The beauty of M'lang North Cotabato

When I first came to M'lang, I was so excited because it was my first time riding an airplane and going there. My family is going there to visit our relatives on my mom's side. Riding an airplane is worse than I thought. There is no signal, no wifi, and my head hurts, but the view and the experience are worth it. The first thing that caught my eye was the environment. Surveying my surroundings, I'm captivated by the rural beauty that almost leaves me breathless.

This new place holds an irresistible charm that makes me yearn to stay here forever this is the time where i appreciate nature and see how beautiful it is since then i always enjoy the nature everywhere i go. I love how nature-loving people from M'lang are. Everywhere we go, I only see big trees like coconuts, different flowers, crops, and animal farms like pigs, carabosses, and goats. There is no tall building or department store you can see how visible nature is. I noticed that the weather in M'lang is very different from Antipolo due to the fact that it has intense heat and is sunny in the morning and afternoon, but around 4 p.m. It will start to rain until midnight.

On my second visit in 2022, the view still amazes me, it feels like the first time. But unfortunately, we visited there to see my grandmother one last time. It's not as joyful as my first time there due to the fact that I only met my grandmother for a short time and didn't know her at all, and seeing her off makes my heart heavy. I always regretted how I should have talked to her more and gotten to know her. At least she's safe now, with my grandfather and uncle. But we get to go to new places, like in NUEVA VIDA in MLANG, where the view is just breath-taking and you can only see trees and mountains there. The food there is so tasty, focusing more on fish and chicken. The next place we go is Panda Meal 2 & Refreshments, where we order crunchy fried chickens, salty fries, bulalo, and soup. So what are you waiting for? Come to M'lang, North Cotabato, to see a beauty not like any other and to taste a delicious variety of foods.

An example of a true narrative and my critiques of it.

* One of the Example of True narrative is Tuesdays With Morrie by Mitch Albom Essay

• Introduction

1. The gift by Mr. Dwyer

2. the title is all about "The Gift"

3. Christmas morning in his household resembled a mismanaged zoo where all the animals are let out of their cages at once. The opening of gifts accentuated the portrait of chaotic festivity. An amazing union of order and calamity was forged much like a bellowing wind choosing fire as a dance partner.

3. The child met his father's stare with a syrupy shame that dripped over his naked innocence. The father, however, had found the gift. He smiled at his son. As he walked to the stone he redirected his son's focus to the life within the pond. He climbed on the inviting cool granite platform next to his son and they sat admiring the pond as the father would have years before. He held his son, perhaps forever, in that hour and they were content to follow the movement of the trout as the oblivious band of shoppers hurried about them.

• Summary

*The story revolves around a father and son as they go to a shopping center during the holiday season, which is Christmas. The father recalls his childhood memories of Christmas with his big family while searching for a parking spot and shopping for gifts. When the father realized that his son was missing, he started panicking before finding him safe in a trout pond, which made him realize that the real gift he was looking for was his son. The main point of the story is the father's realization of the importance of cherishing moments with his son, especially during the holiday season, and the bond of the father-son relationship.

* The evidence that this is a true narrative is because of how detailed the descriptions are, like the events where the place occurred, which is the parking lot and store for holidays, another is the emotion of the father for his son.

• Evaluation

1. I love how the story is all about the father and son bonding together and how important it is for the tradition to be kept alive through generations. It shows how strong family ties can be and how a parent feels a strong emotion toward their child.

2. It relates to a broader issue of family dynamics and how parents relate to their children. It also highlights how hard parenting can be, balancing responsibilities, and having strong relationships with their children.

3. The writer's point or main idea was very clearly shown in the story, it creates a meaningful lesson for every parent and reader about how important a relationship with your family is and how it should be cherished.

• Conclusion

1. I agree with the writer that the family is important and cherished because, at the end of the day, they are still family. The part of the story that made an impact on me was where the father panicked about his son and came to the realization that his son was safe and a very dear gift to him.

2. Everyone knows that having a family that is very dear to us is important, especially those who are close to us. Yes, we argue, fight, and have misunderstandings, but we still talk things out and find a way to get along with each other.

3. I like the piece, especially the realization of how children are a gift to their parents and how much responsibility and care they have.

WHAT IS LENT?

For me before, I didn't even know what the meaning of that word was, but after I started an organization called Alagad ni Maria, I started learning something about it. It's ironic that I am a Catholic, and I don't even know it. I started to realize how Jesus saved us from our sin by dying, how painful it was, and the suffering he endured just so he could save us from our own stupidity. Lent is a 40-day period where people go fasting and praying for the sacrifice Jesus gave. This season shows how Jesus started his journey, how he died for our sin, and how he came back from the dead.

For me, lent is just not like any other season for Jesus, it shows how important our lives are to him, and that leads to the foundation of the religion Christianity, of which most Filipinos are one. What I did in Holy Week was participate in what most common Filipinos do, which is to do what they call alay lakad, which means offering to walk to recall and show respect to our Lord Jesus Christ and how he suffered, died, and was resurrected from the dead. At first, I thought it was going to be easy until I experienced it.

Another Memorable Experience

My work immersion era. As a student who doesn't have absences, I don't like missing a day in school because my mindset is that if I miss one day of school, there will be so much to do, like five quizzes or a summative test, and I don't want that to happen. Since my work immersion teacher announced that we would start on March 18, I was thrilled but also worried that I would have to miss so many activities and performances waiting for me.

Hearing that I will start to be deployed soon, my mind is full of voices that are so loud that I am starting to get overwhelmed. I kept thinking, What will happen to me in the Comelec? Will I need to socialize? Is it difficult? Will I miss so many activities? Will I pass this semester if I miss so many activities?. all that keeps ringing in my head that I can't unhear. 

My first day of work immersion was the best. I like what I'm doing, which is separating the papers per barangay. I finish first, so I help my other coimmersion students in filing, which is writing and writing, and I love it except for the fact that it's so cold that all I feel is numbness, and my hand is turning purple like a twilight sparkle. It was fun until the next day I was assigned to the certification area, where stress is all you feel. So many people are so impatient, and this is where you will feel under pressure. On the third day, I was supposed to be assigned to assist outside, but I didn't want to, so we assigned ourselves to where we wanted to work the rest of the day.

My Normal

Valentine's Day

Another day of love. I remember last year's Valentine's Day seeing people being lovey-dovey, being happy, enjoying themselves, and being with their loved ones. People giving flowers and gifts are all I see. It's normal for me because I always see it on Valentine's Day. I like seeing these things, but sometimes I also feel jealous. It's like watching a romance show on TV, and you already know that you are not going to experience that kind of romance in your life.

The little drummer girl

dancing in the light,

such dark magic,

the divide

A- ALLUSION- Her ability to look past appearances and recognize inner beauty was a really Belle-like trait.

N- ANASTROPHE- Her unconditional love for her family can't be compared to anything.

G- ASYNDETON- As she sees the beast, she screams, she curses, she runs, she hides because of what she saw.

E- ANASTROPHE- Backwards, upon her slowly walking, she tripped and fell, which caught his attention.

Hello everyone My speech is all about the LGBTQIA+ community. The truth is, being part of the LGBTQIA+ community is no different from any relationship it's not idiosyncrasy it's just two people loving each other, same sex or not.

As someone who supports LGBTQIA+, a reader and a watcher of boys' love, it helps me to understand their experiences that they have to experience, and it can help us normalize relationships that they have. I've come to discern that the experience of love in these relationships is just as profound, genuine, and beautiful as in any other.

Every time I watch a BL, I get a feeling of euphoria. It's like admiring someone for who they are and appreciating their unique qualities, not because of their gender but because of who they are. Some people are so enigmatic that they think it's not normal, but it is. In the past, being part of the LGBTQIA+ community has faced so much discrimination, marginalization, and inequality that even now, certain individuals still do it but still they are undaunted by loving someone.

Mikey and Lance are childhood best friends. After class, Mikey was about to go home, but Lance followed him so that he could invite him to go to the mall so they could have some fun and relax since it's already the weekend.

Mikey: Hey bro!

Lance: Hi bro, wassup

Mikey: I would like to ask you if I can invite you to come with me to the mall tomorrow so we can have some fun and relax since it's already weekend.

Lance: I must regrettably decline your invitation, for I have found myself engrossed in assignments and projects that need to be done and submitted.

Mikey: Oh bummer, come on man YOLO.

Lance: Im sorry bro, but I need to finish this, but don't worry, I'll text you when I'm free.

Mikey: ok. goodluck with your assignments and projects.

Lance: I'm really sorry man.

Mikey: its fine, there's always some other time.

Lance: Thanks for understanding bro.

A small drop of water touched my face, and in the next few seconds, I felt the water gassing like eyes pouring down on my body.

OLFACTORY IMAGERY

As I lean in to kiss her, the scent of sweet chocolate perfume passes my nostrils.
