Is He The One For Me?
I am single for a long time now. It is not because I’m ugly. It is not because of my attitude. It is not because of the people around me or my parents. But it is because I am waiting for the right time that he will come into my life. True love really waits, I do believe in that saying.
I have a deep crush on a boy who is a swimmer in our place. He attended many swimming contest and earn gold medals. He also dances well. He is cute and charming. He looks like my father and acts like my father too. He has healthy gums. I really like him. He owns all the qualities I like in a guy. He is smart; he recently graduated in a prestigious school earning a bachelor’s degree. He is the one for me, I always tell myself that. But I don’t have the courage to look at him in the eye when we meet. He says Hi to me always and it makes my heart jump for joy but I just look down and say nothing. I really wanted to say Hi! Ernest but my tongue does not follow what I want to happen.
One day, I and my cousins went into a studio to watch a show. It is a funny show. I was enjoying myself with my two cousins. When the show is over, we let people exit first. We waited until no one is in the studio before we would leave. Beside the studio, there is a rehearsal room for dancers. I saw him their, he saw me too. We looked into each others eyes, which was the first time I looked into his eyes. I feel that I am shaking. My cousin holds me. He approached to us smiling. Showing his beautiful and white teeth. He doesn’t have bad breath. His eyes are also smiling too. I smiled to him in return, maybe my gums are showing that time because of happiness. He invited me to have a coffee. I can’t talk so my cousin said yes for me. That was a trembling experience but he was walking with me to the cafeteria. I was smiling all the time while I was with him. It was a nice encounter.
We are now best friends, we hang out together. He courted me but I wanted him to say as my friend for now but I honestly like him. I told him that. Maybe we should wait for the right time. I already know that he will always be there, without gingivitis, for me and he is going to be my husband because my mother likes him too for me. Sometimes, ask myself is this the right time for us?

Priceless Peace
This day in age, people are turning to religion in droves. Christianity, Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism has embedded it’s ideology in the hearts and minds of millions globally. While all these religions deserve respect and tolerance, few in the west have a grasp on the complicated concept of Buddhism.
The end all and be all of online encyclopedias, Wikipedia grabs the first slot on a Google search for the term Buddhism and the breakdown reads like this: “Buddhism is a religion and a philosophy encompassing a variety of traditions, beliefs and practices, largely based on teachings attributed to Siddhartha Gautama, commonly known as the Buddha (Pali/Sanskrit “the awakened one”). The Buddha lived and taught in the northeastern Indian subcontinent sometime between the 6th and 4th centuries BCE.
He is recognized by adherents as an awakened teacher who shared his insights to help sentient beings end suffering, achieve nirvana, and escape what is seen as a cycle of suffering and rebirth. Buddhism is traditionally conceived as a path of liberation attained through insight into the ultimate nature of reality. Two major branches of Buddhism are recognized: Theravada (”The School of the Elders”) and Mahayana (”The Great Vehicle”). Theravada, the oldest surviving branch, has a widespread following in Sri Lanka and Southeast Asia, and Mahayana is found throughout East Asia and includes the traditions of Pure Land, Zen, Nichiren Buddhism, Tibetan Buddhism, Shingon, Tendai and Shinnyo-en. In some classifications, a third branch, Vajrayana, is recognized, although many see this as an offshoot of the Mahayana. While Buddhism remains most popular within Asia, both branches are now found throughout the world.
Various sources put the number of Buddhists in the world at between 230 million and 500 million.” After living abroad in Asia for several years I have found that Buddhist cultures are more tolerant because the focus is on the ’self’ and the meditation on the calming of the mind, concentrating on controlled breathing and the idea that meditation to bring one closer to peace is central to discovering one’s self.
If you have the opportunity to investigate the practice of Buddhism, I would highly recommend it. I’m not saying to take up the path and convert to a religion but the calming affect that is central to this religions concept will bring a peaceful serenity to your life that you may find useful. All in all respect and tolerance for all religious perspectives is something that people are beginning to make a conscious effort to practice and understanding ideas from various religions can teach us an appreciation that can bring us all closer together.
