16. Blackberry smartphone

Almost 1 year ago, I am thinking of what cellphone to buy. I searched in the internet and found out the Blackberry phones. Blackberry is not yet common during those days so I decided to buy that kind of phone. The unit of my Blackberry is the Torch 9810. So why did I chose this kind of phone except the fact that it is not yet common during that time?

My father bought this phone of mine in Saudi Arabia because it is said that gadgets at Saudi is cheaper than gadgets here in the Philippines. I consider my phone to be important to me because I'm using it everyday. It helps me to manage my time and schedule. Using this kind of phone gives a lot of advantages for me. My phone have an application called the Blackberry Messenger wherein I can chat and make a call with other Blackberry users for free. The camera of my phone is clear. It contains applications like twitter, facebook, youtube and many more such as games where you can download in the Blackberry App World. My phone also serves as my music player. Whenever I'm in the bus I always listen to it by using my earphones. I don't know what to do if I'd lost my phone. I got used of using it since the day that I had it.

Having a mobile phone means that you are in style. That's what technology is for people right now. Blackberry is a unique phone that gives many advantages for its users. I'll make sure that I'll take care of it and won't lose it.

15. Photography

Our nature is one of the most beautiful things I've seen in my life. Every time I see sunset or even beautiful clouds of scenery, I always take a photo of it. Pictures are the ones who give remembrance to the memorable events in our life. For example, A birthday party or a concert. So why do I love taking pictures?

Recently, I got my DSLR camera which is the Nikon D3100. Since then, I started taking a lot of pictures especially when I'm with my cousins. Photography is one of my passion. I love taking pictures simply because I find things great and awesome. Little things matters even it's just a single petal of flower as long as I find it beautiful. I show my creativity through capturing photos. In a memorable event, I'm also fond of taking pictures to capture the moments that are shared with each person. If you want to browse some of the memories from the past, you can just take a look at the pictures captured from it. As a freelance photographer, I'd like to travel to places like Paris, Japan, Palawan, Ilocos and many more. I just love the feeling that there would be a lot of photos when I go to those places.

Sometimes seeing pictures of the one you love makes you smile. Isn't it? That's what I like in taking pictures. Photography really matters and it's great to know that it's still improving as time goes by. If you don't appreciate things easily, you cannot be a photographer. 

14. Korean Pop Music

What type of music do you prefer? Well me, I prefer OPM songs and KPOP songs. My question is, how is a kpop song became famous around the world? Just like Psy's Gangnam Style. Even Americans dances it too even if they don't understand it's lyrics. Honestly, I myself too like kpop. Why do I like them?

I am a die hard fan of bigbang and 2ne1. Those two groups are part of the Korean pop music. I don't know what made me addicted to them. All I know is their songs are amazing even though I don't understand the lyrics. Big Bang is formed of 5 members namely G-Dragon, TOP, Taeyang, Daesung, and Seungri. Those boys are really stunning! They can perform amazingly on stage during their concerts because I always watch some of the videos from their concerts. Another korean pop music group is the 2NE1 (to anyone). Their group is made of four beautiful ladies namely CL, Park Bom, Sandara Park, and Minzy. Hey also have songs that makes me sing even though I don't say the words correctly. These two groups mean a lot to me. I adore them and their songs because they're both awesome.

Listening to kpop is not bad. Others say it is because it sounds corny or jeje but for me it's not. They do not know how to appreciate music. What's important about a song is to enjoy it even if it doesn't have lyrics or you don't understand its lyrics.

13. Japanese and korean drama/movie

Why is Korean/Japanese drama and movie is too mainstream? For me, they really have good stories in which the viewers are drawn to. What are some of the shows that I was addicted to? There are so many to mention but I'll tell you some of the drama/movie that I watched.

(Koizora The Movie - Japanese)

(My girlfriend is a gumiho - Korean Drama)

(City Hunter - Korean Drama)

Actually, I'm really not interested in watching there kind of shows until one day I watched the Japanese movie entitled "Koizora". It made me cry even if the movie doesn't have subtitles. It was 5 years ago and when I watched the update of the movie with subtitles, it made me cry even more. Next is a Korean drama entitled "My girlfriend is a gumiho". The story of this drama runs with a weird girl which is a fox and at the same time, a human. I find it interesting because the boy fell in love unexpectedly with the girl that he's annoyed at in the first place. And the last but not the least is another Korean drama entitled "City Hunter". City Hunter is starring the famous Korean actor named Lee Min Ho. He's so handsome! Lol. But seriously, I do love this drama so much because of it's great story plot. He was a spy and detective and at the same time, a lover of a girl that he's been protecting all the time.

Japanese and Korean dramas/movies are famous because they really have a good story plots that pulls out the emotion of the one who's watching. It's not boring but it's interesting and addictive. Until now I'm watching those kind of shows because I already became a fan of it. Most of the Korean/Japanese drama/movie that  I have watched was a Romance. It is one of the reasons why people tend to watch this kind of shows. So if you don't experience yet watching those shows, try to watch and I'm sure you'll not regret it.

12. When I was a child

Do you know that feeling when you just want to be a child again to escape all the stress that you're having in your life right now? Most of the time I'm like that. All I want is to be happy, no stress, no problems. But as time pass by, we can't be relax and chill. We have some things to do or the things that we're obliged to do. And because of that, all I can do is just reminisce of my childhood memories.

Since high school started, my whole life changed. I experienced having failing grades, and even bad grade in my conduct. Others said that I am influenced by other persons but for me, I myself was the one who's wrong for letting myself do things that are not good. When I was a child, all I do is to play with my cousins. I'm expressive when it comes to my emotions, now I'm not. Whenever we go to malls, I always want to play in a kiddie arcade or sometimes go to rides. I'm not stressed because all I think about is to play and school works are not hard during that time compared to now. I miss those times where I'm not stressed as I am now. If only I could turn back time, I would definitely do it. And I'm always wondering, if I could go back to the times where I'm still a child, what would I change to make my life better as what I have now? Isn't it interesting?

Now that I'm a teenager, I realized that there are many things in life that a child doesn't know. Even the simplest things like how to solve an algebraic equation. The hardest part is the managing of time, it's hard and that's what I'm experiencing right now. I'm hoping that all my stress will vanish and just become a child again so I could enjoy life and replace all the mistakes that I've done into things that are good. To all the kids out there, don't waste your time because one day, you'll know how I feel today and wish too about becoming a child again.

11. First debut of a friend that I attented

Normally, girls who are in the age of 18 are the ones who celebrates debut. Well not all but majority are. They say that having a debut is so expensive but it's worth it because of the memories that will be remembered. Family and friends will be the ones to celebrate it with. So until now I'm thinking if I'm going to celebrate a debut on my 18th birthday.

Last April 6, 2013, my close friend celebrated her 18th birthday celebration. I saw how her family loves her so much and that made me happy. I saw how happy she was when I saw her smile. This was unforgettable day for me because we got a chance to be together again. Precious memories were made. High school friends are really the best pals that I can be with. The programme started late but still, it was fun. Ysabel(the debutante) had her 18 spartans, 18 memories, 18 shots, 18 sparkles and 18 treasures. She danced the poi dance and it was fantastic! I'm sure her parents are proud of her. I know that for Ysabel, that night will remain unforgettable until the res of her life.

So as I think about having a debut or not, this event made me think of it even more. I felt like celebrating a debut too. How I wish we can manage the expenses that we'll have if I'm going to celebrate one. For me, debut celebrations can also serve as a reunion for me and my high school friends that's why it's unforgettable and memorable.

10. Basketball!

What sport do I love most? For now, other people might be surprised if they'll knew about it. Well, it is the sport called, basketball. Basketball became a big part of my life especially during my grade school days and high school days. It may be not obvious that I love playing it but I really miss playing basketball.

(me with my team mate during highschool, at brent international school)

When I was a kid around the age of 7, I started to love basketball. Every afternoon I always play it and I don't even mind if the weather is too hot or the sun is too sunny. I wanted to join a varsity team of basketball girls but during that time there is no grade school basketball team for girls so instead of joining basketball I joined athletics. As time pass by, I am improving my skills in basketball. My playmates were my cousins, neighbors, and sometimes my classmates. I'm also fond of playing NBA games in my playstation 1. During my high school days, I always play as part of the team during intramurals. My first time playing in our gym was unforgettable. Our opponent were the higher batches and I'm still a freshman during that day. Do you know the feeling when you shoot the ball then everyone cheers for you? It feels great! I became a part of the varsity from 2nd year up to 3rd year, but suddenly I stopped playing basketball because I'm too busy for my schoolworks. I wish I could start playing again because I miss playing basketball.

It's fun to play basketball but I suddenly need to stop. It may be hard for me but even though I stop playing it, my feelings for this sport didn't changed. Until now, I do love basketball. Every experience  I had are memorable and I can say that I'm lucky because not all girls are given the talents to play this kind of sport. If the boys think that there are the ones who's only superior when it comes to this game, I'll prove them wrong.

9. Daydream as stress reliever

Life is at its best when you don't encounter problems

Unfortunately, we can't runaway from those hardships

Every night before I sleep

In a room where silence is so deep

I stare at my room's ceiling

and daydream while lying on my bed

I always think of what ifs

What if I have lots of money?
What if I'm already working today?

I want the stress that I'm feeling to go away

School works may be rough

but I'll surely do it cause I'm tough

I daydream to see the great elegance

of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France

I'd love to have a big house

Together with my loving spouse

To have my own family and live happily

Go to the outer space and see the stars at night

that shines so bright

Daydreams are impossible as it seems

But I pray for the help of God

for sometimes I can be odd

If ever these dreams do happen

even though it's all of a sudden

I know it would make me happy, and remove the stress within me

8. Sword Art Online

Sword Art Online (SAO) is the best anime I've seen so far. I think I'm addicted to this anime because of the scenes that was shown. My feelings are dragged into the happenings in this anime. The main characters of this Anime are Kirito and Asuna. They are the ones who made me love this anime and watch it whenever there is a new episode release. 

What is awesome about SAO? The awesome thing is they live in a world named Aincard which is a virtual world. They're trapped into that world and in order for them to go back to the real world is to clear the game. They have to kill the boss of the 100 floors in Aincard. When you're going to die in the game, it means that you're going to die in the real world. Which means that survival must be their top priority. As the time passes by, Kirito and Asuna fell in love with each other. That what made me love this anime even more. I can feel the love between them. Season one of SAO ended and is followed by its season two. In the season two, the game was called Alfheim Online (ALO). In this game, Asuna was captured by King Oberion (The creator of ALO). In order to save Asuna and return to the real world, she must be logged out in the game. Kirito never gave up on Asuna until he reached the top of the world tree. The world tree is a place where players cannot go in, but with Kirito's determination, he rescued Asuna and killed King Oberion. He went back to the real world together with Asuna. As soon as he arrived in the real world, he rushed into the hospital where Asuna is. Then they finally met each other personally and there ends the season two of SAO which is ALO.

This anime taught me some things such as you'd rather trust than regret. I won't forget this anime and I've always wanted to watch it all over again. Sword Art Online became one of the biggest hits anime in history.

7. Nightmares and False awakening or dreamception

There are dreams that are fun to remember, but there are also dreams that you don't want to remember anymore.  Just like nightmares, have you experienced having them? If you haven't experience it, don't even wish to experience having it.

I experienced a lot of nightmares already. In tagalog we call it as "bangungot". I do really have weird dreams but most of it are nightmares. There are scenes that I am chased by someone, a killer or sometimes, a ghost. Those dreams are really terrible but one thing about myself is I don't get any adrenaline rush whenever I wake up with that kind of dream.   Sometimes, I experience having dreamception or the so called "False Awakening". I had a nightmare which I saw a lady walking in front of us while I'm in a car with my friends. The surrounding is so dark and creepy. I told my friend that there is a lady walking towards us. I said "Tol tignan mo oh may babae nakaputi" then she replied "ha? saan?" then I was like.. Omg am I the only one who sees the lady? After that scene, I forcved myself to wake up and I have my heavy eyes because I'm so sleepy that time. When I opened my eyes, I looked on my phone then I called someone. I told her about what happened in my dream. My position on bed while talking to my friend is like I'm a fetus with blanket all over my body. After that, I can't remember anything but on the time I woke up. I don't have any blanket with me and then I checked the call log of my cellphone if there was a called occurred during midnight. Unfortunately, there is no call recorded during midnight. Then I realized, I woke up inside my dream thinking that I really woke up during that time. I was trolled by my own dream. Lol. But seriously, I got scared and I started to became curious again regarding my dreams.

I searched some of the things related to my dreams like "dreamception" and other things. It is stated there that dreamception can be a pre-lucid dream. I am really curous about having a lucid dream. Sometimes I think to try it but it's a sort of scary and risky. 

6. Awesomeness of my childhood days

Way back 8 years ago, I used to play Play Station. It's not really about 8 years ago but I can remember that there is a game which I became addicted with it. This game is a horror suspense game or a so called Zombie Apocalypse. I don't know why I got addicted to this game even if I'm a child during those days.

Resident Evil 2 have 2 discs.In disc 1 you're going to use the character named Leon. Leon is a new hired cop by the RPD (Racoon Police Department - a police station in Racoon City).Unfortunately, when he arrived in the Racoon City. He felt a creepy environment by the things that surrounds him. Until he found out that the city was entirely devastated by zombies. Then Leon met a girl named Claire. And now let me tell you who Claire is, she is the character that you'll use for the disc 2 of Resident Evil 2. She went to Racoon City to find his brother, Chris Redfield. She even didn't know that Racoon city turned into a miserable place. She just knew it when she met Leon. So the goal of the player who plays this game is to overcome the zombies and escape Racoon city. The other game is the Resident Evil 3. It is a third part of the Resident Evil 2. The player you'll be using is Jill Valentine. She is a member of the STARS in the RPD.  She is a survivor in the Resident Evil 1, together with Chris Redfield. The two seasons of game has its same goal, to escape and survive the zombie apocalypse. 

I really like this game because it is full of excitement and thrill. I'm not bored whenever I play this. I usually play this alone or sometimes with my childhood friends, cousins, and the boyfriend of my sister during those days. I still have these CD's and I miss playing this game. 

5. Since childhood until today

When I was a kid, I have lots of toys and I always go outside our house to play with other kids. I'm always with them and sometimes I don't event want to go home. So those kids I'm referring yo are my cousins. They're big part in my life since childhood. Do you wonder why?

I can say that without my cousins, my childhood days won't be that happy. Everyday we play with each other. I miss those times because today, we only get along for about five times in a month. Or when there's a family gathering. Like what I've said before, we always play when we're still kids. But now, since we're teenagers, we drink alcoholic drinks occasionally. Those nights were unforgettable. We had a chance to talk without our parents and express our feelings about our family. Sometimes we tend to sing on a videoke while celebrating birthday's of family members. Those happy moments are just samples of how we get along and make happy memories with each other.

It's amazing how we grew up together and we're still close to one another. I know that we'll never have a distance in our hearts, even if some of us are far away from where I am now.

4. A dreamer from reality

Life is at its best when you don't encounter problems. Unfortunately, we can't runaway from out hardships in life. As a normal human being, I honestly want more things in my life. Things that are impossible to happen and can only occur in my mind. Some may be possible but I had to go through many things and pursue to achieve them.

Every night before I sleep, I always keep on thinking of what ifs. What if I have a lots of money? What if I'm already working right now? Well, I want to travel to different places like Japan, Europe (especially France), and America. I'd love to see the amazing Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. I always wanted to visit that place because I think it's cool. In my near future, I want to have a big house. A house that would turn into a home with my own family. Another thing that also comes into my mind is; What if the person I like, likes me too? Is it possible? Anyway, it only occurs in my mind, not in reality. Besides those things I want to have, there is another thing that I always wanted to experience. That wonderful experience would be me, witnessing a live concert of the bands namely Maroon 5, BigBang, 2NE1, and Own City. They completely inspires me with their songs. They entertain me a lot and make me love them even more as the time goes by.

I can't imagine how happy I am if those daydreams will happen in reality. Even though I don't have a chance to achieve some of my dreams, I'm hoping that some of them is going to happen. Daydreaming doesn't mean that I'm not contented with what I have as of today. It only means that there are things that would make me happier if I had a chance to let those things happen.

3. Future Diary

Ten years from now would be 2023. Do you think earth can still make it up on that year? If yes, I'm curious about what would happen. Not only in my life but also in our society. Will it be worse than what's happening today? Or will it be a newly improved society?

Seventeen years of living in this world is still now long. But within those 17 years of mine, a lot changed. What if I turn up 27 years old? First of all, I want to have a good life. A successful college graduate with a job related to my course AB Multimedia Arts.Maybe ten years from now. I will be having my own family. A nice husband with a job, and I want to have three kids. I don't know why but I find it cute when there's three of them. Some may die within those 10 years but I hope they won't. On my opinion, ten years from now, Philippines won't improve it's economy. Number one reason is the government. As of today, some of the politicians are criminals. Criminal by means of stealing money from their citizens. Ten years from now, a lot of invention would be created. Mobile phones such as Samsung, Apple, Blackberry, Nokia, etc would upgrade their products and make more money out of it, right?

I'm still curious of what might happen and when this world would end. I pray to God that after ten years, everything in this world will be alright. Life is tough but we're tough enough to fight because God is always with us.

2. Nocturnal

Every vacation, I spend my time with things I can't control myself from doing it. I often stay up late until morning then I'll wake up around sunset  It's weird isn't it? I'm really having a had time to get back my normal body clock. How am I going to change that?

My life during vacation is weird, simple because I'm nocturnal. I normally sleep in the morning until afternoon and I'm awake in the evening up to midnight. I have my best friend staying up late with me. That best friend of mine is my computer. After waking up, I go to shower then after that, I immediately start up my computer and I'll use it until I feel sleepy again. That's one of my problem, addiction to internet. I watch movies online or sometimes play online games like Audition PH and Dragon Nest. I'm easily addicted to those games, it makes me eat my food in front of my computer instead of eating it on our dining table. Facebook is also one reason of why I'm sleeping late, I chat with my friends and tell stories that would likely prolong for about an hour or more. My latest hour of the day that I stayed up late was at 9:00AM. But normally, I sleep at midnight and wake up at an estimated time of 3:00PM.

Since I'm having a hard time to motivate my sleeping hours, I am now trying to sleep early to change my body clock. I sleep around 10:00PM and wake up around 4:30AM because my classes usually starts at 7:30AM. For now, I feel that I'm getting some improvements in motivating myself and I hope that this would continue until I get used to it.

1. Meeting happiness with them

You don’t need too many people to be happy. Just a few real ones who appreciate you for who you are. I have known many people since grade school until now but I can say that Sisteritas is way far than the others. How can I say that? Who are they in my life? Why are they important to me?

When I was in grade school and first year high school, I met my awesome friends. We named our group "Sisteritas" since we're all girls in our group. It actually came from a movie called "Sisterhoods of the traveling pants". My awesome friends are Iza, Josaine, Jazmyn, Ysabel, Charm, Hazel, Kathleen, Gianne, Marigold, Arian, Nikki, and Andrea (not in the pic). We've known each other for almost 6 years and I can say that I was happiest when I'm with them. I stick to them during my dark days, talk to them about my problem and they'll probably do something to cheer me up. In my family, I'm a shy person and I cannot talk to them about my personal life that's why I only share it with my friends. In high school, when one of us gets bullied by another,  all of us were already involved in that fight. I mean, we don't want anyone of us to be bullied or to be in a fight so we protect each other and fight for one another. I had a lot of memories with them and I cannot forget it because I treasure all of those moments. Well I experienced having a fight with them, but in the end we're still the ones who's together. Since we're all college students now, almost all of us are busy because of school works and we study in different schools that's why we can't see each other often. But what's good about it is we still find ways to gather ourselves and spend time with each other. And when that happens, I assure that I'll definitely laugh out loud! Those girls are crazy and I feel like I can be only that happy when we're together.

I'm lucky to have them simply because I feel comfortable when I'm with them. They're the ones who saw the changes in me since grade school. I consider these girls as a blessing from God. I can't imagine my life without them, maybe I wouldn't be this happy if I hadn't met them, I love them this much! No matter what happen, we are one. Even if we'll have our children and husband in the future, we're still together. We promised that one to each other and we're definitely complacent about it.
