"When you live forever, what do you live for?"
That's from the upcoming movie Twilight. When I passed by that movie poster in SM Manila, I suddenly thought of my coming birthday. I'm 16! Sweet 16! Another year older but a way lot younger. And so I modified the statement above, turning it into:
"When I have decades ahead of me, what do I live for?"
That question was partly answered by the movie my classmate lent me last Saturday. It's called Moulin Rouge, and here are the answers that I got:

That question was partly answered by the movie my classmate lent me last Saturday. It's called Moulin Rouge, and here are the answers that I got:
- Freedom
- Truth
- Beauty
- LOVE <3
I am looking forward to being more independent in my decisions and actions, hoping to be liberated but not fully emancipated (for I still need guidance). The feeling of being solely responsible for the things that you have done will enable me to really keep in mind the lessons that I will learn from my deeds and judgments. Maybe it's the thought of going to college with not so many to lean on for support that made me think of being free. I want to fly and explore everything the world has to offer.
Every man sets out on a journey in search of something. It may be treasure, knowledge, wisdom, serenity, etc. As for me, I think I am looking for the truth. I want to know the real reason of my existence, the true purpose why I am here, and who I will actually be tomorrow. Am I just a somebody who has no definite destination? Where am I heading now? Do I really know myself? Who is the real me? So many questions and yet all I have are meager answers. And so with another addition in my age, I hope that this, together with my conquests, will bring me closer to the truth that I am searching.
Each one of us has to admit. Beauty may be superficial but it is still of great importance. It is the real reason why we pick the best clothes, why we take a bath, why we put powder on our faces and why do we look everytime in the mirror. Because even though we do not say it aloud, some part of us tells us that we must achieve it. Beauty. I have never aspired to be a beauty queen or goddess, I just want to reach the point where I will be confident enough not to feel any hesitations or impediments because of the "I'm ugly" thought. That's all. And when you don't have the "I'm ugly thought," suddenly your self-esteem arises and you become confident. Look at the great effect of Beauty upon us.
Love. If you're going to ask me if I have ever been in love, I will say, "Yes with my family, God and friends." Sounds cliche, doesn't it? But I haven't really fallen for somebody yet. At least I thought I haven't. I had only come close to a crush and getting that giddy feeling when that person passed by me at the corridor, school quadrangle, etc. But that was before. I could only recount what I felt and that was just about crush. How about love? I wish before I get matured and everything, I get to experience what they call "puppy love." I heard that of all forms of love that exist this is the cutest, freshest (find all words with -est in the end). I am not excited or anything, but I do not want to miss it. I hope that you will not perceive me as a love pariah or hopeless romantic I just want to know how it feels to be in the shoes of other people who seem to have conquered the world when you look at their lovestruck faces.
[I know that if ever somebody who knows my current affairs ever reads this post, I bet 101% of the Php1.50 I have on my friend that that person would surely want to rip my head for blatantly lying. But I am not, sorry. Do not believe entirely what your eyes tell you, you might just be mistaken in the end.]
It's just Tuesday morning and I am ranting about the things I should be reflecting on my birthday. Anyways, I have to sign out. Bye.
