It's Priceless
June.19,Thursday. It was my bestfriend's birthday and I'm excited about it,
excited in a way that I'm not! and the fact that i haven't seen him since summer.
So i really wanted to see him and of course to celebrate his birthday. But I don't have the time,
he is busy and so was I, so i give up! i told myself that next time, i could see him.
So i just greeted him through text and guess what? no reply! just a simple Thank you will do!
but he didn't, so i got disappointed. Then i received a text message, it's my friend Lhai
she told me to meet her at the front gate of my subdivision. So i went out, and follow her till
we reach the other subdivision, I saw my best friend. I'm not surprise but that time i felt uneasy
though i know deep inside I'm happy. Nothing happen we didn't talk to each other,were
just standing next to each other as time pass i decided to go home,then i said goodbye and happy birthday!
when i arrived home, he text me and said "thank you for making my birthday special" and i smiled,
i smile because i feel so special, that i dont need to do anything to make his day special like giving gifts or alike,
i mean just by being there, just by being part of it I mean its priceless...making someone happy just by existing is priceless.

P.E!
Last Wednesday, June.25 early in the morning i wake up with the good mood. I don't know why I feel so excited
so energetic, knowing that my first class in the morning is math. The fact that i hate math..really, i hate variables!!!
but that time I'm really excited, the discussion went well, solving is easy as time passes, I'm dying to go out, knowing that P.E is next..I'm excited, i want to do my P.E lessons nowI don't eat because of excitement, me and my classmates waited for an hour till our P.E starts.Here he comes..P.E! P.E! we said..we do all the stretches, i love stretching ,i feel so healthy..now! it's time.. the most awaited event,running time!..sir said women should go first..we will run around the oval for 2 lapses..I'm so excited..so i run..then suddenly i got tired so i jog then i got tired, so i walk...walk..walk...then i regain few of my energy..so i jog...then i walk...jog and walk..after 1 lap..i felt ill.. but i still continue and walk...as I'm about to cross the finish line..i run, i rank fifth with the time of 5:39min. so much for a newbie.though I'm glad because i made it, then i rest,because i get dizzy, i felt so ill.while I'm sitting at the bench, boys do their running thing. Suddenly i thought about those athletes who really run fast and represents our country, they must have been really undergoing lot's of heavy training to come up with a good stamina to hold on while running and imagine they're doing it almost half of their life..WOW!. I really admired those people. Though I'm not athletic at least i experience running not for my life but for my grade, admiring people is what i always do,specially when they were experiencing struggles then they over come it..well it's for self relating and inspiration pursose.= sir english 101 comment ="you should consider them as an inspiration to achieve what you want to achieve."*************************************************************************************

A Precious Gift
I have a very precious cow i name it ♥ MILK it was given to me by my precious brother since then i start liking it. I became a fun of animated cow. Though I'm having a hard time looking for stuff with that specific design, fortunately he always do.My Milk has a soft body with big head and big nose.Its cuddly and big in size.I always take a picture of it together with me and I'm fond of showing it to everyone if ever they find it lovely it makes me happy. I'm satisfied having Milk, I'm very sentimental when it comes to him, i really value that little thingy!. i hope other people value things too. especially if it comes from someone you also value. goodnight!= sir english 101 comment ="little things should make us realize that we are lucky to have people who care for us.

Hateful week
This whole week is very tiring.Prelim exam is coming,i don't know what will happen, i have no idea, the last exam that i take this day is P.E! i feel so stupid because I've memorize every word that is need to be memorize, and when i get my test paper there is only 2 questions, for heaven sake my mind got mix up and i don't know if I'm doing it right. my professor explain what to do but i think i misunderstand him,almost all of us didn't get his explanation. I don't know why this is happening to me, maybe I'm really stupid that time or I'm having a hard time adjusting my self in this La Sallian way. Maybe i need to say goodbye to my good old high school day's where everything is considered,more easy than college. Lets face reality were talking about my future here not just the money my mother spend for this course i only want to pass exams but im having a hard time convincing my self, I'm loosing my self confidencebut i hope i can make it. i love my course and i love what im doing, and i know this is for me. everything im doing in school is for me.
i hope that this coming week i can perform well in my exams and i hope that next semester, no more adjustments to make..

For One More Day
For one more day,a very inspiring book written by Mitch
Albom. it tells a story about how a mother loved
their child unconditionally and how child most of the time ignore their mother and priorities other things.
Its a story of Charles "Chick" Benetto and her Mother "Posey", how chick blame himself for her mother's
death, how his life was rotten, and decided to end it, how his family collapsed.When her mother came to
life and explain everything to him, all his childhood questions and all the mysteries of his parents realationship
had been answered.That it's never too late for someone so rotten to changed for good. and how he lived his life
to the fullest until his death. ..sometimes, even just FOR ONE MORE DAY i would belive, that this story was
true. It makes me realize how precious and short our lives may have. How time flies so quickly. How things done
cannot be undone,even if you cry your heart out.That losing someone is not a reason for us to be miserable instead
used it to keep on going and make life worth living for.It sadden me that people can only realize the value of someone
when it's already gone.That book makes me realize so many things in life and it make me realized that i love my mother
more than i loved her and "if my mother said it, i believe it!". A qoute from the story that caught my attention...
"ONE DAY CAN BEND YOUR LIFE".

community service
Last August 10 and 17, I had experience a real community service. I was very excited because it's my first time doing things like that.
We chose to help the family at Area G,The Garcia family. I met Mrs.Reniena Garcia she is a mother of her 6 children. they lived in a small house. They are an example of a simple family. We begun to ask her alot of questions and we learned that the house they were leaving is not their property. She told us that they found it abandoned so they occupy it. We ask them about food and she told us that most of the time they only eat once a day because
earning money for them is not easy as one, two, three...she told us that her husband doesnt have a permanent job, that they were only depending on the extra job his husband couold get and sometimes his husband get enter to any part time job so they can't eat. But she told us that they were contented. They might not get every precious thing money can offer at least they are complete and happy. It makes me realize how hard to make and earn for a living...i remember the times i wasted and spend money for a not so
important things.The second sunday, we brought groceries lots of food and maybe it could only last for a week. Though we can't help them in their financial problems in our own little way we know we put smiles on their faces. though i'ts not a big deal for other's but for us helping them is a blessing...
