Passport #13

Just because there's nothing wrong with you...
It doesn't give you the right to laugh at other people.

There are better ways to spend YOUR time rather than insulting others.
Be ashamed.

Passport #12

"He was free to enjoy the breathless glee that overwhelmed him: the speed, the clear cold air, the total silence, the feeling of balance and excitement and peace."
- Lois Lowry, The Giver, Ch. 11

Today, when i was walking to PE class...I felt Life.
It looked at me and I looked back and...for some reason, it made me smile.

Passport #11

I realized that im being too unfair and selfish. You know those days when you say that "you hate your life", "this day sucks", "i can just die", or "everything is going wrong with my life"? when in truth you know that it isn't? yes, im guilty of this and it's such a shame that no matter how much i try to be positive..i still can't.

It's unfair to think that MY life sucks when
-some people dont even get to eat a proper meal and i complain about not getting to drink starbucks
-some people sleep on the streets and they're even lucky if they have a karton to sleep on and i complain that my bed is not soft enough
-some people dont have anything to eat the next day and here i am wasting food every single day
-some students dont have baons or even a peso in their pockets and i complain that my allowance is not enough.
-some people dont have anything to wear and i complain about how many times i repeat my clothes.
-some children walk barefooted on the hot asphalt and i complain because im not wearing havaianas.
-some people dont have a pen to write with and i complain because im holding a panda pen instead of a G tec
-some people dont even get to hold coloring materials and i complain because i dont own a set of steadlers
-some people are born without limbs and i complain about my thighs because they're big
-some people cannot afford to go to school and i complain because i hate my school
-some people walk god knows how many kilometers just to go to school and i complain because i have to commute
- and the list goes on...

see how unfair life is, do you see how selfish i am. do you see how cruel the world is?
IT'S TIME TO CHANGE.

Passport #10

You know what? we're all lucky, it's just a matter of counting the blessings.

It's a natural thing not to have what others have and to have what others don't have.

Sometimes, we just have to look around and learn how to breathe again.

We have to appreciate even that little, tiny piece of hope in our hearts and let it stay there.

because there's no such thing as "when all things fail"

There's always a way, so there's no point in stoppping

We have to keep moving forward

we all have to believe

Passport #8

Dear You :P

They're my PEOPLE and PEOPLE keep you going. PEOPLE is better than no PEOPLE. - grey's anatomy

I miss my friends. :( I miss our random talks and random laughs and random weirdness and random crying moments. I miss being with them coz when we're together it feels like I'm in this another world where sadness doesn't exist...it's just a world full of rainbows and butterflies. (I blame Cea for the cheesy part :P )

Passport #7

Dear reader

I'm really scared of swine flu.

There's this student in la salle who has one which made the university suspend classes til june 14. It's scary!!1 :(( I really don't wanna have and I definitely don't wanna die yet :((

I'll pray for the la salle people. Hope they don't get it. :)

I had my orientation today. Pretty fun!!! :D I know I can get through all of this!! ako pa :> :> :> hahha. I just need to have that right attitude and yeah.. game na! :D Got my manuals also... i'll prolly study them starting tom. y'know, im that geeky :)) hhaha.

Passport #6

Swine flu is in the Philippines.

you are not welcome.

buh bye :|

I caannot wait for school to start. I'm gonna die of boredom here in the house. I've been tweeting and tweeting :)) reached 1000+ tweets already haha.

hey! today is Champions league final! Let's go Barca! :D

I'm so annoyed with the Hayden Kho scandal. It's everywhere. :(( What's worse is that even the politicians are butting in. Why can't they just focus more on something important, something that WILL ACTUALLY HELP THE PHILIPPINES RISE ABOVE ITS CURRENT SITUATION. something like education! :)

And now even the mother is involved! What the hell? Hayden is an adult. Whatever he is now, is not his mother's fault. Sure, the mother was the one who raised him up (and I'm sure that she took care of him and raised him well. Sino ba ang magulang na gusto maging ganyan ang anak?) but there are also people who influenced Hayden to be like that. At his age, he should learn how to dwell on his own issues. Other people should just mind their own business!

ok, just wanted to let that out! haha.

Passport #4

Hi,

whooppsss, i missed one passport :|

I've been writing with my left hand the whole week, not because I'm injured or something, It's just that i really want to learn, haha. My hand writing's a complete mess though but I think I'm getting better, I have more control of it now. I just really need practice and patience coz it really gets on my nerves at times :)). There's nothing else happening in my life right now. Well, I'm taking five meds because of my cough and the Doctor said that if they don't work, I'll need to get an X-ray. Hayy.. i need to get well soon. :)

Passport #3

Hi,

I know it's Thursday already but hey it's 1:30am...so I think that's acceptable haha.

Nothing's happening to me. :|
I don't know what to type.

oh! I'm so pissed off with the tv sched listed on the espnstar site. Two days ago i checked it and the liverpool game was scheduled today at 2:40am but then I checked again today and it said that it was yesterday. :| how annoying. Good thing there's a replay later at 10am...but there's no fun coz it's not live. grrr....Oh, im so happy that liverpool is going to have a game in Singapore and Thailand..i think...yeah :) cool yun! asia ehh :)) but duhh, even if it's near the Philippines i still can't watch. haha nangarap :| :))

Passport #2

Hello reader :)

Here's another passport because it's Wednesday. Honestly, I almost forgot about this :P Summer has been very uninteresting. Now i know that boredom really kills you, gosh, you have no idea how crazy I am already. I'm just really happy that I have my football addiction to keep me sane and the company of my cousins.

I jogged this morning in manila memorial park. It's a cemetery but people really go there for jogging purposes as well, haha. So don't be weirded out or something. But then it rained a bit so we had to stop and find shelter in one of the 'houses of the dead'..haha guess what, we found shelter in Ninoy Aquino's tomb. astigerz! haha.

You know what I hate about memorial park or cemeteries like that? The tombs are so grand, I mean they're like houses. Some even have ac and restrooms which i find really unfair. A lot of families in the country are dying because they don't have houses to live in yet you see these dead bodies placed in structures, houses...whatever you call it that are even better compared to the houses of people who are actually...alive :| I Know that we have to respect the dead, but really...having those kind of structures built for them is exagge.

the world is unfair...so don't expect her to be fair to you.

I think it's just really giving your best in everything...everything that's good and life-giving. I guess everything will be okay because at the end of the day even if you're dead tired you can still smile at the world coz you've made people happy.

Introduction to Passports

During the the last english class I promised myself to continue writing passports. FYI, in english class, a passport is not a document used for the purpose of international travel but rather a document written on a 4x6 index card where we (the seniors of AC) write about anything we want to share to the teacher. I'm actually not sure why they're called passports...all i know is that when a student doesn't have a passport, she can't participate in class or she's sent out of the AV1 plus get 'sermoned' at.

My passports really helped me to just keep going, not to lose hope and live life.

Most of my entries were about stress, all my emo-ness, and i vent out too. What i really love about the passport is that the comments of my teacher just magically turns everything into the right place. You know how you feel very negative about yourself and then you read a piece of paper saying that 'it's ok' or 'good job!' then suddenly you feel like the whole world is smiling at you? Well, that's how i feel when i read the comments. They're like affirmations and affirmations save people :)

So from now on, every wednesday i will write a passport (which can be read by the whold world! :)) haha.) Comments are soo welcome! :)
