An afternoon with a Country Pop Star

Yaaaaaay! I feel so glad and so excited because later this afternoon I'll be meeting my favorite artist, Taylor Swift. I’m also happy because I am her in PARIS. LIKE, OMG. So to continue what I was saying earlier, I asked her if I can meet her at the coffee shop downtown to have a small chit-chat with her, and then she said yes. AND I'M LIKE, "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH YOU MADE ME HAPPY FOR SAYING YES!", and she's like "You're very much welcome.". After that she told me to send her a message of when are we going to me, like what time are we going to meet at the shop. So I send her a message saying: "Hi Taylor! Let's meet at the coffee shop at exactly 3 o'clock this afternoon. Hope you would really be there! I promise that I won't be late. ^_^ See you there! :* Lovelots. XOXO". Then she replied: "I will surely be there. ^_^". 

There is still thirty minutes before 3 o'clock when I arrived at the said coffee shop where we'll meet. You may think that I'm so excited; I’ll be like, WHO WOULDN’T BE IF YOU’RE GOING TO MEET YOUR FAVORITE SINGER? Like, DUH? It’s like once and a lifetime chance. So yeah, I’m ready to wait for her even it’ll take forever to see her. After some minutes I ordered 2 cheesecakes for us, and before going to this coffee shop I dropped by to Starbucks to buy her favorite Mocha Frappuccino (of course I both two). So I waited for a few minutes more while listening to her songs in my iPad. Hmmm, I’m wondering why isn’t she here yet… Then I looked outside the window and FINALLY! I saw her walking.

When she entered the shop…

Taylor: Oh, Hi. Are you Ivana?
Me: … (still under the effect of star stuck.)

Taylor: Uhmm? Hello?. (snaps her finger)

Me: Oh! Yes. I’m so sorry, I just… I just… I just can’t believe you’re here! In front of me. I’m like, “OH MY GOSH AM I DREAMING?”.
Taylor: Oh my dear, you are not dreaming, this is all true.
Me: Wow, Thank you for coming.
T: Your welcome.
M: So I ordered you a cheesecake and a Mocha Frappuccino.

T: Wow. These are all my favorite. How’d you know?
M: Well ,that’s the secret of a fangirl. ^_^

T: Oh well, I don’t treat you as a fan right now, and I won’t treat you like one again.

M: (me thinking that it was a bad thing became teary eyed) BUT WHY? L
T: hey, keep calm. Of course I won’t treat you like a fan anymore because you’re my friend already. (smiles sweetly)

M: (still processing what she said)

T: …
M: Wait, WHAT? ^_^ YOU CONSIDER ME AS A FRIEND OF YOURS? WOOOOOW. I can’t believe this. Well, it’s my pleasure to be your friend. WAAAAAAH. You don’t know how happy am I right now. Thank you very much. J

T: you’re pretty much welcome. ^_^

M: So I’ve been wanting to ask you this question. And I’ll ask you directly already…

T: Uhmm, okay go on.

M: To whom do you dedicate your song entitled “Back to December”?

T: You really don’t know?
M: Well I kinda know but, I just want to confirm it and hear it from you. J

T: Well, it is for Taylor Lautner.

M: I knew it! So why did you broke up? I’m really a big fan of Taylor squared.

T:  I was just too busy to stay in a relationship that time. I tried to say sorry but it was too late, that’s why I wrote Back to December.

M: Oh.

T: So don’t you have any questions to ask?

M: I have plenty of them but I guess I’ll just ask you a few of them. ^_^ So here’s another question. Is there any chance for you and Ed Sheeran to be… uhm, you know? In some sort of a relationship?

T: Wow. Haha. I think we’re cool in being just friends. We’re really good friends.

M: oh? Really. Well. Okay. Another one, why did you and Harry Styles broke up?
T: Uhmm, it’s because some of their fans, you know? The directioners sent some death threats to me, that’s why we chose to end our relationship to stop all their fans from sending hate and death threats to me.

M: ugggggh. L So here’s another one.

T: What is it?

M: Why did you broke up with John Mayer?

T: Because, I was still young that time.

M: Oh, just like what other teenagers say. So here’s another question. What was the first song you wrote?
T: The first one that I really finished that wasn’t like a structureless, eight-minute song was when I was 12 and I wrote this song called “Lucky You” about this girl who’s different. She believes in herself. It somehow got leaked online and it is a terrifying experience when people bring it up because I’m like, “I sound like a chipmunk. I’m 12 in that.” But you look back on your first experiences with writing and every one of those experiences turns you into who you’re going to be. And so I don’t think you can ever discount the creations you make when you’re really young.
M: So what was your childhood like?

T: I grew up on a Christmas tree farm. We grew Christmas trees for other people to put in their houses. And we had all kinds of animals running around, and I remember having a lot of room to run and just come up with wild stories, and I feel like it was a time for me to really let my imagination run wild. But, you know, I don’t necessarily think you have to have a lot of wide open space in order to let your imagination run wild. You can see beauty and fantasy and things that aren’t real and things that are magical in any place you grow up if you think hard enough and reach into your mind. But my childhood was really fun. It was a blast, so thank you for asking about it. That was a good question.

M: Wow, so your childhood was awesome.

T: Yes. So let me ask you a question.

M: Uhm, Okay. Go on. (flashes a very wide smile)

T: Do you have a best friend?

M: Uhm. Yeah, and you know what’s great? She is also named Abigail, like your best friend Abigail Anderson. And uhmmm… actually she’s coming cover this shop to meet you too. Is that okay?

T: Yes, why not? I think that would be fine and fun at the same time.

M: Yaaaay! Thanks. (looks at the entrance of the shop) Oh, look, she’s already here! Hey Abie over here!
(Abigail sat beside me)
Abie: Wow, so you’re not joking?
M: Geeez, duuh? Can’t you see it’s for real. ^_^

A: Wooooah.
M: So Taylor, I want you to meet my best friend, Abie. Abie, you know. This is Taylor.
A: Hi Taylor! ^_^ Sorry, I thought she was joking when she told me that she’ll be meeting you here. It’s so nice to meet you.

T: Oh, That’s fine. ^_^ Nice to meet you too.

M: Did you know that back then in our grade school days, we were singing your songs in duet like Tear Drops on My Guitar.

A: And also Speak now. We often sing that in chorus.

T: Aww, that’s cute.

M: Tear Drops on My Guitar was Abie’s favorite that time actually.
T: Well, it’s good to hear that some other people likes my songs.

M and A: We don’t like it, really. WE ONLY LOVE IT.

T: Aww, you two are so cute. J I’m missing my best friend because of the two of you. So Ivana, what is your favorite song of mine?
M: I actually love all your songs. But there is this one song that I can relate to as of now. And that is Invisible.

T: why is it your favorite?
M: you see, as what I’ve said, I can relate to it so much. I’m experiencing that thing. Like you’re so invisible to one person because that person is busy looking at the girl he loves.
T: aww. Well that’s sad. How about you Abi?

A: Well, one of my favorite is still Tear Drops on My Guitar. I can also relate myself to this song at some instances.

T: Oh… don’t worry those tears will soon dry up...

(her phone rings)

T: Girls, I think I have to go now.

M: Aw. Why too soon? Well. Go ahead. ^_^ Thank you for coming!
A: Yeah Thank you for the time.

T: You two are welcome.

M: Uhm, Taylor! Can we have a picture?
T: Well, that’s great.

M: Abi, can you?

A: of course… 1 … 2 … Say Cheese

M: Thank you so much. I really had fun. Goodbye

A: Me too. Take Care, bye.

T: Thank you too. For the cheesecake and the Frappuccino. And thanks for your time. You two are adorable. Stay Strong. ^_^ Bye.

[So that’s all. Some parts of the question and answer were taken from .http://blog.scholastic.com/ink_splot_26/2013/01/taylor-swift-interview.html]

The Nine Stations of Violation in CNSHS

       This day will really be a great day! At last, I would see my best friend again. The plane where she rode will arrive at the airport this morning, and I’ll be there to fetch her. After that, we will go to my school first before going to their house for a welcome home party, as what I promised to give her a tour inside our school.

 So when I went to the airport, I waited for a while. Then I heard the airport personnel announce something saying that the plane from Paris already arrived, I immediately felt the excitement to see her and hug her tightly. So, I quickly rushed to the arrival area and patiently waited for her. After a couple of minutes I already see her walking through the hallway then I rushed to her and hug her tightly. I was really glad to see her again. After that we went to the parking area to look for the car that will take us to my school.

 After some time, we arrived safely in my school. Upon entering the Gate of our school, which is I consider to be the first station of violation in our school. I explained to her why I considered it as the first station. I told her that this is the station where all the violations start. That violation is allowing the students without I.D. to enter the school, when first of all it already violates the school policy that states that we have to go to school in a complete uniform and identification card is a part of the uniform that is required to be worn.

 Then near the gate is the second station of violation, and it is the Guard House. I told her that I consider the Guard house another station because another violation occurs here. That is when the late comers are being allowed to enter the school even if they are already late. We, students are required to go to school in a specific time and that is before 7 am. Students are required to go to school before 7 am. We are already considered late when we come to school at 6:45 am. After seeing the guard house, we went straight to the LRC, or supposed to be the library of the whole school. We stopped at the library for quite some time and I told her that this is the third station, it is because the library is often closed early in the morning and it closes early in the afternoon also and sometimes we are not able to borrow books because of the absence of personnel in charge. Upon walking further with my best friend we’ve reached the Canteen one which is the fourth station. In this canteen the queue of students during break time is always long. There are times that students skip some persons in line, and enter in the middle of the line not considering the others at the back who waited so long just to pay for their snacks. So after telling her that, we grabbed some snacks to eat. 

         After eating some snacks we headed to the Science lab. I told her that some students violate the rules when they enter the Sci Lab without wearing any shoe socks.  That’s why I consider this the fifth station of violation. After that we went to the field. I told her that this is the sixth station, wherein students violate the rules that we shouldn’t walk through the grass but instead we should use the pathway. We stayed at the field for some time and talk about how was her stay in Paris, and I’m happy to know that her stay there was great. Then after that we went to the canteen 2 to buy some water. Then I told her that it was the seventh station, because foods there were expensive. Expensive enough to make other students buy their food outside. When we finished drinking, we went to our room because I was to get something. Then I told her that our room was the eighth station of violation wherein every student violates the rule that we must speak in English language. I told her that it is actually every room in the school. Students do not speak in English. And by that we went outside. When we already went outside we sat at one of the waiting shed. I told her that the ninth station is the store across the street wherein it is the cause of some littering of the students inside the school. Some students take and leave their garbage inside the school. So after all the tour we made inside the school, we waited for them car that will take us to their house for their Welcome Home party.

Does Texting affect your English Proficiency?

           

Text messaging or what we call texting is the act of typing and sending a brief, electronic message between two or more mobile phones or fixed or portable devices over a phone network. It is the essential way of communicating to other people through mobile phones as of this time. This is the fastest way of communicating with other people unlike sending letter mails to the people you want to communicate with. Text messaging is really a great help but is it really affecting your English proficiency?

           First of all, I think text messaging could really affect somebody's English proficiency if what he uses in sending text messages. For example, he is using shortcuts or he is used to type a message in a what-so-called "Jejemon" way of texting then his knowledge of the correct spelling of the words the he is using. Second factor is the length of tome or how often does he use his phone to send messages using the improper way of text messaging. If it is often then he would really get used to texting in that way and he may forget the proper way because he is already used in that way of text messaging. There is the tendency that he might be able to use it in writing some essays or other form of some requirements in English. In that way, your english proficiency may be ruined. As for people who don't use phones that much, I think their English proficiency wouldn't be that affected UNLESS we are affected by the third factor that could affect and ruin English proficiency that we have. This is when the person you are communicating through text messaging is using the improper way of texting where in you are reading text messages that are typed using shortcuts. In that way you'll also get used in that way of texting.

         For me I'm not using my phone that much and I'm also not used into typing messages in a shortcut way. I'm not typing in a shortcut way because I already experienced writing the words in a shortcut way too. That's the reason why I stopped typing in shortcuts not only in text messaging but also in chatting. The bottom line here is, your English proficiency could only be affected by texting if you would us the improper way of typing words of your messages.

Semestral break

                                        

          Semestral break is one of the most awaited vacation during the month of October. Students most likely of our age really crave for a vacation espaecially those who are really stressed out during the school days. We are always expecting for vacation because we think tahat we need to have a break.

           I spent most of the days of my semestral break in our house. I wasn't able to go somewhere else. This is because I'm not allowed to travel around or to go around places. Another thing is that, I don't have money to support my own cravings to go to such places like malls or whatever wonderful place to go to. My family also chose to stay at home. I could only go out of our house when I need to go to my classmate's house for a project. My parents are really strict, I understand that it's also for my own good but I think it is a little bit too much because I'm already a teenager. Somehow I want to feel my independence. I wanna feel that somehow I can stand on my own feet. I want to learn how to commute. I wann learn how to survive with my own little ways. Going back to the topic, what I did last semestral break was mostly about surfing the net and logging on to Facebook. I did that for almost one week. Except for a day that my parents allowed me to go to the house my classmate. I went to the house of Patricia. I was with Pamela and Jonaz that time. We did the story board for the music video. We did the story board at Trish's house because we weren't able to meet up during school days for some reason. We were able to finish it early that's why we stayed at Trish's house for more hours, then Yvone came to their house and fetched Patricia, she asked Trish if she would join Yvone's family to a trip to Tagaytay. That's why we left Trish's house and went to Jollibee. We grab some snack before going home. I kept on laughing at Pameh for an unexplainable reason. Then after that I waited for my service to fetch me at Jollibee, I think I waited there for about 45 minutes. Then I think I reached our home at 5 in the afternoon. After that my life continued. I did all my homeworks and other school works. I can say that it was somehow fun.

             I learned that vacations should be spent wisely. We have to use our time generously and wisely. Vacation is a time to relax from a stressed school days especially when you received a lot of pressure during the school days. You could also use vacations to talk to your friends abroad or let's say your friends from a different country or even those friends of yours near to your house but you can't meet each other. That's what I actually did during the semestral break. I had video chats with my friend from Paris and my friend from Naic, that was really fun though.

My Teacher, My Hero

           

World Teachers' day is a day allotted for the great teachers in the whole world. This is a special day wherein the student's and other people should show appreciation for the hard works that a teacher have done for every student. Teachers' Day may include some celebration to somehow honor them. I believe that not all of us are aware of the hardships that teachers do for us. There are works of some teachers that weren't recognized neither appreciated.

             The sacrifices and hardships of the teachers are enough for us to thank them. Some teachers don't expect an extravagant gifts or way of thanking them, a simple thank you with a sincere heart is already okay for them. I agree that we all have to thank our teachers not only because they taught us what we know about academics but also because of the values in life they have taught us.

                They are indeed our second parent. Somehow, they have helped our parents mold us to what we are right now. I would like to take this opportunity to thank a teacher of mine, whom I consider to be the best I adviser I had as far as I know. She is a great adviser to me. She have taught me some things that I should know about life. I love the way she give advice not only to my classmates but also to me, the way she care for us, and the way she treat us like her second family. What I love the most is the way she handle us. I admire her long patience. I am so glad to have an adviser who would take a stand for us, and whom I know could fight for us. I'm so lucky to have a teacher like her. Actually, she's not only a teacher for me, I also consider her as a second parent. I could say that she is one of the best teachers. With all sincerity, I'm proud to say that I am a student of Ma'am Mildred.

A Child's Love to His Father

       After  the death of Hamlet's father in England and their friend Julius Caesar's, Hamlet's bud Horatio told him about the ghost.Which the ghost claims to be his father's spirit. That night he saw the ghost and he followed it. As he followed the ghost it suddenly disappeared, on that place he saw a tomb with two lovers, Romeo and Juliet, also Claudio with Hero. Juliet and Romeo was already dead then Claudio was singing a song for Hero and for the lovers. The ghost came out again and now he was able to speak to it. The ghost told Hamlet that Claudius is the man who murdered his father by pouring poison in his ear while he was snoozing in his garden and the cause of Julius Caesar death was that Brutus and conspirators that stabbed Julius Caesar  33 times to be sure.  Before the ghost left, he told his son Hamlet to make a revenge for them.

       A group of actors came in the Elisinore in Denmark, then Hamlet thought of a plan of making a play. In that play he invited Claudius, Brutus and the conspirators to test their guilt. The play started, the actors were divided into two groups. The first group played the "To be or not to be" which was how his father was killed. And the second play was entitled "Et tu Brute?". While the play was going, Hamlet saw the guilt in their face. The face of the traitor brother and to the honorable man, Brutus. After days, Brutus killed himself. Where he gets his old friend Strato to hold his sword while he runs at it.

       When that happened, Hamlet was out the England because of Claudius sends him off. He was on the a ship with Gonzalo, Antonio, Sebastian, Ferdinand and King Alonso. The story came, cause by Prospero, that cause their ship to shipwreck. Ferdinand survived and arrived in Ephesus after the shipwreck.

        In the middle of the night, he woke up and the queen of fairies, Titania fell in love with him because of the love juice. Still, a luck that the king of fairies, Oberon, was able to fixed it  with Puck who was also the cause of it.

        Morning, Ferdinand went straight going in the city of Ephesus. There he saw the saw an Abbess, Emilia that was revealing herself as the lost wife of Egeon and the twins. Seeing this made him sad, he remembered his father king Alonso if it was alive while he was walking. Then he saw but didn't heard clearly what the witches said; "all hail, hail to thee, Thane of Cawdor" , "All hail, that shalt be King hereafter!"  and  "Beware the Thane of Fife!". But the most remarkable was the second line because one of the witches looked at him. He thought of his father once again. Yes he was the heir but he was still his son. He just kept on walking until he was already near the shore line and there he saw his father and he was alive with Gonzalo, Sebastian and Antonio. Knowing that his father was still alive he became very happy. Then suddenly Ferdinand asked "Where is Hamlet?" His father answered, "He came back immediately to England for his father's wish".

"Fair is foul, and foul is fair"

           Fair is foul, and foul is fair. This is a famous line from William Shakespeare's shortest tragic play, "Macbeth". This line was said by the three witches in the play. This line is also said to be one of the biggest theme of the Play. "This is a statement that appears to be contradictory but expresses the truth". For me it's like, fair things are being done to cover up the foul things that people did, so that people will like you. Sometimes foul things are shown but what we see are beutiful things despite of these ugly things.

            For example are the drainage systems declared by some officials as their project. The drainage systems look so beautiful outside but, why is it that when the rain comes the streets become flooded? So, it only means that the drainage system doesn't work properly. Maybe the pipes weren't connected properly. Do we deserve such kind of service? To think that the government alotted big money for some projects like this and yet they fail to give  us good results. We ask them to fix but why do these problems worsen? Is it because these officials only hire cheap contractors to fix these drainage systems? Or is it because of the citizens who continuously throw garbages properly then later on complain about the flood? Another one are the aspalt road. Looks so beautiful when it's new and yet it lacks quality. It gets easily broken. 

           Sometimes there are people who do good things just to cover up their bad side. They pretend to be good. Some do bad things for some good reasons, but it's not an enough reason to do bad things. We have seen bad things that look beautiful to us. One example is the bad side of the people we love, yes we see it, but we don't mind it because of the love we feel for them.

A Midsummer Night's Dream

            A Midsummer Night's dream is a play written by William Shakespeare.  It is believed that it was written between 1590 and 1596. It portrays the events surrounding the marriage of the Duke of Athens, Theseus, and Hippolyta. The play also include the love stories of the four Athenian teenagers. They were manipulated by the fairies in the forest. There were some actors who also went in the woods too, to have a practice for a play. They say that this story is confusing, but thanks God I was able to understand the story.

            

               We all know that every story have a part where the it gets more exciting and this part is called the climax. Of the story doesn't have a climax, it will be boring to read or to just even watch it.For me the climax of the Midsummer Night's Dream is when the four Athenian boys and girls went to the woods. Then Oberon heard the conversation of Demetrius and Helena. After hearing the conversation of Demetrius and Helene, he commanded Puck to pour a love potion on the eyelid of Demetrius. It didn't go as what is planned by Oberon, because Puck poured the potion into Lysander's eyelid instead of Demetrius'. When Lysander woke up, he saw Helena and followed her. Then Hermia woke up and found out that Lysander is not there anymore. Then there came a time that the potion was placed into the eyelid of Demetrius and he fell in love with Helena. Helena thought that Lysander and Demetrius were only making fun of her. To the point that she and Hermia already fought.

                The reason why I think this is the climaz is because of the excitement I felt when i was already reading this part. The things also got more complicated in this part of the story. There are twists involved here including the fact that the two men fell in love with Helena when at first they were chasing for Hermia. It's like this is were the tables turned.

Forgive and Forget

           

               "The easiest way to forgive is to forget." This quote really touched a part in my heart. I actually don't know where to start. Earlier I thought this blog will be easy for me to finish because lately I've been giving advice to my friend, but now I realized it's hard to express myself and my own thoughts. Especially when I am about to talk about myself. I just thought of this a while ago, how can we remember something we already forgot? Well that is what I thought since it is said that the easiest way to forgive is to forget, so Ironic. That's why I'm thinking of what will I write here.

              Then  I realized that we really don't have to forget something just to be able to forgive someone. It's just the matter of accepting the fact that, that person did something wrong against us. It's about the matter of living with it and getting used to it. YOU have to learn how to go with the flow. Even though it will be hard and painful at first to forgive that person and forget those dreadful moments he had caused you. Forgiving someone doesn't mean that you are weak, it even shows that you are strong enough to accept that person even if he hurt you and you were able to give him second chance. In relation to the play if The Tempest, Prospero should have forgiven his brother already and should have chose not to take revenge on those people who betrayed him.

              We have a kind and such a forgiving God. He sets as a good example to us. If God can forgive why can't we? Yes, we were hurt, but I do believe every person could do some mistake. But I also believe that everyone DESERVE a second chance BUT NOT for the SAME MISTAKE. If somethings are not meant for us we have to learn how to let go. If he really doesn't deserve you, all you have to so is to FORGIVE and ACCEPT, then LET GO. Don't let your past relationship ruin your present and may be a better relationship with that person.

Let's "Keep on moving forward".

Ganito Ka Rin Ba Mag-English?

(To whoever gets to understand this letter, CONGRATULATIONS!)

The following is a letter found at a certain bar in Manila and have been preserved to its original unedited form. Enjoy reading and you may try to direct translation in Tagalog, Pls. read with feelings……

October 1996,

To Marjorie

I am not surprise or wander 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

[~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~]

     When  I first read it I didn't understand some of the parts in the letter because of some wrong spellings and wrong grammars. Some of the parts were hard to translate. I can't correct some part because I can't understand them and I'm afraid that I might change the thought of the letter. It was also funny reading the letter and at the same time it made my head ache. I also got irritated to some parts pf the letter. If I were in the position of the girl who wrote the letter I'd rather write the letter in Tagalog than using English wherein I'm not good at, so that the recipient of the letter can understand what am I trying to say.

               [~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~]

So here's the corrected version I made:

October 1996,
To Marjorie

I am not surprise nor wonder why Dennis leave you. Why? One reason is your very fat body. Before, I thought that Dennis was only using me as his toy but then I realize that he really can't bare to be with you anymore because first, Dennis says that he couldn't stand your habit of interfering with all of his hang-outs and you were always calling to their house to check if he is already home or this or that.

And then he said that he got ashamed of you in school or to his family and He asked you to have an exercise for your very very very  fat body, but you hate it. You thought that you were the prettiest girl he know. Who do you think you are? The "Beautiful Girl" of Jose Mari Chan?

Even you have a beautiful face (as what you think) you don't have the right to call me in different names anytime which the real purpose is to insult my personality because I never called you in different names in front of Dennis nor at the back of Dennis, but you started to call me in different names already, so I don't have any choice but to call you in different names too. Like you are a PIG, FAT, OBESE, OVERWEIGHT, AND A GIRL WITH AN UGLY FIGURE. Shame to your body.

You can't blame Dennis for choosing me over you because I am sexier than you when the both of us look in the mirror. I repeat that you are like Lozada if he is a girl.

Love,
The sexiest Girl of D.M.

P.S.
You say that I have a bad breath but who is the one that Dennis wants to kiss? Is it me or you? And the answer is me. There you go.

Blogging as a Medium in Expressing My Insights

         

              Blogging is a medium of expressing feelings, hidden thoughts and sometimes is used in sharing some important happenings in your life. Blog is such an important thing for the people who don't have someone to talk or to share their ideas with. It could be used as an outlet of anger, jealousy, happiness or whatever kind of emotion a person feels.

            For me blogging is indeed a better way in doing an informal theme. Just to be different or to have a different style of expressing your thoughts. I prefer to do blogging than writing it into a notebook. It feels so good when I am doing my blogs. It is easier to think for me to use a computer than to use pen and paper because if I'll use pen and paper, it would be such a disaster so many papers would be wasted and let's also add my not-so-beautiful-handwriting. 

              The bottom line of this blog I am doing right now is that, I really feel comfortable in using blog than a normal or what-so-called traditional way of doing informal themes. I love blogging. I hope for myself the even if my third year life is over and I'm not required to do blogs I could still post some blogs here once in a while to share some of the thoughts going on my mind.

A Good Friend Indeed

        

          

         A friend is the one who's always there to help. They are the one who'll love you even if they are not related to you by blood, but somehow related to you by heart. They can be showing their care for you in so many awesome ways as long as it's possible. Each one of us surely has one friend that we consider as our sibling already. What can we do? That's how best of friends treat each other. When we are in need, they are always there to help us. They never leave our side and they will never do. Maybe they do leave us physically but the friendship is still on their hearts.

         A best friend has many names depending on the person's description of a best friend. My friend or should I say my best friend is named Abigail, but I call her Abie, sometimes Bhigueh, and sometimes Bhie. For me she has all the qualities of the friend whom I really want to have. She is so kind, lovable, beautiful, fun to be with, and any other quality that a best friend should possess. Among my three friends, she was the one I consider the best of the best. I was so close to her when we were still on our sixth grade. We were so close that you can't even make us leave each other. We were always together. We grew fond of each other even in just a short time. I was so comfortable when I was with her, and I don't even know why. I really just feel that I only show the real me when I'm with her. I can say that I'm only me when I'm with her.

         There was a time when our friendship was tested. The four of us had a conflict, and I guess it's because of our closeness. Our group was divided into two. I was with Abie that time. We went through that conflict together. With each other's shoulders to lean on. That conflict made our bond stronger. We were able to keep our friendship whole again. The problem was fixed. The two of us were able to retain our friendship to the other two in our group by saying sorry to them.

            When the conflict ended, there was another problem and that is the fast coming graduation. It was so sad to think that the four of us wouldn't be able to go to the same school in our high school life. The three of them weren't able to pass the entrance exam in the school that my parents prefer for me to go to. Unlike, them I was able to pass it. The sad part there was that Abi was able to pass the first screening, that gave me high hopes, but she failed to pass the second screening.

            That ended it, our closeness loosens already when we went to different schools. That was so sad for me, to enter a school without my best friend is so hard for a girl like me who is having a hard time socializing with other people. How I miss our closeness, the days we were together, and how I was when I'm with her. I really want to bring that back. I just can't do that anymore, especially now; she will be leaving the country. She'll be going to Paris on August 3 this year to be with her parents. For me it's half okay and half not okay. Okay, because I do understand why does she have to leave. I can't be selfish and just stop her from leaving. I know it's for the best. I know how much she eager to go there. She hasn't seen her mother for about eight years already. I realize how important is it for her to go to Paris. That's why it's okay with me. It's not okay because I'll surely miss her so much. To think that we don't meet that much even she's just here in Maragondon, what more if she will live in another country which is half way across the world? It hurts to imagine that I won't be able to see her bubbly face in person for a long time.

           I hope our friendship won't end that way. I do know that distance is just a number. If we would really want to keep our friendship, we will find a way to take care of it. It will take a lot of effort to keep our friendship going. As what is said in a quote "The most beautiful discoveries true friends make is that they can grow separately without growing apart."

To be or not to be?

         To be or not to be? This is the one that can help us what is the right thing to do if only we think. For me as a student this may help me to what to do if ever we are in the state of confusion on what things are right and what are the things that are wrong.

          As a student I need to be industrious as I'll ever be. Being industrious will require a lot of energy from a student. We will be able to comply to our requirements in school if we will be industrious. If we will be able  to comply our requirements we could have a passing score or a high score if ever. This could be an advantage of some students that are not that smart or I might say on an average level of intelligence only, just like me. I admit that I'm not that smart unlike my other classmates and batch mates.

           Well of course there is always a counter part to this. It is being lazy. A student has to control himself not to be lazy. I can say that laziness can't get any people to anywhere. If you wouldn't do anything, you wouldn't reach your dreams. Don't wait for the thing you need because it won't just fall just from the sky. You always need hard work to be able to reach your goals in life.

            Another one is that student's should be responsible of the things that we must do. We should submit their projects on time or else they may have failing grades. We should also be responsible with our things because our parents are the one who provided us with those things, and also the things that the school lends us. We should not be careless like other students in other schools.

Adventures in English III

English is a major subject,

that a student cannot reject.

It's all about kinds of tenses,

and also the gerrund phrases

We are having some speech choir

wherein teamwork is reqcuired.

Even if we lack enough time to practice

we were able to do it in short notice.

We also had a role play

where we have shown our creative way

on how to act like actors

and how to be a good directors.

Right now I'm patiently waiting

for the next activity that will be starting.

It is the presentation about Shakespearean Masterpieces

Which are I think are the best.
