" (One of...) My Stupidest Mistake "

(Second Essay in English 2 class)

                    Life is an everyday struggle of doing the right things. In my adolescence, I am in a real tight with Life's obstacles. I have made a lot of crazy things in the past. I am not even sure if it was a good or a bad thing. Since I was young, I was favored by my teachers (yep, it's in a PLURAL form) in my previous school. They thought of me as a responsible, hardworking, and obedient to the rules type of a student. Well, I agree with everything else except for the "Obedient to the rules" part. I don't exactly follow the rules but I do go around them as to not get in trouble with the SAO later on. It was not much of problem before. What I did was just some petty things but one. It was just me being utterly stupid and foolishly reckless.

                    In my last year in high school, my batch went to have a campus tour around the different prestigious universities here in Cebu. My section was separated from the others. We were riding a coaster together with our adviser meanwhile the others were riding the tourist buses. It was during on the ride home where everything happened. I was situated in the back side of the coaster together with most of the boys in my class. They are one of my closest friends. One of them pulled out a Nestle bottle with liquor in it. They were saying that we should have fun and be merry. That it was our last school campus trip and such. I was just sitting silently on my place for I was having a fever at that time while my adviser was situated in the far front of the coaster. They started taking a few sips and a whole lot of laughs was made. Everything was done in a hush way. One of the guys handed the drink to me. The others were against it saying that it was a bad idea. I didn't know what came into me that I took and drank it. It wasn't my first time though. We continued drinking until the bottle was nearly empty. Of course, our adviser noticed it due to the odor of the liquor. The incident was directly reported to the SAO when we reached back to school. My knees were shaking and my brain got haywire that I didn't know what was I supposed to do. My friends cared so much about me that they actually covered for me. They said that it was a return of my many favors to them. Because I was so scared at that time, I didn't know what to do and just did nothing. My mind went blank from all the things that was going on. I wasn't caught but my friends were. I felt so guilty that i was about to surrender myself but my friends stopped me. They said that it's not worth it. Rather than doing nothing and be completely consumed by my guilty, I just confessed everything to my mom. She wasn't mad. She was somehow even more delighted than mad or upset. She said that it's a good thing to do something reckless sometimes so that I would learn something valuable from it later on. That had shut me up. Yes, I have a very confusing mother but her words made me felt better. The school was such in a ruckus for around 2 weeks because of that incident. I tried my best to help out and had convinced my teachers not to expel my friends. Thank goodness, it worked (being close with the SAO Directress is so GREAT!).

                    I felt utterly horrible for doing something stupid. I learned my lessons. My friends and I went to separate ways but our friendship is still intact. (We don't drink in coasters anymore. We go to bars now xD). I am forever grateful for what they did. Friendship comes a long way it if is genuine.

Facing Death

(This is an essay I made in my English class)

In my seventeen years of existence, i have often thought of life after death. 

What happens after your last breath? 

Would there be heaven or hell?

Does Satan or Jesus Christ exist?

These questions are just a fraction of my thoughts in relation to death.

When I sleep at night, there is always this nagging fear about not being able to wake up the next morning.

I do not fear death but I am not ready to face it just yet.

Death is an inevitable event in life.

It is our endpoint. 

The Roman Catholic priests often speak of death as a path to the Kingdom of Heaven.

We must first leave our worldly bodies on Earth so that our spirits may be accepted in Heaven.

When I was still a kid (I still am one), I thought of death as nothing but a gateway to endlessness.

I had already accepted that fact.

Everything changed when I have actually faced death itself. 

In that time, I was simply taking a swim in the sea.

When I was about to go back to shore, I found a girl flapping her arms in the water.

I knew for a fact that that girl needed some help.

Sad to say, there was no one else but myself to help her.

I am not a great swimmer but I can't just let that girl drown right in front of me.

My mind went blank and my body moved on its own accord to go and save her, or so I thought.

It didn't go as I thought it would.

The next thing I knew, I was under the water and she was on top of me.

She was grabbing my arms and because of that I was unable to swim.

I tried to free myself from her grasp but my efforts were made futile.

When I was under the water, thoughts came rushing into my mind: "What will happen to me?", "Will I die without actually achieving anything?", "How will my family react?", and "Will it hurt in any way?"

It was really scary. 

At that time, I was on my last breath.

I had already accepted the drastic turn of events.

Thankfully, I was saved when I thought it would be the end of me.

Now, I have a new resolve.

I will become a successful engineer.

I will make my family and especially my country proud.

I will make a difference.

(What do you think about this?)

LoneLiness

Foolish people feel deep emptiness

that made it to such stupid loneliness

No happy memories came to disturb

this lonely feeling that is utterly absurd

May a warm sunlight rise

and chase away the blue aura that arise

What have i done (?)

What have I done?!


Today is the first day after the Christmas Holidays. When the sunshine came to share its brilliance to the world, everything went perfect. My day even started quite fine aside from the freezing cold water that I had for my bath. The cool breeze was pleasing to my senses. 

Everything went fine the whole day until now. When I arrived home, my luck just run out. I had to pay Php 300 for my puppy’s vaccine; I received loads of scratches and bites from the same puppy; I had to take and wipe out my puppy’s poop; my mom got mad at me again; and the worst part is, I think I broke my new laptop. I am so dead. It’s not yet even a year since I received it last summer 2011. I guess it overheated or something. What have I done? What should I do? How will I explain this? I am so dead. I beg you, can anyone help me? I beg for any form of help. Please.

It scared me a whole lot. Last week, my puppy also chewed my new Samsung earphones that my father gave to me. Take note: it’s new. And once again, I am so dead. And now, I might have broke my Acer laptop. What to do? What to do? What to do?

My mind just went haywire. Good thing I called out one of my friends—Rowelie Maiquez. She helped me out :D *tsk* I got to be more merciful with my gadgets somehow. I just need to solve my problems one step at a time. I awfully suck with handling stuffs. I don't know why but whenever I hold/touch something, it somehow gets broken. :c
