My Teachers That Inspired Me/Us

I am lucky to have many teachers in my life. Each teacher taught me something important, from school lessons to life lessons. Some teachers helped us understand difficult subjects, some taught us how to work with others, and some showed us how to stay disciplined and responsible. But my Senior High School teachers are truly the best. They are not only knowledgeable, but also patient, kind, and very encouraging. They guide the whole class, not just one student, and make sure everyone understands and does their best. Even when some of us make mistakes or feel confused, they never give up on us. They explain things again, answer our questions, and help the class learn together. I remember feeling stressed during exams and projects, but our teachers encouraged all of us. Their guidance helped the whole class feel confident and motivated. They taught us that mistakes are part of learning and that trying our best is more important than being perfect. Even outside schoolwork, my SHS teache...

A Life Lesson from Someone Unexpected

Sometimes, life teaches you lessons in the most unexpected ways. One day, I learned an important lesson from someone I didn’t even know very well. This person was not a teacher, a relative, or a close friend. I just noticed how they treated people around them with kindness  and respect. I saw them helping others without asking for anything in return. They would carry heavy things, smile at everyone, and listen when someone needed to talk. At first, I didn’t think much about it, but over time, I realized how much I could learn from them. Their small actions showed me that being thoughtful and helpful makes a big difference in people’s lives. Watching this person made me think about my own actions. I asked myself if I was being kind, respectful, patient, and helpful to the people around me.  And now, I’m slowly learning to adopt that habit/behavior.  I started paying attention to small ways I could help others, like helping my siblings, supporting friends, or even just be...

My Personal Achievements

One of my proudest personal achievements is learning how to balance my responsibilities at home and at school. At home, I help with chores like cleaning and organizing. Even though it can be tiring, I know helping my family is important. Doing these chores taught me patience, responsibility, and that even small efforts every day can make a big difference. At the same time, I focus on my schoolwork. I try my best to finish assignments, study for exams, and participate in class activities. Sometimes it feels overwhelming because I have so many tasks at once. But I learned to manage my time, plan my day, and take things step by step. Breaking tasks into smaller pieces helps me finish them without getting too stressed. I’m proud of my school achievements too. I’ve completed projects on time, improved my grades, and learned new skills I can use in the future. It taught me that personal success is not just about awards it’s about effort, learning, and growing. Balancing school and home li...

My Cousins

I have many cousins, and I feel very lucky to have them in my life. They are fun, caring, and always there for me. Ever since I was little, we have always played together. We laugh, share stories, and enjoy every moment. Even now, they are still there for me, supporting me and spending time with me. My cousins are not just family they are my friends. They always help me when I need it. They give advice, cheer me up, and support me in school and in life. Even when we argue or tease each other, I know it is because they care about me and each other. We have so many memories together. From playing games, celebrating birthdays, going out, or just hanging out at home, they have always been by my side. Playing together since we were young has made our bond very strong. My cousins have taught me so much about sharing, being patient, and caring for others, and also to be happy. They show me how to be kind, helpful, and how important family is. I am grateful for all the love, fun, and suppor...

My Titang Always There For Me

I have many titas, and I am very lucky to have them in my life. They are kind, caring, and always ready to help me whenever I need it. Whenever I feel hungry, they are the ones who buy food for me and make sure I eat. When my mama left, they became like mothers to me, guiding me, taking care of me, and making sure I was okay. My titas always support me in school and in life. Whenever I feel sad or have a problem, they are there to listen and help me. Even when they are busy, they make time for me and make me feel loved. I have many memories with them cooking together, celebrating birthdays, or just talking about life. They teach me lessons about being responsible, kind, and hardworking. I am grateful for all the love, care, and support they give me. My titas are more than family they are my friends, my guides, and my safe place. I know I can always count on them. I hope I can be as caring and supportive to others as they are to me.

My Two Brothers

I have two brothers, and I am the youngest in our family. Growing up with them has been fun, full of lessons, and sometimes a little hard, but I would not change it for anything. My brothers are not just my siblings they are my friends, my protectors, and people I look up to.  Being the youngest means I have always watched them and learned from them. Sometimes they can be strict or tease me, but I know they care. Even when they get mad at me, it is because they want what is best for me.  They are especially strict when it comes to people who like me or try to court me.  We share many memories together. From playing games at home to helping each other with chores, they have always been there. Even though we sometimes argue, the love we have is stronger than any fight. I always feel safe knowing my brothers have my back. They encourage me to do my best, help me when I struggle, and celebrate with me when I succeed. Being the youngest also means I learn from their experience...

My Cousin Alexa

My cousin’s name is Alexa. She is the one who seems to know everything and is always my ally. She understands me in a way that not many people do. Whenever I have a problem or just want to talk, she listens and makes me feel understood. I can go to her anytime, and I feel very close to her. She is easy to approach, kind, and caring. Being with her is fun, and I always feel safe sharing my thoughts and feelings. She is not just my cousin she is my friend, my supporter, and someone I can always count on. I remember so many times when Alexa was there for me. When I was feeling down, she would cheer me up with her jokes or just sit with me quietly until I felt better. She gives advice that actually makes sense, and even when I don’t want to hear it at first, I know she has my best interests at heart. She celebrates my successes with me and helps me when I make mistakes. Alexa is also someone I can laugh with and have fun with. We share little secrets, tease each other, and talk about an...

My Lola: My Guiding Star

My lola took care of me and my siblings since we were little. She was always there for us helping, guiding, and even secretly giving us money when we needed it. She was our support, our comfort, and our safe place. She made sure we had food, clothes, and love, even when times were hard. She never asked for anything in return; she was happy when we were happy. I have many memories with her. She always took me with her to the town, buying things we needed, running errands, or just walking around together. Whenever someone had something to sell that needed to be buried, she would take care of it. I also always went with her when she took a bath it was fun, and I felt close to her. These moments made me feel safe, loved, and happy. I will never forget how she included me in her daily life and taught me lessons without even saying it. Losing her during the pandemic was the hardest thing in my life. I felt lost and heartbroken because my lola meant everything to me. I miss her so much her ...

Journey Through the Entrepreneurship Fair

Joining the entrepreneurship fair was one of the most exciting experiences in my life. At first, I felt nervous because I had never shown a business idea to so many people. But as we prepared our products and set up our kiosk, I learned how important creativity, planning, and teamwork are. Since we were a group, working together was very important. After cleaning up our area, we would go to our friends home to prepare what we needed to bring. We went home as late as 10 PM and woke up at 5 AM to get everything ready. It was tiring, but it was also really fun and fulfilling. We sold our products for three days, and one of the best parts was talking to customers. It was exciting to see them enjoy what we made and to hear their feedback. I didn’t just decide on the products myself we all worked together as a team to choose and prepare them, which made it even more meaningful. On top of all that, we still had school subjects that we couldn’t ignore. Balancing the fair and our studies was...

My Dearest, Descartes

In just a few more days, we’ll be going our separate ways, and that thought honestly makes me emotional. I know I will miss all of you so much. This year became extra special for me because I got to be classmates with you again. Last year, in Grade 11, it felt like everyone had their own circle. Parang kanya-kanya tayo, different COFs, no interaction, no deep connection. It felt normal, but not this close. But now, everything feels different. We slowly became closer. We started eating together, laughing together, helping each other during exams, and being there during stressful days. From being separate groups before, it now feels like we became one big family  like we reunited at the right time. And that is what I will miss about all of you. And that is what I will miss about all of you. Grade 12 wasn’t easy, but it became happier because of all of you. The stress felt lighter, the laughs were louder, and the memories became more meaningful. I’m really grateful that my last year...

My Experience in Swimming Lesson

I was a little scared and unsure during my first swimming class. Everyone kept saying, “ka dalom!” and honestly, they weren’t exaggerating. I got even more nervous when I found out that our first swim would be graded. I kept thinking I wouldn’t reach the bottom because I didn’t really know how to swim, and my heart was racing the whole time. But somehow, I managed to get through that first graded swim. Of course, I swallowed water a few times, got really cold, and felt like I was struggling the entire time. Our teacher was there guiding us, showing us different types of floats like the back float and the jellyfish float. At first, it was really hard to balance and stay calm, and I panicked more than once, but little by little, I started to get it. By the end of the class, I realized that even though I was scared, even though I swallowed water and shivered, I was actually learning. I was slowly gaining confidence in the water. I learned to trust myself, stay calm, and keep trying even w...

My Circle of Friends

Image
To my circle of friends, my safe place outside home, my comfort people, my everyday happiness!  Last year, we weren’t even that close. We were just classmates, nothing serious, just normal conversations. I didn’t expect that the people I used to just sit near or talk to sometimes would become the ones I share almost everything with now. But somewhere along the way, we got closer. Slowly, we started opening up about school, family, love life, stress, random thoughts hanggang sa parang alam na natin lahat ang bawat isa. Sabay kumain, sabay umiyak, sabay tumawa, sabay sa chikas, sabay mag-review for tests, sabay mag-cram, sabay kabahan, at sabay din umaangat. We’ve seen each other’s breakdowns, mood swings, and even the dramatic moments, but no one left. Instead, we stayed. And that’s what makes this friendship so special. I don’t feel pressured to be perfect around them. I can be loud, quiet, emotional, oa, or even annoying sometimes and they still accept me. When school gets overwhe...

My Comfort Person, My Bestfriend

Image
 For Janina  “kimsoy” Nivera, my Best friend! Janina has been my best friend since Grade 1. We literally grew up together. From being little girls who didn’t know anything about life to becoming young women trying to figure everything out, we’ve been through so much side by side. I’ve seen her at her happiest even at her lowest   especially those hibi moments because of boys. And of course, we can’t forget “matyow” HAHAHA. I’ve seen her cry, overthink, and question herself. But I’ve also seen how strong she is. She may break down sometimes, but she always find a way to stand up again. And I’m so proud of her for that. She’s such a soft girl ,gentle, kind, and pure-hearted. Sometimes too kind to the point that people take advantage of her. She don’t always stand up for herself, even when she should. There were moments when I had to be the one to speak up for her, to say the things she were too soft to express. And I’ll always do that. I’ll always protect her the way she pr...

My Hero, My Papa

My papa is one of the strongest people I know. When our mom left us, I know he suffered deeply. I even saw him cry moments that I will never forget. Seeing him that way broke my heart, because I realized how much pain he was carrying inside. But even through that pain, he chose to stay strong for us. He stood not only as our father, but also as our mother     guiding us, protecting us, and doing everything he could to fill the space that was left. I remember him telling me “ skwela kagid mau be ha ” because I am his hope. Those words stayed with me. It’s a big responsibility, and pressure but it also motivates me. Knowing that he believes in me, gives me strength to push myself and do better in life. When I feel tired or unmotivated, I remember his sacrifices and I keep going. One thing that makes my heart so full is when he proudly introduce me to his friends. I’ll never forget how he says, “ara oh ang agot ko. May award na siya.” The way he smiles, the pride in his voice ...

My Safe Place, My Boyfriend

Image
Hi everyone, I just want to share a little story about someone very special in my life, his name DG and he’s my boyfriend. Thank you for everything he’s done, for his patience, his understanding, his care, his honesty, his loyalty, and for loving me unconditionally. I love him, and I truly appreciate every little thing he does. He might think some things are small, but for me, they mean so much. Even just his presence makes me happy and it’s already enough. I see all his sacrifices and struggles, and I want everyone to know how much effort he puts into everything he does. He’s patient, kind, and loving in ways that make my heart feel lighter and safe. It all started back in Grade 10. DG sent me a friend request on Facebook, and we started chatting, also he mentioned that he liked my eyes. I remember jokingly sending me a message “may ga crush bala smo sa room” but all throughout it was him. He was the one sending messages, always checking in, even when I gave cold replies or acted dist...

Itself a space where I share my journey of discovering myself chasing my dreams, and becoming better each day. This is where you’ll truly get to know me, my story, my heart, my struggles, and the person I’m becoming. I’m fhebby.  I’m still learning and growing every day. Life has had its challenges, doubts, and mistakes, but they’ve all taught me more about who I am and what I want. There was a time I worried too much about what others thought and put their needs before mine, often feeling ignored or like my feelings didn’t matter. Now, I’m focusing on myself my dreams, my growth, and my happiness. I’m trying new things, discovering what makes me happy, and keeping my life more private. I’m learning to set boundaries, value my feelings, and trust my own self. I believe that if I keep loving and trusting myself, good things wi...
