A reminder from "us" to our parents. . . We appreciate what you do for us but please be sensitive enough to our emotions.  We know that almost every single thing you do is for our own good but TRUST US (yep, that won't hurt sometimes, will it?), like you, we also get hurt, tired, and burdened.  We also get hot-headed due to our OWN PERSONAL PROBLEMS.  And unfortunately, we also have hormonal imbalances.  IN SHORT, WE HAVE THIS THING CALLED "FEELINGS". Recall those times when you ask us to understand you whenever you're in the middle of those circumstances I mentioned earlier and consequently, you just expect us to be considerate enough to adjust to your needs and demands that somehow require us to exert extra effort, in one way or another. HONESTLY, WE DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT, NOT EVEN A TEENY, TINY ONE.  What we're trying to say is that we, including you and the whole mankind, can only imagine what other people are thinking and fe...

Sa pisngi ko'y pinilit humalik. Ulo'y sa balikat ko dinikit. Mga mata ko'y aking 'pinikit Inalala ko ang bawat saglit No'ng ang mga yakap pa'y mainit At hindi nalang yung tipong pilit.

Beginnings are always the most overwhelming part. . . A few years ago, I dreamed of becoming a blogger and not just a simple blogger but a very good one. The blogger that has many subscribers and who always has something to write about. But due to some limited resources, I wasn't able to pursue that dream. . .until now. Honestly, I am in the middle of writing a paper that I should've submitted yesterday so yes, you're right, it's gonna be a paper full of score deductions firstly because it is already late, obviously, and second, it is not really written that well. I find it funny, actually, that I use the time I have now to write this entry rather than to finish my school requirements. And you know what's funnier? I felt very excited and well-driven when that homework was announced to us in class! I had all the ideas that my brain could ever juice out and they were just floating inside my head! But now? Nothing's left! They are aaaaaall gone! Long gone. WHY A...
