"THE COFFEE"
In a small far away town, there is a boy named Bert, he is very cheerful, talented, brave and also a
dreamer. He lives in a small house patched with woods and ragged fabrics that doesn’t seem to stand
when hit by a single storm. He is alone since his mother passed away after he was born and also his father
later on because of an illness that is impossible to be treated since their family is very poor. In the
morning Bert works in a small coffee shop as a janitor and in the evening, he works as a dishwasher in a
Restaurant. Even though he works day and night, the money that he gets always goes to his rusty and
precious tin can that serve as his “minibank”.
One night after his duty from the Restaurant, he walks slowly on the empty alley as the moonlights
lighten the way up the tiredness registered on his face and his shoulders seems so heavy that any minute
his body will collapse. The young boy walks as if he carries all the problems in this world, he feels empty
aside from the tiredness that soothes his entire body. When he finally got home, he sat on the wooden
chair beside his house under a leafless tree. He put up his legs, hugged it and begun to cry in pain.
“Mom, Dad I don’t know what would be my purpose here in this world. I’m so tired please give me
strength” Bert said while looking in the dark sky while his eyes became blurry and tears fell on his
cheeks. The sky is clear, the stars shine bright, the big bright moon and its moonlight embraces a young
boy who only feels pain and emptiness crying like there is no tomorrow for him.
The next morning, he woke up early and did his routine. He sat on his favorite wooden chair and sipped
his coffee. A slight smile registered on his face as he saw the clear morning sky, heard the chirping birds
and felt the cold wind. “What a peaceful day to start-up” he said while smiling.
“One of these days I will buy a new shirt, this one I’m wearing is so ragged” he giggled bitterly.
While on his way to the coffee shop where he is working, he saw a little girl looking in the jar of candies
near his workplace. He comes near the little girl and asks her “You want some of this?” the little girl
nodded slowly as shyness registered on her face. Bert searches his pocket if he has some coins, he finds a
penny and buys one candy. He gave the candy to the little girl and to his surprise a teary eye displays on
the cute eyes of the little girl. “Wait why are you crying?” asking the little girl while he wiped the tears
with his thumb.
“I’m so happy that’s why a tear fell from my eyes. This is my first time tasting a candy, it is so delicious.
Thank you so much mister” the little girl said smiling genuinely. Bert smiles too as he sees the happiness
in the eyes of a little girl, his heart feels happy. “What a wonderful thing to start my day” he said while
going inside the coffee shop.
A tiring day again as the coffee shop slowly filled with a lot of customers and the seats started to dwindle.
While wiping and cleaning the table of the previous customer, Bert was surprised when a girl his age sits
unto the table, he’s cleaning.
“Good day ma’am, please let me finish this immediately so you can order without a problem” Bert said
while smiling to the girl.
“Yeah, sure take your time” the girl smiled back. Bert finished up cleaning the table and go to the kitchen
to clean there too. Bert peeks at the table he recently cleaned and there he saw again the girl writing
something on a notebook. The shop is full of customers that’s why the manager asked Bert to serve the
upcoming customer since the other staff is busy too. Seems like fate is on his side, the one that he first to
serve is the girl he saw earlier. As usual when he reached her table, out of curiosity Bert peered a little at
what the girl was doing and he saw some drawings of food and some notes. Due to fear of getting caught
he cleared his throat and approached the girl.
“Hi ma'am, here is your order of cappuccino and a slice of toasted bread. Enjoy your coffee” he said
while smiling at the girl.
“Thank you!” the girl said as she smiled back.
Bert can’t help but to smile like his heart tells it so. Filled with joy he suddenly remembered that there is
no person in the town smiling at him truly except the little girl he helped earlier that morning. Bert
continues serving the customers with a smile and more energetic. Due to tiredness, he forgot the person
who made him work happily. After the morning shift he came back to his house to rest a little since his
morning schedule is hectic. He rested a little and lay his back to his bed but drowsiness enveloped him so
he suddenly fell asleep. Later on, a ray of sunlight hit his face and he woke up, he stretched his arms and
seemed like he rested enough. Suddenly a shocked expression displays on his face as he remembers that
he has a night schedule. He panicked and immediately fixed himself while looking in a small mirror, he
walked faster but soon he ran because the sun was going to set and it means that he is late for work. When
he arrived at the Restaurant, he saw a person standing at the back door and he was surprised to know that
it is the manager that seems like waiting for him to arrive.
“Good afternoon Mr. Velazquez, I'm sorry for being late please give another chance to work here” he
sincerely begged to Mr. Velazquez to allow him to work again. A despair registered on Bert’s face as the
manager didn’t allow him to work.
“I’m so sorry but the policy is to be on time, policy is policy Bert you know that”. The manager walked
away and went inside the restaurant.
Bert left sitting beside the door hugging his knees and his eyes showed nothing but misery. He stood up
and walked slowly as if his soul wandered and left his body. While walking he passed by the coffee shop,
he looked inside and he saw a lot of people drinking, chatting and eating.
“Seems like this shop is my only hope” he said while smiling bitterly.
On the inside of the coffee shop, a girl saw Bert passing by and examined why he is walking like that. She
looked at him with an inquiring mind. She remembered that he’s the one who served her earlier that day.
She immediately finished her coffee and to her curiosity she stood up and went outside the shop. She saw
Bert in an alley walking so she followed Bert behind, until she saw Bert go inside a small house made up
of woods and ragged fabrics. She was left speechless as she realized where Bert is living and what life it
has, she hid behind a tree not so far away from the house and there she saw Bert sat in a wooden chair
while its face was like in edge of crying. The girl left dumbfounded as she imagined how tough Bert is
and how it endured all the misfortune that he experienced.
“You smiled genuinely and I thought it was normal but like what I saw in your eyes is just pure sadness”
the girl uttered in despair.
The girl took the notebook out of her small shoulder bag, she sat beside the tree while looking at Bert’s
current situation. She draws everything she saw right at that moment from birth sitting on a small wooden
chair to its house and an unvarnished tree standing beside it.
“I hope to be friends with you and make you smile since you deserve to be happy too” she whispered to
the cold breeze enveloping the surrounding that afternoon.
The next morning Bert goes to his work earlier since it’s payday and he is excited to buy a new shirt that
he can use in his work. Seems like it's a very lucky day for him because the manager of the coffee shop
approached him and wants him to work fulltime. Bert’s heart and soul can’t contain the joy he felt after
what he heard from his manager.
“Thank you so much sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity” he exclaimed happily and the manager
replied “I think you don’t know this but I’m keeping an eye on you since you work here and all I saw is a
very hardworking young boy who works with dedication. You deserve it, don't lose that fighting spirit,
okay?” Bert answers with full of energy and pure happiness “Yes sir, I will!”.
Bert’s smile can’t be removed and he cleans the kitchen happily like he is totally enjoying his work. One
of his co-workers called him and said “Bert, can you do the serving for now? One of our servers got sick,
can you do this? I got permission from our manager don’t worry since the customer is escalating, we will
need an extra hand”. Bert does the request without hesitation and the barista; his co-worker thank him for
doing it. He helped them merrily and got close to other workmates since they now recognized his
existence.
While he carefully wipes the glass cups, the door opens, which means there is a customer then when he
looks at it, he notices the familiar small beautiful face, long dark brown hair that falls on its shoulder and
a smile that seems so long since the last time he saw it. It was the girl who’s smiles melted his heart and
then he approached it.
“Hi ma’am what is your order?” he said while looking at her. “I want a cup of cappuccino,” the girl
replied while smiling to Bert. After Bert finishes the order, he goes back to give it to the girl whose he
wants to know the name of it. He carefully places the order at the table and when he is going to go back
the girl calls him. “Hi I’m Freya” she said while extending her arms towards Bert and he brushes his dirty
hands to his apron immediately accepts Freya’s hands and shakes it gently. “Hello, I’m Bert” replied
shyly while scratching the back of his head using the other hand. “I’m lonely right now, can you join
me?” Freya said calmly. Bert was going to say no when Freya smiled and said “Don’t worry I already told
it to the manager. Then after that they talked like they knew each other for a long time, they laughed and
shared their thoughts cheerfully. In the distance near the table of Freya and Bert the manager smiled while
looking at them and a tear fell from his eyes and whispered “Finally Bert earned a friend; his smile is so
pure”.
“Here look at it” Freya took her book from the small bag and gave it to Bert. Bert opened it and to his
surprise he looked at Freya with a curious look. “It's you Bert, I don’t know why but it seems like we are
destined to meet each other. When I saw you that day you passed here walking like a zombie, I followed
you and there I saw you cried and it's so painful to see those eyes flooded with tears.” Bert was shocked at
what he saw at the notebook and to what he heard from Freya” at the back of his mind something popped
up “Is it the sign I’m waiting for?” he whispered unconsciously. Seems like Freya is an angel sent by God
for him to push forward and be a better version of himself.
Days have passed and the two enjoy each other's company and later on became best friends. Freya is now
working at the coffee shop along with Bert and they both work passionately as their friendship grows
stronger. Bert got promoted to be a team leader after a year of working and now enjoying his busy life.
One afternoon Bert and Freya visit a cemetery “This is where my parents were buried. I want to show
them that I am now a stronger and braver person, I hope they are proud of me” Bert said while a tear
escaped from his eyes. “They are Bert, they are proud of you” Freya said while patting Bert’s shoulder.
Bert wiped his tears and looked in the sky “Thank you for giving me a person who will inspire and push
me to go forward” he smiled so happily.
“Sometimes their times that God will measure how long we will persevere and how we accept his
challenges. When the times comes that we felt like giving up he will do everything to help us. I think he
sent Freya to me to be a torched of my new beginning. - Bert

"THE TASTE OF HAPPINESS"
In an isolated village near the sea a 19-year-old tall, dark skinned and good-looking guy
with brown hair lives named Nathaniel, despite his appearance the people in his village are
furious because of his bothersome attitude. He is sometimes called “rude-nathan” because of
how he treats other people and how he doesn’t care about anything around him. He lives by
himself because he lost his parents at the age of 12 when they are working in the middle of the
vast sea. He stopped going to school when he was in 4th year Highschool due to financial
problems and because he can’t support his needs properly. People around don't like him because
of his attitude but they admire the positivity he always shows when the problem is around the
corner. The one thing that he is very good and skilled at is cooking, his passion and love for
cooking is immeasurable where people tend to ask him about food and he answers them but
sometimes in a sarcastic manner. He is a type of guy who is talented but his attitude is in the
opposite way.
One day when Nathaniel was wandering in the white sandy beach near the shore, he saw
a not so tall, brown skinned girl with long straight hair that fell just above her shoulder walking
slowly in the shore, looking in the vast blue sea where her eyes are just like a digital camera,
catching every corner of the sea and every movement of the waves it creates. Nathan was
amazed at how the sea and the girl are immensely beautiful. The beautiful girl notices Nathaniel
and approaches him, when they are now facing each other she extends her hand to offer a
handshake to Nathaniel. A very shy smile appeared on Nathan’s face and immediately reached
out his hand to accept the handshake and Nathan was amazed at how the girl smiled so
beautifully.
“Hi! I’m Callista and you are?”
“Hello! I’m Nathaniel but you can call me Nathan for short” smiled shyly.
Nathan and Callista talked to each other as if they were long lost siblings that they were
comfortable in each other. Callista told Nathan that her father bought a rest house near the
village, to spend the summer vacation since she’s still studying and she was walking to see or be
familiar with the whole place. The village people who saw the two sitting next to each other were
caught off guard because the Nathan they were looking at is not the Nathan who has a bad
attitude. They were thinking that Nathan might be having a hard time since he is alone that’s why
his attitude is his defense mechanism to hide the loneliness that he feels.
“I’m so deeply in love in the sea because of its breathtaking beauty, the cool breeze that soothes
in the skin and the water that sparkled brightly as the warm light hit right through it”. Callista
said as she looked in the sun that soon to set getting ready for the evening sky. Nathan also looks
in the sunset and feels happy that he found a friend that he doesn’t expect they will both share
the same interest and dreams.
After a couple of days Nathan and Callista are now treating each other as siblings where
they are more comfortable than before. They both love cooking and eat a lot of different foods
where they made a promise to each other that one day they will travel and taste the different
cuisines every place could offer. Nathan changed since he met Callista and he sometimes thought
it's true that “God will let you meet someone who will help you to be a better version of
yourself”. His life is like a food without a taste where you will still eat it because it is made for
you and he compares it to his life that even though he experienced being a worthless person he
still served a purpose in this beautiful world.
The summer vacation is in the corner and Callista told Nathan that she needs to go back
to their house in the City near the village to continue her studies. At first Nathan felt sad because
his closest friend would leave but Callista promised “I will visit here every vacation and let’s
spend time together again. Distance will never break our friendship. I promise you that” Callista
smiled so beautifully while saying it.
Time has passed, Nathan became a diligent kind of person and he is now socializing to
the people in the village. People surrounding him were amazed because of his hidden
personality, a joyful, industrious and a very reliable guy that they didn’t see immediately. The
smile on their faces is like a smile of proud parents to their child when it accomplished
something. Their eyes sparkle as if Nathan is like a gem that was found in the deepest sea. It is
truly remarkable if the person you once hate is now a treasure you want to keep forever. Nathan
became the favorite of the people, he cooked for them, helped in their works and assisted them
when they needed help. They treat him as part of their own family which made Nathan feel an
astounding happiness that he never felt before. Through the help and support of the people he
started his own business a small diner that serves fresh seafoods. Even though he doesn’t finish
studying, he proves that through hardship and a positive mind everything is possible. As his
business slowly grew, Nathan didn’t forget to send a letter to Callista on how he started his
business and how he changed his perspectives in life. He told Callista how the people in the
village love him now and how they support him in achieving what he wants.
“I hope you’ll visit again here someday. I want to show you how I've changed into the better
version of myself. I’m sure my parents would be proud of me”. Nathan wrote to his letter as his
eyes filled with joy and positiveness.
Summer is in the doorway and Nathan is excited to meet Callista again. He is also excited
to make his food and cooking skills known as tourists come to the beach where his diner stands.
He wants to be rich in order to fulfil their promise that they will travel and taste a lot of different
foods. One night while he is busy serving the customer a tall, white skinned girl with blonde hair
that shines as the moonlight struck right through it approaches him and yells “Nathan best
friend!” At first Nathan is clueless, his eyebrows curved and a frown registered in his face while
looking at the girl who called him. His mouth widened as he recognized the girl standing right in
front of him and he excitedly shouted “Callista!” a shout that is full of joy and Nathan
immediately hugged Callista like a brother who missed his sister. They go outside and walk on
the shore under the dazzling light coming from the moon. Nathan and Callista sat on the
beautiful white sand excitedly sharing their stories and laughing together.
“I missed this feeling, the cold sea breeze, the wind that’s so fresh and the nostalgic sensation
while looking at the vast sea. The waters are sparkling as the moonlight hits the sea water it feels
like home”. Callista sighed and smiled so beautifully.
After they talk to each other, they both stand up facing the breathtaking beauty of the sea,
Nathan asks Callista if they could start their food travel but after some months so they can both
prepare and fix their personal stuff before going. Callista nodded her head slowly and looked at
Nathan with a big smile on her face and said “Sure let’s fulfill our dream”. The next morning
Callista says goodbye to Nathan because she needs to prepare and ask her father for their
upcoming travel all over the country. Nathan felt a little sadness because they couldn’t spend a
lot of time in the village but Callista cheered him up because they can finally do the things, they
want the most. They hugged each other but Nathan’s sad face can’t deny what he really feels.
“Come on Nathan smile!” Callista stretches out his face and Nathan can’t ignore her that’s why
he smiles so genuinely. “Let’s meet in the bus station outside the village after 2 months”. Nathan
patted Callista’s head and said “Sure I’ll wait for you there”.
Months passed so quickly and Nathan looked in his belongings remembering what he
could forget and after that he went out in his house, bid a goodbye to the village and to the
people who will handle his business for the meantime. One of his trusted friends accompanied
him up to the bus station and they bid goodbye to each other happily. Nathan can’t take off the
smile he’s wearing because of the excitement he feels while waiting for Callista. After some
minute he heard a very familiar voice coming opposite of where he is looking, he smiles so
widely knowing who owns that very joyful voice. He faces the direction where the voice came
from and there, he sees a girl who wears leather boots, skinny denim jeans and an oversized
black shirt that looks really cool and that is Callista waving from the other side of the road. They
look at each other and wave their hands excitedly while shouting “This is it; Let’s go, food is
waiting”.
In our life all the problems will always try to take us down, be strong, positive and learn to find
hope in you and to others. In our darkest night there will always a star that will shine bright and
will give light. - NATHAN

"RIGHT DESTINATION"
“Breaking news: Deadly viruses that can be a cause of death of a single person for over a week
are spreading within the not known city here in our country. It is the cause of apprehension
around the said city especially in Cupang that set as the nearest place to it”.
Three months earlier…
JOSH: “Hi guys! I miss you all so much! I’m taking my leave as my past operation has
succeeded. Christmas holidays was coming. I’m here in my hometown. What’s our plan?
I clicked the send button. And after a minute my phone rings, at first I wonder who it is, so I
quickly answered it and found out that Vanessa is on the phone. Another five faces pop up in
the screen, my heart was very overwhelmed as this conversation is a treasure and memorable
because these people are not only my friends, yet a family. They speak one by one, gave their
schedules and free time for us to plan our next travel, hang out and for the celebration of
Christmas Eve.
MARVIN: “Bye guys! Hope to see all of you soon. I am just busy these past months because
bunch of patients arrived and I know you all understand me since it is our duty. Love you all!”
Minutes after Marvin said those words, we ended the call. So me after I realized that sun is
about to set, I prepare my meal. I cooked my favorite adobo dish, but since I’m alone because
my parents passed away when I’m in college and my siblings have their own families. It will be
my meal for two days. I used to go here in the place where I grew up for the memories that I
want to remember. I can say that those experiences here are unforgettable, since it was the
reason why I continue life and still reaching my dreams, especially to serve my fellow
countrymen. It is the reason why I’m a professional doctor and has a mission to cure and protect
people around me with my full capacity and ability.
Around four in the morning I woke up, I packed my things and ready myself for a long ride travel
because this day we will be going to the place where many people dreamt of. We will go to
Palawan as we decided to have a vacation there. At 6am we arrived at the airport, we also have
our tickets and waited for our flight. Jewel volunteers herself as our tour guide since it’s her third
time going to Palawan.
JEWEL: “So guys! Don’t worry about this vacation. I assure you that this will be going to be our
best vacation ever. I’m handling the hotel and all of our destination in Palawan, but for now just
relax and wait for our flight.”
As the excitement sparks on what Jewel said, the only reaction we gave to her was laugh, smile
and a sign of approval.
VANESSA: “Noted sis, we know that you will take care of us and what else that we became
doctors, if we weren’t aware in the word care.”
JOSH: “Yeah, I agree. That’s true.”
After those discussions and conversations, the time has passed and our flight is about to begin.
We picked the long abreast chairs in order to support each other and share our snacks. I offer
the sweets and chocolates I have to regain some energy along the whole travel time. I always
have candies and mints when I have a long ride because it makes me feel alive and energetic,
especially when I feel dizzy and sleepy. I also offered my extra jacket with them.
JOSH: “Hey everyone? I have here an extra jacket, just tell me when you need it.”
CAMILLE: “Bro, can I barrow? This jacket of mine was slightly thin and I’m freezing right now.”
JOSH: “Yeah sure! Don’t worry about it. You’re all free to use my stuffs here.”
MARCO: “Thanks bro! You’re truly a reliable and one of a kind person I have ever met.”
CAMILLE: “Yes, I agree with you bro Marco.”
Due to a cold temperature brought by the air condition, almost all of us fell asleep. We woke up
before the airplane landed on our destination. After a few hours, we arrived at the hotel where
we will be staying to have some rest before we start the true resting point and relaxation. We
also took our lunch so we can arranged our things and clear up all we need in the remaining
time. We will stay here for almost 2 weeks and the only thing in my mind was to enjoy every
moment and unwind myself from the challenges of life. Time was ticking so fast, every single
day was the most special day of my life. The waves are so relaxing, the sunrise and sunset was
incredible, the places and the foods are so good and most especially the people are nice.
We really enjoyed staying at Palawan, 2 weeks is worth relaxing for us. Me and my friends has
each own memorable experience, for sure we will go back to this place. On the last day of
staying at Palawan, we had a sharing of our different experiences in life. We had a sharing for
us to connect to one another and hugged each other before we leave this place. As we are in
the plane, we are watching television and breaking news flashed about virus spreading in the
city of Alabang.
“Breaking news: Deadly viruses that can be a cause of death of a single person for over a week
are spreading within the city of Alabang. It is the cause of apprehension around the said city,
especially in Cupang that sets as the nearest place to it”.
“Reporter: According to the experts, the virus is an airborne that can give severe rashes to the
skin if not prevented or given first aid kit”.
CAMILLE: “We need to hurry! I think a lot of work and patients are waiting.”
VANESSA: “For sure we had a lot of work to do.”
Our plane landed in the airport and waved goodbyes to each other. Before I go home, I went to
the convenience store to buy some food stocks and necessities. As I came home, I had a
headache probably because of the jetlag. I went to sleep to rest because I don’t feel well. The
next day, I woke up with a heavy feeling and feel cold, that is why I decided to go to the hospital.
I message my friends to inform them that I am in the hospital, I am not feeling well. The doctor
took some test on me and they found out that I am one of the carriers of the deadly virus. I was
isolated, given first aid kit and told me that no one can visit me unless cured.
“Breaking news: Asian Hospital has one new confirmed case of the new deadly virus. According
to the doctor, the patient went to Palawan and the last place he went is a convenience store
near his house. They say that he got infected in the convenience store”.
MARCO: “Hey guys! Did you hear the latest news? It’s him.”
CAMILLE: “OMG! I knew it! Based on the descriptions of the reporter I know it’s him.”
VANESSA: “I also had goose bumps when I heard it’s in Alabang, he is the one near on that
place.”
On the next day, my friends planned to meet to talk about helping a friend. But the others didn’t
agree and back out because they know that they could risk lives if they help a friend.
CAMILLE: “I agree to help, his our friend so it is just the right thing to do.”
MARCO: “I’m sorry guys but I couldn’t risk my life just to help a friend.”
VANESSA: “I would like to help but it may risk my life. I had a lot of things to do.”
JEWEL: “It is our job to assist patients caused by virus. So why can’t we help our friend?”
“Breaking news: Increase of confirmed cases and death amidst the virus spreading in the City.”
Jewel and Marco assists the patients. Vanessa contacted his connection and other friends in
helping the invention of vaccine. Camille is talking with the government regarding their needs in
fighting the virus and looking for a cure. Marvin assists his friend in the hospital. After all the
arguments and realizations, they decided to help their friend and their community in order to
prevent the spreading of the virus. After a month of struggles and challenges, with the help of
people’s kindness, they invented a cure. A day after, they started to vaccinate the people to
their community, however, a bad news came to them and startled them because their friend
died.
Month has passed and things get back to normal, this is the only chance they had to visit the
grave of their friend.
MARVIN: “Hey Josh! Long time no see. What happened was terrible.”
JOSH: “Yes, it’s true, especially for what happened to our friend. Yet, it is a pleasure to tell the
story of his life. ”
MARVIN: “Yes his life is worth living. But I can’t accept that Vince will leave us too soon.”
JOSH: “Vince’s life story was unforgettable, memorable, and inspiring because he is one of the
best persons and family that we ever had.”
VANESSA: “Let’s just pray for the soul of our friend. We did everything that we can to save his
life and the others.”
CAMILLE: “His inspiring story will be remembered.”
JOSH: “The most important thing right now is that we achieved the right decision and
destination of our lives, I know that Vince is happy and proud at this moment on what we did.”
For the last time, all of them wished that his soul will be at peace and bid goodbye to their
friend.

able to provide their needs, he needed to work hard and think of a strategy on how to make
money. He even did some illegal things, like gambling and selling things that has some defects
but are not noticeable in order to help his parents for their fees and bills. This young man named
Jonnel promised to his self that he would be successful someday, finish his studies, and build his
own company and business.
But a lot of struggles came to his life, even his life in being a college student was not easy
for him. He saw his parents struggling to provide their needs and budget their money for the
bills. He decided to be a working student, in that way he would be able to earn money, at the
same time to study. A lot of risk came to his mind, but it did not hinder his dedication to put his
life in prosperity as well as his family. When he went to an interview, the interviewer asks him
why they should hire him. He couldn’t think of a great answer that's why he failed that
opportunity. He tried again and again in several different companies but he couldn’t give his best
because of his unfinished activities and needed school requirements. After a long trial to find a
job, he definitely found a job that suits his capabilities and skills.
Jonnel gave his best and work very hard for almost two years doing his job. He slowly
bought the things he wanted, especially the things that his family needed. He eagerly wants an
improvement of their lives. He treated his self every day with his favorite food and drinks. Also,
he spoiled his friends with the things he couldn’t afford before when he has nothing. He bought
his dream cellphone and shoes because those are the most important possessions he needed for
his work, as well as to his studies. But a sudden pandemic came worldwide, many job
opportunities are being closed and lots of businesses decrease their manpower to balance the
economy. The decrease in manpower happened, causes the company to be included where Jonnel
was working. He constrained to leave his job, yet he continues his studies because less than two
years he'll graduate already. All his hard work will be paid off and honored.
His friends made him realized that if he quit studying, he'll regret it for the rest of his life.
That’s why he decided to continue even his situation was tough. Also, making good friends keep
you free from stress or depression. His friends helped him a lot to be a better person. They
always motivate him at times of misery. From all of these struggles, he believes that he can
survive through all of this. He positively took every single challenges as an opportunity to
overcome the battles, he always smile and grateful despite of this intricate world. He always
wanted to make his friends and love ones happy to the best that he can, because he sincerely
wanted to become a source and reason of happiness. Also, the greatest thing he always dreamed
of is to have his own family who has a simple life with an endless happiness, peace, and love. He
desire to travel and make unforgettable memories that will make him satisfied and fulfilled.
He always ought what is best for him and every one around him. He is a selfless man, and
would do everything for them regardless of nothing in exchange. It shows how great a man he is,
with a big and humble heart. He will be a good role model to his future family and will
appreciate him for his hard work and kindness. Being kind and humble make people’s lives
prosper. Harming no one will only give peace and love towards each other. His only desire is
that everyone will be at peace and be loved by any one regardless of their status in life. He’ll
keep doing his best even if he reached already his goals in life.

your actions. Kelly said.
Mother shocked on what Kelly’s behavior. My God Kelly you are being selfish. You did not think how
worried I am to you. Mother said.
Shut up! It’s because of you. You always treated me like a baby; you want me to do what you want you’re
manipulating me. Kelly said while crying.
Kelly where did it coming from. Mother said and she hit Kelly’s face using her hand for the first time.
Suddenly the surroundings became quit. And Mother felt guilt after what she did to Kelly.
After several days before the two talk again. Kelly asked for forgiveness after she realizes that it is wrong
raising your voice to your mother or her capability of raising a child. Because there is no such thing as
that will worth as a Mothers Love.
And Mother also asked for forgiveness to Kelly, she now more open to Kelly. she realize that Kelly has
grown up now and she need her own life.

"WHEN FOOD IS LIFE"
When food is life. What is food? A food provides nutrients and substances to human it usually
come from animals and plants. Food It is the most important thing in every living things in the
world and we cannot live without it because food is one of our basic needs in life. And it is not
just important as we though its also gives joy and happiness to someone who have cravings for
something to eat. There are many kind of food around the world that are traditional and the
newly discoveries like delicacies and a different kind of dishes that truly are delicious and
satisfying. Foods that to be proud of, especially in our country where there are many different
kind of ethnicity that has a secret dishes that inherited from their grandparents or elders ,It is
common for us Filipinos that knows how to cook.
I grew up in a family who make dishes that are really taste good. Although may parents are not
really a chef but I can tell that they can cook well, and sometimes they hired as a cook if there is
feast in barangay, the food they cooked satisfied to someone who eat it especially me. And
when both of my parents died I always looked back the taste of their cooking. My father grew
up in Bicol and I remembered one dish that he always cooked that is really good it’s called “
adobo sa asin” or “adobong bicol” it was originated from Bicol. “Adobong Bicol” is a very simple
dish it has only 7 main ingredients which are Pork, Salt, Water, Pepper, Garlic, Bay leaves and
oil. And the way of cooking is very simple as well, only have to do is put all ingredients together
and let it simmer until the water evaporated and fry. Very simple right? But the taste of it is so
good, and it can store up to one week even though without using refrigerator. I really idolized
my father the way on how he cook, because he make the dish taste really good. I wanted to
cooked as good as my father, and this is the reason why I don’t like eating common Filipino
dishes because I always compared the taste of my fathers cooking.
My friends says that I am a picky person in terms of food. And they said that when I say it was
good trust me it is really taste good, and when I say it wasn’t good its not. This is because when
I get disappointed the taste you will never expect me to have it again. I every time I eat
everywhere I always critic their food, it is worth it. Because when food is not good, how can a
person gets happy while eating it. When we saw a person happy and satisfied our food it makes
us happy too. Sometimes I cooked for other, and when looking at them while eating and
enjoying my food that cooked it really gives me a joy and eagerness to cooked more delicious
food. Just like my father.
I remember when we are having ramen, it’s in a huge bowl that one person are not able to
finish it. Although its quit expensive but the taste is really good. While eating I read some of the
instructions that says, “no sharing of ramen and no using spoon and no left over.” and I was
like how can I can finish this with my own. The reason why? The instructions comes with an
explanations it says that In Japanese culture it says that when eating a bowl of ramen you
should finish it up by your own, you are not able to share it with others, and only using
chopstick and for the soup it has to sip from the bowl with sound. Eating ramen in this way
makes the chef satisfied and happy. Just like when we eating something we are happy when it
taste good, I am not into an expensive cuisine, in a fact I always tried buying in a different
carenderia looking, is just that it did not satisfied me. I want the feeling that I can say out load
that “hmmmm sarap naman nito”. Like “bibili ulit ako nito.” That’s make me satisfy.

"SOMEONE WHO BELIEVES IN YOU"
Jack and Jill were good childhood friends. Their path crosses at the wide woody and wild forests for the very first time. They became friends since then - they treat each other as a family, not by blood but through souls. They had a lot of ups and downs and memories to cherished together yet after some few struggling years, both completed their studies and went apart and take their own paths.
Jack, once called the good boy, achieved his dream profession. It is one of the most diverse and versatile field at engineering - mechanical engineering. And hell yeah! It was really a once in a lifetime career where he designs power-producing machines as well as power using machines. He became one of the most famous mechanical engineers in New York and it provides him strong annual salaries. Despite of being at the highest peak of success, he just continuously frittered away his life and his fortunes taking up an immoral habit of practices such as alcoholic beverages, cigarettes, drugs and he is also a well-known womanizer committing sexual immorality.
At the other side of the globe, jill worked so hard to be able to put forth effort toward a certain goal. And that is to own a vast hectare good for a farm not just for herself but also for the whole community. The planet needs nutritious and affordable food and that requires thoughtful and intelligent people to grow it – and that’s her! She believes that this world needs someone like her. In the fullness of the time, she set specific goals and standards so she can work out her farm. And in just a month of dedicating lingering, it is sufficiently good, enjoyable and successful to repay her effort, trouble and expenses.
Early in the morning, Jack was awake by a loud snooze from his high-pitched alarm clock telling it is already 7 o’clock in the morning. “Argh! Yeah, I know I know!” He scornfully covered his annoyed face by his malleable squared pillow. “Aish! Could you please give me another five more minutes?” He exclaimed resentfully. He slightly crumpled his eyes while yawning stretching his arms wide open before he turned off his blatant clock. He went back lethargically like he is pulling of his king-sized bed. He lie down once again on his crib but as soon as reach the climax of his fantastic dream, a very rambunctious bang from his door makes him stood and jumped out of his cradle. “Now what?” he said ostensible. “Son! I think you should stand on end now.” It is his dad who summons him on the other side of his bedroom’s entryway. “Come on dad, can you please knock?” he responded annoyingly while scratching his head. “Come on son! It is already 7 o’clock early in the morning. Are you just going to take a load off and fucked up the rest of your day today?” “Yeah, whatever dad!” He no longer waited his dad to counter his immature reply then he shut down the door then started fixing his self for another sunrise-to-sunset working day.
Same time of that busy day, Jill woke up early before daybreak to get ready to grind for another productive day at his hustling farm. She ascertained that she will be doing good today in managing all the works in the land for its maximum fertility. So that, when the crop ripen, they can orderly harvest it by hand, combine or mechanical pickers. “Today is the day to lead and guide ‘em in caring the crops!” She exclaimed. “Good morning Miss J!” greeted by Juan, a young maintenance and repair boy who is responsible for upkeeping the farm. “I did tighten the loose fences.” he reported. He is sharp as tack in many kinds of labor that’s why Jill trusted him so much. “Wow! Job well done, Juan!” she complimented. “Day by day, you’re doing better. Keep it up, kiddo!” She smiled at him then proceed at inset.
“WHAT’S THE MATTER WITH YOU JACK?! YOU’RE NOT GIVIN’ A DAMN TO YOUR WORK ANYMORE!” YOU ARE NOT LIKE THAT BEFORE. YOU WERE ONCE THE MOST SENSIBLE AND WELL ARTISAN BEFORE!” shouted by Jack’s officer-in-charge directly to his frowning face with a sharp glare towards his boss. So obvious that he is suffocated by the scenario. “I apologize but I think you cannot feasible this project anymore. You are fired.” “You can’t do this to me freaking old man.” He rebuttals. “Yeah we can. Why not?” giving him a smirk before walking away from Jack. “Let us see if you will survive that fuckin’ stupid project without me and my power.” he mumbled as he left the company. After he got fired, he recured from life-threatening vices. And that’s how he spent his life. Days, weeks and months had passed and his life is becoming worst until he loathed his continual nonsense practice and decided to have an out of town to take a break to a place with a peaceful ambiance. He immediately packed his things up and started driving.
“How I wish I could be that young good child again.” he bleakly chuckled as he lay down on his bed at vacation house. “Oh well, gonna spend these weeks with a chill.” he sighed and head to nearby coffee shop. “1 Caffè Americano, please. Thank you!” then he handed they payment. “Kindly wait for a moment at this table, sir. Thank you!” and the polite barista guided him to his table. As he sat down while scrolling through his smartphone, he suddenly heard a gleeful voice from the counter. “Good morning, Miss J. I’ve been waiting for my fair-haired customer today!” “HAHAHA, still a facetious young boy. Please give me a Blonde Vanilla Latte.” she replied with an over the moon. “Aye! Aye, Miss!”. Unexpectedly, Jack was surprised to hear the voice, he known it very well. He peeked at the lady waiting at the counter and he is more wonder-stricken to saw who it was. “Jill?!” he exclaimed aloud. “Jack? Its been years! Hey how you doing pal?” giving an expressions of pleasure as she saw and walk towards the directions of Jack. “Oh well hi. You look gorgeous right now. You are no longer that crybaby girl just like the old days.” he responds with an unbelief tone. “Uhm, I am already a mechanical engineer. Didn’t you hear some news and articles about me? I am one of the most popular identity at New York.” he continued. “Ooooh! Cool! Well, here I am. I already owned and managed a farm in this town. Wanna come and take some visit? Guess you’re on a vacay?” said by Jill with a convincing tone. “Farm? What an inferior profession. But, sure! Lemme see your farm.” stating it with full of indignity.
Jack offered a ride on their way to the farm. “So, tell me, what are you doing in a place such as this, your majesty?” he asked while looking directly at the uneven surface of the road. “Oh well, I found my purpose here. I enjoyed here. That’s why I stayed here for good.” respond by Jill without even looking at Jack. “Purpose, eh. What a concept?” “Yeah! Purpose. The reason or feeling of being determined to do or achieve something. If you dig deeper, through that purpose I am capable to make others happy. Spending time as much as possible with them to make this world a better place.” Jill explained with full of hope. “Corny! What we have here in this world is nothing but an unfair system and toxic people around us. You had to trust no one. Because in the end of the day, you only have yourself.” Jack looked at Jill like he knows what’s right. “In the end of the day, it is you who will believe in yourself, in what you have, and in what you can do. Because no one was truly concern about you. It’s you, all by yourself. If I were you, you should take my advice. I’ve been there.” he continued. “Well, I cannot blame you with that. You had a good point anyway. Now tell me, what are you doing in a place like this Mr. Engineer?” A moment of silence enwrapped inside the car between the two. “I’m having a break.” he started. “A break? From what?” inquisition of Jill while sipping on her coffee. “I am on my downfall as of this moment.” obviously averting the dialogue. “Come on, spill it. I can lend an ear, just like the old days back then.” Jack too a deep breath then started to tell the whole story. “It was really a fantasy when I achieved my dream profession, which is to be a mechanical engineer. All my life, I worked hard for it. I spend my whole life for it. Yet, the worst part of here was when I started to lose from track. I used to take vices such as alcoholic beverages, multiple boxes of cigarettes and drugs. I also used to be involved in multiple times of wrong relationship full of immorality. I became a womanizer and a heartbreaker. I no longer find my purpose. It seems that I am living my own selfish ways. Little by little, my life was ruined. And now, I don’t have any idea on how will I started again from the very beginning, on how will I fix everything. And yeah, that’s how my life went.” He narrated hopelessly. “I see. I guess that was really a sad ending. But, you know what, despite of what had happened to you, there’s still hope. I guess you just need to take some time to evaluate yourself and to check something out from those painful experiences. And yeah, you’re right when you told me that at the end of the day, you only have yourself. My tip, take this opportunity to heal, my dear friend. You have to help and lift yourself up. And don’t you worry. I am still here to believe in you. I know you can do that and become the better version of yourself. You just have to be patient and work it out.” Jill recommended believing that she can convinced Jack. “Yeah, I guess so. I’ll try.” “Don’t try, do it.” And again, silence engulf inside the car between them.
Days and weeks had roll down, and Jack follow all the tips and advises of Jill. He started to evaluate his self. Separating right things that gives value to his life and surrendering negative habits that deteriorating his life. He also cut off his connections to those ladies that leads him to sin. Jill helps her to brings out the best in him, finding his purpose and creates a better vision. Then, it started his life to change from nothing to something, from zero to hero, from better to best.
"You know what, dear, sometimes, we don't need to have a luxurious life and luxurious things just to make ourselves happy. I had realized that sometimes, what we really need is someone who will believes in us and respects us. And, thank you for being one, Jill. Because of you, I found my purpose and I had a changed life better than my life before. I know God allowed us to meet again intentionally so that I'll be no longer slave to sin. You are just not a friend, but a family who truly cares. I owe you so much. How can I pay you for this?" Jack asked Jill." Pay it forward, Jack. Just pay it forward. Do to others what I have done to you." and Jill gave her sweetest smile. Few months later after their encounter, Jack went home." Good morning dad! I miss you!" he hugs his dad so tight that seems to be the first time." Dad, I just want to ask for forgiveness for what I have done before. I promise to be better this time. I love you dad!" Then, Mr. Johnson hugged him back, "I am so happy you're back again, son. You're forgiven." After that day, his relationship with his dad was restored and Jack was now back right on track. He spent his life doing the right things, multiplying his self to others. And that's how he made his own legacy.

"CHANGES IN MY LIFE"
I was once a typical girl who has no sense of purpose and no sense of vision and direction who wants to live her life to all its fullness. And now, let me tell you the bewildering and remarkable tale about how my greatest friend reversed my life from nothing to something.
Few years ago, I could say that my life was worst more than I could imagine. I used to live in a being full of immorality, wicked behaviour, foolish acts, ideas and habits. I irreverently took vices such as alcoholic beverages and smoke intensely day by day. Involving in wrong relationship becomes used to me where it feels like I am just playing with every man’s feeling. But, all of a sudden, having brought to an end, the life I’m enjoying and living was causing me wrecking unhappy and discomfort and displaying severe degradation and neglect. What makes my existence least good here is when I attempted to kill myself for so many times just because I am suffering from mental turbulence caused of hopelessness. I cannot find my way back on the right track.
One day, my suitor asked me if I am available to hang-out with during Sundays, 9am, which is of course my free time so, I said yes in response without even asking where are we going. Oh well, as if like I care that time. And you know what, that first Sunday started to change my life. Upon arriving at the venue, we are being welcomed by two pretty ladies as white as snow outside the spacious site. As we enter, it was full of flickering lights that enticing on my two big black round eyes. There is loud banging music of praises and worship inside. And the whole crowd is dancing gracefully and singing out loud for what they called Lord. Omo! It was a church. At the back of my mind, I have in mind this ridiculous and humorous thought, “What am I doing in such a place like this, a place where righteous people gathered.” I felt a feeling of embarrassment and inconvenience. I am not used to that kind of ambience and scenarios. After the service, I am planning to kick my friend’s ass vigorously but there’s a big chubby man draw near to me. He asked me how was my day, how was my experience during the service, and a lot more questions and it really bombarded me. I just responded that it was fine and answered all his inquiries shamefaced. Yet, little did he know, I felt something I have never felt before. Despite of that annoying experience, I did not even notice that I come back again and again to sit in on the service, lending my ear to the pastor in the pulpit. Yes, it became my habit. I started to create new atomic habits that add value to my life, I also started to read His words day and night. My so-called friends used to call me Holy Shit but I ignored them and continue what I am doing telling myself that this is the right choice I had ever made in my existence.
And the most awaited event on my life suddenly happened. It was a three day encounter or what they call youth camp. Three consecutive day without any connection from the outside world. That three day event that changes my life forever. There we tackled the life of Jesus and how He gave His life for His dear friends, which is us people. I used to know Him like I never know Him before. I used to experience Him like I never experience His presence before. And I used to love Him like I never loved Him before. There I also used to realize how important life is. How important connection and influence are. That living in miserable life is not fatal and final. There’s always a chance to take a choice and make a change. Honestly, I burst out so hard that the flowing never comes to an end. And there, I found my safe haven and a true friend.
From that day on, my life has a constant change. I started to cut the ties from people, habits, scenarios and wrong decisions and started living my life full of purpose and vision. I let that Special Friend of mine to take total control of life. He, who orchestrated it.
And that’s how I live my roller coaster life right now. Embracing supernatural life with a true friend who will never leave me till death do us part.

There's not a word yet for old friends who've just met. A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down. Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together. A friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future, and accepts you just the way you are.
Good morning, folks!
