaplis na sa aking mga paa. Napabuntong-hininga ako habang bumabangon at sinuot ko ang aking mga tsinelas. Tila hiwalay ako sa katawang ito ngunit ang alam ko na lahat ng mayroon ako noon ay naglaho nang walang anu-ano. Nilisan ko ang aking kwarto at hinayaan ko nang tumakbo ang daloy ng buhay: naligo, kumain, nag-ayos, naghanda na para sa pagpasok sa paaralan. Kinuha ko ang aking mga gamit at lumabas na sa bahay tungo sa eskuwela.         ...

As you venture out into the sea of information, take all necessary precaution. Make sure that you truly are protected. False security makes you blind on what could come out and take away the things you value the most. Be safe. I scanned my doodle and added colour digitally.
