Helluva proud that I’m a PINOY

I was really dreading the fact that I haven’t watched the grand finals of Pilipinas Got Talent. I surely missed the performance of El Gamma Penumbra, and as I was watching their video on Youtube, their perf really took my breath away and at the same time felt the goosebumps all over me.

Anyways, enjoy the video and be HELLUVA PROUD to be a PINOY!

THE BOOKWORM’s FRIDAY

A freaking Friday everyone!

I decided to make this blog a bit personal, so here I am writing my thoughts down as though this blog is my diary. Well, not the personal diary but a diary for events in my life, of course. If not for daily then weekly then if not weekly then monthly and so on.

So here it goes.

I woke up late today (specifically 9.30 A.M)and the first thing I did is to pet my dog, gave him his food and everything then ate my breakfast and since I don’t know what else to do  so  I turned on the computer and oh- my parents are nowhere to be found-Mom’s in office and my dad- I don’t know where’s my Dad. Anyways, I decided to read an e-book [since I don't have money yet because its our semestral break (semestral break= no money)]  entitled Trust Me On This by Jennifer Crusie .  Actually, I just started reading the author’s books when I stumbled on her novel (What the Lady Wants) in Amazon.com while checking on novels in the contemporary genre. So I downloaded it then read it and that was the start of my addiction to her novels. In fact, I downloaded most of her novels already and read about four of it including Trust Me On This. 

She really is an amazing writer. She has these witty dialogues and impressive scenes in the book that I’ve decided to read all of her books. I’ve been inspired by her and I’ve asked help from my high-school classmates to give me topics that I can write on since I have so many ideas but I don’t have a specific topic to write.

And oh- by the way! I’ve been looking up all over the web for any creative writing contests that doesn’t have entry fees. Don’t be afraid to comment this blog for any contests you know.

 

That’s all for today folks!

Have a blessed Friday!

 

Keeping Company with Myself

 

I was quite wandering around the campus when I suddenly felt the urge to sit down. It was one hell of a hot day and the pure evidence of it is the sweat trickling down my spine and the precipitate of sweat forming on my upper lip. I caught sight of a drinking fountain and drank from it and since I got so tired of roaming around the campus, I decided to rest and the perfect spot would be on the stone benches under the shade of trees surrounding it. I crossed the quadrangle and when I reached the spot, I sighed with relief.

I put my sling bag on the rounded stone table along with my books while feeling contented of the cool wind swirling around taking the heat down and sending wisps of my hair flying around which I gently tuck behind my ear.  I looked around and watched the students around me. Some are buying food from that overpricing canteen, some are hurriedly walking across the quadrangle to their own points of destination and others are just like me; lazily sitting on the stone benches nearby. It is still my break time, since I have four hours of it, wherein I spent an hour already of it by roaming around the campus and I’m intending to spend the remaining three hours of it by just sitting around here to wait for my next class. And as I continue to stare at people, I suddenly felt so lonely sitting all alone.

Before, I had a bunch of friends, and the memory of spending all my free time with them feels like acid on my stomach. It was always a happy experience for all of us before a fight tore us up to pieces. Everyone began jumping on to which side they’ll go and before we knew it, our friendship shattered.

And as I look back on it, I can’t help but sigh with regret over the friendship that was terribly wasted. If only I could turn back time and undo all the things I have done but there is always a nagging voice inside my head saying, “Too bad, your friend is a little bit insensitive”. I am not blaming this to her but I already got tired of putting up with my patience whenever she ‘unconsciously’ wrongs me. I know I’m not a patient person and my temper is as volatile as a gasoline but I’m sure that I already tried my hardest to tame the dragon within me until that one event where I exploded and I knew I couldn’t take it anymore.

I snapped out of my reverie and let my eyes wander again and it was then that I realized, being alone doesn’t always mean about being lonely and eating yourself out but it also means spending some time on yourself to become a rather independent and dependable person. I sighed heavily and stood up, picked up my bag and books and went to my next class.
