Last year was really uneventful for me. I am living in a city that has so many good restaurants and yet I always stay at home doing nothing. So one afternoon, me and my friends decided to try one of the restaurants here in Marikina.<br />

Rustic Mornings is a one-of-a-kind resto where you can relax and enjoy the feeling of being one with nature. Once we've entered the place, I just stood at the entrance and spoiled my eyes with their enchanting setup.<br />

I started being a fan of Japanese food because of my Japanese students. Whenever they tell me during our lessons about what they have eaten, I would always feel frustrated and excited. Frustrated since I cannot eat Japanese food everyday like they do and excited because I can go out at least once a month (during payday).<br />
<br />
Last Sunday (09/07), I decided to treat myself to a good dinner. I was with friends and we were at SM Megamall. The restaurants were packed since it was dinner time. We went round and round the mall until we found Osaka Ohsho. Luckily, there was still a table available. The only table left unoccupied. Thank God!<br />
<br />

<br />
One of their staff was kind enough to lead us to our table. He immediately handed their menu and was very polite and friendly while he was taking our orders. It took us a while to choose what to eat. We were very exhausted because of the almost unending search for the "perfect" restaurant to dine in. Good heavens we found Osaka Ohsho.<br />

Here are their sauces. The one on the left is spicy sauce. The middle is their original sauce and on the right is miso flavor sauce. I decided to mix the original and spicy sauce for my gyoza because I don't like miso flavor that much. I also used the mix for my tempura. You can mix all of them if you like or ditch the spicy sauce if you're not like me who loves it extra hot. (winks)</div>

I was with my partner-in-crime, my housemate, and she decided to have the Mango Yogurt for her drink. I tasted it and it was deli. Expect the usual mango shake taste with a little hint of yogurt. Honestly, I didn't get the yogurt taste at first but if you are very familiar with it, you'll notice it.</div>

<br />
I chose the Strawberry Passion Fruit Fizz for a change. I usually order mango shake when eating out so I decided to give this a try. Its taste is a little... strange. Well, at least for me. It's a hodgepodge of flavors. There's strawberry, passion fruit, soda and there was also a cherry on top of this drink. I was not able to finish this not because of its taste but it's gigantic! Next time I'll share it with a friend. haha<br />

<br />
This is their famous Gyoza. According to my students, Gyoza originated from China. So, if you haven't tasted Gyoza and ate siomai before, they're not so different. Their major difference is the shape. Also Gyoza's taste is lighter (a little bland) than siomai.<br />

Here's my all time favourite, Sukiyaki! The quality of the beef was really good. I remember choosing the beef slices and putting them into my bowl.

Another fave is tempura. We ordered the Assorted Tempura. I was a bit disappointed because it's too expensive and yet too little. It includes three pieces of ebi tempura, 3 or 4 pieces of breaded mushroom and some kind of fillet. I'd probably never order this again if I go back there. The taste was a little bland compared to other tempuras I've tasted.<br />

This original Chinese fried rice was really good! At first I didn't like to eat rice since I'm on a diet but this is too good to ignore. I ended up eating a cup of it and just didn't mind the tightening of my pants. (hahaha)<br />
<br />
Th experience was incredible. If I would rate the food, it would be 4.5/5. The service was amazing. With the friendly and accommodating staff, what could go wrong? I'd give them 5/5 for that. Also, they have a 10% service charge. The price of the food was more expensive than other restaurants but given the food and service they offer, it's worth it . So if you're planning to eat here, just expect the food to be pricey. Prepare your palate and at the same time your wallet. ^_~<br />

I realized I've been working for 6 days straight and I figured I should take an off from work. So I did.<br />
<br />
<img alt="" src="http://megaworldlifestylemalls.com/main/static/uploads/images/Eastwood-City-Night-031.jpg" height="426" title="megaworldlifestylemalls.com" width="640" /><br />
<br />
Today's my first time in Eastwood City. The place was really nice. It's the typical business center with a lot of tall buildings surrounding it. There are numerous restaurants as well and of course people rushing to their work.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
We chose Eastwood since we agreed to go to Karaoke. I did some research and found out that we can go to <a href="http://www.redbox.com.ph/locations/eastwood-mall/">Redbox</a> at Eastwood mall.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://photos.wikimapia.org/p/00/00/74/95/07_big.jpg" height="450" width="640" /><br />
<br />
<br />
Upon arriving at Redbox, we were immediately greeted by a friendly staff. She asked us to read the house rules and oriented us about the penalties if ever we damage something (better watch out Nami hahaha). They were so accommodating that they even let us have the room even though we were 15 minutes early.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
The room was cozy and spacious enough for us. It was at first hot (because the aircon was just turned on when we arrived) but it became very comfortable later on. The lighting was just right. It was neither too dark nor too bright. All in all, the ambiance was really pleasant.<br />

The food there were really yummy! We ordered Sizzling Sisig, Crispy Calamares and Stir Fried Beef Tenderloin Tagalog. Since we availed their Happy Hour schedule, we got 2 free drinks per person. We chose iced tea and San Mig light beer. All the food we ordered were delectable but the sisig was my personal pick.<br />

I can say that 4 hours of non-stop singing was more than enough for me (especially that I was the one singing most of the time. hahaha). I was a happy kid when we left the place and I'd definitely go back when I get the chance and money. I am a little disappointed because I was not able to take a lot of pictures. I was too excited to hold the microphone hahaha. Maybe next time?<br />

I visited Siquijor on October 2012 (if I remember it right). It was a field trip and we were tasked to investigate about local myths. We had to ask some locals what they knew about mythical creatures in that place. Of course, we did not just go there to do some interviews but also to enjoy. We enjoyed going around the place and we got to stay there overnight.<br />

This picture was taken inside the boat we rode on our way to Siquijor. I was really horrified by the fact that the seawater was banging the window of the boat. The boat was swaying crazily and to think I was by the window was just simply terrifying. Luckily we arrived safely.<br />

Upon arriving at Siquijor, you will see this very old Church. We arrived there at noon so it was pretty hot and nobody was around the area. We took some pictures and went to our next destination.<br />

I so love nature! When I saw Siquijor, I already knew that I was going to fall in love with it. We rented a multicab so that we could go around the place. We went to Mt. Bandila-an Nature Park and it was a paradise. I love trees and cold places so it was a perfect place for me. Just a reminder, you need to have strong knees to climb the steps. </div>

This convent is known as the biggest in Asia. Augustinian Recollects began constructing it in 1857 and was completed by Filipino artisans in the year of 1884. Both Lazi Church and the convent were declared as National Historical Shrines in 1970s.<br />

Of course we did not forget to buy some souvenirs. I bought personalized pencils for my siblings, local delicacies for my mother and friends and I bought a shirt for me. There are not so many stores in Siquijor but I remember we stopped at a certain store which sells love potion. A classmate of mine bought one but I don't know if it worked. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I can't quite remember the places in Siquijor but it was a hell of an experience. On our way to the port, we saw women dressed in white in the woods. They were carrying torches and it was like a procession. It was very creepy I couldn't look at them for a long time. </div>

Overall, it was a great trip. I was able to enjoy Siquijor and its trees, mountains and scary stories. If I have a chance to go back, I'd definitely go there again. </div>

When my father died, people were
really shocked and surprised on how fast I moved on. I smiled and laughed with other people. I showed them that I was okay. Seeing me like that, they said
that maybe I didn't love him that much. Maybe I was too young to understand. Maybe I hated him for not being the father I wanted him to be. <o:p></o:p> I was eleven at that time.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The truth is, I tried not to
care. I tried not to think of him because it hurts me. I wanted to be angry
because he left us, he left me. I wanted other people to see me as a strong and
independent person because that’s what I have to be. Even my relatives hated me
for being that way but they didn't know that I always weep every night. I cry
myself to sleep all the time because I couldn't bear the thought of being alone
and not able to see the man who would cradle me when I’m sick.<o:p></o:p><br />

During the morning, I was the
superwoman everyone dreams to be. I consoled my mother and siblings. I attended
to their needs. I went to school and tried not to mess things up by crying. I
tried to be normal. At night, I was a vulnerable and miserable little girl who
just wanted to be comforted by someone but wasn't able to receive that from
anyone.<o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I did my best to move on from
that dreadful experience. I busied myself with school works and tried making
friends. I joined clubs and organizations to distract myself. However, I think
the negative feelings inside me kept me from being happy. My tears would
suddenly fall from my eyes unknowingly. So I struggled hard to bury everything
deep down my consciousness where I can’t reach and remember it anymore.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In our household, we barely
celebrate my father’s birthday or even his death anniversary. I don’t even
remember my mother insist of doing so. Thence, we became accustomed to let
August 17 and October 11 just pass by. On the other hand, I, myself, still wish
that my father is still with us. I have a lot to ask him. There are a lot of
things I want him to prove to me but they are now useless because they will
forever remain unanswered. I just have to accept that he is not coming back
ever, not anymore.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I still adore my father even
though he was not the perfect father. I learned from him that men do cry. He was
the first man to cry in front of me. I have learned that no matter the
struggles between a husband and a wife you will and always will attend to your
responsibilities as parents. That a parent can commit mistakes but in the end
they will still choose family over anything.<br />
<br />
Lastly, I learned that the most
important people in your life die to make your life easier and to make you a
better person. Because in the end, you will be a wiser person who understands life
in a much better perspective. A person who will fully understand the meaning of
being alive. A person who understands the cost and importance of having someone in his/her life.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
Are you about to take an exam and don't know what to do? Nervous that you will mess things up and forget everything you have studied for the past few months?<br />
<br />
<img alt="" src="http://hwstheherald.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/end-of-semester-student-studying-finals-week-grading-essays.jpg" height="511" title="hwstheherald.com" width="640" /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
Here are the things that you can:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 36.0pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify; text-indent: -18.0pt;">

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 36.0pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
You should
know what activities or plans you have to do before taking an exam. It is
important to be aware of your schedule so that you can study worry-free. You
wouldn't want other people or other things distressing you while you’re concentrating.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 36.0pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: justify;">

<!--[if !supportLists]-->2.<span style="font-size: 7pt;">

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 36.0pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
This way
you can monitor and check what to do everyday. Plan ahead of time so that you
wouldn't have a conflict in your schedule. If you see that it is already study
time, follow your timetable. Being responsible is part of preparing for the
test. <o:p></o:p><br />

You must be
prepared upon entering the exam room. Most of the people who took examinations
failed to answer properly and become frustrated when they discover that the

You would
want to create a list because it is tiring to scan a book or your notes over
and over again looking for important details to remember. Highlighting is
helpful but in some cases, it will just confuse you. Try making an outline, listing out all the important notes you want to remember. This way, you’ll be
able to pull the note out easily and study anywhere and any time you want.<o:p></o:p></div>

Most of the
time, people who are about to take an exam forget to eat enough. Eating less is
not helpful especially if you’re going to a mind battle. Using your brain is as
tiring as physical activity. Sometimes it is more tiring, so eat a healthy
diet. You wouldn't want to miss the exam because you fainted while in the
middle of answering. Do not forget to take care of your body.<o:p></o:p></div>

This is
very important especially if you are preparing for a very long exam. Losing
hope or being demotivated is the last thing on your list. You must go out and find
something that will keep you going. It can be your parents, friends, lovers or

anything that inspires you. Do not lose hope and give up. Just think of the
reward that you will get after finishing the exam.<o:p></o:p></div>

I know it
is impossible for you to relax especially if your exam is near. However, if you
are always worried about it you will not be able to focus on studying. Calm
down. It’s not the end of the world. You are just going to take an exam.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 36.0pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: justify;">

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
We have different styles in approaching or dealing with a
problem or a challenge. Remember that taking an exam is just like your everyday
life. You wake up and prepare for the challenges of today. You encounter
difficulties, but in the end, you’ll survive because you were prepared and you
know inside you that you have the ability to accomplish your goals.<o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
I was supposed to sleep this afternoon but couldn't. So I decided to do something that I love to do ever since I was a child. Singing!<br />
<br />
I still remember that my first earned money was through singing. It was during Christmas vacation and my aunt told me to sing in front of our relatives and she'll pay me. I was not a shy girl and I eagerly obliged. They were laughing at me because I was ruining the song. I was 5 years old then. hahaha<br />
<br />
After that incident my mother made sure that I practice singing. By the way, my mother is really good at singing. Well, she is not a diva but she does sing well. Going back, I practiced and practiced until it came to the point that singing became my hobby, pastime and favorite activity.<br />
<br />
<br />

Music was my only companion when I was alone. It made me feel happy. I cannot imagine my life without music. I'm probably dead or I've gone crazy if music didn't become part of my life. Until now, music is one of the things that keeps me going.<br />
<br />
So I feel that I have to share this with you. Be my critic but don't be too harsh. I am not a professional singer. I just sing because I want to express how I feel. Music is definitely a lifesaver.<br />
<br />
Here's my cover of the song Stay With Me by Sam Smith. Hope you'll enjoy!<br />

</div>
I have been an ESL tutor for more than 3 years and I often hear from my students how places in Japan are so wonderful. They would usually mention interesting places to visit, food to eat or things to know about their country.<br />
<br />
So I created a list of the things I love about Japan.<br />
<br />
Check these photos out and you'll totally agree with me that there's so much to like about this country.<br />
<br />
1. Harajuku<br />
Harajuku is the center of Japanese youth culture and fashion. This is where you'll find cos-players and strangely cool people wearing outlandishly colorful clothes.<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://livetaos.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/colorful-harajuku.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" /></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Harujuku</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
2. Hanami<br />
One of the reasons why I want to go to Japan during spring is the Cherry Blossoms! Who wouldn't want to sit under the tree, drink some sake or beer and dream of something nice?<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="http://jetaasouthisland.files.wordpress.com/2013/08/hanami.jpg" height="359" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="jetaasouthisland.wordpress.com" width="640" /></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Hanami</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
3. Temples and Shrines<br />
The places look so serene. You'll feel relaxed just by looking at the picture. No wonder a lot of people visit Japan for these.<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://allcastle.info/assets/images/foto/167-2.jpg" height="480" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="640" /></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Kinkakuji</td></tr>
</tbody></table>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Ginkakuji</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
4. Traditional Houses<br />
There is something about traditional Japanese houses that draws me to them. I often imagine myself sitting in a corner of the house or at the front door. It makes me feel relaxed.<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="http://hietx.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/traditional-japanese-home-exterior-fascinating-traditional-japanese-house-exterior-and-garden-ideas.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="hietx.com" /></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Traditional Japanese House</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
5. Horror Movies!<br />
Who doesn't know about Japanese horror movies being scary? I love to watch them because they are really scary not like other lame horror movies.<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="http://www.horror-extreme.com/Content/images/asian-horror/ringu-1.jpg" height="359" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="www.horror-extreme.com" width="640" /></td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Ju-on</td></tr>
</tbody></table>

6. Utada Hikaru<br />
She is a very lovely Japanese singer and I admire her voice a lot. Her song, first love, became famous in the Philippines before but I didn't know that it was her who sang the song.<br />

<br />
7. Sukiyaki<br />
When I first tried Sukiyaki, the first thing in my mind was, "What a strange taste it has!" But when I tasted it again, that's when I discovered the richness of the flavor and totally fell in love with it.<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Sukiyaki</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
8. Nihongo<br />
One of my wishes is to learn how to speak Japanese. I want to watch anime without glancing at the subtitles! And of course, I want to speak to my student in Japanese.<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Hiragana</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
9. Kyary Pamyu Pamyu<br />
She is just sooo cute and she's my age! Her MVs are also weird and funny and that makes her unique.<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Kyary Pamyu Pamyu</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
10. Courtesies<br />
It's funny but whenever I see people bowing I imagine something would follow (Samurai fighting! hahaha). It amuses me and at the same time it makes me think that people doing it are royalties.<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

15. Mt. Fuji<br />
Climbing mountains had been my hobby when I was a kid. I just love the cold air touching my cheeks and the feeling that you're on top of the world.<br />

17. Fuji-Q Highland<br />
I once saw a video of a group of Koreans riding the roller coaster in Fuji-Q Highland and from that moment, I told myself that I'd go to this place in the future. I don't know. Maybe there's something about being on top of the world. It makes you feel scared and at the same time ecstatic.<br />

18. Traditional clothing<br />
It is not just the design and print that I like about this clothing. Dressing a person with a kimono is a very strenuous job. I really admire people who wear kimono.<br />

<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
Love is patient.<br />
If he/she is not patient then it's not love. Fights are inevitable in relationships especially if you encounter unexpected difficulties and challenges. Expect that there are some differences between you and your partner and learn to accept and live with it. You might think that you've had enough but if what you feel is real, love will be there and will always remain. Collect yourself and realize that everything shall pass.</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
Love is kind.<br />
Putting your partner's welfare instead of yours is one sign of love. Every little thing matters especially to a person who truly loves someone.</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
It does not envy.<br />
Competition will always be present in every relationship. It is present among siblings, friends and even lovers. Keeping the competition alive is helpful in making the relationship healthy. Being competitive will motivate you. However, always keep in mind that a competition will never be good if it's not a healthy one. Learn to be happy for someone's achievement and help each other.</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
It does not boast.<br />
Being proud of one's achievement is righteous. Boasting one's achievement in a sated manner is shameful.<br />
<br />
It is not proud.<br />
Love is unobtrusive. Loving a person means being subservient. It means giving up your own needs for the sake of your partner.<br />
<br />
...and most of all Love never fails.<br />

Loom Bands or Rainbow Loom is a plastic loom used to create colorful bracelets and charms. It was invented by Cheong Choon Ng in 2011 and circulated all over the U.S. and Canada by 2013. As of 2014, Rainbow Loom has reached even the Philippines and caught the attention of not even the children but also some famous celebrities.<br />

</tbody></table>
<br />
<b>It is easy.</b><br />
Making a loom bracelet is easy since everything is provided. You don't have to go through the difficulty of stretching and weaving the bands because there is a plastic pegboard and push pin-type pegs that will help you loop and pull the colorful rubber bands with the use of a rainbow loom crochet hook.<br />
<br />
<b>It is addictive.</b><br />
Making loom bracelets and charms is very addictive that some people even fall asleep while making it. The steps are repetitive and you can finish it fast allowing you to produce several pieces of accessories.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>It is fun.</b><br />
Everyone can make loom bracelets and share it with their friends and loved ones.<br />

<b>It is fashionable.</b><br />
Since you can mix and match different colors of bands, you can also match it with the color of the dress you are going to wear. It can go with a summer dress to a sportswear. You can even create a dress out of it.<br />
<br />
<b>It is an expression of one's self.</b><br />
Combining different colors of rubber bands and even coming up with ideas other than bracelet is a way of expressing one's creativity. To some, it is just a piece of woven bands but to others it is a piece of art originally made by them.<br />
<br />
Whatever reason people have for crazing over these tiny colorful bands, in the end it's all about having fun. It's all about the happiness you feel when you see the finished product on your arms glistening like a rainbow.<br />

<br />
<br />
Is there a fast way to learn English? The answer is yes.<br />
<br />
Most of us think that everything is difficult. Either it's learning a new language or choosing a product to use, everything is difficult because we think it is.<br />
<br />
So how do we learn English fast? Here are some tips.<br />
<br />
1. Be Confident<br />
You are trying to learn not to show off. It is okay to commit mistakes especially if you're just a beginner. Don't be shy just because you can't pronounce a word correctly. We have all been in that stage.<br />
<br />
2. Don't rush.<br />
Forcing yourself to learn English fast will not help you in any way. Take it easy. Take it slow. Fast does not mean you'll learn the language in one day. Everything has their own time. In this case, it depends on you when will you be able to reach your goal.<br />
<br />
3. Self discipline<br />
Do you really want to learn or you just don't have a choice?<br />
The desire to learn should be there. Teach yourself to make time for your studies. Include study time in your daily schedule and do your best not to skip it. There are so many things you can learn in just one day.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
4. Remember<br />
Studying is useless when you don't even remember a thing about what you have studied. Review your previous lessons. Take down notes. Learn new vocabulary and practice using them in your own sentences.<br />
<br />
5. Practice, practice, practice<br />
Putting what you have learned into practice is the most important key to learning. Like writing, you won't be able to know if you are good or not at it if you don't write.<br />
Talk to people who know the language. Communicating with other people will help you enhance your speaking and social skills. It will help you grow and gain confidence. And lastly...<br />
<br />
6. Trust yourself<br />
Everything will be useless if you don't believe in yourself. The result will depend on no one but you. Do not blame others if you think you are not improving. Do your best and try your hardest. Because in the end you will be your number one critic.<br />
<br />
Just follow these tips and add an extra amount of motivation and you're good to go. Be patient because success does not come easy.<br />

<br />
It haunts me<br />
I can see it in your mouth, in your eyes and in your hands<br />
It always taunts me<br />
Sending chills onto my bones.<br />
<br />
It travels back and forth<br />
Appearing at any time of the day<br />
I don't know how to stop it<br />
I don't know how to catch it.<br />
<br />
How I long for it to disappear<br />
To travel so far away<br />
But like an epitaph<br />
It is etched and will always remain.Namihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12854181876772219400noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5024009057114725537.post-86445546355464316112013-08-22T17:15:00.001+08:002014-09-02T10:30:33.878+08:00How to Handle Jealousy<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Jealousy is a very common feeling of a person who is being threatened by someone else outside the relationship. Jealousy can also occur in workplaces or schools among workers and students. It is a very influential feeling and also a very destructive one.<br />
<br />
Since we know that being jealous is very inevitable, we must know how to handle jealousy and how to fight it.<br />
<br />
<b><br /></b>
1. <b>Understand the feeling of being jealous. </b><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">Understanding what you're going through is very important. Be aware that you are being jealous at the moment. Ignorance might be a bliss but not all the time. Too much jealousy can ruin not just you but also your partner or other people. You never know, you might be annoying to other people because of your behavior.</span></b><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">2. </span>Where is it coming from?</b><br />
----Why in the first place are you being jealous? Should you really be jealous?<br />
Fighting jealousy is a very difficult thing to do. However, it can be really simple and easy if you will just be honest with yourself. Most of the reasons why people get jealous is because of their own problems such as insecurities, anger and fears. Knowing how to handle these things before jealousy get you can be really helpful.

3. <b>Examine.</b><br />
Now take a good look at the situation you are in. Examine yourself and your surroundings. What are the effects of being jealous to you physically, mentally and emotionally? Are you also causing problems and affecting other people's lives as well? Be aware of the effects that jealousy has brought to you. And...<br />
<br />
4. <b>Resolve.</b><br />
You know that jealousy cannot give you anything but headaches and heartaches, so you must really learn how to handle jealousy and fight it. Believe in yourself. Know your weaknesses so other people can't use it against you. Individuals have their own set of flaws and capabilities. Nobody is perfect indeed that's why it is okay for us to make mistakes. Love yourself first before you request other people to love you. Lastly, other people can't make you feel miserable if you won't let them.<br />
<br />

Been like this for quite long<br />
Don't know when this agony be gone<br />
Expecting something that I don't know<br />
When I know there is no hope.<br />
<br />
Each day and each night<br />
Your face keeps crossing my mind<br />
Even banging my head on the wall<br />
Just to stop this madness going on.<br />
<br />
I don't know when or how<br />
I don't even know if I can<br />
Still, while questioning myself<br />
I felt that forgetting you is the last thing in my head.Namihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12854181876772219400noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5024009057114725537.post-80119102301684947302012-08-29T13:17:00.001+08:002014-08-22T22:28:22.709+08:00NATURE AT ITS BEST<br />
I've been living in this place called Brgy. Sta. Rita for almost ten years and it is so funny that I do not know much about the place. Recently, I got the courage to go and see the "enchanted" and beautiful waterfalls in our place. I was afraid to go there before because of the rumors that there are supernatural beings living there. A scaredy cat I was, eh? <br />

The name of the waterfalls is Kanyawa Falls. I do not know who owns the land where the waterfalls is located. It is quite far from the barrio proper and you have to walk for about an hour to reach it. If you are not patient enough and if you do not have strong knees, better back out because you have to walk and climb steep and rocky course to be able to reach it.<br />

<br />
I enjoyed the adventure though it was tiring and challenging. I would definitely go there again and again especially that they (the owners) are planning to improve and develop the place. I hope there will be a farm-to-market road soon so that people will not have difficulty in reaching the Kanyawa Falls.<br />

<br />
sorry if i kept you waiting in the middle of the night..<br />
sorry if i didn't tell you that i wasn't coming<br />
i know it was so selfish of me to not tell you..<br />
i kept you expecting the thing that will never come..<br />
<br />
<br />
i know you felt terrible <br />
i know you were angry with me that night<br />
so here i am now..<br />
trying to apologize..<br />
<br />
<br />
it wasn't my intention to let you feel miserable..<br />
it wasn't what i wanted for you to feel..<br />
you know that you are so important to me..<br />
so please, will you forgive me? <br />

It is really difficult to express everything in our head especially if we don't have a lot of friends (like me haha) or if you are the type of person who doesn't like talking very much.<br />
<br />
So I learned about blogging and thought that I can give it a try. I don't know exactly how to do this but I won't lose anything if I'll give it a shot, right?<br />
<br />
With this, I might be able to express myself, share my ideas and maybe inspire other people.<br />
<br />
Cheers!<br />
