Graduation, then...

What to expect after graduation? Graduation, as they say, is not yet the end, of everything, the dreams, and aspirations in life, rather it establishes yourself, a better you, a stronger, giving us enough courage to endure and to survive, as well as continuous determination to achieve and to succeed. Wow! That is something deep and serious. Right? So what’s the whole point? Excitement in elementary graduation is far different from college graduation....

Photo Shoot, Photo Break

This is a pre-summer special post. College life wasn't that easy. Every student has their own issues and concerns. Surely, money tops these. It's very difficult to budget allowances - for food, school contributions, death aid, school fines, cellphone load, drinking sessions and luxuries. It also creates a controversial aspect in the society as students submit themselves to prostitution to earn for tuition fees. Emotional distress follows it. Students...

Into Lacoste and Crocs

In search of something-new-subjects for photography. Early afternoon, I saw a scorpion. I was hesitant to kill or preserve it. Choose to be safe or risk myself and improve my subjects in photography. After a minute, I pressed my foot on it. Why? It’s simple. I love my life. But after doing this, I feel sorry to myself for not having the courage. How I wish I could have one like Kuya Kim (Refer to his Matanglawin show) who is not afraid of cobra,...

Finale

Determination and strength: My luck, my charm not to stay out of the game! It was lunch time, I didn’t pray for the food. Instead, for claps and appreciation. And to rank first in class. Three o’clock prayer came. I didn’t rhyme with the group. But wished to become the valedictorian, then cum laude after high school. Dinner time. Bed time. All I prayed. Aside from kired ken pigsa (fortitude and might). Were honor, distinction, commendation, fame,...

San Nicolas | Tribeca Coffee

A cozy-and-comfy break after a cheap-and-cheesy day! Practice. It entails a lot of hardwork. Patience. Sweats. Then, most of it, murmurs. Grumbles. And complaints. Graduation. Exciting as they say. And I must say, "Yes! I'm excited!" Didn't expect to be as exciting as this. Well, excitement goes in a higher level for health sciences students, like us, nursing students, with two graduation - the clinical and the mass.  First stop, is our...

Bangui | Mountain Resort

The verge of tsunami alert: An eye opener for the start of Summer '11! March 11, 2011. I was in school. I spent the whole day in taking the diagnostic exam in preparation for our review for the Nursing Licensure Examination this July. Five o'clock hit the clock. I went home. To my dormitory. Walking. Thinking. (Sigh). It was a tough day. Really. Tired and wanting a big gulp of cold. I opened, not the refrigerator, but first...

Magical 2

A relief from nature. I rested on my nest soporifically,And never veered for something else.Tatty feathers were scattered,But they didn’t cause to bother.The next thing I can remember,Was the sun stroking radiance on my face.“Holy crap,” I tweeted,And I immediately stood up.Still dizzy, still weak,To start a new day of challenges.Now I realized, crows weren’t that effective;That I woke up indolently, after the light sets in.Now, I dismantled again...
