"Forever Kween"


"Forever Kween"

By: Ma. Irish B. Medalla

Life is short indeed. We may not know when will be our last day here on earth. That is why we should always value every single moments that we had with our family and friends. While we can still help other people, then why not give the things that could make them feel better?

I bet this story could make our lives more useful than ever. This is not just an inspiring story yet a life changing one too that could just make you realize the true essence behind the four yet meaningful word "life".

Lloyd Cafe Cadena also known as "Kween LC" is one of the original Filipino video/content creators in the country. He is born in a poor yet happy family. That is why his parents work very hard to provide their needs. For him to be able to help his family even at his young age, he started to make videos since 2011 and Till his very last breath. 

His earnings as a vlogger run through his family and community. What a very selfless accomplishment indeed. He helps his family at the same time his community especially the children. He is not just a helpful and kind human yet also a humble one according to his friends. Despite his not so large earnings in making funny and entertaining videos, he still finds a way to help even in just a small and simple act of kindness.

He even helps his fellow member of the "LGBT" community which are the "Bakla ng Taon" also known as the BNT. Lloyd doesn't consider them only as friends but for him, they are a part of his family. He wants them to be successful like him.

These last few months, he had just bought a brand new house and lot for his mother who is a retired OFW in the Middle East. He even bought a brand new car which is all the results of his hard work when it comes to the vlogging industry. Vlogging is really his life, because of it all of his dreams for himself and for his family came true.

But sadly, now that he had just reached his goals in life, a very devastating and unbelievable situation happened. At the age of 26, our beloved Kween LC have just died. For an unknown reason but others say it is because of cardiac arrest. This is truly one of the tragic things that happened for all of us. You will surely be missed Kween, especially your iconic line in your vlogs which are the "Gusto Mo Yon? Gusto Ko Yon!" You will forever be our one and only Kween LC. Rest In Paradise Kween Lloyd Cafe Cadena.

His story just proves to us that, life isn't just about receiving something but it is also giving and sharing the things that we have to other people. Also, to treasure every moment that we had with our loved ones. This also proved that being selfless than being selfish is key to a happy and meaningful life for all of us.

WHO IS THE REAL WINNER IN LIFE?

WHO IS THE REAL WINNER IN LIFE? By: Wei Won People may laugh at you along the way, People may refuse to help you because they believe that you cannot return the help they’ll give, People may humiliate you for being nobody, People may treat you like you did wrong to them, People may pull you down, You may feel drowning in a part of a sea where no one else is able to help you, Your relatives may don’t consider you as their relative,  Your friends might lose their interest in you, You may lose your loved one, You may feel despondent, You may engulf by darkness, You may want to end your life,  You may want to give up, But before you do that, you need to read this! Dark moments in life are inevitable and that’s normal - we all go through that way. You are not alone in this battle, again, you are not alone. We all struggle and suffer from the pain caused by the toxic people in our environment. Never punish yourself just because people are making you feel that you’ve done wrong to them even i

Forgotten Vows of the Carabaos

Forgotten Vows of the Carabaos By: Gabrielle A. Palma   Stinking smell that lingers in the nose as the tears are dripping rapidly from the eyes. The heart is slowly shattering as the feet unhurriedly walk towards the awful corner. In her arms, there lies an existence—a wonderful one. Yet vanishes and expires as she rests it on the surface. Drifted away and suddenly, “Ay! Tae ng kalabaw.” Stepped on the disgusting thing coated with nasty guilt. Beside, is a child—abandoned and forgotten.  Living in a twisted system ruled by various oppressors, life of the poor in the Philippines, is indeed a deprived one. Leaving every decision and fate with no choice, but to pull everything about them just to survive even if it means scratching a part of their dignity and principle.  This is where the circumstance of child abandonment enters the discourse lay upon the table. As the pressing issues continue to surge such as poverty that leads to a financial problem, broken marriage, and teenage pregnanc

Colors of Life: Lost in the Realm of You Through the Shades of Hue

Colors of Life: Lost in the Realm of You Through the Shades of Hue By: Armani A pair of rounded eyes was pierced in an unfamiliar thing left on the table. With confusion in the young mind, the small-boned child got closer. Those tiny hands touched. It was a cube with various of colors. Diverse and peculiar, the kid thought. She moved it counterclockwise and the next thing she knew she was in another dimension.  Way back until today, anything that works with the mind is still concealed in a stigma. Whatever dwells in the mentality of an individual seems to be obscured in a discourse. Hence, people that are struggling seems to seek a way of somewhat escape from the reality. One instance is the boom of “psychedelity.”  According to Humphry Osmond, a British psychologist, it lingers with mind manifesting. It deals with consciousness, altered senses and hallucination. On another note, it can be associated with expression of arts through animations, visuals and spectrums. Of hues and colors
