about the webmistress

There’s so much more about this smile. You just don’t know. This is the web portal of a fifteen-year-old feline who grew whiskers and paws. As much as she loves dwelling in her solemn, gloomy little own world – she is also thought to be a nonsensical and ill-mannered child who eats anything but food.

Yo. It’s Rachee.

Rachelle Angeli B. Marañon for short. HAHA. I love purple. I accept friends and comments. I laugh, I love, I shop, I cry. I do everything I want; I’m still young, wild and free. I know my boundaries, mistakes and flaws. I spill secrets. I’m bubbly. I’m not aiming for the perfect me but the better me. I do what’s right or maybe wrong, but I still make of it. I laugh at myself if I did something silly. I can control my temper and everything that should be controlled. Everyone knows that life is crazy but wonderful. It can be unfair, but not at all times. I can be your worst enemy or best friend. I am weird, but not that simple. I have realized something that I should have been realizing earlier, still seeking for true friends and for my knight in shining armour. Patiently waiting and I wish they’ll come sooner or later. I don’t believe at love at first sight, nor at times even at true love. Everyone has an individual ability to make a person happy, and I can make you happy, but sometimes I can make you cry. Some people hate me but I don’t mind them because they’re insecure. I take many pictures. I had swollen my pride; my past memories are still treasured. You are welcome in my heart and I swore I won’t forget you. Keep that curve on your face; keep smiling!

Xoxo,
Gossip Girl

"Are there any significant experiences you have had, accomplishments you have realized, that has helped define you as a person?"

Aristotle once said, "Knowing oneself is the beginning of all sagaciousness." Thus, knowing oneself is the foundation of personal magnification, the commencement of an individual to fully acquire the essence of life. Being acquainted with yourself is not accomplished by merely visually examining your reflection as you stand in front of a full-length mirror, but is gradually acquired, as yourself, your very own mentor, teaches you every aspect of it.

As a teenager, I could not disavow nor escape the fact that I am also in the middle of knowing myself and knowing the world. Knowing in a sense of learning through my challenges in life, achievements, failures and learning through my relationship with God and with others. Teenage life is indeed a tough part, for the reason that I get to visually perceive a clearer view of life - which is not about any of my childhood dreams and happy endings but it is about the reality that, without a doubt, it is a rollercoaster ride of muddled up sentiments, unreturned perplexities and caught up thrash about.

I find it hard to succumb to slumber, though the downpour of rain should've alleviated it. My insanity level roamed up high, misery went up to me, my hazelnut orbs turned red for crying, as I contemplate profoundly and once asked God. "Do you really play equality and fairness to all of your creation? If yes, then why can't you grant my desire, to be in the highest section of our school were I did my very best just to be in it?" It is indeed a blasphemous act to question God with such a preposterous reason, but I was in the agony of disappointment, lost in the labyrinth for I was puzzled. After some time, I promised to myself that I have something more to prove and took it as a challenge.

As a dynamic figure enrolled in a quaint educational institution, my life as a student doesn't differ from anyone. A hectic schedule, loads of exams, terror teachers and competitive classmates. To sum up all of these, it is what you call pressure but this doesn't hinder me from pursuing my personal goals. Through my perseverance and determination, I got promoted.

To encapsulate everything, I have come to a realization that life isn't always about being on top but it is about how you make it to be on top. Failure is indeed unequivocally inevitably ineluctable, but how you take it, is up to you. For me failures are just stones in my shoe, I pause for a while and remove them, but they don't hinder me from walking forward. If we contemplate the old verbal expression, "Is the cup half empty or half full?", which is an perfect analogy of how we perceive and visually examine things. I learned that ups and downs are the ones that makes your life's journey more worthwhile. Every experience I encounter, may it be bad or good, plays an immensely colossal role in moulding my figure into a better one and helped me knowing myself. This may not be the pinnacle of knowing myself but with the help of my family, friends and especially God, sooner I will.

"Success is often the result of taking misstep in the right direction."
