It has been a month since my parents, sister and I had started our so called diet or fit to a better life challenge. It is a bet where in whoever looses the most weight by the end of the year will win the pot money.
It has been a month of no rice purely vegetable and occasional meat. It has been hard to control especially if people around you can eat whatever they like but at the same time it builds my self control and self awareness. It keeps me conscious of what I eat and when I am supposed to eat.
Though it can be hard it is not impossible to do. At times I wish to give up. It may have started out as a bet but now I see it as an opportunity to be a better and wiser in terms of eating habits.
My dad brought us up to eat and love vegetables and I thank him for that because now I can apply my love for vegetables and easily push away temptation.
It’s the time of the year once again where every music icon and great music artists come together and celebrate each other. It is an event to watch out for. As artists perform and present awards to their fellow artists. It shows great camaraderie but a sense of competitiveness as well. Although they come from different walks of life they gather to celebrate the greatest music ever written and sung for the year.
Award shows such as these is a reason why I love music so much. It gives me a chance to see and hear artists of generations past as well as now. The music of different genres come together in one event and I get to see and hear it all. Collaborators are made and friendships are established because of music. A sense of self expression and setting oneself free. Music can do such wonders to a person without it I think the world would hit a standstill.
Grammys is without a doubt one of my favorite award shows.
Recently I have joined an org. It was my first time to ever join club or anything. At first I joined because of reasons that were so irrelevant that quitting has crossed my mind quite sometime in the process of my application. My application was so spontaneous and out of the blue that I decided to pursue at the very last minute. I was even debating with myself if I should join or just let it pass but with the help of my friend and cousin I finally gave in and continued my impending application. True enough I have not regretted my decision because I got to meet a lot of new people and experience a lot of what the nature especially the sea has to offer.
Though I have dived twice or thrice with the group I can’t quite explain the thrill that I feel whenever I am out there in the sea. Sometimes there would be strong waves and heavy currents but it has nothing to compare with the life you get to see underwater. It is like being transported to a whole new world. The colors and vibrancy of the sea life is so amazing that sometimes you get caught up and never want to leave but alas you have to breathe air once again and plunge it to the great wonders of the sea
Joining this org has been one of the great pleasures and decision I have made. I got to meet new friends at the same time got to explore the wonders of the ocean
Recently I have been quite busy with school and stuff but now I have to let this feeling out of my chest. I think if I don’t I am going to combust and feel horrible for the rest of the week.
Regrets- are things that you could have done it the past or present that you did not do or fight to do…
This is how I feel now I am regretful for not doing what I am supposed to do. Not fighting hard enough for what I want. Sometimes it gets tiring being the obedient daughter, you get frustrated that things can’t go your way and that you end up at the deep end and you can’t dig your way out.
Regrets are there to relive our darkest moments
But they are there to make us better and strive harder for the best

Never doubt your abilities because the only hindrance that stops your way is you. Believe and you will succeed.
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.
