I REFUSE THE APOCALYPSE
I found myself alone at Starbucks recently. I recalled every great thing that's happened to me this past school year. I've realized that I've been beaten and bruised since I've fought hard beyond words. In short, I never imagined I'd be where I am now.
I guess I'm very lucky and I should thank God for every drop of this sweet life I'm living. He's given me the courage to say without restriction or fear 'I love you' to a few people I really love. Funny, only a few really understand while the rest are lost in the clouds.
Some recent events changed things again. I was shocked at what happened and I ended up hurt, but then I thought about love in an unconditional manner. In my book, when you love someone you have to be able to set them free to make their own choices in life even if it means that you're not included in these choices and plans.
That's one of the hardest things, to be able to set the people or person you love free. But I don't want to hold the people I love in restriction or confine them. So if it is their choice to leave me, let it be. If they shall return, it will be with God's grace and I will be even more thankful.
All I can say to these people is that 'I will be here' for them even if they choose to fly away. They don't need to hear how much I miss them or love them, because beyond words, it's my beating heart that says it all and they know it.

And six was a buster
To my colleagues in Heraldo Filipino, I have admitted to you my honest mistakes as a Copy Editor for our last broadsheet issue. I know a co-editor says I have the same weight of academic requirements that she has, but it's not true.
Aside from advancing Media Ethics this past semester, I have a larger responsibility in our production requirements since I've directed and produced much of them. It was also on my own passion for broadcasting that led me to direct a news program, produce two short films, several news segments, and a documentary program.
I know I have not been the best editor for HF and that I am uncertain what the staff or Editorial Board thinks of me. I can be the usual Kuya George that brushes into the office to collect articles or the George who is soft-spoken and projects that neutral attitude. But I will never be the George who is reckless and irresponsible.
Congratulations to everyone at HF, we have finished six broadsheet issues and released them within the two semesters. I am proud of you guys.
