No Closer Bond

Having a sister as my companion, as my beast friend, and as my safe haven is what I am most thankful of, well, after our parents of course.

When I am struggling, which is more on being dramatic in everything, I always run towards her. Unlike other sisters, my sister does not console me with pity nor sweet words, rather, she would show me reality. She may not be the sweetest sister ('cause like she's bitter with M) in the world but she's the coolest and do I need to mention, the craziest of them all?

She experienced worse events than I do and met varieties of people than I do, that is why she is always there to guide and protect me so that I will not experience what broke her before.

People love comparing us, that I am smarter, that she is more talented, that I am more cherished, or she loves to over react and other useless things, but I can confidently say that I am cuter, no just kidding. Actually we don't care what other people say, "she" doesn't care what the bees are buzzing. It may be true that one of us excell in something but we respect, accept and support it.

"Life's too short to wear boring clothes"

What you wear defines who you are, so wear what you want to wear and be yourself. Your style is a way to say who you are without having to speak.

I'm posting my OOTDs to show my own style. I really love choosing what to wear from different variations of clothes and do mix and match! 👚👕👖👠

I can't afford expensive ones so most of my clothes are thrifted and bought online where there are big discounts and sale 😂🛍. I always buy the ones i like especially when it's limited (no 2nd thoughts) and I always go broke over the week just to shop for clothes 🙊. For everyone's information, I usually buy my clothes in "Shopee". It is a popular online shop here in the Philippines. Not only do I shop for clothes, but also for bags, shoes, jewelries, electronics, and many more. The price of my clothes usually ranges from 45-500 pesos only.

Summer is fast approaching, in a few days later we will be embracing ourselves in calmly breezing waves of the sea. Every time I’m looking to it, all of my worries suddenly fade away. The ambiance is just pure and natural and it makes the view more beautiful as sightseeing.

And it payback times, reward yourselves and let us all enjoy the summer!

A Dream That Landed

By: Fiona Carusca

I was dreaming to work up in the sky,

Flying so high as high as an airplane.

But I realized I dreamt way too high,

All those hopes crashed and felt a million pain.

I've always wanted to wear that white shirt,

Launch a plane and let it dance in the air.

But mom sees me in whitest white scrub suit,

Attending tons of patients, giving care.

Up up and away is my little dream,

But then I guess that it will never be.

Seeing and enjoying those little beam,

TRAVEL IS MY HAPPINESS!

I lack of self-confidence. Many may say that I look beautiful and talented and I should be proud of it. But I lack the courage to show it. I am afraid to show it. So why do I lack self-confidence? Why am I afraid to show myself and my talents to others?

At a very young age, I was always tagged as “cute”, “pretty”, “talented”, and etc. My mom always wants me to join contests and pageants when I was young. I was not used to crowded places that’s why I trembled and got nervous everytime I joined contests. These trembles and nervousness also were the reasons why I end up as a loser at every contests I joined. I never won any contests I joined as solo performer because I was afraid to come out.

These trembles and nervousness are still present up to this day. Whenever I perform at an audience, I sweat, stutter, tremble and my tummy turns upside down due to adrenaline. Although my self-confidence develop slightly through time, but it is still not enough to make me come out of my shell and be confident with my own talent. I still joined auditions on reality shows on TV but still, I didn’t even make it.

One of the reasons why I became so afraid of showing my talent is because of people’s judgement about you. They always look for your errors and say something bad about it. I once got this kind of treatment to the audience on one pageant that I joined and it really hurt my ego. They laugh at my stutter and my unsure answer on the Q and A portion but they don’t know how nervous I was back there! They were even biased since the only person they cheered was their friend. They just looked for errors every candidates and they believe that their candidate was superior to us all. After that pageant, I never joined any pageant again.

There was a point in my life that I really quit on believing on my dream as a professional singer on TV. I always want to become like Sarah G. someday! But because of my inability to perform in front of many people, this dream will just be an idea on my imagination. I just focus my life on studies which I think would be better for me. I abandoned my dream just because I am afraid.

#StudentNurses

You think all student nurses look good in these uniforms, don't you?

How neat and tidy, clean and smart

But behind these pretty faces are stuggles to find ends meet.

Let me tell you our story;

During vacants, we nap and eat our snacks. Mostly spend it playing spyfall and boring games, but not for us. Sometimes, we cry on public bathrooms and smile after "freshing up,"

when classes began on the month of June no one thought that the people beside, or even the ones behind them will also start to create memories that will last till finals or even the year after.

Its funny, some don't like the other, i guess intimidated by their character or just so, but months passed by so fast and these not-so-stranger-seatmates-anymore became the best of friends- unseparable & #hungry.

Those sad and angry faces began to get to know each other in such unexpected ways. Started with unplanned university parties, birthdays, group activities to sneaky night outs, movie theatres, and dirty groupchats.

These people helped me so much than anyone will ever know. This year was difficult and definitely a challenge but months were never boring with friends that will lighten up your every morning.

So, my advice to you, find friends that will contribute to your growth. Because in this course, there is no time to waste on people that will not stay with you in low and hard moments. Choose your friends wisely, or better yet, let the best people find you in your unplanned & boring days.
