Your Friend and My Friend

Things are never quite as scary when you've got a best friend.

Bill Watterson  

            A friend is a person who's always with you. He inspires you by the way he move. He gave you advises in every problem that you encounter in everyday life. You are not you when you don't have any friends. They are the key to help you know who you are and they complete every piece of you.

            So what's the difference between a friend and a best friend. Your best friends know you very well. They know you from head to foot. They also know when you have a problem and how you deal with it. So when you can't pass the challenge anymore they are here to help you passing it. They know how to deal with it especially if its your problem. They can make you laugh even in simple jokes. They can make you cry in just a simple arguments. Simply, you can't live with your best friends even your friends.

            So our friends should be treasured. They are very important to us. They are like the cheese in the cheeseburger. You can't call it a cheeseburger if it doesn't have any cheese. Just like you, you can't be called with your name, if you lack your friends and best friends.

How I Want to be Remembered

          Every person wants to be famous. They want to be famous in whatever they can. They want to share what they can do and inspire many people with their skills, talents and even values. They leave their legacy to ever person's heart that make the people think of what they can do.

         I'm just a simple person. Living everyday waiting the opportunities to come. I'm not that smart and I am not an athletic person but I want to be remembered by persons around me. I want them to remember what I did for them. I want to make them think what will happen if there is no Ashley Bardaluza with them. I will inspire them with all I can. I will give them advises that they will bring and they can use in every problem that will came to their life.

         That's how I want people to remember me. I want them to feel me. But I should not only think of myself, I should also think of the others living with me. I should also remember them in what they did to me. Because we should remember all the important persons that came, come and will come to our life.

Until Death

          My mother was born on February 3, 1960 in Guinayangan, Quezon. If she's still alive she's now on her 54 years. She was a cute and cuddly girl when she was born. Even though they are many in the family and came from a poor family, she still went to school and studied very hard. 

          She met my father again after few years but my father already have children. Still, my mother loved my father till her last breath. Even though she didn't finished her college, she still find a way to earn some money and to help my father. 

          They created their own family until I was born. She inspires me in whatever she do. She gave me advises that helped me to know who am I. Now, that she already passed away, she still continue inspiring me because when she's still alive, she's very proud of me. She's a woman that can't be forgotten. In my heart, I can feel that she's there helping me to strive harder each day and to pass every problems that will came into my life.

          She is my mother. She is my inspiration. She is my hero. She is Jocelyn Bardaluza.

My Three Stages of High School

On my first year of high school
I am very hopeful to meet new friends
And at least have a best friend
That will always be by my side.

We learned a lot everyday with fun
That's what we always say.
At first, we feel very pressured
And we always wanted to stop

In every time we feel the pressure
We know it will change pretty soon.
With the help of our teacher who always there
Make us confident in every day.

Every minute in school is very fun
In each time with your friends
We make great memories in everyday
Wasting it don't enter our minds.

But whenever each quarter came 
Our feelings all became one
The feeling of guilt not to study
And being nervous of our grades.

On the end of school year,
We are all blessed
No one will go
All of us will stay.

Excitement thrills me on my second year
To meet new batch of my classmates
And also my new service mates
That give me joy and laughter

It feels like this will be the best year of my life
There are issues and intrigues came,
But nothing blocked our way
We just learned lessons from it.

That's why we are all now awake
Awake from the world we are moving
We brought the academic and life lessons
Waiting for the time we should apply it.

A new chapter of life closed
And now enter a new page
I am now a junior
Survived two difficult years

I became a person who treasure the time
Thinking what will happen before moving
Feel what the other will feel
And make my dream experiences come true

Now I know why high school life is the best
Because we learn from this stage
We learned how to move in the real world
And this wake us to move.

Oh High School Life

          "High school days are the happiest days of my life." That is a familiar quote that we always hear from our friends, family and relatives. That is what I have also experience for the past two years in CavSci. For the past two years, I experienced fun, excitement and pressure. Learning with fum is the best especially when you are with your friends.

          The school year started with joy and excitement. I was very excited that I can't sleep the night before. I was very excited to see my new service mates, new friends, new classmates, new teachers and the new appearance of the school. When I entered the school, the nervousness attacked me. "What if my classmates don't like me?" Those few words entered my mind. I met my past year's classmates, walked inside the campus a bit when we hear the shout of the officers. This is it, this is the start of the new school year. The first flag ceremony started and ended that I did not talk. Well, that is an achievement for me. The first day ended with laugh and learning. The second and third day past and the real me came out. I became cheerful again and friendly. 

          The first week ended. My goals are now set: to study well and to make some friends. I want this year to be my best. I want this year to be memorable for me and also for my friends.
