To My Brother and Sister

Here in the living room of my childhood days sprang three individuals who shared the idea of siblingship through blood and also to where we are siblings because when we were yet the younger version of ourselves our own fellow children cannot understand our rationality. We came to flock to other children with the same sheep skin which were notably rare.
This room is a meeting place of minds, whose brother to brother to sister relationship is composed of silence, each attending to our toys that helped us reached a certain kind enlightenment and once the first question is raised, then the evening becomes a discussion on politics, religion, society, philosophy, art (most of the times music), science and etc.
As we grew older we begin to manifest the beauty of the ideas that we have cherished such as perfecting intelligence, making history, freedom and a life where the self actualizes in servitude to the other. Our bond is a soulful bond. We have more eyebrow clenching moments than laughter, because we enjoyed the ecstasy of questions and finding answers.
In spare times, we are hooked up with the good source of books in the shelf and some visitors who stimulate us often with intriguing things to take as a lifetime quests. We do not bask on travels to beaches, mountain tops and other places. However, when we happened to get there, we bask with nature's blessing to clear our mind for a more intense discussion. Nothing like fresh air to charge up the brain to find answers.
Sadly, as the days go by, our physical togetherness is torn by the necessity of our freedom and with that we respect each others path. Because deep in our minds, we have understood the necessity for one to find for himself or herself an answer that will forever end one's life quest in satisfaction. But, no matter how stretched we are, when our minds begin to talk in a language comfortable to us three, we are at home, even if it were not in this living room.
2016 is about to end, but our duties to ourselves and for others are not yet over. I am proud to have you as siblings. I love you all. :')

    It's good to reminisce the good ole times when mind meets mind. Minus ME. Glad that you and your siblings has this kind of fellowship. Keep it up!

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...
