Minutes before 2012

Some thoughts about the ending 2011 and coming 2012:
-2011 was really fascinating with all these 1's and 11's. 2012 is more controversial with the news that the world is coming to it's end.
-It was a changing 2011 for me. New college and new friends, parents abroad and an independent me. It is going to be a challenging 2012 for me. Higher standards and goals, much more responsibilities, study more seriously.
-2011 was a bit emotional with all these childish thoughts and acts and being so careless, selfish, and spoiled little lass inside of me. 2012, I am going to take you more maturely and positively.
-Time is really a great healer. The not-so-good past must really be forgotten to face a so-so-good tomorrow.
-I was a stubborn kid of 2011, I am going to be an obedient teen of 2012.
-I got sick four times, and was hospitalized once during 2011. I am not going to feel any worries about my health this 2012.
-I have found no time and place in 2011 to spend more with God; I am going to spend every time and place with Him this 2012.
-I was full of love and care in 2011. My cup will always be empty to be filled with much more love and care this 2012.
 The Lord has been really good to me and I know that He will never change, no matter how many days, months or even years may come to my life. To Him will always be the thanks, the praise and the glory.
Happy 2012!

Hey, Blogger

Medyo naaalala ko pa yung mga dahilan ko kung bakit ako gumawa ng blog:
1. Paglalagyan ng mga kung anu-anong mga sulat at kalokohan ko pati ng mga classmates ko.
2. Paglalagyan ng mga sariling-akdang tula ng mga classmates ko pa din.
3. Paglalagyan ng mga nababasang mga inspirational stories.
4. Paglalagyan ng mga kakaibang nangyari sa buhay ko.
5. Paglalagyan ng mga nakatagong damdamin.
6. Paglalagyan ng mga naka-imbak sa utak na mga ideya at kaisipan.
Pangarap ko talagang maging manunulat. Hindi yung klase ng manunulat na ang mga sariling sulat ay ang sarili ko lang talaga ang magkakainteres. Sana nga lang talaga, ganoon. Hindi masama mangarap di'ba?
Puro lagayan lang pala talaga PARA SA AKIN ang blog. Sa inyo ba, ano ang blog niyo?

Prologue

I already have posted this three months ago and I just like a repost. Haha.
The truth is, I made this short story for the celebration of Buwan ng Wika last August. But then, I finished it late and hadn't posted it on time. So I blogged it as a random post.
This is my first short story ever written and is inspired by a University of the Philippines' student. I forgot his name and his book but thanks to him I have gathered ideas and thoughts and have written a story.
Being in the dormitory for the last month of the semester with no television, no money, no food, and no good internet, you'll really find ways just to get yourself busy and entertained. That is why, this came up.
I am not a pro-writer, just a beginner. Get yourself entertained too while reading.
Note: Characters, setting, and plot are all fictional.
Have Fun!

why then?

I have posted recently that I have made changes to my blog. These changes are not minor like simple things of changing the background or template. I made a major change to my blog, and that for me is the URL or the Uniform/Universal Resource Locator. According to Wikipedia, URL is a specific character string that constitutes a reference to an Internet resource. (Click Here to read more.) It's a major change for me, I do not know what other domain owners think out there. I have been holding "najbeingme.blogspot.com" for almost 3 years and it has made a contribution to me, should I say. I was really thinking many times before already changing the URL. I was thinking that I do not have any new URL in mind for a change and maybe some who read my blog may be lost if they try to visit this again. And without really second thought, although I was really thinking hard, I was already changing the URL to a new one and I clicked "Save". Now, there it is. Ta-da! The new URL: "not-really-an-arcane.blogspot.com.
While editing some other things in my blog, my sister sat next to me then asked me, "What's arcane, Ate?"
Well, I have read arcane in a magazine some months ago and I even have mistakenly read it as 'arcade' because they have the same spelling except for the 5th letter. So, I browsed the dictionary in my cellphone and found arcane. The dictionary says that, Arcane is something that is secret or mysterious. I found it interesting and it must have remained in my permanent memory and it came up while changing the URL.
I have read a blogpost that talks about trying to have a good URL. The blogger states there that it must really be eye-catching so that people would be interested in taking a peek or even look or read your blog. It must also not be a common URL. I really do not know what's a common URL, hehe. And the last thing I remembered he said is that do not even really try hard for your URL to be accepted when there is already an existing URL that you want. Like, forcing "gandaaaaaaaaa" as a URL because the word, 'ganda' is already used.
Well as for me, as long as the URL you want is what fits you, your interest or just what you like even it's really nonsense, use it. Just express yourself freely and I'm sure you will be contented and happy.

for the anniversary

After blogging for almost 3 years, I have already shared  many ideas, poems, stories, literature, writings, and many other stuffs. Some are quite interesting, others are just really nonsense but still I have expressed myself although not clearly ( yeah, right ). I have shared many but every tomorrow is always another day so everyday I can always have new thoughts and ideas in mind. This coming 2012, I am planning and it is also in the list of my New Year's Resolution to be always updated with this blog and I am also thinking of earning while just easily blogging. How  clever am I! LOL. So now that I am much serious than the last blog I have posted the first term of this passing year, I will really be earnest and diligent in blogging necessary and useful readings. Okay, I cannot promise that all my posts are really that worth reading but still it will be worth post adding. ( huh?? duh. )
For the 3rd anniversary of najbeingme.blogspot.com, I am changing the URL to not-really-an-arcane.blogspot.com. I changed the blog title to "a twerp" from "the less mystery". I like the blog description, I hope it really fits. I also have changed the background to my most favorite comic character - Charlie Brown and Snoopy. YEY, so happy. HAHA.

Patchwork of Love

People say a mother's love is the greatest. It is peace, need not to be acquired, need not to be deserved. Some also say she is a bank where we deposit our hurts, worries, and pains. Many has testified that her hope for her children never fails and that she has never lost her child in her prayers. Most sees that she is so strong yet she has the softest and largest heart. Men thinks that it is really hard being a mother cause if it were that easy, fathers then should do it.
My mother is like an angel. Well, not like. She really is an angel. God has given me the best angel. She is someone who has never lost her love for me though i have made mistakes and already hurt her too much. She has never taken me for granted. She always appreciates everything I do for her and is always proud of me.
But sometimes, although she has the greatest part of my everything, she still needs to be away from us - to work out of her own country just to support our needs and goals in life. She needs to sacrifice her time for her family just to spend time with others abroad. She is the superior in the house, she makes rules and regulations, and is always there to remind if anyone has forgot. But miles and miles away, she's only a mediocre, a follower, and the one who's is reminded. These things can make a person feel inferior, have low self-confidence, be homesick, be lonely. But I will believe to what most sees to mother - she is strong. Because this is what I see. She has never showed me how sad and hurt she is. Her tears are the most significant. They will never flow unless reasons are really something. A mother knows that when she cries, her children will cry too. They have a unique tie, my flesh are from my mother's. She still continues working because her children are her inspiration. She never minds the cumbersome work, the alone days, the give-up feelings. Instead, she is looking forward to what she has worked with would bring to her loved ones. She misses us already, and I miss her more.
I am really naive, not thinking that my mother won't always be happy and fine. I forgot that life on earth is really, really hard. I felt relaxed and easy with the temporary things. I forgot the special things that must have been taken an important notice.
Now I know the feelings of those people I know whose parents are abroad.
Although some are already used having their parents away from them, all I want them to feel and think of is that, a parent being away with the persons whom they really love and care is not easy. Making money is not at all easy, guys. How much more if they are away from their loved ones and there is no one whom they can talk to, and share their inmost feelings? It's really good hi-tech is here. There's no reason not talking to them.
 I can't imagine many months more without my mother. I miss her already. I miss my father too, of course. Can't wait for their coming back home. :D
People, love your mother. You never know how much she loves you.
