A Dream Come True

~Ira loves fan girling. She checks out all the updates of her idol Celine Dion. She joins a lot of games and different stuffs related to Celine Dion. One day she answered the question to the official website of Celine Dion and she won a trip to US and was chosen to meet up her idol and have an interview with her. The interview will lasts for five hours so she can take pictures of her, ask stuffs and get to know her idol better.

Ira: *after receiving the letter that she will meet up with Celine Dion* OMG.  I can’t believe this I won a trip to US and I will meet up with Celine Dion!!!!!!!! I AM DYING RIGHT NOW. *screams*

She started packing her things and fly to US.

Ira and Ms. Celine Dion will meet up at a studio where Celine Dion does her music.

Ira: I can do this. I am so excited to meet her. I can’t wait!

Ira enters the studio and there Celine Dion is waiting. She was dazzling. She was really beautiful. She was tall, white and gorgeous.

Ira: H…iii…(Oh my gosh I think I’m going to faint). *kissed and hugged Celine Dion*
I can’t still believe that I am actually touching my idol.

Celine Dion: Don’t be nervous. This will be fun. But before that I want to congratulate you. Your answer was the best to our question “Why you want to meet Celine Dion.” You’re answer came from the heart. I felt it.

Ira: I’m so flattered. Thank you so much.

A girl enters and gave us Starbucks coffee.

Celine Dion: So tell me about yourself.

Ira: I’m Ira Cristina Santos from the Philippines. I am such a big fan of yours. Me and my mom collects all of your albums. We are actually obsessed with your voice and songs.

Celine Dion: That is so cute. So you are a singer too?

Ira: I do sing but I am not that very good at it. I am just an average singer.

Celine Dion: Well that isn’t a bad thing. Everybody starts with zero. Just keep practicing and maybe one day you’ll be famous too.

Ira: Awww. That was really touching thank you so much! Uhm. I would like to ask you some questions. J Where do you get your inspiration in writing this wonderful songs?

Celine Dion: Well, I get my inspiration form my family, my kids, and of course form my own experiences. I am able to write these songs through my experience all the things that are happening to me or to somebody.

Ira: Ohhh. Since when did you love singing?

Celine Dion: I don’t know the exact date but maybe since I was born. I used to join a lot of singing competitions when I was young.

Ira: That’s really amazing! What can you say to all your fans out there who will never get tired of supporting you?

Celine Dion: Thank you so much! I owe you my life.

Ira: Uhm this may sound embarrassing but can I share a story to you?

Celine Dion: Of Course. Feel free!

Ira: I remember when I was seven I joined a singing competition. I let my nerves get into me. I wasn’t able to sing well and I forgot most of the lyrics. I felt really embarrassed that day. I think that’s why I had a stage fright.

Celine Dion: Don’t be! It all happens to us. We all learn from our experiences. Sometimes you just need to be confident. Actually you have to be confident and you must believe in yourself. I believe that you are a good singer. You don’t have to care about the people who try to down you. Just believe in yourself and trust me you will be successful in anything you do.

Ira: gosh. Thank you so much. That means a lot! For my last question before we end this which I don’t want to end because I want to know you better. Can you give some tips and advices to those who want to follow your footsteps?

Celine Dion: Believe in yourself. Discipline is also a key. Determination and as long as your happy with what you are doing you will be successful. You have to be confident, don’t be pessimistic. Always believe in yourself. You can do it!

Ira: Thank you so much. This is the best day ever. This day will not be forgotten. It was really nice to meet you.

Ira: But before we end this can you sing for me? Pleaseeee?

Celine Dion: Of course! I’d love to. What song would you love to hear?

Ira: Uhmm. A new day has come.

Celine Dion: Okay then!

Ms. Celine Dion sings for Ira. After singing she hugged and kissed Ira. She gives her bouquet of flowers, posters and her albums with her signature on it. They took a picture together and she left.

After the interview Ira can’t still believe that she met her idol and she actually interviewed her. She learned so many things and it was a dream come true.

9 Stations of Violation

9 Stations of Violations by Sayanistas

           

            ~You can never be called a student if you have never done any violation   (I think or I guess so) because sometimes if we don’t mean to do we were just pushed to do it because of reasons.

             Gus is an upcoming freshman a friend of his who is an alumni came with him to see and find out the station of violations being passed by sayanistas. Gus and his friend Red enter the first station of violation “The Gate”, here they saw the students without their ID’s wearing accessories, boys having their long hair and students with colored socks. They have seen how these students were punished. The naughty students were punished by doing 30- 50 squats to serve as their lesson to never commit the same mistakes again because if they did that again they will be given harder punishments by the battalion commander and his officers.

            As Gus and his friend continued travelling they reach the second station of violation known as “The Guidance Office” here they heard loud cries of students and screams of parents scolding their children. Gus felt a little bit bad for those students but they have been bullying their classmates and did so many offense making them suffer and punished by being warned and if they commit their third offense there is a transferee form given to them. These students are punished by the Councilor.

            Though Gus felt bad for these students he doesn’t have the right and power to help them, they have committed mistakes and they deserve a punishment…. So the two continued on their journey.

            The third station was “The Part” here they saw students who were so sweaty and have their shoes full of mud. These students are punished by cleaning their parts for they didn’t clean because they let their laziness win over their obligation.  The students are punished by their teacher and ask them to clean their parts. They can never attend their class until they finish cleaning.

            The fourth station was “The Pavilion” here Gus and Red saw these students holding hands and eating their food together with their boyfriend and girlfriend. The good thing about this is there are no kissing or huggings going on. They are being punished by their teacher and force them to be separated because they are too young to being in love. These students are guarded by their teachers and let them study first than having a date.

            The two continued walking and they reached the fifth station “The Gym”  here they heard a lot of screams, shouts and different combination of noises which irritated the two. These were the students who can’t control their energy, who were hyper all the time and do not know when to shut their mouths.  They are punished by standing the whole day and just clapping their hands, there were no noise allowed to be heard after the noise they have done.

            Now for the sixth station “The Canteen” students here are the ones who can’t stop going back and forth to the canteen. Who can’t stop eating and drinking. Who can’t stop talking while eating. These students are punished by their teachers.  For the seventh station “The Classroom” students some are sleeping and not paying attention a teacher who keeps on talking but bores most of the students making them fall asleep. These students are punished by their teachers and are forced to listen carefully because if they will not listen they will receive countless quizzes and exams. For the eight station it was known as “The HE” in here there were no students allowed to enter because there were guards. The students here are not allowed to make noise because there is a punishment waiting for them if they have committed a violation.

            The two reached their final destination, the last station of Violation “THE OFFICE” here it was so quiet, that quiet that the two was creeped out, they saw this parent with her child. Nothing to say, they were just listening to this “head of the school” which controls everything. They saw some of these tears falling form the mother’s eyes. Hearing these painful words from the head of the school that her son is no longer allowed to enter the school for he has been kicked out. There is no chance of going back. No second chances given.  The student has been expelled for the bad performance he has shown.

            Gus and Red felt really sad, they thought that students will be students if they have broken the rules and made violations. For some they felt bad and sad but they cannot do anything. He thought that travelling and entering the station of violation was a sign for him to study in CNSHS and that he will not commit those mistakes and offenses done by the students.

TXTING 2 MUCH? ( I DNT THK SO)

Is texting ruining your knowledge in the English language? That is the question that troubles the minds of the teachers and parents (nowadays).

First things first: I DON’T TEXT (a lot) or I just don’t really text. I have a cell phone but I only use it for playing games and internet. I do text but not that much. I just text if I need to. If I claim that I love to text then I’d be lying so I guess having a “not permanent” phone is a good thing.  Texting does not ruin my knowledge in the English language because as I said earlier, I don’t text except if I really have to.

Since technology found its place in our world, everything changed some in good, some in bad. Like cell phones, I phones, these are all products of technology which help us communicate.  Texting is one of the addictions  of teenagers or let’s call it  their habit nowadays. Actually not only teenagers but all the people around the world.  So many styles have been used in texting like these so called jejemons, bekimons and etc. Which bothered me, because these people use wrong spelling of the words like “Hello” they will say it as “eow po” which sounds awful and to be honest it is so irritating. It really affects their knowledge in English. How they compose sentences and the spelling of the words. These kinds of styles won’t even help them in the future. Maybe they did it for fame and so whatever but in my opinion, stick to what is right. I mean you can shorten some of the spelling of the words but adding z or h or giving styles to it, it doesn't look good.

I actually remembered that this kid who is a “jejemon” applied this style of texting in his class! If I was not mistaken it was featured in KMJS which I didn’t actually get, because this style contradict the teachings in English. He can use it in texting his friends or in chats but in school I don’t think so.

So okay, let’s just say that texting CAN ruin your knowledge in the English Language, but it actually depends on the person. She/he should know when and where to use it. So in short, let’s apply our learnings for our betterment not to be famous or whatsoever.  

~This is my opinion and I guess there is nothing wrong to be jejemon or bekimon or be a “text addict” as long as you know when and where to use it and of course we should still know what is correct. The correct spelling of words and correct usage of these punctuation marks.

A Little Treat

Semestral Break is rest days; lazy days; unproductive days; stress-free days. Semestral Break is one of the most awaited times of the students. How productive was my sem break? Uhmmmm. All I can say is I had a great sembreak. It was half productive days because I was able to finish all the school works and the other half was unproductive days because we went shopping, went malling, watch movies and I had fun with my cousins. But to be honest, I had more unproductive days than productive, which was pretty normal because sem break is a perfect time to rest and to be lazy.

 

The first three days of my sem break was lame.  It had something to do about how lazy I really am. My routine was sleep-eat-take a bath-sleep (again)-surf the net- check out ask.fm-sleep. To make it simple I was like a hog. Simply because a hog is lazy and the things it only do is eat and sleep(hahhaha). Good thing on the fourth day I realized that being lazy is really tiring. YES. Not doing anything is more tiring than doing stuffs. I didn’t expect that sleeping that much can also be tiring!

But during the fourth day of sem break, I started doing the home works which was an awesome feeling. It was an awesome feeling because finally I had accomplished something and made my day fruitful and worthy. The next days of my sem break revolved around surfing the net, watch tv , went to the mall, and check out ask.fm. Also, I have never seen my cousins for months already which made me miss them so much! Sem break was an opportunity for us to have fun! We watched the movie Thor, talked about so many things and ate so many foods. I had a great time!

All Saints Day
Picture with my cousins

Sem break is what I really needed because I needed sleep and rest and to have a break from all the school works.  Overall, I can say that my sem break was fun and at the same time rewarding. Rewarding because I was able to finish all my home works and the good thing is I didn’t cram in doing it because I finished it a head of time though I had more lazy dayssssss. The bottom line is sem break was a little treat for us students to be free from stress and my sembreak was really fuun and worthhhyy (worthy but with more lazy and rest dayss).

Head over Heels

To be honest, I don’t really know where to start with my blog.

                      LOVE? What is it? It is just a four-letter word that only exists in fairy tales, that’s how I define it until I experienced it myself. I can’t even say that I have been in love but with that indescribable feeling I felt, I believe it’s LOVE. Being in love and loved is such a great feeling! Love comes unexpectedly, you won’t even know if you’re in love already. It’s like your whole world revolves around him and you won’t even know that your falling with someone already. I believe that love waits, but when love comes to you, it will be so hard to turn back now. Even though you don’t like to be in love yet, you can’t stop the feeling.

            I met him about a year ago. He is a good looking guy and he’s quite famous in our school. We’re not classmates and were not even from the same year. I didn’t know how we became friends but all I remember is my stomach developed the different combinations of emotions whenever I see him and I couldn’t think straight. We started to know each other better and that’s where it all began. I didn’t expect that love will change me. There were sparks that flew when we had this mutual feeling. He had this strange ability to make me feel so special. He made me feel beautiful and he made me happy.

            Love is the strangest thing in the world. It even pushes us beyond our limitations. Love is cruel and gruelling, my definition of love changed after love made me lie to my parents. Yes, I lied to my parents just to keep this mutual understanding which is a crazy thing.  Those moments when you are feeling the pain of your loved one slowly slipping away in an ungracious and undignified way, which was the worst feeling ever. I would never keep a secret to my parents anymore. Maybe during those times I just wanted to be loved. I want someone to make me feel special, accepting the real me.  I don’t need a perfect guy. All I want is someone who can give his love to me. Who is a fighter that can protect me and fight those circumstances that will pass us.  A guy who is God- fearing.  A guy who can make me laugh and smile all the time through his own ways.

Our love story was sad because it didn't end the way I wanted it to end. But because of love I did stupid things which I shouldn't have done; because of love I experienced those empty nights and lonely days. But this love even for once in my life, I felt so special, that someone could accept the real me. He was my inspiration. Our memories will never be forgotten it will be treasured and will be a lesson. Everyone has their own turn. Maybe it wasn't my turn yet. I realized that I am a wild flower and he was a beautiful rose. We oppose in many ways but we still found a way to find our similarity and that is through love. Those butterflies in my stomach that I have during those days are now being released. I am now happy and I learned so many things. 

~Love is always associated with pain. 

~Love is just the hardest thing to explain.

~Love makes you go crazyyyy.

The Truth Behind History

              A long time ago in one of the lost island of Bermuda, there lived a powerful magician named, Prospero who saw horrible scenes that will happen in the future. He decided to change whatever may happen. He planned a cruise for the noble citizens of Italy and Scotland. All of the invited guests entered the cruise ship. But Macbeth was the last one to enter. The three witches appeared at the entrance of the ship. "Fair is foul, and foul is fair." They told him that he would be the next king of the two kingdoms, Italy and Scotland if he killed Hamlet. Macbeth was shocked of the witches revelation. He tried to ignore the saying of the witches. But greed devoured him and this trigger him to kill Hamlet. 

           The captain of the ship invited all the guests to join him for the special dinner. But Hamlet was not able to come just he was too tired and he wanted to rest. For Macbeth, everything went according to his plan. He went to Hamlet's room and stabbed him on his chest. No one saw what happened inside the room. The people just found out about the ruler's death after several days. Juliet saw the tragedy that happened to her father.

          The sky became dark as Macbeth's greed and heavy rain started to pour. The sea swayed the ship to and fro. The captain started to shout, "The captain goes down with the ship." Everyone panicked. The ship sank and all the passengers swam to the shoreline of the closest island, Bermuda. The citizens were shocked with what happened to the shipwreck. A lot of pressure was on Juliet's head so she confronted the people. "Why for all the people my father became the victim of the hideous crime a soulless man could only commit?" Romeo tried to comfort Juliet. "Fair maiden such anger does not value such wondrous beauty."

          Meanwhile, Antipholus of Ephesus was making love with his wife Adriana when Caliban saw them and had an idea. He told Claudio that Hero was the one making love with Antipholus of Ephesus. Claudio burst with anger. Claudio confronted Hero. But Hero has no idea of what he was talking about. Hero ran away from hero and she cried. Meanwhile, while evryone was sleeping Puck dropped the potion to Antipholus of Ephesus and Antipholus of Syracuse as what Caliban told him to do. When they woke up, Antipholus of Ephesus saw Hermia  and fell in love with her, same with Antipholus of Syracuse to Helena.

         They chased each other to find who is who and which is which. Adriana knew from Caliban that her husband, Antipholus of Epehesus, fell in love with Hermia. At the same time, Caliban told Juliet the truth about his father's death. Juliet went to Romeo and confronted him. They said nasty things about each other’s father that made them forgot about the love they had for each other. They killed each other for their fathers' honor. They both died with hatred inside their hearts. 

       After the tragic death of the young lovers, Claudio decided to apologize to Hero about the things he said to her. Claudio went up to the coconut tree and asked for forgiveness from Hero, he said that he would never go down until Hero forgives him.

       The trouble between Antipholus of Ephesus, Antipholus of Syracuse, Adriana, Hermia, Helena, Demetrius and Lysander was never fixed. So Puck decided to clean it on his own, he told the people to think of everything, every painful memories, every ecstatic experience, as if it was a dream.

My Teacher, My Hero

“They inspire you, they entertain you, and you 

end up learning a ton even when you don't know it” 

A wholehearted person, who has one of the longest patience ever. Someone who won't give up on you easily. Trying to ease things up. Our second parents. OUR TEACHERS. They don't need to wear costumes and masks to be remembered and to be known. For me I see them as a superwoman and superman. They'll be there when you need a friend whom you can tell your secrets and problems. A person who never gets tired of shielding you from all the bad attitudes. She's a  kind of a hero that couldn't fly or couldn't be invisible but they can open up your minds about the good things and reality of life. 

Teaching perhaps is one of the hardest and most underpaid professions but despite these things most of our teachers never waver their passion and commitment to teach and mold the minds of young people. Our teachers are our second parents. They give love, lessons and cares so much to us. I am really close to my elementary teachers but I never imagined that I will also be close to my high school teachers. To be honest I was really scared and nervous meeting my high school teachers for the first time (which is actually normal) but I never thought that I will also be close to them. They serve as the light that guide us to the right path. They give our lives direction. They're greatness could not be rated because they deserve more than a 100. With all the things they have sacrificed we should be grateful to have teachers like them. We may also have some bad memories with them like when you get scolded or got embarrassed in front of your classmates, this made us a better individual. And we owe this things to them. Whatever we have reached today, it's all because of our teachers. 

Without the teachers there would not be professionals in this world.~ We also don't need to wait for the teacher's day to thank them. We should actually say that to them everyday not in a typical way that we are gonna say it but in a way that we actually listen to them and get good grades, because for them that is the best part of being a teacher seeing your student leading to the right path. Even when sometimes we hate them or we had troubles understanding what they are teaching, still they will always be a part of our lives. They will never be forgotten. Our memories with them will always be treasured. 

HAPPY TEACHER'S DAY TO ALL THE TEACHERS IN THE WORLD! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING! 

Nothing Seems to be Permanent

Another Shakespearean piece which blew me away."Macbeth". It was like everything that Shakespeare creates it can totally be applied in our lives. It's like in his every piece there is  a hidden lesson for us to find out. 

"Fair is foul and foul is fair" a line which was said by the three witches in the first part of the story. A quote which was really difficult to understand, used simple words but with very deep meaning indeed. What is this supposed to mean?

For me, nothing seems to be permanent in this world. The only constant thing in this world is the word change. With the line thrown by the three witches I can say that it was a realization that sometimes the good people are the worst ones. The good people sometimes hide the ugliest truths.It can also be inferred that these people who you think are good changes and becomes the worst enemy. Another interpretation of mine is sometimes if you had this opportunity and you grabbed it then you became the most popular, most intelligent you tend to change your attitude and you turned out to be boastful. Sometimes when you have the power you tend to change attitude.And sometimes when you loose and felt defeated you try to do your best next time and you become the good one. It's like you have to experience both good things and bad things in life that will totally change your personality.It's only in your hands how you will cope up with these kind of situations; Will you still be the good one? or you'll change and be the bad one?

It's quite hard for me to explain everything so here's an example to put everything simple.

In the first part of the story the girl seemed to be the nicest girl! But then you wouldn't expect her to be so evil and competitive. When she won in every contest she became boastful. And the boastful one or the mean one in the first part of the story becomes the good one because she realized it when she was bullied also and was defeated.

A Midsummer Night's Dream

William Shakespeare is truly an amazing and most talented writers I have ever known. Another story of his which showed a lot of skills and imagination. A Midsummer Night's Dream, a story which tackles different kinds of genres, comedy, romance, and fantasy. I had really fun reading the story. The themes of the story was about difficulties in love, magic and the relationships between fantasy and reality and between environment and reality. 

What can be the most awaited part of all the readers? Of course it's the climax. The part of the story where the highest point of tension is read. This is where the struggle is found and how the characters will act to this struggle. In short, this is the BEST PART OF THE STORY!

For our Informal theme this week, we were asked to post what we think is the climax of Shakespeare's piece " A Midsummer Night's Dream".. First of all, when I searched for the climax of the story in the net, it says that it doesn't have a real climax. " In the strictest sense, there is no real climax, as the conflicts of the play are all resolved swiftly by magical means"

But for me the climax is found in Activity 3 scene 2. This part focused on the confusion among the four Athenian lovers. Now that both men have been magically induced to switch their love from Hermia to Helena, the vanities and insecurities of both women become far more pronounced. Helena’s low self-esteem prevents her from believing that either man could really be in love with her.

The two Athenian men end up falling in love with Helena instead of Hermia because of the potion. The young men fought each other for Helena's love making Hermia jealous. Afterwards the young girls fought through physical test but then turned out to be an emotional test. Good thing Puck was there to make peace with all the fighting going on. Puck’s magical ventriloquism is what prevents Lysander and Demetrius from killing each other. And thaat is the climax for mee. :))

Forgiving Has Never Been Easy

What's PAST IS PAST..... " I'm sorry, I promise it won't happen again." Are these phrases enough for you to forgive someone? Forget all the things she or he did to you?

People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered. We commit mistakes in life.  To remind you all WE ARE NOT PERFECT~ To forgive? YES; To forget? I DON'T KNOW..... 

"The best way to forgive is to forget?" Is that the way it is? What if someone hurt you, you felt like a truck hit you for five times and it crashed you down into pieces. Can you forgive this person? We forgive a lot but we can't forget what’s had been said and done .We are all wounded. We are all inadequate. 

There's a story I'd like to share about someone!~

♫♪And the hurt I feel is slowly dying..Now I'm no longer crying..It's leading to a new beginning And that's because I'm talking about forgiveness♫♪

She was young, immature but a girl who has a big heart.  She met this guy who she believed loved her like how she loved him. She has been fooled into thinking that she needs the boy to be happy. They kept on having communication... trying to know each other and they went to point where they felt LOVE? promises were said. But promises are really meant to be broken. After a few months, the guy decided to end their Mutual Understanding, which broke the girl's heart. She heard different rumors that this guy whom she loved liked someone else.. and the like. 

This made the girl realized that she should have knew it in the first place. Anger and frustration filled the girl's heart. Though this guy hurt him, she still holds on to these memories they had. Those happy moments... Though they were two different people with two different personalities they still found  a way where they fit.  These memories where they felt completely alive and loved. But maybe some fairy tales don't deserve a happy ending.

It was really hard for the girl to forgive the guy because she loved him. And for once she felt that she has been also loved. So she realized that maybe they aren't meant to be together. and they were young and in love. They don't know how to handle this kind of things. Now, they are now strangers with memories. She tried to forget EVERY SINGLE THING. It's like they never knew each other. She thought that it would be the best way for her to forgive and move on with this guy through FORGETTING everything. Of course at the beginning it was hard for her. She even had so many lonely nights thinking about it... but she grew better and mature. Now she is officially happy and freeeeee. Realizing that she made the craziest thing ever. But this pain changed her...:))

Forgiving and forgetting someone takes time. Especially if this someone had given you the worst memories and experience. But forgetting about the things someone did to you is reaally hard. But it still depends on the person how he/ she will forgive someone.. :)) to end this, for me, it will be hard for me to forget everything because the harm has been done. You won't let him or her enter your life again.. XDD

~ We were everything but we lost itt. We were meant to be supposed to beeeeee. 

Sporty VS Geek

We were made differently. Some are these so called " geeks" who prefer to study and read the whole day than to stay physically fit and do workouts. Some are these athletic people who excel in sports. These two differ a lot from one another. First of all, a Geek or a smart person excel in all SUBJECTS. While athletic people prefer to play sports and do daily activities than to stick with books and reading. Usually these athletic people are not that intelligent. It's not because they don't like studying but they were made for sports. They were made to be better in sports than in academics. While in intelligent people it is very rare to have an intelligent people and also sporty. Because when we talk of intelligent, smart, geeks we usually think of someone who is weak, doesn't do exercises and not good in sports. Even this two personalities differ from each other they do still have similarities. Excelling in sports or in academics both are obtained through practice and study. Academically Excellent people and sporty people must be determined, hardworking, and persevered for them to reach their goals in life. Both of these also gone through pains, and struggles but when they got hurt, this is when they get their rewards.

If I had the chance to choose between academically excellent person from a sporty person, I would choose to be an academically excellent person. For me, books first, studies first before anything  else. Because if I show good grades, it will lead me to a brighter future. My learning in school dictates my future. If I excel in academics there is a possibility than there is a bright future ahead of me, unlike in sporty people they're career isn't for lifetime. It's temporary, they can't be forever famous or they can't always use their sports skills in their future. But it doesn't mean that when you stick to becoming an intelligent person you will not do sports. We should be able to balance everything. Remember it's the learning that counts. Whatever you learn from sports or in school you should be able to apply it in your life that will help you. 

To sum up this topic, it doesn't really matter if your sporty; not sporty; intelligent : or not intelligent as long as you know where you really excel this will help you make better decisions in life. God has given you different talents and skills. We should be thankful of it. And remember it's how we use our learning , when and where to apply those. 

~ We were not made perfect. but we were made to be AMAZING.

October 1996,

To Marije

I am not surprise or wonder why Dennis leave you why? What reason can you think about but you’re very fat body. I thought before that Dennis only use me to his toy but sooner and later I’m realize that he really can’t not beared or stomached to be with you anymore because at first, Dennis say he could not stand you’re habit of making pakialam all his walks (lakad) and always calling to their house what he got home or this or that.

And then he say he get ashame to me either in school or in his family and then asking you to exercise you’re very very, very fat body. But you hate it. Thought you’re the most preetiest girls he knows about. What do you think you are “ Beautiful Girl” of Jose Mari Chan?

Even you are beautiful face ( to your think) you do not have the right to called me whatsoever or else difference name one time or the other for the real purposed to insults my personality because I’m never call you names either in the front of Dennis or in the backs of Dennis, but if you start already to calling me different name, I don’t have any other choice but to call you other different name to. Like you are a PIG, FAT, OBESSED, OVERWIGHT, AND UGLY SHAPE girl. Shame to you’re body that is to a BUDING.

You can’t not blame Dennis for exchanging you to me because I am the more sexier that you when you look to us in the mirror. I’m repeat again that you are like Lozada when she is a girl.

Love,

The sexiest Girl of D.M.

P.S.

You say that I’m the bad breathe but who is Dennis want to kissed. Me or you? And the final is me. There you go

REACTION:

I really had a hard time understanding this letter, because of the grammatical errors. To be honest, I had to read the letter for 6 times just to really understand it and to feel the message of the letter. The message of the letter was about the writer(new girlfriend) comparing herself to the ex- girlfriend(Marije). The writer said the reasons why Dennis left Marije. The writer kept on insulting marije because of her fat body. 

My revised vesion:

I am not surprise why Dennis left you. What other reason can you think of besides your fat body? Before I thought that Dennis was only using me as his toy, but  afterwards I realized that he can't bear to be with you anymore. First of all, because he couldn't stand your habit of interfering all his movements and your habit of calling at their house and keeps on asking when he will be home.

He also told me that he is ashamed of you, both in his school and to his family.He also asked you to exercise your fat body, but you didn't want to. So you thought that you're the only pretty girl he knows? Who do you think you are " The beautiful girl" of Jose Mari Chan?

Even if you think that you have a beautiful face, you still don't have the right to call me in different names just to insult me because I never called you using different names in front or even at the back of Dennis. But if you start calling me using different names I don't have any choice but to call you names such as PIG, FAT, OBESE, OVERWEIGHT AND A GIRL WITH AN UGLY SHAPE. Shame on your very fat body.

You can't blame Dennis for leaving you and making me his new girlfriend because I AM SEXIER THAN YOU. Again, you look like Lozada when she was a girl.

Love, 

The Sexiest girl of D. M.

P.S.

You said that I have a bad breath, but who does Dennis want to kiss me or you? And the answer is ME. There you go.

AN OUTLET FOR EXPRESSIONS AND OPINIONS (BLOGGING)

Blogging? At first I wasn't really that excited because I don't do blogging. But afterwards I have realized that blogging is the best way for me to communicate to other people, how I really feel and my opinions about different things. GOOD THING! Blogging exists. In blogging you can open up everything, no one can comment about  how ugly your work is or etc. It is like blogging is your outlet for expressing what you feel and what you think. It is like blogging is your only best and true friend that won't criticize you and won't get tired of your stories. You are free to open everything on it.

The question is, is blogging better than writing? For the past two years we experienced to have our informal theme through writing using our pen and notebooks. Which I found a little bit boring. Compared to writing, blogging is way over to the top. There are so many reasons why I prefer blogging than writing. First of all, we are given 2 DAYS to finish our blog. LIKE 2 DAYS. We can really put our hearts on it, we can feel what we are writing not in writing using pen and notebooks we were only given an hour to do it, which makes your mind cram. Also through blogging we can read the other blogs of your classmates. Which is really fun. You'll know their personalities, insights and opinions about different things.

Right now blogging has been one of my true friends. I am happy that I can open up myself freely without the different criticisms of different people. Blogging can really accept the real me. NO JUDGEMENTS NO CRITICISMS. I never expected that blogging could make me feel this way. relieved and happy. I don't want to stop doing blogs. I want to do it like FOREVER. I don't do blogging just for compliance, I DO IT BECAUSE I LOVE IT.

A Woman with a Noble and Intrepid Heart

" A character of someone possessing the qualities I wish I have." 

" Who can it possibly be?"

I have been staring at the mirror for so long and I keep asking myself, " Will I turn out somewhat like my mother?" " Will I be as successful and as happy as her?" Who knows? We don't hold the future but we're the ones making the choices and decisions in life for the betterment of our future.

My mother, the superwoman. my mother is not perfect but she is the best! During my times of darkness she has always been there for me. She had never turned her back at me. She never gets tired of serving the people around her. Her family, her friends and her parents. Though she is very tired the whole day, not a single word of complain can be heard from her. 

My mother is my life. I couldn't live without her. She serves as the bulb that lights up my world. She gives direction to my life. I am a fan of my mom. I love my mom for she is very optimistic. She is a strong woman.  She is really good when it comes to facing struggles and obstacles in life. I salute my mom for she has sacrificed her own career to see her children grow. She taught us that it's alright to fail and cry once, but next time you should be able to stand on your feet and learn how to fight. She showed and opened up my eyes to see the beauty and positive side of the world despite the struggles and obstacles.

My mom achieved the role of being a good daughter. She is a respectful and obedient daughter. A supportive sister. She helped her two other sisters to finish college, and of course the most awesome and coolest mom ever!

Now that I am a teenager, I am so happy for what I turned out. I am still young and I haven't live my life to the fullest. I still have so much more to experience. I acknowledge and thank my mom for everything. I hope I turn out somewhat like her. We do oppose some characteristics and I myself only can answer my question," Will I turn out somewhat like mother?" "Can I?" YES I CAN. Not because I have to but because I choose to. it's a big yes. I will try, I will do my best to be like my mother, a selfless, loving and a great person. 

To be or Not to be (Choice)

"To be or not to be" a short but very meaningful quote indeed. "Do I really need to do this? Can I just..? I don't know what to do" questions that always puzzle us. I think making decisions are one of the hardest thing to do. We are not perfect. We all make mistakes. But we can't just go on with the flow and rely our lives in destiny. We are the one choosing our own destiny. Whether we choose the right path or the wrong path, in the end it will always be our decision.

We should face our life, it's full of pain, happiness, pleasure, achievements, but we should  leave no path unclaimed.  We sometimes make the wrong decisions but it doesn't mean that you want to have a horrible life, it's just shows that all of us makes mistakes and from these mistakes we learn.

“Just keep asking yourself: What would Jesus not do? He will always be there for us, whether  we had committed the wrong decisions, with GOD nothing is impossible. He wouldn't give us any problem which we can't face.

I have been through struggles and circumstances in life. But it didn't made me weak,it made me into  stronger and better individual.

First choice that I had to make was taking the entrance exam in Cavite National Science High school.

I didn't think twice. I was very much eager to study there.It's in our family. My father is an alumni of CNSHS also my uncles, my cousins etc.

I was very excited entering high school life. It was very different from elementary. There was a time when I was in my first year I had been struggling so much. So much work to do, homework, projects, I am so stressed. I am just freaking out.  But instead of crying I have realized that I can do this, I CHOSE TO STUDY HERE SO FACE IT. I CAN DO THIS. At the end I didn't regret my decision in studying in Cavite National Science High School. I had so many friends, great teachers and I myself turned into a mature individual.

Another one is when I joined Ms.Math Camp. I think it has been 3 years ago. In the first place, I never wanted to join. But I have no choice. The worst part that happened there was what I did. My talent which was very epic . I won't elaborate that much but I think after that my dignity was gone. I don't have a face to show to people. They have been making fun of me after that which I also found funny but guess what is still hurts though. The feeling was full of shame. I am not blaming them to  make fun of it. But every people deserves respect. 

Good thing I am a proactive individual, it's like sure go on teasing me, I don't care. You all will get tired of teasing me.  But because of their insult, I just told myself just let them be. I think I regret  my decision of joining that competition but I think it helped me a lot in controlling my temper. I am  happy and I thanked them for everything because of them I became a better person.

To the people who are reading my blog. It's okay to commit mistakes. Remember don't make others do their decision for you. Have your own decision so that in the end you will not regret it.  DOn't think too much about the  future or about what if I regret everything I did? REMEMBER WHATEVER YOU DO AS LONG AS IT"S FOR YOURSELF YOU SHOULD BE HAPPY. ALSO FACE YOUR PROBLEMS WITH COURAGE. GOD WILL ALWAYS BE THERE FOR YOU.
