Ambrosia – it is referred as the food of the Gods. It is derived from the Greek ambrotos where a- ("not") and mbrotos ("mortal"). Ambrosia thus means immortality. It is said that whoever consumes it becomes ageless and immortal... It was late noon when we finally decided to take our lunch. Our roaring stomachs brought us to Army Navy, one of the best places for burgers and burritos. We did not wait further to let our tongues hand to the ground so we immediately summoned the best nectars for us. We were like the Gods of Olympus as we savor the taste that was served to us for the very first time. I never let myself regret, for not tasting this ‘ambrosia’ served to me. The drip of the ice cream mixed with the blueberry at top of the soft and fluffy bread tickled my senses as it entered my cave of judgment. I never tasted something like that before. The time seemed to stop from running and I felt the immortality running through my veins. Fountain of youth as it seems, it brought back my energy; making me to devour all of the ambrosia fed to me. That time, I never thought I would be a God of Olympus even just for once in my entire life.

Tik tok tik tok tik. I felt like the time stopped as I saw this beautiful young princess dancing gracefully. Dressed like the color of the Sun god, it was like the most beautiful thing that only my eyes can see. I didn’t blink for a second for I never wanted her to runaway just like Cinderella in just a matter of few lapses. I even felt the urge to kiss her for she may just be sleeping like Aurora. Or maybe, I could be the beast and she will be my beauty? It may be funny that I would be Shrek to just have a happy ever after with her. If that happens, I may be the luckiest ogre in the kingdom of far far away. Oh, how I wish all of this can be true! Too bad it was just a flower glaring in the most beautiful way in the middle of the night.

SUMMER YOLO

The sun scorches hot high up in the sky. Your sweat drips down from your forehead. Everyone wants to grab something cool to drink. Others meanwhile are spending their vacation on beaches. Kids are having their vacation from school. Ice cream vendors are very busy selling their three-scooped ice cream to street children. Well, these are the typical ways of how people spend their summer time. How about mine? It’s just simple. YOLO. Yes! Just take a very relaxed seat and enjoy the summer breeze! YOLO means You Only Live Once, it means that I should just enjoy summer and take a sip of a cold drink. As they say, let’s dance to the sway of summer for when it’s over, we might not be young and beautiful again. So what I do I is just look up in the sky, wear my tank tops and sunglasses. Enjoy the heat with my pants and boat shoes! When everyone is crazy about how they will spend summer, I will just be right here relaxing listening to the hot summer chills. Just look up in the sky, everything is alright. The summer is a gift; let us enjoy its heat!
