Well, yes. YOU are a freshman again, but HELLO?! This is college now! :D No more kiddie games and less teenage stuff. Well, you can still use your old bag if it still looks cool, adopt a better hairstyle and a new style of clothing, and change your un-cool points-of-view. Think of it as if you are on the lobby of an establishment and waiting for the call that will be the signal for you to go to the employer's office to see if you will pass. So, before that, do everything to make yourself a better person. Things may vary, so put yourself together until you retire when you get too old for the job. Do not breakdown! ;D

You are on the end of the highway, so just slow down before it's too late to stop for someone who is crossing the street. D: It's never a good idea to laze on the corner when you have reached the end of the highway just to avoid responsibilities. Oh yes, you can make a U-turn, but you'll never be progressive UNLESS you turned to pick something you forgot that can help you in your travel. Remember one thing when you are on a 6-meter wide road; NEVER run faster than 40 KPH. ;/
Never rush, or you will have to U-turn again to pick up the things you passed-by. That's pussy. You can rush when you're passing a highway 'cause there are less details. But on a road, NO. You'll miss something really good. :)

New lessons, new course. Anything may come. Love, hate, disaster, sunrise, new people, and new possessions that some people may get envious of you. Success and failure are siblings. Maybe you can tear them apart, but that won't last forever. Maybe just for a week. Success makes you feel confident like you have won money from something, or anything that makes you feel at ease. (^_^) But without failing one or many times, you'll never know what will you need to cover-up, patch-up, repair, change, loosen or eradicate. Whatever may come, just be wise if you know and you are sure that you are right. If not, well, better back-off a bit and get something to fix or change that certain mistake or insufficiency. ;/

Well, for a while let's get side tracked because the idea might fly off my head again. When it comes to love, I wasn't taught to love seriously, but I am naturally. :3 So, I thought that when you give your first holding hands, first intertwined hug, and first kiss, you should really bring it all to the altar and to the end of your "walk". Those things are very important to me. But sadly, three ladies --- well, "wasted" them perfectly. LOL :D Yes, yes, yes. I'm always serious when it comes to love. (^_^) Maybe, they just don't understand my strict views about conservatism. I always have wondered how much destruction most chic flicks have brought to the kid's and teenagers' heads. A true love story has a kind of love that endures even when the couple fight everyday. I'm not saying that we were fighting most of the time. :) Yet, a modern true love story has laughter, supportive (not devastating nor toxic) friends, weird tasting foods, weird but sweet photographs, recordings (either audio or video), text messages, notes, and talks. A true love story has its pains, fights, misunderstandings, jealousy, adversaries, shortcomings, losses, sacrifices, tears... And preserve your purity, for Christ's sake! ;)

Writing a book that talks about life is and was never easy. You have to remember EVERY part. The videos, audios, photographs, and info in your memory is like someone who is visiting his / her old home with the furniture and things untouched, unmoved, and covered with dust and cobwebs. You have to look and touch everything even if something can cut you just to make you remember an important lesson. :3

Text messages, call summaries, social media past posts, and old notes may be a jewel for some. The letters, numbers, times, and dates are absolutely silver. The lessons and the maturity gained are the gold. For now, all I can say is that people who used to be yours shouldn't be taken for granted, 'cause someone or a situation may bring you back together. In life, there is a system of lose and gain. You can't always gain nor lose. There will be a time that something you want will be yours and something you have will have to say goodbye, to you... Only good memories will last and stay the same. ;(

The Memory under the Tree
Non-FictionThe sun was setting when these words were written on a record book. I put down everything that I can remember from 1995 until now. It's all about the views of some famous people and some of the good people along with the corrections I have received...
