Hunyango kayumanggi - poem


Change change

like a chameleon do
from white to black
from brown to blue
just as to say;
that clothes are not the skin of the man
just as
skin is not the essence
shed that skin
it ain’t a part of you
change change
like a chameleon do 
from white to black
from brown to blue…
Lou Syquia



Kumusta hô everyone once again. 
I have chosen to share this poem with all of you, because i believe in equality no matter what race, skin color or nationality we might be. if anything we should take in considerration this poem in our own life's even if we dont like chameleons. lets look at the message behind the poem. for years and years now we humans have been fighting one another over are ethnicity's and the parts of land we can walk on and not walk on. which seems foolish to me because like a book i recently read " in the end all that matters are our family's and our friends. - Tuesdays with Morrie 
Why do we continue fighting a war that means nothing. innocent people get caught in between and end up cutting there life's short others lose close loved ones and live in pain their remainders of their life's. i say lets quit with this bullshit and start concentrating on those in need. like the homeless or those who cant even afford a ruff over their heads or even a ride to get under a ruff. Life as we know it is getting more selfish by the minute. so like the poem says "clothes are not the skin of the man just as skin is not the essence" meaning to me that our life's are only borrowed for a period of time and instead of thriving for more and more material things, think about others and constantly remind yourself and others " Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value" - A. Einstein
 
Salamat po.

Magandang hapon po, tuloy po kayo.

Sup, OK so I'm 25 years old. a year ago I decided to enroll myself into Southwestern College because i finally understand the importance of having a Education. Don't get me wrong I graduated from Eastlake High School, but from 2004 until recently i was careless about my education, there was no respect for it and  i foolishly believed i could become successful with just my high school diploma.  i would spend most of my time surfing up and down the coast searching for bigger and bigger waves. then once the sun sent friends and i would go out and drink our nights away spending money irresponsibly and ignoring monthly bank statements. We had good times but watching my friends file bankruptcy and having to move away because of not being able to afford to live in San Diego besides of the economic downfall. i noticed the value of knowledge i accepted the idea that "knowledge is the key to success" which makes sense how did i expect to be successful when all i wanted was to be rich. i guess it was the kid in me. I consider myself a child at heart still but i have to become a world speaker. if there's anything I've been doing since i was a child, its been speaking my mind. and i love myself for that i believe in equality and will forever stand up for the misunderstood voices in this world.
Currently i am taking my generals and doing well being that my past records show the worse of worse grades imaginable. I'd like to see myself graduate out of Southwestern college into any University which will support my belief for equality and help me comprehend the things i haven't seen yet. so that whenever someone close to me is in need of help i can guide them right. i fear that i have set myself for a challenge that i will never accomplish but i am proud to say that choosing to respect knowledge it is helping me break my challenges into steps allowing me to think clearer about my situations  and  the strength to continue, because how will i ever say that i have lived to the fullest if i fear taking risk? with that being said i'm just trying to take the right risk. maybe even set an example and help others find their goals. 
Feel free to question? I'm not hard to get to know. 

YOU CAN BE THE JUDGE!
