10 Silhouettes of Violations

     We have our own dark secrets. And some of these are the violations we have committed. Admit it or not we all have done something unnecessary to society. At some times these traits of ours depict something in us that sometimes even we; ourselves, can't explain. 

    Silhouettes. It is defined as 'shadowed contour' or just simply as a shadow. A shadow appears when there is light and grows as the light moves in a different angle. The shadow is that gloomy feeling that anyone can feel. The light is that confident and zeal part of someone. But in every success tells a different story.

    The Valley of Violation. Filled with violations that I have committed. A summarization of what I believe I have done in the past 15 years of my entire existence. Many would question this violations. Especially the last part;because even I - myself, am not sure of it but I feel it.

    Cheating. First part of the valley. This is where mortals feel a 100% guilt in themselves. Cheating is a usual trait in every student. Guarded by the so called 'Judiciousness'.  Covered with dark clothes (still signifying the shadow) and eyes that seemed to follow you wherever you go, even without them moving it. They stand on top of the what seems to be a broken stone bridge. Two of them at the two ends guarding anyone who wishes to escape while the other is on top - making the overview. Anyone who passes the boundaries shall feel that burnt in their eyes even if there is really no fire is set to it.

   Tardiness. Moves and reacts slowly. I feel such tardiness in the way I think. And I believe that it is something not worth having. This part of the valley is guarded by a tall bulky man with horns as long as a bulls'. A friend of the Minotaur's. The mortals are to 'run' endlessly in the steep stairs. If one were to stop he'd feel the horns attack him at the back.

   Clutter. To be placed in one of the hollow holes. Filled with all the mess that you made ever since you lived. And is to be cleaned by that same person. There are no guards since it is too deep that only wall climbing creatures can come out.

   Carelessness. They are to walk endlessly on the string like path. They must not be 'careless for they might fall and repeat. None has so far succeeded. No guards are assigned, since it is not needed.

  Offensive Words. Speaking or telling things direct or indirectly offensive. With closed mouths they are to be trapped in the skulls. With small space they are sure to feel that 'I-don't-want' feeling. Hands are tied together to make sure that none shall hurt each other verbally nor physically.

   Lost of Confidence. No such punishment is placed since it is not their fault for being pushed down but for not trying, they are to stand individually at each post in the valley for everyone to see them.

   Slight Lose of Hope. The ground is shaking like there's a earthquake with a magnitude of 10. If one loses hope in living their feet are forced to walk off and let themselves fall in a what feels like eternity but is really just a split second then they will quickly go back.

   The eight path is Sadness. It has three barriers namely:

• Seclusion - when one has felt too much miserableness they seclude themselves from everyone. Not wanting to make 'contact'.
• Apathetic - losing of interest on anything or even anyone. And slowly has the feeling of dying since they have that thought that their lifeless.
• Neglect - losses all the caring towards others; even oneself. 

   Forlorn. Sad, miserable, dejected, despondent, unhappy, hopeless, desperate. All those combined.
   Lastly is the Minor Sanity. Trapped in a dark empty room. Away from anything and anyone. Sadness overfills the mortal that makes one want to feel insane. Feels all that miserable thing and wanting to hurt oneself and shall not hesitate to if he sees any sharp object. Though having a minor sanity, one still has that hesitation in suiciding since he is still in the right thinking.

   10 violations that I myself have experienced. And from one to be free of all of these struggles is to find that light that will and can guide us to a straighter, much brighter path.

   
    

Stepping To Junior High

    

          Playing under the sun, being with relatives and slacking a bit are some of the things that us kids do on summer. We tend to find the funnest things to do and make it worthwhile. But then again, all those fun and relaxing stuff has to come to an end. School is coming and summer is waving it's goodbye. It's time to challenge ourselves and strive to study harder. But actually, fun doesn't really stop here, it's just beginning to start.

          The frightening silence of the room was disturbing as our adviser stepped in. Because of this, several things came up to my mind; questions like: "Is she an easy to go with teacher?", "A strict adviser; meaning is she scary?"or "Someone who's normally not around?". Whoever she really is I'm quite excited in a happy way,well ironically from what I expected. I also hope that the other teachers aren't that scary.

         In Ma'am May's time, we exchanged some laughs as she explained the things we're about to encounter with her for a whole year. It was utterly fun to see that our adviser was full of zeal. She also advised us that we should treat the room nicely and all of those do's and don'ts. Well as far as I know I might be coming across greater challenges this school year, but whatever those may be I'm willing to face them.

        Knowing my classmates was rather easy for me since I'am already familiar with all of them; well not personally. At first I though I wouldn't get along that well with my classmates but, my first impressions aren't really that right most of the times. To be honest the first two weeks of school was fun. I was quite determined that making a nice impression with my classmates would be easy. Having a nice impression on the first day of class is a must for me and I'll be trying to keep it that way till this school year ends and so on. But of course, that doesn't mean that I have to fake my attitude. This school year I will totally be me, our adviser did say that she doesn't want plastic's in the room especially with her students behavior.

       This year would be loads of fun. I bet it'll be harder, more sleepless nights and trials but challenges are challenges and this is life. And if ever I make mistakes I'll accept it and learn from it. I won't be running away hence I shall face it. And I know that God is here to help and guide me through out.

A calm day at the school. (At the left is a heart shape leaves.)
