Seeing Orhers

In a persons life unforseen and predicted calculated and sometimes hypotheaized events to come or may it be in the near future, some significant to remember some has no bearing what so ever are unknowinglly reasons for a persons self mold the somewhat abstract individuality that makes such person that individual. I have come to learn through this journey of life I am in that one can not define ones self even though that person know its self for as the saying goes "Rome was never build in a day" so much as a person. As life goes on that person continous to develop, grow and learn in order to live, survive florish a peaceful content happy life without regrets. This being said that person is moving forward, instead of platoing while it rides the ever changing stream of life.

A Long Awaited Answer for the people's comment

   First and foremost I would like to apologize to all that gave their comment on the oratorical piece and the same time thank you so much for your comments. I started this blog as a therapy for my depression because at that time I had just lost the love of my life, my husband. Honestly I would sometimes peek to edit one of the post I made but for the most of the decade since my blog was created, me posting rambling thoughts, I had never, even once, in all that time look at the comment section since I never thought that this post of mine would be even catch anybodies eye, until now. To all of those who had commented my deepest apologies for taking a decade before answering your question. The reason that I kept this piece was that this was the ONLY piece and type of contest I had won. I tried once when I was grade 3 or 4, I just froze my stage fright was traumatizing that I never, even I my nightmares, would think of going up on stage and recite anything. I won this oration I was already 3rd yr. high school and the only reason why I became a contestant was my fluency in English to top it off my teacher made sure that I was the last of 10 contestants, like adding the cherry on top, I was the only one who had a different piece to orate. and that was not the least omnimouse thing happening on that contest I was challenged by a well known seasoned timer contestant hogging all the gold medals from balagtasan, talumpati and declamation. Me being a carefree person I did not know I was the reason he represented his class on that contest. It was brought to my attention the next day of school. After that I never again went up in any stage.

  To all those who had placed their comments concerning the oratorical piece, to be honest that piece was not written for an oration it was written as a speech for winning the presidential position of school council in Ateneo back then. To those who said it was a great piece, well I could not agree more because the author of this piece is the son of my only idol in the field of journalism, in my opinion to which I can proudly say and would not accept any contradictions, the great Louie Beltran. My English teacher gave me a cut out from the editorial page of Manila Bulletin it was the one that was printed on the side of the page.
