My tasks for today

The weather is looking good on this Sunday morning. Today should be a free day for most people, but not to me. I have many things to do today: First, I have to do our laundry. We have so many dirty clothes that I and my cousin are going to wash. My auntie will not be able to help us, as she has work until noon today. This will take us hours to finish our laundry, but we still have enough time to dry them when we're done.

Our second task for today is going to the farm. We'll have to gather logs for cooking. Perfect timing for this is in the afternoon. Right now the field is slippery, and logs is probably wet since it is morning and the sun hasn't really coming out yet. But you can tell already now how nice the weather will be today. So after writing this, we'll be heading to the river. According to my cousin, the past few days had rain, so people couldn't go to the river and wash clothes. They were worried that clothes don't get dry. I just hope it is not too crowded this time. So I'm going off now. Have a great day to all!

Going home

I am done with school for today. Since tomorrow is Sunday I decided to go home to Samar. I'm now here at the van-van terminal bound for Borongan. This van will leave at 5pm, so by 8pm I'll be home already. Maybe earlier than 8pm if the driver drives fast. I feel hungry, even though I ate lunch, I wanted to eat before I leave the city, but I had to hurry myself so that I can catch the last van going to Borongan. I'll just eat when I get home. My cousin told me on the phone that they cooked seashells, and vegetables.

It's been a while since the last time I had seashells. I can't wait to get home. I'm going to eat, and then rest. I brought my notes, so while I'm at home, I can review some of my notes for the exams on Monday. It is not really necessary for me to review everything, because we only have Q&A in speech communication which should be easy for me.

Thoughts

Good morning everyone! Today is Friday. I'm still in bed, no homework to do, so writing my thoughts right now is not a bad idea. Yesterday wasn't really a good day for me, it's been raining the whole time and flooding as usual. But now waking up and looking at the sky makes me think this is going to be a nice day. The sky is so bright today.

I could stay on bed until 4pm and then get up and get ready for school for my 5pm class. But I don't feel tired at all. I mean I had 10 hours of sleep, so that means I have a lot of energy for today. Maybe I do my laundry, but right now it is still cold and I'm not sure if I can wash clothes at this time. Also, I feel lazy for doing my laundry. My god, I really can't decide what I should do!

I haven't had breakfast yet. I want to eat pancake from Jollibee since I have some gift certificates here, still from my Valentine;s gift. I have enough certificates to eat Jollibee all week long, but I cannot keep up eating the same thing everyday. Well, final decision I'm going out and get some food from Jollibee. I hope everyone has a good day, or night, wherever you are, or what country you living in. Good luck!

Determination

The next examinations are coming next week, hence it's going to be a rough week for me. And it means I have to be in the city until the examination day is over. That is so okay with me. I have to review and focus on my study. This will be the pre-final examinations, I can't fail neither of my subjects. I think I will have to do better this time. I know, I can! It is just the P.E. subject that worries me. Until now I still cannot memorize the dance steps that we need to show next week. I don't know what to do with it.

College is never easy, everything is difficult, and stressful, but I think I can manage it. All you have to do is to be positive on things, and do as much as you can to overcome the difficulties you're dealing with. After you put enough efford in something, things will go your way as you want it, And so is studying. I'm thinking if I give up one of my subjects just because I find it hard to do, it means I am weak, and that won't help me to graduate. My course is only two years, one year of studying is almost over. I'm half way to fulfilling my goal, I'm not giving up. I can do this!

New haircut

It's been so long since the last time I had bangs. After 2012, I decided to let my hair grow longer. I got used to my hairstyle, but today I made up my mind to have bangs once again. I asked my friend if getting bangs is a good idea. She agreed to my decision, and since she knew how to cut hair, she suggested to do it so that I don't have to spend money to go to a parlor.

I like how she cut my hair. I have a new hairstyle now. Our class will start at 4:30pm, so I'll see my classmates reaction on my new bangs. I am not sure whether they will like it, though. Anyway, their opinions don't really matter. I just love how my new hairstyle looks like. I'm thanking my friend for her effort, and for not charging me for the haircut. She's good at cutting hair. In the future she could build her own salon business.

Killing a crazy dog

I am an animal lover and I don't like it when animals get killed. I also think it is against the law to kill a dog. But what about a crazy dog that threatens the safety of children? Is that an offense at all?

Here in our barangay, a few dogs got killed. People didn't kill them just because they wanted to. The dogs were crazy, and had bitten some people already. Even the new born baby dogs of my auntie's dog got deadly bitten by a crazy dog. Six puppets died. I was here that one night. I heard the puppets crying, and my uncle and my dad woke up to see what's going on. They tried to get the crazy dog, but it was not easy to find the crazy dog at night.

But later on, people caught the crazy dog and killed it. For the puppets, it was too late, they all died that night. No baby dog survived. I love dogs, I hate seeing dogs killed by other people. But it is better that the bad dogs died so that they cannot victimize other dogs or people. There are plenty of crazy dogs here in the province, and they even bite people when they come too close. I am against killing animals, but sometimes it seems necessary for the safety of all.

The Phillippines' Traffic Problem

Makati Traffic

Why is the traffic in some other countries lighter? Is it that because their driving skills is different? Or are their streets better? Or is it the number of cars that need to be lower? In many Western countries, the number of cars per 100 inhabitants is higher than in the Philippines, yet the traffic seems more cruel in the Philippines. It is one of the main problems here in the Philippines, especially in Manila. There are so many cars on the streets that you cannot go anywhere quicklym it will always take you long time. Workers sometimes arrive late at their work, because of traffic.

The president of the Philippines must work on this matter. I know there are solutions, it just needs a great leader to solve the traffic problem. He has done a lot in just a short period of time. Next should be the traffic problem on his agenda. I think if we have a new train system in Manila, traffic might get better.

I've been to a country which there is no traffic at all, the only time that the cars stop is when there is the signal light. It's the amazing country of Singapore. Plus, Singapore has an amazing underground train system (MRT). I hope Philippines can adopt some of Singapore's great policy.
