Concealed Sentiments

In my own opinion, young people (or shall I say the millennials) nowadays are so concerned about their "status". They tend to fret if they are single while their friends are "in a relationship". Some may settle for "no label" relationships just to have someone. I do not want to sound condemning or judgmental but I really hope and pray that these young individuals must seek what is beyond their current "status". Jollibee, a famous fast food chain here in the Philippines, launched this year's Valentines video campaign. I think this is timely for the people who are seeking for love to reflect that they true happiness does not only come if you find a boyfriend or a girlfriend. True happiness comes from loving your self and from loving the people around you, your family.  

Last night, my cousin mentioned about "Letters To God" movie. Out of curiosity, I searched it on Google right away. I found out that it was a story of a young boy who's suffering from cancer and how he's life touched the lives of other people, young and adult. I watched the movie immediately and as I expected I shed a bucket of tears. I was ashamed of myself. The boy in the movie had a great faith. I believe in God but often times I stumble and falter. No matter how hard I try to make the right things, I ended up as a loser. Hate overwhelmed me and I can't trust other people anymore. Maybe, I was traumatized and got tired of everything that I've been through. So after watching the movie, I examined myself. How much do I trust God? Have I given Him all that I have? I always pray to God and ask Him for guidance but most of the times, I'm doing the things my way. And that's because of lack of faith. I admired the boy in the movie because of his outloo...

In the past few weeks, something "big" happened in my life. I lost the love of my life. He's not dead, he just asked me to let him go and so I did. What would you do if the person you loved the most asked you to stop loving him? I panicked when I heard what he said over the phone. We've been together for almost 9 years. Even though we had sad times, we also had a lot of wonderful memories. In fact, we are planning to get married! He had some reasons why he came up with that decision and I respect that even if it pained me so much. To those who happened to read this post, please pray with me. Let's pray for a miracle! I know that I don't have the power to override his decisions. But, I know that there is One who is holding our lives in His hands. I am just human but I have a powerful God who can make all things possible. Yesterday, when I was about to give up. God provided a friend who can comfort me. During our conversation, my friend encouraged me to hold...

Being away from someone you love is not easy. It is true that you can still enjoy the beauty of life without them but life will be more meaningful when they are by your side. Life will continue to go on but you will always miss them. However, the moment you'll realize that they were already gone, you have no choice but to pick up the broken pieces. As you think of them, you'll be find the strength to live. Even though it hurts, believe the things will be better soon. After the 40-minute phone call with my boyfriend, I realized that I terribly missed him. I was suddenly on an "emo" mode and kept wishing that he was here with me. I can totally relate with Owl City's Vanilla Twilight. The stars lean down to kiss you And I lay awake and miss you Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere 'Cause I'll doze off safe and soundly But I'll miss your arms around me I'd send a postcard to you, dear 'Cause I wish you were here I'll watch the night turn light bl...

In this late-twenties age, I should have grown up and let go of my childhood fantasies. Perhaps, those who have the same age as mine would agree that no matter how we embraced our dreams, we ended up acting upon only some of them. However, I could not keep myself from succumbing to my childhood dreams and memories. It seemed like I did not want it to slip away. It felt like I am still hanging on to the last little piece of the past. Somehow, there is a little child inside of me who don’t want to let go of the simple fun and happy memories back when my life was still careless and free. There are times when I am convincing myself that Earth turns slowly even when in reality, life is so fast. I want to stay as a kid because life is so much better and my imaginations seemed so real when I was young. Now that I am older, I can just dream those memories away and run after the life filled with wonder and hope and plain joy. It’s like chasing fireflies! This song from Owl City is dedicated to ...
