“Effort makes you. You will regret someday if you don’t do your best now. Don’t think it’s too late but keep working on it. It takes time, but there’s nothing that gets worse due to practicing. So practice. You may get depressed, but it’s evidence that you are doing good.”

FRIENDSHIP OVER LOVE

CHAPTER 1

I always listen to my favorite song called "Paano na kaya?" by Bugoy Drilon in YouTube. I dedicated this song to my one only girl "Sophia" but the problem is that my friend also love her that's why we are enemies.

As I entered my classroom, Sorry Ma’am, I'm late again!

Mr. Gomez de Liaño, how many times I told you not be late again. I will mark you late this time!! Don't do this again as she shouted.

I directly go to my sit and find Sophia happy listening to our subject. I was happy because my rival is absent because he had stomach ache and he was drunk and I will never forget how Dwayne and Sophia will end up in a fixed marriage by their own parents because they are childhood sweethearts in the past. Dwayne told that to me when we are still friends before but now, I don’t think so.

*Flashbacks*

Mr. and Mrs. Yapchengo, I want to have a fixed marriage to your son Dwayne to my beautiful daughter Sophia because I believe that they are the best for each other and Sophia likes Dwayne. “Excuse me, Mr and Mrs. Harrison I think I should talk about it to my son first before you decide because my son feelings are important to me” Mr. Yapchengo said in a warning tone. After a month passed, Dwayne decided to court Sophia but she no longer wanted to be with Dwayne because she is focusing now in her studies. Until Sophia met me in her colleague.

*End of Flashbacks*

One night while I’m doing my homework’s at my room, I saw in my window that Dwayne is in the house of Sophia, I don’t know but I felt jealous because I know that Sophia will choose me over him, so I went out to check what happening there.

“Sophia please give me a second chance to be with you, I will do everything just to be with me.” Dwayne said it with begging voice. As I hide behind the tree listening to their conversations. “Dwayne stops this nonsense! I’m studying for our lesson tomorrow. I don’t want to have boyfriend first! And she slams the door leaving Dwayne shocked of what she did.

From what I hear from Sophia, I felt sad because of what she said. And I went back to my room and finish my activities.

At the hallway, while I’m getting my things in my locker room to change my clothes into basketball uniform because I decided to play in our court to relieve stress running around in my mind. When I enter the court, I saw Sophia sleeping there and I don’t have idea what she is sleeping so I sat beside her than playing basketball. Her looks are so very beautiful and calmly sleeping in the middle of our free time. I took a picture of her sleeping to have a remembrance when we graduate. I was thinking to still court her even she said that she wants to focus on her studies first. Anyway, I’ll try to convince her it might change her mind.

CHAPTER 2

During our lunch time, I saw Sophia eating her lunch with her friends and I have a idea to give her an orange juice when her friends screamed out of nowhere then Sophia got shy. After the lunch we went back to our room and wait for our next teacher.

When the class ended, I immediately ran to Sophia to get her things to help her to bring it, she said that she will straight go home because we have many activities still not yet done. As we walk home, we just talk about our future schools then she talks about that she really doesn’t want to have boyfriend because it might affect her studies so while I listened, I felt pain because she really focuses on her goals while me, I’m still trying to convince her. When we are here now In front of her gate, I said goodbye right away then left her.

In my room when I am now in my bed, many thoughts come to my mind if I will continue it or stop it already, then I think also Dwayne to stop pursuing Sophia because it might hurt him too. I text Dwayne to see me in his garden tomorrow morning.

I wake up too early just to be there in Dwayne’s Garden so that he will not be irritated if he sees that I’m not still there. I talk to him that we should stop courting Sophia because she might get just reject us and also it is best for us also to not get hurt. But still Dwayne didn’t want to listen to me and he still continuing courting her.

After we talked, I just went straight to my house to get rest then suddenly I received a text from Sophia that she wants to meet us in the our carinderia where we eat our favorite food when we are at the age of high school.

I came first but they are not still here so I waited 30 minutes then I saw Sophia wearing simple dress along with Dwayne wearing sando and short. She just asks how we been doing lately then she directly tells us that she appreciates all the things we did for her but she already decided not to have a boyfriend first because she wants to finish her studies, her parents may disappoint at her if she failed. Also, she didn’t pick either of us between Dwayne. I understand her but I don’t think so about Dwayne because he is so very stubborn when it came to love. After a while, Dwayne just sinks in to his mind that it is already done, he did his best to choose but Sophia decision is all matter for us. After Sophia left us, we talk also about for being enemies. After a while Dwayne and I became friends again and we forgive each other and about being rival to Sophia. We think our friendship with her than each of us may get hurt just for love.

THE END!

THAT’S ENOUGH COVID 19

Our world is still middle of pandemic

Those infected by virus are passed away

Peoples wants to end this epidemic

To go back to our real happiest life day

 Covid virus spread all over the world

It’s makes ill and can affect anyone

Frontliners are already tired and swirled

Let’s now listen to them to make it done

 It may hard to accept that they left us

That is what hard life feels like now today

The scientist made a vaccine to discuss

Take vaccines to protect and be okay

 Let’s have unity and help one another

Wear mask and face shield to protect ourselves

Importance of mental health in this time of pandemic

Good Afternoon, everyone, Today we are going to talk about the importance of mental health in this pandemic, we all know that having mental health is not okay especially in this time of pandemic and we felt our energy lessen like we easily get irritated, we easily get angry and you feel everything surrounds us like a chore, like everything we see things is our responsibility. We feel that we are trap in a negative situation and we don’t want to solve situations just to free ourselves, now a days we like to become more protective in our feelings, we don’t want other people to judge you and we are having lack of motivations to become more productive in everyday living. Especially in small things we easily get irritated even before those things don’t make you irritated. This pandemic makes the world take a turn for the worse and many people passed on about this virus. It took 1 year to have vaccines, many experts and scientist still studying the vaccine and its effects on the body. Also, when the pandemic started, the people in the world, experiencing mental health that people think it it's not rocket science but this mental health is to make matters worse if this is not gotten treatment. This can be a perfect storm to death, which we don’t want to happen. We should value our health now this day because we don’t know how far a person lives. This time of pandemic, our mental health is so very important because it affects our daily living and it changes our physical and mental conditions. Now a days, the most common we experiencing mental health is depression, anxiety and being bipolar. This kind of mental illness can’t be cure but it can be treated to lessen the matters worse, as a student, I want to give awareness this pandemic since many students had kicked the bucket. But don’t worry people come and people go.

First Steps on an Unknown Planet

Elena looks around. It’s dark and the sky has a black color without any stars. She thinks about his boyfriend. “There is no chance that he died! I know him for twelve years and he is strong enough. I will see him again. I’m sure about that. She hears nothing but the silence. Never before has she heard absolutely nothing. And suddenly she realizes that she is alone. There are no creatures on this planet. Everything is destroyed. A teardrop rolls over her pale face. And she takes the first step on this unknown planet.

She asked herself, Why I am here? While walking and looking for the things she can use but it is useless because she remembers that there have no creatures here.

She takes a rest for a while because she is too tired of crying…. And then she falls in a deep sleep.

Someone wake up her. Hey! Elena why are you sleeping under the tree? She woke up with confused face and answer her boyfriend “I’m just tired touring our school, it’s so huge and I can’t tour it all in just one day so I decide to take a rest for a while.” Her boyfriend answered her “Yeah, it’s okay at least you have energy now. Do you want to eat?? Elena nodded and they went to the food stalls.

While they were looking for foods to eat, Elena was still confused on what’s happening on her, she remembered that she was in the unknown planet without anything and now she is in the reality, so she decided to asked her boyfriend. “Saint, I have a question do you believe in the solar system that they have also unknown planet???” Saint laughed at her and kiss her. “Elena, are you ok? That’s impossible!!! The scientist already proved that there is no situation like that.” He answered.

But still, she didn’t believe on what Saint said because she knows on herself that she is been there. She felt sad about Saint answer so she decided to go home. “Where are you going?” Saint asked. I’m going home, I’m tired”.

She went to the school gate and waited a taxi to ride to go home.

After a long hour, she already arrived on her house. She went to her room and put her things on her table then went to CR to clean first. After she go out to her CR, she jumps to her bedroom and think about what happened ago. “I think it is just a dream, I was very tired that time so I imagined many things, Saint is also true but how could it impossible that it really happened. I saw it on my own eyes.” She decided to sleep because she still has a class tomorrow.

She wakes up early and went to school to attend her favorite subject Creative Writing because Ms. Imogen will talk about the dreams. She really listens on what Ms. Imogen talking about. “According to some psychologist, they said that dreams can be happened in real life, they can make you feel happy, sad, or scared. And they may seem confusing or perfectly rational.” “It has many types of dreams, it can be normal dreams, daydreams, lucid dreams, false awakening dreams, and nightmares.” “But be careful class because the most dangerous dreams are nightmares, where you have 50/50 chances that you can still awake of it or be there lived and die!” Elena was so shocked when she hears those words coming from Ms. Imogen.

After the class ended, she went home and sleep because she has 50 Performance Tasks that needed to be done later. 2 hours later, she heard a phone ringing, the caller id name is Saint, she sat down and answered it. “Elena, this is the father of Saint, can you come here because Saint is now in critical conditions” Elena dropped her phone and she get a jacket and call a taxi to go to the hospital right away!

When she enters the hospital, she saw the father of Saint, she asked, “what is his conditions now?? Is he going to be alright?? Tell me Tito!”. Tito didn’t answer her but he only hugged Elena to lessen the pain. Elena refused the hug and she shouted “Tito please answer me!!”

Tito Shiloah sighted and calm her before he answers. “Saint is…. Is already left us while you were arriving here”. Elena can’t believe it and left Tito Shiloah to get a fresh air, she went to the garden to get enough air and think Saint, she really can’t believe it, she said to herself “It’s not true, Saint loves me and he promise me that he won’t ever leave me” “I need to wake up, I might be dreaming” until she passed out.

As she wakes up, she realizes that it was only a dream, she is still in the unknown planet. She is now awake in her deep sleep and wondered how did she step in this unknown planet and that’s why the only left thing she said

“What happened?”

“Two Wolves”

I was very aware of it when my father had passed away, I feels so down because I can’t do anything to bring back the life of my dad. It was really hurt for me to lose someone especially my dad. My dad is my everything and the most I close to. That day, I feel that it is the end of my happiness and life because the most precious people that I have is leaving me. I blaming myself because it must be about myself who cause it. Other one is so very joyous, meaningful, and fulfilling life when I already been moved up to become Grade 11, it was so very happy because I have no problems in my academics and the most happiest moment that I have is before my dad died, we celebrated the father’s day in the hospital and we took a photo with him. I think it is the greatest gift that I gave to my dad before he left us. It will become a memory for him.

Good Morning Everyone, Today’s topic is about Knowing One self.

A realization that struck me the most about the topic is we have own strengths  and weaknesses that all people have this and experienced this. Every person has weakness but they should turn it to strength because the weakness will hold it back from achieving the goals. We should accept, practice and ask guidance to make it strength. My core strength is singing, cooking and make up myself. 

My qualities i want to hone is my cooking skills because someday I want to be a famous chef  and the qualities i want to improve on is to perfect the make up styles especially in the eyebrows because i see myself that i have a little eyebrows.
