When I was young, I used to watch anime...

When I was young, I used to watch anime. I remember, I was always excited to go home to catch up on my favorite anime on TV. They were my source of comfort after a long day in school, and I was happy and delighted to finally have the time to sit back and enjoy.
And I have to admit that I’m currently feeling very happy and light-headed because of this amazing show. Sounds corny? Nah…come on, I guess this is how things work when you are growing up…when you are looking for something, like contentment. It’s quite amazing how simple things can have such big and positive effects on me…And I trully feel contented after watching… Somehow, it seems to me that the world suddenly becomes perfect, even for a while…that no matter what difficulties that may come my way, yakang-yakang ko ‘to! Another one of my consolations in life: God will never give us problems we cannot solve… that not all the time we will experience happiness and pleasure. There’s always a time for joy, and there’s always a time for sadness and despair. We can never appreciate our life if everything is one-sided. And what’s the use of having a life if we will never know how to appreciate it and the things around us. As long as we are alive, I believe it’s a must that we should spend each moment of our life worthwhile. I mean, WORTHWHILE…like doing things to help other people… I think it’s about time that we think less of ourselves…that we should expand our concerns, not just thinking or worrying about things that will only benefit ourselves and those people who are only close to us…

Whew…what a discourse…hehe…sorry ’bout that. I guess this is what happens when I’m watching too much anime and movies, and reading very thick books. Haay…buhay nga nman…And yeah, I’m thankful that I’m still alive although I always thought that I’m surviving a terrible war all the time…lucky for me. Actually, it sucks out my strength most of the time. Oh no, i think my melancholia is taking hold of me again… And y’know inferiority complex? May gamot ba dito? Kung wla, I think mabubuhay pa nman ako…(^_^)

A Flower that Blooms at its Own Pace

Image
More than ten years ago I received a few bulbs of lilies, my favorite flowers, from an acquaintance. I planted the bulbs in our front yard and it turns out that the bulbs that I thought all the same were actually two groups of different species of lilies. What species are they exactly I do not have the slightest idea. All I know is that the pink ones bloom continuously throughout the year. But the other one, the fiery red-orange variant, is elusive. It blooms at a certain time of the year only, during the hottest months, April to May. After May, the flowers start dying altogether, and stops blooming, until the next year again, in the same months. What makes these flowers so special and so engrossing to me, beside their beauty of course, is how seldom they bloom. They were there for only two months; two months to admire their beauty, and then they're gone. It's like a reminder how something beautiful can also be ephemeral. Perhaps it's the transitory nature of things

Child of Wings and Green Splendour

A poem for my all-time favorite anime character, Van Fanel from The Vision of Escaflowne. Child of wings and green splendour Born of twisting fate and predestination In your vein flows the blood of a fabled race Inhabitants of land, water and air. Days of cloudless childhood Ended so bitterly soon When one passed away And two vanished without any trace. A land of simplicity and hidden beauty Engulfed by flames and burned to the ground Blood awakens the heart of a sleeping dragon To fight for what's left and rule the majestic skies. Child of wings and green splendor Hands are blood-stained but your heart is wounded It conceals the pain of living alone In a dark and war-torn world. Everything was lost in the hands of a manipulated fate Hope came but it stood so far away One lost heart, always on its own It's still your will that determines the fate of this world.

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
