World Youth Day
Word of God the message of service
On the contemporary word it is a challenge of holiness;
Reality therefore, you are called to believe:
Little of reason; little of emotion to perceive-
Details of truth in human terms and condition
You are in great distress before modernity
Over the years of wrestle against dishonesty;
Under the banner of secrets and lies-
The culture of no sense of sin in your heart dwells;
Have no fear, and learn to share in Gods mission
Duty and responsibility the pillar of fate
Across time and space ne charitable in your faith
Yes, be open to the possibilities of sacrifice
-the saving act of God through Christs passion

My classmate
Day after day I stared at you
With your angelic face magnify my eyes
Started to dream if I could make friend with you
To be acquainted and communion face to face
Even the thoughts flew so high but what if no
Our gesture normal as it is yet in veil
As if you keep your distance I dont have the cue
But still you haunted me and Im loosing my will
Night after night I made my plan
For the right time I know soon will come
But devil took it away using his magic wand
A spell that I dont know what next to come
Nothing left for me time flew as easy it should be
Finally I have to decide less youll gone
And left me behind wondering if you can see
The difficulty of this feeling of being lonely
I am crazy I know if I will let you go
For what reason that you are here next to me
Sharing different stories but I still dont know you
Until you go my heart still on you zzeee like a bee
So hard to speak if youre around I am loosing my head
My heart skip a beat like a stone so hard yet so soft
But I know this will end up so soon I know it will
Our roads will part but thanks weve met my dear classmate

+ Pride
Pride
I heard you saying it is the first of the seven deadly sins
But for me it is a virtue and its absence cause deficiency
We only need to restore it, our major goal in treatment
For if it is destructive, conceit and arrogance among our fellows
Then the pride in us properly be called unhealthy
Not a feeling of positive regard to drew out our potentiality
Pride without humility is a feeling of superiority
But for pride in a correct understanding, feels good of who he is
Aware of his limitation and retains a secure heart
For pride is his justice of admiration for humanity
Without he alone or she only but share the success with others
For failure of others has no room in the heart
and acceptance never depart
Pride then is a feeling of positive regard of himself
Very healthy feeling a tremendous motivator for self actualization
He does not need to elevate from others for he is secure and mature
A genuine self pride moves to condemn not but to promote no strife
For pride is part of him but not unjust yet with self communion
Self aware of being not vexed by power of pride
but possesses mature and healthy nature

Fate- destined
You are lucky you are chosen
The goodness of life
is in your sight and vision
Dignity always and forever-
That cannot be just a dream,
In the ways of righteousness
And pass the test of time
With the heavenly grace
The fountain of life- sing praises,
Achievement is one of a kind
You will be- mirror of change
To fill life with its flesh- the bliss
And fate will be the only reflection
While faith- yours is the light
For in God you are his beloved child
Fate- that is the journey for you
To love and to live
To love and to let live
