My First Guest Post!

Guess what? I just had my first guest post!


I earned this guest post from White Sky Project's giveaway, Mini Giveaway: $25 Amazon Gift Card up for grabs (An Offering to the Giveaway Gods) + 4 Feature Post and I happen to win a feature post--which was totally awesome. I thought this was the best step in giving my blog, Michelle Shouts Random, spotlight. It was a nice step since I just started this blog.

My Wish

My Wish

It’s been two years now since a great mad typhoon destroyed
several cities, and hundred of lives

News flashed back and I remembered the pain

If I could do something to help them

Tear dropped, and that’s when I prayed

Two days where I’ll be eighteen

And it’s continuously raining

A great friend giving up from our roller coaster journey

A family problem popped where they’re fighting

I remember when I was seven

I dreamt my eighteenth

Bright chandeliers over me

With my pretty pink gown

Dad would be my first dance

And last would be my prince

My best friends would be there

And so as my cousins

But now back in reality

I could see it fading

Tear dropped, and that’s when I pray

I wish I have found my prince charming

I wish my family would be alright

And my cousins would be here

I wish she would stay

And together we’ll ride again our roller coaster journey

I wish two years ago would never happen again

I’m not dreaming of pink gowns and cotillions

No, not anymore

Coz before I blow my candles,

I wish you were alright

I wish you were here

And I wish you will stay

Forever, that’s what I pray.

Not the kind of poem you knew. Usually, poets write theirs that will leave you thinking what it meant, what's it for and who's it for. But with this one, you'll know what I'm thinking..what I'm wishing. It's really not like a poem, but at least I get to let my feelings understood. Hopefully.

Never End

Never End

September 23, 2011

I remember the day I was afraid to start all over again

Afraid to walk into a new world without a friend

Afraid to realize I chose the wrong person and be alone again.

You came along and I forgot the word ‘afraid’

Coz I know when our first conversation started, it’ll never end.

It didn’t took an hour to know each other’s lives;

We’re soul sisters.

I caught myself smiling alone

With the thought I’d somehow enjoy this journey

I never dreamt of traveling.

We thought about the same things,

Dream about the same dreams,

And had a crush on a same guy.

We are happy, we are crazy,

And we can rap;

Nobody knew that but us.

I remember our last talk was yesterday

              But when we talk today, it’s like it’s our first time to meet

We tried to lower our voice, but we just can’t

People around us thought we’re crazy

Coz we laugh like there’s no tomorrow.

They couldn’t understand,

But we swore that was really hilarious,

And just simply because we’re together.

We sing songs and dance with them

You are the words of the melody I made on my guitar

Together, we just naturally rock it off.

Awkward moments became my perfect days

Because I wouldn’t know you any better.

We make dull times to colorful ones

And every moment, I took pictures on my mind,

Along with the hundred photos on my camera.

They will be treasured

Coz I never planned it all to forget

Coz what we had was the one I never wanted to end.

Forever, that’s what I pray.

I wrote this 'poem' almost a year ago for a friend, our friendship, that I never wanted to end. It was the time that she can't take nursing any longer and decided to drop off and enroll to different school with different course.

I was so sad that I cried because she's the first close friend I had on my first year in college. We are so alike and we just clicked right away and it was hard for me to let her go. We have other friends, yes, but our bond is different. There are things I can say or do with her--but not to others.

Due to the emotions that I had that day, I have written this poem. I let her and my friends read it (I dedicate this to her and our other friends). As of now, I just started my third year in nursing and I'm so glad that none of her plans happened. She stayed in our university and continued nursing--with us.
