"I TRIED.."

"Swimming!!"

2008-03-30T19:16:00.000-07:00

Hi guys!! I told you yesterday in my post how I love swimming! Well speaking of swimming, we went to Coral na Bato to swim, of course and to have a memorable part in our vacation with our Ninang Grace.
We were the first to arrive in the resort, so we're the first ones to swim. We wore yellow shirts that we made! I enjoyed swimming in the pool that have a mushroom with dwarfs on top of it! Me and my brother tried to touch the end of the pool with our feet in the air. So, we were up side down! It's fun to swim! Well, for me. When I'm 7 or 8, my father already taught me how to swim. It's like I'm playing in the water. But as my mom says, "Hindi mo pwedeng kalabanin ang tubig. Kasi ang tubig hindi nagbibiro." She means, when, you're drowning, it doesn't mean that the water is just kidding and anytime, it can stop drowning you. So my mother actually, don't want us to swim without an older person that knows how to swim that can watch over us. But I usually, sneak out and swim by my own! Some persons don't want to swim because, they nearly die on it. They're afraid that they might get drown again. But for me, even if I got drown several times, i never hated the water and I never hated to swim. Because sometimes, they can't understand that the water is helping you to overcome your fear. And your tears can't be seen when you're in the water.
Anyway, my brother didn't swim that much again, because his foot was wounded. It keeps, bleeding. So he's just watching us swimming. I love to tease him. But he's just the only one that i can swim with because all that we want are nearly the same. We both love playing PS2, we both love music, the movies, the songs, the artists, and many more.
So after swimming the whole day, it's time to take a bath and have a rest. When we got home, I slept! We're so tired! But before I sleep, we played basketball!! Hehehe!
So bye guys! Have a happy vacation! And God bless us all!

Batangas.,.

Hi everyone! It's been a while since I posted my last post. I wanted to share with you guys the story or the events that happened to me while I'm in the beach. We stayed in Batangas for 2 days. There's so much fun because the last time that we went on the beach was October 2007. Anyway, we took so much pictures. My brother didn't swim that much because he always read, like me but not that time, and sleep. We also went to the deep part, where we're riding boats. And we jumped into the water. Fortunately, I know how to swim. I love swimming actually. It's my sport. Because, when my father taught me how to swim, I love it since then. Because if I swim, and I float, it makes me feel comfortable. If I'm under the water, no one noticed me. No one noticed my failure, and no one noticed that I'm crying if I'm in the water.
Anyway, I saw corals. But my other cousin, didn't jumped off the boat. She didn't know how to swim. And there's so many fish. A school of fishes! and the corals have different colors. It's so wonderful! Imagine that the Philippines was blessed with it! But corals were minerals, and minerals are irreplaceable. And our corals are fast decreasing because of the fishing way like using dynamites. The fishermen should have the knowledge of protecting our bodies of water because they're using it as their financial of food and it is where they take place their job! So we should take care of it!
So, when we went back, we ate and sang and told stories. It's been long 2 days for us! You guys should try it sometimes! It'll be fun if you're with your family! So bye guys! God bless us all! Ingat!

-Vacation-

2008-03-17T00:53:00.000-07:00

Hi! It's already our vacation. It started last March 13. I already miss my friends. Our teachers. And the familiar faces in our school. I've been missing my chair, our room and everything.
Actually, this vacation gave a good news and a bad news. Good news- I will become second year high school this coming school year. Meaning a lot to learn. And the bad news, I will never see my seniors friends. =( Haiii,,., I already miss them. They mean a lot to me, because, they hep me in times of difficulties. Well, I guess, I will see them in the future but not that often. Maybe every weekends. But they promised me, that they will visit us.
Stepping in the higher level of my life or of my studies is harder. It means, so much to learn, So much to do. and so much effort that I'll need to exert. And of course,responsibility always counts. Everyday means, I'm being older and more problems will face me. But everyday, I'll meet new persons that'll help me. Haiiii!!!!!!!! But I thought with myself that being old enough is also a good thing because, everyday, I'll have different realizations in life. Hehehe!!
So have a happy holidays guys! Have a blessed vacation!!

-February 11-

Hi!! February 11 is my birthday and last Feb. 11, I had my 13th birthday!! Finally, I'm 13, I can't wait to be in that age!! Because most of my classmates are already 13 last year!! And of course, 13 is the age that you're included in being a teenager!! But I hope you're not mistaken. I'm 13, but I have a mind of 11 years old!! LOL!! *laughs* I received a bear and a towel from school. And of course my friendships (best girlfriends) will not forget to greet me! My friends used to tease me and say "Uy! Dalaga na siya!!." But for me, being one of those teenagers, means that more and more responsibilities will come to you and more challenges, problems and fights to face.
In the past 12 years that I have live, especially the past 2 years, I had faced several problems that I can't solve without the help of my parents, or any friends. Sometimes, you don't have to solve the problems by yourself. Remember that there are still people that want to help you and care for you. Because sometimes, all you gotta do is to swallow all the pride that you have and ask help from the people that surround and love you. Just remember that you're not the only person in the world that have problems.
Anyway, in my mind being 13 is not easy. There are many things that can change in yourself, even your attitudes. You change because you learn, but sometimes you change because because of sins. Everyday, there are learnings or realization that we can learn. Because everyday, we're doing both wrong and right things. And I wanna share a realization that I learn from the past days.

"IN SCHOOL, WE LEARN BEFORE WE TAKE TESTS. BUT IN THE REAL WORLD, WE TOOK THE TEST FIRST, THEN WE LEARN."

-Science Congress-

Hi there!! I'm Lourdes, a new blogger.. Well, not new exactly, I had my other account but I failed to maintain it. So I created a new one.

It's fresh in my mind! Our Science Congress!! We had been in St. Paul Bocaue on February 13-16. It's my first congress, I'm included in IP.

My first day was fine, but I didn't make any new friends. :( Many orientations were held on the first day. There were so many rules and regulations to follow. Yeah like, you're not allowed to stay awake 'till 12 in midnight. You can't stay long in boy's room, you're not even allowed to linger in the boys corridor!! Same to boys. Of course we have to follow these rules. And our phones should be silent all the time. It's so hard to take a bath at mornings and evenings. There were more than 1200 students in the place!! How could you possibly take a long bath?

Exploring the school, I found it a beautiful place. There's a pool. A theater. And all the rooms have 2 air conditioners!

My second day was fun, but still, i hadn't found new friends. The second day was February 14. It's hearts day!! St. Paul San Miguel, agreed to wear black, so all of the students in our school wore black. It's Black Valentines!! On Valentines day, I missed my friends, my mom, and my siblings. Everyday, I'm texting them, but, they're in school, including my mom because she's a teacher. In the evening, we watched 2 movies entitled, October sky and .....? I forgot the title of the other one!! Hahaha!! But, I didn't understand the movie cause, I'm texting my friends. When my friends and I, were bored, we went to the pool. We didn't swim, we just played with the water and took pictures with our young teacher. The day had been great for me, except that some boys tried to get my number!! But I didn't give it of course!!! And I went to ed.

In the third day!! I met some new friends!! But my 2 friends in my school, and me, as well as the others had a fight. Were 8 girls, 6 of us, including me were together and the other 2, got mad?? Anyway, of course, me and my girlfriends, found some cute boys!! Hahahaha!!! And some of them are alike of our friends in our school!!! :) Hahaha!! So, this day was the best for me!!!

In the fourth and last day, it's bye bye new friends!! And bye bye Bocaue.. It's awarding day!! We got the 2nd place in our IP and all the researchers were excepted in the final exam in science!!!!!! Yehey!! Hahaha!! In the afternoon, we said goodbye with our friends!! And goodbye Bocaue!!! It's been a great congress for me!!

Another place, another adventure, another friends, and of course another realization: "MOTHER EARTH IS MUTE!, WE SHOULD SPEAK OUT FOR OUR NATURE." I hope you get it!! :)

Bye for now!! Good Evening!!!
-Lourdes- xoxo :)
