Learning

When i was just a child, i was careless, carefree.
I don't care about what's happening to our society. Until i reached high school. Everything changed after graduating high school. I took Mass Communication as my career course, maybe because i had a huge fear of Mathematics subject. College is a whole lot different from highschool. At my school, most of the students are like me, i mean in terms of being carefree, careless, well, can i blame them? they're also students, minding their own monkey business. As for me, as a "go getter" type of person, i joined a lot of organizations that honed up mu skills. But, after i was part of the UPHL gazette, as a student journalist i found out that life really isn't that good. It isn't about rainbows and butterflies. It awas really tough for me at first, but now, im really feeling the intense pressure of this organization. I learned to appreciate the little things around me.In addition, i learned to be abreast with the current events that's happening around me.
Really, i learned a lot. and I'm willing to learn more. Anyway, i'm still young, i WILL learn more.
Now, do you ask me if I'm still carefree?HECK nO! i still have to learn.

A Fun-filled Trip

Confused, Excited and happiness. These are the emotions that i felt Sunday morning before the Gazette Orientation. Not a clue for what to happen in the day. Really, i wasn't able to get a good night sleep thinking what in store for us apprentices.
I want to explore new and exciting things in my life. New experiences, New faces, New Friends, New capabilities, New potentialities. That is my mission in joining the UPHL Gazette.
The Orientation was held in Tagaytay. As i was expecting, ther are some discussions about what the organization and the persons behind it all. There are some discussions about the historical sketch of it. I've learned a lot from the Editorial Board. Not only educating us and honing our skills in writing, but also enlightening us in the realities of life.They defined the concept of "For Whom?"
The Editors?! They're like my brothers and sisters, very approachable and kind. They are very intact and well bonded with each other. Critical Thinkers, that's what they are.
Well, the orientation is not all about discussions, there's also games and different activities that hones my writing and thinking ability.

Magic of Darkness

Close your eyes for a while,
Once again,
As a simple music,
the weak music of our surrounds us.
the rush of emotions,
the avaulability of love
Reborn, Rebuilt.

Our simple dreams continues,
Every memory that we had.
Rushes back behind my head
the magic that the darkness is having,
To ease
To unwind,
Dark as it may seem, but very calm.
Back of all the hard day's work
Release the tempting emotions
To ease
To unwind
To calm
My feelings for you will never fade
Always here in the darkness,
Calling out for you...
