Did We Provide?

To provide knowledge, to provide skills.

Last week, prior to the day when we’re supposed to display the bulletin, I was with my group mates. We were working on our designs and stuff and the idea amazed me. I found out that sometimes, it’s a good idea to hang out with the people you’re not close with. I really had fun that Sunday afternoon. I found out how good the feeling was being with the people who doesn’t know me that much, I got the feeling that I have power and control over my personal issues in life by simply keeping in mind that those people I was with for eight hours, knew nothing about the dramas and hang-ups in me. And of course, I get to mingle with them, found out stories and things I never heard of. For a person like me who isn’t that friendly, it was bliss. It was like having a life outside my relationship with my family and close friends.

I did get the idea why we discussed first behavioral safety, to prepare ourselves for the possible relationships that we might be able to create while working on so many things with our group mates.

Personally, I think the project-making gave me knowledge and skills that I wasn’t aware of before. It’s just so sad that we weren’t able to provide the same thing to others through our project, I guess. The same sad feeling when the motor we used for our fan wouldn’t work because of the foam’s weight that the motor couldn’t bear.

About that, our teacher may not like this, but with all due respect, when he said: “If you have taken me seriously…” I got shocked because I think I did, I think we did or should I say, we all took it seriously. But then again, I couldn’t blame him if he was disappointed (if I am even right about the exact word), because he has seen something better and something amazing than what we’ve done.

The truth is, even if it turned out that way, I’m still proud that I did try my best, our best; to give something we thought isn’t mediocre.

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
