"Our world is full of selfish and greedy people. They all have something to fight for, something to witness, and something to say. Indeed, we are conquered by the darkness, and the light we thought we possessed was blinding us to what is real. Open your eyes. Don't let ignorance be followed by regrets." – Miss A, Erity In just a month, my life turned upside down. Sometimes, I’m asking myself, what I have done wrong to experience this? To be stuck in pain, unable to move forward and see the light. They said good people, has the most tragic life because God wants them to be strong. That everything is just a challenge. I don’t wanna question him pero bakit kailangan may mamatay. Why does it have to be my baby? Ang baby ko na walang kamuwang-muwang sa karahasan ng mundong ito.Somehow, part of me feel glad because my angel wouldn’t experience this pain. The pain cause by selfish and greedy people. That he wouldn’t witness how the justice I thought would help me, is the one who stabbed me
"In the long run, we shape our lives, and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility." - Eleanor RooseveltLaw, people are bound to this word. It a system of rules that one nation needed to adhere. There are also individuals who serve under the law, a duty that oath to abide by the truth, but only by the truth. And I think that's the beauty of law, by serving its purpose to the world. But what if the justice was rotten? That the scale of the law was biased and manipulated? Can we blame the law for that? Or blame the people who has the power to control the law? I think if there is someone working under the law who stay true with their oath, not being blinded with greed, then maybe we can get the justice that we deserve. Getting my fact straight, there is a law of pressumption of innocence, meaning an accused must be presumed innocent until his guilt is established by proof beyond reasonable doubt. That is the r
“To deny the cry in my soul is to deny the beating in my heart” – Nikki RosenKinuha ko ang payong sa backseat ng kotse. Lumabas ako at binuksan ito. Dahan-dahang naglakad sa park kung saan una kaming nagkakilala. I look around and saw him waiting for me under the lamp post.Napahinga ako ng malalim at dumiretso papunta sa lalaki.“Nathan” I mumbled between the sound of the rain. I look at him and saw his eyes full of emotion.Nanginginig na napahigpit ako ng kapit sa handle ng payong habang nakatayo ilang metro mula sa kinatatayuan nya. I don’t want do this but I couldn’t lie to myself anymore. The moment it happened to me I couldn’t feel the love that I have for him. I didn’t seek his presence and comfort. And maybe it is because all I felt are grief for the one I've lost and indifference for I've become. “Babe” sambit nito at sinubukan lumapit pero humakbang ako paatras. Sinenyasan sya na wag lumapit. “I’m sorry if I didn’t let you fight with me. If I pushed you away, for not say
"Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life." - Galatians 6: 7-8 Marahang nagkakape ang chief officer sa kanyang opisina. Habang sa labas ay abala ang ilan sa pagkausap ng mga taong may hinaing o reklamo sa mga sandaling iyon, ang iba naman ay tahimik na nagkakape habang inaasikaso ang mga dokumento ng mga detainee. Payapa kung titignan ang paligid. Malamig ang simoy ng hangin at makulilim ang langit dahil halos kakatapos lang ng malakas na ulan. They were working in peace and since it was a sunday morning. Kakaunti lamang ang kanilang ginagawa hindi katulad sa mga balisa at busy na araw nila. Lumabas ng silid si Investigator Adral at napahikab. Dumiretso sya sa pastry at ginamit ang coffee machine. Plano nyang maagang umuwi mamaya dahil hindi sya nakatulog ng mabuti kakaaral sa kasong ibinigay sa
“Bad things at times do happen to good people.” – Hospital Playlist 2Napatawa ako sa binabasa. It just that, the female lead was harassed by someone in a club then as a revenge, gamit ang milkshake na inorder nya ay inalagay nya ito sa loob ng pants ng lalaki at walang kurap na sinuntok iyon. I smile in trump when the scene I'm reading right now goes in the female lead who throws a stone in the car's shield. I smirk. Nadampot ko ang libro sa loob ng opisina ni Investigator nang bigls ay nakarinig ako ng kumosyon sa labas. Tanda na andyan na sila. Saglit akong napatigil ngunit itinuloy ko ang pagbabasa nang napalingon ako sa lalaking pumasok pero agad din namang napangiti ng makilala iyon."Kuya, you should be waiting in your car." I said but my brother walked towards me. Hinaklit nya ang braso ko at hinila patayo."We should get out of here" mahinang bulong nito habang pilit hinihila ako papaalis. I flicked my tongue inside on my cheek and shove his hand away from me."I know what I'm
“Life isn’t so fair for all of us. Some spend their whole lives on unpaved roads, while some run at full speed only to reach the edge of a cliff.” – Hometown Cha-Cha-ChaMinsan kahit alam natin na panget ang kakahantungan patuloy parin tayo sa pagtakbo. Not because you are too stubborn enough to stop but because you know, there is no reason for you to stop and the only way that you can do it is to move forward. Until you reach the edge of the cliff, gladly falling in the deep and wishing that somewhere down there. You can find another reason to live. It was a risky move. I know that in the first place but I still choose to do it. I wanted justice, I wanted people to know how they cannot trust the law and how rotten it is. And that is what I've gotten pero kapalit pala nito ang kalayaan na mayroon ako noon. I wonder, if I didn't choose this path then what will happen next? Patuloy lang ang taong yun sa pagsira sa pamilya ko? Ako na mananatiling mahina sa mata ko at mata ng maraming t
"Law is an excellent model of how life should be lived." -Miss A, Erity Indeed, it's true na kahit anong bilis pa ng takbo natin, hindi natin matatakasan ang sitwasyon na mayroon tayo. Escape is not a solution, but rather a portal to fantasy. Kahit pilit mang kalimutan, pilit mo mang isawalang bahala at sumabay nalang sa agos ng buhay. Hindi noon kayang pawiin ang sakit na iyong nararamdaman. Hindi na kayang tanggalin ang mabigat na bagahe na bitbit mo sa iyong bawat paghakbang. Luluha. Magagalit. Malulungkot. Ngingiti. Tatawa. Matatakot Iba't ibang klaseng emosyon na nagkapalit-palit na ng ibig-sabihin. May ibang malungkot na nakangiti. May mga tumatawang natatakot, may mga umiiyak na nagagalit at mayroon ding luha na hindi mo alam kung bakit. Emosyon na hindi mo malaman kung anong tunay na diskusyon dahil sa sitwasyon na kinasasadlakan natin. Kaya ang tanong na paulit-ulit kong naririnig sa utak ay kung kelan magkakaroon ng linaw ang lahat? Dahil pakiramdam ko hindi kailanman
"The man who seeks revenge digs two graves." -Ken Kessey Have you ever felt a numbness in your heart that makes you want to just stop everything? Do you feel alive but feel like you're not breathing at all? Is it as if your body is an empty vessel drifting aimlessly? That your head is under the water, submerged in sadness, while your soul has been wounded innumerable times by the world's poisonous needle? And you just want to sleep until everything is already alright and everyone has forgotten or moved on from what happened. Liar... I am liar Ang sabi ko hindi na ako iiyak. Ang sabi ko magiging matapang na ako ulit at haharapin ang lahat ng mga taong umaalipusta sa aking pagkatao. Ang sabi ko hindi na ako magiging mahina ulit na tila wala na akong lakas pang mabuhay sa mundo. But why? Why do I feel like everything doesn't make sense anymore? Pakiramdam ko lumulutang ako sa gitna ng bagyo. Hindi ko na masundan pa ang mga pangyayari. Masyadong mabilis. Wala na sa ayos. Hindi ko na ma
