All I do is love. It may sound sappy, cheesy and corny, but it is true. I love the sceneries I look upon everyday and every night. I love the people I am with, I love the strangers I see and meet, I love every breath that I take in this ephemeral life. Why? Because it is the only thing that cannot make this world implode, it is the only thing that can convey hope, it is what it is. Whatever faults...

“I will never stop trying. Because when you find the one, you never give up.”
– Cal (Crazy, Stupid, Love)
A love written in cursive, a stunning form of writing, a well-versed story in a very clever and humorously-constructed plot. A comedic kind of love written by the people who had their hearts broken, why? That is because they know the feeling of being left chopped, broken, and screwed with a hint of seasoning here and there. Yes, a love story written by emotionally-demented bastards. How ironic,...

I saw her now, under the bright blue moon, upon the brink of falling to the ground from the ten-story tower that she was locked in by the wicked witch of the west. I saw her long-golden hair, her face was a symphony of distraught and depression. Yes, she was the one I was looking for, she was the reason that I rode my horse for three nights, she was my damsel in complete distress that I want to...

No matter what you say, no matter what you do, no matter how you would contradict it, we are living a fast life. Everyday, we are stuck in a metaphorical treadmill that goes faster every time that we wake up. Sometimes, we do not accept the fact that as we grow older, we have things in our silver platter that are becoming more and more important. That is part of life, to evolve. Why do you think...

Hey, you! Yes, you! I just wanted to blabber about the one thing that you do not know, presuming of course. We could be astronauts, we could be giants, we could be men who would never stop flying. We could be flowers, we could be sunlight, we could be towers with remarkable height. We could be lovers, we could be flings, we could be bees without the stings. We could be sorrow, we could be flight,...

THE MAGICIAN, THE ALCHEMIST, THE IMMORTAL.
Have you ever thought of living in a world full of magic? The ones that you read in books with facades of blissful colors? The ones that old people hummed in your ear when you wanted to fall asleep? The tales that you friends told you when you were a mere child? Yes, those are examples of magic. Those are the ones that reality has extinguished. Those are the ones that he wanted to remove from his...

As I turn twenty-one today, I reckon stepping out of the realm of teens last year was amazing. Being twenty made me more responsible in everything that I do, in the things that were given to me, and in the work that I acquired myself. With that said, being twenty was good, I achieved more dreams than I expected, more people to love, and more time to live.
Now that another year is added to my age,...

The trees teach me to stand tall, in devastating storms or scorching heat. I see trees as colorful individuals, I see them as tough, resilient, and full of wisdom. The young are pure and unscathed, the old are strong, wise, and beautiful. They know where to look for their needs, they protect the ones that they love, and they do not fail to inspire writers, painters, and artists. Trees are...

As he was about to put on his three-piece suit, he wondered what could this night give to him. The trickle of complex questions started as the pieces of intricate patterns of his necktie complimented the vest he just bought from the nearby Armani store. Yes, he looked sleek enough to shadow 007’s formal debonaire. His two-door jet black car just made his bravado rocket past the glimmering...

As I look around beyond the four corners of my mundane room, as I look up and wish for something profound to come down from the heavens, I reckon I do feel incomplete. We all feel that at some point in our lives, right? Even I who has been perceived as the kid who knew what to do when it comes to the generalization of life, I do feel that emotion. I am human, yes? My mind is open, my body is in...

I learn, that is the most important thing life has taught me. It slaps me if I forget even for a minute, it slaps me with downtrodden scenes, breaking my heart into pieces, and kicks my ass for dessert. Always listen to the signs that every moment gives, see everything, feel anything uncommon, and comprehend. I learned it the hard way, I learned it the long way, I learned it in the latter part of...

I ask a simple question: Why do you want to be successful? For yourself? For your family? For God? For your friends? To prove something? These are just ordinary reasons. Do not take me wrong, I admire the when people say these things, I love them when they say everything. At least I know what fuels them, what drives them, what feeds their dreams.
When you are at the top, when you become number...

I try to write the words, but I fear that I may falter. I try to write the thoughts, but I am scared that it would not matter. Sometimes, the words in my head build themselves fantastically and in an orderly fashion, but my mouth seems to depict jargon and gibber. How I wish I was still the speaker in this dream. More than the simple and the subtle, with this little voice, can I cut though the...

I gaze upon this moon and I do not know where to start. She seems silly tonight, so surreal, indeed. She looks at me with a comical sigh, saying that I was too funny to be watching her tonight. Then, she smiles that Cheshire smile, I deduce that she was letting me know that everything’s going to be alright. I know this is a Tim Burton kind of night.
The dark sky’s creatures came to...

She was beautiful. A soul living freely without inhibitions, a wandering flower whose care was only for the ones that she loved the most. She was magnificent in her own way, every time she radiated that uncommon smile, every one smiled with her, every time that she moved, she moved like a little kid in a hurry. That was cute. My dear cousin, you will be missed. Truly, from the depths of these...

I am a gentleman, I promise to be all the time, for you and for other people. I will be one when a door not only needs to be open, but also when your heart comes to a closing. I will be there at your side to hear about your worries and anxieties, I will be there to make you smile and say that everything will be alright, and I will be there to buy you a tub of ice cream for both of us. Yes?
I will...

Deadlines, errors, failures, and mistakes, thank you for letting me learn the lessons that I needed to elevate myself to the place that I want to be in. Grateful that the sweat that drizzled down my face was worth every drop. The tears that held the memories of pain, heartbreak, frustration, and being downtrodden are held in a black box and will be thrown out the window to be forgotten, but not...

To learn what a thing is made of is simple. To learn what a person truly is, that is more complex than theoretical science.The mere fact that you can look at someone’s eyes and it can portray a thousand feelings at once is outstanding, it can lift your spirit away or it can break your heart in an instant, and it can also be a riddle that transcends the numerous puzzles of time itself. Those...

In my perspective, I am looking at a treasure, as priceless as the lost gold and glitter in the depths of the seas and the diversity of the skies. Pertaining to a woman who caught my heart in a glimpse, trapped in her gaze, wishing that one day I am the only one that she will be looking at. Hoping that I will be the one who will hold her heart, praying dearly to the heavens that I will be given a...

She has been running around in the depths of my dreams, the way her smile emancipated the enamored feelings that I thought I would not conjure. This intrigues me like a paparazzi waiting for a shot. Her laugh makes a heavenly sound that wakes up the sweetest of angels in their deepest of slumbers, her laugh that is more of a symphony than a one-struck note, her laugh that simply makes me smile....

I write these simple words under a bright, blue sky. I write these subtle letters for I am happy that I am breaking away from all the troubles of my present life. I write this with a cup of coffee waiting for me downstairs, with words from the parents on what shall I do, and maybe a glass of taho or two. I write these words for a purpose that I may not know for now, but I write these words because...

OF ROSES AND RED
As the arguably most-awaited season of lovers and couples ends with a bloated tummy caused by handfuls of chocolates, and maybe a trifecta of kisses here and there, I bid a warm evening to the ones who do not have a date to begin with. The day of hearts fluttering by, the sweet-kissed smiles appear in every corner, and the romance is at its highest peak tonight, why pout?
I reckon the beauty of...

I will always love a lady who appreciates jazz. It would just be a bonus if she loves it as much as this kid does. Whenever she cries a sigh of pleasure whenever the keys starts to play, whenever the sultry tone of the trumpets start to emanate from the cold steel, whenever the soothing voices of the past and modern artists starts to sway. Appreciate, like, or love the music that my ears like to...

Beautiful, he said. As he looked upon the lady from across the room, bedazzled by her elegance, mesmerized by her sheer presence. He was sipping a glass of Chardonnay, he was tired from his speech about this and that, she was the reason why he was still smiling after a night filled with mundane clichés and chagrin. His vexation was turned into amazement. She took his breath away, one more look and...

Four days of traveling, four days with people who are deemed remarkable in their leagues, with people whose mindsets have affected mine in one way or another, with people who have the audacity to make change, to educate, and to learn.
I, with my colleagues, attended the National Innovation Conference On Education 2013 or N.I.C.E. 2013! I am still in awe by the way some of the speakers...

We could change for the better, to look into our hearts and refine our repertoire by what we need and want to be. To stop the world from becoming a melancholic chaos, to make history by becoming a metaphorical helping hand. Take a second, take a minute, even take an hour to reevaluate what and who you truly are.
To help in a different stage requires help in the stage you are currently in. One at...

I wish upon a moon so eloquent in the darkness that she basks upon, I wish that the stars will guide my way to the days that is for me, I wish that the universe will set my mind to do the things I must and the things I could. These are words of a hopeful dreamer who wallows happily in this earth that is full of potential if only he has the artillery to grab every single positive thing. These are...

Merry Christmas! I say this for a reminder, I say this for life has been tiring for a while now, for me and for some who are reading this, I guess. I say this to remind myself that Christmas is in my heart, that the season to be jolly will always be here if I just think about it. And metaphorical Christmas lights, hollies, and cookies will always and forever can make my smile. How joyous...

Are you in love? Four simple words, but a question of complexity and intricacy. I never had a concrete answer to the people who asked, I never thought about the phrase nor contemplated upon it. I always wondered how would I tackle it, then I fathomed, they were asking me in a wrong way, a fallacy. The right question to ask is: When am I not in love?
Yes, I do reckon that it would be a better...

This is not fiction. My heart is smiling even though that there are a lot of big things in my porcelain platter these past few weeks. I have been struggling, I have been worrying, I have been doubting myself and the things I am doing. I have been losing my grip in the world that I am accustomed to, I have been forgetting my beliefs. I needed to snap out of that mediocrity of a trance and be in a...

She told me that love was not true, a fictitious thing like a dragon or an elf crew. I would have liked to contest the said phrase, but I respect the ideals of her mind, and I hoped that one day I could change it. She swore that she liked me, I promised it would work. It was a crazy thing to say, it was a dumb thing to spill. Why did I fall in love with a lady who thought love was an imagination?...

Blank, my fiction is astray. I cannot muster the imagination to put things into words. My pen is inanimate in every way, no movement from the hand that holds the instrument to change, to flatter, to make everything a tad bit better. No signs from the puppeteer that bought the wooden plank, no speech from the mouth of the speaker, no life found in the withering trees.
Stranded in an island of...

I am going to be everything that I dream of, no less than what I imagine, no truth in what others may prattle or blabber. I will soar the highest of skies by way of flight, I will dive the deepest of oceans with a ponderous boat to be my platform before plunging, I will walk this Earth with my head held high with vehement amounts of tangible and intangible fortune at my back. No I woulds, only I...

Another year has passed, another one awaits. New adventures are waiting, new people are putting on their suits and shirts to meet us unexpectedly, new smiles will be flashed toward us, new perspectives will be shown to us. The future will always be vague, nothing is ever sure, but I know that it will always be bright if we have faith in our hearts. This has been a good year for me, this has been a...

Now that the Christmas lights around are slowly beginning to fade, now that the bells and carolers have been vehemently diminishing one by one, now that families and friends are climbing aboard planes and ships, now that everything is reverting back to the way they were, would you let the Christmas spirit in your heart disappear until next year as well?
The lavish love that you shared and...
