TROUBLE-FREE

"Words are not enough to express my true feelings for you. My world was once in astray but it changed dramatically the first time I met you. Before, I was always in the wilderness searching for something, searching for someone, searching for myself. Everyday I always make it a point to go back to that wilderness hoping to find answers to my feelings of emptiness. But still nothing happened. So one time, I decided to search for an entire day promising myself that I won't go back till I find what I have been looking for. But I guess luck was nowhere to be found. Nothing was falling into place. I was so enraged and furious because the sun is now starting to hide yet nothing is happening. Not even a single clue was there to be found. After a whole day of searching, my body was now in total fatigue, tired and feeling of hopelessness. I needed water to fill in my thirst. And a much needed rest to regain my fading strength. Coincidentally, I saw a bizarre yet magnificent river. I was so delighted and overjoyed that at last I could now drink gallons of water to satisfy my lingering body. I was so dumbfounded and astounded by the serenity and tranquility of the river. It made me appreciate the true beauty of the outside world, its simplicity and quietness. Then I made a comparison. I hope my life was like that, uncomplicated and trouble-free."

aka OSWALD

*before I turned fifteen this twenty-first of the first month, let me share with you who really OSWALD is.

I am known here in my jail as the Prisoner of Freedom but when reality strikes..

Oswald Fabi-Sablay is the name. I have first seen the beauty of silver-colored moon of the nocturnal, due to the reason that I wasn’t born when Haring Pebo is brightly showing his mighty rays on the 21st day of the year 1994 (January 21, 1994) under the Zodiac sign of Aquarius. Grew up being guided and raised in a Catholic manner. Hitting the books in St. James Academy since Kinder up to now (studied in San Bartolome School in Nursery) wherein I am currently residing in one of the five rooms used by the sophomores, II - St. Margaret and soon will be a resident of another room.

One of a kind student on account of he is enthusiastic, thrilled and excited for college, believing that he will be actually standing on his own, in a sense of living on his own and deciding for his own sake.

Can be defined as a IDEALISTIC but only dreams of things that he can achieve and things that he won’t be disappointed. A HARDWORKER, he always add hundred percent to the expected hundred percent that he will be exerting, making sure that he will be successful. A SURVIVOR, knowing that we all live in a world that demands things more than the expected, he still know and manages to deal with all the obstacles he encounter along the way to his SUCCESS. But to best describe him to the utmost of everybody’s knowledge, he is SUCCESSFUL and will continue to be successful in life, with all the given distinctive “titles”.

“I am OSWALD, ready to face the world and bold
enough to say I can do it no matter what!”

I only have few dreams but I think that my dreams are peculiar for a teen, I think I dream of unusual things. To name a few is my studying in University of Santo Tomas and having my own condominium unit (the moment I enter college).

Known by public that I am an ardent aficionado of UST. No other person can be as passionate as I am. And in a matter of few years, I will be a certified Thomasian at length.

You would usually see me chasing words to complete every critique I do. You would also see me wasting my time all throughout the day slouching in the couch while my eyes moves from left to right, understanding and analyzing each page of my precious bound-collected-leaves. A self-confessed sophisticated guy, living a life on limelight; overly affectionate for procurement what’s in and what’s hot. Believes that glamorous life can also be obtained by guys and does not only limited by gals. Remarkably known for balancing life to it’s fullest.

I am OSWALD, proud to say and shouting I am living, dreaming, believing, striving to surviving in this ferocious world which demands a lot of thing to be a successful person. I am OSWALD, not a hoi polloi, an imitable guy but still, feet are planted on the ground. I am OSWALD, BELIEVER, DREAMER and SURVIVOR.

TEXT MESSAGE

“Minsan palpak ang buhay, unfair, malungkot, talo or sablay. Minsan nga bagyo at maulan pa. Pero kahit ganun, dapat rise and shine pa rin ang drama. May kakapitan naman e… Lakas ng loob, tiwala sa sarili at pananalig kay Pareng God. Malay mo, ginu-good time ka lang nya para minsan maki-jamming ka sa kanya. Malay mo ibibigay na nya yung matagal mo nang hinihilinh at si Destiny… (yipee!) Kaya dapat kahit maasim ang buhay, put some sugar to make it sweet from a bitter and salty day… (altight)”

This text message was sent to me early this morning by a friend. At first, this text message just look like an ordinary message of inspiration. But if we look deeper into it and dissect it, we may extend the meaning of the message.

“Minsan palpak ang buhay, unfair, malungkot, talo or sablay. Minsan nga bagyo at maulan pa.“ Life always comes with suffering and sadness. A person cannot live in happiness alone or cannot live in sufferings and sadness alone also. Life if balanced, often said.

“Pero kahit ganun, dapat rise and shine pa rin ang drama. May kakapitan naman e… Lakas ng loob, tiwala sa sarili at pananalig kay Pareng God.” Life may not be as wonderful as we want and may have lots of unwanted things to come or happenings, we should not lose hope. We can survive this if we have the courage to face every problem, believing in yourself and most important to always call God because in Him everything is possible.

“Malay mo, ginu-good time ka lang nya para minsan maki-jamming ka sa kanya.” All the unwanted things and sufferings are all challenges given to us by God to measure on how far we can go with the flow and how strong our faith is.

“Malay mo ibibigay na nya yung matagal mo nang hinihiling at si Destiny… (yipee!)” He will give to us our greatest desire in our life will be we have strong faith in Him and believe that He will grant us what we want in life.

Kaya dapat kahit maasim ang buhay, put some sugar to make it sweet from a bitter and salty day… (altight)” Don’t be reason of your own downfall in life just because you can’t take the “unwanted things” in your life anymore and can’t survive but instaed take it as a challenge. Just lessen your negativity in life and think of positive thing that will eventually be reason of you success.

THROUGH IT ALL!

In this day and age, we live on a life that is hard to face. We live on a world where it suffers from global crisis. Every poor nation becomes poorer. Deprived families became even more deprived to live. It seems that this world is only for the supreme and powerful and meager doesn’t have. The face of the earth seems to be struggling.

Through it all, are we still be strong?

I think and we should be!

Through all these episodic-true-to-life catastrophe, sometimes we want and we tend to run away, trying to escape from this irritating life. But just imagine life without all these trials. Do you think we can be as strong as we are now? I think not!

If your havoc mind keeps telling you’ve had enough of all these problems but your heart keeps telling don’t give up! Who are we to be questioning Him! Do you think God will give us such problems that we cant handle? It’s a big no-no! Things will get better if you believe in Him.

Don’t be a prisoner of the past. Past is past. Move on. Yesterday is never today. From all the not-so-good fateful, we should take it as a lesson to never repeat that or to know what to do. If you fall just stand up again, learn from it and live your life again! Let your heart be your guide and let Him be your guide.

I ponder that the perfect formula to pass all these obstacles is strong faith plus perseverance plus your heart’s conviction plus a little wit, we can surely pass all the problems that we have. If we us this formula things will get better.

Don’t give up! You got it within yourself! Just try to find it inside yourself and surely in no time you will be surpassing your problem!

Through it all just stand up!
