Children on the Street

"Our children on the street, I have seen tears that fallen down from their face, it's hard to see." This is the portion of the song that I have composed during my first year in college in the Humanities subject with Mr. Tado as our teacher. We were required to create an original lyrics of a song using any existing songs. I have chosen the song "Aubrey" by the America because of its solemn tune.

I love the song that I was inspired to change its original lyrics into lyrics that focused on the lives of street children. Sometimes, we are irritated to see these children because of their physical appearance, stinky, and dirty. They will asking for money or food while we are eating in a carenderia or having our snacks in a refreshment. When we hand something to them, other street children will be in parade to ask for more. (Louy man unta pero lagot lang pud kung ingon ana na ang sitwasyon.)

Unfortunately, there are children also who are used by syndicates to earn money. It's pity to think that these young ones are trying very hard to earn money for that day because if not, they will be punished by their handlers, (Kawawang mga linalang.) We can do nothing but to help these individuals instead, and put them into the right institutions which will take care of them and provide the biggest opportunities they are supposed to enjoy.

At Last . . . Yeheeh!

At last, naka-adto na gyod mi sa gingharian ni inahan, Mother Lily, today. It was after the 2nd General Assembly of Aces Colleges System held at APC, Panabo City. I enjoyed being there together with Maam Maybelle, Maam Alona, and Maam Leni. Perte namong busoga kay nag-sugba mi ug karneng baboy with all the ingredients, hangak ayo pag-uli kay busog kaayo mi, congrats sa among upat, hehehe!

Luoy na lang ta ani . . .

I guess, this is the most pressured day of my life. Simply because I am doing things which are not supposed to be done by me but since there is no one to complete these things, I have to do these on my own.
Much of my desire to be able to publish at least one school paper every semester, but circumstances which are beyond my control hindered us to have even one publication. I heard different annoying statements of many students about our publication but I cannot react because they are entitled to complain because they paid it.
The greatest challenge for handling a school organ is motivating our correspondents or writers to write articles for the publication. Even if I tried to reach for them, but they lack passion in writing. I know that it's not easy to write news articles, editorial opinions, feature stories, and much more in writing sports news because this is the hardest part of a newspaper due to its special lingo. But the challenge of trying to do your best is the most important thing. At least you have proven and you have tried. It is more lonesome if you have not tried doing those things when you have the ability to perform it. You can never turn back time if you will not do the necessary things for the benefit of all.
If nobody would try to cooperate even if they have put their names as members, what can I do, write items for THEM. There are also members who are conceited who feels that they are more capable of writing things when in fact, they don't know anything based on their writings. It really annoys me to think that there are a lot of members but no one would like to perform. Pushing others to write what is assigned to him is extremely a disgusting thing. In addition to claiming what you do not own is like slapping your own face. In fairness, there are also correspondents who trying their best to fulfill their tasks although big changes should be done but at least, they have passed their assigned articles. Campus journalists should have an internal drive to write as a means of expressing their outbursts as long as it is reasonable, opinions based on facts, and featurizing their own stories or of others. You must have the will to offer yourself to do something for the good of the publication, anyway, you will be appreciated and your name will be forever be written on the paper. In the future, that remembrance will always be a part of your life.
On the other hand, maybe, they would be very happy to see their names printed in the school paper, but I also hope that they will do their duties in the next issue of our school paper if there will be another. Congratulations to them!

Tan-aw lang . . . . Palag!

If only . . .

The time has passed swiftly that we haven't noticed that it's already September and it's getting near to the end of this year, 2008. As I try to look back tao what I have done in my life this year, I am satisfied and a little bit lonely. I am satisfied because I have finally found someone who understands the nature of my job in the person of my Honey Marecel. I can't think of my life today and in the future without her in my senses. She made me complete . . . kahilak man pud ta ani . . . kidding aside, she's my life yesterday, today, and in the future. I am not a perfect partner but I will do my best to be right person for her, ahem.

On the other hand, maybe in some instances of my day to day struggles, emptiness bothers me specially if I have no money that I can't even move myself to do my chores and to fulfill my plans because I have nothing to spend. Whether we like it or not, that's part of being alive. I need to muster up the willpower to win this battle of life because if not, mag-unsa na lang ang akong honey, hehehe. Maybe, if I can finish my obligations to everyone, I can go on with my life with her. I am always conditioning my mind that if there is a problem, there is a solution, tagam!

I am still bothered with my masteral because there are projects that I have not yet complied, another INC na man pud seguro ko ani, huhuhuh. I have tried to complete everything but due to many constraints, I cannot do it yet. I need to put preferential attention to our school publication because if not, again there will be no publication for this semester, na pud! It's not easy to write news stories and maybe that's the reason why the correspondents of our group cannot pass their assigned tasks on time. Pagkalisod ra ba gyod tawon ani. I don't want to blame anyone as much as I don't like to be blamed for not being able to release even one issue of our school pub this semester. But I hope that we can make it this time, if all the members of this organization of campus journalism would participate and cooperate. Always overtime gyod ko ani para mabuhatan lang ang mga kulang nga news. In this field of journalism, you have to cultivate art of writing and love what you are writing. Appreciate first what you have written before demanding others to applause your work. But of course, we have to listen to some comments and suggestions to improve this forte. Therefore I conclude, let us see if we can make it this time. I hope, hope and hope again . . .
