SOUL SEARCHING

The last stick of cigarette between my two fingers gave me a reason to stay longer on where I was seated. After a few puffs, I pondered how my life became this year. It was really a turning point suggesting me to start anew.

I stumble for a quite number of times but I didn't learn. I lost yet I didn't try to fight for what is really for me. I just let them pass.

As the sun sets at the horizon and my cigarette stick is about to be consumed, I witnessed a scenery waiting to unfold – the blast of orange light plowing out the blue horizon. Yet, the panorama of excitement didn't last that long. It was so good that it has to end in a jiffy, just like what happened on my past which is waiting to be erased at the back of my mind.

Now, I no longer even know who I am. I don't know what I want. I have no idea of who I want to be. I just don't know.

The only thing I know for sure is I need to soul search on my new adventure. I need to find the one who once became me.

WHO’S YOUR BET?

I'm not really into politics, but lately I become more interested in choosing a leader of our nation. This will be my first time to vote although I'm already on my 20's.

I was having a chat with a friend when out of nowhere; he asked me whom I'm going to vote on the next election.

I weighed-in those presidential aspirants and I'm putting my bet to Gibo. It's not because he has the looks ala-Mr. Pogi but he's earning his credibility in leading this third-world-country. Although he's been quiet before he was announced to be the standard bearer of the administration (read: I said I'm not really into politics, I don't care if he is part of the administration or with the opposition), his accomplishments are now slowly resurfacing. And unlike other aspirants, Gibo stayed put on the ground.

I'm annoyed how other aspirants spill out deliberately what they've done during their terms. Villar's stunt of fetching abused OFW's, Roxas' pedicab performance and Noynoy's sympathy-drama from his parents, I JUST HATE IT!

Well, I hope that the next LEADer of our nation will really LEAD us to a more developed, less corrupt country.

INTRODUCTION

We always hear that life is a one way travel. Whether we like it or not, we can never get back the things we missed yesterday. Along our journey, we will encounter a lot of bumpy roads, but who cares, there's no other way but to move forward and enjoy it.

As the hand of time revolves faster than what we think, why not have a stopover and take pleasure in?

So pack up your things and get ready to run, walk, get wet, breathe the fresh air and live the life we have!
