A Meaningful Struggle

The Kindness of People

The Kindness of People

Have you ever had a constant week of rain falling on top of your head and a constant feeling of gloominess even when it's not a rainy season? Because, if you do, then great! We're on the same boat. But, once in a while, someone, someone

The Rainy Season

The Rainy Season

As of writing this, it is now the 10th of July, 2016, and we're well on our way onto the start of the rainy season (or "monsoon season," as I like to call it). There's not much to this season in particular, other than

Camp Calye Day 4: 4 Days of Magic

Camp Calye Day 4: 4 Days of Magic

Unlike the days before, the fourth day wasn't filled with any fun activities and was very... void, so to speak, of any activities. As far as I can remember, all I remember that happened this day was the human rollercoaster activity and the awarding of groups. The morning

Camp Calye Day 3: Star Trekking

Camp Calye Day 3: Star Trekking

It was already my third day at Camp Calye and, for some reason, I was already starting to wear out from the trip. Rather sad to say, but I really didn't get enough sleep the past few nights and my there was this unbelievable pain on my left

Camp Calye Day 2: There Will Be Mud

Camp Calye Day 2: There Will Be Mud

As I awake from my not-so-pleasant slumber, I slowly came to and immediately realized that I was still at Kampo Trexo, and it's already the second day of camp. After taking 5 minutes or so to "initialize my core services," I quickly opened my

Camp Calye Day 1: Caroling with the Carolets

Camp Calye Day 1: Caroling with the Carolets

"Opportunity only knocks once," they say, as it seems that you are only given one chance to experience one of the best things in life—and thankfully I didn't pass up mine. My story with Camp Calye began around late March, when a friend of mine

My Big Sister

We all have that friend who shares almost the same set of interests as us, or someone who likes something as much as us. For me, that person is my big sister, +Elaine Avriele Santos. Obviously, it's great to have a friend like that, but what happens when

My First Semester

My First Semester

Oh man, my second term at Asia Pacific College has just started and, well, it is . . . not what I expected. It is hard to say but, man, do I wish I could go back in time to the start of my all-English term. Looking back, my English term was

My Scary Halloween Day

My Scary Halloween Day

Halloween just ended a few minutes and, I swear to God, most of my friends are making the most out of their Halloween. Yo, I'm seeing pictures of my best friends all getting themselves ready for Halloween. Decked out with the latest costumes coupled with somewhat-realistic effects

The Dream of a Better Tomorrow

The Dream of a Better Tomorrow

As far back as I could remember, I've always dreamt and imagined of a better tomorrow. A new world free from chaos, suffering, anguish, and evil. Back then, I could only think of somewhat simple futuristic scenery, one of which was of a car slowly gliding through a

My Last Junior-Senior Prom

My Last Junior-Senior Prom

Once I entered the ballroom, everything looked fancy and expensive as hell.

Friday the 13th

Friday the 13th

As you all know, tomorrow is Valentine's Day, and as usual, I have no plans for the said date. The main reason why I have no plans for tomorrow is, well, because I have no one to make a plan for, for tomorrow. I mean, I don'

People

Unless you basically live your whole life inside your room and in front of your computer—or you live in a secluded mountain far, far away with only you living on it—you will meet new people, almost everywhere, actually. Now, I'm not going to start off this

Sparks Fly (Literally)

That was one busy Sunday for me. I'm sorry for posting late, and on a Monday, at 12am in the morning. But hey, it's better late than never, am I right. So, last weekend, I had a lot of stuff to do. I was crammed with

Hindrances

Like everything, humans are imperfect. Almost everything that we make, from software to the schedules we have planned out, even by looking at our history, you can see that we, as a species, are imperfect like the rest. We have flaws—vulnerabilities that cannot be patched—and there are those

Starry Road

As I was walking, I constantly looked at the starry night sky, amazed at the number of stars above me. There was not much, but I saw few, and that's good enough for me.

High School

Sorry if I've been "off the radar" for a while, I was busy with school-related stuff and activities and I was just "immersed" in planning and preparing my senior year. I'm graduating this year so there's a lot more

Last Summer

I have nothing to do now and nothing to talk about :/ Nevertheless, I decided to post something. Ahhhh...I remember my old Minecraft base. See, back then I used to play Minecraft all the time (I'm not childish or whatever, I just played it for the fun of

As a perfectionist, I try to make my cup of coffee perfect with every drop.
