I make an allegory of what life means to me by what Mother Teresa said.
“Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.” Life is an opportunity to thank all those behind what and who we are now- -our family, friends- true and false; lovers, ex- lovers, teachers, acquaintances, strangers. Above all, God. These people help us shape our personality and define our attitude about life as we go along the way. It is a chance to win the respect of wise people and the affection of loved ones; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends.
“Life is beauty, admire it.” Despite of all the tragedies and killings and misfortune and chaos and cruelty, there is so much more in life to be admired of- - the breath of fresh air in the wilderness, the smile in every child playing with his/her playmate, the victory of achievers, the sunrise and the sunset and to uncover the best in others that we haven’t seen when we’re blinded by jealousy.
“Life is a challenge, meet it.” Life isn’t about finding ourselves; about creating ourselves, rather. We are the ones who make what we want us to be, either in the image and likeness of God or in Satan’s. The challenge is how we could meet life’s challenges.
“Life is a duty, complete it.” Life is under no obligation to give us what we expect to have. Instead, it reminds us of our duty to love and serve our fellowmen and live it in the accord of God.
“Life is a game, play it.” Playing it fair and not to win the battle for other’s disadvantage. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. Life has its own rules; we just have to discover them.
“Life is a promise, fulfill it.” It is a reminder to us that there is an eternal life after this life here on earth. There is a promise of salvation in heaven as we become one with Him.
Life is to love. And to be loved. It is to succeed in our endeavor and to never forget to look back where we have started. We must never get used to the unspeakable violence and the crude disparity of life around us. We must give back, persevere, listen and understand, and never look away.
“Life is sorrow, overcome it.” When tears break our peaceful nights because of strained relationships, we are reminded that death ends a life, not a relationship. Tomorrow is a new day; we shall begin it serenely and with too high spirit to be burdened with our old nonsense. Life sometimes is seeking joy in the saddest places.
“Life is a song, sing it.” An excerpt from Nicholas Sparks’ “The Last Song” reminds me of this. It goes this way, “Life, he realize, was much like a song. In the beginning there is mystery, in the end there is confirmation, but it’s in the middle where all the emotion resides to make the whole thing worthwhile.”
“Life is a struggle, accept it.” A struggle for survival, yes. But it’s more than the going-home-late-at-night because of overtime or trading flesh to feed hungry mouths, but the fulfillment in everything that we do and having a sleepy conscience. When things go wrong and we seem left stranded, life is like riding a bicycle. To keep our balance, we must keep moving. It is accepting the consequences and learning from our mistakes.
“Life is a tragedy, confront it.” Because of the heights of modernization, life is more convenient. But the saddest part of it right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom. For me, it’s a tragedy. We must do something about it.
“Life is an adventure, dare it.” In life we must learn to laugh often and much even, and meet different people in a while. Sometimes life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
“Life is luck, make it.” Some are undeniably above in the society while some sleep in shanties, but life provides us the signs of good luck. We just have to look and recognize them.
“Life is too precious, do not destroy it.” We shouldn’t be afraid of death; we should for an unlived life. Life is not to be wasted of and suicidal missions are never a solution. It is a gift from Above that we must take the best care of. We don’t have to live forever, we just have to live it the best way we can.
“Life is life, fight for it.” It’s all in the view. For any one of us, our lives could end in an hour, or a two, or in a decade from now. We never know for sure, so we’d better make every second count. Fighting against life exploitation and the threats to our dignity is one way out.
In the 19 years that I’ve been here in this world, there are three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life: it goes on. I may not have gone yet where I intended to go, but I think I will end up where I needed to be. If we don’t know where we are going, any road will get us there. It is just journeying over the unwinding road. Now I’ve learned, the hard way, that some poems don’t rhyme, and some stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, but taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what’s going to happen next.

Sept 13, 2010.
You’ve been a part of my life. You loved me. You cared.
Thanks for the memories. T’was just a short while, though.
Today is your day. I may not be with you at this special day, i will always be here for you. ;-)
Happy Birthday Jemmuel Arcayena!
There’s nowhere left to fall
When you reach the bottom it’s now or never..”
Everytime i hear this song, it reminds me of how much i was and am in love with this one guy. I love him. T’was always him. And it’l always be.
Then there’s times you look at me
As though I’m all that you could see
Those times I don’t belive it’s right I know it, know it..”
18 months of bein’ together. 18 months of happiness.
But now he belongs with someone else. i wept. i was hurt.
Gone are the days…
You know I’d fight for you but
How could I fight someone who isn’t even there..”
he told me,” i wnt u 2 hand my heart bhE . ! i love u m0re dan anything els. ! .mor dan my drims , fame, & m0r dn my lyf. i wlL love u f0rever bhE.! [datz an unbrEakable pRoMiz.] -i sweAr
Don’t make me promises baby
You never did know how to keep them well..”
..Or are we just friends
Is this how it ends
With a simple telephone call?
You leave me here with nothing at all”;-(
Well here we are again
I guess it must be fate
We’ve tried it on our own
But deep inside we’ve known
We’d be back to set things straight
I still remember when
Your kiss was so brand new
Every memory repeats
Every step I take retreats
Every journey always brings me back to you
(chorus)
After all the stops and starts
We keep coming back to these two hearts
Two angels who’ve been rescued from the fall
After all that we’ve been through
It all comes down to me and you
I guess it’s meant to be
Forever you and me
After all
When love is truly right
It lives from year to year
It changes as it goes
And on the way it grows
But it never disappears
(chorus)
(instrumental)
Always just beyond my touch
You know I needed you so much
After all, what else is living for?
(chorus)
