Admiration By Chesz Dylan Going to places that are new to you is somewhat fulfilling and relaxing. It maybe because of your new career, or just for leisure, still, you can't help but to admire the place and enjoy the experience. Being an adventurer and a nature lover, even the simplest panorama is a beauty. The calm sunshine, the gentle breeze as it touches your skin, the bustling noise created by the busy streets, and the moderate chitchats of the people. They are all part of the experience.

Passion vs Practical vs Normal (The Long Term) By Chesz Dylan With a snap, this idea just suddenly popped out of my head. Personally, I have an attitude where I tend to get easily bored at something. It's not like a form of indecisiveness, nor like I am a boring person. I just had a sudden thought that is playing in my mind, so I feel like venting it out in here. There are differences among passion, practicality and normalcy, especially when we are talking about the long term effects of these three. As I go on further in this topic, I want to remind the readers that these are not merely speculations, but a part of this is based on my personal experiences and how I feel.

Or you might say, it is subjective. I will try not to answer it, instead give you my personal insights. Pass

The Writer’s Heart By Chesz Dylan Nowadays, there are many "so-called" famous young writers. They are product of either a Writing Competition or the Wattpad. But really, are they that good? Or they are just using their influence to gain readers? And the worst? It's by creating numerous accounts just to create publicity, or gain reads (views) in their works. See also:  Passion vs Practical vs Normal (The Long Term) In a generation where stories has gotten cliched, or copying (knowingly or unknowingly) other's plot has been in almost every stories, one cannot know whether it's still worth it or not. In an ocean of great books, famous writers and recycled storylines, how can a mere amateur writer make it to the top? Next to J K. Rowling, Stephen King, Mark Twain, Ernest Hemingway and so forth. Yes, I heard you. It's through gimmick. GIMMICK I will tell you straight to your face dear, gimmick is a lame but easiest way to be known. Its success rate de

YEAR OF THE DOG AND YOUR WRITING FATE By Chesz Dylan It's this time of the year again where everyone is doing another list of unaccomplished and unfulfilled New Year's resolution. Yep, those trending set of goals every start of the year where you either failed miserably not to accomplish it by the end of the year or you are part of those lucky ones who made a phenomenal change to their lifestyle. For writers that were born in the year of the dog, this might be your lucky year! See also:  Writer’s Block and Blank Page Syndrome Point of View To be honest, I find it odd that I am writing this subject when I actually don't believe in astrology, fortune telling, horoscopes and alike. I just came up with this subject because I came across this Chinese Astrology thingy and I felt that this would encourage those writers who believed in these things.

When the Passion is Gone? By Chesz Dylan Passion. Is it really a strong feeling? Is it really a strong desire or urge for something or someone? Is it endless? Or maybe it was just a normal feeling? And just like any other emotion, it has its limit? See also:  You Are Never Worthless While I was writing this, I had my fair share of emotions popping inside my head. Thoughts about my relationship, my job, my writing and also about myself. As my mind wanders, I feel like I’m lost. When I think about it, I feel like that passion is slowly fading. I don’t know why. Maybe, there’s a problem to myself? Or perhaps, I am actually the problem? I don’t know. RELATIONSHIP I always believed in happy endings. I always believed that somehow, love conquers all. I am a romantic guy by heart, though it isn’t obvious (Ikr?) It was the ideal that I always had in mind. It was the ideal, that I always try to hold on to. But well, I came from a broken family and yes, I guess everyone knew it. S

You Are Never Worthless By Chesz Dylan Lately, I have been seeing suicide videos in the internet. So I had this sudden thought that, was life that worthless? Was life that unfair to you and treated you so bad that taking your own life is the only way out? What will you tell God when you are in front of the Judgement throne? Think about it.

BLOG #7 Choose Your Friends By Chesz Dylan As I was reading my Facebook newsfeed, I came across this post about a crime done by a certain group of individuals or ‘barkada’ to an OFW.

Psalm 1:1 Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers This is one of the problems in our society. Hard-drinking, a little pot-session and late night gigs at discos and bars. These are frivoulous things that are heavily influenced by your friends or peers. Of course, I am publicly admitting that I was once guilty of either one or two of these. Oh the Youth!

Ode of a Broken Son By Chesz Dylan This is the time, when all he can do is to reminisce, The child who once born, without expectation and premise. Raised by his grandmother with love and affection; Molded with principles, discipline and commiseration. See also:   Poet[ical] Nonetheless Independent even though he needs attention, Reserved and obedient, despite his inner nefarious personification. A child seeking for someone or perhaps something: Yearning and patiently waiting, as the years are passing. A broken family and a broken identity: Grew in a modern day concept and infidelity. Brokenness and death stricken to the very core of his being; Lost and hopelesness, an everyday long-suffering. Deprived of love, a motherly love; Deprived of a family, he wished he could have. Fleeting years of what could have been a relationship, now just a dream: Somewhere in his mind is hoping and wanting to scream. See also:  Twenty-eighteen Haunted Misery of Dreyfus Birt

The Love of a Father By Chesz Dylan “Growing up without a father could permanently alter the structure of the brain. — Ben Spencer, The Daily Mail ” A sad reality for children that grew up fatherless. Based on the research, growing up without a father have many psychological effects. Effects like suicidal tendencies, drug addiction, low self-esteem, school drop-outs or low educational attainment and behavioral problems like depression and anger. I, myself, can attest to this. It was the most depressing part of my life. I want to be clear on this matter first. I do have a father but I didn’t grow up having him beside me, so it makes sense to consider myself fatherless in a general perspective. GROWING UP People who knew me knows that I came from a broken family. I wouldn’t divulge on this matter more further. It was really hard growing up without your parent, especially your father. As a boy, a father figure is very important as it was supposed to be who you will look up to

A GREAT STORYTELLER WHO WRITES FROM HIS GUT By Chesz Dylan A GREAT STORYTELLER WHO WRITES FROM HIS GUT. Whether it be Dramarama or GMA Primetime, we can’t help ourselves to switch our Television and watch our favorite teleseryes. Nowadays, the contents had been calibrated to cater International audience as the competition among these stations are becoming more intense. From CGI and 3D rendering effects, to props using 3D Printing, to Cinematography using drones that could capture 4k resolutions, to Musical Scoring and Screenplay. From indie budget to expensive budget like Game of Thrones, television landscape had never been this more creative, more challenging and more diverse that could level that of international calibers. THE WRITER. But one key element from these will always remain. An unchartered region that highlights other elements like acting prowess and magnify the entirety of the drama. These are storytellers that evolved from nuisance, to masters. These are pe

No Greater Love By Chesz Dylan Two days from now, we will be celebrating the highlight of this month- February 14. As I sit back, trying to figure what is the importance of Valentine’s Day. It made me realized one thing, the essence of all these buzzes about Valentine’s Day. Then, I remembered the sharing we had in BCF-Solomon Group. WHO In a worldly view, when you talk about Valentines, people usually come up with names of St. Valentine, where it actually derived its name. Eros, the Greek god of love. And ‘cupid’ or ‘Amor’ in Roman Mythology. Well, Cupid is depicted as an infant boy holding a bow and an arrow matching two different individuals. I believed that, we have our different beliefs regarding this matter. But what separates my belief is an Eternal, Unchanging, Triune, Faithful, Holy, Sinless, Perfect, Just and Sovereign representation of who and what love is- GOD . GOD IS LOVE “Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. And so we know and r

Love and Writing By Chesz Dylan It’s February and we all knew what month it is. Yes, it’s the month of love. But wait, have you been in love? Or the question should be, do you love someone? How does it feel? You know, that feeling when your heart beats so fast (dokiđź’“doki) whenever you see that special someone. Your jaw is stuck, and you can’t utter a word when your crush is talking to you. You blushed so red, like someone painted tomato sauce on your face. You want to see him like everyday, and you go gaga about everything related to him. Well, boys aren’t that too much showy in general (with the exception of course, when they are within their circle of friends). Just some glimpses every now and then. For some, they tend to joke around their crushes. It’s their way to impress her effortlessly. Others, they connived with their best buddy as their means to convey their feelings. Or if he’s not that shy type, he would just ask his crush directly and break the silence, with the

Writer’s Block and Blank Page Syndrome By Chesz Dylan Have you experienced a time wherein your mind was like in a total blank? Where you can’t think of any ideas or have run out of words to say? Or perhaps, you’re just staring at your blank sheet of paper or word document and not a single idea ever crossed your mind? Probably, it’s either you are experiencing a Writer’s Block, or a Blank Page Syndrome. What is the difference of the two? Actually, they are both similar in terms of description. However, Writer’s Block deals more in psychological aspects, whereas the latter has no symptoms at all. Writer’s Block happens mostly to writers. It is a condition wherein, you are unable to think or come up with an idea for your story or article. It could be because you lack inspiration, you are distracted, you are stressed or due to a creative problem within your work. Inspiration is one of the important factors in writing a story. It is where you create your plot, the twists, and s
