Message in a Bottle

17


I have always been fond of poems. I also compose poems but right now I am more satisfied reading them. One of my favorite modern poets is Lang Leav. And I'll be sharing one of her proses that I can relate so much now. I truly love her poems. She just has a way with words that can struck my heart. I have electronic copies of two her books but I am hoping I can buy the printed ones as soon as I can!


Message in a Bottle


"No one truly knows who they are", he sighs.
"The glass bottle does not know its own contents. It has no idea whether it's a vessel for the most delicious apple cider, a lovingly crafted wine, or a bitter poison."
"People are the same. Yet like the bottle, we are transparent. We can't see ourselves the way others see us."
"How do you see me?", she asked.
"You are a bottle floating out at sea", he says.
"One that contains a very important message."
"It may never reach its recipient, but as long as there is someone waiting, it will always have a purpose."
"Will you wait for mine?"
"I will", he promised.
"I will look for you everytime I stand at the edge of the ocean."

Blue Moon

18

It was full moon two nights ago. And I didn't know that it was blue moon a month ago. If I just knew, I could have had a boyfriend right now. Naaah, kidding.
I don't really have someone to have that special relationship for now. It's just too sad that the "someone" I know gave up. Well, technically, he did not give up just yet because he's not telling me anything about it. But I think he is now. Because I can't feel him anymore. I was happy I gave him another chance. It was more like, giving us (although there there was no "us" yet. I know, it's complicated) a chance again. Because I still like him, after all.

But anywaaaay, that's an entirely different topic. Today I just wanna talk about blue moon and the significance I gave to it.

We are familiar with the saying that goes, "Once in a blue moon." Which means, things happen so rarely. People used that term because blue moon actually happens, and it's rarely. But of course, it not the color changing of the moon to blue but it is the second of two full moons in a month. This can happen when the first full moon appears on the first few days of the month, usually on the 1st then blue moon appears on the last day of the month.
(If you wanna know more, just click the link below this post.) And they say that in most rare occassions, there is an actual and literal blue moon. But of course, it's because of some environmental factors on earth and not really a univeral change.

And so to just try adding some significant effects over my knowledge about blue moon, I decided that it is gonna be my deadline as to when I should have a boyfriend. I started planning about this 2 years ago cause last July 30, 2015 was blue moon. And I was expecting to finally have a boyfriend during that time. But unfortunately, it's not yet the final deadline. I got frustrated that I lost track of waiting for the next blue moon. That's why I forgot that last month was a blue moon!!
Okaaay. I'll have to cut this long rant now. It'll be blue moon on January 31, 2018. And I'm not sure if that's gonna be the last deadline.

Trying

19

Yesterday was just because of self-pity. I was just trying to express in a not so vivid way. But I ended up consoling my own emotions. Nah-uh. Not really good. I am more than blessed than what I think I am so there should be no negative thoughts. 
Gotta be optimistic, life!

Life lately

20

Life has been a pretend.
Well, that's for me. For most part of it.
That began since the day my eyes began seeing what adults are also seeing.
And ever since my mouth has been talking it's own opinions about reality.
I don't really remember exactly when that started. But I both hated and liked it when it happened.
Right now, I'm hating it. 
I've been wearing a mask for so long now. And my own pretend is starting to confuse me. 
Just who really am I?
It feels like I understand myself but I still wanted to be understood.
I have been keeping to myself too much that it becomes too overwhelming already.

Happy Father's Day!

Dear Papa,

It's that date of this month where social media is flooded with the Happy Father's Day greetings. But Facebook is really not enough to tell to the world how much I am grateful to the Lord for you. And I know that the world won't care too much because you are not their father. But I do because I am really proud to have been your daughter!

Thank you for everything Papa. You have sacrificed so much for us and have been working so hard for us. I'm sorry that I have to wait for Father's day to come before I could even appreciate everything you have been doing.
I am still hoping and praying for that day to come when we will be complete as a family in doing God's work. Stay strong Papa, in health and in faith. Thank you for being like Jesus. I miss you Papa. I love you. Happy Father's Day!

Your daughter, with lots of love,
Jana :)

What Kind of Accountant Will I Be? Part 3/7

III

How can you be an accountant if you cannot imagine yourself being an accountant? It’s a question I once heard and it’s the same with, how can you be a butterfly if you cannot imagine yourself flying above the gardens and seeping through the nectar of flowers? Well of course, it’s really impossible to be a butterfly unless you are a caterpillar and you will also go through their metamorphosis of becoming one. If you can also go through the process of stepping inside a pupa, the cocoon then probably after 7 days, you’ll have wings and be an official butterfly! That’s just it. If I cannot imagine myself being an accountant, then let me go through the metamorphosis stage where there are hard work, sacrifices, and lots of studying to do before officially becoming one. All throughout the process, somewhere in between, I have imagined myself doing what an accountant should do.

Compared to doctors, engineers and lawyers, accountants are not usually working in public so people are not quite familiar to what they really are doing. Other people would even ask why the CPA Board Examination needs to be one of the difficult licensure examinations. “With great power comes great responsibility”, one good quotation says. And that is very much the same with being a Certified Public Accountant.

Accountancy profession involves a lot of public interest and confidence. One of the major tasks that accountants do is preparing financial statements of a company. These financial statements are not just mere reports but they have great significance for the company’s growth. Banks, investors, and employees are only few of the interested parties in a company’s financial statements but they are also the very reason why they are still existing and growing. If an accountant was not trained well do this kind of work, any misleading mistake can be a big impact to the business’ condition. Our world, in the generation today, is dominated by money. Without finances or without good financial management, any organization, in the long run, might eventually fail. Money is power in our present day generation. Accountants work with money. Hence, with great power comes great responsibility.

I will be an accountant who is responsible and diligent with the tasks given me.
