The Hope

Relationships can be severed and there are a lot of reasons why. Yet for me it is not because of a third party, but it is because there is a withholding of freedom. Love is one beautiful thing but in the hands of the obsessed or possessive it is dangerous. To the one who this love is bestowed at first offers a gleam of hope towards salvation from the things she wished to run away from, but now I have become the reason why she has to run away. I played with fire and I consumed it all the way until it was extinguished and now I suffer from the consequence.

I know she likes the butterfly and I know she is one. She wishes to fly freely of the direction of her choice, and stupid of me to snip her wings and furthermore added salt to wound, I caged her. I was just a fool who took her intent when I met her a year ago that she wishes to go outside of the tyranny of her abode, but she wished to go back there and also to reconnect with her friends to whom I have sever the bond with for my romantic tyranny.


I guess we have to part ways to heal what was so severely pressed upon, but deep inside my heart I long for her, I had made my word that she is the one. But let it be this time that she is yet to fly, to roam around the world in free spirit, to explore much to know ourselves more, to love ourselves more before coming back to love each other again. I understand. I have been much of a cage, I am sorry, and I hope I am still the one you will run into again when that time comes. I only but hope. Hope is all I have.

Fin?

  Last 2012, there were hearts on fire that both had their first shared flame in an unlikely place. I was thirsty for love coming from being dormant while she was searching for a redemption from a series of broken hearts. Both struggled to find their place. Both trying to live their lives free from the hideous chains of a dark home. I must admit that I fell for her beauty and add to that, her care. As we both clasped our hands, it was a committed long shot to have the perfect rest for our hearts. It was a bit strange to have an affair under the noses of all that is forbidden both profession and a line of faith. Nothing was wrong as long both were in the ecstasy of love – no malice, no foul play, no trespassing of wills. That moment was a perfect episode in a romantic film – one where young love sprang amidst treacherous circumstances. We lived through the happiness of newfound belongingness and the battle of keeping that alive. 4 years before the wedlock were filled with ups an...

Article Review on Elinita Garcia's "Gabriel Marcel: Primary and Secondary Reflection"

Summary:             Gabriel Marcel is a known French existentialist. His co-Frenchman, Jean-Paul Sartre, distinguished existentialism into two which were coined as  atheistic  and  theistic  (Christian) wherein Sartre did mention Marcel as part of the latter in lecture on Existentialism a Humanism . Marcel is a Christian existentialist because he included the divine even amidst the infamous perception of existentialism as godless. Moreover, he is also known for his non-systematic philosophy where he pointed out that the philosophical discipline starts from where one is (referring to the particularity of the situation); therefore, it is not from metaphysical assumptions or already laid down theories.             Marcel’s thoughts talk about the importance and the necessity of reflection wherein he divides it into two as a) primary reflectio...

SHS Batch 2022 - 2024

     Exquisite! By comparison, you are yet the students I handled as a batch for two consecutive years. Forgive me, knowing that I was going to be omnipresent in your senior high school life, I got excited to do an experiment. After a tiresome rubbish of an experience during the pandemic and your previous batch who were at most still having a hangover of simply passing by shitty compliance of modules (with few esteemed exceptional students), I pushed you into overdrive in a manner that I usually would when I taught in college before. And it worked!      I was engaged with the expected frustrations. The extreme poles were there, but those who were deserving of pity are not shameful in the sense – just minor outliers and I am leaving up to their gods for their character growth, that is all. A worthy spectacle was seeing how those who were already at some capability struggled to be better under pressure. An even better feast for the eyes were those who outshin...
