Of Marriage And Pregnancy

It is a common thing nowadays to see pregnant women walking down the aisle not because they are the bride's maid, the maid of honor, the candle bearer or the veil sponsor BUT the bride. It is frustrating as well as depressing to see these kinds of wedding. It's not that I am really against the weddings. But I am against to teenagers marrying just because they are pregnant.

Now, I know that parents especially the fathers would want to save the dignity of her young once-sweet daughter. I perfectly understand that. But does the father understand that sometimes marriage is not the answer? Have they thought that there are still more to life than marriage? As parents, please do not force your child to marry the other. Let them decide for their own good. You alone know how difficult to sustain a marriage especially now that global recession is at its peak! So why would you make it a lot more difficult for your child as it is today? If you really love your children, let them decide, for Pete's sake, it's not your life. Do not dictate. They are old enough to know the consequences. They are old enough to know what is right and wrong. So, deciding for them is not the answer. Be there for them, guide them but do not make decisions for them. It's not your life in the first place.

Actually, almost every pregnant women I know have been married for the wrong reasons. What happened to love? Love is the only reason why a couple should get married and not because the girl is pregnant. What happened to you, people? Where have all your brains go?

To the teens out there who are pregnant, do not include your family in your problem. Do not let them solve it. Solve it by yourself. It was in your own doing that you end up that way. Contraceptives are there, why haven't you used it in times when you had made love to your guy? What happened to sex education? So, if I were you, let your family know but live with it on your own feet. A help is nice, but do not make it to a point that you're just sitting there and waiting for the next thing to happen. Act and be independent. It's your own fault anyway, so face it.

To those guys who made their girls pregnant, shame on you if you will walk away. No matter how far you will run, you still can not escape the fact that it is your child she's carrying. So, better not run and stand up for what you've done. Help her and be with her in each step of the way.

To all the lovers out there where the girl is pregnant, never and i mean NEVER ever abort the baby. It is not the baby's fault. It is yours. So do not blame the baby. Shame on you if you do. Babies are heaven sent. Let them live, for they deserve it. Do not be a murderer and a coward at the same time. That is the consequence of your actions. Live with it. If you are afraid of confessing to your parents, don't be. Parents would understand their children no matter how worse it can get. They will always be there. In fact, they would be more angry if they will know you killed their grand child, you know. Also, do not be persuaded to get married right then and there. THINK! You have brains, use them once in a while. Do not think that just because you have a baby means you need to get married. Marriage is not the answer, my friends. Think of it this way: if you're going to get married, can you handle the finances of having your own home? Are you really ready to face life as a couple? If you're going to get married, are you sure that you can stick to each other all your life? Are you matured enough to face that kind of life? It's a war out there. Are you ready for the battle? Think and re-assess a million times and PLEASE do not marry for the wrong reasons. You may be thankful in the end if you do.

must love the sun!

Let's face it. Majority of the Filipinas are afraid of the sun, always wishing and hoping that someday they would be as white as the Caucasians. Therefore, they would at most times avoid the heat of the sun.

Little did they know that hiding from the glorious sun would yes, make them whiter BUT would also do them harm. Studies have shown that women who lack sun exposure may suffer from vitamin D deficiency which would in time lead to serious illnesses. Such vitamin D deficiency can cause rickets to children and can also be the cause of osteoporosis to adults. Studies have also shown that with the lack of vitamin D, it can also expose you to higher risks of cancer, diabetes and multiple sclerosis. In addition to this, it can also heighten your level of untimely death.

So, to people who are afraid of the scorching heat of the sun, take lots of vitamin D supplement, or better yet expose yourself for once in a while to mr. sun so as to gain the right vitamin D your body needs.

roots don't die down easily

An English instructor told me once that writing feeds the catharsis. It lets out emotions you've kept locked tight in the deepest depth of your soul.

I have never really thought I could be a writer like I am today. I know I'm still not that good. Grammars are still to be checked, a bit of punctuation marks to be corrected. But, hey! Practice can make me better, right?

I have been writing since the late years of elementary and finally got discovered when I was in High School. It was not until the coordinators of our school paper invited me for a writing workshop that I discovered I have this talent - writing. It never donned on me. But through my friend's help, who by the way sent my article to the coordinator, got me to where I am today. Gee, Thanks! :)

With that, I have joined city-wide inter school contests and have realized I have the potential to be a writer someday. A dream I never really worked on. I planned to take up journalism before but Accountancy ruled over me. I gave up my talent and went to proceed Accountancy which in fact kicked me out. Lol! Well, for the record, it really did not. But, I like to think of it that way, though.

I then proceeded to my second choice, still turning down journalism. I went for Information Management. At first, I thought of it as a joke. Me? I'm going to waste my time with this low level course? God, I'm kidding myself. Believe me, that was my first thinking. But what the heck, I've enrolled myself. With that, I took my studies for granted. I skip classes a whole LOT. To make matters worse, I skip classes on my very first major subjects up until the third. As I can remember, I think I just appeared to the class if a quiz is going to take place or an exam. But I'm sure most of the discussions you can't find me in the room or if you do, I'm playing PC games on my station. Luckily, though I enjoyed skipping classes, I passed all of my majors at the exact time. No failing marks for the majors except for the three minors (Math 14, Math 16 and Religious Studies) which they failed me due to excessive number of absences. Kudos to me!

It was not until I took up my programming subjects that got me interested. I learned to go to school again! Weepee! But, to no avail, I go to school for my programming subjects alone. For the rest of my subjects, my friends need to force me to attend it or I would force myself to attend it. I was one lazy gal before. I concentrated on programming alone. To make it worse, the money I have for my books, I saved it for myself and didn't buy the books i need. I only bought the books that my teachers would require us to have, and for the rest, nadah!

For the four short years I have in college, I forgot the talent I have in me. I forgot what it feels like to write. I forgot to feed the catharsis. I totally forgot who I was back then. The writer who writes her heart out; the pain, the love, the happiness, the sadness. I turned my back on them. I hardly write when I entered college. Perhaps my Mimai was right. Perhaps I let myself soared so high, forgetting the writer I have in me. Or perhaps those were the times where no one appreciates what I do anymore. Egotistic me!

It was not until someone did took the time to read my works that gave me hope to write again. Yet, to no avail, I still wrote without putting my heart in it. I don't know how to communicate to my readers anymore. I don't know how to hit the right target, begin the right beginning, end the right end or worse, organize my thoughts. I have turned my back on writing and so did writing turn it's back on me.

Recently, I came face to face with myself again and weighed everything. I came to realize that it is indeed in writing that I can always set myself free. It's in writing that I have found my heart is at home. I am now a young professional proving my best on the IT field. Yet, my heart is still in writing per se. Now, I can say I have found myself again. The girl who writes her heart out. Though I haven't still equipped myself with the right rules I gained myself back then. However, I know, I just know that sometime from now, I'll gain back the momentum I have before.

the five people you meet in heaven

I have read about this book and I really love the story. Mitch Albom really stirred and comforted the readers. Nice. Very nice. For those of you who haven't read this one yet or for those who have read yet missed a point, I'll leave you with some of the lessons I've learned in this book.

• all endings are also beginnings.
• no stories sits by itself. sometimes stories meet at corners and sometimes they cover one another completely, like stones beneath a river.
• when your time came, it came, and that was that. You might say something smart on your way out, but you might just as easily say something stupid.
• the running boy is inside every man, no matter how old he gets.
• people often belittle the place where they were born. but heaven can be found in the most unlikely corners. and heaven itself has many steps.
• people think of heaven as a paradise garden, a place where they can float on clouds and laze in rivers and mountains. but scenery without solace is meaningless.
• the greatest gift from god is to let you understand what happened in your life and have it explained.
• when you are an outcast, even a tossed stone can be cherished
• fathers can ruin their sons
• fairness does not govern life and death. if it did, no good person would ever die young
• strangers are just family you have yet to come to know
• no life is a waste. the only time we waste is the time we spend thinking we are alone
• war could bond men like magnet, but like a magnet it could repel them, too.
• dying? not the end of everything. we think it is. but what happens on earth is only the beginning.
• he wakes up the next morning and he has a fresh new world to work with, butu he has something else, too. he has his yesterday.
• heaven is when you get to make sense of your yesterdays
• sacrifice is a part of life. it's supposed to be. it's not something to regret. it's something to aspire to.
• sometimes when you sacrifice something precious, you're not really losing it. you're just passing it to someone else.
• our eyes are different. what you see ain't what i see
• all parents damage their children. it cannot be helped. youth, like pristine glass, absorbs the prints of its handlers. some parents smudge, others crack, a few shatter childhoods completely into jagged little pieces, beyond repair.
• sons will adore their fathers through even the worst behavior. it is how they learn devotion. before he can devote himself to god or a woman, a boy will devote himself to his father, even foolishly, even beyond explanation.
• you have peace when you make it with yourself
• parents rarely let go of their children, so children let go of them. they move on. they move away. the moments that used to define them - a mother's approval, a father's nod - are covered by moments of their own accomplishments. it is until much later, as the skin sags and the heart weakens, that children understand; their stories, and all their accomplishments, sit atop the stories of their mothers and fathers, stones upon stones, beneath the waters of their lives.
• better to be loyal to one another
• silence is rarely a refuge
• holding anger is a poison. it eats you from inside. we think that hating is a weapon that attacks the person who harmed us. but hatred is a curved blade. and the harm we do, we do to ourselves.
• no one is born with anger
• people say the "find" love, as if it were an object hidden by a rock. but love takes many forms, and it is never the same for any man and woman. what people find then is a certain love
• love, like rain, can nourish from above, drenching couples with a soaking joy. but sometimes, under the angry heat of lie, love dries on the surface and must nourish from below, tending its roots, keeping itself alive.
• lost love is still love
• life has to end. love doesn't
• silence is worse when you know it won't be broken
• it is never hard to act ordinary if you feel ordinary
• each affects the other and the other affects the next, and the world is full of stories, but the stories are all one

I hope you've read those that i have listed. They were all from the book. If you have time, read the book and enjoy!
