I was reminiscing my college days when I saw a post from my cousin Kuya Dwight. I just don't know if how accurate the post is, but if ever it's true, then I'd be happy for this. I am a Josephian, (preschool to high school alma matter, St. Joseph School, Naga City) a Chinese Catholic school that was so strict and closed minded with extra curricular activities (it was before btw), Josephians were known before as students who doesn't know anything but to study and study. I'm not bragging about anything, it's how they describe us in one way or another. And, for the record, I'm just an average gal when I was in that school. Then came to the point wherein I got to choose where I would take my tertiary level. A lot of brainstorming and mind boggling questions came at my doorstep and I finally found a university that was far away from my home. Now I am a Louisian. I took my tertiary level at Saint Louis University. For 4 years of stay in that university, I found people so down-to-earth, unique and who'll accept you the way you are. No pretentions, no worries, in other words... I felt so at home and loved. Darn I miss my college friends big time!!!!!! =(..

PSP Prologue

I’m plain.. i’m stripes. and i’m printed

im plain with clear outlook to who i am. im not much of a talker because i am much of a listener, i like to scribble anything that comes out of my mind. sometimes i say it, sometimes i don’t, because there are things that should be left unsaid for others to realize that the absence of word will be enough for an asnwer. no matter how complex life is, i’d still like to live life plain and simple, because too much pre-occupation on the complex can make a person dull and stupid.

i live in stripes..vertical or horizontal.. there are a lot of ways to survive this life called reality. we may have the same coping mechanisms, but we differ on how we feel and react towards all those stressors in life. i live by my words by hit or miss, i stand for what i say.. sometimes life can be misleading because of mouths around us that can make or break us. be affected with what others say or be the effect of what you say to others. it’s a matter of how you strip in the stripes that crosses over your pathway.

i need some prints in my consciousness. i need your reactions to teach me how to live life well and to use my words in the utmost good way. we all need someone beyond ourselves who can pop our heads out to be awakened by reality. we all leave prints in the heart of all those we meet, as you leave prints in my heart, i’ll try to leave something in your heart as well. don’t forget that prints can be also be scars, so let us stay away from that.

Anything visible is powerful, what is Plainly seen, Stripes that crosses over, and Prints that leave marks. But the unseen in a person is something that we should learn, explore and understand. PSP and the unknown is what is within ME that makes me human enough to co-exist with you.

I am the me who can’t be you, but I can share my life with you.
