by: Angela S. Patenio

              What Filipino is like? Filipinos are like an abstract painting because they have lots of colorful beliefs, traditions and culture. They are one of those people in the world that treasures their culture and passed it on generation to generation. Many years have passed, but the essence and the beauty of the traditions and cultures of the Filipinos are still alive. There may be a lot of changes going on, but one thing for sure that the Filipinos won't forget there ancestors culture.

                   In the play The World is an Apple which is written by Alberto Florentino, shows many beliefs, traditions and cultures of a Filipino. In the story, a young couple who are on the lower status of society wanted there child Tita to have a comfortable life, just like any Filipino parents would like too. Gloria is a housewife and takes good care of their daughter, while Mario is a factory worker in an apple factory. 

One time, Mario saw an apple that fell in the crate. When he saw the apple, he remembered her daughter that wanted to eat delicious apple, so he kept the apple inside the bag. But because of what he did, he was accused of stealing and he was fired on his work for stealing just one apple. The higher official of the factory wanted to kicked him out, because they wanted to let their men in. Mario got home with nothing. He explained everything that happened to his wife Gloria. Instead of  getting angry with Mario, Gloria still understand the situation and reminded Mario that God will never let them down and they will surpasses the situation they are facing. 

In this play, the characters possessed a character of a true Filipino that values and cherish their family. Through thick and thin they will do everything with the support of each other. They showed that no matter what status your family is in, you should accept the fact and strive more. And the last is, they never forget to believe in God. Filipinos are known to be religious and loving people. Whenever they have problems in life they managed to smile and solve the problems together with their families.

Thought it was Love (copypaste)

Thought it was Love

by: Derek del Barrio

i thought it was love 

it was just bad luck 

and i came to the conclusion 

my love life really sucks 

i'm not sure of my problem 

it's gotta be me 

maybe i'm too afraid 

to face reality 

i thought it was love 

just my hormones kickin' 

i look back at yesterday 

oh what was i thinking 

my fingers no longer count 

the mistakes i have made 

tears labeled why 

seemed to end my day 

and a beautiful girl 

enters the room 

her caring smile 

ends my gloom 

i get some affection 

no longer am i broken hearted 

it seems the cycle was just restarted

Two Sides Of Red (Love&Hate)

By: Angela S. Patenio

Those times when we were together.

Laughing over and over.

Thinking that this will last forever.

Standing you by my side makes me safer.

Cause I know you'll protect me from danger.

I remember your mesmerizing eyes

that makes me want you.

Your smile that makes me excited to see you.

Your embrace that makes me fall for you.

And you know what?

No one else makes me feel good like you do.

But in a blink of an eye.

You cant even say hi or goodbye.

Ignoring me like a lie. 
Is it because of your small eyes?
Is it the reason why?
Or your just trying to push me away?
Please tell me why.

Why cant you see me?
Why are you so cold to me?
Why is it so easy for you to let me go?
Why now?
Now that I'm deeply in love with you.

I thought you are the man who will 
always stay besides me.
The man who will surely catch me.
The man who will truly love me.
But you are the man who hurt me so easily.
The man who broke my heart  so badly.

I may have fallen for your silly trap,
but I know I can  get up.
I may be hurt, but I can move on.
And you'll see that I'm not holding on .
Without you, my life will go on.

You let me feel that I'm nothing,
so I'll take avenge.
I will let you taste my bitter sweet revenge.
Cause from now on you are just somebody.
So better be ready to see a part of me.

I may look like an angel.
But there's a demon inside of me.
It will haunt you down.
And you'll be sorry for hurting me.
