A Daughter's thoughts

Dear God,

            Lord, thank you for the life that you’ve always given us. Thank you for all the blessings that we always get. I’m very sorry for all the things that I have done that made you not pleased. But now, I want to take a minute to thank you for creating my parents.

            I always thank you for giving me parents like them. I know they are not the “perfect parents” yet I know, they are the best for me. Thank you for giving them the patience when I am really a bad daughter. Bless their lives since they made a path for me towards you. They were my first teachers because they had patience when I was still young trying to walk, counting the numbers and reciting the alphabet.

            Please guide them to everything that they do. It’s really hard for us to say this personally to my parents but thank you lord that you’ve given me the courage to say this all.

            Bless my mother, oh Lord. For being there when I have problems. For showing her “motherly love”. For hugging me when I’m cold. For being there when I’m crying about my research. You know lord, I barely say this but I really love that. For trying to understand me; Bless her life Oh Lord.

            Bless my Father oh Lord. For disciplining me; For teaching me your way. I rarely, I mean I really don’t say I love you to him personally but Lord, I really do. For teaching me instruments that I want; Bless his life oh Lord.

            I know that there are a lot of hard works and struggles my parents already had. Please help and guide them oh Lord in everything that they do. Bless their lives and make them live longer. Give them good health. Thank you again oh Lord. Amen.

                                                                                                                       

Always,

Sophie

Regrets in Life

        All of us have regrets. It just depends on how we treat them. Some people have regrets that they cherish for their whole life. Some regrets stay for how many days only.

        I am a person who regrets a lot. Even in my NCAE results, my decision-making result is the lowest. I make things that make me regret. One of my regrets is when I was a child. I was jumping on the bed. I was happy that time. Then, my little brother saw me and asks if he can join me. I, of course, agreed. While we were happily jumping, my brother stumbled down and hit his head on the metal on the floor. I was shock. They rushed him to the hospital. My parents, my siblings, all of them didn't blame me. But I, blame myself. While they were in the hospital, I was crying in the corner. I can't speak and my heart beats fast. When my parents arrived, they told me that I cried harder and longer than my brother who's hurt. He didn't even cry when he is having the operation. He's brave as a lion. But I was a coward as a mouse.

          Back then, I am regretting the fact that I didn't put a serious effort when i was a first year student. I was once in Nitrogen, the first section in our level. But now, I am very happy even though I am not in Nitrogen anymore. I met a lot of new people; I make friends; and the pressure that I felt back then was gone. 

          Regrets are just experiences in life where you can get a lesson. All we need to do is to reflect on what we did and make a lesson out of it. 

      

Idols of the Past

          Fernando Poe Jr. Yes. he's my idol. Very unladylike since he makes action movies. But for me, he's an idol why?
          He's a really good person. My father said that he was very close for being the President but some issues came. They said that if you go to him and seek for help, he will help you.
          He's a great actor. I was really amazed with his skills and it was very cool. If I had a chance to talk to him, i would ask what is his plans if he became the president. I would also ask how he became a good actor. I really respect this person and I'm sure that he is a good person because I can feel it in my heart.

Inferno: School Version

First Station: Gate- Student Police

          The very light yet still an offense is the NO ID NO ENTRY Policy. The students who will violate this policy can be charged by the STUDENT POLICE. Their punishment is to make a letter that explains why they are late. These letters will be given to the advisers and the adviser will be in charge of the deducting. This also implies with the later comers.

Second Station: Pathway- Principal/ teachers/Staff

          All of the students are encouraged to stay in the pathways and not walk on the grass. others still do it even though the principal says it already.

Third Station: Pathway- Principal/ teachers/Staff

          As a school, peace should be maintained all the way. One problem here is the students yell and shout at the top of their lungs when they are really happy or something happened. 

Fourth Station: School Area/ Designed Area- Adviser/ Leader of the group

          All of the students have duties before the start of the class. It is usually cleaning. Many students disobey this policy because of different reasons. Maybe because they are late, or they still don't have their assignments. 

Fifth Station: Field- P.E. Teacher

         Physical Education is a subject in which students are required to change their uniform into P.E. uniform. Others still wear their uniforms during practicums. Their punishment is a 0 for the day's activities or being marked as Absent.

Sixth Station: Court- Teacher/Adviser/ Principal

          Other students play basketball even though there are still classes. It is also not allowed to play during afternoon because the sun can damaged the skin. The punishment is they will be counselled by the teachers.

Seventh Station: Room- Teachers

          The Noise Makers. Noisy students are always present in every school. Their punishment is depending on the teacher.

Eight Station: Room- Teachers

          The Forgers. Students should let their parents sign their homeworks but since they don't make it at home or they forgot to let their parents sign, they forge their signatures. The punishment is counselling.

Ninth Station: Room- Teachers

          The cheaters. Those who cheat during exams and quizzes. Changing their scores and copying to their seatmate. Their punishment is counselling and maybe, Suspension.

Texting?

          I'm not really fond of texting. When I was still in elementary, I am fond of texting. But since we are busy in our high school days, i forgot how texting became a part of my life.
          Others, due to excessive texting, have some problems. Others text while having classes. This is really bad. Those cellphones should be confiscated. And also texting can affect our grammars. Remember the "JEJEMONS" back then? their grammar and their spelling is really hard to understand. if we are responsible texters, then we should know our limits.
          My english grammar was not affected by texting since when I am texting, I always think if the receiver of the text can understand me. I know that these days, a cellphone is important beacuse we can communicate with it. but we should be responsible in using it.

Vacationnnnnnn!

          This sembreak, i was really happy. During the last day before our sembreak, we got our report cards. I was happy since my grades were not low. For my reward, my parents got me a phone. I don't like phones because i'm just using it for games and when I really need it. But i am really happy because of the new phone.
          I spent my vacation watching T.V., playing with my phone, checking my facebook, sleep, eat and being in charge of our store. I played with kids in our baranggay since they buy in our store.
          But the most important is the reason for this sembreak: All Souls' Day. I visited the tomb of my grandmother. I was really happy when the visitation looked like a family reunion.
          Because I became too lazy in those days, I crammed at the last day of the vacation. Of course we had homeworks and projects to work on that vacation. This vacation was fun. I think I really need this because of the stress everyday that we students endure.

“Be careful of love. It'll twist your brain around and leave you thinking up is down and right is wrong.” 

― Rick Riordan

          As a person, we can’t deny the fact that we already felt those butterflies in our stomach whenever a person comes to our mind. Those times when we are teased by our friends and end up being busted by that person. We can’t deny these facts because as a person, we love.

          When we are still small, we watch those Disney Fairy tales  There is a common ending where they lived happily ever after. But we should know that in reality, it is not fairytale so we should stop dreaming of a “happily ever after” ending. Because stories don’t always have happy endings.

          Honestly, I don’t know if I already became in love. Crush perhaps but I don’t know love. I never had a boyfriend in my whole life. In love, you are risking everything. You don’t know if that person loves you too and you can be brokenhearted. Yes, I’m a person who’s afraid of being in love so I am trying my best to avoid it. Yet, love moves in mysterious ways and we don’t know when it will come to us.

          In love, you don’t want the time to stop whenever he’s with you. You can’t help it but to smile and feel like you’re floating. You experience those butterflies whenever he’s talking to you. You dream of your future with him or her. You are always excited to go to school because he is there.

         

Love is really hard to explain and define. But for me, Love is the attraction that we feel to a certain person. In love, there are no exceptions, even if you are blind, deaf or etc.. But in love, there are many dumb. In love, you think that something is right but it is actually wrong. Sometimes, we are already hurt but we are too dumb to leave that person. In love, there are many dumb.

          We can’t deny the fact that we are attracted with the outside features first. But we should still look at their characteristics. I would love a man whose music inclined, and kind. A responsible and family-oriented guy is already good. A guy who is always there to help me and protect me whenever I have problems. A guy who has a faith in God. A man who is a friend to me. A man that can make me happy by throwing jokes even if it’s corny.
