Feature Sorcerer’s Meeting: Life doesn’t end here

03-29-11 EPISODE 5

                                  I am a writer. I do write. I love to write. I cannot live without writing.

                               It amazes me when the world curves down its lips making a sad face while I, with all smiles embracing the world with happy thoughts just because I have written a piece, whether engraved with grief or happiness. I make memories when I write or vice-versa, memories makes me write. Happy memories, sad memories, epic memories, name it I have written all of them down. Writing is an extension of my life or shall I say these words while I am still breathing, “The body may rest six feet under but the writings and pieces will always be there lingering for keeps, touching people’s lives, and making a difference within them”. It will be history.
                              I have written a hundreds and among them are 3 great articles that relentlessly give me an impact whenever I read them all over again. First is my Twisted Thoughts Editorial Column on our school paper, this serves as the groundwork in all the techniques and styles that I apply in writing. This is where I build an image, a character, a façade and a reflection of myself and my views on the world. Second is my autobiography which is constantly changing, after all life is a series of changes. It is a total package of who I really am and covers all my stories. Lastly is my very own Feature Sorcerer’s Meeting, The Saga, I consider it special because it gives me a kind of feeling that drives me to write and write some more. I put my heart into it that’s why I create MAGIC as well as LIFE.

                              With daggers not as sharp as looks, with books not as thick as my face, with songs not as harmonious as my unsounded utterance, with words unspoken, with pens and papers which speak on my behalf, and with all my heart’s sincerity, I thank you, *you-who-must-not-be-named* for bringing back the burning passion of my passion. You serve not only as an inspiration but also a living testimony of my works. Soon with God’s grace and guiding light, I can hopefully publish my very first book and it will be dedicated to YOU. :)

   
                                  With all the love this world brings,

Feature Sorcerer’s Meeting: A GLIMPSE


03-10-11 EPISODE 4


I haven’t seen you these days but in one simple meeting you made me realize a lot of things.

One look can say a thousand emotions. One stare can make or break a person. In my case, it did not break me but it almost broke my shoes (HAHA!). One simple meeting could be so momentous with all the factors that could make it momentous. A small hallway, a bulky bag, a pair of shoes that is going to be worn out, and a “yagit” face (I don’t know the English equivalent of it. HAHA!) What else could be so momentous than that? Simple things do matter and every detail is important, a trifle shall I say. Little do we know that what is simple in our eyes is the one that matters the most and the one that matters the most are those things that brings happiness in those simple yet momentous incidents.

Our eyes are the windows of our heart. It makes you see wonders that will meet your heart’s desire. It makes you see things beyond your reach. It makes you see the spark that is not even there but is very visible in the eyes of a person whose delight is beyond compare just seeing a person that makes her day the greatest day of her life.

*Speechless* but I already have written two paragraphs. (HAHA!)

       One look, one stare, one gaze and one glimpse are the common denominator of my insufficient equation. It may not be so broad as Fourier analysis, linear systems theory, linear algebra, complex variables, differential equations, and probability theory. It may not also aid stuff like designing, integration and application of circuits, transmission processing information, amplifying electronic signals, adding binary numbers, and demodulating radio signals like most engineers do but I do believe it will inspire a person to do more and will become more.

                                                                                    With all the radiance in one’s eyes,
                                                                                    FeatureSorceress ♥
