You are like a missing puzzle piece. My puzzle is incomplete without you but there's nothing I can do.
Yesterday, Sir Obed, our Values Ed. teacher gathered me and my classmates for our last culminating activity in our class this eight grade. He tasked us to bring a paper heart with our name on it and make it a necklace.
During our activity, each group should present the values they learned during our time as an eight grader. My group mates and I presented the value of time since our journey being II Venus is about to end. After each group's presentations, we made use of our paper heart. One group should sit as a circle in front while the remaining groups write their messages for you in your heart. The paper heart was hung behind our backs so it was easier for others to write on. I felt nervous and happy so it made me cry when I felt scribbles in my back.
After writing, our teacher told us to go into our comfortable place and read the messages posted in our heart. My bones were tingling, eyes were tearing, hands were shaking and I was smiling while reading my heart. I admit it, I expected a message from my special friend. Even if it'll only be one word, I won't care because I just want have a message from that friend. After reading back and forth, I noticed that, that friend of mine didn't write. My heart was crushed. It was left hanging on the air. There was a tiny space left where his message should be but it was empty. I then began feeling empty. My tears of joy were changed to disappointment.
I began asking questions. What if this, What if that, my mind was a mess. I now realized that maybe the distance between us should remain. Maybe this is for the better. And starting that day, I gave up on you.

Irony
Irony - The use of words to express something other than and especially the opposite of the literal meaning.
Yeah so life's an Irony but that's not what I'm gonna write about.
Today my topic is yes, about Irony but what I mean is,
Irony - opposite of wrinkly.Get it?
This topic is not about humor, this is a very serious topic dealing with my annoyance in lack of Ironing in clothes. Please bare with me for a while.
So it all started last February 12, 2013. Due to my gratifying dream, I woke up 15 minutes after my alarm buzzed. Yeah, but I wasn't that worried because I knew that I still have much time to prepare.
So after I ate my breakfast, I grabbed my uniform to prepare it only to see that it wasn't ironed! I quickly asked our housekeeper to please iron my clothes and she said yes. I was quite expecting to have my uniform done after I took my bath but yeah, it wasn't Ironed. I had to tell her again and this time she did it. Eureka! But of course it ate plenty of my time. So thank you my dear for wasting about 8 minutes of my morning.
After she ironed it, I quickly wore it and I only like have 7 minutes before our school bell rings. On the streets, I did not run but I fast-walked my way to our classroom. The moment I got to our classroom feeling dizzy with my feet sore, the bell rang. What an Irony!
So yeah, that's the end of my story. I hope you enjoyed because I sure didn't. That's all.

The Fault In Our Stars - Book Review
There is always a time in a sick person's life when they just wait for their moment of peace to come. It's not being bitter it's just sometimes, people accept reality.
That is what Hazel Grace Lancaster, the protagonist in the book entitled The Fault In Our Stars by John Green felt after being diagnosed by cancer. Hazel has never been anything but terminal, her final chapter inscribed upon diagnosis. But when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer kid support group, a group in which people with cancer support each other and tell each other their stories, Hazel's story was rewritten.
The story made me realize that God has always planned something better ahead of us. Hazel, just like any other sick people would ask God Why Me? And as soon as she was being close to giving up that's when Augustus appeared and changed her life.
Augustus, same as Hazel was also diagnosed with cancer but it didn't stop him from acting just like a normal healthy person. He would always quote, The thing with pain is that it demands to be felt. The other quote from the book that really struck me is Without pain we couldn't know joy. It's true. Sometimes, after your pain, your joy barges in.
If you want to find your inspirations in life, this book is a must read. I highly recommend everyone to read John Green's work of art.

Paper Girl/Boy with a Paperback in a Paper Town
A Paperback. What can you remember when that word is being gabbed? Books right? Well it's quite different for me. . .
I'll tell you Miriam Webster's definition of it. A Paperback is a book with a flexible paper binding. For me, yes I also remember books with soft outer coverings but mostly, I remember people. People with no confidence, people who underestimates their abilities. People who have paper spines at their backs which enables them to look down all the time (as you can see, if paper can't hold much wait, they tend to bend down) because of their insecurities.
I remember once, I've read a book that my friend lend to me and the protagonist in the book described their place as a Paper Town with Paper Girls and Boys. At first I was not able to understand this quotation but as I began to read it all over again I finally understood.
A Paper Town is a place where people don't care about important things anymore. A Paper Girl or Boy is a person that doesn't appreciate life anymore. Just like paper, they get crumpled, torn and thrown away easily.
Back to paperbacks. As I've said, I feel like they're the ones who are afraid. When your on hallways, they're the people who walk with melancholy and looks down all the time. They are afraid to mingle with others because others might mock them. You can't blame them for being a Paperback, they might have an awful experience being mocked before. I just think they shouldn't be down all the times. They should learn to stand up straight with confidence and a smile because it always makes them feel better.
They can't be just a Paper Girl or Boy with a Paperback in a Paper Town forever.
