RAIN

Being that Guy...

It was almost a year now when a huge storm has passed my life. Through that storm, I was able to withstand it and see the rainbows after each rain. These rainbows were the persons who made me smile. But to reminisce on being that guy who soaks himself in the rain listening to music has been my old self that also has affected my present situation. I love the rain actually for the rhythm of the rain brings my heart to beat. Staying under the rain makes me feel alive and with myself. The rain has helped me heal those wounds caused by the storm. I need something to conceal them and show a not affected face. The rain has been that companion to me. There was once a time where I was just standing on the roof of my grandparents house all under the rain just watching how each raindrop drops into my hands as I stretch it forward. I was completely smiling during that rain for it was the time I realized and balanced things in my upside down world. After soaking under the rain, I would get back inside, drink a cup of coffee while sitting near the windows and closing my eyes as the aroma of the coffee sinks in my nose. During those time the music became my best friend for it helps me cope with all that i have missed. Music has been the only exit i found where i could totally show myself. Until now, i have applied the same doings of being that guy makes me feel that I'm complete. Now, i have to move on and continue surviving life and trying to leave that guy i used to be but how i missed being that guy....

She Who Loves The RAIN

That Rain Moment where crying will never ever be seen. We just listen the rhythm of the rain as it dance with the wind.

Pinky Promises

Have you tried having pinky promises?

That Dance in the Rain

Have you ever wished to dance under the rain with someone so special to you? It's the moment where the rain would stop and its only you and her under rain dancing and spinning like it will be the last moment in life.

Girls' Generation Made the Heat!

"If I will be born a thousand times... 

I would still choose to be a SONE and fall in love

with the same Girls' Generation today!!"

                                                                ~Dean Vencenne Tano 

 The ever growing group of 9 beautiful ladies has affected a lot of Filipino citizens that now called as the "SONE", which pronounced as "so-one". The SONE, a ever dying fans of the Girls' Generation that is composed of 9 members and is also called as the SNSD. The statement above was made personally by the an avid SONE. This girls were not just an icon in the music industry but also an inspiration to her to survive life and see them someday. She was totally addicted to the K-POP fever and particularly in the SNSD. She could even buy their merchandise directly from Korea just to have memorabillas of them. The addiction never fades off for her it will be a lifetime experience. I salute her for she has considered the group as part of her family and if ever one gets hurt, she helps immediately no matter how far they were giving them moral support. The Girls' Generation has made the Heat burning through their songs like the known "The Boys" and "Gee". I'm not an avid fan but also I'm not against them but how these girls bring inspiration to a lot of people makes me happy and we all know that not every thing is permanent and someday this group would go to separate ways but the inspiration they give and the memories they share with their fans will surely be a life for the SONE. It will never ever gonna end for The Girls' Generation Made the Heat through the heart of the SONE!

Five uniquely blend voices of this five different teenage guys are heard throughout the globe as they start to make a name in the music industry. This five guys who formed the band named as "ONE DIRECTION" who now rises to stardom bringing with them all the love of their ever supportive fans, the Directioners. Who would have thought that these guys who joined the talent show, The X Factor, would be rise and make a name. The band was not the winner during their season on the show but with their unique talents and voice they stood out among the competitors. They are loved by most girls around the planet which would scream and laughs whenever they hear songs of the band and stalks to them using the internet. The ever avid fans would continue to support the band throughout their journey bringing with them the inspiration they give to them. I'm not against the Directioners for personally I salute the One Direction for their great songs and their talents. I may not say that I'm a fan but I'm on their back supporting them. ONE DREAM we all share to make a name, ONE DIRECTION we all go together for thats what ONE DIRECTION is all about.

Ash Wednesday

Ash Wednesday, the start of the Season of Lent -- the season where all people repent of their sins and do fasting. Every year we keep on celebrating the Lenten Season and we are always reminded to repent and change our hearts but still were back to our old ways after this season. As Ash Wednesday is celebrated to remind us that "We are from Dust and into Dust we shall return." This statement has been passed to generation since the beginning of time. It is been said as the Priests puts ash into the forehead in a form of a Cross but this year, there has been a change in statement and it became :"Repent and have faith in the Gospel". We may not see it now the importance of Ash Wednesday or the Lenten Season but someday we will be. As the usual tradition goes on fasting and abstinence we are still encourage not to eat meat during the Ash Wednesday and the upcoming Fridays of the Season. We may think that fasting could be hard to do because we love eating meat but fasting does not only speak of the food but also the acts that we usually do. We could fast in texting and doing those bad habits of ours. This would only happen once in a year and we could not even do this one for we complain much. This is the only time where we remember God, his paschal mystery, and His great Love for us. Try to repent and ask forgiveness to all those people that we might have hurt. Always remember that no matter how big is that person's mistake to us, we still have to forgive because even God forgives us despite our numerous sins. Ash Wednesday guys, Lent has started, let's all together commemorate Jesus.

Unending Journey To Life

 

Life's Journey begins with a single step as we always say,

The very first step we made when we were still toddlers, 

has been the indication of the journey we are about to start. 

The only journey that never ends even God calls us home.

Our body maybe buried under this earth,

our presence and our thoughts will never be forgotten,

No matter who we are or what we have,

its the same journey we are travelling.

"What a Life we have!,

We can't understand, 

we can't even know

where its going to end.

A human life, 

is full of mysteries,

We really won't know,

when its going to end.

But you will always be remembered,

to all your dramatic story in life,

and you'll never be forgotten

because of your naughty acts.

You'll always be talked,

you'll be laughed at,

but we will shed tears

as you depart ways with us."

A Journey worth living for, 

is going to the journey of life.  

Once in My White Valentine

                         FEBRUARY 14  ---  a day people look up to as couples or as individuals. Some people celebrates on this day but some also just lets it pass just like an ordinary day. Lovers or not we get excited on this day for we do not know the surprises that may come. During this day, well, we all know guys and girls receive flowers and chocolates. Different ways on how we can express our feelings during this day. Red Roses are definitely the common flower given on that day but all people have different stories to tell and songs to sing. I also have a story to tell, my own story indeed, a story that had happened once in my white valentine.

                           The day before Valentines Day was just a typical school day for me. Every thing goes on its same way like every other days. During the afternoon, it comes to me that I'll but flowers for this girl who captures my heart for almost 4 years now. She has this beautiful and sparkling eyes, extraordinary laughter, lovable attitude, also the face is beautiful and a lot more! I could never describe her more for its like catching a lightning in finding someone like her. Its one in a million the chances of feeling the way I do to her. A group of friends of mine came talking about valentines day and how they'll be celebrating it and I got some ideas and finally said to my self, "I should ask her for tomorrow" and as any of us would feel, I felt coward for its going to the first time I'll do it but my friends cheers me up so when  I've seen her going home already I ran towards her and talks to her without asking yet because i got tongue-tied. When they were on the vehicle already and ready to go home, I came to her ears and tried to whisper but no words would come out so i keep on giggling and so as she When the vehicle was about to move, I hurriedly whisper into her ears the words, "Can You Be My Valentine?" and she replied, "yeah, same to you". While I was walking home, I was wondering of her answer to i tried to text my friend and ask her to ask that girl if she heard what I say just to make sure and as what I expected she didn't hear it but instead, "Happy Valentines!!". So, I text the girl and asks her the question and later that night I got a reply saying "YES, I CAN BE". Receiving that text sends me to heaven for finally I'll have a date on Valentines. I can't sleep during that night for I was too worried on what will happen the next day for its our first times. Time check, its 12:00 am already so I said to myself that night, "I Can Do This its going to be Now Or Never!". By the Next day, Its Valentines Day already and I woke up early to prepare everything I have planned. Using my allowance for the week, I bought roses to give her, 14 roses with meanings on each rose. These roses were white in color for the white roses expresses the feeling I got for her. I tried to style and fix the roses individually for I was planning to give them individually having first one inside the room without anyone seeing and that's the reason why i got up early. After leaving the rest of the 13 roses inside one of the offices in school, i pretended that I wasn't the admirer but as I expected, all their suspicions directs to me without any doubts for I was having this feeling since when we were still in first year. One by one, I ask other student and even teachers! to give the white roses to her during classes and breaks. The class screams a loud in every flower that she receives and directs their sights on me and I keep on denying that its me! hahaha but inside of me , I wanted to scream with all my might that it is me!!! hahahaha..When the afternoon came, I had prepared 5 white balloons with 1 letter in each balloon of her name. When it is time to give the 12th White Rose, a teacher was asked to do this by my friend and I was shocked for he said during the class, "Excuse me Ma'am, I would just like to give the flower to a special girl" and it sends the whole class screaming and teasing all the way to the top. While I was listening, I felt really nervous for the rest of the plan. After the last subject in the afternoon, I asked my seatmate to give the 13th White rose to her on the stairs and direct her to proceed to the center of the Soccer Field in the school for I'll meet her there. So using the balloons, i tried to make a parade where the balloons in front and I'm at the last line. When we reached the center of the field, they formed the name and I was standing at the back of the line with cold hands. I emerged in front holding the last White Rose towards her with a fire burning inside my heart that keeps on telling on how I really feel. I stood there, face to face with her with no words on my mouth nothing would go out and i wanted to freak out but finally I said to her, "14 White Roses, 14 corresponds to meanings". I told her the 14 and while delivering it, a crowd started to gather with teachers and students listening to what I say to her. Both of us really were sweating at the moment for its the first time we have done something like this. I saw people taking pictures, and videos around us! Some were looking from the High School building, Pathways, Covered Court, Basketball Court, and around us! its like i wanna collapse and leave the world! but I still continue to do it and when I am finished with the 14, I asked the crowd to vacate now for I have something to tell her and they all vacated. Finally with so much sweat and nervousness, I told her, "Can We Have Dinner Tonight? Just Outside our House" and I got a reply of, "Yes!" and then we talked a little about what I really feel and how willing I am to wait for the right time when she will be ready to accept suitors and a lot more! hahaha. After that conversation, we head home already together and I was just smiling the whole time for I couldn't believe what had just happened! We had dinner outside the house with white roses at the center and white balloons on the side with the matching of white tables and chairs and white walls! Its a White Valentine indeed that we have celebrated. During the Dinner, I had a lot of fun and a lot of love. I was talking about looking for her during the college and her being my next valentine for I'll really look for her! we finished dinner and talking around 8 in the evening and I escorted her back at their house and i stayed there for a while and left. I tried to walk in going home, I text her a long message about the day and when I cross the road, I hit my head in the leaving a hump on my head! hahaha. maybe i was just shocked with all the happenings. When I reach home, I tried to wash up and when i was about to sleep, images of her flashes on my mind and i can't help but smile with all those images of her. I would never forget this day of my life, February 14, 2012. After that, I finally fallen asleep.

                            "The story of a love is not important - what is important is that one is capable of love. It is perhaps the only glimpse we are permitted of eternity." The stories we tell would indicate our well being. These stories, which i believe are meant to be told. The Eternal I have, the true and sincerest intentions and love are all express with the 14 White Roses. 5 White Balloons. Love Stories are different  with different people and this has been a story i wanted to share, Once in my White Valentine.
