Collecting stuffs

I love collecting different kinds of stuffs. I started collecting these items when I was still in elementary. Because my friends or classmates like giving me gifts, letters and other things, I realized that maybe I can keep them as a remembrance from them and maybe as my collection. I kept them in a safe place where I can assure that no one will be able to touch them. I separated these items in terms of their kinds.

Collecting stuff toys is my shall we say a “hobby”. I had my own collection of stuff toys there in our house such as teddy bears and many kinds of animals such as cat, dog and deer, but my most favorite among them was my puppy stuff toy. You know, I love dogs. I find them very cute and lovely. Every time I see these cute little stuffs, I feel so happy and my day would be complete. Every Christmas day or New Year or even my birthday, I always receive gifts from many people that’s why I like these days because the gifts or items they’re giving me can be added into my personal collection.

I am also collecting letters or anything that serves as the remembrance of that specific person. Since I received many letters from my close friends, I just kept them in a box where I put my collection of letters so that when I want to remember the past I’ll just read it again and their I can feel the moment we had at that time. For me, letters are very important especially when it contain meaningful words that can touch your heart. For these letters can give you different kinds of emotions. There are letters for friendship, family and love.

If I were to chose what I want them to give me, I would tell them to give me anything they can afford, the important thing there is that they made it personally and they put effort in making it. That would really impress me if they would do that. I accepted anything they would gave me because I knew they really cared for me. This only happens once in a lifetime, right? We don’t know when will these things stop so like what they had said, “strike while the iron is hot”..

One reason why I also love collecting them is because these things are very important to me. I want that someday or in the future, I can go back to the memories in the past by looking at the things I had collected and then I would say or I can really say that collecting these kinds of stuffs is worth it and I will have no regrets in doing so.

Collecting stuffs is fun if you just put it in heart. You don’t have to buy the things you want to collect just to complete your collection. You don’t have to spend too much just for this. How about you, maybe you have your own collections too? Or if you don’t have, start collecting now and you’ll find it very nice especially when these stuffs come from you loved ones.

Watching Movies

Watching different kinds of movies is great. You can learn many things whether it is bad or good. It just depends on the kind of movie you are watching. Well, what can you get from watching those movies? You can get many things from this like; if you are depress or you have problems in life, you can forget these for a while and you’ll feel better. You can watch movies also if you do not have anything to do. Of course, one of the best friendship bonding is having a movie marathon in your house. You can even have a new friend after watching movie together right?

When talking about watching movie, it does not mean that you have to go to the movie house because we all know that the ticket is expensive. Maybe if you are rich, you would always go to this place but some rich people I had known, preferred to watch a movie in one of their friend’s house than in the movies house or cinemas. They had rather spent their money for the food than going to the movie house. There are also people who would enjoy watching movies in the movie house or cinema than watching in the house because you can feel the story of the movie there because the screen is wide it looks like you were there exactly at the scene you were watching.

When you want to watch in your house, you can rent CDs or if want to own one, you can buy a copy. Many people would buy a pirated CD than the original one because it is very cheap compared to the original one.

Not all people like the same movie. Of course, we had our own likes and dislikes. Me, I want adventurous and funny movies, and of course the love stories. Many people like love stories especially hen they are already in love. Isn’t that true? Some people do not like these stories because for them, they are corny. These people like funny movies. They want to laugh all the time to forget the problems they had. Some people also especially boys, likes adventurous movies. Their favorite scene is the fighting scene. There are also people like me who like to watch all these kinds of movies. For me, watching all these kinds of movies will give you different kinds of emotions.

I had a friend who is not fund of going somewhere else except in school or other important places. She likes watching movies in their house that is why she is updated when it comes to movies. She likes funny movies and fairytales or movies that are fiction. She can even memorize the lines delivered by the characters because she repeatedly watched it. She watched a movie many times. She is very cool. She likes movies with musical.

You can bond also with your friends by sharing the movies you had already watched or the movies you had watched together. Sometimes, my friends and I bond by telling or sharing the movies we had watched and the moments we had while watching it. But mostly, we were recalling the funny memories happened at that time. We laugh and laugh that’s why the place we hang- out was full of laughter.

That’s why it’s good to watch good movies that are best for you.

Appliances

We have a lot of appliances in our generation because of the modern technology we have right now.

For me, the common appliance we have is the television set. We people like to watch movies or shows that are seen in the television especially Filipinos. Filipino people like to watch soap operas or dramatic shows; there are some people who want to watch wrestling/fight scenes and sometimes comedy shows. Television also can serve as the communication between the government and its people. Like the media, we heard news about the happenings in our surroundings and the government. If you want also to have an update about your favorite artists, you can have them by watching television. If you want also to know the weather in your city or province, you can be informed by watching the weather forecast in your televisions at home. You can watch also the shows of your favorite artists. You can even see the music videos. You can also see the advertisements of your favorite products. Television is very useful to us.

Computer also is very useful especially in our works and in our studies. That’s why schools are teaching us to know how to use the computer because it is very useful to us. Without it, we can’t do our works faster. Computers are important to students like us who are still studying for our researches and assignments that we have to computerize. Computers are very useful when it have internet connection because some of our assignments need the internet that’s why you can see a lot of students going to the internet cafes for their research because they don’t have computers at home. Computers are also for fun. Boys like playing on-line games that’s why even early in the morning during schooldays, you can found them inside the Internet cafes playing games. I knew many people who are now addict to computer games that are why they were sometimes scolded by their parents. Internet has a big influence to young people. You can find nude videos and sex videos that serve as bad influence to the young people. You can get a lot of information in the computer especially when it has an internet connection.

Electric fan also is very useful to us especially during summer because the weather is hot. Air conditioner also is better than the electric fan because it gives you colder air. Of course, I can’t live without refrigerator. We can store the food there so that it will be cold. I like to drink cold water or cold drinks because it is refreshing. Other foods also are put there to be preserved such as meat and fruits. If you want to be entertained in your home, DVD player is a good appliance for you. You can watch a movie in your house by this player. And if there is a television, there is also a radio. Actually, radios can be found in the provinces because they don’t have television set there. Radio is their alternative for the television.
Appliances are very important to us in our daily lives because it helps us in doing our works or jobs.

Summer is coming!!!

The end of the school year is very near and the summer is coming. Some schools had already ended their classes while some schools don’t. Only classes end but the works are still going on. Our parents and other mature people are still working and can only rest during Sundays.

Many of us like the summer because we can already rest and do what we want but for some people, they don’t like summer because they have nothing to do and they can’t see their friends. They don’t have any allowance because allowance was only given during school days. Of course they don’t have money, they can’t buy what they want. Some people also want to have summer jobs for their source of income. Some are having summer classes in music like violin, piano, guitar, drums and voice lesson. Some also are having their summer classes in academics so that they will be prepared in the lessons for the next school year. There are people also who don’t want to have their summer classes because they want to enjoy their summer by staying at home or going to the beach.

People like sun bathing especially the foreigners. They want their skins to be the same as ours, not so white and not so dark. Going to the beach during summer and have some swim is enjoying because you have no worries anymore. You won’t be worried with your skin to be sun burned. Some teenagers also would like to go to the clubs or bars to enjoy their nightlife. Resorts and clubs/bars are full of people visiting in these places to have some rest and at the same time to forget all the problems they had. Summer is the season where they earn much money.

If you want to go to the beach resorts to have some scuba diving, snorkeling and surfing, there are beautiful beach resorts here in the Philippines. You can find them anywhere. The most famous beach resort here in the Philippines where many foreigners like to go is the Boracay. I think why people like to go there because it is all in one. When you want to have your nightlife, you can go there because there are many bars there and restaurants. You can choose whatever you want. You can enjoy their white sand also and other services you want. There are body massage, foot spa, and hair spa if you want to have a beauty rest. It is a very beautiful island but at the same time it is very expensive. The payment their costs dollars plus your ticket for your travel there. I think only rich people can go there anytime because they have much money.

If you want, there are many beach resorts that were not yet discovered. I’m sure that there are many beach resorts here in the Philippines that were better than Boracay that were not yet discovered by the people. Someone had told me that the beach somewhere in Mindanao is very beautiful and has white sand.

There are also gigs if you want. Famous bands are there in the gigs.

You can do a lot of things during summer that’s why many people are very excited for the summer to come.

Memories

What are memories? Memories are remembrance or recollection of the things or events.

It’s good to bring back the wonderful memories you had in the past, you would laugh but there are also sad memories that you don’t want to remember. These memories can make you cry. There were some instances that you don’t want to remember the past anymore because you had a very bad experienced that you want to remember it as a nightmare or you want to tell yourself that its not true, you’re just dreaming. You want to erase the memories in your life which are very hard. Sometimes, we remembered the bad things than the good things we had.

It’s not that easy to erase or take away the sad memories you had especially when it gave a very big impact into your life. Sometimes we thought that if there is a cure or a way to erase these memories into your brain and remain the happy memories, you would really take or buy it. Sometimes in desperation, you want to have an amnesia or other diseases that can make you forget all the memories you had.

Anyway, past is past. Let’s not bring the past back anymore. You can forget the past if you want to.

The best thing in reminiscing the past is that you can learn from your mistakes. In that way, you won’t do the same mistake anymore because you know what will happen if you try to do the same mistake.

It’s very nice to recall the memories you had together with your friend. I had tried many times recalling the memories we had with my friends. Everytime I shared it with them, we were all laughing because I want to share the happy memories I had and not the sad one. Of course I also tell my sad memories but for few people only, the chosen ones.

Memories are like things that are valuable to you that you keep in a safe place like putting it in a box, where you can open that box anytime you want to see it again. But instead of a box, the memories were kept in a safe place also called heart. Memories give you different kinds of emotions. Sharing your beautiful memories to someone makes you proud and happy because you had those memories to be kept and to be remembered. If you had your sad memories, just think that all things that happened into your life had its own purpose. Just be thankful for it because without it, you wouldn’t be at this point. These memories you hated will serve as a lesson to you. Every sad ending has its happy ending so don’t you worry bout having bad memories because who knows, these memories will help you to become a better person.

If you will just try to recall and accept those memories you had whether it’s sad or happy, you’ll realize how these memories are precious to you. Some people who lost their memories will complain about it. We are very much lucky because we still had our memories to be remembered. Let’s just treasure these memories and take care of it for the future.
