What are the most important things needed to live a good life?
You have a purpose.
You have a direction.
You have discipline.
You are healthy.
You have faith, hope, and love.
You have a means of living.
You have a support network from your inner circle.
With all these,
Peace of mind and happiness are viable.
Who do you spend the most time with?
She’s a very efficient company.
If I ask her to call someone,
Show me a location and all that—
She will.
The truth is, we’re all
Spending much of our time with our cellphone.
Is that bad?
Absolutely, it’s just our generation.
Alexa agreed.
Every child deserves
A meal; no child should endure
Hunger; starvation.
Are We Doing Better On Child Hunger, A Sweeping UNICEF Report

Describe your dream chocolate bar.
It’s a rich and too lustrous.
I’m holding on drooling.
I hope it’s not too too obvious.
Unwrapping it makes me forget my worries
And the foolish stories behind them,
Thinking to have it in my lips is what matters.
It’s deliciously bitter and irresistibly sweet—
Oh I can’t really, really wait to eat.
Do you remember your favorite book from childhood?
I remember,
the many afternoons with my father,
when I have to read and learn
about the earth and the solar system,
different animals, and plants.
I have to read aloud
and he would correct my pronunciation;
He would also add his input as often as he can.
It resulted to me
earning straight A from grade school to college
in Science, Math, and English.
But with all honesty,
what truly mattered to me,
were the tender moments with my father.
He passed away when I was twelve,
But I benefited from his legacy as a parent—
And that is, not to limit myself with what the
Schools provide
And to read and learn voraciously.
Scribbling with my thoughts;
I’m letting you read my mind—
What is the headline?
You’re exposing your vulnerability to another human being.
You do it with no remorse and willingly.
You would set aside all the questions in your head—because you’re taking all the chances
with that person.
Right or wrong, your heart would find a way to make it right,
Like as if you’re under a spell,
Without realizing that all of it,
Loving and sacrificing—
You’re doing it all so consciously
Like a damn martyr.
Better yet, love a little bit,
Just enough to feel human warmth;
Just to be human.
Save the “deep” for the Omnipotent,
Or your country.
And spare your heart from aches and pains—
Your sanity from insanity.
Therefore,
Save some for yourself.
Love a little bit less,
And save some for yourself.
Describe one simple thing you do that brings joy to your life.
It brightens my world.
It starts when I see one,
My eyes twinkle, twinkle
More than the stars do.
I unwrapped with care
As if I’m unwrapping something—
The only something—
I so wanted in life.
And in every bite is grace—
a bliss—
Inevitably,
I smile—
I smile as big as the crescent moon;
Because life is so worthwhile.
