Hinding-hindi ko malilimutan ang huling sandali ni lola.

Iyon ang huling sandaling binitiwan niya ang salitang "La Vie est Belle" sa pang walumpu't walong beses.

It's a French phrase means "life is beautiful." 

Noong una hindi ko maunawaan kung bakit bukambibig niya iyon palagi. Kahit noong tumuntong ako sa wastong edad ay hindi ko pa rin maintindihan kung bakit paboritong sinasabi ni lola ang salitang iyon sa akin tuwing pinapangaralan niya ako.

Hinanap ko pa ang kahulugan noon sa internet at wala naman akong nakitang ibang malalim na kahulugan.

For me it is just a simple phrase stating that life is beautiful, and there is nothing more special about it.

Iyon ang akala... dahil ito pala mismo ang magtuturo at magbibigay ng kahulugan sa akin.

When Franco moved to Manila for college, he told himself that he'll experience everything there is to experience. And he did. His first year could be considered as... scandalous, to say the least. So when his sophomore year came, he promised himself that he'll do better para na rin sa future niya. He intended to join this prestigious organization that would surely help his career in the future. When Franco joined AIESEC, he knew his life would change... little did he know, magbabago talaga ang buhay niya nang makilala niya si Joaquin Lorenzo Santillan-the perfect student who's beloved by everyone. Franco was in awe. Every where Joaquin goes, his presence commanded respect. His presence was magnetic, his smile effortless, his charm undeniable. And he was nice-so nice that Franco unknowingly followed him around, like he was orbiting around Joaquin's magnetic presence, eager for him to be noticed. Akala ni Franco ay okay ang lahat. Naka-pasok na siya sa org. Mukhang magiging kaibigan niya na si Joaquin. But one night, few beers after, his world seemingly collapsed when Joaquin stared him in the eye and said, "In case there's any confusion, let me make it clear-I'm not gay." Franco's world tilted on its axis, crumbling in an instant. Now, his mission was simple: survival. Avoid Joaquin at all costs. Erase the memory of that moment, of those eyes, of the touch that seemed to linger impossibly on his skin. Little did he know, some marks aren't so easily erased.
