ANGER

How could thee

Scribble thy wit with profound fury?

Did thee answered the sweet call of madness

In the wilderness of the night

When the haughty moon

Shy in the clouds -----

The heart waltz in vain

And sing with the lullabies

Of the sobered raven

And thee’s crimson blood

Boiling---

Pops in thy pen.
********************

.....anger is like a rushing water with a strong current. It looks for outlets---for holes to pass through, but if it finds none, it fills up and floods --- drowning you.

Will It Happen Soon??

I haven’t seen the movie 2012, but the thought about the end of the world has been lingering at the back of my mind for some time now. Many people said that the world would be standing still two years from now, but a small voice within me is screaming—taunting my fragile heart---that the end of everything might happen as soon as 2012.


I’m scared. I can’t deny that. I couldn’t entertain the thought of worldwide destruction, of every creature, plants and people dying before my very eyes. I couldn’t entertain the idea of my soul escaping this body---of me not breathing anymore. It’s a nightmare. It’s a delusion…its paranoia….is it???


In just a while, the world had witnessed

the wrath of Mother Nature (more I believe, is the wrath of God). Just a few months ago, the country has been savagely hit by a typhoon. Many people lost their lives and hopes. Grieving…Grieving, breaking so many a hearts. Then out of the blue came the pestilence. Farmers had been whining about their scanty harvest, too insufficient to feed hungry mouths and grumbling stomach. Then again, there came rare and contagious diseases, sprouting like mushrooms. What more??? War, crimes, poverty… what more proof do we need to believe that the world will soon come to an end? Do you know that we’re only waiting for the last sign of judgment day?


I don’t know why I write this. I am scared…scared people used to babble. But you see, I’m just scared that it might be too late for me to do my mission. There are times I keep on asking myself “Have I done enough to make people and God almighty say ---this child has made an exemplary behavior throughout her life.” Have I done enough???


The prospect of Judgment Day is not meant to frighten us. It is only a reminder to us—to the entire humanity to change for the better. It’s our call for the last time to choose our path---to choose the place we want to belong. Hell is earth sooner to be extinct. Earthly people prefer mundane things over divinity.

I don’t know where heaven is but I wanna go there someday. How about you…have you made your choice??

Why Do We Need Motivation At Work?

Sometimes I wonder why people easily give up their job, where in the first place, it’s the post they dreamed and wished to have. What it is that make them say “I don’t wanna do this anymore, I want something new.”?

Just a few days ago, I finally draw the answer to this question. It has something to do with the word MOTIVATION. What is motivation? For me, It’s similar to the word LOVE. Once an employee build a relationship with his employer, both should give motivation to one another or else the spark would die. It’s either the employee gets terminated or voluntarily leave the company. Anyways, it's always the employee who makes the first and last move, right?

No one can be completely happy working for someone who does not know how to appreciate his employee's effort and contribution to the company. Without motivation, the worker often get weary of his tasks because he’s unhappy; without motivation, the worker feels the time is ticking so slow; without motivation, the worker won’t be inspired to excel because he is only thinking "hmn, ito lang naman binibigay nila, so tama na itong ginawa ko.” ; without motivation, the worker loses faith and loyalty to the company.

As an employee, we don't wish for additional compensation (though money is the best motivator) for every new talent or ideas we share. All we need is a simple act of gratitude, of recognition, of inspiration. Nothing can make an employee a lot happier than being appreciated for what he/she does.

Rediscovering Oneself

I like this simple quote from Henry David Thoreau "Not until we are lost do we begin to understand ourselves."

I knew some people who literally travel around the country or even the world to find themselves. They travel because in some way, they feel lost; they want to rediscover themselves and unveil the truth about the awkward feeling of being lost. But when they come home, they still have the same feeling..a gnawing emptiness on their hearts, a bunch of unanswered question.,, a longing to feed their soul with light and truth.


As we all know, life is full of irony. We often seek to find ourselves but when we find some undesirable characteristics or traits within our personality; we became so scared to let it out. We became so frightened to face our weaknesses. I guess it’s the ego speaking. It’s the naughty monster residing on each of us. If we fail to submit it to our power, it will eat us till we are left with nothing but questions about our identity.


Trust me; there is no greater enemy than oneself. Putting yourself--- your desires in control is like taming a raging bull. You might press it to the ground but sure enough, you'll bleed for the expense of a worthless battle.


I know it's very uncomfortable to know oneself but it feels more awkward to be a stranger to your own self. Let your soul breathe. Set yourself free.
