Nights with You

The stars gazed upon the clouds above
The horizon fills with glistening blue
Our hearts were pounding with love
But why you left and there you flew?

Our infinities were meant to be
It should mend our hearts as it should be
But it fell and broke to two
Gone was the nights with you

Cut The Strings

                     First things first, I introduce you to my squad (11/15). Five of my friends showed their presentation with the other people about new hope for the next generation. Oh, the other four including myself weren't there because of family issues and were tired from the field demonstration. Still, I presented myself as the audience for every presentation they gave. It is still considered as an attendance, isn't?
                     Each of us needs to understand the problems we've been through. As of right now, the world has already change its course.
                     Like I said, their presentation is about the new hope for the next generation. You've probably seen the recent bomb threats from the parts of Europe and the racial discrimination in America for the past couple of months. Even murders, thievery, and corruption have spread to each and every person. Some of them are scared to face the risk; Some can't strive for the ones they love; and some are now corrupted by avarice. It is too chaotic for the youth to see. No matter how many times the violent acts have been removed, it'll kept growing.
                      We have to accept ourselves first. I know that some have been discriminated by other people who are illiterate to know about acceptance. I know you were turned into Pinocchio, a Disney character, and being framed by others. Look at Pinocchio, no matter how many mistakes/lies he made, his father still loves him. He accept Pinocchio because he understands the situations Pinocchio have experienced. Acceptance isn't about having friends who enough power to command and conquer. NO, it's not. Acceptance is about each and every individual have equality and respect for each other. No matter how smart/tough you are, you still need to accept. For the people who don't accept others, well, good luck. 

The Preparations

           It's been a stressful yet fun week. Sometimes we can make fun out of ourselves and sometimes we need to be serious so there is always the balance of seriousness and humor. But some people don't get it. Here's what happened:

          For the last two weeks, we made preparations for the Foundation Day and we were asked to choose whether a dancer or a props-men. For my part, well, I chose to be one of the props-men. Not because I don't like dancing, it's just for some reasons. Every one has their own reasons and limitations so we can't force ourselves. 

What I have here is a photo of a banana leaf cut-out that we created for the presentation. 

              Yes, it's a cutout of the banana leaf. We can't find a banana leaf in a hurry so we made it with the materials we only brought. Anyway, there are a lot of props-men so we were formed in a groups of three. Then here comes the problem: some of them have no respect. Why? It's because some of the groups took few of our materials without our permission as we work on the props. Yet my group and I were relieved because we were able to bring the remaining materials that can substitute to our props and finished the final product. 

           Let me get back to the problem. To the people who too illiterate and stubborn, what is respect to you? Don't say that you're the only one who have the rights. No, each of us has their own rights to be fair and square. Respect is where all of us are equal. It's where each of us understand each other. Don't ever try to pull that stunt again or I'll ask karma for assistance.

Beneath the Darkest Hour

All the dancing roses

In the shivering plain.

All the agony had conceded

As you call out my name.

Calm the startled river

In the quivering storm.

Of all places to remember

Where else could you have gone?

You kept a promise
That we will strike
Upon the hordes of the unknown.
But now you have left
For me to distort
Beneath the darkest hour.
