XVI - The Fear Onstage

I remember seeing an article about the list of things people fear the most. You may think that the first one is death, right? Well, you're wrong. Death is only at the second place. Public speaking is the number one fear of humans. Standing on a stage, facing a large audience with cold hands and...

XIV - Stolen Words

Most of us may have committed crimes without knowing it. Illegally downloading pirated movies and songs is one of those, but the worst and heinous is plagiarism. Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary defined plagiarism as "the act of using another person's words or ideas without giving credit to...

XIII - An Artist of Poetry

We consider poems as an art. Poems are where we can express ourselves in words. Through poems, authors leave their messages, thoughts or ideas to the readers, in hopes of them remembering a piece of their personality. One person achieved this—which is none other than Gémino H. Abad. The poet...

XII - Regrets

A lot of people have regrets. We hope we should have done that one thing that will make us happy. Yet we haven't achieved it due to various forces that contradict our decisions.

X - White Smokes, Dark Lives

Some people smoke for their own pleasure. Some for satisfying their addiction. Some for relaxation. Some for relieving stress and problems. And some for a "slow death."

I have a confession: I am a so-called "otaku." Before you go "weeb!!!!!1!1!" or "eww ashgdsdf," I am not that kind of fan.

V - "History was written by those who hanged the heroes."

Having encountered the quote in the title, I think it greatly describes our country's history. When we were in elementary, we've all had our fair share of knowledge in our country's rich history. Yet, we've been led to believe the lies with our innocent minds. We've believed that our history is mainly...

IV - New Perspective

A labyrinth of confused thoughts. A disarray of distorted images. A riot of rebellious ideas. Delusions of daydreams. That is what composes my life right now. A mess. Something you cannot put together. Broken and fragile, I get lost. Lost in this world or lost in my own thoughts? Either...

III - Castiel Speaks

You know, I've been here for a very long time. And I remember many things.  I remember being at a shoreline,  watching a little grey fish  heave itself up on the beach  and an older brother saying, "Don't step on that fish, Castiel. Big plans for that...
