Graduated with Distinction in college with an average that is equivalent to cum laude.

And while receiving Honors is something I will always be grateful for, life has taught me something even more important. Real achievements aren’t always found on certificates or medals. Sometimes, they are found in the quiet, personal victories, when you overcome your fears, silence your insecurities, and rise above your doubts.

I will never not love the beach for it is my heartbeat. I will always yearn for it. I will always crave for the calm and wild waves, the deep and shallow waters, the cool breeze that embraces me with warmth. And the glistening hot sands that burn my naked feet. This desire is so strong, I know I can never get enough.

"The Afternoon Tea"

Written by Ruffa Mae Madel

On a rainy afternoon, a woman takes a cup of tea with divine calmness and drinks it to the last drop.

She knew that her tea was poisoned and yet she was there, still smiling as she curiously waited for the poison's effect.

Little by little, she felt the deathly cold crawling from her feet towards her heart. She is aware that she is about to die but she only pleasantly embraces it.

She offered her lover a biscuit. "Take it," she said. "For it is the symbol of my love". She knew very well that it was her lover who poisoned her tea and yet she is still ready to forgive him.

Three minutes later,the lifeless body of her lover fell into the cold ground.

The woman laughed heartily.

In that moment the woman remembered what this cruel world once taught her "a poisoned tea is never bad if you are immune to it."

-

Elements and symbolisms:

1. the lover symbolizes humans

2. the woman represents nature

3. biscuit represents men's leisures

4. the poisoned tea symbolizes the destruction that man's leisure is causing to our nature.

Dark Hour

Dark Hour By Ruffa Mae Madel (Part one of ‘Hour’ Trilogy)

Again, what is happening? There’s too much aching, suffering, and then there’s dying. My spirit is aging, and perhaps slowly draining and even burning with this fire raging that it’s triggering what I’m feeling this evening. If I tell you now that my spirit is sad and hurting. Will you believe that I’m not lying? And what if I tell you my spirit is crying but none of its tears are falling, Will you not believe I’m bluffing? Perhaps you think that I am singing?NO please! It is not in my nature to sing something so agonizing, antagonizing nor something so torturing —or something that feels like I’m an offering that is bound inside a burning ring to be sacrificed to That who plays the role of a king despite of his broken wing and loves listening to those who are weeping — This is how I describe this feeling, this breaking, this yearning to survive from this nothing, this unending understanding of waiting for what it is called 'perfect timing’.
