A lot of questions has been circling in my mind just like a typical graduating student, trying to figure out what my life will become after this long schooling journey, but first let's be thankful cause this moment has come, we are already living in the "tomorrow" we are looking forward to happen before. Breathe cause at last, we are about to make another milestone in our lives. On your graduation day, just let go of all your worries even just for a while, live for that moment cause it will happen just as fast as blink of an eye, and when you blink close your eyes, don't open it first, no cheating! for you are about to imprint that feeling, and that memory in your heart, and make sure to always look back, and linger on that feeling whenever you feel ...

And when you speak, speak truthfully.  When you love, love faithfully. When you trip, get up gracefully. When you kiss, kiss passionately. When you live, make sure you live your life fully.  Master the language of love, truth and acceptance.  Master how to speak it impeccably . Master how to speak it fluently.  And when you already mastered it, that's when the magic will happen.  Happy V day everyone!  xoxo  - ofelijahnicolle  Photosource:  https://www.pinterest.ph/pin/2814818508537641/

The versatile one.  The idea they had of me, who was she? Little did they know the real me.  Yes, being praised by many gives me such a feeling sometimes, but that doesn't mean that everyone is just barely giving me praises.  Behind those praises there hides some envy.  Behind those praises there hides some judgements.  Behind those praises there hides some insecurity.  Behind those envy there hides some curses.  No matter how many friends I have , no matter how many times my family tells me that I am loved, no matter how many people admire me, I still have nothing. I still know nothing. I still don't exist. Nobody's knows that I am drowning, and when I am drowning that's the moment where I could only breathe.  Nobody hear me. They say I'm a gre...

photo source:  https://pin.it/6GXzTaq When you find yourself so overwhelmed about everything around you, stop and breathe for while. It's ok to pause, and disappear for a moment in order for you to compose yourself again. You don't need to be hard on yourself because can't you see? the world is already being hard on you, why make yourself suffer more?Don't be so indifferent with your life.  Free yourself from the chaos of the world, and seek for your peace, because you know sometimes peacefulness will not always come from other people, it always come within us. True happiness will not always come from other people because our own happiness will always depends on how happy we want us to be. Everything will always be our choice. Everything will always depend on our decision. We cannot force something that doesn't works for us, so if you find yourself so overwhelmed by everything around you slow down, and temporarily distance yourself from others. When you find yourse...

Photosource:https://pin.it/4IgHTCB The irony of these "people" who brings life into this world, and the same people making other people live their lives miserable. The irony of these who "people" who lets other people feel so love, and the same people making other people feel so devastated, blaming it is because of "love".  The irony of these "people" having their own mistakes, insecurities, and imperfections, and the same people who judges, curse, and hate other people so much because of other people's mistakes, insecurities, and imperfections. The irony of these "people" who can't accept failure and defeat, and the same people discouraging and failing other people.  The irony of these "people" who hates being cheated, and the same people who cheats with other people.  The irony of these "people" who can be proud by themselves and can confidently brag about their achievements,  and the same peopl...

Photo source: https://pin.it/1GncP4r Some of the people only like the chase.  Some are just fond of being in between things.  Some people loves to stay only in their comfort zone.  Some loves to deny everything because they need to protect ego.  Some people talk more, but truth is they are just like an empty can.  Some fakes everything just to attract.  Some people play strong just to cover up.  Some just likes to ignore in order for them to be faultless. Some people are deaf because they only believe in their selves. Some are blind because they are deceived by sweet lies. Some people hide because they don’t want to be judge. Some says love is painful but the truth is it’s the people who made it painful. Some obeys everything good or bad, because of the rules that can take away their lives. Some are toxic because they can’t find themselves a cure. Some people are hard because of their past. Some people are mean but truth is they’re wea...

  An open letter to all the "Mommy" "mom" "mame" "inay" "nay" "mama" "mamhshi" "mother earth" "mudrakels" out there and of course to my mother, my grandmas, single mothers and to all kinds of mommas all over the world!  Dear mom, mame, mommy, nay, inay, mama, I know being a mother is more than just bearing a child, it is a 24/7 responsibility  and a promise of a lifetime.   I know sometimes there comes a point that you just want to give up, because you super stressed about too many problems, and you feel that you cannot handle things in control anymore, but you always choose to stand up, and fight for your family.  You've always been a resilient one.  Despite of the times of trials, you always choose to be brave, and handle a fake smile to carry on for your children. We may rarely hear you complain about everything, but I know you were all tired physically, mentally and emotionally...

photosource:pinterest  In life you will encounter a lot of people who will test your patience, until they prove everyone that you're wrong.  I don't know why, but i am telling you... if you encounter one of those kind of people, never ever tolerate them. Coz' the more you react, the more they will trigger you. Their goal is to piss you off, until you get so furious and frustrated. Everybody knows what can happen when a certain person is super mad... They tend to do and say things too much, that is out of their minds.  And when you reach that boiling point, they will be so satisfied, because they think they won, but they actually don't.  If you tolerate them you'll just experience loop of your own emotions, that is so useless. You'll just look like a loser, even if you're not.  So what you need to do,  is to ignore, and don't give them a damn. But did you noticed, when you ignore them, they tend to become more aggressive?? It is because they a...

Photosource:https://pin.it/7oRy0Az In today’s generation, internet has became our “go to” whenever we want to discover “something” from the past. Of course who would not dare to run to different social media platform when everything is just one click away… But did you know, where this information provided by us with the internet came from?  It’s from primary sources, and it has been passed from generations through generations, that is why we still have it today.    Let’s take a look back in the past, for sure “google” has the answer right away, but I know one source that can really feed our thirsty thoughts about the past! Yup, I knew one! and they witnessed, and experienced it first hand.  Do you want to know who?   Look for your grandma, or grandpa and ask them about their past life experiences, you would be amazed as they start talking, and start to reminisce things from their past. You’ll be flabbergasted  by their endless stories, tha...

Photosource: Pinterest Girl.  Woman. How do you describe a girl? How do you describe a woman? They say ah, "She's just a girl."  "Just a woman." "They have so many soft features, they are weak."   Oh really? You know what? You are a girl more than what you and they think. You are a woman,more than having soft features, and being weak. BLAH BLAH. I'm not being obsessed with feminism here but feminism doesn't always make the women strong, it is about tapping everyone to change their way of perceiving the world. Because as you notice? Before, women are being treated so unfair. They can't rule because they are weak. They can't lead, and the only thing they can do is to serve. Serve their husband, serve their children, and be every men's source of entertainment.  So as a woman I question myself, why is it  like that? Is it because men are more masculine than women, so does that mean they are much more stronger?  Maybe in appe...

Photosource: Google Most of us are struggling to show up, in this society full of pretentious and judgemental people.  There has been a large wall between the lives of straight people and the LGBTQ people. There has always been an issue that men are more productive and more powerful than women.  There has been a discrimination in skin color, because they believed that having a fair skin is way much prettier than those other skin types. There has been a real discrimination between the social status in the society, even in jobs!  There has always been an ISSUE for EVERYTHING around.  I don't know but it is the the way of thinking of people, who's being toxicated by the society. They tend to believe in what is believed by many.  Some are just easily manipulated by those trends, that they begin stereotyping.  Like hey? Can we just accept one another? And let other people live their lives with freedom and away from judgements?  If you're a gay,...

photosource:Pinterest Valentines, sometimes mispronounced as "Valentimes".   Surprises here, dating there, couple's everywhere .  It's the time to brag how romantic you are when it comes to relationships.  "What did you plan for your partner? How will you surprise her?" "Did you prepare boquet of flowers? chocolates?" It's so heart warming to receive like those kinds of gifts, or surprises for someone you love. The efforts and the "I love you's", will make you fall in love with your partner more . It will make you feel really so special for a day. It's just so so full of love during the Valentine's day.   But Valentine's Day nowadays is seemed to be misleaded by people .   The society seemed to set standards on how Valentine's day should  be celebrated. So it tends to pressure those who can't afford extravagant surprises for their partners.  It tends to pressure every relationships to become flashy...

Photosource:Pinterest You know it may took you a while to finally heal....  Uh? Whether from a past relationship? or from losing someone you love?  Moving on ... It's really difficult, and it's a super long process, but it is one astonishing achievement when you passed through it.  You know, you'll encounter so many cold sleepless nights. You'll often cry to sleep. You'll often breakdown everywhere because it seems that everything reminds you of that someone you've  lost. You've just lost your whole self, because that someone keeps on hanging in there and consuming all of your system. It sucks. It really suuucks. It's just so unfair that while you're there still suffering, that someone is out there living his life like there's nothing happened. And the most difficult part is you tend to pretend that you're okay, because you don't want to bother your family, friends, or other people, of what you are struggling. So you keep it a...

Photosource:Pinterest  "I wonder what will happen to me in the future" "Will I reach my goals?"  "Will I be hired and get a stable life I've always wanted?" "Will things goes well as how I planned it?" Those are just some of the questions I ask myself these days. My mind always wander about the mystery of my future.  I'm always curious about it. At this age, I also have so many insecurities just like a typical teen. We can't just help but to compare ourselves sometimes into other people who has the same age with us, and living their lives with such great achievements. It's like we are being left behind because at this moment of life, we still have nothing to be proud of, we still have nothing to brag about. We still haven't been successful in our own lives.  During our 20's I know most of us will experience this kind of pressure, or should I say it is really true to all. It is the age of worrying a lot about ou...

Photosource:Pinterest  In order to love and accept who you are, you must not hate nor regret experiences that shaped you. For I know those experiences really pushed you to your limits, and challenged you a big time as a human being, but remember that this things are essential in order for you to grow. No matter how bad it is, no matter how much it hurt you, no matter how devastating it was, its part of our life, it is part of growing up and if you learn to learn from those things you will just notice how eager you are to improve and to make changes within yourself physically, psychologically, or emotionally.    The power of acceptance is true, and if you learn the language of it surely you will master self love.  Today, those two words is what we lack among ourselves. "Self love" because nowadays we tend to give more of ourselves to others. We tend to rely into others. We tend to always want to satisfy their needs, their expectations towards us, a...
