What's Behind The Actual Game

Two days before the game, we already have a clue on what to do during the game day, but honestly speaking I still didn’t get the whole idea of the game. Then when we were already on the ground, I did figure it out and I kept saying “Hala! Lingaw lage ni.” Seeing my classmates jumping from one plate to another knowing that the distances aren’t equal and the numbers aren’t arranged is really amusing. But that’s just it; it’s my version of the story. If I were one of those members of the group, I don’t think I could even suggest a brilliant tactic for us to make it on time without any errors. The heart of the game was for the group to work together without event talking about it. It’s like a mutual understanding between two persons, no words spoken and no signals delivered, and all that matters is that you have one goal, and that is to succeed.

There were two things I’ve learned from the activity: one is that following instructions really matters, otherwise you’ll end up making mistakes; and two is to learn to observe and pay attention to everybody, presence of mind. I understand, it was hard remembering all the numbers touched but I guess paying attention will minimize the errors committed. And honestly, being an umpire, it was a bit confusing when people started walk into the plates.

Stolen

You epitomize the intimidating beauty of coldness in spite of its warmth all over your expression. You’re the exact personification of confusion since day one but still charming as the snuggling Shih Tzu. You unintentionally paint pictures of simple gestures and unconsciously draw me smiling all by myself. I'm not really sure where this is taking me but I'm willing to leave everything behind and move forward. I don't know what this entails but I'm willing to take risks for as long as you and I deserve it. I'm not so sure of what this means to you but I want you to know that I'm willing to open up if only you'd ask me to. You intimidate and irritate me, Yet you inspire me. - M

Sadly Missed, Lovingly Remembered

There were two persons who came to my life whom I barely know but both touched my life unexpectedly, shared a great secret to me and had left me the moment I needed them most. The only difference they have was that the first person promised to come back while the other one didn't say a word. I've been waiting for the first person to come back for almost half a decade but she never showed up, the only thing she had left me was a small Science Dictionary. I've been searching for her in the internet. I was young then that's why I couldn't remember her exact appearance. I lost her phone number and all I have was the name of the town where she came from, if only I could go there by myself then I would have done it a long time ago. The second one was the person who taught me to be strong, the person who said that there were still good things he found despite of my shortcomings, the person I thought would never leave me, and the person who made me change the ...

Out Of Reach

Moonrise, I gaze at you before me, too far but you seem so close... Twilight, you shine like you're the only one that lights up my world... You fill up the darkness so I could see the beauty around me... Your shadow draws through me like it is intended that way... Yet I know you aren't shining only for me, I'm really dreaming... As you start to go higher, you become too far to reach, worlds apart... And I am left alone in the darkness yearning for you to come back... But even if I could turn back time, still, I can't hold on to you for good... You have a life to live, a mission to fulfill and I am out of the picture... All that I get to do is treasure those times I get near you and keep it... - M
