When you think winning a friend could be that easy as sharing a seat with a complete stranger, or can be bought from somewhere then we could go on believing that we will never feel incomplete, lonely, or weary with the idea that we can find it anywhere and anytime we need it. We could easily appreciate every people we meet and eventually accepting some to become part of our lives for the sake of companionship. I was defining friendship at its simplest form, a mediocre kind of relationship but not until I came up with an astounding realization from this kind of bond I found from my College friends. I had this thought since I was in high school that the kind of friendship everyone deserves to have is the kind where one must never feel down and that kind of having a person who will always be by your side literally or figuratively whenever someone tries to go against you. Every person I meet, I try to adjust with how they treat me. I try to be one of whoever I am with believing the...
As soon as the scorching heat of this year’s summer season started to blaze, me and my family immediately planned to spend a weekend vacation in the summer capital of the Philippines once again. Being the Unica Hija in the family, I was again assigned to organize our travel itinerary.

Finally, after a busy year, I am back again pushing my desire to write but instead of sharing most of what happened from the previous year, I am listing down my top 5 to look forward to this new year.

However, as I weigh everything that year 2018 has brought me, I can say that there are more things to be grateful for than to whine about.
