"Time Machine"

Since then, I really wished for a time machine. I don’t know if it can be possible since I was a kid, during Christmas, I asked for a time machine to Santa. And until now, I still dream for it.

            But the big difference, when I was a kid, I want a time machine to travel into the future because I am sick of being a child. I want to get out from the stage when I was always scolded by my Mom and when I was always commanded by her to buy some stuff. I want to escape from that time when I am least considered during adult talks and I am strictly prohibited in going out with my playmates.

And what’s annoying in childhood times is when my parents beat me with stick on my butt because of my mistakes. I also really hate being a looser every time we play hide and seek. It’s really frustrating to win in our games like jackstone, patintero, Chinese garter, football, etc. and I really feel upset when I end up being a loser.

That’s how I think when I was a child, very childish and immature and I think that’s tolerable since I was only a kid.

But now, that I reached my adolescence stage, the stage that I dreamt for when I was a kid, I still wish for a time machine. But this time, I want a time machine that will bring me back to the past…in my childhood days.

Before, I really wanted to be an adult but now, I realized how difficult and challenging it is to become an adult. It’s tougher compare to the life of childhood. Problems get more complicated; furthermore, immaturity and childishness won’t be an excuse anymore for my mistakes.

I now see the true world and the flaws beneath it. Decisions are very vital in journey as well as the strength to carry on.

I really missed my childhood days when I only endured petty problems like being a looser in the game, dirty clothes and the fear of being scolded by my Mom, forced eating of veggies and obligatory sleeping in afternoons.

Indeed, life becomes tougher as we grew older and it is inevitable. But at the end of the day, I am still the one to be responsible in handling all of these. Greater age requires greater responsibility.

Now that I am matured enough, I also accepted the fact that there is no time machine at all. Time machine will be forever a dream for me, a dream created by selfishness and discontentment.

Time is really a precious thing. So let’s enjoy and treasure the most of it. Life has no rewinds and fast forwards and of course, there’s no time machine to bring as to the era where we want to stay. Let us all seize each day, enjoy and be thankful for each sunrise that welcomes us and the sunset that bids goodbye. After all, all this is a temporary life, a preparation for the eternal life with God for those who believe. =)

"Friends Forever"

Living without you is such a misery

Just like living in an island solely

Grieving in solitude and melancholy

Suffering alone from my deepest agony

You are the one who can make me feel eased

During those times that I feel pissed

You also rejoice in my time of bliss

And abide with my weirdest stories

You really know me above all

All my life issues and heart call

You became the storage box of my secrets

And for that, I don’t have any regrets

All the words that I hold out on

Were all uttered to you my dear companion

For I have no guts to speak what’s on my mind

All those words that were kept behind

I admit that I am not that absolutely loyal

Especially when I meet new pal

And I might not recognize you sooner

Once I lose my senses as I grew older

Still, I am confident that you’ll be there

Even when I am left by all other

So my deepest gratitude will be forever

To my dearest friends, pen and paper

Music: The Greatest Companion

What’s life without music? It’s not a life at all, it’s lifeless…

I can’t imagine the world without the element of music…the music that will harmonize with our everyday life mood and experiences; the music that will be our greatest companion in the happiest and saddest part of our life.

Music has multiple identities and comes into different forms depending on its “duty” in a particular life episode of the listener.

Music can be a romantic movie that can rekindles the love in our heart and brings out our deepest emotions. It prompts us to appreciate the essence of loving and to be loved by someone.

It can be our great friend who will empathize with us during those heart break moments. Though sometimes, it may trigger the pain, but it’s perfect melody played with hurtful words are just enough for us to relinquish the pain and extract it into tears so that the heaviness within our heart can be lessened. Indeed, it’s a best partner in times of solitude.

Music is also an effective medicine as it heals and replenishes our mind. It relieves us from uneasiness to bring relaxation to the ears. It also acts as a sedative that brings tranquility and make us calm until we fall asleep. While upbeat music can sway us to dance into rhythm and feel the enjoyment to seize the pleasure of life.

It can also be our video tape as it helps to playback moments and bring back memories from the past. Memories that can be delightful or full of sorrow and these were replayed in our minds as we heard a single music.

It might also act as our diary because it can be our avenue to say and express all the untold feelings and emotions. It’s like a great way to cope with all the words that kept behind us, words that are usually cannot be uttered to someone directly. It’s the explosive expression of humanity because when words fail, music speaks.

It is also comparable to inspirational book that motivates us to strive harder and to keep strong despite all the challenges in life. It helps us to be optimistic.  Music is also like a prayer that serves as a medium to communicate with God, and to express our deepest gratitude as well. It delivers hope, gives joy and boosts faith.

These are just some of the role of music in our life. We varyingly appreciate each of these roles depending on what circumstance we actually have at the moment.

Good lyrics blended with appropriate melody produces a perfect harmony that can enchant and captivate our heart, mind and soul. Music is not only made for the ears, it is the language of love, pain, joy, grief, pleasure, hope and faith.

Each adventure requires an anthem, every moment needs a melody, and all of life's little pains deserve a psalm. Music is such a good companion that will never leave you alone even when all other people left you.

“In Just a Snap”

I only met you for ten days

And I was captivated by your face

Your smile drives me crazy

Though I know it’s not for me

I like the way you laugh and talk

As well as you crack jokes

Your voice is enchanting

And your charm is never ending

You’re my perfect ideal man

The prince in my dreamland

But it’s all for my fantasy

Coz I’ll never be your princess in reality

In just a snap, I fell in love

Unexpectedly for you

In just a snap, I fell in love

I wish you’ll love me too

I’ve never been like this before

Cupid strucks me for sure

How you’ll hear this heart call

If meeting you again seems impossible

Indeed, I’m fool and insane

For I imagined that we’re destined

I’m such a crazy girl waiting for you

Just like waiting for the moon to turn blue

Waiting for you is the foolish thing I ever thought

It’s like expecting for the rain in this drought

Useless and very disappointing

But in my subconscious, I’m still dreaming

                                                      In just a snap, I fell in love

                                                           Unexpectedly for you

In just a snap, you were now gone

How I wish that I didn't met you
