Afterglow

-

 

      "Tell me that you're still mine". A short line from Taylor Swift's composition from the album "Lover," which has become one of the fan favorites since then. This hit song has captured the hearts of everybody, especially around Valentine's Day, since it is based on a form of conceptual process linking with the past with a certain person. Every store I visited to on February 14th most likely played this behind those walls and speakers. Yet every minute, every phrase of hearing this on repeat has made me understand how I wasted someone who sacrificed everything for me without realizing how close that person was.

        Valentine's Day. For one thing, they must have shared large, beautiful bouquets of flowers or various chocolate packs with their beloved. Yet, in my experience, I spent my day regularly. Nothing unusual, just a typical day and cycle. Yet when I went home from school, the song "Afterglow" kept playing in my head. That gave me that fleeting feeling and reminded me of that one specific person. I never expected that individual to care for me. I had never imagined that someone so volatile would go to such lengths merely to be seen.

        After a few seconds, I got to my senses and started to walk again way home. Reminiscing what could have been, should have been. Then, I realized that loving someone is really subjective. Because, at the end of the day, it is your decision. And pick someone who actually loves you. Pick someone who will stick around.

Scribbles: Lines, Loops and Squiggles

      I am of mixed emotions to grasp how three-fourths of our school year went so fast. I would have to say things have changed for the better. I think.  Scribbles may not make any sense to some.  Just like scribbles, my mind is hard to comprehend what happened. A mixture of lines, loops, and squiggles. But these scribbles somewhat hide a deeper meaning in children's eyes.       Throughout this quarter, I have learned many things and encountered different experiences, both exciting and challenging especially on our subject, Information and Communications Technology. It has been a great moment to develop my knowledge and understanding in each of the different areas within the subject. The quarter as a whole has enabled me to explore further my strengths and work on improving my weaknesses so that I can enhance my overall performance. For one, our community-based research in our subject had engaged us in working with other students during...

Tomorrow is Never Promised

          "Tomorrow is never promised" a universal truth that we all must accept. Life is unpredictable and we never know what the future holds. However, we can still make plans for the future and work towards our goals. As I reflect on where I see myself in a decade, I realize that anything can happen, but I can still prepare for a future that I desire. I can still make a difference      In ten years, I see myself as a medical student still studying and thriving. I have always been passionate in this field and always had the drive to purse it. I had this slogan at heart ever since to help the sick serving my community by providing and improving their health and overall wellbeing.      Of course, it is impossible to predict what challenges may arise in the future. However I plan to be prepared for whatever comes my way. I see myself continuing to learn and grow both personally and professionally. I plan to take advant...
