Women can call men for sex as much as men call women for it

Thanks to this woman who knows and says what she wants Wives, slaves, whores, objects. Those are words that used to describe women of old times. Fathers, brothers, men of yesteryears used to sell their women and marry them for a price. It did not even matter which family a woman was born into, rich or poor, she could never escape the fate that had been laid out ahead of her. She could not say no to the plans arranged for her. When she wants something, she could not even ask for it because it is viewed as an act of boldness or indiscipline. She could not decide who her husband would be or not say no when called for sex. She is expected to oblige and not say a word, no matter how disgusting or painful it was. Men had little to no respect for women back then, until she started speaking up for herself and fighting for freedom. She is fed up of being treated poorly, unfairly and used so she demanded equality. After centuries of defiance and discourse, she was finally allowed to expres...

What can I do?

-
In the midst of poverty, injustice and chaos All over the world and in my country Though I am small, weak and unknown Please tell me Father what can I do For all those people suffering and struggling From diseases, from hunger and from pain Though I am young, alone and poor Please tell me Father what can I do From all my depression, fear and guilt That I may have been greedy and selfish For I could't help them or make a difference Please tell me Father what can I do

A throwback to a massacre(a 17-year old me has seen)

November 23, 2009, I just came home from a long walk with better thoughts in mind. Thoughts of  peace and freedom. Things that I came to think of as I've seen the little children playing and running along. The happiness in their faces with the gift of freewill and their freedom of expression were enough to fill my heart with hope of a better nation. Tired but inspired, I rushed to the living room for a rest only to find out upon opening the television a deteriorating truth. A news was being broadcast showing how a person hungry for power could end hopes and dreams of many people, people who are just fighting for their rights and enjoying their freedom, people who represent peace and justice in our country. They who risk their lives to present truth to their countrymen. Responsible individuals who take chances to pursue careers big enough to help more people in their community. photo from inquirer.net These are the people who were inhumanly and ruthlessly murdered by a bunch...

For a lost friend

-
To my friend who knows black as the only color there is To my friend who only sees darkness all over the place To my friend who only has sadness written on his face It is normal to sometimes feel empty and worthless To my friend who's struggling and beaten and hurt To my friend who is tired of hiding all his dirt To my friend whose life has been a bit too hard It is in these times that we learn and be wise To my friend who gave up without putting a fight To my friend reading this in front of some light May you use that hope to live through the night Instead of thinking about ending your life Stop being the victim and wasting your time Use your shortcomings to win any strife If all things were simple and pretty and nice Would you know the value of anything right?

Ecstatic Escapades

Let’s go! It is my favorite phrase and my favorite thing to do. I love to travel, to discover new things and meet new people. More importantly, I have always loved to go far, to go forward and to go on living. Nothing sounds more appealing than an escapade with a loved one or with friends. It brings me a lot of joy and excitement to know that I will be embarking in a new adventure, even if it is just for a day or two. Like riding a super fast car that brings so much adrenaline rush and thrill, I get all sorts of emotions and hopes all of a sudden. The take off has always been my favorite part. I feel curious, excited, hopeful and alive all at the same time! I get ecstatic knowing that the journey would let me see new things, new places, new faces and eventually make new friends. Along the way, I let myself be one with the track I’m drifting in, enjoying every moment and learning new things about myself and about life. I can go anywhere my heart and mind decide...
