A Summer Afternoon's Dream (continuation of "An Early Christmas Madeness")

two months have past since Christmas and I haven't had a conversation with "Santa" yet. For two months I've been waiting, hoping that even though Christmas was over he'd still find time to communicate. Days, weeks have all gone by. still no sign of him. it was a Monday,the 1st of march, I sat at our porch outside everything was so orange due to the sun's setting. I was there alone, every time I see people pass, I go low hiding and covering my ears through the use of my headphones and listen to music, calming ones, just to prevent my self from hearing harsh and untrue words the world says about me. Due to the music i accidentally slept. then I remember seeing something big but not reddish I could also remember hearing him say "did you miss me?" then i woke up. I looked around and concluded, no way that was just a dream! just a dream!, without hesitations I went inside with a smile in my face but still shocked. As I get inside i was again surprised to see everything inside was different of my sight! every single object was spinning slow, I thought i was dizzy but I'm not! I sat in the couch, relieving my self from what I'm seeing. So I closed my eyes, I reflected and remembered this is almost how he appeared to me before! I opened my eyes with a grin, counting from one to three, alas!! there he is!! leaning towards me, bewildered by my face, as i opened my eyes he laughed so hard that he almost rolled over the floor. he laughed for about 2 straight minutes then suddenly went straight face. there he talked to me and said the same thing in my dream. so i was like "woah did you just bring back my vision blah blah abilities?". as if he saw my mind he replied " it never left, it's just that it's not yet time to be used". After his statement it was all so silent even my phone went off! Then i asked him "what happened to my wishes?" But then i thought he did not respond cause after that my mom went inside to check if I'm asleep but then i acted as if I was. He just smiled at me as a reply probably he knew that I now know what happened. then he asked that one question he asked me besides the thing about missing him, What are your TRUE wishes now? and better be quick cause i might be gone in a blink he said thinking of the new place as a very stupid wish I just told him "I wish that you'd give me something to use in contacting you and two extra wishes". he did not say anything like your wish is my blah blah. he just gave my wish then left. I looked at the thing he it was a blue shiny covered box with a nicely done ribbon. i open it excitedly and found an i-phone i was shocked of course, it's like I've got to save money my "baon" for 2 years i guess just to have one but with a snap Santa gave me one. So anyways that phone has of course his picture on it and lots and lots of Christmas jingles and some songs. After a few minutes of exploring it i recived a text message and it says it's from Santa. the massage goes like this "Hw'S da pOn I gVe u? btW de oTHer xsTuff nEEded by DAT iS in ur rumIEe and i tUNeszz are downloded in ur lopt top. MwahUGhs" I was laughing so hard when i saw it saying to my self "wow maypagka jejemon pala si Santa" at least i'm not that of a hater. TBC...

Infatiuation? or True Love?

Many of us or probably most of us encounter such things, but do we know who's who?

can we differentiate infatuation or true love. you might have encountered true love but could you or have defined it?

HERE ARE SOME QUES FOR YOU GUYS:

* INFATUATION

1. you feel high or very energetic (due to the activation of your hypothalamus)
2. you feel that "kilig factor" or that "electrical chemistry" once you touch him/her

* TRUE LOVE

1. when you can't sleep, eat nor work.
2. you think of that person for the whole day.
3. you don't care if that person doesn't love you back, as long as he/she is happy with his/her life you'd be happy too.
4. when your feeling for that person never dies. example you loved that person since 1st year even though he/she broke your heart for two years your feeling would not withdraw or be gone, you still plan to court her on your third year.

this is just a summary of what you can get from Bo sanchez's book "HOW TO FIND YOUR ONE TRUE LOVE" though my source is Mrs. Yvette Miguel my cousin

summer's here! but what do i do?

Isn't it the season what we've all been waiting for. .well not all, but some of us probably does! if you ain't aware of it goodness you need a call back to earth! it's SUMMER.

Yeah summer the season of renewing our selves ,pertaining to my fellow students, from the pressure that the recent school year has caused us, it's also the season when some friends leave the town or even the country. Some come back some don't. but what really is it in summer that makes it fun?

Well, I think its what we do during such such period, season or time. So what's my point in writing this?

FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO DOESN'T KNOW WHAT IN THE WORLD THEY'RE GOING TO DO HERE'S WHAT =)

1.Bead some bracelets and sell them for charity. - you could do it with your friends, think of those people you could help as well as the money you could get =P
2. Clean your room!- summer's not just about going out, remember it's about renewing it could also be time to clean your dungeon like room!
3.Write a poem.- for those poetic people out there who likes to write, well it could be time for that bashing poem of yours to come out! look every where cause an inspiration might be lurking in the corner
4.Attend a workshop.-what ever that will be weather acting or what-so-ever go for it! nothing's wrong in improving your talents!
5.Make a mixed CD of your favorite songs and title it "The soundtrack of my life".-Musically inclined or not you could make one and have your own title that's just a sample
6.Jump in the pool with your clothes on.- if you wanna look hot and have a cool tan line you gotta do this! soo real.
7.Put on the radio and dance.-just get some groovin station like RX 93.1 >well if you have your station listen there I ain't promoting anything< and start dancing to the beat!

8.If you are into photography, you can use your camera for picture-taking with your friends. Choose a subject you would like to focus on. Do you want to take pictures of people? Do you want to take photos of scenery or objects? The internet has simple photography techniques, just be patient in searching. You can even ask someone knowledgeable about the field of photography.

9.During summer, it is nice to get physical. It is good to exercise more in order to keep the body healthy and resistant to disease and infection. Some companies put up sports programs for children, youth, and adults. These sports programs include leagues in basketball, volleyball, table tennis, chess, badminton, and swimming.

10.In the past months of studying, it is possible that you have already accumulated some memorable stuff like ticket stubs or playbills from shows, or some developed pictures. You can gather them and start a scrapbook. You can include these stuffs with the help of your creative juices flowing.

so. .there 'ya go that's my top ten hoping it helped your bored selves out there!

enjoy your vacation!

An Early Christmas Madness

I was sitting on our balcony one cold night. The place smelled so pure, so fresh. The feeling of Christmas is already present. As I was watching the trees bend to the wind’s direction, and as I watch the glimmering stars surrounding the moon across the night time sky. I heard people’s opinions, harsh opinions about me. I don’t know why but upon seeing me people just come-up with tons of negative thoughts. Maybe it’s because I don’t usually go out our house, but could I blame myself for being different? I know I can’t and shouldn’t blame them or myself for being a house-boy just sitting at our balcony writing useless things not actually useless but some expressive stuff. They can’t blame me if I’d want to stay home lock myself in my room listen to music, read a book, chat with my friends or perhaps write poems alone by myself. Why is it so easy for them to look at the negativity of others while they forgot about themselves looking ridiculously insane? How do they do those things, and look at others to low that what they don’t know is that they are lower than the ones they treat low? Well after a long time of reflecting passed. I’ve decided to change. To put off the jolly hyper person everybody knew the one that I think was loved my some and hated by most. I thought of staying there even just for an hour, but my mother called out for dinner. At first I didn’t respond. That’s what made her come out and ask me what I was doing. Anyways I promised myself that I’d go back there. After dinner I changed my mind. I’ve decided to just get my things then go to my room to write. As I was supposed to enter my room I felt cold air whoosh through the windows. I saw my phone blinking. I don’t even want to look or even get near that device. With the ample amount of light that came from my phone, I saw a very big figure in front of my closet wherein the light of my phone was reflected. I thought my mind was playing tricks on me again or maybe I’ve had a nervous breakdown upon my experience. Without further hesitation I went to look for the light switch. Then alas! Lights were on but the figure is gone. Nothing’s changed in there except for a note upon my closet’s door stating “you better not cry I’m telling you why cause I’m coming to your town”. Bedazzled, I went to get my Giordano box where I put all notes and letters that I get from people I know and sometimes just to cherish a note that was given by an anonymous . As I went to the bathroom to clean up I saw another note that says “don’t be sad nothing’s bad wait for me tonight don’t worry about your dad he’d be asleep in my arrival.” Freaked out, I searched the whole area but saw nothing. So after cleaning up I went back to my room and proceeded writing. But when I was supposed to dress up with my night clothes I saw a gift on my table. I tried to dress up first. Avoiding the temptation of opening it. After having myself dressed. I saw a mini snow globe. And it was noted by and from Santa Clause! In my surprise I jumped on my bed hit the head board and unfortunately fell asleep. After an hour I guess I heard someone’s voice that woke me up it was a deep voice but still very happy, jolly I should say, and calm. I remember hearing that voice on Santa’s replicas on stores. To know what it is I tried to look for the face. But everything was blurred. Upon recognizing the face I reached for the chin, but, I touched a beard!! I felt blood went down from my face I froze for a minute then went hysterical. Due to my innocence “I asked him am I asleep? Are you really Santa?” He answered with a laugh and said I’m awake and yes he is Santa. He told me everything, he saw me looking at the stars very upset and disturbed so that’s he went here and gave me 5 wishes. He even portrayed the look of mu school councilor upon giving me advises. He also gave me loose rules in my wishes. We talked about many things including the one when I was a kid and placed my wishes on old socks and hanged it on our Christmas tree. After that he became just like my father, a wall I could lean on, a rope I could hold on to, a friend I could lean on and depend on in these times. Then he asked me, what do you want to have for this coming New Year? The only thing I could think of is to isolate or just transfer to a new place a big and modern house near school, that’s what I told him.

how to prepare diff. test types. .

Like essays, teachers, and schools, tests come in all shapes and sizes, types and times, and preferences and methods. Some people love tests more than essays, while others would rather spend hours writing an essay than thirty minutes taking an exam.

The following are the main types of tests given in school and by the education testing centers:

* Multiple Choice
* Fill in the Blank
* Essay
* Matching
* Mixed
* Standardized

Given the numerous amount of tests and style of tests, you will inevitably discover your favorites and your strengths. Because of your persona insight to the testing style, you will study more or less for a specific type of test.

Here are some general guidelines on how to prepare to take a test in each style:

* Multiple Choice

With multiple choice tests, there is a method behind all testing techniques. It is important to remember that the correct answer is always within the answer choices. It is up to you to find that answer. Consequently, you prepare for multiple-choice tests by going over as much information as possible. Multiple choice tests allow for a wide variety of information to fall in the questions. You must be careful not to be tricked. Therefore, process of elimination is the best outlet.
* Fill in the Blank

Fill in the Blank tests are exciting, but less widely used passed high school. In these types of tests, you will not be given any information for the answer. Rather, you must know the information and put it in the blank space on the paper. The positive side of this type of testing is that it is not designed to trick you. The negative side is that you cannot simply "guess" and pick a random answer with a 25% chance of certitude. The best way to study for this type of test is by using flashcards.

* Essay

Essay tests are the favorites style of testing for writers, humanitarians, and more verbose students. They allow you to describe and explain the information you know as best you can. If you forgot a specific word or phrase, but still understand an idea or technique, you can write the explanation in an essay. However, be wary of writing around the subject. Writing around the subject in an essay is when you are unsure of the specific answer/topic, and consequently write a lot of other words just to fill in the space, hoping that the teacher will find something important within the essay. However, the problem with this style of essay writing is that teachers and graders can recognize a student's essay as knowing information or sort-of-knowing information. If you write thirty sentence about a subject and only one of them hits the bulls eye target, then your essay will not be scored well. The best way to practice for this type of an exam is to write practice timed essays. Sit down and write an essay about a single topic so that you have practice with the structure of the essay and the timed format. Nothing is scarier than sitting down on a test day and writing an essay for the first time.

* Matching

Matching tests are favorites of many people as they tend to be on the easier side. Like multiple choice tests, all answers are in front of you. You do not have to create information in your head or write a dissertation on a topic. You simply have to choose from the information given to you to see if it is correct. Be careful in matching tests because they are often designed to confuse the test-taker. Usually, one column has more options than the other, tricking the test-taker into selecting incorrect answers. Practice, again, is the best way to study and prepare for this type of test. Practice on old multiple choice tests and practice with flashcards.

* Mixed

Mixed tests combine all of the above styles of assessment. Review the previous techniques and combine them in order to find preparation aid in a mixed style of test. Mixed testing is a growing trend in schools today, as it allows all students to find success in at least one method of study.

* Standardized

Standardized tests are multiple choice tests, however, they come in an entirely new category. BookRags has several guides on each type of standardized test that can help you in your process of testing.

Remember, testing is a vital element of assessment and comes in various forms. Trying all of them will give you the opportunity you need to find your best method of assessment. Regardless of your strengths, you will inevitably need to develop the skills in each of these categories. Testing is a part of education. You will need to take and pass tests in order to advance to the next level. for more tips visit my other blog http://contain-etiquettes.blogspot.com/

How to survive tests!!

1. Get all test requirements ready beforehand – permits, relevant information (such as time, venue, and prospective changes in the test day), test day materials, and so on. This is to avoid all unnecessary and avoidable hassles when you are there and all prepared for your test.
2. Set your mind to never cheat. Just think about the costs of being caught, not to mention its effect on your dignity, reputation, and future.
3. Plan your personal study strategy. Set up a study area. Consider customized techniques depending on whether you can concentrate more with or without music, with things perfectly neat and organized around you or not, and such. Just make sure to make and keep with a regular schedule for your study periods.
4. Gather review materials. Sort out the most relevant ones to the less helpful ones. Get your hands-on information you think you still lack or need to know more about.
5. Have a peer review and/or join group study sessions. Discuss class lectures. Clarify lessons. Compare and share notes. Motivate each other to study.
6. Read, read, and re-read. Yes – at least three times. The first try is to familiarize yourself with the text and rule out misinterpretation; the next one is to understand your readings fully; and the last is to memorize. In fact, this is one of the rules in making your group studies successful – doing your own work in order to contribute.
7. Organize. Make your own notes. Make a reviewer for quick glance studies whenever and wherever you are.
8. Test your knowledge bank (I). Try to rewrite a copy of your original reviewer. Later see which details you have missed.
9. Test your knowledge bank (II). Try to recite your study notes from memory. No peeking!
10. Mock it. But not testing on a real copy of the test. Create your own mock test paper from your reviewer. You will be thankful for this additional review. Same process, same timing – recreate the same test venue atmosphere. Gather yourself. Imagine yourself taking in the pressure on the real test day – and succeeding in the situation.
11. Condition. Keep your health in great shape. Buffer yourself against self-inflicted nerve-wrecking and mental blocks. Adjust your habits at least one week before the test day. Get good rest, eat properly, and stay in a great mood always.
12. An exam day regimen: Dress comfortable but appropriately (if it’s not appropriate then you probably would not feel comfortable in it, right?). Finally, eating a protein-rich concentration-booster breakfast or taking a trusted prescribed memory-boosting supplement probably won’t hurt.

you were. . .

you were my sunshine
but now your gone
Away From My Heart
my world is now lifeless and full of darkness

i know it's not the end..
but there are no fishes in the seas that contain your
inner most beauty. .

endless lies fill my head
making me think it's possible . .
making it spark once more

confusing and most painful thing I'd ever do. .

I'd rather die a thousand deaths rather than to forget you
with my consent. .

i'd love you forNever . .

---------------NONE SENSE------------------

they think you're close
but i think you're light-years away

you nor for anyone else. .
