“Life and Death”

Life brings happiness

Death brings sadness.

Life is a gift from God

Death is the will of God.

Life is simply a journey

It is fleeting.

Death means everlasting life

It is eternity.

So live life to the fullest

Because we are all passing through.

Death is inevitable

When we see God face to face.

“The Story I like to tell”

The story that I like to tell is one of the books that I have read that really has a great lesson. The title of that book is “The Secret Dreamworld of a Shopaholic”. I like to tell this story especially to teenagers who wants to shop all the time. This book imparts one great lesson and that is we have to spend our money wisely. Most teenagers love to shop in the mall but they have to know how to minimize their costs. Rebecca is a financial journalist. Her work is to write about how to spend money wisely. She is totally the opposite of what her job is. She always loves to shop. Whenever she sees new clothes that she really likes in a store, she buys it immediately without checking how much it costs. Because she can’t control herself from shopping too much, the bank sends a letter to her that she has many debts in the bank and they have to cut-off her visa card. Many things happened to her life when she was in that situation. She soon realized that too much shopping is not good. Yes, we can still buy things, but we have to limit ourselves from buying too much things. As possible, just buy things that are necessary.

“Teaching to learn”

All of us learn from what is being taught to us. Just like in school, our teachers teach us so that we can learn something and apply it in our lives. The best way for us to learn is when we are taught. Also, when we teach, we also learn something. It is because when we teach, we have to fully understand what we are teaching to others and so this also means that we learn as we teach.

“Self-Reliance”

My own understanding of self-reliance

Is when you are an independent person.

You don’t rely on other people

But you do the things you want yourself.

As early as now

We should learn how to stand on our both feet.

For time will come

That we will have to live life on our own.

Self-Reliance should be our motto in life

For we have to believe in ourselves.

Believing that we can do anything

No matter what circumstances may come our way.

“Buried Alive”

To be buried alive

Is not as easy as you think.

You are still alive

When they buried you in the ground.

No air and so dark

That’s what you’ll experience.

You can feel the soil

Covering the parts of your body.

It is so painful when you are buried alive

Coz’ you are really suffering a lot.

Knowing that your are still alive

But you’ll be dead in a while.

“My favorite Song”

My favorite song is Collide

For this song really sounds nice.

Together with its beautiful melody

Is a very wholesome message.

Every time I hear this song

I always feel that something nice would happen.

Even though this song is played several times in the radio

I still love to listen to this song.

My fave song really inspires me a lot

For it really has a good lesson.

Despite all the things that happened to us

We can still change for the better.

“If God can take care of birds,

He can take care of us”

God is our Creator

And so He made all living things.

If He can nurture the birds,

He can also nurture us.

God loves all of us

Whether we are rich or poor.

His love for all of us is equal

Regardless of our status in the society.

In return for all the things God has done for us

I will love everybody unconditionally.

For God wants all of us to be happy

And so I will do that best I can to make others happy.

“My New Year’s Resolution”

I want to change this 2007. This is a new year for us to start again. My New Year’s Resolution this year is that I want to change my bad traits to good ones and also I will read more books. First, I want to change my bad attitudes form the past because this year, I want to be remembered as a girl who is beautiful in the inside. Also, I want to change because I know that some people also get hurt because of some of my wrong doings. Second is that I want to read more books. Since I have only left with less that a year to increase my vocabulary for the entrance exams for college, I want to work hard. I want to make my parents happy. Of course, I know that I will make them happy if I will work hard. I will make this year a better year than last year.

“Pleasing the real reason for the season”

Christmas Season is fast approaching

So all of us should be happy.

Pleasing the real reason for the season

Is what we should all do.

Christmas is all about giving

That we should all follow and do.

For it is Christmas when all people are happy

For it is the perfect time for all of us to celebrate joyfully.

Love, share and be happy

Should be our motto this Christmas.

Let us think of others first before ourselves

Coz’ Christmas is all about sharing.

“How do I want to be remembered”

I want to be remembered

As a simple girl with simple dreams.

To be remembered

And will always be treasured.

Material things are not important to me

Coz’ these are just earthly treasures.

What is important is what we feel

So that people will love us for being ourselves.

I’ve learned many lessons in life

That I should always follow and continue.

“My own Araby”

My own Araby is my crush

That I have always liked and wanted.

Sad to say that I can’t have him

For he went somewhere in just one glimpse.

But still I am happy

For I know he too is happy.

My dream to be with him can’t come true

For he is somewhere there in the blue.

I’ve realized that all of us should stay happy

Coz’ life is all about happiness and love.

Always learn how to love

Coz’ it’s the best thing in our life.

“Epiphany”

The light bulb moment of my life

Is when I didn’t talk with my sister for a couple of days.

She tried to talk to me

But I just answered her questions directly.

And then I realized

That I should not fight with her.

For she is my sister, my own flesh and blood

Whom I should love eternally.

I am so lucky

To have a sister like her.

Who is patient enough to understand me, her lil’ sister

And try to solve our little fight

And love each other wholeheartedly

“Conquer your demons or you will pass them on to your children”

All of us are not perfect and so we surely do commit mistakes in our life. All of us must fight back our demons so that our children will not get the bad traits that we have. And by the way, demons are like our bad traits in life. We have to do something to stop our bad traits. We have to resolve them so that we will not pass it on to our children in the future. Everyday is a new day for all of us and so we must not go back to our past and try to be a good person.

“And summer’s lease halt all too short a date:

Sometimes too hot the eye of heaven shines”

For me, this phrase means that summer is like love. Sometimes, our love to a person will not last forever. We have to make the most while two lovers still have feelings for each other. Sometimes, their love for each other is so great that it seems that the eye of heaven shines. Love is intangible. You cannot touch it, but you can just feel it deeply. Love is everything you see in this earth, people loving one another wholeheartedly.

“My only love sprung from my only hate”

For me, this phrase means that your only love turned out to be your only hate. This situation happens in reality. Our true love may be the son of the family that our family despises. This situation also happens to me but not romantically. Sometimes, my sisters and I fight and so it is just normal to hate each other, but soon, our hatred to one another will fade away. Even though sometimes we hate one another, deep inside we still love each other. There is a phrase that goes: “Love is like a wind, you can’t see it but you can feel it”.
