Happy Mother's Day!

To my mother and to all moms out there, may you continue to love and to be loved by those around you, by your family, your friends, and may God continue to bless you with the strength and the wisdom to lead your children and to protect your family. A personal poem for my mom that I just did at this moment. Mom, do you know how much I love you each day? Though I may not say it in words or express it through my ways deep down inside, I will love you Always and Forever. Do you know how much I cried when you are not with me? How I longed for your embrace, Just the sight of your face was enough for me or when I hear your soft, gentle voice telling me, "It's okay". Have I ever told you how much you mean to me? Every day you work hard every day you give your all and at times, I am insensitive but you love me anyway I know it in my heart and I just want to show it too. Without you, I would not be here From the time I was in you You cared an...

A Short Reaction on the Novel, Sense and Sensibility

Image
I was meaning to write something about this months ago. I finished reading the novel, though I have not seen the movie, I am fully content with the written story. Basically, this is about two sisters, both of which have interesting characteristics, habits, and thoughts about love and romance. Although they seem totally different in their personalities, one preferring silence and resolve, while the other leans toward strong emotional conviction and carefree living. But as I went along the story, I felt the connection and concern of both sisters with each other as they tread a path of pain from heartbreak and treachery. All the while, their bond becomes stronger, and their respect for each other more so. The elder of the two is Elinor and she is more reserved with her feelings than her ostentatious younger sister, Marianne who always finds a time to express her extreme emotions. However, they are equally passionate in their pursuits, only they show it in different ways. More...

Teenagers: 6 Signs of Adolescence

Image
I know many older people would know how it was to be a teenager. I know that gives them the right to boss the younger ones but times have changed. The traditional teenager is different from the teenagers of this generation. I believe that older people have the wisdom to guide the youth but they need to know how to influence them and they can do that only if they know how to connect properly with the youth of this age. I know the older generation would contest that their time was better. But we live in a constantly changing world so we have to learn to adapt and there are now many factors that can affect the behavior of teenagers today. So, there are good points in their side but I would contest that they have many things to learn about us. Based from my previous article, ' Misunderstood ' which was my first appeal regarding this topic, I believe I gave an idea of how it is to be a teenager. From that, we can say that the fundamental want of an ordinary teenager is freedo...

Tuesdays with Morrie: A New Perspective on Life and Death

Image
I just finished reading the book Tuesdays with Morrie and it is as inspiring as what people have said about it. I have read Mitch Albom's Have a Little Faith as well, two years ago. And they are very inspiring, why? Because, for one, it's non-fiction which brings out more emotion to the readers. You feel like you have met the same people and you have been with the author in his journey right where you're sitting. For those who do not know the story, here is the gist of it. In college, Morrie Schwartz was Mitch's psychology professor. But to Mitch, he was more of a mentor. As the story progressed, they became almost like relatives. Often, Mitch calls him "coach" and likewise, Morrie calls him "player". After graduating from college, Mitch started to seek a job but with no success until the death of his uncle drove him to go back to school. Eventually, he got a master's degree in journalism and became a sports writer. He went from Ne...
