Title: "The Drink I Never Got to Give You"

Today, I saw you again.

You and her.

It wasn’t planned. I wasn’t prepared. I had even bought you a drink — a small, silly gesture I thought might bridge the silence between us. I don’t know what I was thinking. Maybe I just missed how things used to be. Maybe I hoped you'd smile, say thank you, maybe… just see me again.

But then she appeared, and suddenly I felt invisible. Like I didn’t belong in that moment. Like I was trespassing in a space that once held our conversations, our energy — and now held hers.

So I walked past you both. No drink. No words. No “hey, how are you?” Just silence.

And in that silence, I felt the ache of every memory we ever shared.

You used to message me back. You used to smile when you saw me.

Now we’re strangers. We share a contact list but not a connection. You react to my statuses like we’re still something, but in real life… I’m just a face in the crowd to you.

And I hate that I still hoped today.

I hate that some small, stubborn part of me still believes you’ll wake up and choose me.

That I still want to be chosen — by someone who already made his choice.

I know I should let go.

I know I should stop wondering what I did wrong, or why she was enough when I wasn’t.

But letting go of you feels like letting go of something unfinished, like I’m trying to grieve a story that never even got its ending.

Still… I showed up for myself today.

Even when it hurt.

Even when I had to pretend it didn’t.

And that’s something.

Maybe one day, I’ll stop writing letters you’ll never read.

But for now, I’ll keep pouring my heart out —

not for you,

but for me.

— Me 🤎

The Vicious Guards in the Alley

With my stomach grumbling like thunder, I went out during my one-hour lunchbreak to grab something to nibble on. It was pitch dark outside; there was no moon or stars floating over the ether. It felt gloomy while I was walking along the deserted alleyway. The only source of light was my phone's flashlight, which made it more difficult to see my steps.

As I was halfway down the alley, a roaring bark reverberated out of the blue. My heart jumped out of my chest and pounded heavily. I felt as cold as ice. My hands trembled like a leaf, and my legs became noodles. Despite being horrified, I continued walking.

Arriving at the mouth of the alley, I saw two black, voluptuous dogs appear in my sight. My throat became as barren as the Sahara Desert. My palms started sweating and dripping incessantly. The gaze of the dogs was as sharp as a razor, enough to kill me in a snap. Slowly, they were moving uprightly and stiffly towards me, with heads slightly raised, pricked ears directed forward, and tails erected and rigid.

Without thinking twice, I turned my back on them and scampered away at the speed of light. A thunderous and spiteful bark blanketed and echoed, disrupting the serenity of the surroundings, and the vicious dogs began to run after me, sprinting like cheetahs. Glancing back, I noticed they were very close to me, and my nervousness was on top of a hill. With all my strength, I ran as quickly as I could. It was the fastest run I had ever done in my life.

When I finally got to the house, I was gasping for air, my lungs constricting. I felt a piercing pain on the left side of my chest, which was unbearable. I threw myself on the floor and its coldness touched my bare skin. It made me shiver down my spine. Moments later, I was back with my real self. So, I checked my phone, and I saw it was almost half an hour before I would have to get back to work.

Being deadly famished, I decided to ask my little brother to accompany me. As we neared the aperture of the alley, the dogs were no longer to be found, as if they had never existed at all. I was able to purchase some bread and a liter of Coca-Cola. Like a hungry tiger, I devoured everything. Then, my grumbling stomach became silent. When we were heading home, I saw the dogs in the same spot as they had been earlier. But, when we had passed them, they were as silent as the grave, and as gentle as lambs.

The Chronicle of My Success Foretold

Innocence is all I am when I was a kid. Following all the instructions and wants of my mother to discover my talents, trying to figure out where I am good at. Astronaut, runway model, and culinarian was my dream when I am a kid. Not knowing how to pursue those professions. As far as I know, if we want to do roleplaying, we can be whoever we want. Not until I became a high school student. Noticing different kinds of hard work, trying to excel in a specific role. I have been a student-leader, a campus journalist, and been a member of different school clubs. But it's all because of my peers, doing the same thing with them is fun, having commonalities with your mutual is the reason to feel excited in school. Doing these different activities and responsibilities became my path to know where I'm good, to see the future of me. Application in universities came, and it's the biggest transition phase in my life. It is not easy as I thought, preparing the papers to be submitted, importantly choosing the program is hard too. Before I choose, I overthink it because I told myself that it should be my end game for my career, a program that I want where I am enjoying it too, which is the bachelor of arts in communication. The things I did in high school became my foundation to aim for this program. They say it's just an “easy” program and no career but this is where I believe I'm good, at writing, performing, and other art skills. I may be a not-so-smart person but I know to myself that I have the skills that will help me to survive in this world. Even though it is me who chose this program, there are still hardships to do. But I can't blame myself because it's my choice yet I know withstanding my career bloc will help me to stand in life. Being part of the media is my aim right now, a documentarist, or maybe I can make coffee for Jessica Soho. Kidding aside, seeing my own experience momentarily, I can see myself as a journalist or part of the research team. Maybe and I wish, ten years from now I am 31 years old. I am traveling around the country, finding and filming a touching story for the world to see and inspire. There is one thing I realize when you want to achieve something, hard work, patience, and courage must possess oneself for us to be able to obtain our pursuit.

Touchmove

By: Peter Mayshle

Touchmove was also an interesting story. It was written by Peter Mayshle, the two mans was playing a chess when He telling a story to Roman. It was August, when a typhoon what's-Her-name. He is working as a housekeeper to a something like hotel or motel? When a customer (woman) suddenly entered to their work place snapping them from boredom because they don't have a single customer all day and suddenly she came. He first noticed that the woman was wearing a red blouse and she's also wet from the rain outside. Long story short, the woman chose him to accompany her lead her way which room she'd go. He just arranged the room for the woman when she finally arrived after taking her shower. When he looked at her, she's only wearing a towel. Telling him that the towel was too short for her. And with that, day do some silly things like taking off His clothes left with nothing to cover with. She asked him to gave her a massage that he immediately obey. While he's massaging her, he saw some of her scars, bruises all over to her breast down to her waist. He caught off guard but says nothing. He held her like that for a few minutes and that was it. She put on his shirt and maong, took her wet clothes from the bathroom and left the place. Dissapeared in the rain again. Roman frowns, staring at him for a seconds, wondering if he's joking. "You're an idiot," roman said, threatening his king but clearly trying to capture his queen. As he rescue his queen from his dogged pursuit, he see that Roman's just a kid. Untaught in the ploys of the hearts. This story simply remind us that there this man who will treat us better. That her past lovers taking advantage to her till she left bruised and teary. Roman is still a kid. But he is a man. He knows better, he act better, he thinks better. Taking advantage to a woman who's already take advantage by others isn't a work of a true man.

“Understanding the Relevance of Information and News Literacy in the Midst of Social Era”

Social Era ought to basically be viewed as being about the association of social orders on a world scale, about current connections and those that can be grown internationally between people, networks, countries and associations. The broad communications for example, TV, music, news and specifically the new media, such as the Internet are significant devices during the time spent spreading the social culture to the young people around the globe and on the other hand can be utilized as a stage for the systems administration of obstruction. The youth are the most legitimately influenced by Social Era and in this manner fundamental to current discussions on personality. They are encountering socialization day by day through work designs, the companionship bunches they create, their use of the internet (specifically for social networking) and more extensive social impacts on their ways of life.

We have the relevance value of information and news literacy in the midst of the social era to help to understand how to read and recognize misleading, out-of-date, false information, and also helps them to sort through the data and interpret it intelligently. Everyone has to get the opportunity to disseminate information by the use of social media, we need to identify which relevant news and information is from not so that we discovered and to know when to release the information. Information and news literacy is to develop the critical thinking skills that are needed to judge the reliability and credibility of information, this is a particularly skill as everyone struggles to deal with information overload, the difficulty determining the authenticity of reports, and to evaluate information. We need to practice information and new literacy to be able to give more ideas that can create or give information and value can come from anyone and anywhere. It starts with individuals gathering around an idea such as trust, authenticity, and purpose.

Understanding the Relevance of Information and News Literacy in the Midst of Social Era

We are swallowed by information, and we are dense towards what we take of it.Information in this new era is tricky and valuable but getting the right facts of information will be challenging to comprehend especially in this generation, technology and mass media grow greatly in this certain age but there are filters of information, in which factual and credible information nowadays tend to mislead on such situations.Evaluation of information towards certain media groups is a must either it can be a credible source or a professional made, because it is a need for reassurance.In this social era people nowadays tend to communicate and share through online media sites, sure it can be a great help and it is the highest media made in this era , but some might take advantage of it and use it as a weapon of misleading information and thoughts, when we take a first look of some information we tend to learn from it but by learning it little we know that this can be misinterpreted or filtered information, which it is not intellectually healthy for a mediated mind person.

When we need to know something we must ask and answer and by applying that we must also be accredited and responsible in each of our actions, either it can be written media or wireless media ( social media ).Taking the role as media literate individual we must take great actions on doing this especially giving the right information, because in this era information is valuable and risky.When people like to share information it can be shadowed or a facade because they might use this a click bait way in order to gain people or someones attention, lesson served as that in this era people should read constructively and thoroughly so that getting on certain information especially factual ones will be clear and credible, And by that people learn how to educate themselves especially in the mass media era, by giving right information of facts and also getting credible and appropriate ideas and information.

“Understanding the Relevance of Information and News Literacy in the Midst of Social Era”

We are all now experiencing and facing the reality in globalization to our world that is clearly becoming compact and attached to social media to get information. As we grew up we all tend to think and question ourselves as we read information. Especially now in the midst of social media people spent a lot of time surfing, reading articles, news, blogs, and a lot more information. Little did we know that instant information is available everywhere and there is a lot of news that is becoming much harder to tell what is real and what is not. It’s very easy to get mesmerized by the amount of information that we get, it is not just because we read the news or watch news but instead as citizens, we have a responsibility to critically think to get and recognize the right information about what is real and false information.

Having the ability to recognize; and to judge the credibility of the information that we are provided with is a must, predominantly in the social era where a network of connected people, share interest, express; and create ideas in a virtual community with various different platforms to share knowledge. With this, people have begun using it as a tool that spawned a ton of manipulated content that can easily attract an individual and spread from person to person. The ability to critically think or judge; the trustworthiness of the information that is shared globally, is a skill that must be put into practice. In order for us to stop falling for these misleading content, one must take a step back; and evaluate facts, and not immediately jump into conclusions. We have to be aware that information can be abused, people can say anything they want and people can manipulate people.

“Understanding the Relevance of Information and News Literacy in the Midst of Social Era”

Media's role in a globalized world is to identify the issues and add value to the glut of information for citizens to develop themselves so that they can learn, select, and play an active role with the things that promote a nation. social era is about connecting things, people, and ideas. with this Understanding it's relevance  is something we need to know especially when we are in a world where technology is a big deal. Critical thinking is a big part of being an information literate, and when it comes to sharing information, it is commonly found in online platforms to connect with the netizens.  There are as of now numerous outlets where we will accumulate data from and the only thing cleared out for us to do is to create beyond any doubt that our source isn't as it were true blue but moreover opportune. Ready to studied books and other references from diverse a long time, in any case it does not fundamentally cruel that it is pertinent on our current needs.

Being opportune on our accumulated data empowers us to be pertinent in what we lecture or when we are in an contention. Rather like what we listen within the news, not understanding what was expounded could be a trouble in such a way that we might capture it the off-base way or romanticize it as well much. Being socially dynamic too implies being overhauled to the current patterns and the foremost source of these patterns is the news. In my opinion, understanding the relevance of information is very important in order for us to identify what is real. Information literacy skills have been around for quite time in different guises and several frameworks and definition have been produced both nationally and internationally. Social Era is such a reliable and more easier to gather and collect information. As students we are the active individuals in using social media in our generation. We must use our critical thinking and be wise on using the social media on gathering and selecting information that is relevant to us. Let us elaborate our minds in the field of Information Literacy so through with that we can truly understand the information and identify whether the information is true or fake.
