i've been liking him for three years... and counting.

this has been more like an obsession than just simple crush.

i don't think that this is love. this is just an illusion. 

an illusion that causes me pain, and my heart has a tiny tiny bit of ache.

tolerable.. yet disappointing.

wondering how i can let myself feel this negativity when it has already been made clear to me that he cannot be mine.. not even in my dreams.

he is an Indian national who believes in the practice of fixed marriage. he already belongs to someone else.

let us respect each other's talents.

I may be an amateur but that doesn't mean that my works are nonsense.

it just so happened that you do not know my love story... you cannot relate. but that is not my problem.

do you think that your comment is a constructive criticism? hell no!

those are the words of a person who doesn't know the true meaning of camaraderie...

i am here in order to  be trained, to read comment that will help me in improving my works, my skills and myself.

Who am I?

Who am I? I never really knew who the real Jeazelle Salunga until now. I turn a year older every 29th of December, and I’m currently seventeen. I give thanks to the people who gave me life in this world, Ralph and Monica and I feel grateful for having three wonderful siblings: Joezelle, Joyzelle, and Ralph.

hmmm.....pakiramdam ko ang swerte ko... nakatagpo ako ng isang taong tanggap ako sa kabila ng mga kakulangan ko... sa kabila ng mga kapangitan ko....

pakiramdam ko ang swerte ko... kasi nag eeffort sya... hindi katulad ng iba...

kung sakali ako ang magiging unang gf nya.... ang swerte ko kasi wala akong pagseselosan....

kahit magaganda yung mga crush nya nung hyskul sya, hindi ko magawang mainsecure... madalas kung titigan nya ako ay tila ako ang pinakamagandang tao sa mundo....

I just want you to be with me,

Couldn't that be?

I just want you beside me,

And make you happy.

A wish so simple,

From a heart, oh so humble.

My lips always tremble

as I cast the pray'r I always mumble.

If only I have the power

to turn this pray'r into an answer

then you will become my lover

and we'll last forever.

If this wish couldn't be,

then there wouldn't be,

you and me

forever, happily.

Sa pagtakas ko sa mundong ito,

Sa pagtungo ko sa ligar na pangako,

Maari bang ikaw ang kasama ko?

Iiwan natin ang lugar ng kaguluhan,

Katahimikan ang paroroonan

At wagas ang ating magiging kaligayahan.

She also became the literary editor in Philippine Collegian, with Celedonio P. Gloria as the editor-in-chief.

The objective of war has always been peace...

Then I wonder why, the battlefield has so many splatter,

Always flooded by the blood of the soldiers?

One tribe will lose and the other will win

But both will fight like lions from different prides.

As the winning tribe shouts its victory cry...

The losing tribe may just want to die.

Oh Mars! god of war, can't you just stop this endless fight?

Or we'll just wait for war to finish?

Then bury the corpse at least?
