Life @ Seventeen

Maybe crossing from our childhood days to facing bigger
responsibilities and living as a matured humanized individual is one of
the hardest part of our life, from our past experienced including
facing in a worry-free life up to awakening up with duties from everywhere
and facing more hard trials. Many of our youngsters tend to fail
facing real life due to coward ness and as a result we became rebellious and
aggressive, we became emotional, we feel that everything might harm or affect us
or with just a single event we easily feel frightened but if we will just wish to see
all those things have a simple reasons behind, things will be antiquated
if we will be more prudent and will bear wide understanding in every
situation, everything will be so easy and things will passed anyway.
There are a lot of good and hard things in life at seventeen.

I really did not expect that things would change when I'll enter this age, at first
everything runs through my expectations and old customs. The same job has been done,
going to school, jamming with my favorite gang, to spend, be happy being careless,
doing things that’s in, hanging with the youth of my age, to eat, to give white lies
to my mama, to escape from household chore as every same age does, do my hobbies
and vices and more but of course this is where I have experienced to enter in a
relationship. My life become meaningful since Galli becomes my man. I feel that I
am precious and I played a big role in his life, I thought it will be that easy
to live life with him not until we come up with this trial that widens my understanding
about life that shows me that I am now matured. My family doesn’t want Galli be
my future hubbie nor as my boyfriend of course it really hurts, after all we treated
each other significantly. By that time I realize that my decisions in here are really a matter. I’m now older, I know everything, I can now stand the difference between right and wrong. These are the reasons why life at seventeen is really different. The fact is to stand for your self alone.

It is not true that teenage becoming the societies epidemic, come to think of it, in this very age our knowledge and capacity of understanding widens, that you take duties and responsibilities inside the society where you belong, you’ll see the importance of your individuality and the real meaning of the world and life in a process, even we frequently get to be taken a back with most of the things, still we are in the place to learn, but sometimes emotions often get the advantage over our capacity to think and judge. What ever it is, you must remember that you can stop everything and time will comes that everything will gonna be alright, we shall be glad most of all before we enter the legal age that all of our thoughts and opinions are widely accepted and our decisions become the statue of our own policies and principles in life.

I remember some perceptions that one of my closest friend shared to me, he said that the age gap of 19 and 17 has a big difference even it is just 2 years of gap, it is enough for us to gain skill and experience and for us to learn everything about our self and attitudes deeply, and so 19 and 17 is not merely related. There are a lot of possibilities you can do in just a single time. One or two years more or even many years to spend, the value behind is that we are learning and growing and that we teach our self to and to ride in the journey of time and evolution.

We always got frightened to show our hidden thoughts, we don’t know how to reveal to everybody and into the whole world that we are now matured and we all have the rights and freedom. If we will just see that everything are getting clear because our outcome becoming careful enough to handle situations, that we criticize things as it has to be, we are more conscious and aware, that we value our self more than before thanks to our life at seventeen. Every seconds of our youthful life counts because time will come out of season and we know we can’t go back, so it’s not worthy to spend your youthfulness crying and wondering with no actions. We are human persons, whatever it is we always have the capacity to change and rule over the things.

In the next coming month of April 2008 I am now 18 years older, with no regrets and doubts. I know I had learned enough living in the past few years and I will continue to learn more. I’ll leave the childhood age with hope and experiences. This is where I need to start the real life, I only have to bear in my mind that each of my thoughts and opinions count and that my decisions is my own law to follow. Good bye childhood life and life of being dependent, I am just like everybody and it will be exciting to follow the next chapters in my life closely, but what ever I will passed through, what ever it will come out to be or what ever we will come out to be… lets admit it, there’s nothing exactly like life at seventeen!!!

Whoa!!!
Go April I Know you can do it!!!

Love lots,
My Self

A Spooky Party

Many things are unbelievable and so hard to believe in, but sometimes we use these abnormal things as something to make fun of, something for a children to have fear of, best subjects for most popular movies, we use to have a blaming matter for every malefic occurrences, and we make party to celebrate creepy, sometimes as a Halloween party, can we possibly say that a spooky is a happy party? just what we expect from the famous wannabees there? In us, people didn't practice to celebrate boisterous poltergeist there in every corner, or to prepare eerie vampire their favorite spooky spider cakes, but there are those who want to have a chance for experiences, like me and some of my friends. Unlike any other celebrations Halloween party is totally different compare to those common celebrations and party that these words are always on the line: " Happy birth day, Happy valentines, happy anniversary, happy chuva-chuva, or anything with happy. Trick or Treat is the famous lines in thi...

Eh, How Do I Tell This?

People have believed that there is more to the world than meets the eye. Behind the outward, material appearance of things there is sensed something inward, immaterial and usually invisible. To tell the truth I also having a hard time believing this unearthly things, I tried to separate my self with such eerie matters. But we cannot deny their existence they are part of earth's creation and they take a place in our everyday life and experiences. I grew in Manila, a civilized city here in the Philippines where you wouldn't expect that creepy things exist in here, but we do know that a man cannot invent anything which he didn't know, you know that it exist because you believe eh? y/n? I wont just tell a story related with this, and its not just to tell a story from a story teller ( or wherever i found such stories ) but instead to share my own perceptions about it, to navigate the ghostly world of unbounded spectral encounters. To define the myth and facts behind stories, als...

Why We Had This Stupid Days?

People always seem to find a good days to make fun of. Nevertheless, we usually gone for something we are not sure of. We pretend to be happy with everything we work and we get busy with, but the meaning isn't there and sometimes we know it that we do nothing but just a matter of lame. I have to admit that I had spend my days for lust. I make my self busy doing unimportant things, and I think that is because I'm here as a teenage lost in nowhere. As I pass through many days, I'm starting to realize how I became a piece of junk dragged to streets of junkies. I'm starting to stop doing things which I ought to do for many times. Many times with just the same folks and folklores of endlessness myths. I hate doing things allover but then I didn't get to discover this for many times I played every games. And now how I wish to call for something meaningful more relevant and full of sense... Until I didn't have this meaningful thing I wouldn't stop asking why? and w...
