It was around 12:30 and I was at the grocery, I was busy getting some apples when a teenage boy goes over to me and hands me a cold bottle of water and a magazine. I thanked him, but apon pagbaba the magazine it was full of lies. It was trying to convert me to Christianity, so before I drank the water, I threw the ice-cold water in his face, dropped the magazine, and sinabi "If your so-called "God" exsisted, why didn't he stop me from doing that?" The boy simply replied "Because your denying his love". Right away, I replied "Oh please, If there was a God, I bet you he'd rather prefer a good honest Athiest than a preacher on Televison going around lying about his healing powers". He was angered "And how do you know who God would prefer?!" If it was even possible at the time, I was calmer than before and answered. "The very same way the bible was made". I smiled warmly as I saw him stomp away with anger.
A Child's Mind
A child's mind is so soft a clay
mold it to into anything you may
it's tender and innocent so, for the moment
let it free to play!
Nothing does it know, of the Life's Dirty Play
For it life is all Bright and Gay
It is True, Sweet and Pure
But the way it is, Let it stay!
For in this world of misery and grief
To my mind is a relief,
that a Temple of Innocence
in the world still does exist!

The Falling Man
One of the most haunting larawan captured from 9/11, it shows a man free-falling after he has jumped from one of the windows of North Tower. He was one of the people they call “Jumpers”, who chose to jump to their death rather than get suffocated sa pamamagitan ng the smoke or get buried under the rubble. Some called them cowards, while some sensationalized them as tragic symbols of 9/11. But the fact of the matter is, it was a hard choice for anyone to make, and one can not really judge the decisions a person makes in times like these.
People, you rant so much about how you have a hard time making choices. Whether you should work on your assignment or go out with your friends. Whether you should petsa this guy or that guy. Whether you should break up with your boyfriend or not. Whether you should wear the kulay-rosas blusa or the baby blue one.
Imagine the choice this man had to make.....

Imagine the choice this man had to make.....
if someone is making you upset, just say "look how carless and mean he/she/they are/is."
if someone doesn't believe you, just say "i can't do anything to change your mind."
if someone doesn't like the way you are, or they want to change something about you, say "i didn't make myself like this. this is how i was born. take me as i am, or don't accept me at all."
if someone is bullying you for "no reason", it's because they like you, or is jealous of you, or it's the spirits clashing.
