IT IS 9




It is a story that no one can understand.

‎It is like you're reading it backwards or holding it upside down.

Or even if you read it properly,

No one can feel the words' intensity the same way the author put into it.


The sound of the keyboard is creating;

The stroke of every letter;

Every word creates

The feelings she relays.‎


The short pause after the phrases,

Ellipsis of hesitations,

‎Exclamations of madness and pain,

And dots of endings.


‎It is not a mere story.

‎It is a book of realization while she lives her life.

Sadly, no one cares for the chapters,

‎Everyone is waiting for the plot twists‎.


Just like no one really cares which one's real right,

They just know both are.

Some say it's six,

‎When it's really nine .


The difference between you two is—

She holds the book right as she's the one who writes,

While you hold it upside down and barely get the sentence.

‎Yet don't worry, your six looks nine in mine.

Felt and Filmed

Some people say that life is more beautiful without cameras; ‎ Life is more real behind it; ‎ That life, is not what we captured, but what we felt. ‎ But real life is honestly its entirety. ‎ ‎Recorded laughs and cries, ‎Randoms and skies, ‎ Moments we try to keep and remember the longest time, ‎ And perhaps, not wanting them to slide. ‎ ‎Not just only the memories; the people as well. ‎ People that offered hands and hugs; ‎ Handkerchieves or glasses of water. ‎The events that they made life, lifer. ‎ ‎ Life behind the cameras may mostly be my favorites ‎ And life being filmed will be the proof why they are my favorites. ‎ Captured or not, real life is the entirety of it, ‎Nothing's more real and nothing's lesser. ‎ ‎ For we all know that one day, ‎ We'll forever be thankful for that life that was felt and filmed ‎Because that could also only be the life That we could be left behind, one day. ‎ ‎[07182025]

The TOTGA Thoughts of Chinnie Balungcas

     Chinnie Balungcas, 17, a Grade 12 student, daughter, granddaughter, responsible, brave, ambitious, and a TOTGA. The one that got away. You might ask why, in what part or in what situation, and how. Well, her story happened.      Chinnie is in a family of eight—her parents and her 5 siblings. Her mother, Gina, is a housewife, and her father, Arnold, is an Overseas Filipino Worker(OFW) in Papua New Guinea. Her siblings are named: Pamela, Geselle, Karel, Justin, and John Michael. She is the fourth child of her parents. Her family lives in Manila except for her father who is working abroad, and she, who is living with her grandparents on her mother's side.      Erlinda Lapiz, 72, the grandmother, took her from her parents when she was eight(8) months old. It was because her parents couldn't sustain her needs; her father was jobless at that time and the reason why their family is financially unstable. So, Erlinda, together with Alejandro, 82...

2012 : If the World Really Ended

If love is measured by the bouquets of roses ‎ Or the places you two visited ‎ How often "I love you" was said ‎ Or how many months were celebrated ‎ Then I don't know what love is ‎ ‎ All I know was the hugs of the heat of the sunlight ‎Until it gets dark and replaced by the moon and its tranquility ‎ The comfort it brings together with the breeze of cold winds ‎ Swinging the trees that make sounds like a whisper ‎Until the birds sing and chirp again in the morning ‎ ‎ With you, that's how I count our time ‎ That's how every day goes by ‎ Taking note of every detail ‎ Having faith that this love will prevail ‎ Until the end of infinity ‎ I am not the shadow that leaves you in the darkness ‎Trying hard to be that rhodopsin instead ‎That, even if the world is in the shades of grey ‎ You'd still see things that would make you stay ‎ Promise I'll hold you in happiness and pain ‎ ‎But if it unfortunately will not go far ‎ You are the memoir I'd write and ...
