Baguio Essay #1 - My Inspiration In Life

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The nails grew up.

 

My eyes were turned to the nail cutter.

 

The nails are going to be cut again someday.

 

 

As time goes by, things kept on changing.

 

Time may changed and I have changed from what I used to.

 

Many people have gone past me.

 

I was able to hold some occasionally but most of them did not last.

 

 

A few days ago, I realized that I could not last also.

 

After that, I've been alone.

 

Somebody came along to me today.

 

 

Every morning, I wake up listening to the sound of snore.

 

Since I came into the Philippines, someone has been in my room, who'll stay with me during the time that I'll stay.

 

One night, I woke up by the sound ot the snore.

 

It seemed that it wat an earthquake.

 

I could not get to sleep but I tried to sleep.

 

And I had a dream.

 

 

When I was a highschool student, I met a friend who had a big nose.

 

At the time, I was in the storm and stress, but he cleared everything.

 

Being a good friend, I'd learned from him how to escape from the storm and stress.

 

 

After graduating in highschool, my mood was changed like him.

 

It seemed that I became a new one.

 

 

And I woke up again hearing the sound of the snore.

 

 

I saw my nails again.

 

There was dirt on them.

 

The nails were not themselves in my dream.

 

They were not the same as yesterday.

 

 

Today, the friend in my dream is with me.

 

As time goes by, we will be seperated again.

 

But, the snore of the big nose is going to linger in my life.

 

Forever.
