The Moon

By: Sherwin Centeno

After the hard poured rain the last few months, those typhoons that had hit our country seem very stressful for us. Floods and land slides often occur during this time and disaster over certain areas of the country would suspend classes and evacuees are getting bigger each day. News in over the news paper, radios, and television are getting intense and people are getting tense about it.

For the past few days, have you ever tried to look up in the sky at night and gaze on the moon? Have you not notice that recently it had shine so bright as if it is shining on you? Well I have.

The moon is a natural satellite of the earth, visible by reflection of sunlight, having a slight elliptical orbit, approximately 221,600 miles distant at perigee and 252,950 miles at apogee. Its mean diameter is 2,160 miles, its mass approximately one-eightieth that of earth, and its average period of revolution around the earth 29 days 12 hours 44 minutes calculated with respect to the sun as Grolier dictionary defines it.

Riding my motorcycle coming home from a visit from a very charming and pretty lady I knew, I get to glance at the sky and notice the moon brightly shines over me. As I pass by the new bridge connecting Puntod and Kauswagan over the Cagayan de Oro River, I get to wonder and ask does this moon really shine’s over me? Then it hit my head of my old favorite songs MOON RIVER by Andy Williams and FLY ME TO THE MOON by Frank Sinatra. Oh how I wish I could fly to the moon.

The songs give meaning to the moon in relevance of love which you long for and worship and adore. So in others, I LOVE YOU…

So step out from your houses and feel what the moon it trying to say to you.

That thing called TAGGED

You might be confused why this article seemed to have a different author. Well, yes it is. He wrote this blog for me and he asked me to post this on my blog. Here it goes:

Are you familiar about TAGGED? Have you joined TAGGED? Well for those who have not joined or not familiar with TAGGED, it is a website of finding and hooking with old and new friends. It is like Friendster, Facebook, or Multiply. I have been a member of TAGGED for quite a while now and was quite hooked in because of different and interesting people you get to know and might meet.

Well honestly speaking, I have known and met some of them. It started when I sent messages to them that I am interested to know them. One of them who I was so interested because of her charm and beauty responded and gave me her number. I started to call her and talked over the phone more than an hour. I was uneasy unless I get to see her personally. She agreed to see me and right there and then she had swept me off my feet.

We talked for hours and felt comfortable with each other. The talked was to know each other and then I found out she was married but separated and has 2 great and loving kids. I was hesitant then but she really swept me off my feet. The next day I ask her if I could visit her again and she agreed. Oh we really love each others company, it is like a chemistry of two compound elements when mix it gives a great pair.

As time went by, a constant visit and a few dates I felt love. A feeling lost more than five years. I know that she also has the same feeling for me but the problem was she was still married and a lot might turn against our relationship.

Two weeks, we ended this and said our goodbyes for we both know it is the best for us. I still love her and have a place in my heart and will stay as a true and trusted friend to her for ever.

And this is all because of “That thing called TAGGED.”
