The Man Who Breathes The Simpsons
By Ralphe Lawrenze Alarcon
EVERYONE has different fate we are to endure begins with a significant step. However, each of us makes diverse crafts. And the crafts we add swirls and colors to this world. If all these are combined powerfully and used prudently, we will be rewarded the utmost endowment plaque of recognition that we can have in our entire life.
A story of being no one to someone is quite ordinary yet what a man wants to purse is rare. Furthermore, from the sea of nothingness to towering height of excellence, everyone should face the reality that nothing is instant in this land. Everything undergoes change and we should not just go with the flow but fight against the currents of raging sea.
Somewhere beneath the rainbow, there are men who are eager to attain their kaleidoscopic dreams, like this man who goes by the name Jess Espanola. This man who hails from Lubao, Pampanga still kicks in after 52 summers and has proven himself that beyond the conflicts he faces, there lies a brighter tomorrow.
For a fact, this man has been marked way back in 70’s, an Isko or Iskolar ng Bayan as he graduated in the University of the Philippines with a degree in Fine Arts and this has paved his aisle to the gateway of victory. And we all know that living in college is tough but showing an exemplary performance in a university like the University of the Philippines happens in one in a million.

His time in the University of the Philippines rendered him utmost trainings and discipline for a hundred and one percent for the master of his craft. Then he took a big leap when he entered the world of Springfield where the fanatical Homer, Marge, Bart, Maggie and Liza Simpsons reside. This time, more opportunities knock to his door but then more challenges to face but the time he had in the past made him stronger than what he was before.
And who would think that a boy who was in the midst of hunger started to dream of a good life using his ability to draw pictures to pursue a career? The path that he went through was rough that a person with not enough determination and perseverance would just give up and choose the easy way out but he became an unwavering character.
After discovering his talents, he persisted on improving his ability. But it’s not all about financial stability but more on spirituality. A man who believes counting success is just making himself frustrated. Likewise, the Greek aphorism says “Man, know thyself” is what he keeps and knowing himself better will lead him knowing God.
And in the days of 21st century where diverse catastrophes and agonies strike the Philippine race, there are still some people who raise hand and help in alleviating the socio-economical issue of our country and prove the world that a Filipino can stand against smashing gales.
