memories.
tingling laughter. voices from the past
blurry faces. ghosts from yesterday
memories.
faded photographs. wilted flowers.
crumbling papers. messages of love.
promises. made. broken.
memories.
nothing but memories.

No to RED
Insurgency is a sore thumb that hinders the nation's progress. It is a disease that feeds on the strength of the country; a dead weight that slowly pulls and buries the nation in a quicksand. It destroys all potentials, ruin economies and dims hope. Its continued existence is a bane to a country striving to develop.
A revolutionary government is not the answer to corruption and poverty. Bullets and bombs do not offer solutions that would solve the problems of this country. And no true Filipino could survive in a communist government. Filipinos, afterall, values their freedom as much as they value their blood.
Forty years is a long fight. Lives have been wasted, billions have been spent, blood was spilled in an attempt to heal the disease. It needs the collective effort of every single Filipino who trully loves their country to stop the disease from spreading and eventually killing the whole nation.
The war against insurgency is not just the government's war; it is every Filipinos war. The so-called principles of the Communist movement are nothing but lies. Corruption inside the movement is even worst than that in the government. The promises given by the rebels to lowly folks are nothing but propagandas aimed to ruin the image of the government and win the hearts of the people.
They promise a better life for those who support them but only their higher-ups enjoy the profits of their extortion activities. The poor remains poor.
They claim that members of the armed forces are harassing the people but it is them who really do. They are the ones who do not mind if the ordinary folks has nothing more to eat as long as they could get something from them. They are the ones who would get the very last centavo of the lowly hinterland folks in the name of revolution. They are the ones who would get the very last chicken of the poor farmer who has nothing more to give. Them who burns properties, threatens and hurt people if they don't pay the revolutionary tax. It is them that causes this country to suffer.
They see every "atrocity" of the government but they are blind to their own atrocities. They see corruption in the government but they don't speak of corruption in their own ranks.
There can be no real progress while they continue to exist. And unless every Filipino realize that they have a part to play in the war against these vermin, properties will continue to be burned and lives will continue to be wasted.
We don't need to take up arms to fight. In our own ways we can help in the fight against insurgency. Let us help in healing the sore thumb because insurgency is our fight too.

there is such a thing as perfect.
When you start looking at things differently, then you'll also start realizing that the world could be perfect despite its imperfections.
The moment you start seeing the light in every problem and the beauty created by pressure, you'll learn to appreciate the perfectness of this world.
The time you stop looking at your flaws as if it could kill you, its also the time that you'll realize that you are perfect.
Because life is perfect. There is such a thing as perfect.
Our tiny flaws makes us perfect. The tinny tiny bits of imperfection makes us a perfect example of the human race.
There is such a thing as a perfect human being. They are people who makes mistakes but learns from it; knows their flaws and accepts it. The perfect human beings are not those who never commits mistakes, never fails, never stumbles, never falls. They are those who stumbles but stands up and starts again.
It is not the lack of flaws that makes us perfect. It is our imperfection that makes us perfect.

the heart says it all.
You can lie to others but you can never lie to yourself.
You can hide from others but you can never hide from yourself.
The mouth may say something but the heart keeps everything.
