My Treasure Box

August 20, 2016 Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf Robinsons Magnolia Quezon City Dear Coffee Mate,          They'd say 'forgive and forget", things in the past are called history. These are done and time wore off, it's emotions included. But the essence is there, the substance, the things we've learned, the lessons we took are forever written in our hearts. Yes, we fought, we've had quarrels, bot of us had negative feelings. But we must forgive, for we are not made to fight all the time, we are made to shelter one another in times of hardships. We tend to forget those bad times, but what's important is that we became stronger. History is a brief description both learning and resiliency, as well as test. But more importantly, it produces a whole new person and relationship with a transition of pain and sufferings but ended up great.

Each day we wake up, each day we do and try accomplishing tasks, each hour we tend to spend in a useless act, each minute we abide by rules around, each second we learn and each millisecond our heart pound, another story will take place.

a reflection by  Sophia May Moscare                                Grade X- Earth              Everything we do creates memories. It just depends upon us to keep it or not. And from our past experiences, we tend to learn and try not to do it again. What we have gone through made us stronger and taught us to become a better version of ourselves. Our past might be hard to forget, but it would always be our choice to live in it or to just go and move on with life. 'Cause life is full of surprises and enjoying it is the best thing to do. Let us not let anyone rob us our own happiness, not even ourselves. Just think of today and choose a life that's worth it. Worry not much about the future, instead enjoy what you have right now, create memories with the people you love, because life is so unpredictable. The future you are thinking about will soon be your present and w...
