Ripples in the Night Sky

As the daylight fades from the sky, a moon starts to replace the scenery above the heavens with stars. How come we can only see them at night? Yet it has always been there, it doesn’t hide nor does it have the capability to run away from the Earth. The moon shines second to the brightest object after the sun in spite of that, its surface is very dark with a similar reflectance to that of a coal. Indeed, it was a great night sky.

I see the stars radiate light along with the moon to illuminate the darkness that had befallen the Earth. Did you know that the Earth is light years away from the stars? Do you also know that before you see the stars at night, it had already lived thousands of years in reality? Some of those you have seen were already dead.

At this moment, people may be diligently working on something or may already be asleep. Some may even be unwinding to discharge the stress they have accumulated throughout the day. What seemed to be a night sky full of wonders is just left there unappreciated. With bountiful of resources, people who can acquire them within the reach of a hand, disregards those that are not essential for them anymore.

What I realized tonight is that, the world was built peculiar just like what I saw today nonetheless, it was all made for something. All significant and provides a role to each other. One may not see its value today but, will you still want to wait to lose everything before you realize how much it’s worth to you? There are more to what can just be seen by the naked eyes, heard by some nosy ears, and felt by the bare skin. Open your mind and see the wonders that are concealed beneath the journey we all call “Life”.

Surviving Senior Controversies

Last night was a most controversial one. Hearts were beating fast, as the night dominates the moment. 6:10 and 7:40 were the most significant set of numbers. Fire, water, earth and air best describes the sentiments of the people involved. All are different but together could have made a difference. Unity was one word so powerful yet enormously taken for granted.

Like an owl delivering messages, everyone scattered to each person they knew to talk about their own point of view. Each had an idea of their own, each with a judgment. I thought about the foolishness made that had caused this uproar. I hated that fact. I hated the person for being selfish and everything. But I realized, will hating get me anywhere? I’m not perfect and so are you who could be reading this particular sentence at this point in time. I couldn’t be neutral all the time as much as I want to. I am just a well deep enough for a certain volume of water but more than that, I can’t handle anymore.

Issues I have never experienced my whole college days, now stood right in front of me. Good friends and relationships, can you still see it? If I have done something wrong, would I be like them? Do you have the guts to ask it on my face and let me explain? Will consider the fact that you knew me and I wouldn’t do it without a reason?

Truth is people will always come and go in your life. Not all are meant to stay with you and gets pleased by you. As much as I wanted my friends to stay with me, you can’t plan life. All these past few weeks’ events killed me with a thousand stabs. Though, I don’t know how it could possibly happen with such a small body as mine. Haha! Kidding…

Sir was right! We all have a responsibility to each other, that’s the rule of due process. Even though we may not know it, still is our obligation. What happens next? We don’t know… Love me, Hate me, I don’t care anymore coz a true friend will always stay by your side, accept you as you are, hate you but at the end of the day, they will still be there for you. I hope everything gets settled.

A notice from a friend, a hug, a talk and a food with a friend… Even though everything seems destroyed and messy… This was one great day full of lessons and realization… I’m glad I have friends like you…

Fantasy within Reality

A good Saturday morning involves an endless sleep in a comfortable bed with lots of pillow on your head, on your side or even on your feet. There’s that dream where you wouldn’t want to wake up from. Sunlight creeps on you, reminding you that he is present today and will be staying with you the whole day. You wake up from your own fantasy where it’s better than reality. It’s really hard but you do have your obligations, so you put your slippers on and start the day with a cup of milk.

Entering the school, you find yourself in the middle of a crowd. You see someone, there’s a smile on your face. But, would he really notice you or you’re just like everyone else that fits with the cluster? A hate with reality that in order to get something you deserve, you should also be of the same value. If you want the best, you should also be the best. It’s hard but true. There’s a friend of mine who told me that it’s just simple, if it’s for you then you’ll eventually have it. But, what if not?! Will you just give it up?

There are many people who have done things that oppose what they stand for, in order to earn what they wanted. Not all people are given enough choices to be what they planned out. It was never of our choice what it is going to be. We try to be and we end up a failure.
