The Cleanup of our Community

This month, my classmate Johvan and I decided to do a clean up together because we both lived in the same town, which is Poblacion West, San Ildefonso 

We ended up doing it in the middle of the day since we woke up later than expected and completely missed the scheduled cleanup drive in the morning. At first, we were a little disappointed for not being able to join everyone else on time, but instead of letting that ruin our day, we decided to go ahead with our own activity. Even though we weren’t exactly sure what we were supposed to do, we laughed a lot along the way, trying to figure things out as we went. Surprisingly, the uncertainty made the experience even more enjoyable, and we ended up having fun simply because we didn’t know what we were doing.
 

My Reflection of the 1st Quarter in Grade 10

 This quarter has been stressful especially the week when it's time fr periodicals. We had so much to cram, and was trying to catch up to the deadlines, like our film for english which we tried to film in Plaza Burgos.

Even our teachers were trying to catch deadlines like us. But nevertheless, at least I had my friends to suffer with me.

If I had any regrets this quarter, my first one would be declining the position of being a P.O (Peace Officer) because I didn't really like taking responsibilities. But when a guy from our class who wasn't really behaved won, I regretted it so much.

My second regret for this quarter would be me not pushing my idea of doing the "Lazy Song by Bruno Mars for our performance task in Mapeh.

But instead of this, my groupmates who were online at the time picked "Let Down" by Radiohead 

We ended up not practicing the song, and not everyone of us vibed to Let Down, so our performance was a mess.

Although this happened, I still enjoyed this quarter because of my friends being with me.

than the song we ended up with.

To address these challenges, I tried to rely on my friends for support and encouragement. Working with them helped lessen the pressure, and I learned that sharing ideas clearly and standing up for them could avoid regrets later on.

Moving forward, I will be braver in accepting responsibilities and more assertive in suggesting ideas. I will also practice managing my time better so that I won’t have to cram too much at the last minute. Most of all, I will continue cherishing the support of my friends, because they make even the most stressful moments bearable.

And as I'm finishing this blog, it is currently  3:07pm, and watching Kimetsu no Yaiba.

My Experience During Nutrition Month

 During this time, I helped my classmates sell food because there was a competition between sections on who would sell the most food that is nutritious. 

I also tried to support the ones who went to a regional competition for the Nutri-Jingle, and won 3rd place. I was very happy for them, especially my friend, Yvez.

When she missed classes for practice for the nutri-jingle, I would always give her the notes that I had written. And if I missed classes because I was sick, she would take notes for me like I did with her. In addition, I also helped my sister for her nutrition month event at Duddley.

Despite my experience not being as eventful as the ones who had participated in the competitions, I still felt comfort because I had my friends to enjoy the month.

The Things I Love and Hate

I used to have hoop dreams until I found out there were other ways to score. 

In other words, I used to dream about living carefree and just reading my BL manga books, danmeis,

 baihes, and just playing video games like Roblox, 

and Grow a Garden...but then I found out how I can live that life when I grow up. and that is through studying and landing a good job with great pay so I can read all the stories I want. I like to think these stories make me want to live more years to see more stories unfold within my very eyes and within someone else's life. I love stories so much because every single one of them is different no matter how similar they are. 

the stories I like the most are father and daughter duos because I always wondered what I would have grown up to be if I had been raised if my father were present.

Growing up, I didn't really like that my father wasn't present because I always saw other kids with both mothers and fathers at their side. So, I had always asked my mom where he went, but she always dodged the question. If I had a chance to meet my biological father, I would first slap him and ask questions with the answers I already knew. I would ask him why he never paid child support, because I could have really used that to buy myself some more school supplies. In conclusion, I have a love for stories, and I probably hate my dad.
