Life is not fair. Someone is on the top while others are fighting for appellation and I'm one of them. Fighting to be satisfied and to claim titles. They say that I have the beauty and brain, and they even said that I'm intimidating to be with
They thought I'm perfect, how I wish I am.
I don't have friends to share my thoughts with. They dislike the idea of being with me because they feel competition, that I don't see at all. Besides I don't need friends, as If I like to be with someone who'll just use you and will talk behind your back.
Friends can be your downfall, so never take them for granted, because they might be your enemies as time goes by
"Gomez Celestine is our second place, Congratulations Ferrer Timothy Eisen our first place in English Quiz bee"
Suddenly I feel dejected, I knew this will happen. Simula ng dumating ito palagi na itong nanalo saakin, even without a single effort. Kahit hindi ata ito magreview mananalo parin, habang ako kinakailangan para lang makuha ang pwestong gusto
When the judge gave the medal and certificate to Eisen I just keep my pose and my emotion blank. Natalo nako alangan ipahalata kong disappointed ako sa sarili. That's what I hate, when people give sympathy to me. I don't need pity I need motivation and support.
The awarding is done but I don't know where to go. Ayoko pa sana umuwi dahil panigurado sermon ang maririnig ko galing kay Mom, pero kailangan. I need to review for tomorrow's Debate, In the end, I choose to go home, wala din naman akong mapupuntahan
"Your dad will be disappointed again" I stopped when I heard those words from my mother, she said those words disappointedly while drinking her tea. I just keep my head down and continue hearing what she's about say
Sometimes I ask myself if this is who I wanted to be or is this what my parents wants me to be. Obviously, it's them who want this not me. I'm fulfilling expectations and pleasing others. I'm living an exorbitant life and it sucks.
"Go to your room and review for tomorrow's debate. Make sure na makakapasok ka sa finals." She said kasabay narin ang paghagis ng isang libro na sa palagay ko ay patungkol sa debate. I just nodded and without saying words, I went to my room.
Pagkarating sa silid agad akong nagpalit at tinitigan ang hawak na libro. She don't trust me on making it on finals, isn't she? Bakit kailangan pa nyang kuhain ang coverage ng gaganaping debate? I know she have connections pero para naring pinamukha sakin na hindi ko kakayain makapasok without puling some strings? I sighed, I chose not to mind her words and focus on reading
Equality is the quality or state of having the same rights, treatment, social status, meaning we need to be equally fair but it's absurd to suggest that there is equality
Such as In treatment, How can we apply equality there if it is in nature of every people to easily give judgment. People easily give accusations and unpleasant treatment base on what you wear, what your gender, if you're poor or rich and just by seeing small details of it, people are hypocrites so what's the sense of equality if we can't even apply it first on ourselves.
We believe in what is right but we also do what is wrong.
I sighed. tomorrow will surely be another long day, I hope this time I'll pass the finals so I won't hear any words from Mom
"Celestine kain na" my sister said while knocking at my doors room
It's dinner time I don't know how to face them lalo na si Dad, for sure he will say something about me being second.
Nang halos palapit nako sa dining area agad ko silang nakitang kumpleto sa hapag na tanging ako nalang ang kulang. Kuya Ethan and kuya Matt are also there, usually nasa opisina sila kahit pa gabi tumutulong sa mga trabahante, so it's uncommon to see them at this early
