The Letter of Hope and Acceptance

                     The letter I read is about a man who reveals himself as a homosexual to his mother after he finds a safe haven in a city called San Francisco where they city accepts all. The letter then revealed why he didn't told the told the truth earlier but still showed respect and love to the one that gave all her hard work in and to know that he doesn't need to lie anymore. The way I read this letter I felt what he feels when writing it because he can finally tell the truth, and that feeling can be the same for other people like us when we feel isolated like Michael here.

                     We all get that feeling of isolation when the people around us gave us that look of disgust and aggressiveness to stay away from us or drive us away from our home just because we have something that they don't like like a weird gender or a disorder that only irritates a lot or just plain hatred over something either we or they had done. But there will be a time when we can overcome that problem and go the next objective. While reading the letter, I could pictured what world Michael is living in, as he lives in an era where homosexuality was either a new thing or where it was in the way of being a kind of disorder already or something that wasn't understandable back then, which I think it would be around the 1900s.

                     In the end of it, all we can do is to try to help a person who's got the same situation as Michael if we ever a person like him in real life. We can tell them that everything's gonna be all right, because they never knew how many people will support him or her in the darkest of times in their life. As we are just human beings with very unique and different sets of likes and dislikes, like being a bisexual like him and whenever we like things we can't even explain properly. As long as they're alright with and the rules of being a proper human being, we can all accept it in peace give love to those that deserved it.

Essence of Family Day in My Teenage Life

                     

                      Family Day is the day of the year when our family is brought together in our school for one big culminating activity here in ACT. Every year it would be different, like the theme which was tribal this year,  color of our booth and shirts, and obviously the grade level because this year is my last grade in junior high.

                   The day started off as always when its family day, it starts off at 1 p.m. with a mass to kick it off the afternoon. Then we had a Sinulog festival dance with all the grade levels with our props which were candles. After that we managed to settle down with ourselves in the booths and my other family members manage to came along as well and joined in separate booths with the others. We then had few selfie with each other like this one we had.   

                     After that, came with different tribal dances from different grade levels, ours was about two rival tribes finding a way to find peace between each other. During it I felt pretty useless because of the fact that I didn't anything except holding their stuff and watch from start to finish which was pretty entertaining to watch. After the entertaining dances from the other grades, it was finally time for dinner. Each one of us picked a place to settle down and eat comfortably. Don't mind the face I was making...

                    After the dinner my family needs to quickly go home a bit early so that we could feed our dogs. Sadly I would never know what happens after so I ask what happen to my classmates so here's what they said. They said there was a raffle draw which I forgot there was one a minute ago which happen that there was bet between my classmates and our science teacher which we won by winning the raffle, and the final was the awardings as to the best tribal dance which to my surprise was my batch, the grade 10, for 4 straight years my batch was winning the dances as one hell of an achievement. as for the experience, it was a good time to remember for the last few months of grade 10.

CAT camping

                       May camping sa lahat grade 10 sa paaralan sa linggo noon, at may pagkakaiba sa aking opinyon ito. Dahil may pangyayari ito na buhayin kaming lahat sa ACT campus, nagluluto ng mga pagkain sa mga iba't ibang platoon at naglaro sa mga gawain at katulad ng totoong camp, lagpasan hanggang sa gabi. Sa harap ng gabi, may mga huling laro para mabilis ang oras. Sa pagkatapos ng hapunan at maligo, magtipon kami lahat sa quadrangle ayon sa mga commanders namin.

                       Sa malapit ng hatinggabi, nakapikit tayo habang may mga ibang tao ay lumipa sa lahing lugar sa campus at kalmado ang lguar dahil walang tao ay makipag-usap dahil sa sabi sa mga facilitators ito. At sa pagsalit sa mga facilitators ng tanggapin sa ating panyo, ang unang kita ay mga klaso ko at ang ilaw mula sa buwan. Kausapin kami tatlo hanggang nagtiyak tayo ng humiga at manood sa langit para aabot na ang oras. Pagkatapos, nagsunog ang mga facilitators ng malaking bonfire sa gitna at natipon ang mga klaso at ako para malapit ang init. Sa lapit ko sa bonfire, iisip ko sa mga panahon na may masamang ito at aalam ako ay may sa nakarran ito at nagbalik ako sa aking grupo ito. At sa wakas nagharap ko para tutulog ako.

                       May sunod araw ito at naghanda lahat muli para luluto ng agahan. Pagkatapos ay may awarding ceremony namay maraming klaso ko ay kukuha ng mga awards ito. para makatapos ang camping, may group photo ito para tandaan na may nangyari ito. Sa wakas, may mbilis nakalimutan na may tandaan ito dahil sa pagbabalik ginamit ng mga gadgets namin at mga pagkain sa mula sa mga mall. Pero ang mga memorya iat ay hindi bilis nga kalimutan dahil may panahon ay siguro ng pinakahuling ito.
