JUST READ AND CARRY ON

Labis na nagdadalamhati ang aking kaluluwa Hirap sa Pagkain, gutom ang sikmura Ang aking baga wala nang maihinga Nasaan ang Bathala, makialam ba Siya? Kung bakit hirap ang minsa’y bansang sagana Madilim ang bawat sulok na nakikita Mga islang sagana sa perlas, walang pruweba Mga naniniraha’y nagtitiis sa dusa Sa bawat bagyong bumabayo Hinagpis ang dala ng bawat peligro Ang tamis sa ngiti napilitang maglaho Mga bangkay na tinangay unti-unting bumaho Buto at balata ang siyang natira Lantay na katawan kinain ng buwaya Pinagpiyestahan, pinatay ng walang awa Mga buwaya’t baboy di na nahiya Labis niyang pagsisihan Kung bakit Siya’y isinilang Sa bansang alipin kanyang pinagmulan Gusto niyang makawala sa bilangguan Nilibing ka ng dayuhan Sunud-sunuran sa kamadag ng cobrang makapangyarihan Maging sarili mong anak ika’y tinalikuran Para sa mas masarap na buhay sa ibang bayan Sa Diyos nananalig, nawa ika’y kanyang tulungan Hinagpis ng ...

Marami sa kabataan ngayon ang maagang pumapasok sa relasyon. Ni hindi pa nga nila kayang magluto ng kanin pero mas inuuna pa rin nila ang pakikipag boypren/girlpren. Hindi ko naman sinasabing masama ito, pero kung susuriin nating mabuti hindi ito tama. Sapagkat hindi pa sapat ang Emotional Quotient ng mga kabataang ito, hindi pa nila lubusang naiintindihan ang sitwasyon. Dahil dito nagbubunga ng nakakapanghinayang na resulta ang pagpasok nila sa isang relasyon. Ang stage ng puberty ay nagdudulot ng malaking pagbabago sa pisikal at kemikal na aspeto ng katawan. Ang isang lalaki ay lumalaki ang pangangatawan, tumatangkad ng maigi, bumababa ang boses, tumutubo ang mga buhok sa iba’t ibang parte at tumataas ang lebel ng testosterone, androgen at ilan pang sex hormones. Dahil dito nagiging agresibo ang isang lalaki at siya ay nasa crucial stage. Kailangan ng malawak na pang-unawa mula sa mga magulang, gabay at pagmamahal para hindi sila mapariwara. Karamihan kasi ay natututo ng uminom,...

No curricular offering is easy; you have to work out with much effort to obtain that diploma. The BS Pharmacy program is not an exemption to this rule. With the rigors of the course to undertake, voluminous information to know, and chemistry skills to acquire, BS Pharmacy, undoubtedly is a difficult pathway. You need much time to study especially in the third and last year of the program-- a lot of exams to pass, quizzes to hurdle, projects to finish and courage to walk through. Let’s take a closer look of how it feels to be in enrolled in the program. Take note that we are following the curriculum of today, which is same through with our curriculum way back in SY 2008-2009. Also there may be variations of the basic and professional courses to take in terms of course title and number of units, as per discretion of the school. Nevertheless, basic requirements set by CHED is similar all throughout, hence a standardized unified program is expected. In your first year, general educati...

The skies open in harmony Wind blows in varying dimensions Fire bellows with extreme fury He stands barefoot in faith He walks in deep exasperation Thinking of nothing but hope With the butterflies in sight A little prayer as his guide The road is packed with wild Crashed  by severe impact  He stood up but fall in trap Darkness came; thunders slapped Unfree for decade and a half He breathes waves in his chest Miracle stood his time Never unfazed through and through He took the step on Towards his bright sun Happiness sets in forever Sacrificed now, reward later

Most of the time our internal processing units are intricately bizarre. We usually think of ourselves as a rational being, able to think logically in a clear manner; but all too often without our consciousness, our judgment is clouded by emotions and past experiences. We relate to other people in a certain way, we make friends with people similar to us, and we are too comfortable within our sphere of comfort. Going beyond is a mountain to climb, a typhoon to beat, an ocean to sail.  Good for those people who were raise in a supporting family, a nurturing school, a caring teacher, and a privilege community. For they are not impaired socially and are ahead in the socioeconomic strata of influence. For people growing up in a disadvantage sector, where conflicts are the norm, hunger is common and apathy as the status quo, internal conflict is a major challenge. All too often we are self-centered lacking the ability to put ourselves on someone's shoes. In the process, we don't rec...

The door opened and I heard my name crisply called. Nervously, trying to control my emotions, I entered with courage and confidence. The interviewer began to assess me as soon as I enter the cold room, looking for some cues and deciding whether I fit in or not at all. I smiled, gently and intensely. "Please have a seat", he said in a low, deep voice. My heart sank in palpitations, to which I cried for God's help in this unearthly hour. I mustered the courage and eventually relaxed. I thought of good memories and happy times to distract me from this creepy feeling. In that very instant, God responded and heed my requests keeping me calmer. "Tell me something about your family", was his first question. The emotion quickly flooded my heart, a heavy uncomfortable feeling. To which I honestly responded, " I grew up in a broken family under poverty. I am the eldest of four children, in which the pressure to provide and pursue my dreams, is a major challenge. My...

He was gone like a thief of the night; leaving his family in complete jeopardy. He said no goodbyes and left without warnings. In the silence of the blue sky, he joined the waves of the river. His soul sank in the strong current, wave after wave. He struggled to fulfill his dreams, but nature’s power is way greater than his. As might as he could he tried, until finally he succumbed to rest his weary soul. In a moment he thought of his family, of the beautiful memories, of his lost dream, of the love he received and given, of how he will be remembered. His tears under water, he cried for help, desperate for another chance. But he felt it was time; his time commenced. Who is he to question what is prepared for him in HIS eternal love? In a snap, the river consumed him until his body floated with the angels. He heard trumpets, saw dancing unicorns and felt the warm welcome.  He was now in another world—all whites, all pure, all peaceful. On earth, though, he saw his body in a b...
