a dedication for my bestfriends.. i missed them.. :)


THAT CORNER..

It’s never empty and lonely
That corner where my mind flee
When my thoughts of you run happily
Your smiles, laughter, so lovely to see


In that that corner we always stay
In that that corner we’ll always be
Friends forever as you’ve promised me.


But cruel moments sometimes try to steal
Those memories that used dwell
Like treasures kept in that corner


But never will I permit
That the corner I used to keep
Will slip away or be buried deep


Because it’s one great possession
That I held and will hold along
As my life progress on.


That corner in my heart
Will never be torn apart
Hoping that corner will again
As real as it is way back then
I do miss you, my bestfriends… L

MY THOUGHTS…


…ON THE ENIGMA OF HUMAN SEXUALITY


As a devout Catholic, I have been guided by my faith. I do believe that man alone is nothing; that everything is created by the supremacy of God. Hence, I will have my conservative insights on human sexuality.

Everything governed by the natural law is supposed to what they should. If man is rational and dogs are irrational, therefore man is not a dog and vice versa. Having this in mind, I came to think that we should watch our actuations if they are in accordance to the race we belong.

The biblical text mentioned a Godly commandment not to commit adultery. This includes prohibition on fornication, pre-marital and extra-marital sex. Constantly changing partners of intimate relationship is no more than an habit of dogs. Let us not put down ourselves to a lower pedestal because we are rational creatures! And dogs? They have a state of mind inferior to mankind. Try not to be one.

When God said, “Go to the world and multiply”, it clearly implies that sex is on the purpose of racial survival. Hence, sex is mandated by God not by lust or any other human desires. It must be under God’s justification through marriage or holy union which both partners will remain partners that only death can separate.

The unjust philosophy on sexuality has developed flaws on socio-economic stability and serenity of the society. The growing trend of premarital sex on both adults and teens nowadays seemed to cause turmoil in the society. Issues on this matter has constantly been buzzing everywhere.

Those favoring such culture don’t seem to notice or care for the consequences. Say, the spread of STD’s (sexually transmitted diseases), issues on abortion assaulting the value of life and population explosion due to rapid birth rate that is eventually caused by alarming number of teenage and unwanted pregnancy.

See how wrong philosophies on human sexuality has become? It has already losing its real purpose. Well, it’s just very simple. Value yourself as a temple of goodness. Value marriage and put sex where it should be.

To the Engineering graduates (soon to be board takers):

LEAD YOUR DREAM

Every person has a unique gift. A gift that only him could ever enjoy. And that’s the gift of self. You dream of things different from any other. Hence your dream is precious. As one once said, “..but there will never another dream exactly like yours.” That is why you do your best to make it come true as perfectly as you wish.

You are very lucky to have taken many little but meaningful steps to be where you are right now and congratulations for that! This path you’ve taken, this course will always be part of your journey to your dream.

“There is no perfect life, only perfect moment”. As you look back, have you remembered those times when you frown because you’ve got failing grades in a quiz or exam? Frustrating. And how about  those sleepless nights beating the graveyard shifters due to these distinctive Engineering stuffs as “Plates”? Then you do belong to the rapidly increasing population of “deadliners”. Or have tried asking, “Sir, when is the deadliest line for this?” Added to that is when you experienced hardships  brought by economic crisis just as what Juan dela Cruz seems to constantly being burdened with and this hindering you to finance your projects or necessary school fees. Take a look back to your teachers’ horrific facial expression when you do such silly things like tardiness.
Those were just but little mishaps in your walk with life. Spices. Imperfections. Ironies. But isn’t it good to realize that they are nothing compared to that times you smile, laugh and love? Those times that you found friendship in a seemingly hostile world. Those times you made a sleep-over in the name of “group-study”. What an excuse! Those most trying times like you thought you’d fail but you luckily didn’t! To finally make it until graduation day is far better than the times that gave you tiny wrinkles.
And hey! Where you are right now is a clear sign that you are going nearer and nearer to what you’ve always dreamt of. Board exams may be very essential that is why you have to win it to the best of what you’ve learned. You worked five years for it. Five tough years. But did it ever occur to you that the five years is not just for board exam? It’s actually for life. For board exams are not the last battle to conquer/. It does not stop there. However, make the most of it, a license still makes a big difference. Just be diligent and optimistic and never forget to look up.
And if you passed, be thankful and always be humane. Be an ideal one. But if you don’t, there is more to life. As what the Daily Bread says, “don’t grumble because you don’t get what you want, be grateful you don’t get what you deserve.”

Be inspired and God bless you…
