War, in Two Perspectives
Isidro was covered with soot from all the gun powder that was used. His fellowmen were quickly dying one by one. I just have to keep fighting and stay unseen by those Japanese soldiers. The women and children were spared, for a while. However, once the door of each house closed after a couple Japanese soldiers went in, Isidro could hear the screams of the women and the nonstop cries of children....

Short Valentine Excerpt
Valentine’s Day is fast approaching and I’ve recently decided to write a short story about Valentine’s. I used this idea for the first tutorial lesson by The Write Practice. If you love to write, you should really check them out!
Denice walks into the school gym, wearing her midnight blue glitter dress. She scans the room, looking for Riley and his date. She wasn’t able to...

I Love My Dad
I love my dad because he’s my dad. It’s that simple.
No matter how serious he may be, no matter how strict he may be, he’s still my dad and I’m still his daughter.
He yells at me for doing something wrong. He yells at me for not doing something right. He gets mad quite a lot, but he still loves me, I’m sure.
He’s really strict with time. Be late and...

Turning Reality into Fiction
Well, that’s kind of contradictory isn’t it?
What I really mean is writing personal experiences and making it seem like fiction.
That still won’t be totally fiction would it? Because it was based on real events.
What would that bring about though?
If the person who read that story found out that you wrote your experience with him/her, would he/she be mad? Happy? What?

Finding Your Dream
Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with your life…the most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don’t.
Everybody’s Free (To Wear Sunscreen), Baz Luhrmann
A quote I always try to remember and etch in this thick skull of mine.
True, I’m not yet 22 or 40. I...

Searching for Work
Maybe the word work isn’t the most appropriate term for it. A job, maybe?
In about two weeks, I’ll be graduating from a university at the age of 20. It’s quite early compared to other countries but that’s what makes the Philippines different.
It’s been two weeks since I submitted my resume to different IT companies and I’ve already been interviewed for two....

95 Questions to Help Find Happiness
This is an old post on Marc and Angel Hack Life but it’s never too late to actually answer these questions. I’ll try to answer one question each day, maybe two if the answer is quite short.
So, here goes.
In one sentence, who are you?
I am a girl named Unisse who loves her family and friends, aspires to become something amazing and is extremely childlike even though I’m...

Passion, Creativity, Learning
You know that feeling when you learn something new and you realize you might have a knack for it so you go work on being better everyday? The feeling of passion burning inside you. The feeling of wanting to learn something new each passing day.
Lately, I think I’ve lost that passion of wanting to learn and pursue something that I used to love.
When I discovered the art and fun in...

Marriage and Children
Why do people get married?
Is it because they just want to get married to someone, for the sake of having a partner while growing old? Is it because they want to have children to care for? Or maybe it’s because they just love each other?
Honestly, I don’t have the answer. I’m currently 20 years old and way too young to even think about actually getting married. But that...

A poem, or what-not, that was written almost two...
Gone
Waiting for someone,
Who can make me smile
Looking for someone,
Who can comfort me
Someone came and tried
Yet I ignored them
Now I am alone,
Waiting for something
That is already gone.
Wrote this last August 2010. Found it while going through my Fictionpress account. It’s full of weird stuff! I remembered why I wrote this, but my current feelings aren’t the same...

Make or Break Questions
Ever asked someone a question and found yourself in an awkward situation with that person?
I have.
Thing is, we all have hundreds and hundreds of questions in that squishy pink (or gray, whatever its color is) thing hiding inside our skulls. Yes, our brain.
We ask questions everyday. Some have simple answers, while other are quite complex. Some are considered taboo questions in some parts of...

Jealousy and Insecurity
Everyone gets jealous at least once in their life.
Well, usually more than once. It’s quite inevitable, don’t you think?
We normally see our flaws and other people’s talents. In the end, we compare ourselves to them, one way or another.
I have to admit I’ve been quite acquainted with the green-eyed monster already to know how insecure I am about myself. No matter how...

On Bad Guys and Nice Guys @ Thought Catalog →
Been going through random posts on Thought Catalog, where there are posts about almost anything you’d like to read.
Some are inspiring. Some will be like an arrow right through your heart with their straightforward tone. But overall, it’s nice reading something frank and directed to a lot of people but can still apply to you.
Well, this post is quite old already but I do stumble on...

One Stupid Thing
There’s a question I remember, though I’m not entirely sure if it’s correct.
“Why do moths go to the light if they know it will hurt them?”
I can somehow relate this to how people behave.
Sometimes, when we know doing something will end up hurting us, we still do it.
Why, though?
Why do we still do things that will eventually hurt us?

Is Ranting Ever Healthy?
I’d have to admit, I do rant.
I rant about lots of things. Friends, family, enemies, and situations that really make me want to kill someone. (I apologize for being so violent.)
But is it really helpful?
Sure you get the anger out, but is it really the right way to let your feelings out?
When we’re upset or mad at someone, shouldn’t we tell them? Talk things out?
If...
