A SILENT and NON-MOVING PET

            What is the difference between me and my little baby Lyle? Baby Lyle has a cottony soft yellow skin while I have a skin of an ordinary individual. He doesn’t talk dissimilar to my mouth that is similar to a shotgun. He doesn’t move unlike me, I walk, step, hop, run, dance and any move that I wanted to. He has a stuffed toy structure while I have a human structure similar to a normal being. Simply, he is just a normal and non-moving stuffed toy, in contrast, I breathe that gives me life.

            What is in common between me and Baby Lyle? We are both loyal. We do not stick at anyone but just stick to one. He is always stay calm and do not panic. I also have that characteristic. I focus on what should I do, not on the situation that is happening. Well last similarity is that he is so cute just like his boss.

A SILENT and NON-MOVING PET

            Living in this world without someone special or a friend is like lying in a dark and narrow coffin. It is better to die than having a breath without someone to talk to, to play with and to share feelings or problems. It is not a problem for being unfriendly to people, not confident with other people there is a pet that can be loyal and true friend. It is probably 100% sure that it will not be a traitor nor causes tears to fall unless that pet will disappear. It will love its boss as much as the boss loves his/her pet too.

            It is my 7^th birthday when my father gave me present. When I opened it, it had a cute, yellow and soft skin structure. That stuff is my first and only pet. Baby Lyle was the name that I gave to him which is related to my best friend in province. I gave him the care that he deserves as he gave it also to me. I always make sure that he is clean and has a good and pleasant odour. He is so kind, silent and not hard headed. He doesn’t even disturb me when I am doing something. He is just quite near and just watching me.

            As my clock alarmed, my eyes would open seeing my dearest pet besides my pillow staring at me.” Come here little buddy,” I said but no respond. “Come here baby Lyle,” calling his name but nothing happened. So I decided to take him with my hand. Looking at his non moving eyes, kissing his invisible nose, lifting and throwing him into the air is our favourite and only bonding time together.

            “Catch this little fella,” I throw something and assuming that he is running to catch that thing like what an ordinary dog is doing but he disappointed me. He’s still at my side doing nothing and just staring at me. I kept on asking myself, “What animal is this?” he doesn’t sound like a dog because he is not barking nor even a cat with the  “meow, meow,” or a bird with the “tweet, tweet.” He had no sound and a voice neither because he is just a silent and non-moving stuffed toy that for me is a pet and a good friend for me.scvganzon@gmail.com

A PARADISE LIKE

A Paradise Like

                I grew up to a smelly fishlike barangay in Tacloban, Leyte. Even my life now is touched and is built inside the urbanized, civilized, and noisy town; I do still remember the place where I formed. There is a place that I always go to every time we visit our hometown. It makes my heart burst and makes my face gloomy when I hear the noise that is created by vehicles in the roads, vendors in the streets and smell the populated air. I will just realize that I am already backing in Metro Manila.

                I am far more distant but I could already smell the fresh water and hear the waves from that wide and eternal ocean. I could feel the touch of the spiritually and fairly air made by trees as I walk on my path.  I always go to the very end of the long, wooden and zigzag dock. There, I feel comfortable and safe from sun and rain because there is something that shades me. I find myself standing there and spend my free time remembering memories. My lips will slightly be straightened when a happy memory comes to my mind and sometimes bad memories also arrive that definitely makes my tears fall. From that position, I am surely close to the sea because of the fresh and salty air from that large body of water that embraces and dancing with me. My face could feel the very strong wind that could make my hair lost. I could sense the smoke from a very far corner that makes my stomach feel hunger. It goes straight to my nose that always caught my attention to go there.  I could whiff lots of barbeque store that is queued. It satisfies my taste because of a delicious and affordable food.

                Staying to a peace and peerless place is a simple thing that I could do to bring out my feelings. It is hard to escape from the place that will give you sympathy and feel you calm, never leaves you and will wait for you no matter how far you are and how long would it take.

INCOMPLETE PUZZLE

Incomplete Puzzle

Christmas tree, Christmas lights, and Christmas gifts are some of those things that make us remember of season. It never ends. If we believe on it, we will feel the happiness, contentment and love. Those are the only reason why this time of year exists. It is the birth of our beloved Christ and He saved us because of the big and hot fire from His heart. So let this huge flame be in our soul always.

            There is just one thing I am hoping for every time Christmas is coming, and that is a complete family. I could not yet say that Christmas for me is merry. There is no glint in my stars and all of the angels from heaven are blubbering. All the trees are yellow and all that I see is gray. I can’t see the light, there is one piece of my puzzle is missing. Oh mother, where are you?   I could not sense her during Noche Buena. No gifts from her that touches my hand, no hug from her and no kiss from her lips and will say, “Merry Christmas my lovely daughter, I love you.”

            In the year 2012, I saw a lady that is so familiar to my heart. She is the most important lady of my life, my one and only mother. Christmas 2012 is the most memorable Christmas for an abandoned child like me. At last I celebrated the season with her. I don’t care about the present as long as my protector is at my side.

            I and my mother both went to market to buy some ingredients for food that will be put in our table for Noche Buena. We merrily went to mall to shop some decorations like Christmas lights; balls and also dresses for us. We also went to beauty salon and spa to have some relaxed time. The scissors cut our hair, the cream massaged our face and lastly the foot spa tickled our feet. That is really a memorable bonding for me with my mother. We hardly decorated our house and cooked the food that had magic by our hands. My mother, brother and sister prepared ourselves for the coming of the son of God and had a countdown when the time is already near and altogether shouted “Merry Christmas.” That is very memorable and unforgettable season of mine. But wait my puzzle is still not completed. My father is not in his chair. I need him. When is the day that I will celebrate Christmas with my mother and father and not each of them?

            Once a child completed the puzzle that he/she is solving, that child has nothing to do but to be happy. So as a child with an incomplete family, that kid will keep on finding the lost one either his/her mother or father. No happiness that can be equalize to the happiness that they will feel if their family will be complete.  A complete family is a complete personality.scvganzon@gmail.com

Two Golden Arches

           

When my eyes sight of the golden arches in front of McDonalds it makes me feels twinge of starvation and imagine of their hamburgers and fries. The smell of their delicious foods catches my nose and makes my feet elevate from the ground and fly to that place for hunger.

           

As my body enters from their glass door, my hairs from the skin raise up as if they want to jump and run outside because of the coldness from their air-condition. As the door opens, it always has a soldier like that is securing the place and always saying a greetings like good morning. Standing from that portion, I sense the different smell of the delicious food from their cooking area; the juiciness and crispiness of chicken, the tasty sauce of spaghetti, the yummy French fries, the sweetness and creaminess of their ice cream and so much more. Going to the line to order, here comes the service crew that will assist you for your order so that the service will be faster. When you are in front of the cashier, you will not be tense to order because of the politeness and cheerfulness they will give to you. Their angel like face and their sweet smile will make you calm and the words that are coming out from their mouth will make you chill. After a minute, your order is already in your table. Then, at last the band that is making noise from your stomach will become a choir from a peaceful and mild church. You will not wait not like other restaurant; you will die from hunger before your order is in front of you. I usually order a hamburger, large fries, chicken fillet and the dessert that will always in my table the McFlurry Cadbury ice cream. It is so delectable, scrumptious; luscious that makes me feel like in a paradise. Their food is not just delicious but also a fresh food. Even they have always lots of customers; they always have a time for each of their consumers. Before you have a meal, they will make sure that your table is as clean as it is and they will ask if they still have something to do. After eating my meal, I would like to order again but my stomach is shouting no, stop, stop. So I would eagerly stand and be thankful for foods that save you from hunger. Before you go outside from that place for hunger, there again the security guard will give you a smile and politely will say “Come again, ma’am.”

           

It is so fastidious to go out from a place without regret, instead you feel contented and blissful as you are. scvganzon@gmail.com

An Unfair Life of an Ant

An Unfair Life of an Ant

            Nowadays, when you listen to the news from television, industrial action, strike or rally is always present. Also, when you turn on your radio and read a newspaper, the same issue that is the main subject. People always got mad when they feel that government or the world itself is being unfair to them, which sometimes turn on blaming God Himself. Basically the truth is they are the one who is making of their own lives. They just look for someone that they can pass on of their problems. People do not think that they are also unfair to some creatures here in the world like ants. Humans definitely don’t think of that thing because they really don’t care. Ants are only biter for people. It seem that it is just an annoyance that bug you. So what they do, they will catch the ants and simply beat it and roll it between the fingers. How unfair it is for a helpless ant?

            Scientifically, an ant is social insects of the family formicidae along with the related wasps and bees, belong to the order Hymenoptera. They are easily identified by their elbowed antennae and a distinctive node-like structure that forms a slender waist(www.wikipedia.com).  But an ant is not just an insect, they serve as an inspiration to human society. For me, ants can be symbolized as a triumph of a great struggle, wisdom and fate. For every struggle that they face, they have wisdom to have a good fate. Ants are called social insects because of large colonies. These large number of their population is not a hindrance for their society instead they can be identified as “the virtuous insect” and attribute organization, good value, and loyalty to it. No matter how much difficult the problem they are facing they are still going on their path. Unlike humans, when population increases, social problems increase. For ants, every life is very important for their survival. They experience good fate because of being industrious and they have unity as a group for their society benefit. In ants colony they have their queen who is very important to their community whereas to people, they have their president. Male and female workers form colonies has a definite character to play for the survival of the group as a whole.

            On a one side of the corner of a house, there you can see black, brownish nor reddish colour of thin moving line. As you look closer to it, you can see preferably they are carrying of a tiny piece of food. You look for its end and you recognize yourself that you are slowly killing those tiny creatures. You realize that your fingers ruthlessly pressing them until their simple life stop.

            Simple life leads to a peaceful life. Life would not be unfair if we all know how to love and care of all the people who surrounds us. Simply, nothing in life is to be foolish, it is only to be understood.
