Be flattered when people are jealous of you...
It means that that they recognize the fact that there is something about you that they don't have.
They are annoyed with your presence, knowing that you might "overshadow" them.

Complacency
Complacency initiates regrets: I learned this the hard way. My opportunities nestled upon an easy grasp, and yet, I allowed them to gush through my fingers like immaterial filth. Pampered like an infant, being spoonfed with too much comfort, everything seemed ordinary and accessible. Alas, when my moment of enlightenment came, I realized that never will I be able to regain these potential fortuities…
Who would have thought that fleck of iota was diamond dust?
Who would have thought that rodent shit is a sought for coffee bean?
Who would have thought that moment should have been a milestone?
Just because of my complacency, I’m still haunted by regret. Now, I’m grieving over something that I can never take back. If only I have been more prudent with the opportunities offered to me, then my life would be very much different today.
With this, I daresay: abstract or tangible, cherish everything the same way you will treasure the most valuable element. Yes, maybe I learned it the hard way, but that doesn’t mean you’re likewise doomed to suffer the same fate.

The echoes in your head
will always overshadow
the voices of this earth;
yes, even the loudest scream
that could shatter your ears.

THE CATALYST
Always remember:
your complacence will commence
eternal regrets

You can win poker
even without an ace;
you just have to know
when to fold...
when to raise...
and when to bluff
with your poker face.

Nights that often symbolize sorrow can actually be considered a celebration of the strength of family ties:
With the death of Father Sun,
the weeping heart of Mother Moon
is embraced with optimism
through the smiles of bright Shining Stars.

Our hearts,
like pristine crystals,
will be eternally marred
the moment it breaks;
amidst all attempts
to restore its beauty,
it will still remain
to be scarred
and much more fragile.

This world is doomed
to be in perpetual debate,
for the simple reason that
we’re all mere
assuming fools
claiming to be certain
of everything.

Mothers,
being mere erring mortals,
do not necessarily
know the best;
but nevertheless,
I daresay,
that their love
is better
than best.

Embrace is responsible for incubating love;
while it’s the role of a Kiss to be the catalyst of passion.

Silence will never be a yes,
neither will it become a no;
although it may be a safe response,
it will never yield answers
for our questions

Straight From A Mother
With a pristine and delicate life being nursed by my bosom, tears roll down my cheeks as the sudden chill of excitement ignites my heart…
Nothing compares to the thrill of motherhood. Being the instrument of having the ultimate form of tabula rasa come into being is a privilege that is often understated. Sometimes, I can’t help but wonder if we really deserve such kind of blessing.
It’s quite tragic how some people nowadays attempt to avoid having children. With these paragons of innocence considered a burden, I can’t help not to be concerned of what’s in store for our future. If humans continue to observe this kind of thinking, there might come a time that we’ll also face the threat of extinction. Yes, the last statement was a mere hyperbole, but who knows?
No, I’m not saying that we should breed like bunnies… all I’m saying is that children should never EVER be considered a burden. The genesis of this appalling thought is a product of a spineless mind that would do everything just to be spared from responsibilities.
As a parent, I find it insulting to hear from some people that never in their whole life would they parent a child. Believe me, that's the worst you can tell a parent.
Parenthood is not necessarily a walk in the clouds, but neither is it the river of Styx. Yes, often times, you will find yourself almost drained in several aspects; but the moment you surpass that phase, the fruit comes in multitude.
As we commemorate our mothers today, take some time to reflect. Your mother walked the parental promenade that you are hesitant to take. Should she have decided to take the same path that you are opting right now, you will not even need to make such decision anymore.

Heart over Mind?
Mind over Heart?
You should not sacrifice one
for the sake of the other...
The need to be co-existent.
Sacrifice one you will lose your mind,
sacrifice the other, you will be heartless.
Your heart doesn't have it's own mind;
Your mind doesn't have a heart.
That's why they need one another...
and it's your role to play Cupid.

Vacation In Katatonia
T’was the Monday after the Verde Island weekend…
Like strands in a pensieve, series of thoughts streamed in my mind. Each time that I blinked, a vision of my past flashed in my brain like a strike of lightning. As I try to recall the specifics, I came to realize that there was a common denominator… in those events, I missed out on an opportunity in trade of sparing my pride from further injury.
Indeed, my silence deprived me of a lot of things; but I opted to cocoon my emotions and beliefs. This society has yet to understand my philosophy in life.
After being exposed to the trauma of several rejections, my mind is still bombarded with hesitations. I’m still trapped in katatonia.
I may seem to be transparent, because that is what I portray. In reality, however, this world is completely unaware of who I really am. People thought they know me well. Alas, I dare to rebut their assumption. Nobody knows me, not even my own mother.
Each passing day, I find myself succumbing to my weaknesses. Opportunities continue to pass like grains of sand…
Until the day I overcome all my fears…
My silent screams…
My lonely tears…
Will be the sole elements I’ll share my secrets with.
