I remember you.
You were in my dream.
I don't know why,
But that's what it seemed.
We were together
It was one long night
Walking with two others,
Seeing bright lights
You wore a shirt, it was black
Same color as my jeans, not slacks
I couldn't remember the shirt I wore
This dream though, it felt real, I'm sure
We were walking on a path of rocks
Looked at each other, had small talks
You held my hand, I wasn't sure why
But it was as if I was yours, and you were mine
Entered the house, we removed our socks
We were both tired from the long walks
Still holding my hand, you pulled me inside
As if you thought I was leaving, but nope, I stayed right by your side
As we entered the room, there were lots of mattresses
Scattered on the floor, well, they weren't really a mess
We saw the two others, each of them in individual beds
And we thought, it's finally time for us to rest our heads
As we were going to bed, you sat beside me
You looked at me, you smiled, it was full of glee
We talked, we laughed, we felt so free
It's as if we've known each other forever, as if there's more to see
You held me on my shoulder, your eyes were locked on me
I smiled at you, you smiled again with glee
What happened next? Oh right, we shared a kiss.
I don't know why, but now, it's something I miss.
I woke up from that dream, crying.
It was one in the morning.
I didn't know why, but it felt so real.
And at first, it wasn't really a big deal.
But as days, weeks, months went by,
I really don't know why,
But I couldn't look at you the same,
Because my heart's slowly screaming your name
In that span of months, I occured two more dreams
With you, with us, and just so you know, it seems
That I'm scared of this, I'm scared of everything
I'm scared of us, I end up overthinking
Until now, I tend to disregard the feeling
Because tolerating it could be misleading
I'm a happy yet problematic human being
Afraid of my own choices and the risks I'm taking
But whatever I'm feeling right now,
As much as I want to tell you somehow...

"Media and Culture"
 |
| Mass Media Student Starter Pack: Journal/Planner, Pen, and any book related to Journalism/Mass Media. (Photo via Instagram) |
I was at SM San Lazaro yesterday with my siblings, and it so happened that they're going to National Book Store to browse and buy books. Of course, I browsed as well, up to the point where I found this book entitled "Media and Culture: Global Homogeneity and Local Identity" by Rachel E. Khan from the Asian Congress for Media and Communication (ACMC). I do like reading books, but this one's different. This caught my attention because of three things:
First, it's basically about media.
Yes, we do all know that media is very powerful and is accessible most of the time. One obvious example is the internet through social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and of course Google+. One like can catch one's attention; one share can change one's perspective or point of view; and one post can affect one's reputation. Media acts as some kind of syringe that injects propaganda directly into our minds.
Second, it focuses on trends.
The world has become a global village due to technology. We get to eat the same food, watch the same shows on television, read the same fiction books, learn about the latest fashion trends, we realize that the media disseminates cultural trends. The idea of having trends include processes of intellectual and aesthetic developments and the products of doing intellectual and artistic activities. It's similar to culture.
And lastly, Journalism.
"In the postmodern world of today, definitions and concepts have exceeded their conventional connotations and agendas. Journalism, media, and news reporting are no exceptions. With the rapid development in communication and the personalization of these instruments through digital cameras, cell phones, blogs, and YouTube, new windows of opportunity have opened in the news-making process."
In our generation today, with the development in communication, "citizen journalism" exists. Yes, we can consider ourselves as citizen journalists— people from the audience who were only recipients of the news. The role of citizen journalism is essential in reporting of all kinds of issues, such as politics, human rights, and the environment. There are cases wherein authorities cover up the real situation. But thanks to media and citizen journalism, the public has a more practical view on what's happening.
Well, it looks like I'll be studying media this summer. Bye! Take care and God bless ☺

"My Purpose In Life"
“Do the right thing, at the right time, in the right place, with the right person, and everything will turn out right.” – This motto from a certain blue school in Marikina had been a very significant saying in my life, for this had been my life motto since my preparatory school days. These were the days when life was still easy; when happiness was just a long-life feeling and not yet a choice. But growing up, I wonder, why do I exist? How important am I? What is my purpose?
People knew me as an obedient and well-oriented student, since I dedicate most of my time helping and serving in the learning and/or teaching environment. In high school, I got recognized for being that hardworking student who attends classes from 6am to 12pm and stays until 7pm for the sake of waiting for her sister and spends her time assisting members from the afternoon shift. I received a leadership award for my dedication to serve the environment, which has been my passion for years. I was known by many, because I’ve been doing good deeds, which I consider as the right thing to do. But behind this, I suffered a lot. Let me tell you my story.
At the blue school, I was known for two things: 1) my brother who gained many achievements due to his intelligence and enthusiasm in academics, and 2) my ambition and the school’s ambition of doing everything right. They consider me intelligent yet still curious with things; immature in giving reactions, but mature (or sometimes over-mature) when having conversations with the older peeps. But at that time, I kept my ego as simple as possible. But in 5th Grade, things were different. I did my best to keep the motto alive, but I felt lost, depressed. I got bullied, both physically and emotionally. I was humiliated by my teacher just because I had a crush on a man whom she liked, and then threatened me that she would fail me, which would affect me being in the honor roll. I maintained my good grades though, and surpassed 5th Grade with 3rd Honors. But excluding the high grades and recognitions, I realized that I became an emo. I became a rebel. I became too serious with life, and felt nothing but sadness, hatred, pain, hardship. And who would have thought that a 3rd Honor student would attempt suicide?
Yes, timing is a funny thing. I did attempt suicide in 5th Grade because I felt like I’ve been carrying all problems of the world. I thought that it was the end. But then, I remembered, God is with me, and He gave me a purpose: to do the right thing, at the right time, in the right place, with the right person, and everything will turn out right. I felt like the motto stayed within me.
I graduated from Grade school, and then pursued High School; two years in the blue school, and two years in a Public school where I met all kinds of people. I thanked God for all the blessings, for He never left me despite everything that happened. And as mentioned earlier, my efforts were recognized. I graduated from High school, and well, here I am now in College. Until now, the motto bears within me, that I should do what’s right; to do good deeds and be a blessing to everyone. I must do the right thing, never giving a damn about what others say. God is with me, never left me. I almost lost my faith, but He was there all along. In the end, I found my purpose.

Twenty-Five Facts and A Truth
I ignored this years ago, but I think that now is a good time to do such. Okay, here it goes.
(Note: I got this from Facebook, but decided to post it here instead. I need to update this site, duh.)
Rules: Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose at least 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. (But I won't tag, because this ain't Facebook.)
1. I was born and raised in the Philippines with English as my first language. I learned the Filipino language or Tagalog back in first grade.
2. In connection to 1, back in pre-school, my class adviser asked my mom if she stayed in America for a few years or if she married an American. Yes, my teachers thought that I'm a Filipino-American, and actually, I looked like one back then.
3. In my pre-school yearbook, it was stated that I wanted to become a doctor someday. But then I realized, I am afraid of surgeries and too much blood.
4. I used to write for the school paper back in my last two years at IJA.
5. I attempted suicide in 5th grade due to bullying (both physically and emotionally), but ended up being an honor student with no grade lower than 85. #medyodeadkid
6. According to Mark 12:31, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." I don't hate people. I have no capacity for hatred. I don't think that "hating" someone would be the answer to anyone's problem/s. I only lose respect for those people who 'I don't like', and as my dad reminds me often, "hate the sin, but not the sinner".
7. I know how to get along with almost all kinds of people, except for those people who are actual pains in thy ass and are considered 'bad influences'. Yup, screw those who do illegal things.
8. Everyone thinks that I am too mature and open-minded for my age, except for my mom and siblings (and dad thinks that my over-maturity could lead to me looking older than my age, noooo!).
9. I loved my former school, IJA, but I never liked their system after Mrs. C.F. Mallonga died. (Cheers to those IJAians who can relate!)
10. I planted my first tree in 6th grade. It's located somewhere in Liwasang Kalayaan Circle Park (near CnB Circle Mall). Until now, it still exists, and in good condition. Believe it or not, I still visit it whenever I have the time to go there.
11. I suck at time management. Enough said.
12. I never say no to tasks that I can do, but when I get lazy or depressed, I literally isolate myself from everyone.
13. I don't usually get sick. I get severely sick every four years since 2nd grade, as observed by my parents.
14. I daydream about almost everything, except for relationships (if you know what I mean).
15. I had 3 Facebook accounts: my first account was hacked by my classmates back in 5th or 6th grade, my gaming account, and an account to connect with my school mates. Out of the 3 accounts, only my third account exists as of today. (I actually deleted my 2nd account because I don't play Facebook games anymore. And recently, I also deleted my 1st account, because of inactivity.)
16. Whenever I do volunteer work, it usually involves me working with people who are way too OLDER than me. It's frustrating, but challenging. Plus, they know how to appreciate (unlike some people).
17. I am in a church choir for more than a year already, although I haven't been active due to my studies. (Yes, I do sing. Listen.)
18. I attended voice lessons at Center for Pop Music Philippines, and performed at mall shows. Don't judge. Plus, I had a recital with some of my batch mates at UP Diliman's Aldaba Hall. I sang Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" which made my parents teary-eyed.
19. At school, students say that I am intelligent because of attending reviews in MSE (Math, Science, English) and that I love reading printed materials, but I consider myself a street smart than a book smart.
20. I had 11 cellphone numbers so far: 8 of these broke due to PUK (all of them were Globe sims), 2 of them disappeared (1 Smart sim and 1 Globe sim), and my current sim (also Globe).
21. As much as possible, I don't like speaking on stage. I'd rather sing. But whenever I'm already on stage, I feel confident and share whatever information that they need to know.
22. Three things I want to be when I grow up: an accountant, a lawyer, and a writer. My brother made me realize that Accountancy is hard, but I am still undecided between BS Accountancy (UE Manila) and MA Political Economy (UA&P) for college. As for writing, specifically Journalism, still on hold.
23. I have 5 siblings (6, including one miscarriage), and out of the six, I love my older brother the most. In fact, I was named after him. His name is Lord Daniel.
24. So far, I only disobeyed one rule in my entire life: bringing of gadgets at school (specifically my mobile phone and mp3 player).
25. My second name, Danielle, is pronounced as 'dan-nyel-lee'.
Plus, I don't look at the keyboard whenever I type something this long. Forgive me for the typographical errors. And I sometimes ignore my grammar, although I am a grammar nazi at mind.
My truth?
Truth: I never had a boyfriend, nor see myself in relationships. I am afraid of heartbreaks, short-term commitments and rejections. Anyway, I'm not into anyone right now. No plans as of today. I'd rather spoil myself first and focus on my studies, but I sometimes think that maybe it would be nice to often spend time with someone— possible hang outs, have dinner, explore new places. It doesn't seem to bother me, but who knows?
(Note: I got this from Facebook, but decided to post it here instead. I need to update this site, duh.)
Rules: Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose at least 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. (But I won't tag, because this ain't Facebook.)
1. I was born and raised in the Philippines with English as my first language. I learned the Filipino language or Tagalog back in first grade.
2. In connection to 1, back in pre-school, my class adviser asked my mom if she stayed in America for a few years or if she married an American. Yes, my teachers thought that I'm a Filipino-American, and actually, I looked like one back then.
3. In my pre-school yearbook, it was stated that I wanted to become a doctor someday. But then I realized, I am afraid of surgeries and too much blood.
4. I used to write for the school paper back in my last two years at IJA.
5. I attempted suicide in 5th grade due to bullying (both physically and emotionally), but ended up being an honor student with no grade lower than 85. #medyodeadkid
6. According to Mark 12:31, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." I don't hate people. I have no capacity for hatred. I don't think that "hating" someone would be the answer to anyone's problem/s. I only lose respect for those people who 'I don't like', and as my dad reminds me often, "hate the sin, but not the sinner".
