A Typical Day in a Life of a Fan Girl

Isang Tipikal na Araw sa Buhay ng Isang Fan Girl

Idolizing somebody is not something to be ashamed of. In fact, the act of being a fan girl/boy requires a lot of courage and confidence. Not all can admit that there is someone greater than him, but we can. We just learn to accept others and idolize them, because we accept who we are, and others who can’t just simply bash us, but we don’t get mad because we know that they envy us.

It was way back July 2012 just a couple of year and months ago when I started being a fan girl. I don’t know what happen to me but all I can say is, because of it my life has changed. Cheesy as it may sounds but definitely it was a life changing event for me. Here is some of the videos I've taken on the day I've become a fan girl myself. Definitely it was nice reminiscing the past.

As I cherished that day, the day that I've accepted that I also am trapped to the world that I hate before and never in my wildest dream did I ever imagine that I will belong to those what I called before “the crazy ones, those who wastes their time, had no direction in life, no purpose in life, dumb people” and now I’m proud to say I am one of them.

I am writing this to answer the question what does being a fan girl change me as a person.. Hmm.. that is quite hard to answer because I know each one of us had change one way or another and I am no exception to all of you who may had done the same things as I have, but anyway to put it simply I will just compile the fan girl experience and make like it happen in just one day- WELCOME TO THE LIFE CHANGING PHASE OF ME!

It was Sunday and the sun shines brightly, as I walk back home from the church. I directly went up to my room only to found out that I had already finish doing all my assignments and done doing advance reading. What should I do then?? Hmmm.. I’ll just sleep anyway, but as I was about to go to sleep I quickly get up as I hear someone calling my name and there you have Mom just dropped by to my room just to give me a package. What is this? Some sort of books, or what? But I haven’t ordered anything. Anyways I opened it and a big smile just been painted in my face as I’ve seen posters from my favorite group. OMO!! I didn’t expect that it will arrived today luckily my Mom didn’t know that it was something related to kpop or else I’m dead meat . I quickly opened the laptop, played the loudest possible kpop music in my room, go to youtube to download new songs, then go to various kpop portal sites like allkpop, mwave, kmusic, pkci, opened my facebook of course and there begins my spazzing. As I was enjoying looking through various pages and singing on top of my voice with the music that has been playing I suddenly stopped and quickly closes my laptop. A deep sigh of relief is all I can do as my Mom leaves the room when she believes me that I was just practicing for a song number that would be presented during my Music class. Oh why did I forget to lock the door? There you have it, it’s all locked. Now back to business. I opened the laptop again. And when I see the time, I hurriedly go to the website for live streaming as I was about to watch a Korean music program. AHHH!! I’m totally pissed off! The show is already starting. Anyways luckily my bias group hasn’t performed yet. I went to facebook and posted my status. “Yes daebak!! They won. Congrats oppa you deserve it. I’m so proud of you.!” I was about to log-out when I saw my bias photo in my home page and I clicked shared. “Oppa is so handsome!!” Oppss… I have to log-out now byeeiii.! Ring, ring, ring, my cellphone is vibrating. I’ve read the text and replied, “Sorry I can’t come I’ve been saving my money so I really can’t go to the mall with you. Some other time after the concert.” Sent.  

At the afternoon, I was beside my Mom in the grocery store when suddenly I saw, a girl wearing a headband, t-shirt, and lanyard. My Mom was busy choosing what to buy when I decided to go near her. But wait my Mom told me never to talk to strangers and I also don’t do that before. It is so embarrassing to talk to her just because I know that she is also a fan girl like me. INHALE, EXHALE… ok I’ll go. “Hi, Are you an ELF??.” She called me so I ended my conversation with her and quickly approaches Mom. I smiled as I walk back to her, happy to meet a new friend again. She asked me what to eat; despite my hesitation I told her I want to try Korean food. It was so spicy and I almost didn't eat it, but despite all of that I will definitely come back to try other dishes that my bias loves. It was already late at night when we went back home. Tired and I should be sleeping now, but I opened my laptop and posted the video presentation I’ve made for my bias and sent the link through their official facebook account. At exactly 11:00 pm here in Philippines, 12:00 am in Korea I’ve tweeted about the birthday of my bias, and guess what.. YEY!! It trend worldwide and I am so happy to be part of it. Amazing I hope they will know it.

Before I sleep, I checked my facebook account and seen the event reminder on the corner. SS5 in Manila Oct. 26, 2013 Are you coming, there is join, maybe, decline button. I was about to click the maybe button since I’m not sure if I have the money to go there, but then I’ve think I’ll click Join  since I will do anything just to be part of SS5. Lights out, good night everyone.

Yes I am a typical fan girl, we both have almost the same experiences. We cry together, laugh with each other, died of waiting forever, but being a fan girl is priceless. It makes me feel that there is millions of reason why we should live. I am just a common fan girl, but maybe what makes me unique from all of you, is that being a fan girl gives me a purpose. I am not the old me anymore, I learn to live and appreciate every little thing that happens. Everything I do it for kpop, I do it because it makes me happy. And this simple things makes me happy, so I choose to be happy...

(Song Review) Newly release music videos

(A recap of just recently release music videos, and brief review about it)

I would give ratings to each and every music videos below from 1-10, 10 being the highest and 1 being the lowest. This is just my personal opinion so please do respect it. They will be graded according to this following categories:

Musicality- includes the beat, the tone, and how the music is arrange in order to catch the attention of the audience.

Music Video- representation, and the over-all visual aspect of the mv.

Individual Performance- how each individual or member showcase their talents. 

Concept- the idea and message that it wants to convey

Artistic Style- the talent, vocal performance and uniqueness of each artists.

I am just an amateur and not a professional reviewer, so please pardon me if you wouldn't like how I will rate them.

CN Blue's Feel Good

Musicality- Perfect 10! It is amazingly making me feel good. Something nice to hear,and relazing. Everything is perfect for my ears.

Music Video- 8, the mv is very simple yet I do love it for it's simplicity. I just think that it lacks some X factor, and I hope for something more than that. But it matches the song title Feel Good because the ending is quite funny.

Individual Performance- 8, it is usual that Yonghwa got the most exposure but I think this song features only Yonghwa and not the group. They are great each one of them, Minhyuk's drumming skills, both guitarists they do have exposure but I think they need more time.

Concept- 9, i love their concept, and everything falls into place. It was just that I think something I expect from CN Blue.

Artistic Style- 9, they are really amazing and talented. This band is unique as compare with other groups.

Total= 44 out of 50

Teen Top- Rocking Dance Version

Musicality- 10, the beat is so catchy,it is really good, and it is really a nice song for party people!

Music Video- 9, for the music video, this video that I feature is the dance version. And it is really helpful because if you will watch the original mv, then you would find the dance very hard. But this video make it look like easy. I dare you, if you say that this is easy then try dancing it and you will know. Nice and very precise mv.

Individual Performance- 9, though they all perform very well, i think each and every members need to work more to achieve a perfect 10. some members do lack a little bit attention. 

Concept-  7, nice concept but not that appealing to me.

Artistic Style-  9, they all do perform very well. They're voice is nice and they are individually very unique.

Total= 44 out of 50

BTOB Thriller

Musicality- 9, though I would love to give it a perfect 10, but the first time I heard this song it kind a make me feel a certain creepiness. And that is a bad thing because it makes me don't want to listen to it. But now, I love it so much, I do understand now why it should be that way. And the way it is is great.

Music Video- 10,  it is very amazing. Great music video. Very catchy, makes me want to see them personally. Nevertheless it is really an eye stopping video, you would definitely rape the replay button.

Individual Performance- 9, they are very good. They perform so well and they do really shows great talents.

Concept- 10, very nice concept. So unique and matches the famous line Thriller. They really do have such a great concept.

Artistic Style-  9, compare to their previous songs they really improve a lot. And they also shows great talent here.

Total= 47 out of 50

J.Y. Park Had Enough Parties

Musicality-  9, I love the song itself. The chorus part is really nice. 

Music Video- 9, I could have given it a perfect 10 but the first part is quite long and so it makes me feel kind a bored. But the mv is really meaningful. Very nice idea.

Individual Performance- 10, he perform very well. He is just alone, but he owns the whole song. Good job!

Concept- 10, I love the concept to the nth power. So meaningful. He is so smart to even think of this concept. Nice, I would definitely never forget this song.

Artistic Style- 10, I never expected him to perform that well. He owns the stage.And this is the 1st video I saw from him, but I do love his performance.

Total= 48 out of 50

BTS N.O

Musicality- 8, nice song, but I guess it just come out too strong for me. But they're song is amazing.

Music Video- 9. nice mv. Very original, and out of this world idea. It is beautiful, and I like the mv.

Individual Performance- 8, I am just new to BTS, and when I see this video I just think that it was so hard to see each one of them, and make them stand-out or individually saw their talents. It just lacks a little bit of focus.

Concept-  7, the concept is nice, but I guess for me I am just looking for something that will be more powerful and will leave a great impression on me.

Artistic Style- 9, I can see as a rookie that they are so talented. They do shows off a great potential, and over-all they are above their level as a rookie.

CN Blue Lee Jungshin's birthday

Live Like You're Dying ( The search for my happiness)

To begin with, I don't know what language to use in writing this, more of I wanted more people to understand this story telling I'm going to make so I wanted it to be in English, but then I wanted to add in it an extra personal touch that's my I wanted to use my native tongue. So at the end I decided to make use of the two languages that I'm familiar with- English and of course Filipino. So expect to see a mixture of English and quite some Filipino words (which I will translate in English using parenthesis).

Let me ask you... Have you ever heard the song Live like we're dying? I know it's quite an old song, but I just heard it just a couple of days ago... IMAGINE!! Yes! I admit I'm not that fond of other songs except Korean, don't blame me for being a k-pop fan :) But this song is just few of the songs, I really listen other than K-pop... And to those whose been caught by the Hallyu wave and haven't listen to this song, well you better hear it now, because my story, will revolve around this song and also this is something worth listening believe me.!

Yes we've gotta live like we're dying coz we only got 86,400 seconds in a day to turn it all around or to throw it all away. The chorus part is so interesting that it makes me want to turn back all the time, and maybe think over my past actions. Actually, I'm the type of person who don't want change, change that I'm not accustomed to, change that isn't something that I've learnt from my family. It's just that I have so many restrictions in life, too many things I don't wanna try, too many principles I hold in, and because of those things I even let go so many opportunities to try it just even once.

I admit that until now, I don't change that attitude of mine, because it's the only thing I've got and proud of, but this song, literally blow my mind, nagulo ang isip ko at hindi ko man aminin ay apektado ako kasi alam ko na OO pano kaya ( my mind is in a state of confusion and even if I don't admit it, I'm affected of it because I know that what if) if a plane fell of out the sky who will I say my last goodbye, is there somebody that I can tell my last good bye, will there be no regrets if that happens to me.?

So many questions that this song left to me. And maybe the answer that I've known isn't the answer that I needed, but I'm trying to look for it until now. I won't waste the seconds that I have in my life, as they say by a famous cliche "Time is gold" :) and indeed it is.

Yes, I can't give up things that I've been believing all my life, but this song made me realize that there is no harm in trying, you should do it even just once because life itself is full of uncertainties. I won't change everything, I'll just do it one step at a time, I'll do things that I believe will make me happy, and if that time comes then I'll say that I've spend every seconds of my life trying what life can offer me best.. 

Thanks to my new found friends who let me realize this most specially to my new Kuya, Eugene Yumul who let me hear this song, and make me think over my life.... Thank you for letting me be part of your weir, new, but life that is full of excitement.

Kpop Republic in Manila

Yes! It is confirmed...! After weeks of rumours finally EXO-K will have Philippine concert in September 7. This event is called K-pop Republic. Aside from EXO-K, Shinee, and Dalshabet will also be performing on the said event.

The rumors were first confirmed through a post by Araneta Coliseum, a popular concert venue in the Philippines, through their official facebook and twitter accounts.

Fans speculation started when Araneta Coliseum first posted this
 "Noona neomu yeppeo
XOXO  ‎#TheBigDome ‎#NoOtherVenue," thus fans talks about the group Shinee and EXO coming here. It was later followed and attested that it will definitely happen when they posted

“Get ready for ONE EPIC KPOP SHOW this coming September at THE BIG DOME. Like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter @TheBigDome. Also, catch the latest updates on the biggest shows and hottest events in the country by also following TicketNet@TicketNetPH. ‎#NoOtherVenue,” this was their original post in the facebook account together with the music video, EXO-K Mama, the group debut song.

On the next day they posted another music video which is Dalshabet's Be ambitious

In reply to all questions concerning this event Ms. Happee Sy posted the above picture which is later followed by her tweet regarding ticket prices.

 So, another KPOP event for Filipino fans is coming. Sad to say EXO-K will come without EXO-M, but then we have no control about their schedule. Start of #iponing mode now. :)

Blue day with my Blue Love

It's been a week since I last saw the four members of CN Blue Jung Yonghwa, Kang Minhyuk, Lee Jonghyun, and Lee Jungshin but it seems I can't get enough of their virus. June 14, marks my calendar as I was one of those fans who scream their voice out, and waited there for almost 8 hours ever since SM Megamall (which is the venue) to house CN Blue.

It was one hell of a great experience, for me as a fan girl. I did actually wake up early just to go there early, even though I know that the entrance are still closed. Together with my best friend whose also a Boice, we did look for a place which we think would open first so that we can enter early (HAHA :) imagine how desperate we are). And YES! we did stay on Mc Donalds until almost all customers inside of Mc Donalds are BOICES! (BOICES, will do anything just to see them up close). And then when they opened the entrance, what to expect but a marathon of fan girls and very few fan boys running to the ground floor thinking only to be first in the line with the price of seeing CN Blue close.

They started letting us in, and I would say sorry but I think they should have organized it more, it was just so uncontrolled that I pity those who were hurt a little and I even saw a sandals left ( maybe she run and forgot about her sandals, Cinderella don't forget your sandals). We did actually got a good spot at the front and center side (but that's just what we thought). Staying from 10:00 was so exhausting. Fans just keep pushing each other ( I swear I'm not that happy to be in front, I just felt exhausted and my friend even got hurt due to it).

But I must say that it's ALL WORTH IT!! Worth it a MILLION TIMES. I would never forget how just the mere entrance of CN Blue changes what I feel, from excitement, to exhaustion, to happiness, to I don't know anymore it's mix emotion.

Minhyuk overwhelms me with his cuteness and I just cant help but to felt protective to him. He looks someone who you will love to take care (maybe its only me who felt that way) but take note I'm younger than him. And somewhat I love his boyish charms. Jungshin, is somewhat unexpected, yes he. Sorry to say but before I just don't find him worth looking the second time but now I wanna eat (and perhaps I will choke because of it) all of the words I've said before. His undeniably beautiful in his own way. He melts my heart with his efforts and kindness. Jonghyun, who happens to be my bias undeniably got me more intrigue. Well his just quiet, but I did accepted him that way. His smile melt makes me go insane, just seeing it. And he sure prove to be that his simply attractive like a magnet that kept me remember that his my bias. Lastly, Yonghwa who happens to be my first love kept me distracted ( a little bit HEHE :) or maybe more) because of his charms that make my eyes look at him (UGGGH!! it's hard to look at them all). His maturely handsome and I love it. Over-all they all steal my heart and it make me more confuse than before.

The open press conference ended up so fast that I did not felt it. (If I could just stop the time!). And me despite being irritated at first, was changed into someone who can't remove my smile on the face. Worth it, that I saw them. Just that I envy those who receives roses, and I've wished that I also did receive one. But anyways I'm super to the nth power happy with what happen. I've got to see the boys (if I did not I miss a part of my life) and met kind and loyal Boice members.

Boyfriend ON & ON

ADDHJKKM1HDDGMJ9P2BH96NFBS!!!!!

WOW!! Boyfriend is back with their digital single ON&ON and I would say that I LOVE IT 1 million times. I swear that's how I love it. It melts my heart since Boyfriend has shown in their last 2 albums an image of some manly and cool guys with Janus and IYAH (that I also both love), but this it's absolutely refreshing and kinda makes me happy the entire time watching it. Just a laid back style- 6 cute and hot guys imagining having a road trip showing their playfulness, uggh! isn't it a sweet treat for bestfriends whose been waiting for their comeback.

Well except for the music and lyrics that I love in here, I also just love how all the Boyfriend members here look so good most specially Hyunseong. There is just a lot of improvement from him. And don't hate me but honestly before I can't feel his presence that much except when his singing (since he got quite a voice), but here Starship Entertainment did give some time for Hyunseong to shine. Thanks Starship!! YEYY!!! Jeongmin looks so adorable like child in here.  I like how his being so playful especially in this part. LOLS :) Of course other members also looks so funny.

Minwoo here looks really dashing. Well his in charge of the aegyo so I'm not shock to see him being like that, but it make me smile just looking his face. I'm also shock that his skating, I dunno if he really can do it or just that they make it appears so. Anyways it reminds me of Zelo of BAP and Minwoo doing it makes me love him more. Donghyun our leader also do did hilarious things here which I did not expect for him. But despite him being the oldest I did like him doing it. I don't know why? and I don't usually like guys doing aegyo in that age, and its so new to my eyes that I LIKE IT! The twins here are quite identical! HAHA! :) It's just too hard to identify them if you're just a new fan. Basically I do knew them for quite some time that's why I can. And it's makes me REALLY REALLY HAPPY to see the twins together. It's just me being over reacting but I think Bestfriends (Boyfriend'a fandom name) would like this. We don't seldom see the twins being close doing stuffs like that so it's really worth watching them.

The music is really relaxing that it would definitely catch your heart. I would definitely replay this always. Actually I did, a couple of a hundred times haha :) in just a day since release. Why? Because Starship promise that they will release some video if it will reach 100,000 views 24 hours from it's release that's why I'm up for about straight 6 hours and just added it on my playlist and let it play and play on and on and on... OPPS! Sorry that's just me being LSS in the lyrics haha! :) And while I'm on it listening trying to reach the goal I do answer questions about it on the comment box below. So good to help Bestfriend most likely new ones since they always ask like how to distinguish the twins.? Whose Kwangmin, whose Youngmin? That is always their question. And I love to answer back since that would help Boyfriend have a larger fan base, which I hope ( and I think it's happening now, gomawo! ) But I stopped since I have to sleep and it's late already and when I wake up for about 3 hours look what did I see...

YEY! Bestfriends achieve the 100k views in less than 24 hours.

Anyways this music video is far one of my favorite song of Boyfriend. THUMBS UP! for their hard work.
Anyways I did forgot to tell you that this was shoot in Japan, you'll see in the description box of their youtube channel all about it and more. (Quite sad because they're always in Japan. Oppas! Please do come to Philippines. HEHE :) Silly me!) but also to those who compare the mv to 1Direction which I do also love, maybe there's the similarity but for me it is always common to mv's to have like those theme but as I said read the description box and you'll see that they write that this is inspired by the British pop so basically 1D is a british boy group so maybe it's quite correct. (peace 1D fans)

Most importantly whatever Boyfriend make I still and will always love them. (Their 1st full length Japanese album is up for release... HEHE :) Just some endorsements.)

Suring basa ng Canal Dela Reyna ni Liwayway Arceo

(Maiksing suring basa noong ako ay nasa hayskul pa) :)

I.          Tagpuan

Inilarawan ang tagpuan bilang isang maburak, mabaho, at pinamumugaran ng mga iskwater. Sa lugar na ito ay tila nagrereynareynahan si Nyora Tentay. Ang lugar na ito ay simbolo ng mga tirahan ng mga mahihirap. Maraming pangyayari ang naganap sa lugar na ito at dito umikot ang pinaka-kalamnan ng nobela.

II.       Mga Tauhan

·      Pamilyang de los Angeles

Sila ay isang pamilyang may pagkakaisa at unawaan para sa isa’t isa. Masasabing isa silang halimbawa ng maayos at halos perpektong pamilya.

1. Salvador-ang padre de pamilya at mabuting asawa ni Caridad.Tahimik lang ito at bihira kung magsalita. Ngunit bawat katagang kaniyang binibigkas ay may lalim at kahulugan. Hinahayaan niya ring magdesisyon si Caridad basta sa tingin niya ay tama at para sa ikabubuti.

2. Caridad- isang napakamaunawaing ina sa kanyang pamilya.Labis ang kaniyang  pagmamahal at pagaalala  sa kanyang asawa lalo na sa kanyang mga anak na si Leni at Junior. Mayroon siyang malakas at matibay na kalooban. Hindi siya agad nagpapatinag sa anumang problemang kinahaharap.

3. Leni- panganay na anak na babae nina Salvador at Caridad. Nagtapos ito ng medisina kung saan pinatunayan niya ang kaniyang talino ng nanguna siya sa puwesto sa Medical Board Exam at kasalukuyang nag-iinternong doktor. Espesiyalidad nito ang Pediatrics at talaga namang makikita ang husay ni Leni sa panggagamot.

4. Junior-  bunso ng pamilya de los Angeles. Kasalukuyan itong kumukuha ng kursong Architecture sa isang unibersidad. Nais mang kumuha ni Junior ng abogasya ay tinutulan naman ito ng kaniyang magulang. Mahilig at maraming alam  si Junior pagdating sa mga paksa na tungkol sa pulitika at gobyerno. Dahil na rin sa pagiging mabuti at masunuring anak kaya sinunod niya ang desisyon ng mga magulang.

·      Pamilyang Marcial-

Ang pamilyang ito ay puno ng kaguluhan. Wala silang pagkakaintindihan dahil na rin sa di maayos na komyunikasyon. Hindi pinakikinggan ni Nyora Tentay ang kanyang anak na si Victor at pilit na pinasusunod ito sa kanyang mga kagustuhan kahit labag sa kalooban ni Victor.

5. Nyora Tentay- ina ni Victor. Hindi niya pinakikinggan ang panig ni Victor at kadalasan na siya ang nagdedesisyon sa anak. Siya ay isang taong sakim at mapanggipit.

6.Victor- ama ni Gerry at asawa ni Gracia. Sunud-sunuran ito sa kanyang ina. Hindi man kita ay mahal na mahal niya ang kanyang pamilya.

7. Gracia-asawang hinwalayan ni Victor dahil sa kagustuhan ng inang si Nyora Tentay

8. Gerry- anak ni Victor at Gracia

III.    Buod

Sa bayan ng Canal De La Reina, si Nyora Tentay ay ang may kaya sa buhay kung kaya’t siya ang nilalapitan ng lahat ng naninirahan doon upang mangutang dahil sa kakapusan sa pera. Ngunit dahil na rin sa pagiging gahaman ay imbes na tumulong sa kapwa ay ginagamit niya pa ang sitwasyon nila upang maglagay ng malaking interes sa mga mangungutang.

Ang bayan nila ay sumasalamin ng kahirapan ng buhay dahil na rin sa katiwalian at kasamaan ng ugali ng mga opisyal ng gobyerno.

Isang araw nalaman ni Caridad na binili ang kanyang lupang pag-aari, di umano ni NyoraTentay mula sa dating katiwala nila na si Osyong. Dahil sa pag-aagawan nila sa tunay na may-ari ng lupain kaya hindi naiwasang magkaroon ng alitan sa pagitan ngdalawa.

Ngunit isang di inaasahang napakalakas na bagyo ang dumating sa bansa at apektado din ang bayan ng Canal De La Reina. Naging dulot nito ay ang pagkakatangay sa baha ng mga naninirahan sa Canal de la Reina at hindi nakalagitas maging ang bahay ni Nyora Tentay. Sa di inaasahang pangyayari ay napunta sa pamilyang de los Angeles ang mga papeles ng titulo ng bahay ni Nyora Tentay sa pamamagitan ni Ingga ngunit pinili pa rin itong isauli ng pamilya dahil nais nilang maging patas.

Dahil na rin siguro sa mga pangyayari ay naisip na ni Nyora Tentay na masama ang kanyang mga ginagawa. Tinanggap nito ang kanyang pagkatalo at ibinalik ang lupa sa tunay na nagmamay-ari.

IV.    Bisang Pangkaisipan

Kapit sa patalim, mga katagang naglalarawan sa mga taong nakatira sa Canal De La Reina. Dahil na rin sa kahirapan ng buhay kung kaya naman marami ngayon ang handang gawin ang lahat mabuhay lamang sa pangaraw-araw.

Ang akda ay sumasalamin sa tunay na kalagayan ng lipunan malayo sa inaakala nating malafairytale na mundo. Natutunan ko dito na maraming tao ang mapagsamantala sa kalagayan ng mga mahihirap. Ang mga mayayaman ay lalong yumayaman, samantalang ang mahihirap ay nanatiling mahirap.Kalagayang magpasahanggang ngayon ay namamayani sa ating lipunan.

Tunay ngang marami pang bagay na hindi natin alam sa mundong ito. Ngunit isa lamang ang di nating matatanggi, na bulok ang sistema at maraming nagdudusa sa mga taong walang malasakit sa kapwa.

V.       Bisang Pandamdamin

Masakit mang aminin ngunit ang mundong ating ginagalawan ay kahindik-hindik ang sitwasyon. Marami sa ngayon ang kalagayan sa buhay ay lubhang nakakaawa. Sa akdang ito pinukaw nito ang aking awa gayun na rin ang galit sa mga mapangabuso at tusong tao. Isang makaantig damdaming nobela na sumasalamin sa kabulukan at kasamaan na namamayani sa mundo.

VI.    Bisang Pangkaasalan

Dahil sa akdang ito ay natutunan kung gaano kahalaga na igalang at irespeto ang pagkatao ng bawat isa sa atin. Dito pinamulat niya sa akin na mas mahalaga ang maging mabait, matapat, at matulungin na hindi mapapantayan ng anumang salapi.

Ang mundo man ay pinaiikot ng salapi ngunit dapat ay hindi tayo magpatangay at labanan ang mapangaping sistema ng ating lipunan. Lagi nating isaisip at isapuso na maging pantay ang pagtrato natin sa ating kapwa tao at huwag abusuhin ang kalagayan nila.

VII. Mensahe

Ang nobela ay tumatalakay sa iba’-ibang isyung panglipunan na magpasahanggang kasalukuyan ay nagaganap pa rin. Mahirap man o mayaman ay sangkot sa mga pangyayaring ito. Buhat nito maraming tao ang apektado sa kasalukuyang sitwasyon ng ating lipunan. Isa sa mga tinatalakay nito ay ang hindi maayos na pamamalakad ng batas sa ating bansa. Dahil sa kawalan ng hustisya ay maraming tao ang nawalan na ng tiwala sa gobyerno. Lumalala ang kriminalidad at maraming tao ang ipinagsasawalang bahala ang mga batas.

Ngunit pinakita rin nito na lahat ng tao ay may pagkakataong magbago. Masama man tayo kung gugustuhin naman natin na magbago ay maaari. Ang tao ang pumipili ng kaniyang tadhana. Kung gugustuhin natin ay maa

ari natin baguhin ang lipunang nakasanayan. Kahit kalian ang kasamaan ay hindi nanaig.
