Pedicab I Lab

  2:15 pm. A hot afternoon ride in a pedicab with the driver and his seems-to-be-8 year-old son reminds me of my younger years. "Ang init! Pero di dapat tumigil." I heard the husky voice of the man in wheels. As I look deep to his line, I remembered my Dad.

My Father was once a pedicab driver who sends people to different places, including students who were his regular passengers .When I was a kid, we travel along Calinan early in the morning of school days to fetch students and send them in school. That routine of my life opened my eyes to the different aspects of a true journey. I witnessed some events that taught me how hard it is to struggle with life.I realized its not that easy to earn money in the streets.

The driver smiled as I replied to him, "Ang init nga!." Seeing him and his son's humble smile touched my heart. Despite of the difficulties they encountered, they never forget how to brighten one's character. My heart felt at ease when our conversation started. Being in the road whole day is not a simple job. Facing the heat of the sun, the thick smoke and even accidents can never be avoided.

 Having my sight to the wheels, I remembered the accident I and my Dad encountered when I was in 3rd grade. That incident was not that critical or serious but I felt the pain and fear that my Dad feels. We stopped in front of a public school to drop some pupils. BAAAAM! A loud noise interrupts my calm feeling. As I look around to see what's going on, I saw the pain on my Dad's face. His left side was unfortunately hit by another pedicab. My innocence on the incident weighs a lot on my heart. I don't know what to do to rescue my Dad's current situation. I don't want to cry even if my eyes wanted to. Being brave is what I want to do that time; I don't want to add up on my Dad's pain just because he sees me crying. I don't want him to worry more that's why I chose not to speak.

 I heard again the warm voice of the driver. I felt as if I want to help him in some ways but I have no idea how. I understand the difficulty he is facing while driving. He wanted to take some rest under cool place but he can't because he needed to provide the needs of his family. I finally came right in front of our house. Our conversation was over but as I step down from the vehicle, I wanted to keep talking  to comfort him. He smiled once again and I also looked over to his son who is also smiling. I said my goodbyes.

I walked forward and I heard the pedicab's sound. Reminiscing the times whenever I hear our pedicab coming. My feelings for our pedicab will always stay in my heart. When I heard Dad that he's planning to sell it, I really cried. I honestly can't stop my tears. Even though its not ours anymore, still, our pedicab will always be the pedicab that I love.

Student's Lines

During Quiz/Test:

    "Pahingi ng papel"

    "Share ka naman ng sagot dyan"

    "May ballpen ka?Pahiram"

    "Nasa lesson ba natin yan?"

    "Urong ka nga! Hindi ko makita ang sagot"

    "Absent ba ako nang itinuturo yan?"

    "Ano nga yun? Nakalimutan ko talaga"

During the Checking of papers:

    "Bonus! Bonus!"

    "Yay! Yan sana ang sagot ko"

    "Sayang!Pinalitan ko!"

    "Kainis! Sana hindi na lang ako nangopya."

 

 

 

 

During Class Hours:

   "Sana holiday today"

      "Sana absent si Teacher"

      "Dismiss na! Please"

      "ZZZZZZZZ..."

      "Boring!" 

      "Bakit kailangan namin yang matutunan?"

"May pasok kaya bukas?Sana wala"

     These are the lines of the student nowadays.  Sad to know but we have to accept the fact that most of the students now are having less interest especially when middle days of the school comes. During summer vacations, students are usually excited to come to school however when months had already passed during school days, they became lazy and less interested to learn. I admit, I am one of those students who bring out those words. I know its not good to utter those lines but it suddenly comes out of my mouth. Then, I realized that why say those lines if I really had the eagerness to learn? Those lines simply show that I am one of the irresponsible studs who enter the school. I myself must be grateful because not all children are blessed to be sent at school.

Young Love. Is it really love?

      A while ago, I hopped on the site, OMEGLE,talking with strangers. Here are girls I met whom at age 13-14 are already in relationship. I was shocked of course! They are still kids and yet they have been into months of relationship. Me on that age is just of crush and adoration that's why I thought of how they felt at this point. Is it true love or we say it is infatuation. What's going on? Kids become adults while adults act as kids. Of course I can't blame them. They witnessed those kinds of relationship within their community that's why they came up having that relationship at their age. I don't have problem with it. It's just that I am worried of what will happen if they pursue their feelings for each other. Youth of today are on a haste. Even I, in 16, realized that young people are making everything in a hurry. Deciding and doing things without thinking properly. As we noticed in our society, many women became mothers at young age.Instead of reading books and studying, they are finding job and working hard to provide food for their offspring. Some women who thought of the burdens they will have with their child,tend to put in their minds to finish the life of the baby through abortion since they can't raise their child at her young age.Instances like these will definitely happen if young lovers will pursue their pleasure. I'm not saying that loving someone is prohibited. I merely want to express my opinions with this issue. Loving a person with the right decisions and having limitations.

The Window to One's Soul

They say that looking to a person's eyes is the same as knowing who he really is. Our eyes never fail to say the truth. Looking to his eyes is deeply knowing who that certain person is. We wonder why he acts like that and yet the answers are just written to his eyes. When we are happy, our eyes spark like stars do. When we are sad, eyes cry as much as rain pours. I love my eyes! I really do! Because without mine I can't see yours. In fact, many people said that my eyes are nice that's why I keep in mind that I must take good care of them. Take care of your eyes then >.<

It's been a while

since I had the interest to write something. I even stopped writing diaries and journals. I just have a lot of time but I can't spare a second writing and typing.I had so much to talk to since its been a while.

March 19, 2012. The last day that all of us have been together-the Lorenzo Knights-my dear classmates and my beloved friends. I miss them so much! I miss the times that we hang out together laughing in the corner. They are the persons who tease one another that brags the interest of the class. Whenever there are issues of a certain person, it can't be forgotten easily. Once you have something to tease to, you'll always be talked and laughed out by everybody. I know its not good to make fun of a person but it seems to be that they are the ones that will be carved to the minds of many. Things that come over to my mind related to them, draws a smile in my face even though I am alone. I remember how we laugh so loud in the pathways and corridors because of the jokes they cracked and the weird things they make. I put into the memory the moments when we listen and learn until I then remembered how silly we are during the tests and quizzes. Its undeniable that no one of us never cheated because teamwork has always been our hobby. The necks that grows tall, the eyes that zooms in and the heads that turn around are the manners that we do when we cheat. Parasites- the term used to describe most of us. From papers to pens to answers, we depend from one another. I know those are not good to boast to but I believe, they are the ones that strengthen our bond. No matter how I want to get over with that, I still miss them a lot.  Now, we still see one another because the world is so small. We are still keeping in touch through phones and internet. :)

April 11, 2012. The first day of my summer job as a tutor. The first thought that came to my mind when Vanessa texted me to be her bro's tutor in MATH 1 is that 'No way! I am not good at it!' (I never said that to her though) I had been already a tutor and I believe I did well but as time passed by, I lose confidence to myself. I am not sure if I deserve to be Von's tutor. Then, thoughts visit my mind 'This is an opportunity for me this summer' 'They trusted me that much' 'Summer is here! Be productive'  That's why, I am now studying Math to have lessons for Von. Every day in this month, I will spare time in teaching and studying for Von's sake because in the end,I know I will benefit something. Not just the salary that I will receive but the experience that can never be bought. Its pretty tiring I admit but I entered this track and I must finish it well. 

This summer, I have been watching Korean dramas! It has been always my hobby, to watch movies. Since the DVD player we use is not ours, we must make use of it. lol! That's my past time and it really satisfies me a lot. I know it brings quarrel to us siblings because they are not interested to the movies I watch but I can still find my time for my pleasure. I need to deal with them so that I will not be banned in watching movies.
This is how I spend my summer in front of the TV. XD The happiness I attain can't be compared so I always  warn my siblings not to mess with me. Though staying at home is a lil boring, I am still looking forward to our family outings. :D

So much for sharing. Thanks for listening! :D
