Summer Reads

Simula na ang summer! Di ba sabi ko lang na ayaw ko ng summer? OO, pag walang magawa. Ganun ang nangyari last year. May cycle ang araw ko na paulit-ulit buong summer. Bihira lang ang may kakaibang mangyari. Dapat last year makikilahok ako sa Earth Hour, isang event na papatayin ang lahat ng ilaw sa isang bong oras para kahit papano maisalba ang mundo sa lumalalang Global Warming. Wala e nakalimutan ko. Napanood ko na lang sa news na “Ay! Tapos na pala.” Ngayong taon, inulit ang Earth Hour. Pinatay ko lang ang ibang ilaw kasi hindi puwedeng lahat ipatay sapagkat mayroon ankong kapatid na sanggol. Medyo mababago na din siguro ang aking summer ngayon. Umuwi ang mga kamag-anak naming galing abroad. Eto ginagamit ko ang isa sa mga padala nilang laptop. Bumili rin ako ng libro ni Bob Ong, Stainless Longganisa at pinadalan din ako ng Twilight. Mayroon din silang inuwing Eclipse, Breaking Dawn at New Moon na para kay Ate. Hindi naman ako mahilig sa Twilight. Hindi ako mahilig bumili ng mga sikat, foreign at mahal na libro. Pero pwede na din yun. Atleast may libangan.

The Simple Things

I am not a big dreamer. I only aspire for the simple things. As simple as, climbing a tree or sleeping underneath the stars. I aslo dream of walking in Muntinlupa by night. To see what the city streets are alike at dark. For those simple things, I’d be ecstatic if they came true. I may be a deep thinker but a simple dreamer. I am inspired by the little things. I enjoy a few moments of happiness. That’s all I’d ever want joy, laughter and happiness. Nothing else. Happiness give us more than what we expect. Maybe through joy we find peace, through happiness we find love and by laughter we find satisfaction and freedom. Never in my life I dreamt of being rich and famous. I only want the simple things. I don’t really need much. I just really want to be happy.

I am also a risk taker. I can accept consequences. I don’t know but I used to be a coward. I used to go the easier way. Now, I want to work hard to get what I want even though there may be an easier way. Though, I want to do it myself. I get satisfied when I achieve things on my own even though I’m usually a failure. But I will not give up!

Bob Ong’s Wise Words

Sa una, akalaing mong kalokohan lang pero read it and understand. May sense ito at ito ang katotohanan.

“Hindi ko naman hiniling na maging akin ka, ang sakin lang MAGING SAYO AKO.”

Enough said.

“Walang taong manhid. Hindi niya lang talaga maintindihan kung ano ang gusto mong iparating dahil ayaw mo siyang diretsuhin”

People misunderstood me. Sabi niyo manhid ako. I’m werid. I don’t directly express what I feel. Naiinis na ko, nakangiti pa rin. Seryoso pero hindi naman galit, inaantok lang. Akala niyo minsan hindi ako nag-bibiro pag nag-bibiro lang ako. Kapag hindi na ko nag-bibiro, ayaw niyo naman ako seryosohin. Difficult? YES! Sa inyo naman… Huwag mo naman kasi ako pag-hulain ko anong nararamdaman mo. I’m not phsycic. Akala mo tuloy manhid na ko.

“Dalawang dekada ka lang mag-aaral. Kung ‘di mo pagtityagaan, limang dekada ng kahirapan ang kapalit. sobrang lugi. Kung alam lang ‘yan ng mga kabataan, sa pananaw ko ehh walang gugustuhing umiwas sa eskwela.”

Oh so TRUE! Kaya aayusin ko na talaga. Pero kailangan din natin ngayon ng diskarte. Hindi na sapat ang diploma. Sana naman ma-realize ng mga classmate ko na mag-rerepeat ng first year na importante ang pag-aaral at hindi ito pinupulot kung saan. Pinag-hihirapan yan. Mag-sikap naman kayo next year. TUmulong kayo sa parents niyo kahit papano.

Nocturnal

Here I am, again. Awake in the night. I certainly think I have more energy at night than at day. What am I nocturnal? Or a relative of Edward Cullen??! HAHA. No, I’m not a fan of Twilight. I love the night. I hate the day. Especially waking up. I usually get 6-7 hours of sleep everyday. I sleep excessively during weekends, around 9-11 hours. 9 to 11 hours may be regular sleep for you, for me that’s excess. I feel cranky in the day and desire for sleep. I love to go to sleep during Social Studies and Filipino period. But no need for that. It’s summer. And my how I hate summer. Summer heat and summer fun are both not my thing. I hate vacations. I’d be usually doing nothing and bored. Really nothing to do??? for 2 months?? OHH KILL ME! That was last year’s summer… I hope this year’s summer would be great somehow. I still hate summer though.

I am an Owl

It’s already dark. This afternoon, we went to Filinvest. Before you get to Filinvest, you need to ride a few jeeps and pass by a few barangays. At around 6-9 pm, you’ll still find alot people in the streets, almost heavy traffic in Alabang, street lights shining and again alot of people.

When we got home, here in our quiet at night subdivision, you’d only hear the bustling cars on the a bit far national highway. I went out to the terrace and I saw a very dark and quiet night. I feel the wind blowing into my face and a full moon shinig brightly though I couldn’t see it. I thought about it and I think I could stay up all night just to stare at the night sky.

The night sky is a time of peace. Everyone else is sound asleep. I’m usually the last person to go to sleep at this house. I love the night. I can almost freely do everything I want. I can thunk undisturbed. Disturved by people telling you what to do, what to think, asking you questions you can;t answer, giving you tasks you couldn’t accomplish. All that is very stressing. It drives me crazy. It’s everywhere I go and any time of the day. So that is why the night is my time. My freedom. I’d rather not go to sleep because I want to do things I can’t do in the day. I find serenity and I am calm at night.

Freedom Writing

On this blog, I shall express my opinions, my feelings, or possibly everything. I will express myself no matter what! That’s why I changed the title to “Freedom Writer.” I am exercising my rights. Kaya kung may naalala ka pa sa inaral mo sa Social Studies, karapatan natin ito… Rigth to Freedom of Expression. Hmm.. Meron naman ding Right to remain silent pero mas maganda kung nilalabas natin di ba???

You also might notice that I’m writing in Taglish(Tagalog-English). It’s easier to write in Tagalog. Though I will write in Englidh too. I just want my blog to be easier to understand. Some words are also hard to translate in English.
