perplexed.

I am deeply bothered. People admire me for my unconventional way of thinking, for my heart that yearns to serve, for my dream of alleviating the problems and society. And yet, the ones who frown upon me for doing so, are the people who matters to me the most.

deeply saddened.

EVERYONE should at least have the capacity to pay for their basic needs. Education is a right not a privilege.

down to 200.

I shall remain strong.

counting coins... 785.

WITH so many things happening right now,
I would surely wilt if I began to cry.

welcome 2013!

INVICTUS
William Ernest Henley

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

goodbye 2012.

THIS years has been very difficult. In the 22 years of my existence, this has got to be my rock bottom. A lot of things have happened that made me realize the realities of life. Nevertheless, the most valuable lesson I learned this year is to never ever let yourself be vulnerable.

Goodbye 2012. I hope I never have to go through you again.
