Three, two, one! Change! As the fireworks blend with the stars in the beautiful sky of the New Year’s Eve, drinks up! Kiss your partners! And create your new year’s resolution. It might not as useful, but it’s the time, you reflect, and look at the mirror, what are your flaws, your shortcomings or the reasons why some time last year, you were sad, you had enemies or you were disappointed. Maybe not all of us have realized this, but as we say “this year I will be” is the time we find remedy for our mistakes. New Year is a very wonderful time; a new calendar with a new set of numbers will stand in our way, and a smile in our faces, that has started this year right.
Make new friends;
Make choices;
Respect;
Change.
For the better.

Happy New Year everyone!
Recall, reflect, and then change. You will not regret that.
An experience, an awaited event. The sun is shining, the waves are crashing. The moon shows up, get ready to get your drinks up. Tomorrow is a day you won’t think about tomorrow. The next thing you’ll know, farewell.
I want to be as creative as possible so I wrote a poem.
From that little fingers I see my reflection
The fragment of love others see.
The shadows of time walk faster than you.
In your displacement you were blind
The towering mannequin you look up to
Ignored; the path, unstable
Monarch of nobility you revere
Your eyes, teary
Your lips, smiling
The figurine once doubtful, you see clearly
Your eyes defined the world you live in
You picked them up, you started living.

Today, I will travel through time in my best memory of you.
I was waiting for the car. I was going to pick you up.
You looked so beautiful, I opened the door for you, you went inside the car, and together, we are on our way to our graduation ball. When we came in, people we’re happy, it was festive. Snapshots, smiles, food and friends were all over the place.
It’s so funny, we had our fight during the graduation ball, you went outside the room, I followed you, You were on the verge of crying, and I said I love you. We went back to the room, and there, we had our first dance. It was SPECTACULAR. I held you in my arms as if you are mine. And we swayed to the music. The night was turning well.
The program was finished, we all went down to our hotel rooms, we started drinking vodka and soda. I was feeling tipsy, you were there, I was feeling drunk, you were there. And when I said things that I shouldn’t say, you were there, you comforted me, you wiped my tears. You didn’t sleep for me, I slept in your lap. And in that moment, I wanted to be committed to you, I wanted to own you, I was madly inlove with you.
It was more than a graduation ball and another drinking session, it is more than that. It was a night, a memory with someone I love. It was an experience with her, and as I release my sadness, she was my barrier.
I will forever remember that experience. And you will forever be a memory.
Did you ever did something bad or things that made you disappointed? Things that caused you too much pain. That made you consider time traveling. Wishing you could have redo things that made you upset or sad. Wishing you could change things so that results will be better.
This “incidents” provoke you to think about “what-ifs”. what if i didn’t do this or that. Would it be different? Things that can make you depressed or make you feel uneasy. because you don’t want what happened. Because you don’t want something to be broken or to be damaged or to be vanished. The thought of “time traveling” makes you feel jinxed, the thought of looking back or nostalgia… It makes you feel very weak, weak to the point that you will just close your eyes and let that teardrop fall.
This “time traveling” helps you to move on or to give up. GIVE UP, if the “reminiscing” is too much that you can’t handle, you will give up, but if you look it to the other side, looking the better or the brighter side of things, you will definitely move on.
Wishing someone back is normal, but expecting it to be back isn’t. Stop pretending that things will be back to you, life isn’t a boomerang.
Move on, continue, and be happy, because at the end of the day, you will still realize that all you wanted is to be happy, and that’s what you should be doing.
Goodnight.
I have been fighting my sadness since I was a little child. It is a part of my system to never open up with my family because we never really showed each other signs of weakness. That is why everytime I feel sad, I just write about the things I feel. I always show my companions that I am happy, as if I was never sad. Then the day comes that my dad will leave us. He suffered from diabetic stroke. And by that, its only my family who I can weep with. It was very hard for me, since my dad is always there for me to guide me in my school works, to every problems I had in life.
When he passed away, I was talking to myself, “What will I do now?” this is because I really can’t imagine my life without my father. But what made me sad is my worry for my mom. How can I make her feel happy again? That question that until now, I cannot seem to find an answer. I feel so helpless for my mom because I can’t do anything to make her feel better, to replace the love my dad has showed her. This is my worst experience.
Until now, I can tell that I am unhappy, that everything in my life seems to be incomplete. I was the only one fighting for my own pride, for my own sadness. I want to be happy again. To fill those spaces I know that is empty.
