King of Excuses



You cannot make me sing
For singing is not my thing
I have a problem with my larynx
That my voice can even break bricks

I'll just sing rubbish
Will make you say shhhhhhh!
It's not worth to hear
It'll shed you to tears

Even my parents restrain
They said " what is she doin'?
So please don't force me to
Your ears are in danger, so it's up to you

My City is a Person


Serene, warm, home. My city is the place of my belonging. Every time I take one step over it, it feels like it is beside me and walking with me. It has every part that makes as a whole, like a body. And every part of it has an important function. 

There's the heart, the garden. This is the center of my city. Every inch of it is what I love. My happiness, you can find it there. Without this place, my home will not be complete. It'll not breathe, it's not alive. Trees, flowers, bushes, all of it makes my heart sing. The wonderful pathway that leads to the flower paradise. Fragrance keeps lingering on my nose. Whenever I am there, it's hugging me feels like it is whispering in my ear and says that it loves me too. I am thankful for the way the wind sways the tree, the tweet of the birds filling the surrounding with peace sounds, the sun's light that brightens gives a radiant vibe. My euphoria. 


If you walk over the stairs and see that fancy and majestic structure, lies ahead is the brain of my city. The library is my source of knowledge. The place where you don't need to go outside to explore. An area that helps you escape the reality and travel through dimensions. Every shelf, different feelings, different settings. Giving you a collection of different genres. What is your style? romance? is it fantasy? maybe fiction or non-fiction?. Here while my eyes are wide open and read, I can traverse with only a book in my hands. Well, if I want something new to learn, books don't fail to awe me.
Even reality can astound me sometimes. That's how books teach me. Books can give me more than I want. They say "Ignorance is bliss" however, for me, whenever I am in this special place, I earn wisdom.

Can You Hear It?


The rapid tap of the keyboard here and there. Heat pump's calm releasing warm air and the noise that it's producing. Indistinct voices are trying to hide to not disturb someone's teaching in the front. In the corner, the headphone that is connected to a gadget creates a bee sound but actually is a song. Hidden snore is somewhere in the room, however, no matter how it is trying to make it a secret, a snore is a trap. Secret conversations, indistinguishable noises, a song sounding like a bee, all of them are trying to keep not to be loud for the sake of everyone. Once they are heard by someone in the front, it'll ruin the moments.


What place is this?

Horror Camping Trip


     

The day has finally come that we're going to have our own trip. Me, Maine and Rhan are the best friends of all. We planned so many time to go on the best friends trip but it was always postponed as we are still focusing on our studies and our parents didn't allow us to go. I can't still believe it that we are truly having this day. 

 The smile hasn't wiped off in our face since we found out the good news. What's surprising is that our parents set this trip. They discussed and talked to each other. Well, haven't I told you that my parents and Maine's and Rhan's parents are best friends too? Amazing isn't it?. Curiously, I asked them what changed their minds to let us have our dreamed trip because I know that they are really strict to me. And they said that life is full of stressful and gloomy moments so mind to enjoy our teen life first before we go through the hole of problems. I never asked again. Too much joy was flowing into my blood.
We packed up things we needed. From the small and easy things such as 
hygienic and clothes to the biggest necessity which is the vehicle that we're going to use, the jeep. I don't know what model this is but I know it is a jeep. Rhan is in her legal age and so as she has her own license already. She's the driver.  

From start to finish of our road trip, we've been singing all the way. Laugh here, tease there. It's pure happiness. After the long ride, we halted. We have to walk 3 miles because vehicles can't go in. Wasn't a good idea but worth it. Seeing trees and plants makes me feel safe. The place, it was a forest and it gives me an eerie feeling but I still choose to go because it might be just a negative first impression.

 And I was right. I was right that it's just my intuition. The forest was actually the place I would like to go. The sounds of the birds chirping as they fly through above our heads. Nearby was the river that proudly shows its crystal clear water and its calmness that blends with the ambiance of the forest. The natural sounds that truly shows me the world; plugging me out of the toxic dimension of society. We spent all of the daytime doing activities such as hiking, sight-seeing, animal observing, gather the woods for later and built the tent.
        
 The night took over the daylight. Enthusiastically, we hurriedly bunched up together and surrounded the bonfire. We, trios, love to express our secret and dreams together. But that time shooked the tree of us when Maine had revealed something.

"Something was going on my mind for a while." Maine had her start off.                           
" Is it about studying? If that's the case, please not now " I mockingly said.                     
 "I've been wanting to tell you this but I know you would've freaked out. There's a hungry thing inside me that wants to tell my biggest hidden truth." she continued as she ignored me.                                                              

 "You sounds like absolutely horrific right now."  Rhan nervously uttered.                           
Maine smiled and you can sense the hesitation in her eyes but she is desperate to reveal her secret. " I have a third eye." popping out the bubble of her secret and it's now the truth is released.                                                   

 We fell silent, But she kept on going.                                 

" I was born with this and ever since I can see something that a normal person can't. I hated it when I realized that this ability of mine is that me seeing creatures that are so awful and frightful. Until the time came that I just have to embrace it and just let it be. I still hate it but I feel sad that those what I see are lost souls and I can't help them." still we are in awe.   
      
 " Even here in this forest, I can see new lost souls but I don't want to say it to you because it would spoil the camp and trip" she confessed. We looked up to each other and ran to the tent. Not minding the foods that we left beside the bonfire.

We didn't sleep that night until in the morning. The two of us, Rhan and me, didn't grasp the revelation at first yet we managed to ask for more information about Maine's ability. We were so close to each other and there was a time that I have to pee but I can't go outside alone so we together slowly walked outside the dark. Cowardly, we entered the tent again as we heard something in the bush. 


   That day will be remembered as it was the creepiest time of my life,

Show, Don't Tell

                                                                 
   
As the breeze caresses my face, your fragrance unifies
Slowly, I lift my gaze to you and I feel something cries
It was my heart that is complaining
Drops of bliss, it's raining.

Chorus:
This is how it goes, like a river flows
Your love is never ending
And for me, it is a great blessing
My heart is always yours


The loud thud my heart makes
Of when the existence of yours and mine 
Meet and collide
Together create a bond and they embrace





What emotion of the character in the poem conveys?

“With great power comes great responsibility”




 


With the help of the Tree's body, the Lipad bird family is safe to stay there. Great friendship between the Tree and Lipad family is really unbeatable that even storm can't drag them down. Power, the power of the love they give to each other is unconditional and Lipad family being there is the best thing that Tree ever had.

There were some birdies that built nests here but unfortunately, they migrated and I'm looking for someone to occupy the nest." pleaded Tree to the Lipad family.

The 6 Sentences Story



Once upon a time, there was a troubled and trapped fish. She lives in the ocean where the part it is bright. It has magnificent sharp eyes that can clearly see detailed places which are really rare for a fish like her. Because of knowing that it has unexceptional eyes, it was so brave and confident to go in the dark cave. Little did she know, it was her weakness to be in the dark and she felt regretful going there and got lost. She was determined to go out of the cave so she tried to swim reversely until it reached the bright hole where she came from.

Unexpected Wealth

Unexpected Wealth

          It was our vacation at my mother's grandmother's town when something spectacular happened to my life. I didn't know that that spectacular will shake my life. Even my family made a complex situation. How? It all started when I was dusting off the precious garage of my mother's grandmother.

Vacation in Care ( pronounced as ka-re), Tarlac City 


          Today is the day we're going to visit my beloved grandmother. I call her apu. I don't know what does that mean but my apu really like us her grandchildren calling her that. By the way, she's aged already. Well, my grandmother is my mother's grandmother. I expect that everyone will be shocked if they hear me say that my mother's grandmother is still alive and I'm not lying.  She's 102 years old. Lucky her. I want to live long like her. Based on my mother's stories about apu, she lived happily and still living with delight in her heart. She's really old and I am sad that the reality might hit me that one day she'll eventually cease. I love her so much. And I always anticipate on going to her house. This is it! My waiting has finished and I am going to see her now.
         
         When we got there, I saw the giant gates in front of us. It is rusted, some parts of it crooked but you can perceive that these gates had been through a lot. My apu doesn't have any bodyguards but she has maids and they are the one who opened the gates. There's no fountain or fancy car in front of the house but in the front wall underneath, there carved some historic events. Apu preserved those. She said to me that those carved events are really precious especially to their ancestors. Their ancestors are the one that is carved on the wall, I mean our ancestors. Then after that, the big wooden door which has aged too will welcome you. I still remember when I came here for the first time, I can't hold the knob because I can't reach it so I have to wait for my parents first to open the door. The maids are busy preparing to surprise us that's why no one was opening the door. 

          The house or mansion will not give you a spooky feeling unlike when you enter other old mansions. It has a friendly look in it and you will feel comfortable. As we enter the mansion, a feast was the first thing you'll see. The big table is pulling us over to munch the delicious foods it is serving. But of course, for me, apu is the priority even though I am arguing with my own stomach. I'm heading to the room of my apu. There's no second or third floor in this house. It is just a long and wide house. Then I saw apu's room door. Her room is the finest of all the room in the mansion. I knocked and afterward I enter. She knows that it's me when someone has opened her door without her permission. I saw her looking outside the window sitting in her rocking chair. Antiques are everywhere. From the beads she has received when she was a little and up to the bed her weak body she had and will lean to. I called her and she looked at me. Smile has drawn into her wrinkled face. Signs of aging are perceived in her. She's beautiful.     


             I said hi to her and kissed her. I call her apu while she calls me apo which means grandchild. " Oh apo, how are you? I missed you a lot." she cheerfully said despite having a raspy voice. " I am doing well apu. I missed you a lot too. Have you been bored without me?" I asked her. "Of course I am!. I've been waiting for you for a long time. The maids here don't really know how to entertain me unlike you" she answered. " What did you do then?" I replied. " I just sit here in the window and reminisce the time when we are together or when the time when I was a little" she responded. My heart broke into pieces hearing her words. " I'm sorry apu for not visiting you earlier. Tatay (father) and Nanay (mother) just won't drive onto you." I sadly mumbled. " It's alright apo. I understand you just please let's be happy today okay?. I might pass away anytime and I want to spend time with my favorite and best granddaughter first before that happens" she innocently said to me and I uttered angrily and pleading " No, no, no don't say that apu. I will visit you always I promise just please don't say that okay?" I'm almost crying but she just smile and told me this. " We don't hold our lives apo. We don't know if when our time is up but at least I know that I'm happy before I'll die and that's what is important. So before I say goodbye to you I want you to go to the garage and go to the lowest cabinet and there you will see a little door Open it you will see something in there. Please keep those treasures and if you want to use them when you're in need then use it." 


             That's the last things she said to me and then she went to her bed and sleep. I'm not sure if what she's saying is true but I want to check it. I went to the garage that night when all of my relatives and family have fallen into sleep. I turn the switch on and some unuseful stuff are stacked in here. I head into the cabinets and I found the lowest one. I slowly opened it but I heard some thud on the floor.  And I stopped waiting for the thud to come to me. It has a fast thud. A dog. It was a dog! Oh my goodness I was so nervous! It was just Bruno, my grandmother's beloved dog. After that, I continued looking for the treasures. I opened the cabinet and I saw the little door grandmother is talking about. I removed the metal that keeps it locked and there I saw a box of money. Old money. They are in a bunch and behind the box is a small chest. It contains jewelry but there is something more important than that. A photo.The photo of my apu and her husband, my grandfather which I didn't have a chance to see. I just heard him in the stories of my grandma and they really love each other. I teared up. The treasure is not the money but the photo. It is worth more than the box of money. This photo carries a million memories. And I am sure that I'll cherish it forever.

A Letter to Writer's Block

https://thewritepractice.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Writers-Block-is-a-Lie.png

Dear Writer's Block,

             
              It's not you, it's me. I am giving my full effort to extract something from my creative mind but you are just a hindrance. You are pulling back what I extracted and crushing it into pieces until it blows away. I told you it's not you, it's me. And it always should be me. I am in charge of doing my work and oh well, your job is to block me. Great!. Now, what do I do?. Such a nuisance. Okay, I'm trying to be productive and produce something that would satisfy my soul and also to my dear readers. I just can't believe you are striking me at this moment that I am in rush. I have to finish my story or else it will be a waste of opportunity. I am working on this story because, after a thousand years of waiting, a publishing company has accepted my story. I've been waiting for this and please don't ruin it.

              I know eliminating you will be hard. You're just a part of me and you're still not me, never ever. If only I can face you right now,I will really punch you hard until you fly to Mars and never come back to me. Can you see how exaggerated am I? That's how desperate I am to terminate you. BUT HOW? HOW CAN I TERMINATE YOU?. Gosh. I hope you see that I'm getting frustrated and you made it worse.
           
             Do you still remember the days that you are so helpful? When you know that I'm stressed up, you showed up. I thank you for that, genuinely. Because of you, I meditated and realized that I need time to relax too. That I have to give myself a break and plug out of the world. And by that, you have been helping me to find the best ideas for my creative stories. 

              You have been behaving well lately but you are annoying me today. You are so annoying, annoying, annoying, and annoying, and annoying again. Ha! Hope you consider me by this letter. Just you wait. I'm going to find a way to eliminate you. It's just only for a day so please consider. You wait okay? You really should.




YOURS TRULY,
UNBLOCKING WRITER

Annoying Orange on a talk show


The talk show is almost starting. Annoying Orange is the main guest. But before she goes to her own stage, she found someone to annoy. She said, “ Hey you snail!”. As expected of the snail, it slowly turned around to the Annoying Orange. “ Yeeeeees?” answered the snail with a deep voice and slow tempo. “ You really are a snail” stated the Annoying Orange. “ Ooof cooourse, I aaaaam. Neeeveer diiid I chaaaange” innocently answered the snail. “ You are so slimy. Leaving tracks on the floor and slipping people. Aren’t you disgusted with yourself?” asked Annoying Orange. “ Ohhh, I’mmmm not. I aaaccept myself and I knoooow theee staffs here knoooowww. And we have our utiiilityyyy membeeers hereeee sooo whyyy botheerrrr? asked back the snail. “ Oh my goodness nevermind” disappointed Annoying Orange.

After the conversation about the Annoying Orange and the snail, she was called by the emcee of the show which named Spidee and obviously, a spider.


“Please welcome the unique and one and only living orange in the world, Annoying Orange!!!!. Around of applause everybody!”. A loud cheer and claps are given to Annoying Orange. She is really a boastful orange. She is a popular one, that’s why. But little did she know someone created a prank on her. Since they know that she always annoys everyone and she is definitely a proud one of herself, they put a poop on the stage. Well, just a fake poop.

Creative Writing : Chocolate pool

Walking into a giant pool, I didn’t know that it would look something like mud. Where I was standing was slippery and lead to fall into the pool. It doesn’t feel like the splash of the normal swimming pool. Sticky and smooth. But it was dark. As I gasped for air, I drank the water. Guess what? Tasty. 

The soothing sweetness that I taste inside my mouth is addicting. What is this? I’m drowning as well as chucking the liquid sinking my whole body. The air was running out in my lungs. I flap my hands to bring me up to this stucking liquid. Difficult is the best definition while I was doing this. What’s worse is that I can’t see anything. Well, it looks like mud but didn’t expect that it would be gloomy down here. It was sticky and it took me longer to see outside world again. I filled my lungs with air. It was the first thing I do. As I calm down, I smelled the mud-like liquid. It smells caramel with sugar and honey aroma in it. Tasting it this time was different. It was really defined this time.

Creative Writing: Falling

Turbulence hits the plane I’m riding at. Panicking people are all over my surroundings. While me, I’m not into reality yet. The pilot said it will be dangerous if we will stay longer in the plane. We need to use parachutes to get down. Unfortunately, there were too many people rode in this plane. Parachutes are not sufficient for all of the people inside this ravaging plane. Any moment it will break down. I was not on the right mind, I jumped. 

Feels like I’m in the cloud nine. I don’t care for anyone anymore. I closed my eyes. Cherishing the tenderness of the clouds. The clouds are wooshing to my face and it feels light. I’m in a rapid fall. I don’t feel scared at all, in fact, this is exciting. I’m really not on the right mind. I’m going to die already yet I’m still thinking about these clouds touching my face. Afterward, I can’t feel the sweet touch of clouds anymore. I opened my eyes and I see those infrastructures on their miniature form. I’m flying. 

Any moment, I would fall to the ground. I spread my arms like wings. So this is the feeling of flying. The sense of freedom is all I can feel. Ironic huh. Freedom feeling eventually I would be dead. The buildings start to grow bigger and closer. Maybe I’m only 1 kilometer ahead from the ground. But as I observe to where I’m heading to, I saw blue. Blue? Why blue?. Oh! Ocean. I’m falling down to the ocean. 1 meter more. Then I splash to the water. The hard splash of water welcomes me. I feel nothing.
