It has been thousands of years since philosophers pondered the question "Who am I?" Yet no one had fully grasped the concept of self.
I sighed knowing this book about existence will be too hard for me to understand. I've been reading quite a number of books already yet all the information I absorbed just entered my brain and exited some other way.
Mrs. Bautista is already staring at me, perplexed on how I'm even trying to hit my head with a thick book, forcing to transfer all the knowledge on my brain.
I'll just go home and eventually think about it.
I held some books in return and gathered quite a number of new books to supplement my studies. After all, given that I ha
I was confident until a moment ago, I'm afraid that I had yet to comprehend that being suddenly held by him is nerve wracking, my new found confidence just puffed out of the sky like a balloon exploding due to extreme atmospheric pressure. I wished I had known that, that moment the water droplets rain down the summer road, he will come to save me like a prince in a wondrous fairy tale. * * * Standing on the road side, agitated by the mere thought of finally meeting the girl who he had been looking for for the past week, Jaiden brushed up his hair, tidying it to the best of his abilities. He is constantly looking at his watch, even to the point of counting his fingers from ner
Of course, he was surprised. Who in their right mind will slap themselves, in front of the other party, without prior warning? I mean for else's sake, I prevented myself from kissing a stranger. Well, I did know him but from his point of view I'm just a girl he just randomly saved, thus a bona fide stranger. Despite my cheeks starting to appear red, that was a slight punishment for thinking something as kissing him. Still I didn't expect him to apologize because I slapped myself. "Sorry, you seem kind of startled," he said, puffing his eyes for forgiveness. I just went on silent mode and walked away slowly. "Just think of it like nothing had happened."
She opened her eyes in a sterilized bed, the smell of bleach was reeking around the area, it didn't seem odd as the bed was facing a white tiled bathroom recently cleaned just a few minutes ago. For a moment she was perplexed, but after quickly realizing the event that evening, she sighed. "Looks like I lost to that uncle," she said. Her body was still sort of heavy from the cold, but it is evident that her condition was a lot better now. "I need to get out of here." She stood up from the bed and located her belongings now dried and neatly placed on the corner of the room. The table, and electric fan that she thought she lost was along the bunch of things that were resting th
"Ugh, Why are there so many customers today?" I said as there are many people entering and exiting the convenience store. Honestly it is a good sign that many customers are coming, so the owner might decide to increase my pay. Well, that is kinda impossible in reality but there is no harm in hoping. "Here is your change," I said to the teenage guy who just bought a can of soda. "C'mere girl!" Someone shouted, I noticed that a university student was hitting on the girl outside the store. It is obvious that he was drunk. Of course people didn't mind them, they just went about their own business. As for me, as much as I wanted to come to the rescue, I'm afraid that I'm too wimpy for this situation. I took my phone and snapped a picture, it might be used as an evidence for sexual harassment, I'm also secretly recording a video in
The young night sky glimmered with flashing lights, and the sound of a sultry band was playing in the background. For a moment the cold ice slowly sublimed on the wooden table as Matty was sitting nervously on the corner of a certain cafe near the Capital. She was calm at the most part but there is this slight fear in her eyes. Today is a rather important day because this is the day that the world will know who Mariano Fernandez was. To her, he is her grandfather, to some he is a father, and to many he is the current President of the Republic Philippines. There is a very heavy personality there in the whole nation. But all of that will end today. &n
"Irene! Look here…." Athena shouted as she ran across the hall. "Ohhh…. That's perfect!" Irene said. She grabbed the announcement poster glistening from the refraction of sunlight. Holding it on two ends they both placed it on the bulletin board for everyone to see. "It's definitely a wonderful day….." Irene said as she stared at the paper announcing an extensive feeding-program, her hand was on her waist and a grin was painted on her lips. It has been two weeks since she started working here, and today, she is no longer a staff member only allowed to do random chores. Just two days ago, she had been en
It was never my intention to get caught up with Jaiden's pesky advances. He is becoming overly friendly by the minute. He now frequently visits me in the convenience store, slowly I'm starting to find myself always with him. Of course, it is not like I disliked the development and everything, it is just that the more we spend our time together the more I lose the chance to confess to him… about the reality of Caroline's identity. To be honest, I can somehow feel that he is just forcing himself on me so he couldn't think about her… like I'm just like some kind of past time or something… I was standing at the entrance of C Mall where he told me to meet him. We have been spending two weeks together as friends and I'm starting to learn more
All she could think of is the fear, delight, and confusion from all the things that had happened today. She hasn't yet recovered from finally having the courage to accept her current life in Barangay Iniwan, and now the past is knocking at her door just before she could establish her future. "Oh, Irene, where are you going?" Athena asked, seeing Irene dashing straight outside the hall. Meanwhile, Alfred and Elmer who were outside the building were perplexed as she hadn't responded to their greeting, she just went past them as if they weren't there, "Did something wrong happen?" they both asked themselves. Irene ran and immediately jumped on a trike on the way to the Capital, "Manong, hit it!" Instructing the driver to speed up which it
