Happy Ending

Parte na marahil ng buhay ang makasakit' masaktan. Sabi nga nila mas matindi ang tama kapag malapit sa puso mo ang syang naging dahilan; Mas mahirap tanggapin at malimutan.
Minsan nang nasubok ang puso sa ganitong kawalan sa kauna- unahang pagkakaton, wari'y isang baguhan at hindi maintindihan ang mga nangyayari. Ang tanging alam ay kailangan kong ilabas ang unang luha sa pag-ibig na di ko inaasahang katumbas ng luha noong ako'y sanggol pa. Akala ko noon, arte lamang at di naman talaga kailangan lumuha sa mga panahong tulad nito, naghahanap lamang ng karamay at pansin ang taong lumuluha. Kaya naman ako'y tila tinamaan ng bato at nasigawang, "Ngayon alam mo na?!" noong ako na mismo ang nakaranas nito.
Maraming beses pang naulit ang ganitong pagsubok. Tila pagsusulit sa eskwelahan na kailangan saguta't ipasa kung indi bagsak ka... ikaw ang kawawa. Kung nagkakaroon nga ng kalyo ang puso, marahil puno na ito't makapal na dahil sa walang ulit na pagsalang nito sa iba't ibang pagsubok.
Ngunit sa dami-dami mang ulit na makasakit' masaktan, iisa lamang ang dapat kahantungan: ang matuto at magpatawad. Sabi nila kapag ikaw ay natutong magpatawad at huminge nito, tinapos mo na rin at panagaan ang kalooban mong bigat na sa dinadala. Gaano man kahirap, yun ang nararapat.

One Way: Walang Katapusan

Kung ang buhay ay isang libro, marahil nabasa ko na't natapos ang ilang yugto. Yugtong nagiwan ng bakas at kalinawan sa mundo. May mga pahinang kay labo't hindi maintindihan; mayroon din naman napakalalim at hindi maunawaan. Kailangan bukas ang isip at kaluluwa sa bawat salitang madadaanan ng mga mata. Dahil hindi na maaring ulitin pa ang mga natapos na pahina ng buhay na puno ng supresa.
At tulad nga ng libro, sa loob ay puno ng kwento. Mga dugtong dugtong na pangyayari na bawat isa'y may kakambal na bahaghari sa dulo. Walang katapusan tulay ng kalinawan na palaging may kasunod na katanungan. Dahil ito ang tunay na kwento, bagama't may kamatayan... ito ay walang katapusa't hantungan.

Pait ng Nakaraan (haha hindi hango sa totoong karanasan)

Hindi magawang limutin
ang minsang ika'y makilala.
Sa tuwing naaalala
anong sakit' hapdi ang nadarama.
O bakit ba kailangan ito'y maranasan pa,
Ngayon ika'y parte na't nag iwan pa ng
marka.
Nahihiyang humarap sa iba
Baka ako ay pandirian pa nila,
dahil sa ginawa mong hindi tanggap ng iba.
Pilit kong tinatago, nang hindi nila makita
ang lihim na pilit sinesikreto natin dalawa.
Hindi ko maatim makita pa,
ang lalim ng sugat na naging resulta ng maling pagsasama.
Hwag mo nang subukan sa aki'y bumalik pa.
Lintik na pigsa ka! isa kang matinding sumpa!

ECED 11 "Caught in the Act''

1.TITLE
"Caught in the Act''


2.STORY
     One day, when Johny just got home from school, he caught his parents in the act of arguing and yelling to each other.  As a 5-year-old child, he cannot do anything else but just to watch his parents fighting.  Johny's parents fights almost everyday. It looks like that it is a routine already to their house.  There was a time when Johny witnessed how his father hurt his mother one morning.  He got very afraid that time, afraid which leads him to be angry to his father.
     When Johny's parents notice some changes on his behavior they start to think about their parenting.  With the help of some friends and their physicians' advice, Johny's parents decided to change for their son.  Johny's good relationship with his parents and especially with his father outgrows again.


3.WEAK POINTS
     The weak point in the story is when Johny is able to witness how his parents argue and fight to each other and also when he saw his father in the act of hurting his mother. In everything that the child experiences, whether negative or positive, there is an automatic effect to them.  Negative things will of course cause no good to them and so it is very risky to let them witness or being part on web of a fight.  The effect will be applied and shown to his later life.

4.POSITIVE POINTS
     This story happens in real life setting.  The positive point is when Johny's parent realized that because of what Johny was able witnessed from them his behavior is being affected.  It is important to let parents, which are really the people concern, must be aware of the fact that we are not fostering and helping children to grow progressively if we are to practice negatives most especially in front of them.

5.HOW THIS STORY RELATES TO ME?


     Well, this story is really related and very much connected to my present family setting.  My parents are separated and I think the root is that they are already tired of fighting and fighting to each other. Just like with Johny, almost every morning,when they were still together, they fight.  At first, they have a discussion and then later on it will be an argument.  They seemingly serves as our alarm clock every morning.  And now at the present, the web of their fight is already wiped out from our house and as they say... it will never come back.

6.MESSAGE


     As you enter a married life, you are to accept the fact that you are now living not only with yourself but with a partner.  A partner which sooner or later will have children of your own.  Every single thing that you will both do has also something to do with the whole family.  Fighting, in particular, is a norm, but then we must have to do it in a right place and with a reason.
