I am just so overwhelmed with gratitude I don’t know where to start.
First, I would like to thank God for everything He has given me, for everything He has done to me. I thank You for all the blessings. Thank You for the protection against harm. Thank You for your undying love. If only [...]

Serene is her face that could pacify a raging sea
Heavenly she is, an exquisite view to see
Art has created a masterpiece to last forever
Magnificent she is, and fade she will never
A sunrise brings a new morning every time she smiles
Needless to say, I will travel a thousand miles
Enough distance I will take for our roads [...]

Here I start a new poem
Without any rhyme, without any form
And my pen starts to unwind
The words that I’m about to inscribe

All the things I need to pen down
As the wind tries to whisper something
It urges me to write in an early morning
As nature continue to sing its solemn hymn

The rain don’t stop falling
As [...]

Many people believe that whatever happens to them, good or bad, has been decided by a force greater than them. For example, the 16th-century reformer John Calvin wrote: “We define predestination as the eternal design of God, whereby He determined what He wanted to do with each man.”

I would like to thank the man who’s behind the reason why we don’t have classes today. But I would like to say a deeper meaning I want to pay tribute to the one who brought liberty back to our people. He is the one responsible for the free flight of the high-soaring eagle, [...]

Ryan Reyes

Ang isang salita’y lubhang makapangyarihan
Dahil sa pamamagitan ng mga salita
Maaari kang tingalain ng karamihan
O kaawaang masahol pa sa maralita

Kaya nitong maghandog sa iyo ng papuri
At maaari ring yurakan ang iyong [...]

My pen is nearing its last drop.
I have written poems and they call me a modern-day poet. I have written essays and they call me a reformist. I have written editorials and they call me radical. I have written nonsense and they call me a fool.
I have written articles about the real world. My [...]

Man can make beauty out of a dull thing. It is how Rodin brought the Thinker into life out of a rock. It is how Leonardo Da Vinci portrayed Mona Lisa on a blank sheet of canvas. It is how Ludwig van Beethoven created the Symphony no. 9. When you see only seven wonders, [...]

Love. Time. Priorities. The story continues on where we last left the two bugs talking about love in a Paradise at the city’s heart. We now know the tale of the ant who loved a butterfly. We know that some questions do not need some answers. The ant continues to muse at the vast [...]

Love. Time. Patience. There’s a park named Paradise set in the heart of the city. The sun is up after minutes of light rain. The flowers boast their colorful petals while the butterflies keep on circling around them. Yes, there are still butterflies that roam the busy streets and in the almost polluted air. [...]
