Sem Break

Photo Location: Lalaguna Beach Brgy. Marikaban, Tingloy Batangas, Philippines

        After 4 months of school- endless home works and school works, endless noise and activities, sem break is officially here!

        Last October 24, we ended our 1st semester in our school. It also marked the beginning of our sem break (Finally!). It was a one-week-break from school which means we can go to places we want to go. In addition, this break enabled people to go to the cemetery in celebration of the all saints' and souls' day.

        Our whole family spent this break in Batangas. We visited our grandparents in the cemetery and we went swimming after. The photo above is where we spent half a day of swimming and sun bathing. We also had fun with our childhood friends there who never forget us. Some of our grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins were there too. So basically, 'twas a fun experience once again. We didn't even have wifi for one week but we still enjoyed. Our skin was tanned because of the sun shining so bright. On November 3, we went back home here in Manila.

        We left so soon, but we enjoyed. Our stay there was worth while. I'm hoping that we would be able to go back there on our summer vacation. :-)  

Time

Time can change anything and can even change EVERYTHING.

As Time Passes

Once upon a rainy day

I came to class and they said "Hey"

You sat near the front row

And your name, I wanted to know

You're white, tall and charming

And every girl wanted you

You came in front and you were dancing

I was charmed but you never knew

Time came and I felt something

My heart was rapidly beating

To be your partner was my decision

In our play, you became my inspiration

As time passed we were this close

We can be best friends, who knows?

And now we're almost at this stage

Friends and Sweets

INGREDIENTS OF A GOOD SET OF FRIENDS:

1 cup of kindness

1 teaspoon of imperfection

10 mg of fun

4 cups of good influence

5 ml of inspiration

1 bowl of love

They were just somebody and someone in our class. I never thought that they would mean a lot to me. Though my best friends aren't with me all the time, at least these people always stay by my side. In times of happiness we enjoy with each other. When one feels like falling down, we hold each others' hands, pick them up and let them stand again. That's what friends are for.

INGREDIENTS OF CREAM CHEESE FROSTING:

two 8 ounce packages of cream cheese, 1/4 cup (half a stick) of butter, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract and 3-4 cups powdered sugar.

PROCEDURE:

You need the cream cheese and butter to be slightly softened, so you can either leave it out on the counter for a few hours or nuke it in the microwave for 20 seconds. Beat together the softened cream cheese and butter until creamy. Add in the vanilla extract and beat for another 30 seconds. Now start adding the powder sugar 1 cup at a time and beating in between each addition.

"A simple line can make you laugh... or cry."

Flying Without Wings by Westlife

"I love you, but..." & "But, I love you." are two statements that consist of the same words but have two very different meanings.

See, if your special someone tells you he loves you but it won't work, will you be happy? Well of course not. It's like he loves you, yes he does, but there's something stopping him. Maybe he loves you just as a friend or maybe he wants to save the friendship. You would never know, unless he tells you. Generally, this statement would make you cry.

If your special someone tells you ...but, he loves you, then you're a lucky girl. What he wants to tell is that even though you're this one or that one, he'll love you no matter what. In short, he accepts you. Smile, he loves you.

When words in a statement are rearranged, it will form another statement with another meaning. Worse is that the meaning could be the opposite of the meaning of the original arrangement of the statement. Who would've expect, two statements that consist of the same words could either make you laugh or cry. Well, you better watch your statements, specifically the arrangement of words. ;)

Take two: Friendship is back

It's a comeback for their friendship!

After 2 years of no communication, their friendship is finally back!

Their 3-year friendship almost ended when they were in their freshmen years. The teenagers (not stating their real names) became bestfriends when they were in 5th grade. It's a "boy-girl bestfriendship" thing so let's face it. It's really hard to keep a friendship like that. They developed feelings for each other and it made their friendship really complicated. But guess what, they were able to fix it. Glad they did!

Here comes the start of their freshmen year- where they decided to end what they've started. Being in 2 different sections was hard for the both of them. They only see each other during break time, locker time and dismissal. They had inspirations from their class and that's the reason why they parted ways. Insecure maybe? Nah. It's more of time management and of who to prioritize more. 

In their Junior year (their current year) they became classmates. Awkward, yes it is. They don't talk to each other and they don't talk about each other when they're inside their classroom. But earlier this August, the guy approached the girl. He was asking for forgiveness and all that. "It has been 2 years and it should already be forgotten. We could start again but I cannot assure that we'll be as close as how we were before." the girl stated. Generally speaking, he was forgiven. They started their friendship again and together, they hoped that nothing would ruin it again.

And now, they have their new bestfriends already. But still, they became friends.

Note:

This is for the teens out there who lost their bestfriends in a strange way or something. Well, don't push them away if they ever come back. It may not just be his/her fault, maybe it's yours too. Try to work things out. He was your bestfriend, someone you gave your trust to but broke it. You may not give him/her the trust you have given before. It's your choice. Chance is what you have to give. Another chance for him/her and for your friendship. Start from the bottom and continue what you almost ended before.
