Something to be Thankful

This is the second poem I've written in July 2005. I was inspired to write this poem after spending one cool December day with a special someone. Unfortunately, that person and I slowly drifted from each other, and nothing came up from that friendship. But it's ok, because now I'm happy.

It was a dream of faraway that I was loved
But I hope to wake up to find it true
On a daylight when the trees sleep in coldness
It was a fateful encounter of two different spirits.

Feeling overwhelmed by conflicting emotions
So many things that others cannot understand
It is tough to accept everything that I see
But I will go on searching for the truth.

The future will not arrive
If I stay like this, I will never see it
This small shell of mine, I have to get out
And wander for sometime in the desolate world.

Things that cannot be change
And feelings I cannot explain
They will go on deciding the path
And in the end of it, love is glowing!

I will endure the feeling of being alone
Trying to be the one that I should be
No matter what I face in a future of uncertainty
There is always hope because you are here.

Even I pass the valley of shadows
And the ghosts of yesterday will appear once more
I will never be afraid, never I will doubt
Because I believe in you even in the darkest nights.

Every night before I go to sleep
And every morning when the golden rays of the sun touched my face
I will fall on my knees to thank our Creator
For the wonderful love that I finally found.

What every challenge is trying to teach me

I thought I'd always wanted to be a teacher. Well actually, there is no doubt in my mind that I always to be a teacher. Teaching has become a passion for me. From being a nurse to a teacher is a complete leap of career move. I realized that by 'accident'. When I finally reached by goal of being a teacher in a public school, I thought, "This is it. I've reach my goal." In my first year teaching in the public school, there were many adjustments. It was something totally understandable since I came from a private school. It was really different. But in my second year teaching, my world turned 360 degrees. Everything just changed. Even my perspective. It actually challenged my own personal beliefs and ideas that I will be a teacher until I reach old age. There were many circumstances that eventually led me in this and got me thing "Is this really the kind of life I wanted? Working 9 to 10 hours a day, being all stressed of so many workload, and the salary

A Bird that Cannot Be Caged

Christmas is almost here! This time of the year is actually the most wonderful time of the year for me. It's not really the money, the presents, or the people that makes me happy. It's the cool weather, the colorful lights, Christmas songs, and the hassle and bustle that the holiday season brings that makes me so blissfully happy. My happiness really comes from within, and it's something that I have that no one can take away from me. This year has been really remarkable. I discovered and learned so many new things. We started our very first business venture, which is our perfumery brand, and of course, next year, we will be starting our tutorial center. Never did I dream or wish about venturing into business. It was something that I did not like before nor had any interest with. I thought I'll just be a teacher forever, and will be "institutionalized" just like the rest, and will live the rest of my life in the service of the 'institution'. At fi

I found a rather interesting article about women born under the zodiac sign Cancer. I was born under this sign. You are among the people most likely to: Cry after making love. Why? Because Sensual Cancers are among the most emotional and sentimental people in the Sensual Zodiac. Secretly, people wonder… Are you real ­ or are you really a fairytale princess come to life? So soft and so sensual, you are like a slice of sunlight brightening up every room you walk into. Your sweet smiles, graceful ways and expressive eyes make you look staggeringly beautiful. You are a joy to watch on the dance floor. You glide when you move and when you laugh it sounds like a thousand violins gone wild. Your eyes reveal so much about you… …your richness of emotions, hopes, joys, passions and insecurities. You long for protection. Your shell is that secret place you retreat to. You don’t like mean and you don’t do ugly. Perceptive, Intuitive and Insightful You have the ability to absorb nuan
