“’Di na tayo tulad ng dati, kay bilis ng sandali.”
- Mula sa kantang Burnout ng Sugarfree

Ang Sugarfree ay isang Filipino rock band na sumikat noong unang bahagi ng 2000s. Kilala ang banda sa kanilang kantang puno ng damdaming madaling maramdaman ng nakararami. Ang kanilang kantang “Burnout” ay tumutugon sa mabilis na takbo ng buhay at pagbabago ng panahon. Pinapahiwatig nito kung paano nagbabago ang tao, ang relasyon, at ang damidamin natin sa isa’t-isa—at kung papano dapat pahalagahan ang bawat saglit.

May mga sandali sa ating buhay na tila mabilis lumipas—ang mga tao, lugar, at damdaming matagal na nating pinanghahawakan ay unti-unting naglalaho at nagiging alaala. Ang bawat pirasong bumubuo sa ating pagkatao ay taglay na kuwento, at minsan, may mga piyesang dapat nang bitawan.

Ang pagbitaw, gaano man kasakit, ay hindi laging nangangahulugang katapusan. Ito ay isang pagkakatao upang matanaw ang kabuoan ng ating sarili, para maunawaan ang kahalagahan ng bawat karanasan. Sa bawat haplos, bawat tawa at luha, natututo tayong yakapin ang pagbabago at tanggapin na hindi lahat ng piyesa ay mananatili sa ating piling.

Sa halip na paghinaan ng loob at mawalan ng pag-asa, ang linyang ito ay paalala na tayo’y may kakayahang lumago at matuto. Ang bawat karanasan, bagama’t may iba na nagdudulot ng lungkot at pangungulila, ay nagtuturo sa atin ng halaga ng bawat sandali kapiling ang mga taong pinakaminamahal natin. Ang mabilis na takbo ng oras ay hindi dapat maging dahilan ng panghihinayang at pagsisi; bugkus, ito’y hamon upang mas pahalagahan natin ang bawat oras at pagkakataon at mas ipagmalasakit ang bawat relasyong nabuo bago lumipas, maging kung nasa piling pa natin sila o wala.

Sa huli, sa kabila ng pagbabago, paglipas, at paglisan; ang pag-ibig—sa lahat ng anyo nito—ay nananatiling gabay at lakas. Pinapaalala ng kantang ito na kahit magbago ang tao, panahon at bakas ng nakaraan, may mga damdaming hindi kailanman nawawala at patuloy na mamayani sa ating mga puso. Sa bawat sandaling pinagsamahan, ay nagpapatibay sa atin at nagtuturo na pahalagahan ang minamahal, yakapin ang kasalukuyan, at magmahal ng dalisay at buo, dahil ang tunay na pag-ibig ay hindi lang nasusukat sa haba ng panahon kundi sa lalim ng damdaming nabuo—ito’y nagiiwan ng marka sa ating pusong hindi naglalaho. Ito’y nanatili at nagbibigay liwanag sa bawat hakbang, sa bawat pahinga, at sa bawat pagkakataon na tayo’y pumili muling magmahal.

There are days when courage feels hard to find. Times when everything seems uncertain and we quietly ask ourselves if we are strong enough to keep going. I’ve felt that same fear, the kind that makes you question your worth and your place in the world. But in those quiet moments of doubt, I have also felt the gentle reminder that I am never alone.

Joshua 1:9 says, “Be strong and courageous, for God is always with you.” These words remind us that strength is not about never feeling afraid, but about choosing to move forward even when fear is present. Courage is not something we find on our own. It is a gift that comes from knowing God walks beside us, turning our trembling into trust.

God’s presence is seen in the little things — the peace that comes after prayer, the friend who listens when you need it most, or the calm that settles in your heart when you finally let go. His nearness is what gives us the strength to rise, to speak, and to try again.

As Paulinians, we are called to live with that quiet courage. Life will always test our strength, but we never face it alone. For wherever we go and whatever we face, God is with us, and that truth is enough to keep us standing.

My Best Friend’s Wedding (1997)

“Some people are never meant for us, no matter how much we try to love them.”

Love comes in different forms after all.

My Best Friend’s Wedding is a film that lingers long after you’ve watched it, a story about friendship, longing, and the moments we fail to notice until they slip away. It is funny and clever, yes, but beneath all that laughter is a quiet ache that I recognize all too well, the ache of caring for someone deeply but knowing that life will move in ways you cannot control. Watching Julianne try to hold onto Michael, I remembered the friendships and bonds in my own life, the ones I take for granted because I assume they will always be there.

For us Paulinians, the film resonates in a way that feels personal. We chase grades, projects, awards, and the endless pressure to define our future, often forgetting the people who make the present bearable. Like Julianne, we sometimes realize too late the value of the connections we have, the classmates who laugh with us in the hallways, the friends who support us through late-night study sessions, the bonds that feel ordinary but are actually fleeting and precious.

There is a scene in the film where Julianne watches Michael with his fiancé, the celebration alive around him, and for a moment everything she wants seems impossible. This made me realize how often in our own lives we are so busy striving for success that we forget to pause and be present with the people beside us. The film reminds me that love, friendship, and connection are not achievements to be earned, they are treasures to be felt and held, even if only for a moment.

By the end, Julianne learns that letting go can be the most selfless act, and I think about how we, as students must also learn to cherish the people around us before it is too late. Are we truly noticing the friends who matter, or are we only racing toward the next milestone? When we look back, will we remember the grades, the accolades, or the laughter, and the friendships that made school life bearable?

My Best Friend’s Wedding reminds us that love comes in different forms, some fleeting, some enduring, and some that leave a mark even if we cannot hold onto them. For Paulinians, it is a call to live fully, love genuinely, and treasure the people who make our fleeting years feel infinite.

The annual World Mental Health Day is celebrated every October 10th, with each year marked by a specific theme. In 2025, the theme is “Access to Services – Mental Health in Catastrophes and Emergencies.” Established in 1992 by the World Federation for Mental Health (WFMH) and now supported by the World Health Organization (WHO), this observance carries a mission that is especially timely in today’s world: to raise awareness, break down barriers caused by social stigma, and bring focus to the mental well-being of every individual.

Did you know that 1 in 8 people worldwide experience mental health challenges? Depression, in particular, is the leading cause of disability globally and affects people across all ages and backgrounds. With that statistic in mind, we must face the sobering reality: classmates who struggle silently, parents who carry invisible burdens, friends who smile while hiding pain, and individuals who believe they must fight their battles alone.

This day should not be marked by passive observance—it should be a nourishment of understanding, a reminder that, truly, “No man is an island.” As human beings, we are connected emotionally, bound by our innate capacity to love, to listen, and to embrace one another.

World Mental Health Day calls us to change this reality. It urges us to look beyond statistics and see the people behind them—to listen without judgment, and to create spaces where it is safe to say, “I need help.” Mental health care is not only about therapy or medication; it is also about kindness, community, and connection.

Finally, let us remember: Mental health is not a luxury — it is a human right, and it forms the foundation for a life of dignity, hope, and growth. Together, as Paulinians, we can build a world where no one has to suffer in silence—serving and embodying Jesus’ charity, benevolence, and love.
