Wow- how is everybody here on DA?
I know I've been dormant for a long time but now since our connection had been fixed, I could visit DA anytime I want. I apologize for my friends that I had not talked to for awhile.
(who's now deactivated his account) I am so busy with school and I still have difficulties managing my time, especially now that we go on duty in the hospitals for exposure.
anyways, I hope to submit my works as soon as possible. Thanks, folks.
Always take care.

As the year ends, I just want you all to know how I deeply respect each one of you. Between 2012 and 2014, I made a lot of friends. Great friends. I could never ask any more from God for he gave me the best of the things in life.
There were changes. Changes that were intended and those that were inevitable. Bad or good as it seemed they were, every thing played a part. Every thing is a process of becoming what you are now.
Some of you played as my Encouragement, Some of you as my Confidence, Some as my Hope and some as my Wisdom. I could never thank you guys more.
Someday, we'll never know, I may passed away without anyone of you knowing. It may be by an accident or intent but all I want for you guys to know is that, I don't want anything left unsaid. To be honest, I am not yet satisfied with my life, I still want to have the things I still haven't had. But you know, I'd be glad if all of you would know that I am happy to meet, watch, and be watched with you guys. Its one of the things I'd look back and say that I am contented. We shared deep thoughts and ideas. Sometimes even our life. It's nice to have people here in DA that you'd turn to as the day ends. It's nice to have a mini-family. lol
Things may change in this coming new year but I hope it will always be for the better.
HAPPY NEW YEAR, FOLKS
I wish you all the best for 2014.

“Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before! What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas...perhaps...means a little bit more?”

This time is probably one of those time we reminisce everything we've done throughout the year before it ends. I don't know if it's exciting or saddening when we take out those boxes of Christmas decors from the storage room/attic and say "time surely runs fast" or "i could still remember that it was just the welcoming of 2013". I always feel it too. Mostly I was sad. The previous years of my life was nothing but a tree standing still and I hated it. I've ask God so many times to change the course of my life. Maybe win a lotto ticket, or a trip to somewhere undiscovered before, or probably get discovered and be famous, anything, just anything to get out of that pause of time. Anything was better than a life standing still I thought to myself. Trust me, I've almost given up. Everyday, single routine and no change. Until this year came. I've met the most amazing and the loveliest girl. I have not ever expected that she'd become my girlfriend and I am so happy with her. Who would knew that that first smile she cast upon me, and that single wave at me on the first day of school would lead us to where we are now? Man, this year I could finally write the best chapter in my life. I know that this could be the start of change. I've waited for this to happen. Though, not this much because this is insanely amazing. All my life I've never had that someone to wake up for every morning. I mean, gosh- It's really true with what they say that if you ever find that person, you could not imagine anymore what your life back then was. So, probably this is what the best thing happened to me aside from having the great circle of friends outside and on Deviant art. I'd love to thank you all for being there for me and who were always supporting me. I'd wish you and all your families a very warm Christmas this year. Happy Holidays, folks.
PS: i do visit DA when I visit the internet 
I may not be able to update anything but anytime sooner, I could probably submit new arts. Thank you, folks.
Merry Christmas to all of you, again.

Raising The Bar Of Excellence
4 min read
(This is a practice of writing an essay given to me by a teacher because i was told to compete for the National Book Week Celebration this coming 23rd of November. See if I did good- I need feedback. I need to impress my department. I am entrusted to represent my whole college department and I am only a 1st year student, I have no experience of competitions as such. If you would add some details and info, I'd be happy. Please, I need help with this. I have to make sure. I couldn't back out- I wasn't given that option, I'm just to see if I am really capable of doing it. damn, I talked too much. This always happen when I get nervous and worried) Here it goes..

Excellence is about being the best we can be and maximizing our gifts, talents and abilities to perform at our highest potential. We're always told that if something is worth doing then, it's worth doing right. As what the poem of Tim Duncan said, "Good, better best, never let it rest. Until your good is better, And your better, best."
One word that all of the Filipinos could relate to. Procrastination. It's Strange how this word could greatly affect our lives, our standards, how the society and how we see us, ourselves. This often leads to frustration and sometimes ridicule from our detractors because there is often a gap between what we believe our lives should be and what our lives actually are.
Why raise the bar? well, for starters, if you want to succeed or reach your goals you need to do more if its not enough. If you do what you have always done, you'll always get what you always got. If you want more, then Raising your bar of excellence to that point will mean doing more, being consistent and laying it all on the line. Raising the bar of excellence does not come in easy. It takes the form of commitment. And when we say commitment, it comes with great responsibilities and sacrifices. It also takes effort, time, your concentration/focus, patience, and self-discipline as well. Of course nothing would work and stays long without self-discipline.
Why be average when you are capable of excellence? Why must settle for the least? Think about the feeling you'd get from a particular performance well done. That moment when when your name is read and as you crossed the stage and handed your diploma, or getting the kind of fitness you want your body to have, the moment you get yourself accepted to a university or an audition in a play or a contest perhaps, getting the position you have ever wanted to have or getting the love of your life. All these things, you could attain. You could reap the awards, you could reach success, you could have everything you always want.
Note also that excellence isn't solely about success, measured by how much money or notoriety we gain. This is where most of the people go wrong. Success is definitely not excellence if we've stomped on people en route to our goals but excellence is about contributing our best to the world while evoking others to do the same. It's about understanding our place and making our mark in the world, as we attempt to make it a better place. Excellence is about contribution and honoring others as we move forward towards our vision. Excellence lies in the hearts of all who evoke it in others by mentoring, supporting, exemplifying and giving back.
