Blogging Experience


                I will keep this post short but meaningful. Blogging for this class made me more vocal and more open-minded. I actually enjoyed blogging now because I was able to share my thoughts on different areas of life even if our professor gave us certain topics. Aside from sharing my thoughts, I also had the chance to understand others beliefs or stands on some points. It was really nice to know some stories from the other students and I actually got inspired on some of them. I enjoyed reading everyone’s blogs because I made sure to read at least one post from each. Blogging is fun but I doubt I will maintain this blog because I have a personal one already. However, I will definitely not delete this blog because it’s also a part of me and it’s a nice experience to look back at. To my classmates, I know I did not get to know all of you but I wish you all the best. Keep striving and let us all enjoy life.

A Truly Great Day


                One of my most unforgettable memories happened last year. It was the day before my birthday. I consider it as a truly great day because it was probably different from the others. Back then, I would always celebrate my birthday with my friends and family. But last year I only celebrated it with my closest friends because my parents and my brother were already here in the US.
                My celebration started in the afternoon. My friends and I went in the mall a bit early to choose a good restaurant. After we made our decision, we roamed around first since we still waited for the others to come. When we were already complete, we went to our chosen restaurant and started to order several dishes. It was quite hilarious because it was our first time to eat there and we did not know what to order. We decided to choose a variety of dishes so we could enjoy our dinner. Once our order came, our table was really full. It made us think if we could actually finish everything. Then we ate, talked, and laughed as if we were at our own world. We did not care if there were other customers in the restaurant. We just enjoyed ourselves.
                After our dinner, we still stayed in the mall to hang out for a while. Later on some of my friends already went home and my two bestfriends and I went to our other plan. We planned to watch a pageant because our guy friends were part of it. Those 2 guys were really important to me that’s why we supported them in the event. Sadly, both of them did not get any awards but I was still proud of them. The pageant ended at midnight and we still did not go home because it was already my birthday. We just stayed in the venue and took a lot of pictures. Afterwards, my auntie went to pick me and my bestfriend up since it was really late already.
                My friends made me happy on my day even though my family was not with me at that time. I am truly thankful to have such friends and I would not trade them for anyone.
