If you think you've heard my story before trust me-- you haven't. -Jade Louise Cruz

[NO SOFTCOPIES] Hindi ko alam kung paano makibagay. Ang pangyayaring iyon ang nag-udyok saakin na maging ganito ako. Ang pagiging iba sakanila, ang ugaling taglay ko at ang paniniwala ko ang tanging mayroon ako para maprotektahan ang sarili ko. Hindi ko sinadya ang lahat pero sa mga nangyayari ngayon parang sinasadya ko na din. Ang gumanti sa mga taong nanakit saakin pati na din sa mga taong malapit sakanila ang una sa listahan ko. Ayoko man, pero heto ang paraan para makamit ang hustisyang inaasam ko.

A poem dedicated to my dad (Special entry for Attys Awards)

"Paano ako mag mo-move-on kung nasanay na akong lagi siyang nasa tabi ko? Paano ko kakalimutan ang nakaraan kung pati yung future na binubuo ko ay kasama siya?"

May forever nga ba? O dapat na natin itigil ang kahibangan sa paniniwala sa salitang 'yan?
