There is Heaven on Earth

     
   
       'We do not just live by what we eat, we live by God's words and teachings.' This verse in the bible reminds me of myself how should I live in this world, my body is not the only one should be fed, but my soul also. The bible is one of the literary works that wrote by a famous writer and that is God. In a more broader concept, understanding the meaning and purpose of literature in our lives will gives us the life, the lessons of life.

         In my 17 years of existence in this world I have never  felt being this worthless, the feeling of being alive but dead inside is the same finding myself in the state of oblivion. I wish I could do something more, I wish I could be brave, be confident and be happy in my life, because I feel like living hell not finding my happiness.  This doesn't stop me for finding the missing piece of my happiness, until I found myself reading books. Books, my go-to past time, my sweet tooth in pages, my great escapade from reality. Reading brought me back to life, this moment made me realize the importance of literature in our lives. Literature has a lot of things to offer, it could be a mere entertainment but most of the time I find it as an inspiration and motivation for me to be a better person. Every books is an eye-opener to the reality of life, the mirror, the reflection of human experiences. Through reading, my soul got fed of hope and wisdom. Reading made me feel there is heaven on earth.

Green is the new Rainbow

          “Nito huli ko lang napagtantong sa bawat dilig at kalinga’t pagmamahal na inialay naming sa kanila, kami pala ang siyang lubos na dinidilig at kinakalinga’t minamahal nila nuong una pa lang. At ganu’n nga ang gulayan naming --- isang metapora ng mutualismong ugnayan ng tao’t kalikasan.” A line from Christopher S. Rosales’ award-winning of Carlos Palanca Award in Kabataan Essay 2010 “Gulayan Klasrum.” Vegetables are one of our sources of energy, they are the healthiest choice of food we could eat. From this, we could say that they are the ones who show love and care for us human. Not only on what we eat, they also provide us fresh air to breath, nice place to stay under it. If they take care of us, we should also start of giving back on what they gave to us so that in return they could still provide it to us.
