"It's influence," he always says, "you can have more from it than money can." At first, I didn't understand what he meant. And so, I was continuously searching. Sadly, no answer was seen...
Well, I guess i was to blind, to innocent to not see that "influence" is all around me. It's in politics where officials get trust from people even if they don't know each other personally. It's in entertainment where different stories makes other people believe or change their mind. It's in competetion, technology, culture, it's everywhere.
Well, i did not made mention of one great influence is how people change. When a person, as it grows, environment influences it to change. And some people don't understand this change of some. So why do we change? Because it's important. Change help us adapt in the living of others or even living in our own lives.
Change unstoppable and hard to return to how it used to be. That's why a person should know up to where is the line to be influence and also what exactly is it. Ask yourself first if the influence you're getting will make you a better person or worse.
Now, we both understand...

What a Friend Means
Perhaps for a typical person, dwelling will never be the same as living if there won't be any friends beside. I agree since I have my own experiences with my very own friends. I realized more and more things as I get more mature. But then, there comes the time when we asks ourselves "What is a friend?"
Friend, like other words, changes its meaning through time. Also, different people define it differently. It's only made up of six letters but its meaning is broader than what we can imagine. Others may define it as companion, while some define it as family. For me, "friend" is a person who can be trusted, who is there when others are in need and understands limitations and comfort even if words are not present.
Well, actually, the reason why I thought of writing this is because exactly right now, I am facing a test of friendship. Problems like what I have is one way of seeing the how strong bonds between friends exist. And I am here present to accept it to prove that the friends that I've known are no lies. I guess it's natural. And after everything, I know in the end, i cam tell myself "I know what a REAL friend means?"

Facing Back the Bridges
Yes! It's August 15 of 2008 when I returned back to TISC every year to pay a visit. With me is Michy, Pau and Ria Camille all wearing black with our other friends Bea, Dianne, Shaider and Emer.
It was about 11 AM when we went by the gate and so we waited until we are complete. At first, we can't enter because of the guards. Well, they are new in the school and in our time we freely enter so we don't know what to do. We are already giving up until me and Pau decided to enter to the canteen only and buy some drink. We happen to see a teacher we know and she let everyone enter despite the fact that a minute ago, we were just waiting for a ride. So we entered the school and talk to the administrators. The four of us are really excited about it and happy. We talked about our present, past and as well as future lives. The people there were as warm as before.
After that, we went to the canteen to meet the 3rd years, our batchmates and we were like some old students there. Well, that was expected. I was also suprised of the news about them. Well, too bad we were not able to catch up with the 4th years lunch. I guess there's still next time. Times that continuously getting fewer and fewer since they will nearly graduate. Anyway, I'll be happy for them.
On the other hand, we all went the bus, Ria and me to Naic while them to Maragondon to celebrate the fiest. I had a lot of fun!

A Week of Business
Well, well, well! This week started when the English Club lead the flag ceremony. We found it hard to find for the music and our president is not around when we had it. At least, I am happy it's over and done. It was really hard but it was a lot of fun. Anyway, it did not stop there. We also got busy with cleaning since these visitors arrived. We didn't even had Chemistry and PE because of it. That's why I felt so saved when I don't have my PE with me. Hehe. This friday, we also had classes while the lower years are half day And also, the fourth years are very busy with their UPCAT this weekend. That is the same reason why there are only third years in the meeting of Molecules this Saturday. The lower years were in the field trip and the UPCAT for 4th years. Well, I stayed at school up to three while my brothers are not yet home since they went to the Art contest with Mother, and Sister went to Pampanga. Well, it was really a busy week! A busy wee knot only for me but for everyone!
What Is It?
Well, it was Monday when I passed the Mathizit answer to a Math club member. It's about 5:40 PM when I passed it. The question was about the angle when the clock strikes 9:53 and i answered 21.5.
Then, the friday of the week, I was called in front again. Hehe! We are actually 3 on the front. The first one to get was from 1st year and the other is from 4th year. Math club says we'll have a certificate about it with the font of our favorite color.

A Father He Will Always Be
Things happen to our lives unplanned. Neither choosing my father is part of it. But then, I am so thankful I have. And, as I grow, I began to see what kind of person my father is, deeper and deeper. Now, times come when he is far away and I began to think of him as an observant person, supportive father and a leader that has one word.
One time, I looked at him looking at his people's work. He observes every move yet, no words are said. And if he is asked, he can say a lot of things about a certain person. I remember, I see him talk to workers and so, I realized his words are straight making him a good leader of businesses. My father is very supportive. There are times I ask permission to him and as long as I can do it, he does not go against, yet, he gives advise.
I apreciate his actions such as these. Because these things, these traits help us in life. And dad, he is a source of inspiration for all of us in this aspect. I love him as other daughters like me do. Because I won't ask another as he is anyway. A father he was, a father he will always be to me.

First Time? Strike Three!!!
Well, I got three stories today....
1st was about Chemistry. We have a rule that once you got low about the quiz in ions, you will stand or sing or dance. I was one of the lowest this Monday and was asked to stand. The next day, oh! my gosh! I studied hard yet I am once again at the bottom group, I mean bottom alone tis time. That's strike two. I worked hard again to study and luckily, I wasn't the last the third. That's what I thought at first but the next day, it was another strike after all.
Well, this is the second story, afternoon Friday when Tenten and Froiland told me and Justin that we are the contestants for Filipino. I was shocked because I wasn't prepared and they are going to ask us at the last hours. Well, Tenten had to go to Molecules and Froi to the try-out of basketball so we had nothing to do but to agree. I went there without knowing anything since its my first time joining. Well, I didn't take it seriously since Filipino for me is a tough subject. So then, I got 4 points out of ten at the first, 8 out of twenty on the secong and 18 out 30 the third. I was shocked when my name was called as fifth when the flag retreat came. I didn't expect that because I was just guessing the whole time but you know, thank God, it felt good.
I stroke the third this Saturday night in the debut of ny cousin. I wore that silly outfit chosen by my mother. I am not used to wear those kind of things. Well, I was one of those who will give a symbolic gift and tell why so. My mother so early bought already a gift, a glass, i don't know. Well, I was panning on other rhings but what can I do but to think of what to say already. There were other CNSHShians there so I'm a little bit shy that time on how I look. BUt good thing, I said something about that glass. Another thing I'm shy that time was I'm the tallest but I think I am the youngest. Well then, it's over anyway. What an experience! That's all I could say!
Well, full of 1st times yet could end up to the last beat. Yet, it could aso happen once more or even more than once but this is where I learn and this is where everything start a twist in a story.
