What life's brings lesson to us!
By: Lourdes D. Bibe
There was a time that you feel that the whole world is against to you. A series of your life that you want to end up and replace it with a beautiful morning, peaceful afternoon and fantastic evening! What you really want to hope is that the sorrowful and pain of yesterday may not happen again or for coming tomorrow and today. Instead, became the most wonderful moment always. But that hope will never be grant, that’s why we have to open our mind and ready our self to the reality of life.
I am Sophie. For me life is fabulous. We are rich. I have almost everything I want. I have my own room. It is painted pink for its my favorite color. Mama bought me a huge bed and cotton pillow. I have a lots of stuffed toys collections occupied the large portion on the floor. My cabinet is full of beautiful dresses. My shoes are of great variety and brand, with different colors. I have my own yaya that do everything I want and cooked everything I want to eat. My father always gives me my allowance that is too much for my needs. This is how my life goes. I feel that I am the most fortunate daughter in the world. I felt I’m like a princess.
But suddenly, all this have changed. When Mama got pregnant Papa always took care of her. The sympathy they always give with me loses. They are too busy preparing the giving birth of Mama. They never noticed that as timed goes, I felt jealous and lonely being abandoned by there love and care. Only my yaya is the one who always there to comfort me.
When Mama gave birth, they abandoned their room and moved to my little sister room. I always hear Mama sing a lullaby for my little sister. I don’t have anything to do, but to cry. I wonder if Mama ever sing me a lullaby too when I’m six years old. Only my yaya are there to comfort me when I’m crying at my room. And encourage me to stop crying and explaining why this things all happen.
When my little sister grew up, she gets everything she wants. Mama and Papa always buy them a new dress and shoes. While all this things happen I felt that Mama and Papa abandoned and forget me. But despite of all the sorrowful I felt, I never keep hatred to my parent. Instead, I do my best to show them that I’m worthy for there love and for them to became proud at me.
I graduated with honors. Mama and Papa did’nt celebrate the award that I have. Instead, they give all there attention preparing the 18Th birthday of my little sister. That’s the time I became a bad daughter. I always came home late, sometimes I’m drunk. That’s the time when Mama and Papa gave me there attention. Mama always shouted me. One time when Papa saw me drinking beverage and hitting drugs, he slapped me. But instead I felt mad at him, I felt happy, because finally they saw me. But after that incident, I cried all night in my room. Asking my self what happen to my life.
One month after the incident, I find job. I met Miguel, my office mate, who’s very nice and sweet to me. He always visited me in my house. After a month a go, I became his girlfriend. After two years of knowing each other, we decided to got married. Now we have a two cute siblings. Mama and Papa never regret to visit my siblings. My little sister became close and sweet to me. She also met the man of her life. My yaya, finally saw the right man for her. But she never forget to contact me every time she is free.

A part of me




one night in my room
staring at the moon so blue
as the wind blows so cold
makes my heart feels sorrowful




as I stsnd to the corner
a shadow began to show
curious to know
the owner of that shadow


standing straight
looks staring at me
makes my heart beats past
still pretending I am not afraid


the shadow that still standing straight
walks slowly coming near to me
that makes my heart beat fast once more
and dont know what to do


as the time goes by
and show the appearance
of the owner of that shadow
my eyes start to cry


my heart still beat fast
and the sorrowful I feel last
my feet began to walk
coming to the owner of the shadow


as I fully seen the appearance
of the person now standing near to me
my arms start to move
and hug my childhood friend so tight....
