𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿

The third of December lives in me like a quiet wound—small, invisible, always tender. You draped your gray sweater over my shoulders with that soft, unthinking kindness you give so freely. Your fingers brushed my skin, and for a single fragile second, I let myself believe you saw me.

Then Heather appeared.

And everything in you shifted—subtle, but enough. Your eyes warmed, your voice softened, and your whole world leaned toward her like it had always been waiting. She wasn’t unreachable; she was simply warm in the effortless way I’ll never be.

You said her name the way people say their favorite songs—soft, reverent, already half in love.

And when your hand slipped into your bag, I already knew. Not the gray sweater you’d placed on me without meaning—but your red one.

The one that mattered.

You held it out to her like a confession, and she blushed, and you softened, and I broke so quietly the world didn’t even pause to notice.

It fit her perfectly. It looked like it had been waiting for her all along. And suddenly the gray sweater on my shoulders felt loose, weightless—like something handed off in passing, not chosen with care.

People say jealousy is ugly, but heartbreak is worse. Mine was small, silent, humiliating. And the truth—the one I still choke on—is that Heather never deserved my bitterness. She was kind. She was gentle. She was someone someone could love.

I just wasn’t.

You didn’t notice. You never do.

Sometimes I hold that gray sweater to my chest and pretend it kept your warmth. But it only ever smelled like winter—cold, distant, never you.

And the cruelest part?

It wasn’t just that she was Heather. It was that you looked at her the way I’ve spent years praying someone might look at me.

I wish I didn’t wish it.
But deep down… I still wish I were her.

𝗛𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗪𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿

“Children are not things to be molded, but are people to be unfolded.” — Jess Lair

Every child is born carrying a universe inside them—a mind bursting with questions, a heart full of dreams, and a spirit unafraid to imagine the impossible. But somewhere between childhood and adulthood, the world begins to dim that light: voices are silenced, dreams are dismissed, curiosity is treated as trouble, and creativity is boxed into rules and expectations.

On this World Children’s Day, we are reminded that our role is not to press children into shapes that fit our standards, but to give them the space, freedom, and love to become. Children are not blank slates for us to write on; they are stories already unfolding, waiting for the world to listen.

A child who is encouraged learns courage.
A child who is supported learns identity.
A child who is believed in learns power.
And a child who is loved without condition learns that they were always enough.

So today, let us fight to keep their spark alive—to build homes, classrooms, and communities where imagination is celebrated, not corrected; where mistakes are lessons, not failures; and where every child grows knowing that their voice matters.

Because when we protect the wonder in childhood, we protect the future itself.
Let’s raise a generation that never loses the light they were born with—a generation that grows up not smaller, quieter, or afraid, but brighter, braver, and unstoppable.

𝗟𝗢𝗢𝗞: The European Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines (ECCP), in partnership with the Embassy of Ukraine in the Philippines, alongside its Official Embassy Partner, Curtis Go, held a special lecture titled “The Strength of a Nation: Resilience Through Democracy” at the University of Cebu Main Campus, Jones Building, November 13.

Renowned Ukranian journalist and author Nataliya Gumenyuk spearheaded the discussion, offering participants, including civic leaders, media representatives, academic personnel, student journalists, and student leaders insight of Ukraine’s unwavering commitment to democracy, justice and national resilience amid the ongoing war.

A moderated Q and A session, led by Ms. Brenette Abrenica, further deepened the dialogue,
allowing attendees to engage with Gumenyuk’s viewpoints, highlighting the crucial role of responsible journalism in sustaining democratic strength in times of conflict.

𝗔𝗰𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗦𝘆𝗽𝗻𝗼𝗦𝗜𝗦

As the first semester comes to an end, it’s time for the student portal to reflect Alas’ academic fate. For all the relentless school days endured—the deadlines, performance tasks, and late night studying for quizzes and exam—the outcome may not be as foreseen.

But at the end of the day, there’s more to enjoy and be thankful for in life other than grades. And no, this isn’t a form of gaslighting; it’s the spirit of resilience that matters most.

Every story will eventually face their own conflicts and problems. Sometimes, it disrupts the plot we desired—but the page will keep on turning. So don’t stop writing your story until the happy ending stands beneath your feet.
