By nature, we are all indeed fun loving people who loves me mingle with others. We usually enjoy rooming around with the people we have connections with.

Seeking for Acceptance…
“The Aetas of Roxas City”
We usually notice them walking and begging on the side of the streets asking for just a whit of kindness from all the people passing them by. Trying to beg for a little penny and left over food to fill-in their hungry stomach.
Aetas or “Ati” as they were called in the local Hiligaynon dialect. Those dark-skinned with curly hair nomads who had tried their luck and choose to live in the City. Wandering from place to place, trying to find a place where they could at least have a shelter to protect them from cold nights and might as well make them forget of the unfairness of life and repose for a while.
No one really has the exact explanation on how and where did these people came from. But as what the majority says, they came from the mountains that had walked their way to seek their fate in the City. Everyday is an endless day of dreaming and hoping that that time will come, they would eventually live a life they longed to experience. Cheering over and sharing those small amounts of residue given by the few people who is in some ways had been touched by these wanderers situation.
These people were the aborigines of the Philippines who had once been a legend. But then, the history came to be so silent that even others are not aware of such fact that they were our own ancestors and once been a part of the country’s history. Their existence had been slowly ignored and would soon be just like a usual view for the heartless people surrounding them.
They are also creatures of God who longed nothing but love and acceptance from others. But because of the usual judgments and repugnance of the people around them, they were forced to live their lives as it is, giving them no chance to feel such freedom. No matter what others may look at them, brought about by the wrong impressions, still, they ought to feel the kindness and love of their neighbor. That time will soon come, they could live blissfully in a place where they are openly accepted and treated the same way with others.
Ma’am Strict
“The Person who intimidates me”
We always look at being intimidated in a negative way. Having a feeling of discomfort towards a person and being timid in such a way discourages or deter us from acting or expressing ourselves.
During my high school life, we have this teacher who makes me feel uneasy whenever she’s around. Sometimes, it’s hard for me to express my self because I’m afraid I might commit such mistake. “She seems strict”…that’s always the usual impression of every student in school. Her antagonistic and disciplinarian aura makes every student behave like saints.
But as a student, I could fathom the reason of her being strict to her students. As a teacher, you are no doubt responsible of teaching and helping your students to become proud and dignified citizens of the world and be equipped with knowledge and wisdom to face life’s trials. That’s why; it’s natural for them to act strict for the purpose of disciplining their students. We are usually not aware of that fact because we look at it in a different way. Misconception is what we could define it.
As for me, she has been undeniably intimidating at times but, it’s clearly for my own benefit. Actually, I owe it to her because in some ways, she had been a great help for me to gain courage and stand for what is my own view, be disciplined and learn to obey the rules being imposed.
Timidity and being discourage is inevitable but. As we look at the positive side, it’s really for our own sake.

Carnival Ride
“Riding a Ferris Wheel”
Carnival rides are typical attractions on amusement parts and carnivals. It is one of the reasons why a lot of visitors are fond of visiting along, usually for the purpose of fun and enjoyment.
When I was still a child, I had an experience of riding one. Specifically, I couldn’t remember the exact day, but
one thing that I’m sure of is that, I have enjoyed every moment while I was riding a Ferris wheel. I was accompanied by my aunt, and we both had a wonderful time together. The fact that I was still a child did not deter my likeness to ride. As a person who loves adventures, I really love the feeling of thrill and excitement. Though as a child, that kind of thought wasn’t that clear to me at all. And I was very glad of having enjoyed riding it. For others, of course, it’s just some kind of “nothing”, but because I was just a child, I was pleased with my experience.
Sound of Music
“Listening to my Favorite Music”
Music makes the world go round. It seeks to relieve stress or negative aura to 
lighten up one’s day. Listening to music can be an effective way of building unity to people. It gives life to a worried soul and reveals one emotion as we dare to listen to the sound of music. It’s sometimes the voice of a silent mind, a reflection of one’s character and the courage of one’s heart to bring out a message of love for someone.
As an avid fan of music, I obviously love listening to it at all times. At times, it’s 
good to have a break and listen to music for it can sometimes bring a feeling of relaxation and ease in me. It’s where I could find peace of mind and repose for a white. Music indeed plays a significant role in our lives. Though sometimes, others may not be aware of such fact. Music has a lot of usage for me. Times that I needed to concentrate on my studies, a relaxing habit, setting up a mood, giving me strength, life and energy to face another day of my story, music is always my company. Sometimes, it serves as my inspiration and my way of realizing thing sand situations.
Life without music would undoubtedly be boring. To reckon with, there are no melodies to listen which are most pleasing to hear, no life for a tough, day, and no more chance of shouting out those hidden emotions.

Blissful Haven
“Place I daydream about”
As creatures of God, we were fortunate to be given such intellect for us to be able 
to imagine, plan, and dream of what we wanted to happen in our lives. Dreaming is simply imagining things that we wish and hope to happen in our future. Occasionally, dreams may give us the strength to go on with our lives, and in the other way, encourage us to outdo all the difficulties and trials we may encounter.
Dreams may be just a fantasy or a reverie, but there are those and mostly who dream something attainable, measurable and realistic. We can be whoever we wanted to be or live in place we dreamed to live. All of this is just some of the usual dreams that a typical individual wishes to happen. Moreover, this wishes and dreams can certainly satisfy and eventually fulfill us as an individual. Whatever desire we may have in our selves, surely, this could likely bring us satisfaction we longed to achieve. Read the rest of this entry »

Valuable Memories
“My priced possession”
When we talk of valuing things, it’s surely something that we possess which certainly has worth for us. They consider it as a highly priced property that has both objective and subjective significance for those who possess it. Usually, it is something that is utmost valuable, that nothing can replace such thing. This may be of a life form, a non-living thing, souvenirs, photos, or anything we may consider as our priced possession.
As a person who loves to keep and treasure things that will somehow remind me of every memories of my life, considers all my teenage life souvenirs as my priced possession. Some may consider it as scrap, but they mean a lot to me. Secret note, photos, school projects, gifts from friends, remembrances, even test papers and scratch papers, are just some of my property I value the most. Memories of my teenage life are one of the best parts of my life’s story. I care and love my friends so much because they have been my second family at times that I am not with my family. People I have been destined to meet and had treated me as special as they are to me. Read the rest of this entry »
