Grudges

I think there's no point in holding grudges because at the end of the day, everyone still made their own share of mistakes.

None of us is made perfectly by the Almighty. We are all bound to commit errors, mistakes, failures, evils, however you want to name it. We can never expect a person to please us fully, but we also don't have the right to reject them for not pleasing us. We might just as well be neutral about the whole damn thing. It's always better to resolve things by letting them be since we don't have control over them anyway. Finally, It would have since been better if we all have just lived our life peacefully.

The big question would always lead to: why would we even want to have hard feelings with someone whom we can't even avoid? There is just no point. None at all. Because he/she will still be who he/she used to be and we just have to accept it. Accepting is not hard. We learned to accept our dirty little selves in the first place.

P.S.

I call for PEACE.

Let us all wave our white flags. :)

LOLA.

This is for my people who just lost somebody
Your best friend, your baby, your man, or your lady
Put your hands way up high
We will never say bye.. no, no, no
Mamas, daddies, sisters, brothers, friends and cousins
This is for my people who lost their GRANDMOTHERS
Lift your head to the sky 'cause we will never say bye

As a child there were them times
I didn't get it but you kept me in line
I didn't know why you didn't show up sometimes
On Sunday mornings, and I missed you
But I'm glad we talked through
All them grown folk things
Separation brings
You never let me know it
You never let it show becuase
YOU LOVED ME and obviously
THERE'S SO MUCH MORE LEFT TO SAY
If you were with me today face to face


I NEVER THOUGHT I COULD HURT LIKE THIS
AND EVERYDAY LIFE GOES ON LIKE
"I WISH I COULD TALK TO YOU FOR A WHILE"
MISS YOU BUT I TRY NOT TO CRY
AS TIME GOES BY
AND IT'S TRUE THAT YOU'VE REACHED A BETTER PLACE
STILL I'D GIVE THE WORLD TO SEE YOUR FACE
AND BE RIGHT HERE NEXT TO YOU
BUT IT'S LIKE YOU'RE GONE TOO SOON
NOW THE HARDEST THING TO DO IS SAY BYE BYE


AND YOU NEVER GOT THE CHANCE TO SEE HOW GOOD I'VE DONE
AND YOU NEVER GOT TO SEE ME BACK AT NUMBER 1

I WISH THAT YOU WERE HERE TO CELEBRATE TOGETHER
I WISH THAT WE COULD SPEND THE HOLIDAYS TOGETHER

I remeber when you used to tuck me in at night
With the Teddy Bear you gave me that I held so tight
I THOUGH YOU WERE SO STRONG
YOU'D MAKE IT THROUGH WHATEVER
IT'S SO HARD TO ACCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU'RE GONE FOREVER.



I love you so much Lola. Though I know we were not able to spend as much time, you already had, have and always will occupy a special place in my heart. I will miss the "appears" before I leave your room, the jokes and the kwentos. Maybe I did expect you to live longer, but I don't blame you for choosing to leave. You are in a better place and I am happy for you. Till we see each other again. I LOVE YOU.

* P.S. After a year and a half, I am finally able to let my feelings out.













It was such a life changing experience so I decided to share my thoughts with you.
I never expected the turnaround of events. Before I stepped out of the metal floor of the bus, the thought of falling off the mountain still lingers. I was so afraid that I even had to seriously ask myself to fart all the ideas out. When we started walking, a.k.a. trekking, the idea began to fade. Seeing the vast greens and the peaceful surroundings even made me want to stay there forever. After a long exhaustive walk, which I thought was already the way up the mountain, I became more and more excited to take beautiful pictures at the peak. The trip up Mt. Manalmon is undeniably one of the most heart-stopping activities I had ever engaged myself to in my whole life. I was so careful not to slip because one wrong move might lead mo to the land of the dead so I balanced, trusted myself and my teammates. All the struggles and frights were nothing compared to the worth of the beauty we have all seen. The experience was later on sprinkled with the river trekking, river crossing, river swimming, and caving extravaganza. I never even thought that I would allow myself to swim with my shoes on and while my period is still flowing hard. Despite it all, those little factors never hindered me from actually making the most of our escapade. As a matter of fact, the cherry on top would be the moment when I even crossed the tight rope and jumped off it into a 12-feet deep water. It was beyond what I had imagined myself to do because the last time I checked; my friends were not even able to force me to try the pool slide. This shows that the experience has allowed me to go out of my cocoon and allow myself to fly, quite literally, so that I can appreciate more the beauty of life. For that, I could say, it is and will always be one the best outdoor trips I have ever been to.

F.R.I.E.N.D.S.



The experience gets even better when you share it with great friends.


Honestly, they didn't come in the most special packages. Nevertheless, they made a difference, a huge difference in my life.


Thank you. Alex. Cam. Nikki. Pearl. Rina. Ella. Jen. Eunice.

If the mind keeps thinking you've had enough
But the heart keeps telling you don't give up
Who are we to be questioning, wondering what is what
Don't give up
Through it all, just stand up.

Jeanne

Mt. Manalmon
















The ultimate experience.
