Get Out

The race is near it's end
So close yet so far away
The walk is still so long
How long do I have to stay?

I shall face the game, though
I've done the wreckage. There's no
other option. I have
no choice. I cannot go back.

If I could go back in time
Faster than speed of light
I wish I've grasped this little time
Then I could have made things right

Yet as long as this walk
Hands of time ran—in my fall
My curling's final end
At the far point I have fell

I want to get out of this
Face myself through needle's eye
My target might be missed
But let me get them done

Imprisoned to own fault
Struggling standing up and run
High ranks, seeking no more
Last salvo under the sun

Break me out to exit
Probabilities are here
Possibilities, it
is out of my hearing ear

Take me out, let survive
Yet I know I shall face this
For a lesson in my life
To wake up my sleeping me

To get me out of my pride
To get me out of myself
Bring me back to the Guide
Not just out of what seems hell

I want to get out, get done
The sand at glass drips away
Keep me strong; this hard
phase help me go through, I pray

I look at You, while I
face the odds and beat them down
Drive me to finish line
Let me outlast, and get me out

My Tracks of The Year: 2023

There is a segment on a radio show airing on mid-mornings on BBC Radio 2 in the United Kingdom, where for an entire week (Monday to Friday) a celebrity guest or a well-known personality shares his or her favorite songs, most of which have defined one's life and career. Hence, the title " Tracks of My Years ." I find it a very interesting concept for radio, since songs tell much of one's journey through life. And even in just a span of a year, there's much to tell about someone in songs. With that, I have thought to put a twist to the aforementioned concept and share with you those tracks that mark moments, circumstances, and sentiments throughout the soon passing year. I got many of them from my Spotify Wrapped playlist , but I also selected some within the wide range of what I discovered this year. I'm delighted to share with you "My Tracks of the Year" for 2023. (Scroll past the following Spotify playlist as we go through each track.) 1. Through T

Akalain Mo 'Yon?: Reflecting on five years at work

The last time I have written for this blog is back in 2020, early during the lockdown, and I even at that time I have lost the appetite to sustain the posts. There were a lot of things that happened since then that could have prompted me to return to this blog, but it took five years of a career as a Special Features Writer, then Assistant Editor, then Editor, to bring me back to this blog; and I'm not even sure I can return with another blog post afterwards. For this post, I share my thoughts about those five years at work, which I'm still amazed I had the patience to endure . I wrote all that I could reflect about those five years. I feel that even those aren't enough. But to anybody who's reading this, thank you for your time. — Akalain mo 'yon? That's what I say to myself in every work anniversary so far. But this time, I think I shouldn't stop with that question. It was five years ago when I started writing for a living, typing in front of a computer a

Adrian The Silent

Source: http://www.katarinaforss.com/img/silence.jpg I know it in myself. I cannot deny it. Many people, especially very close friends in high school, see me as a talkative (at the least) and engaging guy. By timing and exposure, I get to speak and talk and converse among people. Yet, many still have an impression of me as the opposite, and I don't deny that. At many circumstances, I'm silent. Quiet. Static. Loner. But, silent is the best term I'll accept. Perhaps this is one of my marks of being a writer; a mark making my desire for writing really fit to me; perhaps the reason why I'm inclined to make my voice heard through written words rather than spoken ones. But, believe me, I want to break that silence. I've already did that before, but I want to do it again. I seek to break the barriers that are still there, and have more connections while still being myself. I've recently heard and learned that it is said that there are 4 personalities in general: sangui
