To Believe

This is the very first poem I've ever written, way back in 2005. It speaks so much about my state of mind at that time: sorrow and hope. It seems that I was writing about myself, and at the same, I was also writing about someone..Someone that I wanted to protect, despite my own loneliness.

When the pain of the world seems too heavy to be carried
Always remember to look up the sky
Because beyond this very magnificent azure
You will find the courage to go on

Your faith will never lose you
It will always guide you to the right path
And never forget to look back
At the times that were filled with happiness and joy

And when sadness descended to your heart
And tears spilled with the stream of stars
Remember that the rain will wash the pain away
And the sun will appear once more to light your way

Your brown eyes are windows to your soul
They glisten so wonderfully with innate depth
And in them I see with wonder
A great soul forever longing to belong

I wish with all my heart to feel you for a moment
And cherish with all my life the tender sound of your voice
But don’t you think it is beautiful
If we can walk hand in hand in the silence of one summer night?

I want to protect you from the sorrows of the world
Because everyone has scars concealed in their hearts
But if you became weary and wish to break away
Hold on to your dreams! for they will set you free

I yearn to break free from this tie that binds my heart
And I thirst for the light that will show me everything
But never will I lose hope
Because there is more to cherish and to believe

Even without words, even without wings to fly on
Though in this glowing cosmos our hands cannot quite reach
And when my dream of touching your face melts in the morning
I will still depend on the love that once taught me to believe

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
