If it were developed into a story, it will turn out to be a deep one in a sense that it will talk about how Larry has lived on his own without the guidance of his parents. Since he is the manager of a certain Jollibee branch, the story will revolve around how he got to where he is now and his past self as he lives with his grandparents and fends for himself. It will also show a funny side to him where he seems to be forgetful all the time, as seen in the entry stated above.

If it were developed into a story, Gianne will be the typical smart student who does not have a social life and is always so diligent when it comes to academics. She is not so active in extra-curricular activities but is part of several school organizations. In this course of the story, it aims to portray the life of a student who is consistent in keeping her grades up and maintaining good relationships with her friends despite their bad habits when it comes to studying.

If it were developed into a story, it’s pretty obvious that its theme would be about religion, specifically Catholicism. The person who would play the role of the protagonist is Gael who is one of the leaders of the Catholic community she’s part of. As the story will describe what kind of events her community holds and the traditions her religion practices, she will overcome hardships throughout the course of the narrative with the help of God.

If it were developed into a story, it would be about a man affected by the Lawin typhoon and how he would get up from there. It will show how he copes with his life as he works harder to earn more money for his family and to regain what he has lost in the storm. He will be the protagonist in the story since the audience will follow his journey on redeeming the life he thought he has lost.

If it were developed into a story, its theme would focus on dance, or art, as a great way of expression and formation of character. In this context, Nicole is a hip hop dancer who has big goals she wants to achieve. As she goes through her daily life as a student-artist, she loses hope in the process when she comes to realize that she is not being accepted into compet teams.

Until she finally gets in, this is where the theme enters the picture. Nicole begins to emanate true artistry as she tells her story through the dance competitions she has joined and portrays her growth not only as a dancer, but also as a person.

If it were developed into a story, Mark, the protagonist, would go through a phase from being an anti-social introvert to someone stepping out of his comfort zone. Since he is a character who keeps to himself, the story will begin with Mark struggling to fit in the typical society until he gradually welcomes other opportunities that come his way. It will also involve his passion for photography as it will be rekindled along the way.

If it were developed into a story, I think it would’ve been about Noah and his struggles with money. It’s not about him being financially unstable but more on the issue of him dealing with his budget and everything. Basically, the theme then would be about what I tackled in the 8th week and 4th entry - that one should not be ashamed to remind others about their debts. Therefore, the story would revolve around Noah and how he goes through life that is more centered on the aspect of money and how he handles his finances.

The man named Larry lives with his grandparents since his father has passed away and his mother is currently working abroad. He is grateful for his dog’s company because he believes that without Chewy, his life would’ve been empty. This is why he lets Chewy sleep in his room, and you could probably say that the dog is the only that disturbed the peace and order in Larry’s neat room.

He decides to walk Chewy and runs into his friends who happen to be getting married soon. Larry is saddened at the idea that he hasn’t found his love interest yet. After bidding them a goodbye, Chewy starts to take a shit when it hits Larry that he did not bring newspapers. He panics a bit on the inside and curses to himself that next time, he should never feel content, not even the slightest, before leaving the house. He hates it when he forgets something important.

Gianne is a diligent student who loves studying in groups. Usually, her friends would always come over and spend time reviewing all night in her room with those peach-colored walls. They would always tell her to clean the mess on her desk, but she refused to do so because she didn’t find any point in doing so. “What is the use of a desk if you remove the stuff atop of it?”, as so she says.

At a restaurant named Hunger Buster, she leads the group study as she and her groupmates eat lunch over open books when a bunch of students enter the place. They are loud as they talk to one another and it is as if they are trying to seek attention. Gianne is disturbed by this but tries to ignore it.

After a while, the group of students who had entered start to be a bother to her. She overhears them talking about a theory of hers which takes her aback. She starts to question the people who she’s close with because she knows for a fact that she didn’t tell anyone aside from her two best friends. She brushes the thought away and instead thinks about how long her friendship with them has lasted and cherishes the memories she’s had with them, instantly forgetting about the group study.

Gael stands as one of the leaders of the Catholic community that she’s part of. Before becoming part of the council, she has gone through many seminars that have strengthened her faith along the way. The one scent she can never forget is incense, because during the Life in the Spirit Encounter, that was the only thing she could smell when she was slain by the Holy Spirit.

She is a busy woman - everyone knows it. Despite her busy schedule, Gael holds a fellowship reunion among the LSE members. She serves them food while people, oblivious to her, continue to look upon her as someone strict and intimidating.

Nevertheless, Gael has a desire to serve God. She is almost always present in corporate worships and monthly masses held by the community. The feeling she gets from attending these is very uplifting and enlightening.

A pedicab driver stands on the roadside that reeks of an odor so strong and unpleasant. For some reason, the man isn’t affected by it; in fact, Benjamin is actually already used to the smell. Since his pedicab is parked near the foul stench on the side of the street, he cares less about his surroundings.

He needs funds. He needs enough to sustain his family after what had happened. The Lawin storm definitely wrecked his home and it was an unfortunate sight to behold. He instantly regrets the moments when he chose to fend for himself instead of doing things for his family. Now, he has to find possible customers to ride his pedicab. He has trouble dealing with some of them because one complained about how ridiculously expensive his fare was.

Nicole loves to dance. She is very passionate towards her craft as she would always be talking about what had transpired every training. If you see how her room looks like, there are heaps of newly-washed clothes for practice neatly stacked together on her bed.

Despite her commitment and dedication, she still hasn’t been casted in a single competition. She’s been working her ass off just to be part of a compet team but her efforts still seem to be ignored. As she is near to giving up, she auditions for an upcoming competition and the results turn out to be in her favor.

It is her first time competing with a dance team and it is a feeling that is overwhelming. Another competition arrives and she is casted again, making her feel all the more motivated and encouraged to do better. She lets go of the negative thoughts and finally welcomes more opportunities of growth and development.

This student does not speak much. He always keeps to himself, because he is the unsocial type. Mark did not like being noticed, and so he moves quietly through the school’s hallways and corridors. He likes being alone. Also, Mark is quite addicted to smoking and he’s completely aware of it. He does not mind what other people say about the consequences of the vice he engages in. He simply wants to find pleasure in the smallest of things, and smoking is one of them. The smell of it would cling to his clothes which is unavoidable in his case.

Ever since that day when his friend told him how annoyingly dependent he’s been, Mark comes to realize that he should avoid conversing with people unless necessary. He used to be a clingy person who had a difficult time letting go of company until he became an independent person who knew how to make decisions and think fast on his feet.

He goes to his favorite canteen, Lola Edeng’s, to chow by himself. As he waits for his order, he stares at the TV screen before him and sees a behind-the-scene footage of a wilderness shoot. The Nat Geo channel has rekindled a fire within him which is his love for photography.

What people didn’t know about this reserved guy was that he is an inactive freelance photographer and indie enthusiast whose room looked neater than one would think. Mark decides to return to his hobby and opens doors to more opportunities where he can be more open to the world.

A man named Noah rides a jeepney on the way to work and hands his payment over to the driver. What he gave was not exact, so he is expecting change in return. After waiting for a few minutes, he reminds the driver about the change he has yet to give. A little while later, Noah still hasn’t received anything. He decides to ask again when a friend of his enters the jeepney with a scent that almost envelops the whole vehicle.

It turns out to be Jed who is on his way home. Noah and Jed exchange a few words when Noah remembers that Jed still hasn’t paid him back from last time’s dinner. Feeling slightly abashed at the thought of asking him, he instead asks the driver once again for his change and is finally able to get it. Noah badly wants his money back from Jed but he can’t seem to bring himself to ask him. Right when he was about to, Jed gets off and bids a casual farewell to him, leaving Noah helpless.

Guy tagging along with his girlfriend in her shopping: Okay... I'm a bit tired now. Does she even get tired? I mean I love her I really do, but there are times when I just want to leave her be? We've been going around for 2 hours, I think. I need to rest, my feet are killing me. Aren't there any seats here? God, I need to take a break. She's not even planning to stop any time soon. I don't understand why girls are so into shopping.

Woman getting her drink in Starbucks: Oh my God. Why is my name spelled wrong? Don't they know how to spell Keisha? What the hell! So frustrating ugh! Now I can't take a photo of it and put it up on Instagram... this is so bad. I can't believe it. I should've double checked earlier before they gave me my drink.

Guard fixing the traffic: Putanginang kotse 'to ah. Pahara-hara sa gitna ng daanan ng mga tao! Katukin ko kaya 'to at tingnan natin kung sino 'tong gagong 'to. Putangina, pa-cool cool pa si sir. Naka-shades habang nag-dadrive! Ibang klase 'to ah. Porke't mayaman na pwede nang bastusin ang patakaran sa kalye? Aba aba! Hayup 'to ah!
