School's Almost Over

Wow...just a few weeks and its summer already. Its so fast, isn’t it? Though, about 10 months have passed, there are a lot of things that remain the same and only a few changes. I can say that the flow events in this school year can be compared to a roller coaster ride...a very long one with hundreds of falls and sudden drops, and only a few moments of rising. But, somehow it does not change the fact that this school year was fun. Despite the conflicts we had between us and teachers, and conflicts among fellow students, I can still see smiles...smiles that somehow tell that they’re having a good time, though smiles does not get rid of the problem, it simply hides it...yes, smiles are really decieving...Anyway, like I said the school year’s about to end. We can at least say, “We can finally relax!”

The Kind of Life I Live

When I was in first year, my attitude was kind, innocent and respectful. I had no enemies that time. The only problem when I was in first year is that my classmates do not value me. it seems that I am just a wind that passes their way. They don't support me on the things that I am doing. Like when I join the filipino contest, I thought that they will cheer for me but they did not do it. I am a little bit frustrated to them but I stay nice to them. Their was a time that my groupmates do not want the script that I had made. I really made the script good but still they just ignore it. Imagine I spent 3 hours in making that script but still they decline it. Well, I do not care, that's their choice. Anyway, after a few weeks they like my script. Thank God they liked it! In second year, my attitude was so bad, gossiping, and other negative attitudes. I have enemies and take note my enemies are big groups so they can spread that this is my attitude to the other people. That's Life!. For the first time I talked to a fourth year and have some blabla conversation. In fairness I am nervous that time. Despite all of these things I am still kind to some people especially my friends I do not know why I changed my attitude. I do not know if the phrase " CHANGE FOR THE BETTER" can be a reason why I changed my attitude. Well, this is just the things the kind of life I live

My Valentines Day

When I woke up on February 14, 2008, I never expected any gifts from anyone because I already got used to spending Valentine’s Day with a chocolate which I bought. I went to school early because I wanted a free balloon at McDonald’s. So I got what I want and as I entered the campus, I saw a lot of boys holding flowers and chocolates and a lot of girls receiving those valentines’ gift. I felt a little jealous but not as jealous as last year because as I’ve said, I got used to it already. So I went to the de brito classroom to get my math book. Then my best friend was looking for me and told me that he had a surprise. He let me wait until the bell rang so that the people in the corridors would go away. When the bell rang, he gave me 3 Cadbury bars and I said thank you and headed to the classroom. That afternoon, for the first time I went home with chocolates which were given to me. Though it wasn’t from my crush, I’m still thankful that someone remembered me on Valentine’s Day, my best friend.

My Friends

The guy in the picture is my best friend, Jerry Delcano. He makes me eat a lot yet he also makes me laugh. Together, we dream of working in Hollywood and become famous. He is a responsible beadle of 2-de brito, a great dancer, a nice person and a reliable friend.

This pretty girl named Renee Agustin is another best friend of mine. She is always there whenever I need her & she is a brave person. She fights for the truth and sometimes makes me laugh.

This is Sheila Holthe, my best friend. She’s broken hearted deep inside and I’m impressed that she can still laugh in the middle of her problem. She is a cheerful girl and she always accompanies me whenever I have problems.

This is Debbie Austria. She is a best friend that makes you laugh so hard that you can hardly breathe. She’s really crazy but she’s nice, if you are nice to her. She supports me and tells me that I can do it at times when I lose hope.

This is Christal Brosamle my oldest best friend. Without her, I wouldn’t learn how to use make-up and those curling irons. Without her I would always be bored & I would always be hungry. Without her, there would be no one to comfort me whenever I cry.
Without these best friends of mine, I would be so unhappy. Even though I act as if I don’t cherish our friendship, they don’t know how much I care & cherish our friendship. I love them so much and I thank them for making me laugh and for making me happy and of course for loving me!

My life as a teenager

My life is complicated, chaotic yet fun. It is complicated because I’m too young to be old, to old to be young. I know I’m too young to handle great responsibilities but then I’m too old and I’m capable of taking care of myself. Sometimes I feel that I can do everything like going home late, but my parents disagree because they say I’m too young. In that case, I just try to understand them. It is chaotic because I get a lot of sermons from my parents and my teachers and you can’t avoid the temptations & pressure of bad influences. My teenage life is fun with the help of my friends, without them, my life would be really boring and at the same time miserable.

My Childhood Hobby

Magic as in tricks, not the card game or black arts started off as a childhood hobby. Like most things in my life, however, it eventually blends with other studies and disciplines until it took on a life of its own. An introduction into the world of magic can be a powerful step towards finding solutions to seemingly insolvable problems in one's life. Magic, for me, isn't about "fooling people", it is merely to entertain people. Having someone be amaze of what you performed is very pleasing. Such response from the audience can be addictive. I now saw how magic could be used to bring people into a state of thought and confusion and even I was amaze by such. Then again it came to me that my tricks alone are not enough. After that I began dusting off the old magic books, and shopping on the web. Until now I somehow hunger for magic and seek more of it.
