Missing The Times










Missing the times that I can go out without worries
Go anywhere without hesitations
Live a life with peace of mind
And greet people with my genuine smile


Missing the times that I'm with my family
Laughing with my sibs and cousins
Hugging my Mom
Playing with my nephews and nieces.


Missing the times that I am alone
No one knows what I feel
All I want is to enjoy
Forget all the things that bothers me


Missing the times that I travel
Take time to reflect and relax
Sleep like a baby that no one wakes me up
Free from stress and judgemental people


Missing the times that I go out and run
Put my earphones on and concentrate
Don't mind how many miles I will reach
Just to stay healthy and fit


Missing the times that I am with my friends
Doing crazy stuffs that makes me feel better
Cracking jokes even if it's not funny
For they are the only one who can make you speak what's on your mind.


I am not a perfect person but I am also human
I also have my flaws
Some people judge me right away, some made false accusations
You only know me by name but not my whole story.

Top 10 Best Guards in The PBA










     You've seen them strut their stuff inside the court, they're not really blessed with height, but how come this minions as they call them can carry their team in a double Overtime or in a buzzer beater, and they can even do a one man game. Well fasten your seatbelt as I am going to give you my top 10 best guards in the PBA:



10. Scottie Thompson
Brgy. Ginebra San Miguel

Consider as one of Barangay's New Kid On The Block, he had surprised the audience with his brilliant guard skills, with his triple double, and fade away jumpers, he is indeed the best rookie guard in the Pro League. Scottie is a former NCAA season 90 MVP, he graduated last year in University of Perpetual help System Dalta. He is a must watch guard in the PBA.






9. Terrence Romeo
Global Port Batang Pier

The most sought after guard that started his career in the Pro league with a Bang. He is known for his 3 point shots, and his post moves that made him to be a part of the Gilas Pilipinas pool, where he gained attention from the International scene. Terrence is just 22 years old from FEU, and he is the UAAP Season 76 MVP. Well he is still showing what he got this season.




8. Emman Monfort
Barako Bull


The main minion as what they call him, is one of the finest guards in the league, this man is known for it's fearless moves inside the court, he is willing to guard a player regardless of the height, that is why he is known as the best ball stealer because his eye is always on the ball itself, and he will test his opponents speed, this wise moves made him recognize as one of the best guards.




7. Justin Melton
Purefoods Star Hotshots

The Quickmelt is known for his dunk skills, Justin is one of the fastest guard in the Pro League, he is just 5'9 but he can jump high, he can also do a fade away jumper and even made a long 3 point shot. Beware of this guy, because he is dangerous inside the court.



6. Mark Barroca
Purefoods Star Hotshots

The Coffee Prince as they call him, is known for his obstacle defense, one of the finest guards in the league with a very good guard skills, he may come unnoticed but he will just surprise the crowd with his performance, this quiet man from the bench is not showy but he is doing it in action. One of the most dangerous guard to consider.



5. LA Tenorio
Brgy. Ginebra San Miguel

LA is one of the wisest guard in the league, he is known for his wise plays, he may not make it on the paint but he will be on the line, he is that wise that I hope any player can adopt, he is one of the key in the triangle offense that made him a wise player, LA graduated in ADMU, and one of the members of the Blue Eagle.




4. Jeff Chan
Rain or Shine Elasto Painters

A shooter in every corner, that's Jeff Chan, he is one of the most silent players in the league, but he will kill his opponents with his 3 point shots, he is a seamless shooter and can make shots in every corner of the court, this is his advantage, you have to guard him outside for him not to make a shot..ideas....




3. Paul Lee
Rain or Shine Elasto Painters

Angas ng Tondo as they call him, is a certified shooter, that is his masterpiece. Paul can even lift his team with his shots, as I can remember he made a historic free throw in which Gilas Pilipinas won a bronze medal in FIBA Asia. He has the angs of a Basketball Superstar, always play with his heart in Basketball.



2. Jayson Castro
Talk n' text Tropang Texters

The Blur, consider as the Asia's Fastest guard and one of the member of the mythical 5 in FIBA for two straight years, he is indeed an exceptional guard with high skills. He is a shooter a good defensive player and a shooter. He is a total package, that's why he is recognized internationally.



1. Jimmy Alapag
Meralco Bolts

The Mighty Mouse, One of the finest Captain and guard after all, he is known for his brilliant leadership skills, he knows how to handle his team mates during crucial games, not only that he has the speed and the shot that can make his team win, well he is just one of the players that has the biggest contribution why Philippines was qualified in FIBA World Cup and made known for Basketball.

Will it be another Five peat?: Tab Baldwin named as the new Blue Eagle Head Coach







Photo by: Inquirer



The long wait is over for Ateneo Blue Eagles as Tab Baldwin was named as their new head coach. As we all know Coach Bo Perasol left this post as he failed to give the Blue Eagle a Championship.

It was posted in the school's website that Ateneo formally announced the appointment of the Gilas Pilipinas Coach as their new head coach for the next season of the UAAP. As we all know Coach Tab known for his excellent coaching during FIBA Asia and Jones Cup. He made his own trademark by using his own court visions during the international games.

If we are to look at the history, Ateneo made a historic 5-peat under Norman Black which set a big expectation to Coach Bo Perasol, but haven't met the requirement to set the Blue Eagles in the finals for three straight years. That led him to resign as the head coach of the Blue Eagles.

I know Ateneo Community has the biggest expectation in the next season, but if I were to give my opinion, no one can dictate Coach Tab Baldwin on what to do, he has his own views especially in the court and he is genius enough to be dictated by the Ateneo Alumni. I know he will set the Blue Eagles in fire next season. But then well see, I don't question Tab Baldwin as a coach for he had proven his worth as a coach, but this is an indeed challenge to the Ateneo Community as well as the players to work hard for Coach Tab Baldwin.

Tamaraws Ended the Batlle and became the UAAP Season 78 Champions










Photo By: Inquirer

December 02, 2015 - Pasay City - The long wait is over for the Tamaraws as they won over UST Growling Tigers on a 67-62 as their final score. Mac Belo played a very good game with 23 points that made him the Finals MVP, and indeed good for him for he finished his final playing year with a championship title. Roger Pogoy scored half of his 14 points in the last 3 minutes of the game including a clutch 3 pointer off  Louie Vigil that put them ahead 60-61, and Mike Tolomia made a basket after a big shot that gave them a 12-3 run.

During the 3rd quarter that Tamaraws made a 10 point lead but after a stepback jumper from Daquioag, UST made a 16-0 blast, but FEU recovered when RR Pogoy made a huge shot. They Silenced the Tigers game 2 hero Kevin Ferrer to just 6 points compared to his 29 points in game 2, Ed Daquioag made 21 points in the game but had costly turnovers down the stretch.

The Tamaraws sealed their 20th Senior Baskteball Championship with a series of  defensive stops and 3 freethrows with 18.2 tick from Mac Belo and Russel Escoto.

It was indeed a Happy Birthday for Coach Nash Racela, for he received the most priceless gift, a Championship Title, I know he is proud of his boys, especially to those who were graduating, regardless of his experience as a Gilas and sinag pilipinas Assistant Coach, for me he is the most patient coach that I have ever seen, I know there's a lot of pressure from his side, but he is still positive that his boys can make it, and here is the result, believing in someones ability regardless of the tenurity is his key to win the title.


Now that UAAP Season 78 Mens Basketball has ended and I'm looking forward that Season 79 will be more exciting and who will be the next big thing, well let's see then. This is my last blog for Season 78, this is Kibby now signing off. See you on Season 79.

Tigers Forces Tamaraws for a Winner Take All Battle









   

 


photo by: Rappler

     November 28, 2015-   Cubao Quezon City, UST Growling tiger took the victory over FEU Tamaraws with 1-1 record. Tamaraws have a good game during the first half and give the tigers a 7 point lead, they lead the Tigers with their offensive rebound, field goals, and tight defense with the help of Mac Belo, Russel Escoto, and Prince Orizu. UST went on danger when Kharim Abdul was on a foul trouble, it's been a struggle for them because he is a big help for the teams defense and as well as rebound. UST went slow in the first three quarters, because of the poor shooting that the tigers were giving. But this suddenly change when Kevin Ferrer sizzles in the 4th quarter with 29 points. Ferrer made 6 out of 8 from the long distance and scored almost 17 points that help the tigers survived game 2. Before he outburst his shooting was off. It was his play why they force a winner take all game on Wednesday. FEU regained the lead with 4:45 left with six straight points from Raymar Jose, but Louie Vigil made a jumper that give them the lead of 55-54 with 2:41 left.

  Now if I were to analyze the game, Tamaraws had explosive turnovers now that the Tigers went on a tight defense and the game was without Kharim Abdul. They were very confident that they will win the game without even acknowledging that Kevin Ferrer can be a big surprise. Mike Tolomia has a record of 0/14 Fg shooting, he struggled from his outside shots and he must work on it, knowing that he is a clutch shooter. Prince Orizu was fouled out in the fourth quarter that gave UST the edge to win, as we all know he is a tough contender in the paint. Now Coach Nash Racela must be very careful this coming Wednesday, we may never know what will happen. Belo, Escoto, Jose and Pogoy are doing good, but Tolomia struggled. Instead of utilizing Mike Tolomia for his clutch shots why not using Achi Iñigo to make the shots, he is a sure shooter anyway. 


  As I can recall UST's last title was last 2006 versus The Ateneo, and they've been runners up for Season 75 versus Ateneo and Season 76 versus De La Salle and FEU won their last title in 2005. It will back to square one on Wednesday, the team that can handle pressure will have the opportunity to win the Championship, but it will be a different ball game either, I am expecting both teams can be more focus and more hungry to win the title.

Fearless Forecast: Morayta for sweep or España for game 3?







     



 November 28, 2015 will be the most exciting day yet we didn't know who will bring home the crown. It might be clear to some sports analyst but for those who are still waiting for the match it's unpredictable. But let me give you my fearless forecast for game 2 tomorrow, this was based on FEU vs UST finals game 1:

       
UST must control the paint, they have to control FEU when it comes to offensive rebound.   This is the key why FEU was given 17 chance points, with the combined 29 rebound from Escoto, Belo, and Orizu, and Kharim Abdul must work on his rebound, he is the big man for UST after all.  Players like Vigil, Bonleon, Sheriff and Lee must be productive in terms of shooting for Ferrer and Daquioag shooting was on and off, as I can remember Ferrer has 15 points and Daquioag has 4 pts in game 1. Limited playing minutes for Ferrer and Abdul, they have played too much in game 1 without even taking a rest, Coach Bong dela Cruz must learn how to play the game without Ferrer and Abdul, as what Coach Nash Racela is doing, he is not dependent with Tolomia and Belo, he always utilize his bench players as a substitute for his star players. He is confident with his players regardless of their tenurity.

    Therefore, if UST will still use the same strategy as what they have shown in game 1, they will give FEU a 2-0 run. But if they will learn from their mistakes during their last game there will be a game 3. Well no matter what happens with their games, they all deserve for the title, they have worked hard for it. Congratulations to the Champions.

La Salle bids farewell to Juno Sauler: A solution for a Championship?






   






photo by: Inquirer






  In this blog, I will give my very honest opinion, with all due respect to the La Sallians who will be reading this, because I think this is the best solution to get a championship.

      After a heart breaking loss against FEU for the final four, De La Salle Green Archers head coach Juno Sauler tendered his resignation as a coach of the said team. We might don't know the reason why he resigned but for me it's clear, because of  DLSU fall short in the next two years first in the finals (Season 77) and a final four spot (Season 78) and La Salle has been in the final four for 24 years. As we recall DLSU won a Championship for Season 76 under Sauler. And now DLSU is seeking for a new head coach, there were candidates already to fill the spot, first is Coach Aldin Ayo of the Letran Knights, Franz Pumaren former DLSU head coach that also brought the Green Archers to the finals, and Coach Louie Alas former Letran Knights Coach and Assistant Coach of Alaska Aces. But whoever might that be that is not the problem of DLSU to get a championship title, for me it's not with the coaching staff, but it's with the team itself, now I will be giving my opinion with this.

   Ever since DLSU have an unorganized team especially with the line up, there were a lot of worthy players that was move to Team B, whom I can say can give a big contribution for the team. They were scouting players every year, but it's not still effective. They don't have strong guards after LA Revilla, and most of their players were 4 and 5, this season they don't have a solid center because Arnold Van Opstal is under rehabilitation for his Achilles injury, and no one is posting on the paint for the offense. And the reason why Benjie Paras don't want his son Kobe to play for La Salle? it's because of the line up, instead he grab the opportunity to let Kobe study and play in the US, and Kobe decided to study in UCLA for College. Did you know that Kib Montalbo was supposed to be move to Team B, and Thomas Torres will be the sole point guard of the team? as we all know Montalbo has better skills than Torres. See the problem? Changing head coach is not the reason why they can't get a championship, it's with the team.

   I received a news earlier that the new head coach of the Green Archers is Coach Aldin Ayo, well I hope he will meet the standard of the team and I hope he will be the one who can organize the teams discrepancy. For Coach Juno Sauler, I admire his humility during their games, I haven't seen him so hysterical when they committed error, he is a fair coach, he sacrificed the offer of being a Ginebra Coach just to be with DLSU, but then again I salute him for that. You had shown the DLSU community enough and nothing to be ashamed of. You've been a very good coach and I have seen the improvements on the team especially with Jeron Teng's shooting skills. DLSU might turn you down but not your credibility as a coach.


Tamaraws tame Tigers in Game 1: UAAP Season 78 Finals





     









photo by : Inquirer



    November 25, 2015 - Pasay City, The most awaited battle was about to start, FEU Tamaraws is ready to face the UST Growling tigers for finals game 1. A very thrilling game was shown in the first half as the Tamaraws closed the half with a two digit deficit against the Tigers.

        The Tamaraws dominated the game until the third quarter and the Tigers bounce back until they took the lead shot after shot was made by Louie Vigil, Mac Bonleon, Ed Daquioag and Kharim Abdul, with 19 points during the game. Kevin Ferrer went short for he made unsuccessful shots, but he contributed 15 points in the game. While the Tamaraws rely on the hands of RR Pogoy with 15 points. The game went on fire when Mac Belo posted a double - double with 13 points on the game.

        Tamaraws proves that they are the best rebounding team this season, with combined 29 rebounds from Prince Orizu, Russel Escoto  and Mac Belo. which came out from the offensive glass that resulted to 17 point second chance points.

       There maybe failures on the UST side but they still manage to give a good game. There were some chances given to them for FEU committed errors during the game. They must work on their offensive rebound for they don't focus on that. Coach Bong dela Cruz must utilize some of his bench players, and the presence of Marvin Lee in the game is really important. Lee made a good performance during the game but it didn't work out.

       Well this is just Game 1 there are still a lot of possibilities that will happen on game 2, but knowing both teams they are competitive and both of them had an experience in the finals. Knowing both teams with hardworking and dedicated players no doubt they will give the audience a very crucial and difficult game.

Who has the tough players? UAAP or NCAA?





 







       Some of us are watching Collegiate leagues and we were rooting for players who will make a big name in the Professional Court. But which Collegiate league has the toughest players? I will post my fearless opinion about this based on my own observation on the players that happened to be drafted in the Professional League. This may sound bias but this is the truth after this blog try to watch PBA and tell me if I have a wrong observation. Let's try to see who's the toughest.


       UAAP is a glamour league, and most of the players playing in this popular league are famous, but if we are to look in the other side of the coin, only a few players can play hard. Based on my observation, players from this league has poor defensive stints, except players from FEU, NU, and UE who is known as the most defensive team. When it comes to guards, UAAP can produce Good shooting guards, but not point guards, forwards and center. They must learn how to be tough in the game to make themselves ready in other leagues. Only a few UAAP Players shines in the Professional League.


       NCAA is a tougher league, eventhough they don't have too much fame, but they have the ability to change the coaches minds. Most of the players here played a tough game with good defensive and offensive stints, they have a braveheart in playing the game, this league had proven so much that even if they are not so popular as UAAP they can still produce competitive players. They may not be known in the media but when they stepped into the Professional League they can make a big name. Players from this league has the potential to step up in the league.


     To sum up, most of the players who played well in the PBA were all from NCAA, even in the Jaworski era, Jayson Castro who is known as the fastest guard in asia, Alvin Patrimonio who have various MVP award, Ramon Fernandez, Beau Belga, Ian Sanggalang and Calvin Abueva, are only a few who made a name in the Professional League, while there are some UAAP players shines in the league like James Yap, Arwind Santos, Greg Slaughter, and Terrence Romeo. Philippine sports should take a look at those players in the NCAA, because they are the most talented one.

Thank you King Eagle: Respect The Phenom






    















                   "A true champion knows how to bounce back despite from his adversities"

                                                                                              - Kiefer Ravena-




  I know everybody knows him very much, with his advance basketball skills, and being a good leader inside the court no doubt he is called "The Phenom" of Collegiate basketball. We have seen him made triple double shots, even if he is just 6 foot tall no one can stop him make his stuff inside.

     Kiefer Isaac Crisologo Ravena, 22 year old star guard of the Ateneo Blue Eagles made a big name before he stepped in the Collegiate league, he was a high school stand out from the Ateneo Blue Eaglet, he was recognized because of his basketball IQ, and as well as his moves during their games. His passion towards his sport made him capture the interest of not only the basketball fans but also the hearts of the coaches and the team owners in the professional league. He is an exceptional player, he can even make his team won alone, He made a career high of 38 points, and be a two time MVP. He has a wide experience in playing basketball even in the international courts, from U -13 to U-21, and he also became the team captain of the undefeated Sinag Pilipinas. He was not called "The Phenom" for nothing. His humble attitude made him shine, he always recognized rookies and motivates them to be better. His positive attitude made him strong, there are some people booing him inside the court but his focus remain intact. He didn't mind that for he has his goal. He had won a 5 peat during his rookie years, and he had done so much for his school, We have also seen him fall but he never give up, instead he stand up and made himself better. In his final year as a Blue Eagle, I salute him for his dedication and hardwork towards his sport. We know he sacrificed everything for his dreams, This is not the end of his journey as "The Phenom" it's just the beginning of an opportunity for him to play very well, his team might not be the champion but his legacy in the Collegiate league will continue.

   Kiefer "The Phenom" Ravena, 22 year old Ateneo Blue Eagle Star Guard, will still rock the Professional Court, I know they will be negative about this but I believe in this guy, who humbly played not only for his school but also for his friends in the collegiate league. There maybe guards that will play well, but no player will be play in this caliber.


  Thank you King Eagle for making the UAAP the most watch Collegiate Basketball League in the country, you had given us excellent plays and you gave pride to the Ateneo Community. We are hoping that you may have a fruitful career. From a high school stand out to a Star Guard, Two time MVP you have done so much. We appreciate the effort and the humility that you showed. See you in the Professional  League "The Phenom".



    Kiefer Ravena @kieferravena
    UAAP, its been great! Ups and downs, one hellava ride!! This is Kiefer ravena, Number 15, Ateneo De Manila University, signing off!

In the hands of the King Tamaraw : The Buzzer Beater shot















Photo By: Rappler


    I know everybody is talking about the ADMU vs FEU game, and if you are an Ateneo fan you would hate this guy named Mac Belo, 6'5" playing forward and the team captain of the FEU Tamaraws who is known as a dream crusher by his buzzer beater shots. But you don't have to hate him because he can be the most valuable player that every team could have especially in the professional league.
      
       He is the most quiet one but he will impress us with his clutch shots and his solid defense in every game, and I admire him for his determination to win. He is not as popular as Kiefer Ravena or Jeron Teng but he will surprise people with his basketball skills. This boy from Cotabato made a big name every game. he may not be known but he is the most dangerous player during critical games, that's why Coach Nash Racela always rely on him. As I continue to watch the game he made a slow start, he is not as productive as he was before. But he is still intact with his role as a captain, with his unselfish play no doubt that he is doing a great job as a player. I admire his humility inside the court, he keeps his cool during the game no matter how hard it is. 

    The game was so exciting because both teams made big shots, until the game tied up. I thought that the Tamaraws will lose this game or it will end up in an overtime for the time is so short and no one is making a shot. Not until Mike Tolomia made a lay up but it failed and suddenly Mac Belo is at the back and made a follow up Buzzer Beater shot. History repeats itself I can still remember when He also made a three point buzzer beater shot against DLSU for their ticket to the finals and he made it.

    In his final year in the league, I am hoping that he will win a championship and will end up as the finals MVP, if it is not well it's not the end of his career for there is a big opportunity that will open for him. Hats off to this brave Tamaraw who played and give honor to his Alma Mater, for me he is a big revelation in the collegiate basketball. This man deserves respect for he lifted up his school in two straight finals appearance, all I can say is : Hands down Mac Belo, You're the man!!!

Flashback








I've been riding a merry go round all my life
And I didn't regret what experiences I have been
But if I were to have a flashback,
Do I still have the power to change my life?


Will I be what I want to be?
If I only have the people who will lend their hands on me
But will my life be different in the past?
Or it will still be the same?

If I were to live my life again
Maybe people will amazed with who I am
Thinking that I am exceptional 
And they will hail me with that.


Will I live a normal life If  I had reach the top?
Or will I be restless because of that
Will they invade my silence
And respect the life that I have.


With what I have inside of me
I think I can put the whole world in my hands
But sad to say no one sees it
Only a few can recognize it.


They said "Better Late than Never"
But I think I have to give way
Maybe it's not for me
I'll just continue it in a simple way.


If I were to look at the past? No, I won't
I'll continue my future and be ready
Failures my come your way 
It will teach you the lessons of life.

Green Archers Fall short on their Final Four Battle against The Tamaraws













Photo by : Rappler



 November 18 , 2015 - Cubao Quezon City - The Battle for the final four is about to start, Player and coaching staff were all busy conditioning themselves for this battle. For the Far Eastern University Tamaraws they have nothing to lose on this game because they have secured the second spot on the final four, unlike the De La Salle Green Archers that they need to win the game to have a knockout match versus the National University Bulldogs. 

   As the refs whistle for the game to start the battle begins, during the first minutes of the game the Tamaraws dominated the game, with 65 - 66, but after the remaining minutes Green Archers took the lead. The Green Archers did well on the game with the help of Prince Rivero, Josh Torralba, and Jeron Teng who had made big shots during the game. The Tamaraws did a slow start, but despite from their struggle, Richard Escoto and  Achii Iñigo made a big contribution during the game. During the half Green Archers had a 16 point lead against the Tamaraws. During the 3rd quarter, Tamaraws still had the difficulty to beat the Archers. Mike Tolomia and Mac Belo didn't do well during the game but instead Coach Nash Racela utilize the ability of Russel Escoto and RR Pogoy during the game, The Tams was still short on the 3rd quarter but they bounce back during the 4th quarter.

  During the first 8 minutes of the game on the 4th quarter the Archer still dominate the game, not until the last two minutes of the game when RR Pogoy made a 3 straight three points that made FEU took the lead, with the help of the rookies like Orizu and Arong, the Tamaraws took the victory over the Green Archers 71 - 68 as the final Score.

My analization during the game are:

  1. Consistency. On the First until the last two minutes of the Fourth quarter, DLSU dominated the           game with their big shots, but as the game goes they always fall short, that was supposed to be             their strength during the game but they didn't maintain it.

 2.  Error, for both FEU and DLSU, points were wasted for a lot of violations was made.

 3.  DLSU was lacking big men to penetrate on the Paint, If we are to look at FEU, they have big              men who made offensive rebound.

 4. DLSU must learn to  play without  Rivero and Teng, if we are to look on the score board  both of       them are the top scorer, they must distribute the points and Coach Juno Sauler don't have  focus           on his star players,  And that's what I saw with FEU, Tolomia and Belo didn't really play well but       Coach Nash Racela utilized his bench players and most of them were rookies until the last minute       of the game.

5. Elite line up vs Bench players, Coach Juno Sauler is dependent on Teng, Rivero, Torres, Torralba,     Perkins, and Caracut, but Coach Nash Racela didn't depend on Tolomia, Belo,Pogoy and  Russel         Escoto, but instead he depend on Richard Escoto, Iñigo, Trinidad, Tamsi, Arong, and Orizo.



But then again it's a game, there is always a loser, Game isn't always about winning we maybe fall short but we must learn from it, always remember that " A true champion knows how to bounce back despite from his adversities".




Scores:
FEU (71): Arong 13, Pogoy 11, Belo 10, Inigo 9, Escoto 8, Orizu 5, Escoto 4, Trinidad 3, Tamsi 2, Holmqvist 2, Tolomia 2, Holmqvist 2, Comboy 0, Ebona 0
DLSU (68): Teng 20, Rivero 16, Torralba 8, Torres 7, Perkins 6, Muyang 5, Caracut 3, Langston 3, Gob 0
Quarter scores: 22-19, 29-38, 45-54, 71-68

The Letter







Dear Mr. Yabang,

 

    I wrote this blog simply just for you, I know you but we are not friends. But I hope this can loosen up the pain that I hide inside. Every time I saw your face, there is a question that bothers on my mind and I hope one of this days it can clear things out. I am just a simple person that you always annoy when you want to seek a simple attention. I know you are attractive but I am not impressed with you. I admit that I admire your looks but I don't admire your attitude. As a man you should know how to value and appreciate women, but I haven't seen that in you, and that disappoints me most, and that's the reason why I don't give you much attention, but I don't judge you with that. Even though I am disappointed with your attitude but I still want to know you more because I know there is still a positive side behind those negative traits that I saw.

    I still want to be a part of your life, because I want you to know me also, I know you also have a bad impression towards me, but you didn't know me yet. I want to show you the real me who is happy beyond simple things. I know you were intimidated by the way I look but to tell you I am a kind person.

In my Solitude






   In my solitude...         

            I always think about the things that it's impossible to reach, I have a very wild imagination       and there's nothing wrong with that, sounds so ambitious but everybody has the right to dream even  if it's just an imagination, who knows? one day you will be able to reach that. We can never tell what  will happen to us, so just continue day dreaming.



In my solitude...

          I express my feeling through Photography, I have a very deep appreciation when it comes to       Arts. Every time I stroll around and saw something that can catch my attention even if I only have  my phone camera, I always make sure that I can capture that moment. Simple things can make me  smile it can ease the pain in my heart.



 In my solitude...

         I always put my earphones on, I can create my own world when I turn on my playlist. I have my   personal choice of music, I love listening to Alternative music when I feel like I am a rock star,  Country music if I am on a sentimental mode, and Ballad if I'm in love. I feel like I'm in peace when I  have my earphones on.



In my solitude...

        I write poems, I am very secretive even if I am a straight forward person. Because it's easy for me to outburst what's inside of  me if I write it in a piece of paper, and through this they will know that I am a person with a very deep emotion.



  In my solitude...

       I spend most of my time in social networking sites, but twitter is the most visited one. This is the only way that I can express my feelings and be true to other people without wearing a mask. I also find it informative because I can be updated with the people I follow.



  In my solitude...

      I always get connected with my friends, I text them just to ask if they're okay, and sometimes I    crack jokes that even if it's a corny one, they still manage to laugh. That is my way of talking to  them, I felt secured when I receive a simple message of concern from them.



 In my solitude..

     I read The Bible and meditate, through this I find the utmost peace that everybody wants. For me  no one can give me assurance and peace in this world only GOD. Even if I face the hardest trials, I  don't have to feel bad, I just have to kneel down put my hands together and look up, I always feel  if I face my problem in a positive way. Thanks to God.
