Beginning of the year

2012-01-09T19:05:00.000-08:00

Well, I'd have to say, this new year started off pretty rough on me...
Four people has lost their lives within the past week and two of those losses really saddened me. Condolences to their families though. :( R.I.P to AdrianD. and AmotioL.S.

Can't imagine adding the cramming I'll have to do for major, major tests coming up- and my teachers aren't much of a help!
But so far, I have managed through all the stress and responsibilities.
I got this. I hope...

I think what’s wrong with the world is that no one says what they feel, they always hold it inside. They’re sad but they don’t cry. They’re happy but they don’t sing or dance. They’re angry but they don’t scream. Because if they do, they feel ashamed, and that’s the worst feeling in the world. So everyone walks with their heads down, and no one sees how beautiful the sky is. - Unknown

Goodbye 2011, Hello 2012

2011-12-28T18:01:00.001-08:00

The year 2011 is almost over! Time is going too fast, in my opinion. "I'd like to stop the time, make clock stand still."
I'd have to say, this year was really eventful: from traveling- California, Texas, Arizona; to driving lessons-passed the driving test and got my license; to dieting-no more soft drinks!; to self-teaching the Japanese language; and to my turning 16.
For the year 2012, I'd have to set new goals to complete. My list is going to be endless; however, I'm not sure I will be able to achieve each one, but hopefully, most of it :)
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

New Year, New haircut! Got rid of 5 and a half inches of hair

Rainy Days

2011-11-27T09:35:00.001-08:00

R a i n y D a y s

1 It's one of those days where I sit by my windowsill

and stare through my window-stained glass,

watching as the heaven cries,

the thunder cracks,

lightning shoots blinding lights,

and the never ending droplets of waterfalls

Admiring how the water heavenly showers down(though gracefully)

down the sidewalk

glistening puddles of water- finding rest on cracks

10 It's these kinds of seasons

where my whole body receives this kind of calmness and sincerity

Where my mind only knows peace,

heart only knows hapiness, no heartache

I forget about everything

15 Somehow, it's rainy days like these that

I'm mesmerized by the unspoken beauty it carries

Love During An Eclipse

But for us,

It's the moment we've been waiting since eternity.

Summer Update [Long time no SEE!]

2011-06-28T11:33:00.000-07:00

It's been a while since the last time I posted on my blog. I rarely ever post anything here anyways..which is not really ok.

Now that the time has come when the sun shines its brightest, fun things always await.

This summer so far has been pretty exciting, we flew to Cali where my papa currently resides; only to find out that we have to fly again? to the largest state of the united states. (Booo! D;) The 2-day road trip was so tiring! But on the bright side, I got to go on a lot of waterparks and amusement parks-SixFlags, etc. with my family.

My mom also made me a schedule-which I had to revise a lot of times- for this summer. It mainly consisted of having to study (it's supposed to be party time! school's over), excercising/gym, and a little bit of learning some japanese katakana, reading, swimming, internet surfing. I guarantee I won't be able to exactly follow this planner.That, I am sure of.

Fate Was Never On Our Side

2011-04-21T12:32:00.000-07:00

From the moment I met you
I knew something had changed,
My world had changed
For stealing my heart just like that,
You weren't ordinary.
In my eyes, I knew you were special

I still remember that very instant
Our eyes met and locked
Then we knew it was mutual
It was the beginning of our love

Funny how fate played with us
Our hapiness suddenly taken away
It was like a fast strong wind
That blew our destiny the wrong way

I didn't know God could be that cruel
To take you, my beloved away from me.
Leaving me broken, with nobody to hear me say this

"You taught me how to love,
live, cry, forgive,
But most impostantly,
You forgot to teach me to forget you,
You who's stuck in my heart forever..."

I am currently learning HTML from W3schools.com. It's great so far and I'm just a beginner. So hopefully, I will be able to apply these to my future works that requires HTML editing. For now, I'm just going to experiment on what I know so far, and all that confusing stuff ^_^. After this, I wanna go on to doing the advanced and then hopefully CSS and (maybe) Javascript too!!

And oh, here's where I am currently

The music comes one with my soul
With my breathing, my heartbeat,
As if it was part of me
It joined me with my sorrows
And regrets and sadness
It understands my feelings
Taking me with it
The melody carries my burdens

'Say Yes! To Summer Vacation'

2010-08-07T11:46:00.000-07:00

Okay, so this is an essay I did at school last year and just wanted to post it because I just felt like it.

But anyway, comment on if you agreee on not having a 'Year Round School' policy in your school.
This was when I heard (a couple of months ago) Obama proposing the idea for all the schools in the United States. So here it goes:

Don’t you just love summer? I love the hot weather, the water parks, and especially freedom; freedom from math problems, homework, and all of those school regulations. As a student, sometimes I just want to go home and watch TV, or just forget about school. Because every time you do something everyday, you get tired of doing it. You’d miss your friend and you’d miss the fun. There are a few reasons why students need a summer break, namely stress, vacation, a time for having fun and a chance for expanding knowledge through the outside world.

Whenever stress starts to creep in your mind, a whole lot of things will be affected. It will have an effect on one’s studies, resulting in low grades and losing focus. Imagine getting a pile of homework papers as thick as a subject notebook. Wouldn’t that make your head blow up? Stress also affects the student’s health. The student will start to experience headaches, dizziness, and start becoming weak. This will also affect the student’s mood and relationships with others. Students will most likely show disrespect and bad manners. That is because the brain gets confused and jumbled up because of stress.

Besides stress, students like me should be given time to enjoy life. What is life without happiness? We need to relax our mind, have some fun, and have a break. For instance, students would not have time hanging out with friends and family. Good relationships with all the family members wouldn’t be developed because of the lack of vacation. But vacation is generally not just about spending time with your loved ones. It is also about doing summer activities like swimming, summer sports, and visiting relatives around the whole universe. Just like me, I love to visit my relatives from the Philippines and Illinois. All of us of course, would miss the people that we like spending time with.

Students like me always get stuck with the same environment at school. Seeing the same things everyday is as tiring as eating fish for the whole week. We go to school for more than a hundred days a year! Would we be able to mingle with people outside school if we do not have that much time to do it? We could expand our knowledge and moreover, discover new things. If we learn a lot of things in school, then we should act it out too. For example, we could volunteer for community help. Students could gain knowledge of more things or even give help if we are given the opportunity to do so.

All in all, summer vacation is truly crucial in a student’s life. Because of it, students and parents can say goodbye to worries and stress. Not only having fun, students can still learn new and more exciting things. In other words, students do not need a year round school. If you think we need it, I’d have to say, “No way!”

You Didn't Leave Me

2010-08-06T08:19:00.000-07:00

You have left the world....

However, I will not cry though I know it crushes me , even if it only seems to leave my bitter soul empty.

No, I do not regret it; I do not regret the happy memories you have left me with.

In fact, now I am happy, happy that I had you.

Because I know, I know that you didn't leave me.

I believe that you still linger here, right here....
