Orphan

Bloody Dream

          3 AM. I woke up in the middle of my deep slumber because of a nightmare. It wasn't clear to me what that nightmare means but all I knoe is that it was scary. I felt chills as I replay what happened on that dream. I saw two hands bathed with blood and it has a knife on its left hand. The bed was soaked with blood, the whole room was. I felt nervous as I remembered every scene on that dream. After a while, I returned to my sleep.

          Exactly 3 AM I woke up again. I am very confused because it was like the time stopped and I'm on the same situation again. I saw blood on the whole room and the bed full of blood. There was a body lying on the bed and she was so white like a snow but the difference was that she was wearing blood. I walked close to the body and when I turned it around I saw my face, my body and wearing same clothes lying on the bed already dead.

Mga Hayop sa Lipunan

Ayan na ang unggoy, ngiting yeye sa’yong harapan
Hahatakin ka ng pagkalakas-lakas
Iisahin ang buhok mong lumiligid kuto’t lisa
Kapag wala ng mukha, tsaka ka hahamakin.

Sa bawat kilos at tunog ng inyong mga paa
May pusang sa gilid ay nagmamatyag
Hayok na hayok sa isdang nakalatag
Nilimas ng magnanakaw ng walang kahirap-hirap.

Tila asong nauulol na sa pagmumura ay malupit
Tenga’y nabulahaw, ngayo’y nagpipintig
Nakapagtatakang pag-uwi’y nag-anyong pilit
Gayong ale’y kakatapos lang ipagdasal ang daigdig.

Mga hunyango nga naman doon sa bayan naming
Kay hirap makita, lalo ng mapansin
Magaling magpanggap, lalong henyo sa pakikipapel
Isa lang ang nais, at ‘yon ay sa iba lumebel.

Ibong kinulong, ‘di makaalpas
Hindi makasalita, ni makahayag
Ng nararamdaman ukol sa kaguluhan
Mistulang isang laruan sa kanilang kulungan.

The Legend of Vines

          Once there was a rich man named Alvine whose an owner of a hacienda. He was a boastful, cruel and prideful man. Everyone was afraid of him because he has so much power and so wealthy that he can manipulate things around him.

          One day when he was roaming around the hacienda, he saw one of the workers that was sleeping under the tree. He went near he man and shouted at the top of his lungs. He was very mad because he don't want anyone slouching or resting.

          "Hey you! Why are you sleeping?! Get back to work!"

          The man was startled and nervously got back to work. Many workers saw that and and they were so afraid thats why they continue working even if they are restless.

          The other day, one of his amigos went to his hacienda because he has an agenda to make.

          "So, I heard that your business was successful."

          " Of course, that's an easy thing."

          "I came here to invest on your business since it was very productive and I know that my money will grow in no time."

          "Sure! You can rely on me I'm good in this business."

           Years passed, his amigo was now richer than him. He was renounced as the richest man on his town but now became second place on the rank. He planned to kill his friend so he could bring back his throne.

           He invited his friend on his hacienda and killed him when it was night time. He buried the body on the soil and as time passed, it became a tall tree with huge branches. Before his friend died he cursed him that if he did not change his attitude he will forever be crawling on the ground.

           When he died, he turned into a leafy plant that's crawling on the ground. He will crawl on the ground as a punishment of him being boastful to others and also for him to stay low to the ground.

Pause to Continue

          Human do have a very interesting life. We experience many struggles that challenge and teach us how to be stronger. Sometimes we feel like giving up because we think that we don't have the chance to have a better life. But life is a cycle so we should not end it and just breath so we can move on.

          I think the semicolon best suits my personality. A semicolon indicates a pause in a sentence but does not end. Sometimes you may have stopped, but you choose to continue. Whenever I feel like giving up I always think of the things that will keep me going and I use that as a motivation. I'm a pessimistic person sometimes and I think that I can't do or finish something. So what I do is I just stop and collect myself and reflect. I just rest and didn't stress myself. Too much stress ang negative thinking brings me nothing. I always end up doubting myself. So I just rest and reflect. I think of the things that I need to finish and my goals in life and through that I'm back to a person with full of determination to finish things.

          When I started something I finish it. Even if I experience many things that will hinder my way to the finish line or my pessimism dragging me down, I still look to the brighter side that will bring hope to me. I may have stop in the middle but I choose not to end it there, that's not me. I do not leave things undone. No matter what happens or struggles that I will face I will not stop and will continue moving on.

          I can compare my lifevto a heartbeat. There will be ups and downs but it should not stop and should continue so I could live my life to what it should be. Just like semicolon, I may have stopped in the middle but it doesn't mean that I will end it there. I just need to take a rest so I can continue without minding the things tha will block my way. I learned that I just need not to overthink and just go with the flow.

Bio

Writing is my passion,
Reading is my hobby,
Singing is my talent,
Dancing is my skill.

I look like perfect.
But deep inside I’m just pretending
that everything is in the right places.
But on the other half,
I’m just a broken piece
trying to make a perfect whole.
