15- Importance Of Life
"Life"
For you, why life is important? On my idea, life is important because it come's from the God who deeply loving you. You will start to realize the God really loves you, you will stop demanding things like expensive items that's not needed and be thankful for what we have now. Having faith makes you strong to take risk that engage in your life such as challenges, deaths, fears, and etc.
I think some of us are hopeless and asking "Why I was born in this World?" someone says "I think God doesn't love me, because Life is so unfair". We have different status in life, some are rich but some are not. Money is the other way for our survival, Don't forget God. Please don't focus your time gathering money, Money is only a THING, faith is un-removable treasures we can have. The thing you should realize is you cannot bring the money if you died. Your life is wasted even you have a lot of money you're gathering more without helping for a needy person and if you don't have a time for him .Better to serve this thing in a different kinds of a community ,that a good way to help others and mostly for yourself.
If you have a problem don't forget our almighty God because he helps you to guide your way to solve your necessary problem. Don't lose hope no matter what happen because
There's still reason why problems, struggles, challenges comes from you because he want us to become a better or stronger individuals.
We makes of our own destiny. You'll be the one who has a choice pushing what way you should go either it is bad or good.
But it's better when you'll go in a right way,right? Be a nice person, spread your love to all God things. Don't waste a every minute of your life because life passed by too fast, you can only live once. You should make your life meaningful.
14- World Peace
"Peace"
Lets talk about terrorism, we always hear some news about that maybe thrice or more per year and it’s not different on this generation. It happens if they are not satisfied for what they have and a way of revenge to everyone. The most commonly definition of terrorism as political, ideological or religious violence by non-state actor. It may cause unlawful violence and war. United nation should unite all the country all over the world to have a GLOBAL PEACE. Some bad people may forgot our mighty god and grip to the eyes of a Satan. Be a highly faithed person because it’s the other way to have a peace of mind and to avoid bad things. If you make your angriness at the top of your emotion you might do definitely bad things. Theirs such a little problems become bigger because they didn’t talk and solving what the problem is. Chaos sometimes it happens because of their selfishness and the power of some people in our society. Killing a person who did something wrong and it’s not a proper way you can talk about that, questioning: Why you did that, we can help you to solve your problem. The other problem that World suferrs is having a power, it is the ability to influence or control the behavior of people or things, people who wants to achieve the power of ones have an envy to make his/her to make it into that position. Global or country terrorism is worst decision we can have. Why? Because it can affect all of the innocent people around us.
Peace is a natural demand of every human being, the very secret behind prosperity and development. When I hear a word peace, there’s only one question that comes to my mind “How long it will take to have a peace all over the world? Every hour, every minute, every second, there are good thing and bad thing happening in different side of this World. We have different crimes, right? But how to avoid that thing ? We’re gonna know that things especially when you keep reading this article. Criminals are the person who commit crimes for the sake of them and some criminals have a good or bad reason why they did that. Criminals can affect the flow of our community or a society because it can make people afraid going to the place that they want freely and there are different people around you and maybe you may die or having an accident because of them. You couldn’t know the different person around you if they wanted to have a crime or doing some normal things that many people do, you cannot determine them.
Lets talk about terrorism, we always hear some news about that maybe thrice or more per year and it’s not different on this generation. It happens if they are not satisfied for what they have and a way of revenge to everyone. The most commonly definition of terrorism as political, ideological or religious violence by non-state actor.

Global or country terrorism is worst decision we can have. Why? Because it can affect all of the innocent people around us.
A question is how to demand a peace in our country? I think every person can raise voice that means we should have a consideration of views and opinions of all the people, It cannot be achieved by mere assertions its not a wise process. Punishment is not the solution to have a peaceful country or world we should considered all the opinions of others..
13- The 24/7 All Around Job
"Mother's Love"
I will always admire my mom for always being there from the very beginning of my life. All moms out there had suffer, sacrifice but one thing is for sure: they won’t stop showing their care for you. There is no mother that will disregard their children because they’ve always wanted the best for their kids.
As young as we are, our mother’s trials began there. Carrying us for nine months inside their womb is no joke. She will feed you when you started to cry when you were young. Coddle you when you need one. She will grab you and do the lullaby and won’t stop unless you’re asleep. She will wake up in the middle of the night and make your milk. She protects you from harmful things. Everything works as planned. Her both eyes were dedicated for you until now because she is watching you always. Her job here is not yet done, she still keeps on doing those stuffs that we can even do it now by on our own. A great mom would never leave their kiddo without the right conduct. They taught us how to respect others and even do the complicated things with our homework. These things are just some of the basic sacrifices she have done just to raise a Reinan Meer. She is working now for more than a decade. I didn’t see that she was tired what I can see is that she really works hard for everything. Before it’s too late I will promise to take good care of you and love you like there’s no tomorrow. Payback time now mom! Now, I will take care of you and I’ll be with you most of my time. Im not here without a mother who keeps on working until now. I salute you for everything.
We should always show our love to our parents because we don’t know until when we are going to be with them. They are the one who molded us to become an outstanding product of them. We should never waste their sacrifices and efforts because at the later part of our life we are going to be like them too. Their job is not a joke.

12- If I Could Be An Object
"Computer"
If I could become an object what would I be? This was a question
asked by our professor and it really bugs me every time I think about it. What
would I really be? There's so much to choose from.
But if someone would ask me this question my answer will
be. I would be answering that I like to become a computer, who knows everything
that can answer any questions effectively and accurately. I might be an
emotional material for everyone but for me it is necessary to believable and
understandable. I can be useful for everyone's development by devoting myself
in helping them.
Aside from my hobby facing it every day and using, this
kind of device I chose this object because for me it is the most important
thing in today's world. Technology runs every human being aside from the ones
who can’t afford it. And the mother of all technology is the computer. I want
to be the hero of all the one who can be rely with the one who can help anybody
and anyone. I want to become a computer to be knowledgeable enough to face
different problems that would encounter. I want to solve every mystery this
world can offer and share it to everyone who has the initiative to learn! I
like to be known as a human robot who helps and who can be count on. The
coolest thing that I want to do is to play games anytime and anywhere I want
to.
Sometimes, I think that I can even rule the world when I
become a computer but not just a normal computer a computer that talk and live
a normal life like a human. Because people will think you're too smart and the
will believe to anything that you say. I want to be part of their lives as long
as I live and I want to be a legend to be told to the generations to come.
This might be a crazy thinking but I
flows in my mind always. But for now, I'll be living my life as a normal
teenager who has to study for the upcoming major exams to come. I'm so nervous
because this will be my first time taking tests in college. Smile emoticon
that's all for this entry. For this blog I kind a use my imagination roughly so
don't judge please!
11- Music Makes The World A Better Place
Music is a way of others to express themselves. To compose, write and sing are the ways on how they enjoy it. For some music is form of entertainment and source of joy. But for me, music is a part of my life my escape mechanism to reality. This is music for me and this is how I love music. I may not be a musician or a good critic about music but I for me I can appreciate it as much as them and everyone else who have some background about it.
I like all kinds of music but I'm fond of slow rock genre and bands which offers it. Such as Eagles, Scorpion, Beatles, Guns n Roses, Black Nazareth and many more to mention. I love how relaxing this kind of genre is like I can listen to it nonstop. Especially rainy or gloomy days, I can just lay down to my bed put on the earphones and listen to it, relax and enjoy the music. My favorite song is a song from Eagles named Hotel California. Aside from the music itself I loved how they put subliminal messages to it. They want to tell a story on how they're stuck to some problem with the hotel just like the lyrics "You can check out anytime you like but, you can never leave" said that even if they leave still the problem is with them and will always be.
There's a special someone who really made me love music even more. We always sing together as we chat through the phone and it really makes me feel free. I know my voice isn't that good but when I sing with her I feel like I'm that most talented guy in the world. Because she accepts it without saying anything bad even though I know that it’s the worst. She will just continue singing with me until we finish our favorite songs or the songs that I've requested. Her voice is really special to me that I could listen to it endlessly without pausing. I tried to convince her to make some covers but it didn't work. I don't want to persuade too much because it might make her angry. But I really wanna hear it!! This might be corny or just a little thing for the others but for me, that is really a big deal. It means so much to me that I craved to much of her voice. See, music can be use in different forms. It can make people happy, sad, safe, free and crazy. Some uses it to court someone, to send a message, to enlighten people minds and to revolutionize everyone who listen and share it. As I was reading an article on facebook many teenagers like me listen to music to escape reality instead of using drugs and alcoholic beverage. So I really recommend this method. But not to the extent that you forgot how to live your normal life and forgot to communicate with others. Just enjoy the song and use your imagination as you fly to the sky full of lyrics and beats.
10- Anti Smoking
"Quit smoking or die trying"
When you quit smoking, your emotions may not be as in check as they were before. Even if you are not an emotional person, the effect that cravings can have on you can turn you into that kind of person.
Now that being said, you might be behaviorally addicted. You might have these habits that
have grown up around smoking. So when someone who, two years after they gave up cigarettes, has a cup of coffee in the morning and has this urge to smoke with their cup of coffee, that’s not a physical addiction, that’s a habitual urge that’s reemerging and is making itself know. So if you want to stop smoking, if we recognize that all you have to do is make it through the first 100 hours and you’ll not be physically addicted to nicotine anymore, what you need to do is you need to recognize the cues and the rewards that you usually associate with smoking.
Now, some people smoke, and maybe you smoke because it’s social. Right? Because when you’re at a bar, you don’t know what to do with your hands or it’s a convenient way to go outside and gossip with your colleagues in the middle of the day or it’s a way to take a break. If that’s the reward that smoking is serving for you, you need to find a new routine that delivers that same reward. So that could mean that during the middle of the day, you have a couple of friends that you take a walk with around the block and you’ve planned this in advance. Or at a bar, you have something else to do with your hands. But you can’t just say, “I’m gonna quit smoking.” You have to figure out what the cue is and what the reward its delivering is and find a new routine to sort of shoehorn in.

9- Bayani Ba To? Heroism for Millennials
"Bayani Ba To? Heroism for Millennials".
Hero? Is
it a person? or what? because some people don't know what is the term of heroes
in the land where they lived. Today some of the kids don't know what is hero
is. Other people know Superman, Batman, Green Lantern and some heroes in the
television.The true hero is a person without superpowers.
Hero, one who displays courage and
self-sacrifice for the greater good. In Philippines there are many
heroes like Emilio Jose Rizal, Apolinario Mabini, Andres Bonifacio and many
more. For the trailer that I watched in the auditorium last Friday was about
'Heneral Luna' the Most brilliant military men, General 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” bring us filmmaker and director
Jerrold Tarog and cast Aaron Villaflor, as well as renowned historians as
resource speakers to give the audience insights on Philippine history and
heroism. The forum aims to impart the value of heroism to students using
lessons from history. It aims to show that the deeds of our heroes are not
hackneyed fables but real, breathing examples of how to live our lives.
Before I end this blog let me leave you the 10 things you can do for your country Love your country, be proud to be a Filipino. Wherever you always remember that you are a Filipino and be proud of it. Be inspired by our nation's heroes and never forget their legacies. And be aware of what's going on in your community, your country, and the world. Participate! Be active when you can. Participation is important, because if you are Filipino everyone of you will help each other. Let your voice be heard, while listening to others, always be proud with your talents and do not underestimate yourself. Be the best at whatever you do, do your best every time because you are Filipino, Filipino is talented. Know your rights and fight for them if you have to! fight for your rights and a Filipino don't let their selves to be defeated. Choose good leaders. And the most important is know your history, Love it, learn it, reflect on it.
BE A MODERN FILIPINO HERO! YOU CAN DO IT!

8- SoCSIT Week
"SoCSIT Week"
"July 28-31" the most awaited week for me and for other SoCSIT students. Since I am a frosh student here at APC, I didn’t have any idea what would happen over that week. I've heard that the week is going to be full of fun, from other higher SoCSIT student and they were right. Everything was planned; I saw some news and list of activities at Asia Pacific College's fanpage at facebook and I was really thrilled about it. The various seminars and workshops, sports fest, quiz show, and other events made me more interested about it.
The first day of the SoCSIT week was fun. I can see all the preparations of the participants, organizers, director heads, and everyone at the parking lot. You can really see the grin from the faces of other people right there. Though it's really hot at the venue, it didn’t hinder the flow of the program. We are all waiting for the candidates of the Mr. & Ms. SoCSIT since one of our block mate is there. The glimpse of the runway made as more interested to watch the pageant on the 31st of July.
29th of July; the 2nd day of the SoCSIT week. Surprisingly, I am one of the participants of IT quiz show together with my two block mates. I really need to prepare and study some stuffs related to the course but I didn’t have much time to review my lectures so I was so nervous while we were on our way to the auditorium. The mechanics were discussed and the quiz show begun. We were the first team to gain a point so we thought that it's going to be easy for us to bring home the bacon. But I was wrong; we were surrounded by other brilliant teams. Luckily, we advanced on the final round and we were so tense but we managed to win the quiz show and answer some of the bonus questions. With the help of my team of course we won a 500php worth of GC to Krispy Kreme. A box of sweets reward is not bad.
30th of july, 3rd day of the week; a week full of teaching. The seminars really helped us to be more familiarized with our field. We gained a lot of new insights that will help us being an IT student. The speakers were really great and professional since they know everything. I also watched the Mr. & Ms. SoCSIT night .
The last day of the fun week, before we go to our normal life in our classroom with our professors this is the day where we are all going to enjoy the night. The SoCSIT night, it was fun too but I didn’t attend the whole program because me and my mates spent our time at Max's enjoying the unlimited chicken promo. Hahaha. But this night is a remarkable on knowing that we've met few of the people behind the SoCSIT.

7 - Dating is Faith
Dating is…
Being single in movies and sitcoms is usually portrayed
as being fantastic. The characters easily meet new people to date, go on
exciting adventures, and then humorously share their experiences with great
friends. They say it is easy but
actually it is hard… and scary.
For me, dating is a process we
undergo in life where we ought to find ‘the one’ or someone who will love us. But
sometimes, it’s a way where we can be fool by the people we met. We wake up in
the morning, meet them, say “hi” and start dating. It hard for some of us our
shy and we barely start the conversation with someone. Some
people simply have a harder time meeting people. We are all different and some
people do better at social interactions and meeting potential people to date.
Some just don’t meet people with the same ease. Sometimes we rattle when talking and we accidentally ask the
inappropriate questions and that’s a major turn-off.
We are all excited with the feeling of spending time with our opposite sex without minding what he’s or she’s background. That is when dating become scary. Sometimes it leads into an unexpected one night stand. An accident… Or sometimes your date won’t be successful because you don’t really get each other. Compatibility, chemistry and timing are all variables out of your control. Dating requires that you understand and accept that.

Compatibility, chemistry and timing are all variables out of your control. Dating requires that you understand and accept that.
After all, I still believe in the mechanism of faith. Yes, having a date
may be a help but for me God has settled someone for us. Someone over there is
destined to us forever. Dating will serve as ladder to him/her. All we have to
do is keep looking and be patient. Try, get hurt and move on. So when the
perfect one comes, you know what to do and not to.

6 - Annyeonghaseyo! Welcome to Korea!
The place I would most like to be...
The world consists of thousands of islands, seven continents
with hundreds of countries. What a wonderful gift from God, isn’t it? We are
blessed with beautiful places; so definitely, people want to travel each and
every of it. Like other people, I have dream places to visit. And one of those
is Korea.
Korea
is famous for its unique style when it comes to music and dance which they
refer to as K-pop. Also, it is notorious for its different food and delicacies.
But there are more things in Korea to love. Do you know that Korea is full of
theme parks where you can have wonderful time without spending any hint of
money, for example, Everland. It is the largest theme park in Korea with a free
pass. You could take the rest of your day shopping at some specialty stores
like ginseng outlets, cosmetic duty free shops, and amethyst showroom. Or in
Myeongdong, a hugely popular shopping district. You can also visit Deoksu
Palace, a walled compound of palaces inhabited by various Korean royalties.
Afterward,
try to come at Kimnyoung Mazepark, one of the largest symbolic labyrinths in
the world located at Jeju Island. Next, stop over at Jeju Aqua Planet, the
largest aquarium in Asia with a variety of animals from all over the world on
display. Then, get to visit Teseum Safari, the world’s first teddy bear museum.
Experience
a fun trip at the biggest indoor theme park in the world, the Lotte World.
Getting curious about kimchi? You can know learn to make the best kimchi by
attending Kimchi School. And lastly, take a stroll at Cheongdo Persimmon Wine
Tunnel, the world’s first persimmon wine cellar.
There
are several places in Korea where you can have fun and enjoy together with your
loved ones. When I am already a well-financed person, I’ll bring my family and
loved one to this striking place. All we will do is have fun, spend the time
together and experience Korean culture. Korea is a small country but is the
place I would most like to be.
5 - Paint your Food
Adobo,
mechado, and
menudo down to bicol express, laing, sinigang and tinola. Desserts? Cakes in all flavors, ice cream, pastries and kakanin… Who doesn’t love to eat those?
Or basically, who doesn’t love food? All of us know that food is important. It
is the basic need of a certain family. It is the obsession of every one of us.
So when someone cooks, everyone spins their butts finishing a certain dish. But
do we know that besides cooking will outcome to a delicious food, it also
result to an art?
Yes, you’ve heard it. Cooking is an
art. It expresses emotions and feelings. Every food that a chef or cook does
have its meaning... Every taste has its
inside story. Cooking requires creativity and imagination. Because good cooking calls for imagination, a
well-developed creative sense, and the ability to express yourself in the
product you’re doing. If you look at the creative part of cooking where
either an individual chooses a selection of ingredients or cooking methods to
create a desired end result, it is more of an art. This is similar to the
artist using paint color and technique to create a painting or a writer doing
the same with words and grammar. Both the painter and the writer are using
tools to *create* not recreate and the result is subjectively successful - the
great chefs, painters and writers are deemed to be great because they create
something others love and admire.
When you cut the
tomatoes it just the same when you fixative the red paint…
When you stir the milk, it just the same as you
mix the color…
When you mold the dough, it just the same as you
morphed clay...
When you garnish the plate, it just the same as
you add final touch on your painting.
Art isn't all about painting and music sometimes
in cooking too. Cooking reflects the person behind it. It tells a story. Good cooking takes you to heaven or any place
that you call heaven for that matter. To conclude, cooking is something that
cannot be learnt. Like art, the qualities of a cook must be ingrained in a
person. But, that does not mean that you cannot learn a few scrumptious dishes.
So go give it a try, and yes cooking is an art.
4 - We Are Who We Are
The problem is...
Do you ever tried to be
someone you’re not? To do something you’re not used to? Do you ever feel like
you’re somebody else? I think everyone does. That is the problem is this world.
Everything looks to be unreal. Fake is the new trend and everyone seems to be
in style. It is very hard to be ourselves because we are all afraid of what
will others say. I might say ‘who cares?’
But all I see is everyone does.
People think you’re crazy if
they don’t understand what you’re saying. They’ll judge you through your
outside look. We are all busy thinking ‘How
do I look?’, ‘Do I look pretty?’,
‘Did I do the right thing?’ or ‘Did I say the precise word?’ The
problem is, whatever we do, whether it is right or wrong, people will judge us.
So instead of pondering what they will say to us, why don’t we try to just do
our own thing? Have your self-confidence. Confidence is not ‘they will like me’. Confidence is ‘I’ll be fine if they don’t’. Always be
the first-version of yourself than trying to be the second-version of somebody
else. Let them judge you but always prove them wrong. Let them say you’re not
worth it but let them watch where you have ended.
Have the rule in your life
where the first rule is never be number 2. Get the logic? We can be number one
in our own ways without humiliating others. Never dull your shine for somebody
else. You’re imperfections make you beautiful, they make who you are. Don’t sit
and just let things happen. Go out and make things happen. People might shoot
you their words or cut you with their hate, but still like air, you will rise.
Remember that the more they hate the more you rise. Enjoy you are. Don’t hate
yourself for not being like them. Your weirdness makes you unique. You are not
born to fit. You are born to be yourself.
The problem is we think over
what the problem is. You shouldn't
compare yourself with others, because no one in the entire world can do a
better job of being you than you. You shouldn't want to be better than everybody else; you
should want to be better than you ever thought you could be. It's better to be yourself and have no friends, than it is
to be like your friends and have no self. Always accept and feel comfortable with your flaws, that
way no one can ever use them against you.

3 - What time is it? Its Christmas time!
What is your favorite time of year?
This is the most awaited time of the
year. Different traditions, culture and ways of celebrating it... Time for
peace and giving. Time for appreciating all the blessings you receive within
the whole year. Season of red and green, where smiles from everyone can be
seen. Who else doesn’t know it? Of course, it is the Christmas Holiday.
Christmas or Christmas
Day comes from the old English word, Crīstesmæsse, meaning "Christ's Mass”,
is an annual festival honoring the
birth of Jesus Christ. It
is observed most commonly on as a religious and cultural celebration among
billions of people around the world. It is known as the time for gift-giving
and sharing. But for me, it is the time for fun. I believe that as it is the
time of Jesus, God also wants us to have fun and rest at least a little time
from all the hard work we’ve been doing. Christmas is for us to enjoy. From the
delicious food and delicacies coming from the different countries down to the
beautiful gifts and presents, all of these are worth to be relish and
appreciate.
And of course, the family gatherings won’t be forgotten on the list. Family
members from the farthest side of the country will all be complete again
through the help of Christmas. Reminiscing all your happy moments together…
Doing the things you usually do before… A family reunion as they called it. And
of course, when there are family reunions, there would be door-to-door parties.
Games of different kinds and cute gifts. Santa Claus everywhere, children
caroling house to house and Christmas lights twinkling brightly with neon
colors. What a wonderful time it is!
But let us all remember the true meaning of Christmas, it is about Jesus
Christ. What are things related to Jesus Christ? Love, family, and children. No
matter how expensive the gifts we have, the most delicious meals we have in our
table or the number of parties we have attended, when we don’t know how to
really celebrate it, everything will turn into nothing. Christmas is spend
spent with our loved ones with the alive presence of Jesus’ spirit that is why
it is my most favorite time of the year.

2 - Love and Lust
I know better now...
Once
teenagers found out that ‘love’ will be the topic of their composition or essay
to be write, they were so excited because they can outcast many things about
it. They were so inspired to talk about it that sometimes it seems like they have
known already anything about it. But for me, love is the most complicated thing
in this world. It is not that easy to understand. It is a learning process because
sometimes teenagers can mistake love for fleshly desire
only.
This
is a very big problem among the teenagers in the world. With some many teenage
single moms and kids having intercourse among an early age, they use the phrase "I
love you" a little too loosely. Lust is what makes people believe that
they’re deeply in love with someone. When two teens with so much lust for each
other and all they ever do are just having lust relations, they may very well
think they are in love. The phrase "making love" is used for intercourse, so
in time, teenagers may convince themselves they are in love, when all it is
just simply physical attraction. As a result, the number of teenage pregnancy
is increasing. Early marriage occurs in both sides. Teenagers who require on
early marriage are in fact not ready for responsibilities.
Teenagers
should not commit seriously when it comes to love. They may say that they’re
deeply in love but sometimes, all they feel is lust. So for me, all teenagers
should be aware when it comes to their feelings so it won’t lead to anything
bad. All we have to do is enjoy this sudden change of emotion that occurs to us
but never misused it. Enjoy the fun and amusement you feel to your opposite
sex. Never do anything that we will regret in the end. Because like what other
people say, in order to be loved for real, one must love himself or herself first.
How can we do that? Respect yourself.
Love
and lust is two different things but they are both engaged with big
responsibilities. Love is somehow deep while lust is the front act of it. Take
the time to know each other's heart. When you do, you will be more
understanding and less suitable to misunderstand another's intentions, which
probably were never meant to hurt or upset you to begin with. Take our time to
know what love is. We can do it without trying to do mistakes. Do not rush to
fall in love. Because you may not know
that while you hurry to fall in love, you have just fall in lust.

1 - The New Version of Me
The new me...
Have you ever experienced to be bullied and you
can’t even do anything about it? Sometimes I pity myself for experiencing it
because I feel weak and I’m like nobody. It was one of the ugliest parts of my
life. Because of it, I told myself that it shouldn’t be happening to me. I know
that I am strong enough to be bullied just like that. So what did I do? I
change for the better.
As I grow up, I tried to be more courageous
and resilient not only physically but emotionally too. I practiced to more self-governing
and responsible. I knew that I’m not a child anymore that’s why I do my best to
be more mature. With the help of people around me, I was able to mend myself.
As a result, I gained lots of true and nice friends. We have the same interests
in life and we connect like brothers. They don’t torment me anymore instead,
they protect me whole-heartedly. Of course, my family was there to support me
all the way. They were my inspiration with all the things that I do. And
lastly, our God was there to guide me. From all the hardships I have
encountered, I have proven that He will never say to me. I have strong faith in
Him and I promised myself to be His servant forever.
I am so livid with my past. But I
have learned that you don’t have to adjust yourself just to please others. You
have to do it in your own will without no one dictating you what to do. The
people around you will only serve as your help but the actual action of
betterment is in your hands. You don’t have to curse the people who have
wounded you. Yes, they might have hurt you but things happened for a reason.
Maybe, it happened to you because God wants you to learn something from that
experience. All you have to do is trust God and all His plans.
Now that I am in college, I try to
focus on my education. I swear to myself that I will make all the bad moments
of my life as a drive to succeed. I will mold myself to be a worthy person in
all aspects. That person that they bullied before will no longer be that
person. He’ll be the person who has big dreams and real goals to achieve. And
that is me. A new person for his new life… The new version of me…
