2011 was a Tough Year

2011 was the most challenging year for me. If ever someone would be interested to know my biography, I would highlight such year to be the toughest year. I couldn’t count the intances that my heart beat faster than normal, the nights which I hadn’t get enough and restful sleep, and the workdays where I only kept on browsing on outside opportunities. Arrhythmia and sleeping disorder were some of the few harvests I raked from the distinguished people’s seeds. Why I say so? It was April when my father was diagnosed of Microscopic Hematuria, a disease secondary to possible cardiovascular ... Read more

Ripping the band aid off

We are humans. As humans, we feel. When we are happy, we smile, we laugh. When we are sad, we cry. When we hurt, we bleed. And when I bleed, I put a band aid on wherever the wound is. I don’t like seeing the wound, I don’t like seeing the blood. I don’t want to see a reminder of the hurt. So yes, I’m an advocate of putting a band aid on it. No matter how small a wound is, no matter how obstructed from sight it is, put a band aid on it. Doesn’t matter if the wound ... Read more

Follow your pain is the contrast of the famous line follow your bliss. Most of our pains in life ought to tell us something or rather to teach us something.

But perhaps, following your pain will lead you into something.

Vacuum

We are a race capable of great compassion and of great violence.  “Optimus Prime” (Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen) Humans have been born with two specific tendencies, to be good and to be evil. Our freewill has always been challenged with these tendencies. True, sometimes it is easy to fall into temptation and just be as evil as you can be. In facing life’s circumstances, things have always been twice as tough as choosing the right thing and actually doing it. What makes it difficult? Choosing right over wrong? Doing something right over something wrong? The difficulty may arise ... Read more

Too Much

Feeling too much sometimes make us afraid of what may come next. To feel too much especially for someone makes us vulnerable since it threatens our own protective instinct for our own existence. It makes us aware that one strange person in this entire world manage to matter in our life. It makes us crave for something that wasn’t part of our being, that wasn’t there in the first place, but that something made everything in us insignificant. The shift from our own possessiveness in our lives to that of someone else weakens our individuality.  At some point, we manage ... Read more

What is Before God

Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἐποίησεν ὁ θεὸς τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν. “In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth”. Scientist never stop researching and studying to solve all mysteries in the world and derive concrete explanations for the origins of every living. Theories were plotted in order to arrive the facts, measure the tendencies and accurately trace the world’s beginnings. However, never amongst these theories has become a scientific law making it more likely to be a scientific fiction.
