Summer vacation is almost over but I must say this has been one of the best summer vacations I had.

I got to go to amazing places and saw the beauty of the Philippine Islands. I got to swim with the most amazing looking fishes in Bohol and I got to see their ever famous Tarsiers. In Cebu I got to see the old infrastructures and was amazed by how they were able to preserve the buildings and houses of the olden times. It was like we travelled to the past and got to see how amazing the structures before. Last but not the least was Davao our very first and last destination. My family and I spent our vacation at my aunt’s and cousins’ house. We did a lot of amazing stuff like: we rode one of the longest zip lines ever and then tried wake boarding  which was very exciting and then some island hopping and who would forget the beach.

When I returned home I was very much rejuvenated from our mini vacation. And then it was back to work for me. My work is something I look forward to every summer. It’s not just a source of income for me but I get to teach kids what I love to do: SWIM. I also get to meet new friends and reconnect with old ones. 

Now that summer is almost over I get to reflect and relish the memories that this summer had. Memories that I will surely cherish and keep for the rest of my life.

This summer has been the best vacations ever.

Yesterday our annual sports fest was culminated at Marikina Sports Complex. Every year of different courses attended, different games were played and tasks were done well. I got to meet a lot of new people and even got to catch up with the friends that I have.

It was a great way to meet and get to know people from different courses. Even though sometimes you have to lose we showed sportsmanship and camaraderie to our fellow players. 

I miss them but even though I’m far away I know that they’re going to be my friends for a very long time.

Is it really that hard to find a safe place to land
A place where you can be any one you want to be
A place you can feel
A place you feel you belonged
A sanctuary

At times I feel so lost in this world that I stumble and fall
Our world is filled with misunderstood people
Sometimes I’m one of them
Like I don’t really belong and people misunderstand me
You feel so empty and alone you want to cry

But sometimes you find it in unexpected places
And a place where I’m safe and loved is a rare place to be
And if you find it you’ve got to hold on to it and cherish it
Don’t ever let go

Facing defeat with courage and grace, that’s how athletes compete. No matter how hard the tests that they face they stand up with heads held high. May it be due to an injury or they simply had a bad day they  still keep on fighting.

Defeat does not mean your not good enough it simply means that someone was better and that there is still room for you to improve. Defeat does not mean questioning your abilities but improving them. 

Athletes face defeat every time they compete but it does not get in the way of their success it just makes them even stronger. It puts an edge to them to become the best they can be.

Defeat can work in two ways, it can either tear you down or make you stronger. It would hurt at first but you get used to it and then you would strive to be the best you can be. That’s all a person can ask for. We face our adversaries everyday but we learn how to overcome them with humility and courage.

Like Maria Sharapova and Rafael Nadal even though they have lost in the finals of the Australian Open they still fought and gracefully accepted their defeat. They kept their head high and congratulated their opponent.

It’s one of those nights again, having to pull an all nighter. Writing a paper with a coffee mug beside me. Finding the inspiration to finish my school work and a bunch of other stuff.

It’s one of those nights where you stay up late just to watch you favorite show, waiting for it to air on your local TV.

It’s one of those nights where you’re lying on your bed and a bunch of thoughts are swirling around your head and you can’t sleep

Suddenly insomnia starts to kick in and your mind is in overdrive and you don’t notice that it’s the crack of dawn already and you have to get ready for school or you’ll be late but you have to even though you haven’t slept yet.

Sleepless nights and coffee mugs is the place to be.

School officially starts today for the year 2012. It means the semester is almost over and that we barely have three months of school left. The past year has been a whirl wind but we made it that’s what matters right? It’s been another year, another set of hopes,disappointments, joy, heartache, and laughter. Merting new people in unexpected places and being the same person you were.
2011 may be in the past but every moment and time spent within it is a memory written,incsribed and imprited within you. It may have been something that had happend that helped you grow or an experience that made you a better person but whatever it was it made who you are now. Now that another year has passed all you can ask for is to be a better person than you were before. New years resolutions seems overrated when you can choose to change with the time that is given to you. You don’t need the new year to change.
Now that 2012 is here all we have to do is make the best out of it and be the best person you can be. Be your own person at your own time

It’s 2012!!! Another year has pass a new has come…Its not the end but the beginning of something new. Its not about making resolutions but its about making good decisions and making the best out of the yea to come. It being the best that you can be and being a better person you were before. You don’t need a new year to make resolutions or to make promises but to reflect and to make yourself a better person than you were before.

So make this year count. Make it a better year than it was before. Make every moment count.
