15 - There's no Place I'd Rather Be

" Write the names of five places you like or would like to visit. Why? "

     The five places I would like to visit are Boracay, Hongkong Disneyland, Japan, Dubai, UAE and the Outer space. It would really be great to actually be there and experience the beauty of the following places. Boracay is truly the Philippine’s paradise and it is the best beach in Asia. I have seen photos of Boracay on magazines, Facebook and Instagram, and I want to see Boracay in real life. I want to see the inspiring views of the white sand and the amazing clear water. I like to experience going to an island hopping tour. It is also a small tropical island where people from all over the world come to relax and have a good time. As everybody would describe Boracay, it’s a paradise!



     I would also like to visit Hongkong Disneyland. Who would not like to? There are so many things to see and do in Disneyland. I would like to see the beauty of the parade and the grand fireworks show. This is definitely worth to watch! Of course, I want to experience the excitement of the Hongkong Disney rides. A special feature is a picture with Disney characters. I feel like a child again. I fall in love with this place!



     Japan is another place I also want to visit. Tokyo is known for its gadgets, games and all things technical. I want to visit some of their temples, castles and shrines. I want to see and hopefully climb Mount Fuji, the country’s tallest mountain. I want to experience riding on Japan’s bullet train. They say that it feels more like air travel than rail travel. Hopefully, I will make it there!





     I also want to visit Dubai, a wealthy city in United Arab Emirates. The country where there is no tax. I want to see Burj Khalifa or Burj Dubai. It is not only an architectural masterpiece but also the world’s tallest hotel. Dubai has the finest luxury hotels that the world can offer. Their fountains are truly incredible just to watch them is very amazing. The desert is a beautiful part of Dubai and being able to drive into it and camp is a real luxury for people. Dubai is really a great place to visit!

     I want to visit the Outer Space. I know what a life changing experience seeing the earth from space is. To be able to offer to people from all walks of life to visit the Outer Space for the very first time is really amazing! I want to experience the wonders of weightlessness and looking out into black space and bright stars. Not only would it be lots of fun and excitement to travel on a spaceship, how awesome be to set footprint on the moon or to another planet. As of now, they remain places I like to visit. Who knows someday, I might get to visit all of them in the future. Only time can tell…    

14 - Sister Company

" Write about being friends with your brother or sister "

     I’m blessed to have two older sisters in my life. I have not experience to have a brother but I have no regret having my two sisters. Aside from my friends in school, my two sisters are also my bonding buddy. Sometimes we have some arguments and small fights but we can easily patched things out and at the end of the day, things will get normal. The best thing is that I have always someone that give me some advices. We love to watch movies together and we have the same favorite movies we love to watch. Going to malls, doing some shopping and eating are also our favorite bonding. Bowling is also one of our favorite sports together with our dad. Just staying at home, watching TV shows and listening to our favorite music is also our bonding time. We spent a lot of time together. Having elder sisters like them will add to the fun of my life!

      I could say that I am so thankful to have them that I can look up to with regards to their determination and effort towards their studies. They help me in my school homework and projects. They really inspires me to have a good education. They give me the courage to work hard every day.  They both finished their four year course. They have their own stable job. My eldest sister is now a FRM Manager at McDonald. My second sister is working at Max’s Restaurant as Telemarketer. Aside from my parents, I’m also very proud of my sister’s achievement in life. On my part, I’m also doing my best so that they can also be proud of me.  



     There are many reasons why having sisters are so important. Mostly because it is a bond unlike any other that we have in our lives. Part of the protective nature of older sisters are being a good listener. Knowing that I can always count on them whenever I have problems. As their only brother, I am willing to protect them no matter what. I want them to feel that they are important in my life aside from my parents!

13 - Alt + F4 the Stress

" Is there any machine you feel you could not live without? Explain. "

     As a student, computer is a big help for me with regards to my studies. I have a laptop which I used for researching my school homework. I can have access to all sort of information on the internet. There are many great websites that provide free resources for student, like me. I can change fonts easily without having to re-write everything. I can easily check my spelling and grammar with the program that will automatically give me options for the incorrect spelling. I can edit photographs and images, changing the color which I could not do by hand. I can get to know about the entire world news. I can chat to my friends. I can solve my problems about my school activities and projects with the help of internet and computer. The main advantage is how easy computers have made my life.

     One of the reasons that I really love computer because I can play video games with it. Video games like Dota, Counter Strike, and League of Legends. Video games is my stress reliever, after a stressful day at school, I will just play video games in my computer and that’s it my day is complete. One of my favorite video game is League of Legends, it is a fast-paced, competitive online game that blends the speed and intensity of an RTS with RPG elements. Two teams of powerful champions, each with a unique design and playstyle, battle head-to-head across multiple battlefields and game modes. With an ever-expanding roster of champions, frequent updates and a thriving tournament scene, League of Legends offers endless replayability for players of every skill level. In short, it is a game where you pick your champion or character and just kill your enemy to win.




     Computer is very useful all over the world. It really changed our way of life. The use of computer technology affects every area of our lives. We are using computers to perform different tasks quickly and easily. The use of computers makes our task easier. It also saves our time and effort. Since computers have been invented, everybody is dependent on computers. That is why, almost everybody have computers at home.

12 - For Three!!!

What is your hobby? Why do you enjoy it? "


     I have many hobbies and basketball is one of the hobbies I have. I like playing basketball with my friends and we always have a good time together. It makes our friendship become stronger. I feel ease and relax when I’m playing basketball with them. Without basketball, I think I will lose a lot of fun in my life. I am able to play basketball with my friends for hours without getting one thought of boredom. When I play basketball, I feel more confident especially when I shoot the ball on the basketball ring, and I feel so proud of myself!


     Basketball means a lot to me. I also love to watch basketball game on television. There are a variety of moves that the players perform during the games and that makes the game more enjoyable to watch. I have a favorite basketball player. My favorite basketball player is Kobe Bryant. He is my ultimate idol on the court! He always play at his best, put all his effort and always aim to win a championship every game. He can do anything on the court and he is a very versatile player. He knows how to play both sides of the game, offense and defense. He makes the games more exciting because of his best shots and stunning defense. He has a good aim to shoot, good jumping skills to rebound, quick and a good ball handling skills. I like the way he plays. His moves get better and better every time I watches him playing basketball on television.  


     I find that playing basketball game is very challenging because it is not easy to dribble the ball and getting the ball through the ring. Sweats and getting hurt are just the little things that I experiencing while playing the game. I also learned that basketball requires teamwork, fast reactions and endurance. I can say that teamwork is very important in a basketball game because it is very difficult to win alone. One more thing is good communication skills are also necessary to win the game. In addition, the weather is sometimes a problem because I hate playing basketball when it is raining. Despite everything, basketball is my lifetime hobby!

     

11 - A Blog under the Sun

" What is your favorite kind of weather? Why? "

      I love the beautiful sunny weather! I know that you will also agree that it is so much better than rain because rains can cause floods and floods can cause heavy traffic that really irritates everyone. Everybody take advantage of the sunny weather to do outdoor projects, take their families to fun locations such as amusement parks, beaches and try to find ways to relax and keep cool. It's the season when most people take time off of work to enjoy the beauty of the weather for a good vacation.

     The sunlight makes me feel good. I enjoy playing basketball with my friends. I feel so active and strong every time I play basketball. This is another bonding moment with my friends. My family love to eat and dine outside. We can only do it during sunny days because it’s very hard to go around when your surroundings are wet. I prepared the sunny weather because aside that I can enjoy more opportunities of physical activities like walks and jogs, going around the malls and enjoy the sunlight, this is also the reason where we can enjoy normally the abundant fresh, local fruits and vegetables. I like to eat lots of cooling foods like ice cream and fruit salads. I enjoy drinking cold fruit juices, and of course the cold soft drinks to ease my thirst. Sunny weather make the most of the season enjoying all the outdoors can offer. Just like last summer, my classmates and I had enjoy it. We had swimming in the pool for long hours and it was a very memorable experience.

    Weather can decide on what we do for the day. During rainy days I feel a little sad because my activities will be limited only to stay indoors. I feel so bored when I have to stay a lot inside the house. While during sunny days I can go outside and enjoy taking a trip to some places. I’m more appreciative of great weather like sunny days. So remember to stay well hydrated with fresh water, enjoying the sun and simply have fun!

10 - Stop Right Now

" APC's Anti - Smoking Campaign "


The Anti - Smoking Campaign of APC is very beneficial for all of us especially the non - smokers. This campaign help us to be free in smoking and inhaling smoke. There are so many smokers here in APC and their favorite spot is the parking lot. The parking lot is where the students, who rides in the shuttle bus, waits and it is very disturbing for them whenever they inhale the smokes from the cigarettes. Now, that there is a anti - smoking campaign the students who waits in the parking lot will be free of very disturbing smokes 
(ye hey). Thanks to the campaign because now our school is 100% free of smoking.



I, as a non - smoker, totally agrees to this campaign because there are so many harmful effects of smoking not only for the smokers but also for the non - smokers. Cigarette smoke contains many chemicals that are harmful to both smokers and nonsmokers. Breathing even a little cigarette smoke can be harmful. Smoking has been found to harm nearly every bodily organ and organ system in the body and diminishes a person’s overall health. Smoking is a leading cause of cancer and death from cancer.  Smoking cigarettes is the number-one risk factor for lung cancer but smoking can affect your entire body and is known to cause cancer in the lungs, trachea, bronchus, esophagus, oral cavity, lip, nasal cavity, larynx, stomach, bladder, pancreas, kidney, liver, and so much more. I guess after I enumerated what smoking can cause, you will stop smoking because they are so many hahaha. I think there is no benefits in smoking.

This paragraph is dedicated to the smokers so thank me because I will write a paragraph just for you hahaha. This is for the smokers because I will state the reasons why you should quit smoking. First of all, you should stop smoking because it is harmful for you of course. Secondly, is to save money because it is hard to gain money especially that cigarettes right now is very expensive. Lastly, smoking is good for your health and it's good for the people around you. Cigarette smoke is harmful to everyone who inhales it, not just the smoker.

9 - Nation or Yourself?

" Bayani Ba to? Heroism for Millennials "


I was very educated in the seminar because it taught me to appreciate the history. History is very important to us because it connects us to our past and where we came from. The seminar was very educational and fun. The speakers made the forum very informative at the same time entertaining. The forum was very fun because the speakers discuss it with sense of humor. They present the movie " Heneral Luna " which follows the life of one of Philippine History’s most brilliant military men, Heneral Antonio Luna, as he tries to lead his countrymen against colonial masters new and old, and to rise above their own raging disputes to fulfill the promise of the Philippine Revolution. " Heneral Luna " is a film by Jerrold Tarog, starring John Arcilla, Arron Villaflor, Paulo Avelino, Mon Confiado, Leo Martinez, and many more. I was amazed and became interested in the movie when they present the movie trailer because it is full of actions. I felt excitement when John Arcilla is in the forum and joined the discussion. John Arcilla, known as Daddy Ninong in the teleserye Oh My G, plays the role of Heneral Luna so it is very exciting that he joined the discussion. The seminar end by answering the questions of the students. I really enjoyed the seminar.


The seminar is about heroism, and the first question that came to my mind is " what is a hero? " then I listen carefully to the speakers on what is the real meaning of hero. Based on what I've heard in the seminar, a hero is the one who protects you, fight for your rights, love you, care for you, and help you. Now, I've realized that there are so many heroes that I encounter everyday because before, when you say the word " hero " the first persons that come to my mind is our past heroes like Lapu -Lapu, Jose Rizal, Andres Bonifacio, Antonio Luna, and many more. These heroes that I encounter everyday is my family, friends, classmates, and teachers.

What I've learned from the seminar is to value our history and heroes. Heroes are the one who fights for our rights and fights for our freedom. We experience freedom today because of them. We can do whatever we want because of them. The best thing that we can do to thank them is to appreciate them. Without them, I cannot write this blog.

8 - Fun + Boring = SOCSIT Week

"SOCSIT Week"



     Its my first time to experience the Socsit week, started on July 28 and ended on July 31, I felt happy and boredom. I felt happy because it's a week for us to relax, enjoy, and showcase our talents. Cheering for your blockmates competing in sports is very enjoying. Showcasing your talent in the event of Socsit week " 30 seconds of fame or shame " is one of the moments that I will never forget. Watching the Socsit Pageant is very fun although we went home late at that night. I've enjoyed the Socsit week but there is some point where I got bored. The opening ceremony of the Socsit week was boring for me because we just marched around the parking lot. However, the part where the contestants of the Socsit Pageant  was introduced and the intermission number of the APC Dance Company was fun. When there is a time that we have no activities, we are required to go our classes so it's a kind of annoying for me. After the games and activities, we are in our room or in the cafeteria doing nothing so it's boring. Lastly, the Socsit night was very boring!!!
I go through a heavy traffic and I just experience a boring party. After the Socsit night, we have to survive again a heavy traffic and it's late in the evening. So in short, I just wasted my effort in going to school.


     Cheering for our blockmates is very fun. The first game of our volleyball team was on monday, July 27. It was very fun because it's my first time to see my blockmates to play volleyball. The game was exciting and enjoyable. Guess what? our volleyball team won the first game, yeah!!! Next is our basketball team,  their game was on Wednesday, July 29. Guess what again? they also win the basketball game, yeah!!!


     "30 Seconds of fame or shame" is the most memorable event in the Socsit week for me. This is the event where all of the Socsit students showcase their talents. Me as a Socsit student, of course have to showcase my talent too,  I showcase my talent by singing and dancing the song " Ako ay may lobo ".

7 - A Trip Filled with Happiness

"Describe an unforgettable experience"

    Every school year, students are always excited for their fieldtrip.  One of the best fieldtrip I had experience was when I was in my third-year high school. It was a happy and great experience. We got to bond with each other together with our teachers. We went to visit San Pablo City in Laguna where the seven lakes are located. It was my first time to visit this place and I was so excited. The trip may be a bit long coming from Manila, but it was really worth it!

     I couldn’t wait to reach school as we were leaving early in the morning. Everybody came early, too. It was from first-year to fourth-year students. There were several busses parked at the gate of our school. When everybody was complete and boarded in our bus, we began to travel. As soon as the bus reached the place, we were off to our first destination, which is to visit the museum. After a few hours, we started to visit the different lakes. The weather then was quite dark when we went to the lake. Everybody was very careful since it becomes a bit slippery when it rains. But who cares, we want to enjoy this kind of experience in our life! Lake Pandin is the best among all the lakes. This is where we stay the longest, experiencing the bamboo rafting. It was a great experience of riding the bamboo raft in the company of my classmates. It was a breathtaking experience riding the balsa, but it was an enjoyable one. We enjoyed seeing the view while sitting on the bamboo raft. The place is very calm and refreshing. The water was cool and relaxing, it’s really perfect!

     The other lakes are Lake Sampaloc, among the seven lakes this is the biggest but also the dirtiest. The Lake Bunot, Lake Kalibato, Lake Palakpakin, Mohikap Lake and Lake Yambo, the twin lake of Lake Pandin. We had a great time throughout the fieldtrip despite the rains that fell from time to time. In addition, we created good memories, explored to new experience and learned new things outside of the classrooms. It was really a great adventure!

6 - Eat! Eat! Eat!

"What is your favorite restaurant?"

     My family always liked going out to eat, especially when there is a special occasion to celebrate. Everyone has a favorite restaurant that they love to eat at. When I was a child, I still remember that my mom and dad always brought us to their favorite restaurant, now also my favorite, which is the Max’s Restaurant! It is very popular and it became known as “the house that fried chicken built.” This is a perfect place for every family to get together. This restaurant is memorable to my parents because during their wedding, twenty-four years ago, the reception was held at Max’s Restaurant, in Baclaran. That’s why my parents have lots of memories to this restaurant.


     Max’s Restaurant is my favorite restaurant to dine in because it has everything I love. It offers a wide variety of Filipino foods to pick from. For me, the best and delicious food I usually order at Max’s Restaurant is their very famous and well known fried chicken, which everyone loves. It’s sarap to the bones! as their commercial goes.  The taste is unique and no other restaurant has the same flavor. Besides their fried chicken, I also love their chicken sisig. I will recommend you to taste it, it’s the best sisig I’ve ever tasted! These two dishes are my favorite. I’m not saying that other items in the menu are not as great, it’s just that I rarely order anything else when I go to Max’s Restaurant. I’m just happy and satisfied with the fried chicken and the chicken sisig.

     Not only that I like their foods, but the service is also good. The waiters and other staffs are friendly and welcoming that makes me feel relaxed. The restaurant is clean and with warm appearance.  As I have noticed, they take immediate action on a customer request or even complaint. The prices of their foods are reasonable and the foods are served quickly and still hot as opposed to some other restaurants where you will have to wait for a long time for your foods to appear on your table. In short, this is really a nice restaurant to go and to enjoy their delicious meals. So, what are you waiting for? Rush to your nearest Max’s Restaurant today.

5 - Life Goals

"Ten years from today..."

     Who am I ten years from now? What will I become ten years from now? Of course, it is not easy to imagine myself ten years from now. Nobody can predict one’s future and no one exactly can tell what will be our life ten years from now. However, I have come to realize that to get somewhere in life, I have to make dreams and goals in life and determine to fulfill these in the future. Believing that if you dream, you must dream big and make it happen.

     The School has been an important goal in my life. That’s why, my first goal in life is to finish my degree. Having a degree is a step to fulfill your success in life. After I finished college, my main goal was to find a stable job related to my course. Nowadays, and in the near future, Information Technology is very strong and many companies pay much more for skills that are in demand, that’s why I choose this course. I want to be the best asset in the company where I would work and to excel in every project I will be involved.


      One of my dreams is to travel all over the world. I want to see the beauty of the other countries and to meet other people. I want to seek a job abroad, with of course the best salary. If I have saved enough money, I will give my family a comfortable life. I want my family to be happy. They inspire me to reach all my goals in life. I truly believe that I can acquire my goals and dreams by working hard and putting the best effort.  At heart, I still want to settle and work here in our country. There’s no place like home. I still believe that true happiness can be found here in our country, where I was born. After all, life is not about the materials things, but it is all about happiness and to be happy. I know that I can’t do anything alone. I need the guidance of my parents. Believing and trusting in GOD is the most important. GOD has his best plans for my future.       

4 - Confined

"Write about an experience in a hospital"
                                                          
     Being admitted to the hospital is hopefully something we will never have to experience. But there is a point in our lives that we can’t avoid it. Just like me, never in my thought that I would be admitted at the hospital. I was then in my first-year high school, it started with a fever. After a few days, I felt something painful in my neck and in my cheek near my right ear. My mom brought me to the clinic near in our place and the doctor told us that it was a mumps. So I was advice to take a medicine and need to rest. After three days, it was still painful and I felt it was getting worst! I can’t open my mouth anymore. I can’t swallow solid foods and lost my appetite. I only take liquids. Ouch! It’s really painful and I started to cry. My mom was so worried and decided to bring me to San Juan De Dios Hospital in Pasay City. My mom and I went to emergency room. The nurses had conducted the initial evaluation, facilitated my admission and put dextrose on me. On that day I was admitted, Dra. Andong is my attending physician, a pediatrician and also a child neurology. She had advice the nurse to give me a pain reliever to lessen the pain. Next, I was brought to the laboratory room for the x-rays, blood tests, and other laboratory examinations. The one that really scared me was when the nurse took blood on my arms about half of the test tube. I almost wanted to scream. Thanks to my mom for comforting me. When the doctor finished all the laboratories and tests, no other findings are found but only my neck is swollen. My doctor gave me some antibiotics to take. She also advises my mom to put a warm towel to the affected and painful area to reduce the pain and swelling.

     After a week of staying at the hospital, I’m already fine and made a lot of progress. My doctor assured my mom that nothing to worry and we’re advised to be discharged. My mom and I were then so happy. I would like to thank Dra. Andong and the nurses, who provided the medical services I needed for my immediate recovery. I was so fortunate to have been attended by the best medical team. They had been so compassionate and well mannered and had provided me the best possible care that eased my condition during the duration of my confinement.


     Thank you also to my teacher, for being so understanding and took a time to visit me together with my classmates. They brought fruits for me. Most especially to my mom and my two sisters, thank you so much for being so patient. They did not leave me during my hardest time and always on my side. To my dad, even though that he was then in Dubai, he always calls to check if I’m okay. 

3 - Strike

"What is your favorite sport?"

     If you ask me which is my favorite sport? Then let me let you know that my favorite sport is bowling. To inform you about bowling, it is a popular sport in which players attempt to score points by rolling a bowling ball along a flat surface in order to knock down the pins. All bowlers are required to wear special bowling shoes. It is also a form of exercise. Sometimes people bowl to relieve stress. But there’s one thing we all agree that bowling is a great way to spend time with your dad and also with your friends. I really enjoyed it because I love the speed, excitement and fun while playing!

     I really love playing bowling since I was in my grade school. My dad started me on it. As I remembered, my dad always brought me every time he plays bowling at SM Megamall and Mall of Asia. At my early age, he taught me to play bowling. My dad really inspires me to love this game. He has a lot of trophy and medals displayed at home for winning the championship in bowling at their company.

     At first, I have missed all my throws and it is always go to the canal. Argh! When will be my first strike! I felt so disappointed! My dad always told me that bowling requires skill and discipline. It is not just about throwing the ball. He told me that I have to know where to stand. I must have to develop a standard approach with which I am comfortable. With my determination to learn, at last! I had my first strike. My dad and I were very happy and excited. Since then, I was forever hooked in playing bowling. Now, I can determine how the pins will play off one another during a spare or split. I can now learn how to identify lane condition. I am now the one asking my dad to play bowling during his day off. We always play bowling at Mall of Asia. Every game is worth 170 pesos, and the bowling shoes is 60 pesos. My bowling ball weight 7 pounds. This is always a bonding moment with my dad. The more I bowl, the better I get. Yes! Another strike, I did it again. I always loved bowling! I just have fun.       

2 - The Chef

"Describe a family member"
   
  Cooking is a loved thing in my family. Every member of the family loves and enjoys eating. Anyway, who is not fond of eating? You can’t have food without a chef. That’s where my dad comes in… He is the chef not only in our family but also to others. He has been a chef for almost twenty- one years. My dad had worked in Oman for four years, in Saudi Arabia for two years and almost ten years in Dubai. Last January 2013, he decided to stay here in our country for good. He is now working as a Chef de Partie at Solaire Resort and Casino located near Mall of Asia in Pasay City. Solaire Resort and Casino is the ultimate integrated resort in the Philippines and one of the world’s greatest as well! He can make Western cuisine, Asian cuisine, Oriental cuisine and Japanese cuisine. He likes cooking so much. He always makes something special in our dining room during his day off. It is really delicious! Anything you want he can make it!

     Being a chef is not an easy career. It is a very tough job. My dad is a very hardworking man. He had to work in the heat of the kitchen for many hours, but I didn’t hear him complaining because I know that cooking is his passion. Actually, he did not study culinary arts, only he have is an experience. No theories, no formula, no recipe, no matter how well written, can take the place of experience.

     He decided to stay here for good. We convinced him to stay here with us. So many years that we’re apart and it was really a sacrifice from all of us. All he wants is all of us his children to go to college and finish our studies. Now that my two older sisters had graduated from college and now they have their own job, my dad was convinced to stay here with us. I promise him that I want to succeed not just for myself but also for him. I want to finish my college for my future and for my family.


     Did you know the person in my life that makes me, my two sisters and my mom smile? That one lucky guy is my dad! He is not only an excellent cook but also he makes time to keep us happy and feeling loved. My dad is funny too especially when he cracked jokes, but sometimes his jokes were corny. That’s why our life is full of joy and laughter when he is around. He is a special dad because he is a cool dad. For me, he is the best father and chef in the world!

1 - It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

"What is your favorite time of year?"

     It’s fun! Summer celebration to all! Summer is the most exciting and perfect event for the whole year to spend for our family and friends. This season is the time to relax, a time of simple pleasures and excitement. Yes! Forget everything about school life, like home works, examinations and quizzes, the pressure of the deadline of school projects, and the waking up early in the morning for us not to be late in school. Our studies eat much of our time. This is it! Just have fun and enjoy! Two months of late night sleep chatting with my friends and late waking up. This is the happiest period in a student’s life, like me.

     Looking back last summer 2015, it was a great summer for me. I’ll never forget the seemingly endless summer experienced. My last summer of high school has started then, and soon I will be a freshman in college. My high school classmates and I had the same thoughts that this was our last summer together before we went to college. We have to face the reality of life, that we will have our college life separately. We decided to have swimming at Villa Salud located in Lower Bicutan. Everybody agree to join. Unfortunately, not all of them came because their parents did not allow them, how sad… but all that joined the swimming really had fun and everybody was enjoying the moment. The bonding moments that we had expressed that we will soon miss each other. Delicious foods were prepared such as grilled pork and fish, spaghetti, different kinds of fruits and drinks were served. The atmosphere was amazing, we felt as if we were in heaven because of the happiness we were then experiencing. We were fully relaxed. Total relaxation and quality time with my classmates were enjoyed. The short bonding with them during the summer vacation was a happy experienced for us and its memory was still fresh in our minds. Time rolled on and the night approached when we had to leave the place.

     There seems never to be enough time to enjoy during summer, all the simple things in life. Hanging out at the mall with my friends. Watching movies and eating at my favorite restaurant with my family. Enjoying the delicious and pleasant taste of my favorite food, which is chicken sisig at Max’s Restaurant. This also makes me happy and really completes my day.

     Every nice thing and memorable moments have its end. Summer vacation also has its end and I have to face the new adventure of my life, the college life. Until next summer, hoping to have more fun and happiness. I’m sure every student agrees that the best part of school is the summer vacation!
