Saengil chukha hamnida, omoni!

No matter how long the years may have gone by
I'm still missing you every day of my life
I can't help myself not to cry
Longing to be with you... by my side


How I wish you're here with me...
I still remember how happy we used to be
I wish I have someone that I can be with, atleast to freely see
How I envied my friends  everytime they're with their family


Though I have no regrets coz I was able to let you know how much I love you and how much I care before you left this world
Yet, I wish I could talk to you and make you stay...
Tell you all the stories about what I've been through
Of how I learned my lessons...Of how I survived, it's all because of you


I know I can always count on you whenever I needed it, in every way
You were my best friend, my mentor and someone whom I look up to
But until now, I can still feel the emptiness of the thought  that you are forever gone
What can I do? I don't have a choice but to let you be free from bearing much pain and struggle that we knew of


I know deep in my heart, you would have also wanted to be with us while we're growing up
Yet, all these things are next to impossible since God has let you rest from all your burdens
And without a doubt,you're at peace now with the angels singing with you
Celebrating a new life with the Almighty...to whom we worship and offer our lives to

Ma, you beared all the pain just to let me experience the joy of living into this world.
No words can express how grateful I am to you.
Hope every word I wrote into this poem will reach you...
This is my simplest way of saying I LOVE YOU.

Chongmal saranghae, omoni...

Happy 47th birthday!

That's how an essay goes

In this world that we are living in,violence and  crime have been a usual content of every day's news. However, have we tried to reflect within ourselves as to why these things happen nowadays? There are many causes of crime that we could think of.But to name a few, it can be blamed on three major factors: poverty, insufficient parental guidance, and lack of faith. With the first on the list, poverty has been a very constant reason as to why people put themselves at risk of being jailed--if not convicted to death. A man can be tempted to steal something with the thought of producing an easy money. Secondly, the family plays a vital role in molding a righteous society.If a family member doesn't get sufficient guidance and effective upbringing, that person might become socially irresponsible.Thus, leading to committing a crime.Lastly, lack of faith strongly affects our judgement. Whether we do the right or wrong thing, our idea in making humane decisions is determined by the level of our religious perspective. In the end, it is by choice, either we live our lives as a morally upright citizen or the other way around.It's not only living by the law of the land  but it's also of what we have learned in the religious teachings if we would engage ourselves to these crimes or not.

Sayonara...

I once told myself that I won't cry nor get emotional...
Convincing everyone that I'm gonna be fine...
And yet, why are these tears abundantly flowing from my eyes?
Is it because of the reality that we'll be far apart from each other?
I thought that time has molded me in becoming a stronger person.
But why is it that all of a sudden, I feel so unstable and weak?
I thought I can courageously handle all the pain and heartaches that life has to offer.
And just now, it seems that I'm stuck in the middle of  a labyrinth.
Is it logical to have faith in your promise
That you'll come back for me, no matter what happens?
Should I take your word seriously and hold on to it til the end
Til you come back to me, feeling your warm embrace
Distance may separate us...but in my heart, you will always stay safe
As of now, this might be a farewell for us.
But in time, we will reunite once again.
I will be patiently waiting...taking all the risk just to keep on loving you.
