Unforgettable Tagaytay Trip

On our first Anniversary with my girlfriend we decided to go to Tagaytay for a new place and experiences from affordable condo to stay, to food that most likely eaten in a cold weather places, down to the breathtaking view/s in a different spot/places in Tagaytay.

First, we book an affordable yet classy condo in Wind Residences SMDC, Tagaytay where you can see the famous rocky terrestrial Taal Volcano and beautiful scenery near the place. At night you can see a dangling and cozy City lights and bright stars above the sky.

Second, we go to People's Park in the Sky where we walked to the top to see the breathtaking view below us and around us. We took some photos there and after that we go to Picnic Grove which brings back memories with my family back then. We rested there while eating snacks, talking about life and looking at the beautiful scenery infront of us.

Third, after the tiring trip we ate at Jaytee's Restaurant for our dinner. We ordered our two favorite which also their best sellers hot, savory and delicious bowl of Bulalo and their special Kare-kare that taste like home.

Above all, our experience in Tagaytay was excellent, crazy and fantastic. We also rode some extreme and breathtaking rides recklessly that made our stomach upside down. Our adventure there was a great and memorable one because of the ambiance, great weather, beautiful scenery of each and every place and also the food that is appetizingly delicious.

A simple yet Wonderful Life

Living in a small but crowded, dirty and clean, noisy and messy but a fun place of Malibay, Pasay City, where I grow with passion, dreams and contentment in life.

They say that our hometown is like a garbage with a bunch of trash which they say a "squatter place" because of scattered trash everywhere, a bad smell coming from the river at the back and from the poop of dogs but little did they know that there lived the kind hearted people, a beautiful scenery of a city especially at night, an affordable things and food to buy is here in Malibay.

Furthermore, Malibay is a place where people are contented with the life they had but as for me, Malibay is my inspiration to dream big, to take risks and be ambitious because someday I want to give my family a better and a decent life where, far from danger and disasters which they experience at Malibay, Pasay City.

The Challenging Life of a Teenage Mom

Being a mother at a young age a is hard. It gives you pressure, anxiety and a big responsibility. But as for Ira, she is as strong as rock indeed, because she never thought of aborting it when she has thousands of reason to do so.

Ira being a teenage mom had to sacrifice her studies to be able to look for her adorable, charming and angelic faced baby boy. At first she was scared of many things that will happen the moment that she figured out she is pregnant as well as the thought of her dropping at school for her baby makes me appreciate and admired her more.

At this time, I am speechless because being a teenage mom is big and hard responsibility especially a first time mom at a young age but it didn't stop her from continuing in life, in fact her baby is enough reason for her and her motivation to strive, to have a better life and be a better person.

Memories from the Past

It was a calm breezy day at our hometown in Pasay City, I was around four or five years old at that time. I wear my favorite pink Hello Kitty dress, running, roaming, jumping and rolling in our house.

I remember playing with my cousins outside with our neighbor friends. We play, we fight, we cry, we laugh, and we explore. In our hometown we have lots of neighbours, vehicle, and others that may look crowded in the eyes of others. Despite of crowded barangay, it tightens our relationship towards each other. It feels like I am at the world full of joy that feels nostalgic for me until now. Our place might look like crowded and a mountain of trash, it builds my personality as a child/my childhood to be more adventurous, extraordinary and memorable that I will be bringing until my last breath.

Lastly, the memories I had before gives me strength and courage to move forward no matter how weak I am, how hard the challenges the life give me, how unfair the world is, I will move forward/I must move forward to help and give back to the people that helps our family in times of needed.

Maria Carmela

Born on the 3rd of November, 2003 and will turn 21 this year. Carmela is a loving, caring, will value you and will look up to you believing that you can do it and fight for you no matter what the circumstances are. She is the eldest among her siblings. Her parents were Rosalie Natividad and Erick Natividad, her two siblings are Rona (middle child) and Kyrie Natividad (youngest).

Carmela being the eldest daughter did her best to help her parents emotionally and financially. She is smart as a whip on our grade 11 days, she stands out on their section, she likes math to the point that her friends call her a human calculator but despite of being genius she's als lazy as panda. She drop out of her school because of Family problems. Both of her parents separate their ways without even consulting her as an eldest. On that day she thinks that her wrong doings in the past is the reason why she experience those problems. Nevertheless, she stood on her own to provide and give her two siblings the things she never experienced before. She is like a mother and father of the two. She work day and night to support the needs of her siblings.

Throughout the years, Carmela had some obstacles, some of them still here. But as the days goes by, Carmela still consider it as a blessing because she had something to learn to. Indeed, she is as strong as rock and for me, her beauty inside and out can never be compared to anyone else.

A Hopeful Soul

My name is Shiley Ann Buenafe. I am 19 years old and I was born on the 8th day of August, 2004 somewhere in Pasay City, Manila. My mother's name is Gina Buenafem. My mother passed away when I was 3 years old while my father has other family.

Have you ever wonder what life I had before? It was my best and happy life when I am at our hometown in Malibay, Pasay City with my aunts and cousins. There I am loved and cared the most because for them I needed the most attention that I don't received from my parents. There I get to do what I want with their guidance, I could express myself and my thoughts, I can cry and laugh. Until there was an accident that changed everything. There's a fire in our barangay, you could hear the sound of explosion everywhere, me as a child who couldn't do anything but cry while watching the fire slowly consuming our house.

Two days after that incident, I found myself crying inside of the bus going to Cavite where a new challenge of life awaits. My life in Cavite was not that easy, happy? yes, I get to know my friends, I get to eat three times a day but it doesn't end there. Ever since I came to our relatives here in Cavite, I don't have the courage to express my thoughts especially myself. Every night I cried because of the state of life I have here and also because of homesick. But still, I am thankful for them. For giving the life which I never thought I would experience.
