To See Me

In a crazy world of instant and haste, 

would you take time to see me inside?

Loosing my Colors

Now that I've lost all my pretty hues, 

would you still look my direction?

Learning at Play

What you learn at play, 

you'll carry them through life.

Generosity and Self-preservation

I want to give light but not like the candle. I don't want to loose myself in the process... Generosity and self preservation should be allowed together.

City Lights

Thank the night for giving spotlight to the city lights.

Due Recognition

In recognizing effort, our goal should not be about giving everyone an award;

Rather to award only those who deserve it.

What Defines You

Your profession cannot conceal your true form;

Nor can it define who you really are.

Your actions can.

            There was this man who hurriedly clung to one of the bars attached to the entrance of the jeepney I was riding. The driver motioned him to get inside as there was still space for him. He then murmured that he may not fit the available space because no one moved to give him the space. But the driver insisted so he got in. The man opposite to me was unaware of what was going on because he was sound asleep. To my surprise, he shoved the man's left knee so hard while saying in a shouting manner, "Isdog ui!" (Scoot over).

            He didn't stop yapping. He really had a lot to say. He even said "Nagkaminos ka nako? Dili tawn ko basta-basta lang, propesyonal ko. Niretire na lang jud ko sa akong trabaho. Engineer ko."...wait, that's quite a lenghthy translation.... Let me encapsulate it. (I am not a nobody. I am a retired professional Engineer.)... I was like, hello nobody's asking. 

            Going back to the man beside the annoying blabbermouth. He was really shocked not to mention confused as to why there is a man beside him so enraged. All he could say was, "Naunsa ka, natug raman ko diri?" (What's going on, man, I'm sleeping here.) Before he could say more the annoying blabbermouth went on to his seemingly endless rounds of conceit.

            Up until now, I still ask myself what's with him. What's his problem? Is he really that desperate for attention? Has no one ever recognized him as an engineer before that he really needs everyone to know who he was. Can he just ask politely? It's a public ride after all. Worse, he said he is a professional. He is educated? Really? Educated?

                 

Growing Like a Tree

Just because you see me on the same spot each year.

Doesn't mean I have not grown an inch.

Remember that no tree has ver walked the earth.

Yet it has reached certain heights and has borne fruits.

         We tend to judge people because of where they are and what their positions are. We judge them because they have not passed our basis of growth or success. I mean, seriously, who made you the "success meter"?

         People must be judged (if there need be) according to how well they play their roles and not just because of their position. We have roles to play and the question should be, "How well have we played each one of them?".

NOTHING BUT A PRETTY FACE

If you think you are nothing but a pretty face, think again.

              No one should never underestimate a  pretty face. In as much as one should not feel so little because she thinks she is not smart enough nor good enough and the only thing she has is that beautiful face.

                If a beautiful face is what you possess then you have a lot to do in this world. You have a lot to inspire; to make smile; to uplift; to listen to..... and the list goes on. You can never be JUST a pretty face.

Passionate Dreamers

There are no small dreams, only little passion.

              Do not underestimate your dreams because no matter how small you think they are, they can still become exceptional not because you have extraordinary dreams but because of the extraordinary passion you put into it.
