Yearbook write ups

Here's the write up I submitted to Aegis:

May mumunting butong napadpad sa masukal na lupa, kaagaw sa sustansiya at liwanag ang mga damong hindi naghirap tumubo roon. Pero pinalad ang buto nang marinig nito ang tawag na lampasan ang sariling sisidlan, na magbunga kahit hamunin ng mundo. Munti man, siksik ng yamang mapayayabong ang laman. Dumaan ang panahon, patuloy na sinikap ng buto ang kumilos palabas ng sarili kasabay ang pagpapadalisay ng niloloob, nag-aasam na malapitan at bigyang-lugod ang Liwanag. Matiyaga itong nag-ugat sa lupa sa kabila ng daluyong ng mga elemento. Kaya nagsimulang sumibol ang angking buhay at ganda ng dati'y mumunting buto! Sa paglabas nito sa mas malawak na mundo, tangan nito ang panalanging maabot ang mga inilaan dito-- ang luwalhatiin ang Liwanag, ang bigyang gabay at buhay ang mga buto pang darating, at Meron pa.

Cool eh? I also wrote one for a friend but I doubt he'd use it. Weird kasi. But so it won't be a complete literary waste:

A boy was playing by a brook. The brook gurgled and cooed as the water daintily splashed against the rocks, in harmony with the chirping of birds. Tiny waves erupted almost gracefully; the water dancing, glistening in the sun. The little boy ignored all these, throwing then catching his ball. He remembered his father saying something about shallow waters being the noisiest. Running to chase his ball rolling downhill, the boy expected to come to the end of the brook. Yet it appeared to be leading somewhere beyond itself. At last he came to a magnificent river. The boy saw little schools of fish swimming through crystal waters which somehow also reflected the surrounding trees it nourished. Little animals scampered here and there – life was abound. The boy realized he was foolish, and the ball lay forgotten.
