supposedly posted early september.haha

Wow!

It's almost a month since I made a blog...I overly missed this stuff.



Hmm...

Everytime I do such, I always make a way for a substantial article to post. But now, I really don't know what to say and how to say things. I've been so much busy recently. Doing things academically and my passion: writing and making our paper exemplary competitive, wow, perhaps the most satisfying things after the exhausting nights and that so-called 'issues'. Duh?!





Anyway, I've learned one thing, yeah I really did...I just found out that I am taking for granted my academic performances. I am not just satisfied with what I have got: the scores and the frustrating...

Time, certainly flies...and gone...

"The unexamined life is not worth living." - Socrates
Inasmuch as being human, we only have one chance to live when we talk about normal individuals and phenomena. In this world of abstractions, one must mold and create his own image to stand out among the same-different-humans. Life is uncertain but the only certainty in this uncertain world is, things must come to an end.
Truly, the unexamined life is not worth living. We may always be driving by our unique personality but this does not necessarily mean that we will not be able to blend with the milieu or to the changing holocaust. They say, “as long as I am what I am, it’ll bring me good.” But it’ll bring you no good indeed. It’s the moral responsibilities of every individual to distinguish the situation, to determine what should be applicable to say and not to say. One must learn to recognize the wholesome thoughts from the unwholesome one.
As social being and by nature as political animal, we always tend to be in the group or crowd. Obsessed by our insatiable desire to communicate freely, however, we should know that words are powerful. Every little thing we say has its own impact to the one we directly or indirectly told. Our opinions’ always count, that’s why we should be impeccable to those things we are uttering.
Finding ourselves when we go through life is a very haunting experience. When we are lost in the dark tunnel, one must seek and think how to create his own light or somehow to embrace the vestige of the light.
We do have the veritable conscious control to our fate and destiny, but still, some things are meant to stay that way. We must accept the fact that after encountering with the living and the dead we will be left alone conversing with ourselves; cogitating and actualizing…
In my journey, I have learned to think and act wisely in every life’s endeavor. I’ve learned to examine myself and others; to see through us in manipulating our seeming capacity to live a moral life. I firmly believed that no matter how hard it may be, falling down to your knees is never been a threat nor a danger. We must eradicate our pride and obtain humility to sustain one’s moral life.
Every man has his own societal tasks and responsibilities, as well as our moral obligation to the book of the world. We must learn to recognize every little thing of it and their appropriate places to act and react.
We must learn to value each other as He values us to be worthy enough to the borrowed time. We must leave our legacy of goodness to ascend throughout generations.
I know that it’s by nature of every man to err because just like the moon, every man has its own dark side; but only those who are fool persevere in errors.
…and even a single flutter of a butterfly’s wing can ultimately cause havoc halfway around the world.

Self-Concept Inventory Assessment: Candid Sincerity!


I stand five (5’) feet and six (6”) inches and weigh one hundred eighty (180 lbs) pounds, having a brown complexion but I’m determined to attain a fair one. I have eloquent eyes by which I adore its dramatic effects onto my sentiments in life, same as my cute nose. Some always noticing my bizarre ears, it has a shape like the letter C. I have pouting lips and cute chubby cheeks. I want to have braces because of my parting-sort-of-white teeth. With regards to my physical appearance, I’m not particular to any parts of my body to develop or to improve; however, all I want is to lighten up my complexion and have braces. I don’t want to change my size as of now because someone had told me that it’s enough to have a body size like this as long as I’m healthy, so I am. Yeah, my hair! This somehow my obsession, I have stylish black hair always this kind of effects from my hair wax.

I’m always wearing my white uniform with Chinese collar (psychology stud) and nameplate during Mondays to Thursdays and smart casual attire during Fridays. I like wearing stylish polo t-shirt, polo and pants; either slacks or not. I also like wearing semi-formal attires and formal too.

At present, I can relate smoothly to my friends and colleagues as long as they do not interfere with my rights, judgments and principles in life. If so, then I’ll tend to dislike people and avoid them anyways. Well, we all know that during at this point of being an adolescent, many things have been bantering inside and out, in other words, we are so sentimental because of our heightened emotionality. There’s no turning back for what have been done onto me, as I deemed they betrayed me and it’ll be ultimately hard to rend and to sew.

Some of my friends see me as transparent individual. They have said that I’m a loving friend, sincere and caring one.

In my family, before, I think that I have of no importance to them. They always blame me for everything, especially my mother. But in the end, with my knowledge gained from psychology, I had been able to understand them, particularly my mom. They are just thinking of my welfare and they care for me to be not lost along.

To the strangers, I relate to them in necessity and from call of societal duty or perhaps my conscience. If they badly need help then eventually I will.

Having someone who will permanently or temporarily hold your heart is like I can give my all. I’ve been hopelessly in-love once; I can’t help it to be hurt, to be glad and to be of everything. I’m a sensitive person, sentimental rather emotional, low frustration tolerance, but all of these, I could now accept everything and admit it. But sometimes, it takes time to heal the wounds that will ever leave scars.

Well, to describe my personality makes me feel guilty, because I don’t know what to utter. I don’t know what adjectives I will use to.

It’s necessary, indeed, so there it goes. I’m sensitive in nature, intuitive, selfish/self-centered or narcissistic for some times, in short egoistic and egotistic in survival in accords to the nature. My human side, that every man has its own, those are mine – the dark side of the moon.

I couldn’t really and truly find what adjective will describe my optimistic and pessimistic sides. All I can say is that, when the time where there’s light I can see it and when the time there’s no more light, I will make one.

As I stated above, they see me boastful, self-centered, selfish and appalling but they just don’t understand me. I couldn’t blame them, because those are their prerogatives and prejudices. As long as they are not interfering my own existence, the way I exist! – And as long as they are not creating clamors behind me.

Some of my relatives see me as studious, talented and some says ‘very sentimental loner’. My family says that I’m lazy, bad and in all they see me negatively – a rubbish. They are not seeing me as a brand-new-hard-bound-book.

My academic performances are unparalleled as I see it. I have gained high grades and will have to gain again. However, some of my subjects are not that so high. That it gives me reason to strive more. Probably, my intellectual capacity has been full bloomed already.

I can balance my academic and non-academics tasks. I’ve been a member and officers of various organizations in the university. Functioning every now and then inside the campus. And presently holding one of the highest posts in the student publication; The Bastion, as the managing editor and layout artist. Also the secretary of Philippine Science Consortium (RMTU Council), vice-president of both Psychological Society (RMTU Chapter) and Sci-Math Club.

I have routinely doing activities everyday. During weekdays, I’m waking up six in the morning, to have breakfast, take a good bath and prepare for school. I’m eating three times a day with healthy and delicious foods. In weekends, cleaning my room and sometimes the entire house and also washing my worn-out clothes.

Above all, I’m not forgetting to thank God every now and then for the life and blessings always bestowing upon me.

Truly, I am a late maturer, however my curiosity is insatiable. Only now, that I have somehow fully developed my mental capacity and capability. I’m a fast learner in science, philosophy, arts and others. I’m somehow poor in numerical and logics. I’m very inquisitive and creative to either written, oral or of other performances which include aesthetics. I’m fund of reading books and other reading materials though immaterial. Also, regularly updating myself through internet, so as I’m also blogging.

I have special knowledge in journalistic writing, free writing, painting, singing, theater acting, lay-outing publications, and graphic illustrations and of leadership. I have acquired variety of wisdom from different philosophers, philosophical books, the Bible which is from God and in the book of the world.

I can see and feel that my libidinal or psychic energy is high because of such stimulus. The power of procreation have endowed upon us. Looking myself as a wise man makes me feel alive…

Vestige: At the Extent of Lamentation


Amidst the four corners of the Attic,
They saw a crumpled paper.
From the inside bare as hollow sheet…
As the wind blows!
- The scent of the Cherry Blossoms.
- The scent of the Grapes in the vineyard.
- The scent of the leaves of Eucalyptus.
- Savoring…
As the water streams!
- That soothing swim of the Turtle.
As the ground breaks!
- The Jade emerges.
- The Greenish thing.
--- As the water spills like erupting volcano.
There’s no more Road…
- Straight, zigzag, narrow, curve…
- It had gone astray…
As per se un-mend!
Only then, to see that Depths…
I can still see leaves of that Giant-nameless-tree.
Murmurs of the Humming Bird atop!
Pressed inside an archaic-thick-book…
“It burns!”
The fire-heart…I left! I left! I left “those”…


With my Carpet and Lit,
As I journey once more…

MEMENTO

And that yearning of uneventful yesterdays!
Coerced by your demeanors and explicit gestures of endearment…
From this day,
I could see you!
I could feel you…
You’re still a part of me…

A part of this Shattered Memories!

OUCH!


It was afternoon, a very hot day…
It was like I’m not in vein to chat
Feeling the ambience within and without
Counting every sweats drifting to my skin.

But one moment changes my mood…
Pony-tailed hair, smiles that touches my heart,
And a hearty-tone, saying “Hello”
Then I replied, “Hi”

We both sit close at hand…
Chatting and exploring the truth in each of one of us.
We found out, we both loved music.
Singing with a soft voice, for us to hear the essence of the song.

Surroundings had changes into sentimental scene…
Drops of rain scattered on the ground.
Drifting like a stream.
The acuteness of my sense tends me to hear everything in existence.
“What makes that beating so fast?”

Ambience change to refreshing and cooling effect…
From that moment, it’s ceased our time.
I knew her more.
Kind of having proximate relation with her,
Then we became friends.

“She” changes my vista and enthusiasm…
It was her fault,
I fell in the hole of pain and sorrow.
Made my optimistic view, as if she will be more than a friend of mine.

A decision, then revelation follows…
I treated her more than others,
I always made her smile.
Revealed feelings, it burst out, I admitted it.

Another Moment, it changes all…
“I can only give to you is, as a friend, nothing less and nothing more.”
“You irritate me.”
Somewhere, somehow, you’ll find that “apple of yours.”

Wrong view of mine, accepting the fact, “but it is so hard”…
This passage is very risky.
A trial and error, sometimes you win and more times you lost.
“She broke my world, but she made me strong.”

Psychological Analysis on Personality

CAN you LIVE WITH SHIRT AND PANTS???

In the different grounds of knowledge, studies and specializations, there are, somehow, absolute or exact fact based on studies which can be educated or seek objectively by educators and by any others. Thus, it leaves a slim space for the study and development of behavioral sciences with its social relationships.

It has been said that almost 90 percent of studies have been proven and now being used in different practice of applications while 10 percent’s left for the so-called enigmatic studies. One of them is Psychology, is now field of science that deals with the study of human behavior, cognition and social interaction. Many had said that it is human behavior, which is very difficult to understand and study. Behavior of individual varies on a certain cultures, situations, and upbringings. It is not ended only on the scientific inquiries of this study constitutes the mind but all the necessary aspects should be considered. The most controversial field of psychology is the personality of the individuals. Many theorists tried to explain how human acts in certain ways and certain situations. They had been able to postulate their own theoretical inquiries based on their studies in that field and of their experiences.

In one sense, what are the major causes of individual’s behavior? Would it be in his development and upbringing, maybe his repressed unconscious motives? Or, his view on different circumstances with his behavior towards it, rather.

The Law of Unfairness

“The more effort you exert the less benefit you take, but the less effort you exert the more benefit you take.”


Apparently life is very much unfair. From the very first significant event of someone’s life that only a single sperm can enter the egg cell to fertilize. For the parents, it is indeed unfair that they’ve enjoyed eleven minutes (according to the novel, Eleven Minutes by Paulo Coelho) of pleasure but sacrifices for the rest of their lives. For the students, isn’t it fair for your parents to send you to school and give your allowances and certainly, you’ll end up in poor grades. And for a student giving not his best in his studies and yet he had received skyscraping grades because of make-up project but far high from a student who evidently excelled in his studies.

Nowadays, many actions in our lives can be considered as being unfair. As we all experienced, we cook our food for more or less than an hour but eat in less than ten minutes. We buy expensive delicacies and yet it is unhealthy to us. We buy more things for entertainment and leisure but not even give charity a help. Many countries are rich and more of their funds are being used for making weapons for their somehow absolute defense. Don’t they think that the funds for those insane matters can cure the poverty of the world? They are just making unfair out of their power and wealth, and trying to reach the omnipotence of all. How cruel they are to think that they can reach above others.

Many things considered as being unfair but unconsciously people ignored these things (if only they knew those) because of the fact of some big unfairness they are facing, that they were born in this world unequal. Ethically, we were not born equal because of our basic dignity. Some might have lost their dignity along the way, but it mustn’t or shouldn’t be lost. It is somehow our bludgeon in different events or aspects in our lives.

However, isn’t it fair for a student to arrive at the omnipotence from wrong doings? For some, “It is better to cheat than to repeat”, an irony of inanity indeed. Isn’t it fair for your beliefs – or for your superego? Or it’s just a defense mechanism of your inferiority. Perhaps, your conscience may be the arbitrator for you to be penalized. Somehow, the unfairness has the goal for itself, the motivations of being unfair and the fact of their self-satisfactions or purpose which is righteous but in an unethical way of having it.

In larger sense, making things fair is very much good and easy even though He made the world unfair. It’s just His way of getting our attention and believing in Him. Whenever we do well, the innate glow will definitely glow upon us. However, when we do evil, He will just teach us to be good. But don’t wait for Him to teach you to do good things and being fair because, somehow,
His way isn’t fair also.

A Perspective

So, my expedition is not yet over, it is but the start…
In my entire existence, I became aware on every issue concerning every individual on particular reasons, either to oppose or not to. The worst scenario is when a dispute start, a disagreement, an argument (either false or otherwise) which would lead to a so-called rivalry between particular individuals or groups. A non-stop stoning of their foul deeds and that could certainly occur or recur in different situations, just like a contagious disease inflicting every living cell which could destroy a whole being.
For my 17 years stay in the surface of this orb, I’ve experienced enormous variety of variations and diversions, from the basic unit of the society, local areas, school or university, and of national or even international diversification.
Thus, in its own circuits, it accompanied different electrifying charges of either negative or positive equivalence. Their world is much chaotic than to someone who live in South Africa where even juveniles do unforgivable deeds as the rebels insists and torments them in their own way. There are almost 200,000 children, as of now, being used as soldiers for their ‘selfish desire’ of ruling the entire Africa and see no peace but destructions and chaos. The rebels decides for what they want to do without conforming to the norms of the society particularly to the laws in their state. They made their laws to follow which people suffers because of no safeguards from ‘papers’ and of even from the so-called ‘law-enforcers’.
In a small but larger sense, inside the family, this is known as the indispensable unit of our society. Many children suffer from abused (physically, emotionally, mentally and sexually), broken families, child labors and much more. The disgraceful juveniles suffering from all of these are innocents. They need enormous care, love and affection from significant someone. Why all these things are happening in our society? Does it give us a reason that we can generalize the world as it seems to be immobilized?
Psychologically, if an individual is emotionally disturbed at home or having stress from the family then it would certainly affect its outward behavior in different milieu.
If a child isn’t receiving any praises, encouragements and the like from his parents then eventually he will feel inferior and lack of competence, low self-esteem and confidence. But if the child’s perspective is not the otherwise, then he will just praise, or encourage himself that will cause boasting. From that, he will become voracious subsequently followed by a more habitual (bad) act in his latter life. He will be like an "alligator", thinking that he is powerful that the he can subdue everything, a synonymous act of politicians and leaders in different public and private sectors nowadays.
In short, the development of an individual affects a lot; he may abuse his power, wealth and capability, which could probably affect (also) his milieu.
As a Psychology student, a tagline is being imposed to us, that, "we respect individual differences and we adjust in every situation". Partly, we are in there, but we are talking about the people, there welfare and human side. We understand but we cannot impose to each and every individual to understand a person’s bad deeds. Only then, that the best moral principle is ‘utilitarianism’. The ethical doctrine, that the moral worth of an action is solely determined by its contribution to overall utility, meaning, "the greatest good for the greatest number". A sacrifice of one person for the sake, or for the welfare of the entire nation or, rather, for the entire university. That, what Jesus had made for us to be forgiven and redeemed. Can we just think of the entirety and not of our selfish desires?
However, for some people, who are running after to their emotions, and though we cannot blame them as a Filipino, because that’s our nature and culture – being emotional. But sometimes we couldn’t think for the goodness of some leaders that they have done in their administrations.
Nevertheless, if one couldn’t sacrifice his supremacy for the entirety, then we would make a move for his selfish desires.
A balloon is soft and tolerable for squeezing and it gives us a pleasure of ‘toying’ it. Sometimes, it moves up and down but not even popping out, unless someone will try to poke it.
A balloon is not tolerable or not enjoyable, rather, if the air inside exceeds to its maximum capacity. It can move up and down but it will become fragile and as one smooth poke, eventually it will pop out.
"If it is too much, then, enough!"



As we take every phase of our lives with the pace of a lightning, try to think for our freedom and for our rights…

*Fathoming the Depth

***

Exonerate me for I will outstandingly upsurge this passive lady at this point of time…




Da,

How are you now? I overly miss you these days.

Way back 2000 was the foremost year that you got all-out to be the best person in the classroom which was packed with newly primary graduate similar to us. For four long years Da, you were in that position that not a soul could ever tell you that you are pathetic or messed up. People are liked you. People knew you. You do love yourself, identical to narcissus’ admiration to himself and you told me that you could feel the existence of God very near on or after you. You never had uncertainties with your family’s concern. No snuffle from your lovers. You find studying irresistible. You were awarded time and again as the best theater actress in our school and in an intercollegiate competition in our city those days. You were beauty queen intellect and you have been a faithful friend to me. I miss the way you talk to me like a six-year old child. I miss your manner of mourning for now we both know that you’re not able to shed tears. I guess you are now an introvert or maybe you are just so busy that you do not have time to sob in front of my face once more.

At present I can still see you grinning though there are *depths beyond those. I cannot still figure out why. So I could say that some grins are fake smiles and some fake smiles are grin. High school living is over. After that, I didn’t see your genuine beam again. They are all false now. What happened to you Da? Where are you now? It has been a long time since I last saw you kneeling and praying so hard for a friend like me. I find it hard to talk to you again because you’re always ignoring what you fell…what you really feel. When will you be true to yourself again? When will you boost yourself? What is the problem? How could you do that to yourself? Where is the respect that you’ve put in your heart eight years ago? Where are those promises that you will let me see you succeed when you enter college? Is it me who is expecting too much? Or you who did not do your best to be what you want to be?

I would like to see you more often. I would like to be with you alone. I will wait for your answers to all questions I uttered lately. You have been so quiet these years. I can feel the pain that is in your expressions but I am also aware that you don’t want to talk about it right now.

One month more and you are out of school. You should cheer-up young lady! You are about to enter a new ambiance which will enable you to show-off your abilities and discover your strengths. Promise me that you will never be shy again. Please tell me that you will do your best now. Let me know that you will never be inferior and you will forget your painful past experiences. Offer me that genuine smile once more like when you are in your innocent high school memoirs. Never let anyone hurt you again and never let mistakes degrade you the second time. Grow up from those things! You have the power to fix it. You are forgiven so it’s better to forgive yourself also. This is a perfect time to put everything in order. You are free now. Move on! Be who you are and say what you feel. I won’t do anything to hurt you again.

*I love you. I do respect your whole being.


*Yourself

Assumero^^,


The way ‘She’ beholds me!

Gazing above the empyrean,
In a night filled with “stars”,
Can’t help but to cry and whine…

Amidst the dew-like on integuments,
Mirrors the clog never hear,
As the breezy air befall on sentiments…

Lone in the umbrages of the unknown,
Likewise being drive by a Jamadar,
And discontinuous breathe emission…

Vague to augur a proposition,
Unless the doom of mist comes to end near,
So as the nerves back to intuition…

Sensation on the first and last eon,
Outstretch the teary eyes for caresses and not to fear,
But “someone’s” shining likes neon…

Lays a hand on my temple,
And molds an eloquent eyes beneath the glacier,
That “something’s” behind,

The way she beholds me!

My Disconsolateness and Wretchedness of being a Narcissist!

“Ouch!”
Something had pricked the seat of my emotions. It was pierced by some-sort-of-jur, by a pretentious-uneasy-but-undeniably conspicuous being. It was directly hit by “its” ultimate supremacy which tends to a thing to react. It was being sensed then traverse-ly moves across the axon carrying the neurotransmitter substance that sends inevitably. The pulsating momentum disclosed, it pulsates, beats and the haste of it, and estimate-ly measures’ nano-seconds after reaching the seat – my hypothalamus. The supreme commanded the reacting mechanisms-glands, hormones, and muscles- of my body to manifest the inevitable and hurting disclosure.

It manifests lots of thing…

I’m incompetent! I’m inconsistent! I’m a big loser! I couldn’t prove to everyone that I have what it takes, that I’m excellent in everything. And even I couldn’t believe that I don’t have the entrails, that I can’t do things excellently. The competence, self-esteem, self-confidence in me is starting to peter out along my way to the crest.

All along, this un-euphoric page is caused by my inferiorities, which unconsciously misleading me in life. More times, when I’m above everybody I’m feeling the aura of blissfulness but on the other hand, sometimes or quite sometimes, having a better one than me is much just like degrading and distorting my being. Consequently, I feel so much insecurities and I will do everything to defend and protect my ego from anxieties and frustrations.

I’ve known myself or even “myselves”, that’s why I’m presently taking a course to study such behavior. I don’t want to blame the significant people around me who have been part of my existence, or I mean my erroneous existence, my erroneous upbringing and misguided-ness. But now, I have understood them since I have so much knowledge about their fault which they have done in my entire development. I understood and continuing to, because I have the need to understand them. Truly it is, and the only thing I want them to do is to guide me rightly until now and support in my endeavors.

Whew! I think it’s me who mustn’t be like this anymore. The very pessimistic me has no place in my other “selves” and I’ve been trying to accept everything, my shortcomings and the like in order to live blissful and in the pink.

Expletively, if I were to be given a chance to write and just to write my “ifs” that I could have or should have done in my entire life, I will, even it will no longer be useful!

If I became competent in every event in my life, then, I will live blissfully.
If I became consistent on my studies and other things, then, I will reap the fruits I’ve planted towards my crest in times.
If I am being raised and guide righteously, then, I will not be like this. It’s either I am blissful or even euphoric! It’s either I have no insecurities, inferiorities and inconsistencies. It’s just like I can be at two places at the same time. The feeling of happiness of stepping to two different boundaries is like fulfilling the thought of “two-place-at-the-same-time”, a dream being manifested.

However, in my entire existence I’ve learned so many things, the one that is very convincing for me is to accept my shortcomings (because I must) and have place for new challenges and never descend “yourselves” into the gloom. For all the ifs, could haves, and should haves, it will no longer have place in my thoughts because I will become strong now to accept everything…to accept or to admit everything that I’ve done wrongly…

It’ll just remind me that “someones’” are always better than me!

I will just go back to my new self, “even it’ll cause demise, and still I have the need to understand…”

Reason: Because...[a refletion paper in philosophy and logic]

Do you believe that only with the use of reason can we become objective in most circumstances?



As a Psychology student, we are in this field of study because of searching for reasons of why and how an individual act in a certain way and certain situation. That, we consider this as reason bound study or inquiries. Although human behavior is very difficult to study and understand, that’s why we are trying to search or find reason based on individuals overt behavior in different situations and passed experiences, especially during one's development. Human behavior varies in a reason. As of now many theorists postulated their own theoretical inquiries based on different aspects of man’s life and behavior. They gave their own reasons with these phenomenon which are being used in psychology as a study, for a reason, to compare and contrast each, then cluster.

Personally, I do agree that only with the use of reason can we become objective in most circumstances. This does not necessarily mean that any reason can be used objectively in most circumstances or situations unless, reasons that are good or right and conforms to the social norms. Moreover, I am neither questioning nor asking for reason, for example, is there really a God? If there is, why is that He doesn’t exist at all. That is the thing we mustn’t ask for a good, right or true reason because we are the reason of Him and for Him, that nothing is reasonable when we talk of Him.

In the first place, objectively, we exist of a reason, because of our parents’ love and affection which causes our individuality biologically. The reason of being their son or daughter is the fact that we inherit their appearance, attitude, mentality, and the like and also by making us. What is the reason why we go to sleep? Because it is necessary or it’s biologically or psychologically innate and needed for us, that we must take a rest in order to regain our strength for tomorrows’ endeavor. We drink, eat and eliminate because of our needs; thirst, hunger, and body waste elimination. We make decision because we must and no matter what happens, we are accountable to it.

In showing affection or having the right partners in life, in short in loving, is there a reason behind? I’ve read a novel entitled “The Alchemist” by Paulo Coelho a Brazilian Author, one of the passages there is, “…one is love because one is love, no reason for loving.” Partly, I agree but knowing, there are reasons.

Simply, from the passage itself, there is a reason stated. We love because one is love and no reason for loving. Why the author suggested this, if it doesn’t have the reason, so what’s the bases and purpose of loving? There’s no means in writing it, if at first love has no reason at all. The world will be vague or ambiguous if that thing has no reason. When we use “because”, we are stating a fact that there is reason. In a sense, whenever you light a candle, probably the place is dark that there is a need to have a light. Same with the reason of loving, two opposite or, for some, the same pole attract or it may repel. A man and a woman have the need for each other. The objective reason of a man is to suffice the woman’s needs in a man’s body and vice versa.

In reality, I am not saying that God is not real because He doesn’t exist but He exists and He’s real, it’s not debatable rather. For example, you failed in your examination, simply because or the reason is that you didn’t study well or probably you’re just a stupid person not knowing the reason behind and purpose of studying and the negative outcome you’ll face if you didn’t think objectively based on those reasons you have thought. The logic is, “a man didn’t study well, will fail!” Although he knew for a fact why he should study, that’s an inanity.

Practically, the essence of the “use of reason”, whether right or wrong, bad or good, is that it helps us in making any decisions and foreseeing the possibility or circumstances objectively based on the apparent reason we are thinking.

Nevertheless, it’s our prime role to take over or to be accountable in everything we make and also, reason varies in situations because I believe it’s within a person how he or she will reason out or think in having an objective view in most circumstances.

Found Missing...

If I will be given a chance to write my first Column on our school paper (The Bastion), this will be my Column Head. It's an example of figure of speech, or, specifically oxymoron. It's a literary figure of speech in which contradictory or opposite terms or ideas are combined to create a rhetorical effect by paradoxical means such as found missing.


I just found myself missing!

Inasmuch...




Acuteness


“Tick, Tack, Tick, Tack!”
Whew! What was that?
Midnight
Awoke from asleep
Tried to sleep again
“Tick, Tack, Tick, Tack!”
Disturbed my rest
What makes me heard that?
Started to listen
Never ending tone
Searching for etiology
Continuous…
Begins to hear more frequent and faster.
Tried to examine…
Clock...
Hunting the location
Far from my ears
Few meters away
How can I do that?
One thing
Sense of hearing is Acute
Hindrance for everything
Insanity or Sanity
Due to Cognition
But not processing…

Far Away


This time, This placeMisused, MistakesToo long, Too late.Who was I to make you wait.Just one chance.Just one breath.Just in case there's just one left.'Cause you know, you know, you know


That I love you.I have loved you all along.And I miss you.Been far away for far too long.I keep dreaming you'll be with me and you'll never go.Stop breathing if I don't see you anymore.One my knees, I'll ask.Last chance for one last dance.'Cause with you, I'd withstand.All of hell to hold your hand.I'd give it allI'd give for us.Give anything but I won't give up.'Cause you know, you know, you know.


So far away.Been far away for far too long.So far awayBeen far away for far too long.But you know, you know, you know. I wanted.I wanted you to stay'Cause I needed.I need to hear you say.That I love you.I have loved you all along.And I forgive you.For being away for far too long.So keep breathing.'Cause I'm not leaving.Hold on to me and, never let me go.
It rekindle me from the depth of my thought of you! I don't know, you're so far away to hear me say...
that I loved you all along...
