knowing these young men is such a great blessing...

happiness is...

having friends who'd stand by you no matter what...
friends who won't ask, they'd just understand...
friends who'd listen even if words are not spoken,
friends who'd give space to grow,
friends who'd respect one's individuality,
friends who'd love and accept one for who he/she is...

having friends like them makes my life worthwhile...
friends who make me happy...

keeping my heart out of sight

some say i have turned into someone as hard as a rock,
as cold as ice,
maybe it is because they do not understand what i am going through...
maybe it is because they really don't know me,
they judge me out of the things they hear about me,
they harshly comment on what i do,
they rarely take time to see what my intentions are...
people misunderstand me,
i am NOT my work...
i am what i am...
you just have to believe...
take time to get to know me,
maybe you'd see who i really am...
you'll see the pain I'm in...
you'll see that i am not as happy as i seem,
i am not as strong as i appear to be...

you'll see that i am broken...

and almost hopeless...

so don't go on making me feel how bad i am for being cold...
i have my reasons...
i need to keep my heart out of sight...
I'm just trying to be fair with myself...
I'm just trying to help myself heal...
give me time...

close encounters...

i am dating...
i have a constant date with this wonderful guy...
He's fun to be with,
He makes me feel good about myself,
He is really nice.
we get along really well.
I could tell Him anything and everything under the sun.
after a long day at school, it just feels good having someone to talk to.

As i walk my way home, i stare at the stars and just admire how He wisely placed everything in its proper place.
I just start to tell Him stories, especially those about my classmates.
I try not to forget to listen to what He wants to tell me.

At the end of each day, I try my hardest to remember that the world may throw at me the biggest of all the problems there is, but then, i have one big God to back me up, there's no need to fear. Everything's gonna be okay, I'll do just fine.

random thoughts

one name: Don Bosco!!!

the foundation week may be over but i am still on high...
last night was one of the coolest nights ever!
that was the time when i felt that i really AM a Bosconian...
happiness just overwhelmed me and it almost made me cry...
true enough, Don Bosco lives on.
he lives in each Bosconian there is, the inspiration he left us is just so great.
I feel really blessed having a saint for a father.
I feel blessed being with people who makes life really wonderful.
