       Every students need to rest. That is the reason why they have summer vacation. They were given almost three months vacation which are March, April, and May. They need to bond with their families, have fun, and play.

        I beg to disagree the transferring of classes on September to May because the students will not enjoy their vacation if the weather is not good. How would they swim on the beach and have fun under the sun if there is a typhoon? I think that they would not enjoy their vacation because they will just stay at their house. Waiting for the announcement of PAGASA. Or else, they will just do a daily routine like using Facebook, eating, then sleeping. They will just do that repeatedly. We know that it is not healthy because during the vacation time, the students participate in sports league. But during rainy days, they cannot participate due to the bad weather. Another one is the Holy Week and the fiestas in May will be affected. If this will push through, I think that the DepEd will tell the students that they will have classes on Saturdays. As an effect, the students will feel tired and they will be sick.

        I hope that the DepED will not push through the opening of classes on September to May. I am already contented in the months of classes. I enjoy it and I am having fun. I just hope that the typhoon will not be that strong anymore because I want to learn many things from school.

           A fear is a feeling of anxiety caused by the presence of danger, evil, pain, and terror. We all know that everyone of us have our own fear. There are many kinds of fear. Examples are; fear of heights, insects, water, fire, ghosts, and many more. Fear is caused by a bad experience. Its effect is to let the person experience a phobia. A phobia is a type of disorder defined as a persistent fear of an object in which the sufferer is  avoiding the fear. It cannot be avoided entirely, as the sufferer will resist the object with marked distress.

          I've never been as scared as I was when I am about to sleep after watching the horror movie named "The Grudge". There was that girl named Sadako that has a very long hair and crawling towards the protagonist in the movie. I was about to sleep that time. The lights were all off and I am at the middle of the bed with my brothers at my side. I woke up in the middle of the night and I think that my blanket is moving downward. I think it has been pulled, but when I look to my front, there's no one pulling my blanket. I just say to may mind that it is only my imagination. At that time, my sweat is running out of my body. I think it was a "major major" sweating. Then after that, I cried softly and my whole body is feeling shaky because I heard footsteps coming near me. I tried to close my eyes so that I will not see it. But when I opened my eyes, I saw my aunt walking towards the comfort room. I felt relief because I knew from that time that it is not a ghost. From then on, I am always sleeping with my door open if I am alone. I am afraid of the dark because I often open my lampshade so it is still bright. I am really afraid of it because at the front of our house lies a broad cemetery. I always here a unique sound that made me nervous. But when look to the window, it is a goat. I always go to my mother to ask advise when I am afraid. She always say that I should just pray the souls in Purgatory and think positive.

      Another story that I have been scared is when I am in the bathroom when a cockroach went to my foot. I think I was six years old when this embarrassing moment happened to me. I was about to get the shampoo when a cockroach go to my foot. I shouted and cried immediately. I called my father and he killed the cockroach using his slippers. I felt relief when he killed the cockroach. After that, two cockroaches went again to my foot. I didn't stop crying anymore. From then on, I poured the pH care to the cockroach. I think it was poisoned so it died. But my mother became angry to me because I wasted the pH care just to kill that bad cockroach. From then on, I did not touch a cockroach toy.  Even spiders and big ants. I am afraid of them. It trembles me and makes me feel shaky all over my body.

      A friend is someone who one knows, likes, and trusts. I am afraid to lose a friend. I have been scared when my best friend named Jairah went apart from me. It was the end of second year when all the students were distributed to different sections in third year. I was shocked when I saw that my best friend is on hydrogen while I am on the oxygen section. I cried that time because I am afraid to lose her. We promised to be best friends forever 'till the end of time. I am thinking that she might have a new best friend in her section. I really love my friends because I am not comfortable when one of my friend is angry to me.

      I am also afraid of heights. I think I inherit it from my father. Whenever I look into a cliff, I feel nervous, shaky, and cold. I become pale and not comfortable. I can't even cross the hanging bridge. I need the company of my father before I cross a hanging bridge. If my father is not there, I can't cross the hanging bridge. There is a time when I am crossing a hanging bridge and I am with my father. The children were jumping in the bridge causing the bridge to shake and move. I shouted at them and said not to jump. Me and my father just rode a tricycle because we are both afraid.

     Ghosts, dark, heights, insects and losing friends are some of the things that I am scared about.  Some of the people say that we should face our fear so that we will be brave and strong. I hope that I can face my fear
someday.

 

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday........... Oh yeah! Friday! That's my favorite day of the week. Especially this week. The teachers announced that there will be no classes. My classmates were all very happy, except me. You know why? Because I spent my Thursday night working for the Home Reading Report. I think I already slept 1:00 a.m. just to finish the plot. Because of sleeping too late, my eyes are close open when one of our teachers is discussing with a very soft voice. I don't want to be caught sleeping because if the teacher saw me sleeping, she will let me dance or let me jog around the campus. Gosh! I don't want to do that. It is so very tiring and the weather is hot.

     Okay, back to the first day of the week. Did you  know that I still tried my best to go to school even if I am not feeling well? I have a severe pharyngitis and severe cold with matching cough and my head is really aching.

      A hobby is a regular activity or interest that is undertaken for pleasure.

        Singing, swimming, listening to music, biking, watching television, texting, surfing the net, playing computer games, eating, shopping at the mall, and playing with my pets are some of my hobbies. Whenever I am doing these, I do not notice the time because I am enjoying doing it and I am having fun.

        One listed above is singing. I think I am good in singing because my mother said that my voice is good, so my father is currently finding a singing lesson sesion to develop my voice and to be a good singer. I am just a little bit shy to sing in front of many people because they might criticize me.

        The second one is swimming. I really love swimming. I can do freestyle continuously back and forth in the swimming pool in a short period of time.I also love biking.

        The third one is listening to music. Music gives color and adds meaning to my life. I think my problems are removed temporarily when I am listening to music especially pop music sung by Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Bruno Mars, Kesha and Britney Spears. But my favorite is Lady Gaga. I love her songs and her styles in singing. As of now, my favorite song is "Last Friday Night by Katy Perry.

       Watching television makes me happy. As of now, my favorite television show is "100 Days to Heaven" because it inspires me and I am learning many lessons. My favorite television artist is Kim Chiu because she is very beautiful, talented and good in acting. But I seldom watch soap operas anymore because I often watch cartoons especially "Phineas and Ferb" and "Mr. Bean". Even if it is always a replay, I am still watching it. I am also fond of watching cooking shows and fashion shows in television because I want to be a chef and fashion designer someday. I also watch movies in HBO especially adventures and fantasies like "The Spiderwick Chronicles". I also watch horror movies, but when ghosts appear, I am covering my eyes with a pillow and ask someone "hey, what happened? where's the ghost?".

       Playing computer games is my favorite hobby. It entertains me especially Audition Dance Battle and Dota. My classmates become shocked when they discovered that I am playing Dota because it is only for boys. They are shocked because I can beat them. In fact, I have beaten my crush in Dota. I can play computer games straight in eight hours without standing. I am a computer addict and computer is my bestfriend. My favorite site in the net is facebook! Yeah! I can't even resist a day without being online. I want to be updated with my friends' status. I am always excited in reading new notifications and messages from my facebook everyday.

        I really love shopping at the mall especially at Mall of Asia. My favorite shop there is Pinkbox. I am fond of buying different styles and colors of headbands, pony and hair clips. But I like color pink the most. I am also fond of buying dress, shoes, bags and jewelries because I love attending in parties. I am a shop-oholic person. I love pairing dresses. I also love buying shampoo, soap, cologne, lotion, facial wash and toothpaste with my mother at the super market. My favorite shampoo is head and shoulders because it is the world's number one shampoo according to the commercial and when I am using it, I do not have dandruff. My favorite soap is tender care because it makes my skin soft. My favorite facial wash is ponds because it prevents the growth of pimples and prevents my face to be dry. Lastly, my favorite toothpaste is colgate because it is the number one recommended by dentists and it makes my teeth shiny and white.

       My hobby that I am doing time to time is eating. I am always going back and forth to the kitchen to get some food. My favorite food is something that is sour like "paksiw".  My favorite desert is ice cream especially cookies and cream flavor. My favorite fruit is lychee. In fact, I can eat all three kilos of lychee continuously in just a minute. My favorite fast food restaurant is KFC. I like the hotshots and mushed potatoes there. My favorite beverage is iced tea. It refreshes me.

       I also loves to text with my friends even if I am only loading once every two months. The first thing I am finding when I woke up in the morning is my cellphone. I love reading text messages from my friends especially the jokes and inspirational quotes.

       I also love to play with my pets. This is my past time whenever my mother is using the computer. I am dressing them up and designing their houses. My favorite pet is cat, as seen in my profile. I love holding their fur. I even sleep with them in my bed even if my father is saying that it is dirty.

       Singing, playing computer games, shopping at the mall, texting, eating, watching television and swimming are my hobbies. I have my own hobbies that makes me different with other individuals. The hobbies that I do reflects my attitude.
