Yesterday, after going to church, I decided to go to the cinema and watch a movie at SM Mall. There were many new movies available but I chose to watch the Pinoy horror film, Marita, co’z I saw a positive review on TikTok mentioning its scary and startling scenes. I enjoy horror films and marami akong scary experiences in the past, so I am accustomed to them. Before the movie started, I felt calm and not afraid. I have been avoiding caffeinated and energy drinks for a month to para maiwasan ang palpitations ng malala. If I recall correctly, the movie was expected to run for about two hours. When Marita began, I experienced a strange sensation, as if something was pressing down on my chest. My heart started beating fast and I could even feel it para akong galing sa pagtakbo ng matagal. It felt like my breathing was affected as well. While watching, I tried to figure out if it was just the sound effects or if my anticipation of the story being based on a true story was causing these feelings pero sanay naman kasi ako manood ng katatakutan. It felt like something was urging me to stop and leave before the story ended. I felt uneasy, which was unusual considering my familiarity with horror movies. At dahil sa hindi na rin ako mapakali, I checked the time and there were still 30 minutes left, nasa story na yung nasabing multi ay nagpaparamdam na more frequently. I made the decision to leave. I didn't mind wasting my money na 😅 dahil sa it was the first time I sensed some sort of danger if I continued watching. According to others who have watched Marita, the image of Marita stayed in their minds even after finishing the film, even while sleeping. Eh saktong Monday na ulit, balik sa dating gawi. Magpapa alipin na ulit sa trabaho. Bawal mapuyat hahahaha

Although I didn't see the ending, I couldn't help but wonder how it concluded.

reading [riːdɪŋ] and writing [raɪtɪŋ]

How is it that two words with only two little sounds between them feel like the harshest oxymoron in the world?

We readers all remember that one pivotal moment when those black letters on white pages suddenly meant something. Before, there were so many stories in our heads and around us, fleeting and playful. But now, those letters meant entire worlds pressed onto thin sheets of trees like those flowers we would have to collect for school. And those worlds would soon become more important and real than anything else around us, an escape, a comfort, when life was slowly beginning to lose its magic. Our adventures, best friends, first loves were on pages, always there for us, a lifeline in the storm. We hoped that one day we would write our own stories, but then we studied the authors, dissected their words, and learnt just how perfect they were and how inadequate our own attempts would always be. Pens and empty pages became instruments of torture. So our bookshelves grew, and the stories in our hearts shrank. And we had resigned ourselves to never bridging the gap between those two words.

Readers, find those stories again. Find that little human that was so eager to dream and play. Because reading and writing are actually an auxesis, and your stories are always worth telling.

📍Redemptorist Parish Curch, Cebu City

Recently attended the final mass of 2023 and had several profound insights during the service led by a foreign priest. the importance of caring for and loving our aging fathers. It is crucial to exhibit patience and kindness towards them while they are still with us.

Secondly, parents should allow their children to make choices and follow God's will. Children are gifts from God, and we are entrusted with the responsibility to raise and prepare them for His purpose.

This reminded me of the experiences of Mary and Joseph when they temporarily lost Jesus as a child.

Lastly, I grasped the significance of forgiveness, particularly within the context of family relationships. Forgiving and letting go of grudges can lead to a more harmonious and joyful start to the new year.

These realizations have left a profound impact on me and will contribute to a lighter and more meaningful beginning of the upcoming year.

May the year 2024 bring us hope and may God shower us with even more blessings for a prosperous and productive future.
