Take Me Back

 

Take me back to when I used to think the moon was following me.

‎Take me back to when going to urban places felt like a whole day travel.

‎Take me back to when I thought a week felt like a month and a year is enough to do all my plans.

‎Take me back to when I was a child and oblivious of everything. ‎


‎Learning is a blessing. ‎

Discovering things, and being knowledgeable about them are essentials for us in growing. ‎

Though a great deal yet it pains.

‎When did simple things become so complicated? ‎ ‎


Take me back to when my tears were because of being hurt while playing, ‎

And not because of the pressure I am feeling.

Take me back to when everyone thought it's fine to know nothing since I was still a child,

Because knowing nothing now is like failing in life. ‎ ‎


Survive is now the goal when we are supposed to be living it.

‎I am on the stage where dreams felt like delusions and impossibles ‎

Instead of being the tip of my pyramid—

The final stage and goal; the purpose why I am doing it.


‎Take me back to when I was wearing the attire of my dream job,

Smiling and thinking that I could be there easily.

‎Take me back to when changing the attire is fine,

‎Because I still had time; I was still a child .


‎Knowing is for the dream ‎

But knowing isn't healing the child who dreamt. ‎

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 ...
