Life’s Like That
2011 Epilogue – Year in Review
Life has never been so different. Army came like a bombshell that shook my ground in 2010. Then in 2011, the year was almost all about it. This is what happened: TRADING MEMORIES I HELD, FOR STORIES YET UNTOLD. I realize in 2010 that if we kept too ourselves tied to the past, we can’t [...]
Of Poi Balls, Haka and people of Māori
If it wasn’t for the stunning vista of the Auckland War Memorial Museum and its glorious architecture on the Auckland Domain, I probably wouldn’t have known what is going on. It was by a chance of luck did I manage to reach the museum in time for a Māori Cultural Performance. Wikipedia says Māori are [...]
The Bucket List On Steroid.
I know. I know. I should be posting up pictures of the oh-so amazing New Zealand adventure I had. The only issue holding me back is the fact that every. single. time. I open up those pictures I go into a Holiday Withdrawal Syndromes which include regurgitation, depression and brain spasm. Until I see a [...]
Last of Escape Theme Park
Yesterday was a riot of feelings. There was something about the closure of the Park that sent hundreds of former crews flocking back after so many years. Deep inside, we know how much this place meant and how much priceless memories that are untold of. Following what Aisha would say, these people are the reasons [...]
This is what it would be like if you weren’t you anymore.
I do not even know how to start off my writing. So much have happened as we go on with our lives. I mean, how else would you describe in entirety a friend who went to the same primary school, then the same secondary school, and suddenly both of you are specialists in a military. [...]
Our lives are immeasurable.
If we ever started calculating and measuring how much we “owe” people and the same kind of favor we have to return to people, we could very well put a price tag on our heads. Today had me thinking and I just came to realized why I have not joined the regular force in the [...]
This is the way I see it.
No one is subjected to my opinion, but I know that the way I see things would probably upset (or even offend) a certain group of people. I am entitled to my voice, and I am free to write. I may have a problem or two, but definitely not as much. At one point in [...]
Personal Statement
I used to be that student who would probably – and literally – slapped you in the face if I don’t like the way you talked. I don’t care how you would like to report me to the principal, but I know its unmistakable you ought to be slapped. If I never liked you, I [...]
When today was unreachable in the past.
I was seated in the lecture hall, being a Recruit, as a video of how Specialists are trained in the Specialist Cadet School flashed on the projection screen. Boy, did I remember how I felt; I was awe-stricken and I thought I never would go so far that stage. I mean, where would I garner [...]
A motion picture.
I’m 22 years old this year. Boy, did time past too fast! I’m being all nostalgic and irritating now because the military life I’m leading now have made me see the world, and all the people in my life, with another perspective. It made me realized how much precious time I’ve lost. It feels like [...]
