Furry Black Cuddlers

So now, the kittens have grown. :)
From a palm-sized black kittens, they are now almost as long as my arm.

They love to cuddle and play more. :))

As it Gets Clearer and Clearer

Oh, yes. This is how dramatic one can be in her way towards that day. 

I have an extreme mixture of emotions whenever I think of it-- that march on the isle with that conventional music of graduation. Almost four years back, I was a freshman with an intense culture shock to what life college has to offer--you have your own schedule, everyone's on their own, you need to be independent, pursuing amidst terror teachers, learning to communicate with people of best differences, and most of all sticking to that goal-- you know you can (and hopefully WILL) reach at that finish line of this certain chapter.

I cannot enumerate each and every lesson I have learned by the book and not by the book, made up of those simple yes and nos, elaborations, exhaustions, fulfillments and what not. But most of all, I believe that what I have learned best at this time is to stand up for what one may believe in. And I mean-- by what 'I' believe in. It may not be mostly of this world, but I am humbled by the grace and strength given to me by my Creator over the days, months and years where I even have thought of loosing that end. He gave me the courage to believe that in His time, in His beautiful time, things will bear fruit. He did not promise that it will be easy, but He promised me that He will not forsake me all through out (literally). And I am overwhelmed, still, with that. 

Now, I have this picture, this blurry picture, of what will be in the months to come. And it will get clearer and clearer on that special day where I guess, an overwhelmed sigh will best describe it.

The Mediocrity of Clichés

A cliché can sometimes be mediocre.
It can also be a proof of unrelenting will to do what ought to be done.
It can also be a mere repetitive action that is neither mediocre nor good.

And it can also be tiring.

In the sunrises that pass, in every dawn that breaks,

The minds grow ponder on what ought to be and what is
And one can only determine fully what is until he finds it himself.

We run to pursue further.

How will you obtain if you don't know?

How will you posses if you can't go, pursue?

How can you hear if you're not willing to listen?

How can you find if you don't seek?

Can you understand if you knew?

Can you pursue if you possesed?

Can you continue listening if you keep hearing?

Can you find if you sought?

One must keep telling. One must keep pursuing.

Because someday, one may know.

One day, one may listen.
And soon, one can stand up.

One may understand.

One may lead.

Your own clichés will always be a cliche if it is done for the worth of doing it alone. 

Know that gist. Understand that process.
And committedly pursue that goal.

And mean it.

That Benefit of the Doubt?

Cheating is too mainstream. How about being an exception? Or being faithful?

But what happens then to friendship? to cooperation? to team work?
Or.. to true friendship?

Should it be proven (or is it proven) to the extent of providing answers to him and try 'help' a friend in need?

When is too much, too much?
Or when is enough, enough?

Or rather discipline a friend you know is in need but not tolerate his mishaps so he'll learn a lesson,
and maybe next time improve habits?
Or defy friendship and prove an untrue friendship and betrayal?

However, why do you do it secretly if you know it is for teamwork? Or it is for better friendship or better relations? Is it because it is wrong?
Or the stigma has just been established so well that it became so bad?

But in the first place, why enroll in an insitution (or educational system) where cheating is prohibited? Why not be in some place where it is legal and do the ninja? So everyone shall pass and prove their high capacity to do the ninja? But is there such a place? 

Some are just slowly making an underground education that demises the real one. It starts with these dilemmas, with these issues--- until we graduate and it happens in another level --- in the real corporate world, in the real deal of government chaos. That's why corruption happens. That's why backlogs occur. That's why stagnation persists. The interest is not real, it is not pure.

I can only speak for myself. I can never persuade others to the bridge I am standing. We have our own choices that define our lives at the end of the day.

You choose. You have all the right. It's just choosing a white paper to a black one or maybe choosing the grays and be matched to any other. 

Or you may also choose and be the opposite. It's really your call.
And it will always be your call.
