    Those are the only quotes I can provide you with tonight. I'm inspired by Disney Channel at the moment. I miss being a kid so much  :)

    I ask for everyone's time to pray for my home land, Philippines. So many Filipinos were traumatized and victimized by two typhoons simultaneously; Ondoy and Pepeng. Many people died here in our country and millions of houses, infrastructures and crops were also destroyed here.
    I'm kindly asking for you all to spare your time to pray for us here. Please do help us here.

    Good night to everyone. Have a pleasant evening! :)

  • Child Abuse

    I could not take it any longer, this "thing" or even "phenomenon" is getting too out of hand.


    Yesterday, I read a post about Baby Briana Lopez, the six-month-old child that was child abused by her own parents, including her uncle. Briana was raped by her own father and uncle as while her mother gave her bite marks throughout her body as "gifts". Reports say that the child was thrown up at the ceiling by her father and uncle and they never did catch her, making Briana fall on the cold floor violently.

    On the year 2002, Briana died.

    Her mother, father and uncle were sentenced to jail. Next were Briana's two other relatives to did know about the abusive behavior of the three, but never spoke a word about it.

    This story made my heart break into thousands of pieces. How could those people make a six-month-old child suffer so much?! She was just an innocent infant!!

    How could they kill such a wonderful gift from God?! How could they end a beautiful angel's life?!

    Briana is not alone; there are still thousands of children throughout the world that has been killed and is still being killed because of child abuse.

    Child abuse is carried out mostly by the child's own parents, maybe even other relatives. They beat the child recklessly, and no matter how "good" the reason is for their actions, abusing a child is clearly unforgivable since the child is also a human being and deserves to be treated like one!

    From my own ideas, I think that there ARE reasons behind the assault to a child:

    1. The parents are alcoholics/drug users

        -- The alcoholic/drug user parents are usually the one who love torturing their own children because of the harmful chemicals or substances that they consume. Alcoholic beverages make a person do things without even thinking things out and drug users just...huh, do whatever they like and even damage their own mental capabilities!
            The dad is the main culprit for this one since father's tend to drink more beer and use drugs.

    2. Short tempered/Perfectionist
     
        -- Everything has to be perfect for the parents and since children are tend to make mistakes since they are still learning, parents do get angry at their children and because of their short temper, they abuse the child. This is a very bad combination and very dangerous.

    3. Just plain stupid.


    I don't want to write anymore, it makes my heart beat too fast and the hair on my back rise.

    Everyone, please do not forget to pray for the children who are being abused around the world. May they find happiness and bliss.

  • A Letter

    Dear Whoever is reading,

             I have recently noticed that everything in my life is entirely falling apart. My best friends are practically killing themselves in an invisible battle field; they back stab, curse, and spread rumors about each other. Worse is that they pretend that they're all innocent. Next up is my own family problems. I am positive that they don't want me; specially my father. Even if I make simple/minor mistakes, he gets choked up and screams at me. Almost every night I would cry myself to sleep, my pillow getting extremely wet because of my warm tears. Now comes my long-but-not-too-long crush. He told me that he likes my best friend face to face. But I do not blame him, it was not my fault for acting so cowardly to not even tell him that I have a crush on him.
            
            Why is everything falling apart? Why did every wonderful thing came to a halt? Why did every single thing shatter? I clearly do not understand. I do not want to cry anymore. I do not want to feel too miserable anymore. Sure, everyone says that "we're here for you" but they just don't mean it anymore. They always come and go. They always walk away. They always leave.

            As for my friends, sure, they all still act that they love each other but I can see beyond their lies: they loathe each other. They do everything just to bring down the other. They're all like curve swords. Honestly, yes, I do dislike some of my friends but just because I dislike them means that I hate them already. No, I'm not like that. Besides, I tell them face to face what I do not like about them because I know that it will truly help them become a better person.
     
            I don't want to lose them, though. I've grown too attached to them to even watch them walk away from our friendship. They're precious to me and I don't want to throw away our "crystal ball of friendship" (I know, it's cheesy). But I don't want to watch ourselves torture each other. I do not want us to betray each other. Of course, who would want that, right? I want to stay strong for us all but I just can't seem to find the strength. I know that I'm not their mother and I have no right to tell them how to act but I am desperate to change them.

          But then again, as the saying goes; "If one does not want to change, why bother changing them?"
          (You got me. I just made that one up.)

         So everything is falling apart with our friendship. I didn't expect for everything to fall apart in the household but viola! It did. Everyone started to act angry at me. Every time I would say something, nobody would listen. I clearly did not know what I did do wrong. Sure, I lost my phone but why did they not get angry at my sister when she lost her own phone? I can accept the fact that their her favorite but come on, they should at least stop giving me the silent treatment. I'm sick of being ignored. I'm sick of the fact that my voice is never heard.

         Favoritism. It's something that I really loathe. As the last girl in our family, I'm always the one being hated. Here are three reasons why:

          a.) First, I am far most the ugliest daughter my parents have. Hell, if my younger brother was a girl, he'd be hella prettier than me!
         I know that looks does not count but they always ignore me during photo sessions with our relatives because of my hideous face, curly hair and too skinny body. I'm not, I repeat, I'm not complaining. I'm just informing you.

          b.) I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer/cabinet...whatever. Yes, I have typed that phrase in Xanga for many times now. Yes, I'm not smart but NO, I'm not dumb either. Let's just say I'm a smart idiot. But being a smart idiot is not enough. But what I do not get is the fact that my other sister is the same as me! Okay, I'm not saying that we're both dumb but you get my point. She only knows how to shake her booty and partaaaay but she still gets most of the attention! Oh, it just hit me:

    She's beautiful.

          c.) I have a loud mouth. Yes, I do admit, I am the one who talks constantly. I talk about every single thing; from cells to glass and so forth. Maybe that's the reason that they stopped talking to me? Maybe it's because I won't stop talking? Hm. It makes so much sense.

          But it's fine with me if they all do not want to talk to me. I will give them the time they need to forgive me for whatever I have done. I will give them time because I love them.

          Ah love. I love someone. Though I'm not sure but I do think that I love him. He's a nice guy who's always there for me. Oh, but he likes my best friend. This was our heat-breaking conversation last Friday. I will translate it to you guys:

         Me: ....So...
    Him: Why're you alone?
    Me: Meh. They left me again. But it's alright. I'm used to being alone *chuckles*
    Him: Want me join you?
    Me: *smiles* Sure.
    Him: *smiles back*
    Me: So...tell me...are you and Jemmy dating?
    [As I was asking this my palms were sweating]
    Him: Nah. She's just a friend.
    Me: Oh. *grins*
    Him: ....
    Me: So why are you both always together?
    Him: Ah? Oh, she's helping me with my crush...
    Me: ......
    Him: See, I like Lana*. Your friend.
    Me: .....
    Him: You're sad. Why?
    Me: No, no. I don't want to speak since my voice is hoarse 'cause of the role-play.
    Him: Oh.
    Me: Gotta go.


        When I walked away, I was already crying. I can't believe I cried in front of him. I feel like a total loser. I don't know how I will find the courage to talk to him again. I feel so...vulnerable. Sure, crying over a guy is pretty silly but I just can't help it. He's one of a kind! A new species from the male gender. He's very nice, charming, captivating, sweet... He's the "too good to be true" sort of guy.

         And he likes my best friend. You can tell me that I'm too dramatic or too sensitive. But hunny, what would you feel if you were in my shoes? You'd feel pretty much broken.

         How about you? How is your life going?
