 "Isulat mo ang mga naiisip mo kung di mo masabi ang gusto mong sabihin." Way back in year 2000, mahilig akong magsulat. High school student pa ako ng mga taong yan. Lalo na kapag may mga pinapakopya yung titser namin sa manila paper. Magmula sa kaliwang pisara hanggang sa kanang bahagi nito. Umaabot pa nga kadalasan sa pader na may dilaw na papel na nakadikit eh. Then mayroon akong kaklase na kinalabit ako habang nagsusulat ako. "Drew, pahiram ballpen. Naiwan ko ballpen ko sa bahay eh." "Ahy pasensya ka na. Wala akong extrang bolpen eh. Manghiram ka na lang sa iba. Ito ngang gamit ko ngayon paubos na rin ang tinta eh." Sagot ko sa kanya habang nakakunot ang kanyang noo. Akala pa yata binabarbero ko siya sa sagot ko. And speaking of "barbero", Nuon pa man uso na yang kataga na yan kapag 'di totoo ang sinasabi nung nagsasalita. Kwentong Barbero ika nga. Katuwaan naming mga magkakaklase nuon ay ang magku...

 "Boss, wampipti lang." Sabi ni 'Kuyate' pag-akyat ko sa overpass ng Cubao. Pabulong niya lang itong sinabi sa akin nang makalapit siya. "Boss, wampipti lang. May tawad pa." Napaisip ako saglit. "Ano 'yun?" Sabay alis ko na lang na parang walang narinig. Nagnilay-nilay ako habang ako ay naglalakad sa sinabi sa akin ni kuyate. Kuyate means kuya na ate pa. Sa palagay ko'y alam nyo na ibig kong sabihin dahil sign na rin ng respeto kaya di ko na sinabi main word. So, eto na nga. "Nang-aalok ba si kuyate o nanghihingi?" Inulit-ulit ko yung word na "wampipti" hanggang sa na-realize ko na one fifty ang sinasabi niya. "One-Fifty? As in, one hundred fifty? Ahh... Nang-aalok siya na one hundred fifty lang." Pero ang main question duon eh ano kaya yung inaalok niya sa akin na worth one hundred fifty? Napatingin din ako sa likuran ko o sa tabi ko na baka naman may tinitindang so...

 January 07, 2022          Each and every life of a person has its own journey in life. Besides individual differences to one another, there are also differences in planning on how to reach the dreams and will become true someday. But this could only happen if you will exert efforts for the things that you really want to happen in your life.           A simple effort is very important to attain a little bit of achievement in life.           

 January 06, 2022          I came to school early in the morning to complete my requirements for my Master of Arts in Education (MAED). Those are the recommendation for admission and the performance rating form that should be signed by our school head or master teacher.          I came to see Mrs. Alabado, our master teacher, whom I am going to ask to sign my recommendation for admission but unfortunately, she was not there. I asked our school head if she could sign the recommendation form instead of Mam Alabado but Mam Paulina refused to sign because the reason was that she could not sign it due to not knowing me very well to rate me. She gave me back my form and she told me to come back tomorrow or the other day depending on our Master Teacher, Mam Alabado if she is about to have her duty in school.           I went up to my room located at a 4th-floor building in our school. I stayed for a while to t...

  Dear Sir/Madam: The four words and eight syllables define my saying “Sacrifice first before pleasure.” If you want to get something, you should do something in order to achieve it successfully. Sacrificing has many definitions depending on how you use the word to express thoughts and deliver those meaning to others. In my own version of sacrifice is all about giving yourself up to your loved ones especially the family. A sacrifice in which you can do anything no matter how hard it is just to put things in accordance with your will. But destiny always does challenge us and give us obstacles to test our abilities and our strengths to measure our limits. So, we have to think and plan things for the betterment of certain performances. Execute them very well in order to achieve the goal we want to be attained.  I have done many sacrifices before I reached the kind of life I’m having now. There are lots of obstacles I encountered even odds as my life goes on.  I tried to give...
