As a Sociologist, I can make change!

In my hometown, some trees were cuts and caused great damaged into the beauty of nature and so with the citizen living on it. Problem arises from time to time. Flood, illness both mentally and physically, some even gets rebellious. Why? Because it’s an island with many awesome and wonderful places to visit and experience, number of tourists decreases which are ‘just’ the root of income next to fishing. So fewer tourists’ means less food that leads to malnutrition and eventually, family problems occurred. And then, comes the society.

Thinking like a sociology scientist, I know that I can change it. And I also know that probably there are people who attempt to change it, too. But why isn’t it happening? Most probably because there are people who uses their power to resist that change.

Cutting trees are illegal but still a person tends not to follow the rules because they have powers. Power for some, hunger for others. That’s why our society is living in a messy world.

I know I don’t have the power to change them, but still, I know I can contribute to my society by changing how they think towards their life, by encouraging them to start put it into actions. What’s the use of ‘People Power’? A small action could change it all. Planting trees could be a small step and some things tend to follow to change eventually. It’s just a matter of cooperation, social interaction and the will to change things.

My only happiness lies in doing the will of GOD.

Going to church really brightens up lives. It is where you can find inner peace. A place where people are in contact with God thru praying silently. Perfect place to find yourself and build again the YOU that might be lost by sadness and overwhelmed by too much happiness.

It's a place where one deserves a wish granted. Its a place where you can be guided by light and can have happiness if only you're doing it HIS way.

Confessions.

The thing is. I thought I had myself totally adjusted with this new atmosphere. But every time my mum visited us and when she goes back. THAT feeling won't just let go. I MISS MY MUM and MY DAD too.

In times like this, I have to carry on my courage and eventually, hopefully I can manage. I HAVE GOD BESIDE ME, always.

Our Life is a Quest for HAPPINESS

For my three-day vacation back to my own hometown, I got stunned just by looking at beautiful sceneries, fresh scent -things and how these things change just for months.

Riding 'roro' was life-consuming. I even ended up thought of things like " is this worth it? am I just wasting money for coming back here for just a short period of time without even mum at home?" 

My mum was having a 10-day seminar at Butuan. But when I arrived home I saw my grandparents outside our home. And every thought inside my head evaporated. I can't stop myself waving at them while paying the trisikad driver.

Truly, there is no Place like HOME - especially, when the people you love is in it. I miss laying on my bed watching T.V. and that sunlight from your window early in the morning, that will heat things up and you have no other choice but change your position so that your face is away from that direct sunlight and instead its your feet that face and suffer the consequences of the heat of the sun because YOU are loving the moment and all you want to do is lay there rest and sleep even if its mid-day already ignoring all the blabbing that your grandmother had said early in the morning to wake you up and eat your breakfast which is sweet because you haven't tried eating pandesal with milo in your garden watching the sunrise and birds chirping in a tree just above your head surrounded by the people you love talking about just anything for a long time now .  SO ON for that. haha! How Lovely is that. Right?

Seeing my High School Classmates again after 6 months was sort of exciting. Physically, some of them change, some just stayed the same. But one thing really stayed the same was the tie that connects us from one another. Although we come up with a problem because of an unfortunate thing happened to one person in our batch that affects her closest friends. We somehow manage to help them reconcile and clear things up.

I loved talking to my former classmates. We had really many interesting things to share with one another. We talked much about our College Life. Our experienced thru completing the first sem of college years. How it been so different compared to high school. And how we ,fortunately, survived.

It's so sad though knowing that some of us didn't proceed to college because of financial problems. Instead of studying they worked to support their family needs. But I salute these people to what they have done is Heroic. I mean I started to appreciate the things that I have. Thanking God that I'm fortunate enough to go to college even though its hard and probably lots of problem to deal with. But, eventually, I realized that my problem was nothing compared to them.

We talked a lot. Enjoyed each others company. We strolled. We swam. We ate. and We laugh despite Life problems. And I love how we respond to each other. I think our relationship towards each other was even more higher.

Now I'm gonna Miss them. :)) But that's how life works. DEAL with it! 

P.S. Even more Sadder when I realized that we haven't make remembrance. you know Pictures. :) But there is - in our Hearts. Dramaa!

The happiness once felt turns a million times heartaches.

| Wishes do came true when you least expect it |

Early June, I received an unexpected call. At first I didn't really got excited cause' it happens all the time and it didn't came true. But early Late of June came and it was confirmed. Nobody knew except I did. So I spread it with my family in a kind of " hey! I'm just joking my leg! " sort of way. My mum sort of got mad at me cause she said if thats true then she will know it first thing first.

But I guess my mum won't know things first after all.

late Late of June I remember that night. People were busy decorating while I got hook bracing myself. I reckon my cousin asked me, " how's your heart? " again and again with the same statement rather than a question. "It's indescribable! ", I answered her in my thoughts. I keep on pondering of what would I do first when he arrived. I'd imagined of running towards him as soon as he opened the door. Giving him the berry hugs and kisses. And saying, " Welcome home papa!", in a most sweet and jolly voice.

I didn't notice that I fell asleep...

zZz.zZz.zZz

T'was around 11pm when my sleep had been interrupted by a shouting voice. I was in a moment of 'loading' then I refrained myself knowing that the time has finally come. This is it!

My Kuya woke me up cause I was still pretending to be asleep. I looked around-no one. When I tilt my head upward - I saw him smiling at me, waiting to be approached by me. Then he said, " Hi den, nandito na ako di mo lang ba i.huhug papa mo?" 

I was really surprised even if I already knew that he would come. I didn't notice the next time happened. It was just like yesterday, when he came back. We did things that might be ordinary to some but it was really super extraordinary to us. Like we cooked our favorite food  together , we shopped, he drove and picked me up at school. We heart to heart talk 'personally' and not thru phones/chats anymore. And we've laugh and smile and hugs and kisses and ate together and prayed together.

It was like yesterday when we are a complete happy family.

Today I'm on my bed listening music. I covered my body with another bed. And just like a ham on a sandwich with lots of sauce. I cried and cried cause I know for sure deep inside my heart that I was loved. And its so hard to imagine that he was gone again. The feeling of having a father evaporated on a blink of an eye just like a water vapor on its journey away from where it belong. When will I see you again? 6 years from now, again? Thats long!

But I'll be here always waiting for you to come back. I wonder why we have to be separated again. Was it impossible to stay here by our side? God please make it possible cause this heartache is unbearable. What more would he feel? Alone in abroad?

P.S. I wrote this after my  Father rode his Taxi to airport. It's kinda late though cause it's already November now. But still, I remember THAT moment and it really make me cry just to think of it. I forced myself to think of it to the other side of the coin. To think Positively. And make that precious moment A TREASURE. =]

I  my Papa!
