Mysterious Thursday
Have you ever saw a spirit or felt that someone is just around even if you cannot see anything? How did you reacted? It was Thursday afternoon, we were having a Music class in the Music room. Then few minutes before the period ends, one of the instruments hissed as if someone was playing it but no one even touched it. But our professor just told us that we should not be afraid of that stuff. SO we continued our lesson. Then after the dismissal, I and some of my classmates tried to find an internet cafe. First, we went to Surf and Play but their internet connection was down. So we went to Artt- i but it was fully occupied. Then, we went to Jackoona, the operator said that their connection was also down. So we walked along the sidewalk until we reached the old Surf and Play but unfortunately only one computer was available so we decided to go back to the campus. But one of us decided to have a peep in Gateway so that we would know whether there are still vacant computers or it is fully occupied. So one of us went across the road and took a furtive look inside the said internet cafe. Then, when that classmate of ours went back towards us the statement she said was "There are more than 10 computers which are not in used but their internet connection is slow." So even if some of us would like to go there but one member persisted to proceed to the campus. So as a group, and of course as friends, we all decided to use the money intended for the internet to buy some snacks. So, after we bought tempura, softdrinks and junkfoods we induced to come to a choice to go to the College Campus and drink water there. But after a while, Irene, one of our group members said that she's going to the comfort room so with John Rhey. So I, Janellend Jurrine also went with Irene since John Rhey is going to the boy's comfort room. Then, when Irene, one of our group said that she is going to the comfort room so with JohnRhey. So, Jeny-vi, Janelle and Jurrine also went with Irene since Irene is going to the boy’s comfort room. Then, when Irene took the first step inside the C.R. , she approached and said that there is a whizzing sound even if there is no person there. So we took a peek in the comfort room since it is widely open below so you could imagine what is the style of that comfort room. The first one who glanced was Jurrine so I followed and also Mia but we did not saw any feet. But when we looked above, there was a head. So we all entered the comfort room a agroup so that we would discharge our fears. Then, Irene went inside the cubicle and urinated. While we were waiting, we were eating inside the comfort room and talking about some matters. While Irene was still inside the cubicle, we decided just to stay in the doorway except for Mia who had a plan to frighten Irene. But instead that Irene would be terrified, she was rather the one who was horrified because the door of that one cubicle which “an out of order” sign was posted was shaking in the case that somebody wants it to open from the inside but there is no person there. Besides she did not touch it. So she ran towards us and told us the whole story.
After we decided to go home but it left a question mark in our mind.
Technology
Guys, what do you sense the present technological advances brought into our life? Did it perk up our day by day living wage? Or somehow it gave nuisance to the people in the human race? Does it have the point of giving pluses and minuses in our existence?
We have the fact of proliferation of technology in our age, technology with all its magic and all its accompanying despair. The wildest possibilities have been achieved in various areas of human activity- in industry, agriculture, business, medicine, communication and transportation- as a result of technological infusion. The judicious use of technology has spared the human person much of the tedium and drudgery in work has freed him or her of unnecessary fears and pain and has given him or her more time for leisure, better assurances of death and a longer life and more opportunities for a fuller enjoyment of living.
But technology too has widened the gap between the already disparate groups in the world- the hungry, ignorant, sick and despairing millions on one hand, and the well-clothed, abundantly living beneficiaries of technology on the other. The by- products of there disparities are the glorification of material ascendancy among the advanced groups, and a growing discontent on the part of those who see that such technological benefits are there but not quite within their reach.
Another point is that recent advances have enabled us to enjoy a much easier life than our ancestors did, but this good life has almost exhausted and devastated our natural resources and has resulted in air and water pollution.
Those were talking about the commendable and iniquitous outcome after having such contemporary technology.
The radios or other sound appliances or devices make our mood change from time to time. It sometimes give comfort, sometimes also you are brought by the lonely story of the song. If you want an all-in-one gadget that provides you everything, there are computers. It could give sounds, it could take pictures using the webcam, and you could communicate with other people even outside the country at a very affordable price. Computers could be educational- purpose and fun- purpose device.
These are just some of the gadgets made by the technology. There are still may other which are not mentioned and many are still inventing.
Generally those were the compensation and inconvenience of having such modern technology. We really have the two sides and it is up to you on how you evaluate technology in you yourself and how it brought relaxing sensation to your life.
Man has developed an advanced technology that has made it possible to land on the moon and study distant planets, but he still have to use this same technology or even more advance technology to clean the earth’s air and water so that he can live in harmony with nature.
My Elementary Days
They say it is better when you get in touch with high school. But since I am still in the first step of high school, I found my elementary years as a startling and exigent stage of my life. But I admit as a first year high school in the University of the Philippines that high school life is more taxing But as of now let us focus on our elementary years since it is over. Let us take a look once more on how my life in elementary went on.
Oh!! Talking about intermediate years? I have so much to utter to you guys, of course there were these blissful moments and of course we got some lonesome experiences.
I just wanted to start with those joyful accomplishments. Since Grade One to Grade Six I got to stumble upon the similar populace with the unchanged faces. The cheerful thing I remembered as an individual affair was that at all times I belong to the top ten of the Science Class.But I crave to speak about to you my experiences with my colleagues.
From Grade One until Grade Four we constantly have a consignment edifying excursion. We went to diverse places. We have moved out to chronological spaces. We also have previously gone to places which would convey gratification and amuse to us. Just like the Family Park. But nowadays I cannot keep in mind all the places because they are excessively many, all I can utter is that it was subsequently worth remembering.
But the tear-jerking part of all the elementary days was in Grade Four because more than half of us failed in Science Class. So from 49 of us, we dropped down to 28. Meaning, we dwindled in number. But in return the out of the ordinary part was our Grade Six verve. For that year alone we have come across so many obstacles but at least we have won it.
In our Grade Six days, since we are Science Class pupils we essentially have a rivalry with the 2nd section or the “Gold”. Because they started to articulate unkind remarks us that we are dreary, that we do not ought to fit in in the highest section. They as well alleged that we are dire. The thing there is that we did not craft any stuff that is in opposition to them and we were really offended- “Maybe they are just being envious.” That was really the immense issue. But at the rear we erudite to remain patient and we learned to take a smile after all. Speaking of learning to keep patience and learning to smile after all, we still have in high spirit experiences and/or moments.
Let us start inside the classroom within the four walls.
You know we were already there as early as six o’clock in the morning. You know why? It is because we still have to cease the unaccomplished domicile works or projects. I divulge that every so often we in fact hackneyed one of our classmate’s assignment word per word. And so his or her notebook was passed to everybody. So when it came to talk about homework, we have merely the similar scores or even the equal scores at all. But take note we did not do that stuff during examinations. Then, when it came to sports, we supported each other. Even if I, Rheena, Janelle and Emme were Scrabble club members we still support other clubs. We supported the chess club, badminton club, and dance sports as long as there is a classmate of ours that is a constituent of a scrupulous sports. Based on that the state of mind which they called the” Crab Mentality” is a BIG NO, NO!!! We had grand comradeship to each other most especially that our teacher is just akin to be our ally. But in curriculum she acted like a educator to each one of us and not as a friend anymore. In addition to what I have acknowledged a while ago, our acquaintance was so brawny that no one can ever rupture it. Then also in the camp, we had treasured memorable jiffy.
Oh, and being a Science Class I meekly inform you that it is always from our section that is brought to challenge and dares. It could be academic bowls, beauty contests, sports competition and etc. And talking about our group-not for being so audacious, Science Class Batch 2000-2006 is the darling of all the teachers judge against other batches. That is real and that is the truth!!
Then when it is time for us to cry and proffer goodbye to each one we pledged that we would apportion some time so that we could convene. That was my loved reminiscences in my elementary days and I would not disregard it until I go to meet our maker.
Text Bomb
I guess you've been also embarassed in different matters or situations. But among those, what do you consider the most embarassing moment?
It was Christmas vacation when me and my friend had time for texting. We texted every hour, every minute, every second of the day. We talked about different matters. We slept at around 9:30 in the evening even if it is a break.
But among all the days of our texting, there is really moment that Jhacel, my friend, left her cellphone and every time she leaves her cellphone, her brother gets hold of it. That is my point now, meaning, that his brother was the one holding the cellphone at that very moment when I revealed my secret since all I knew was my bestfriend was holding her cellphone at that time. After, I sent the message containing my most precious secret, I received a reply, with remarks at the end that" This is Jhacel's brother. This cellphone is with me because she went to somewhere else", using our native language, the Vernacular.
Then, the brother of my friend said that my crush was there in their house. After I read his message, I thought it just meant that my crush was simply there but that text message wanted to warn me not to attempt to reveal my secrets because he iwas also reading it. So because I misunderstood it, it lead me to a "vulgarization session" with my friend's brother. Then, not knowing, there were also text messages from my crush that I thought it was from my friend's brother. You may notice that everytime I talk about my friend's brother- I do not say his name. It is because he wanted privacy. Going back to our main topic. So all I knew is that her brother was using it so when I received a text message questioning if I really got crush on his cousin, I answered a BIG YES. But naturally, if you were in my shoes, you would really deny it and so I did at first. But later I asked a favor on the brother of my friend not to breathe any word to anyone else. And he said he won't really say it to anybody. Not knowing my crush really saw that text message and so if ever I would deny, he would have a witness and of course an evidence. But until that time I still did not know that some messages were from my crush. I even gave the best description for a man. Then the thing there is I really have no idea that it was him who had read the messages.
After sometime, my friend was already home. I told her of what I felt while texting with her brother. You know why? While texting I was already suspecting if it was really my friend's brother because as what I knew with her brother- he was quite naughty. But the text messages did not match with his characters- it was even opposite. The messages were so sweet and so friendly. That made me think twice.
Then, my friend told me that we would text each other. (refers to my crush). After she told me that I received a message. And so I refused at first because I felt that my hands are shaking when he first texted me. I was nervous. But later I gave up refusing, so we texted each other. But until this time I did not concluded that it was him and not my friend's brother who texted me at that time before she arrived in their house. But I was thinking of that possibilty. Then later I knew from my friend that my crush has read my message. Oh, how embarassing was it. I felt really, really embarassed. It was to the extreme that I already did not want to go out of our house and stay there 24 hours. But I can't because I used it to go out of our house because it was the only time in which my mother would permit me to go out with my friends. But in return we were already friends. And I'm so happy with that.
From that time on, I was even more careful in every move I make so you won't be embarassed anymore.
And to you guys who is reading this experience of mine- I know you learned something from this. Hoping that you will apply it somehow in your daily living.
Know Me Better
Hello, friends out there! I know some of you got to know me well and maybe some just got to know my name and other basic facts about me. But for those who would like to know me better, now is the right time. All you got to do is to read everything written here.For those who do not know even my name, by the way, I am AnnRey B. Penensoro and I prefer to be called by my name "AnnRey". For those who would like to know my community background just go to 296- N Gonzales Compound Gorordo Avenue Kamputhaw, Cebu City, the address of our place in this present times. But I just want to inform you that we are not rich and we are not that poor, maybe I'll consider our family as a middle class family so that you would not expect much of me especially when it comes to money matter.For those who would like to know my birthday so they could greet me sommehow, it is celebrated every 30th day of August. And I was born at Air Force General Hospital Villamor, Air Base Pasay City. Those mention above were all talking about the basic facts of being me. Now let us move forward to a deeper talk , I mean to my inner characteristics. Starting with the nice ones, for persons who are searching for new friends- I could be one. Meaning, I honor friendship. Secondly, I accept failures in reality. But in reality, at first just like other pesons in the world however, it brings disappointment or discouragement but later I learn to recover after such failure in my life. At first you would say or think that I am a type of girl that is "maldita". But as we get closr to each other, the real me goes out. I just do not want them to be so free teasing me abotu everything for fun. I do not want to experience what some of our other classmates are experiencing right now. Let us just keep their names for privacy also. What our other classmates are doing are teasing them for fun only but we do not know they are hurt inside because they are persons like us. Next is my initiative to reach the goal of success. Even if sometimes I've got low grades but at least I tried my very best. At most times, I always put my best foot forward. Now as a person in this world, I am also imperfect because I am not that kind of person they call "perfectionist". However, despite of the good traits, I do have also the bad side. Let us enumerate them- I've got to criticize people also. There are really times that maybe because of so much anger to a person you've got to criticize him or her. Mostly, we Filipinos have this so called"Crab Mentality". Meaning, you got to put down a person which excelled more than you do. Let us also say that sometimes I failed to do such a promise. But often times, I've got to comply with my promises. Going back to those people who teased some of my classmates, honestly, I belong to them. But it is just because I'm just going and riding with the class' trip. But frankly, I limit it and I tell them also not to do such that may end up to a quarrel.Then, now if you would like to communicate with me or at least would have any connections with me, here are some details. Please add me up to your friends' list in friendster- hottie_cutieann06@yahoo.com. Let us have a cool and chill chatting with Yahoo! Messenger- annrey_happz06 or e-mail me at annrey_happz06@yahoo.com. Lastly, come and play with me at the Clubpenguin, find me there. My username is annreybp. You may notice that I did not display my cellphone and telephone number. It is because those are just for personal or shall we say private use. Now that you got to know me well, it is up to you to understand me as myself. Because every person is different and so I am.

Love Really Heals
When you are discourage or even angry what things make you calm down? Or what gives you the courage to do better next time? Does it really help? It was a fine day at the start. But when it was alredy the period for Reading, I was so discouraged of the results of the test. I really, really failed. I seemed to laugh at my score and smiled to persons I meet. But after the dismissal I went home with a sad face. In the house, I can't help but cry and my tears kept on falling. I regretted it. All I knew was that I have studied but those facts I read did not came out in the test. Actually, I haven't read in the book most of the items, but it was there. It was just in the fact that I focused on other details. Then, while crying I was to the intense of blaming myself that I have said indecent words which are not supposed to be spoken out. It was just because of my extreme anger and at the same time of the disappointment. The story did not end there, I was trying to forget about it because I have realized that it is my own fault and not of the other people and I cannot undo it anymore. So it lead me to read a book. Meanwhile, my mother commanded me to clean outside our house, but before that, I sat on the bench outside and reflected on myself and the things I have done. Then, I remembered that my mother told me to do something. So I followed it. I arranged the woods and compiled or placed it in one place so it would not look topsy turvy, instead it would look neat inspite of the renovation we are having. Later, I asked permission from my mother to go to the house of my aunt , and so I was permitted. When I arrived at my aunt's house, there my cousin wre bursting out with laughter. They were all laughing like a drain. So as their cousin, I joined them but all the funny jokes and stuffs they made and said did not help at all. But I was also laughing but in a "plastic mode". Later, I said that I would like to go home already because I am so sleepy. I felt sleepy because while watching a movie, I was not focusing on it but I was thinking about my grades in Reading. I was intensively serious about that happening. So I requested one of my cousins to go with me because I am afraid of the dark since it was already night and very dim. We passed by the house of the person whom I admire and I saw him.. He also saw me. We had a few seconds eye-to-eye moment. I felt the usual feeling of persons who had experienced this. This made me feel comfortable. I blushed from head to toes. But I did not let anyone notice it but still my cousin who was with me noticed it. Like any other person, she was really convincing me to tell her that I really admire that neighbor of ours. Let us just keep his name for privacy. So I ended up my day with earning some "KM-Kilig Moments." In return, I was happy as I slept. It gave me comfort and reason to do better next time. It is up to you on how to down yourself or on how to give courage on yourself. But for me, based on my experience- it is LOVE that heals. But there is a limit to everything. You have the control of yourself.
