Christmas Season with the Royal Family 2016

Image
Merry Christmas. It's the time of the year... and again  we celebrate Christmas with my family. Annually, we celebrate Christmas with different concepts. Of course, the traditional exchanging gifts and the games are present during Christmas gathering. But what is exceptional, and probably it became a tradition already with our family, is the unique pictorial. It's a not an ordinary photo shoot, but yearly we've done it in a different way. It is conceptualized based on the different themes.  Here are some of the snapshots from our pictorial last 24th.  For this year's concept, we decided to dress like the  royal family and of course it is inspired by the royalties in United Kingdom. We decided to wear the royal wedding outfits wore by the royal families and guest during the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. It's kinda weird because we're wearing thick coat  sweater in a tropical country like the Philippines. I swear, that was a sweaty photo shoot. Any

A Blessed 7 Years: Happy Blogversary My Foliage Diary!

Image
This day, seven years ago, was so memorable. It feels like yesterday when clicked the "publish" button on my blog. I had this feeling of excitement and anxiety. Anxiety, that I might not able to make it, but my excitement is overwhelming , it's just like a mom giving birth to a new born baby. It is my first time to own a domain. I don't know what to publish and I don't have any idea on the things that set to unfold. Things pass and things changes, and I didn't expect that I'm going to reach this far. I just love my blog- this is my outlet of my inner self- my inner ego. Sometimes I'm being pessimist on many things, but as much as possible, I'm trying to be an optimist in everything- in dealing with things. I thank everyone who chose to stay. It is a wonderful feeling when I look back on things I've posted here- from heartbreaks, moving on, life of a single, inspirational quotes and my day to day experiences . I feel really privilege to have a o

Love Music, Get a Life, Play Musical Instruments

Everyone are gifted- they are capable to do something great. Each one of us are given a talent- talent to dance, sing, draw, paint and play musical instruments. There are a lot of talents that needs to be unleash in us. It needs to be discovered and mastered. We are born talented. For me, they say, I was born with paint brush in my hands. Since young I do really love to draw and paint. This is my inner talent which I developed and mastered. But, I still don't loose hope that I could also play musical instruments. This is my secret ultimate dream- to play at least one musical instrument. Playing musical instrument feels like you're serenading your soul. It evokes emotional and musical experience. For me music is poetry. Music is what feelings sounds like. Playing music is a medicine of a breaking heart. Music is the song, the heart sings. See? There are lots of reason for me (for us) to love music. My love for music is eternal. There's that urge in me to get that best guitar

My Blog Comeback!

Welcome! Well it's good that we have holidays because I'll be able to update my blog. The last time I updated my blog was October 2 and it's quite long. Though I don't have luxury of time to do everything that I love to do - my blog and my other hobbies- but I always make sure that I'll be able to do some of these things when I got the chance. Lucky, that we have holidays and let's celebrate. Anyway, it's a long weekend for us because November 1 and 2 will be an "All Souls Day" and an "All Saints Day". In all the stresses in life, I want to breakfree and do all the things that  I love- that's why I write. So here I am, writing back again. I'm redeemed! Well, it calls for a celebration. There many things to celebrate, my comeback party and this November, I'll be celebrating my "Blogiversary". It's my 8th year in blogging (with this blog). Well, almost 10 years counting all my other blogs. I really hope that I'

A Day to Be Grateful

Hi everyone how are you doing? It's been a long time since I last time I updated this blog. I have a lot of things to be thankful for in that span of time. But one thing is for sure, I have so much to be thankful for. Well, nothing really change, it's just I learned to count more blessing now, than complain. First, I am  very grateful for the gift of life. I know that God is really good to me. I thank the Lord for continually pouring out His goodness and blessing to me and to my family. Second, I got a lot of holiday! That means I got the chance to rest and spend time with my family. I also got the chance to reflect, relax and have my "me time". Being by myself, reflecting on things is one of the great feeling ever. It gives you a sense of calmness within. Another thing to be thankful for is that October had come. Yes, it's my birth month. Though I don't really look forward for a big event on my birthday, but still grateful that my God gave me another chance,

Sing Songs: Secret to Happiness and Successful Life

I couldn't explain how it really started but I have this feeling of comfort and happiness whenever I do some videoke at our house.  Doing k araoke  or videoke  with families is a good recreational activity. Karaoke  is singing in an amplified voice with the help of a microphone. In videoke, you can select good quality songs in (minus one). I find it very  comforting when I sing songs. Starting to sing my heart out is one ofthe bect feeling ever. It relaxes my mind and soul. It is one way of expressing your feeling through songs. Singing now is one of my stress reliever. It's kinda weird because I am one of those who has the worse voice ever, but I still have all the confidence to sing (and let the neighbors hear it out). With the right choice of song, the lyrics itself could speak whats inside your heart. Together with my cousins and family. It strengthen the bond in our family. Ka raoke with families   radiates positive vibes .  Well, checkout some  good quality  audio out ca

Power Up Your Playlist

I have this hobby of listening to classical music and instrumental music everyday and I think it helps to ease my stress. It gives me soothing feeling. In a long busy day, when we're caught in 8-hours of work and stuck in an hour of traffic- the only way to relax and escape is through music. Yes, it works on me! And it's very effective. I used to have pop and novelty songs on my phone, but then I deleted it for some reasons- it triggers stress. Then, I shift to listening to classical, inspirational and intrumental music. No trashy words- it's just purely music. It is truly big help to me to get rid of my depression. Played intruments - sax, violin, guitar and piano/ keyboard are some of my favorites. It gives me so much feels. But still I keep and hope that one day I can play my favorite song in a best piano like  yamaha ypg-235 . I dreamed of playing my favorite song in some of the musical instruments. It would be very rewarding when you can play it, record it and listen t

My Step-by-Step Process: A Remedy to Get Rid of Pimples

Hi guys it's been a looOong days of,  vacation , wait, what? Let's say  my vacation from blogging maybe.*Sigh. after all there's no room for relaxation for me. I was bombarded  with so much paper works at school. Everyday is a long tiring day that I always crave to sleep as early as possible- but it's really impossible. I still have hope that I could regain the time I've lost. After all the hardwork, sleepless night and stressful week, I gained the hateful prize of hardwork (which I do not like)- pimples all over my face. I feel so paranoid whenever I got pimples. There's an excruciating moment of shame whenever I face people. Just to end up my suffering, so here's the plan- a remedy actually. I hope it works. I'll blog to you the end result after my days of observation. 1. Exfoliate your skin (atleast 2-3 times per week). You need to exfoliate your skin to remove dead skin. To do this, well, you just need to buy facial exfoliating products. 2. Use face

Music Hero

I was inspired to blog about the new segment in my favorite noon time show Eat Bulaga, it is entitled “Music Hero”. It is a segment of the show that showcases pure talent in playing the musical instruments. No loud singing and blending- it’s just purely music and harmony of the different instruments. There were different kinds instruments were played- some are guitars, drums, piano, violin, flute and etc. For me, it’s a breath of fresh air. It breaks the usual “singing contest show”. I was so amazed that they’d come up a show where the audience will just simply listen the sound of music. The audience and tele-viewers will not feel television contest, but a showcasing of talent instead. The contestants are very passionate in playing the instruments.  I was so amazed on how they were blessed with such great talent. All my life, I’ve been dreaming of learning one musical instrument. Yes, I gave up stringed- instruments, drums and piano, this time, I'm trying to learn the woodwind ins

Nostalgia For Today

Image
I feel nostalgic. I remember good thoughts- no great memories (I wish it will happen). That exact thought of you creates sadness within me- knowing that those were just memories. It won't happen and it will never be.   I am always a fan of Lang Leav. She made great poetry. A deep poetry... Truly beautiful. I just love to share some of those to you.

A Father's Day Gift for A Music Lover Dad

 Time flies so fast. It feels like yesterday when we celebrated Father's Day.  Now we're approaching to the day where we honor our father. Every year we celebrated Father's Day with a simple cake and a hanky or a tee for my dad. Since, we (I and my older sister) already have a stable jobs, we find it very reasonable to buy some expensive gift for he best dad in the world. How to choose the best gift for your dad? It's simple, know his likes and hobbies. Since my dad loves carpentry, music and of course raising chickens... choose which one will surely makes him smile. I'm planning to choose carpentry hand tools, musical instruments and audio speaker, since we don't much about chickens. Then, find the most accessible store where you can find the best tools or gadgets you want to have for your dad. My dad almost have all the tools in his carpentry cabinet so carpentry tool is not a perfect idea, so I''m rooting for a musical instrument. My dad love to sing

Th Art of Moving On

“In order to move on, you must understand why you felt what you did and why you no longer need to feel it.” — Mitch Albom I've known many people who have been hurt by people they love and cared. And moving on is just so hard to do. The questions on when and how to start is way too difficult to answer. I'm not just talking about relationship between the opposite sex,  but I'm talking about in general-it's either the parent-child relationship, friendship or any forms of relationships. We cannot change the fact that we are hurt. But, the way we act after hurting is a different story. It needs courage to handle the sandness and loneliness that it may caused you. Be brave, life's trials are designed to make us tougher and strong. I am not an expert, but let me help you cope up with emotional stress. Here's my "claimed" steps in moving on. 1. Cry. It's either on your favorite pillow or a stranger's shoulder (just kidding). But if it helps, go on. You

Summer Fun Workshop Recital

Train up a child the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it.~Proverbs 22:6 We are molding our future generation. We are the one who influence and  gives greater impact to our young generation. Let's start by doing simple act of goodness to them that their going to impart also to their children in the future. The moment we started our "Summer Fun Workshop 2016"activity in our church, I felt so hesitant and excited at the same time. Hesitant, because we have a lot of things to prepare, but excited because we know we can impart our talents to the kids. We started from the month of April-May (every Saturday). The workshop is for the kids to learn the musical instruments and arts like painting and drawing. Kids who enrolled in arts are taught how to draw, paint and do some crafts. While those who enrolled in the music class are trained on how to play the instruments like guitar, keyboard and drums (basic and advanced).It's so fascinating to see the

One Vote, One Leader, One Future

I am breaking my silence with regards to the  Philippine politics and the upcoming National Election this May 9. I couldn't take it anymore. I am so sick and tired seeing news of "black propaganda" in all my news feeds in Twitter, Facebook and other social media accounts. It is so frustrating that people are divided according to it's "political-party-colors" (e.i. Red, Yellow, Blue, White) The sad truth, these colors in the Philippine flag should unite people, but this time it divides. These  four colors are united in one flag- the Philippine flag. What is really going on? This campaign period really sucks. Many good friends unfriended each other because the other one says against the candidate he/she's supporting and vice versa. I don't really express directly about my political views and I couldn't endorse or campaign directly for a specific candidate since I am a teacher- and it is against the law. But I would express my random rants here in m

Embrace the Pain. Enjoy the Silence

PS. To my blog readers/visitors, I apologize if some of my blog posts (recently) are somewhat contradicting to my blog theme- which is radiating happiness and enjoyment. Sometimes we go through some of the valleys in our lives that we're left with no one to talk to but with our dearest loyal blog. (So please bare with me). Why is it so hard to express thy feelings? Many people are having a hard time expressing their true feelings. Just like me,  I used to be a melancholic and an introvert- keeping self-thought and ideals private as much as I can. That is why expressing my real feelings is so hard to do. Knowing the real feelings I have inside is like digging up gold mine. You have to earn my trust before I could give you full details of my thought. Anyway, who cares about my thoughts? People now days are very selfish that they're too concern of their feelings and forget to check out on others, like saying "hey are you ok?" The sad truth is, only few / or none who pos

Seasonal Activities to Remember

Image
Lately, I've posted a blog regarding my summer experience at the beach. It is very overwhelming. I got a perfect time to enjoy and relax for awhile. I've been dreaming for a day to go out  and go to the beach to relax. The feel of sand and salty water flowing through my feet is tranquil. I feel the calmness inside me. But long summer heat  burns me out . Summer started too early that I could no longer see green grasses. All were dried. Plants in our school could hardly survive. I don't love it anymore. People prefer to be at home than to be burn under the heat of the sun. No more rain :( and it frustrates me (since I'm a pluviophile). I love summer outing with friends and family but, my melancholic side of me demands rain ( and hope to experience winter). I started to miss my "home alone day"/ my "me time". Summer outing is exciting but rainy season and winter season is more interesting. I wish to experience winter and feel comforted with  Cozy Winte

My Kinda Start of Summer

Image
It's so good to feel the summer breeze. That feeling to be at the beach is so overwhelming.  I can't express how I felt- the feel of sand and salt water flowing through your feet, the smell of the salty air and the relaxing sound of the waves simply gives me the feeling of tranquility. I am melancholic, loner and introvert person and being far away from the crowd, busy streets and people is like a safe haven for me. I feel the calmness and peacefulness inside me- which I craved for a long time. We had a great time with my Grade 10 students. We were there at the beach to celebrate because finally their moving up to Senior High. It is very unforgettable for me because we got the chance to bond together- with my co-teachers and students. That was an overnight activity. We had fun games, retreat activities and an overnight film showing. I guess, this is good for all of us- to give ourselves a break. To spend quality time at the beach ;) Everything happened for a reason. I thank God

Midnight Soundtrack is Good for the Soul

 Thank God, I got the chance to blog again, since it's a long weekend and it's a holy week. While blogging, I'm also enjoying my night music sound trip. It is very motivational and therapeutic. Listening to the music every  night could ease the feeling of sadness, loneliness, but many times it triggers the feelings. Whatever it is, I just love the feeling listening to the sound of music.Music helps us reminisce some great memories that fades away. The lyrics of the songs could penetrate the deepest portion of your heart. One day, I dreamed to play one musical instrument. I just love the feeling to play an instrument. Forget the people around and simply lost in playing the song. If I could really master the piano or keyboard that would be very fantastic. I would probably bring it where ever I go. With the help of miko case , I could play everywhere. It would be very convenient for me to carry. Oh, I hope somebody could teach me how to play at least one musical instrument. I

Constant Pursuit of God... Hope for the Unhappy Christian

I never felt so alone in my entire life- just now. I felt so scared and doubtful. Maybe it's because of the sins that I've been committing and the my act stubbornness towards people and towards God  keep me away from Him. I can't help myself but to cry out to God for mercy. I'm praying that the God of Heavens sees me and rescue me from this brokenness and emptiness that I felt inside. This turmoil inside me is what keeps me from being miserable and keep me away from God. The struggle inside me is what makes me fighting. Fighting the spiritual battle. Fighting against the enemies realms.  This time, I wanna make right with God. This is the prayer of my soul. For God to intervene... because honestly, I cannot fight and win this battle. Exodus 14:14 The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still. Our discontentment leads to wishful but hopeless (and sometimes suicidal) thinking. But know that God is continually pursuing us. He won't give up on us. Our only hope

Foodie Buddy

Image
Do you find comfort in food? Well, food is the most primitive form of comfort for many people. Sometimes, when we are broken hearted and depressed we can find comfort in the food that we eat. I am not a fan of eating. I don't eat a lot. I always go in a restaurant because of its ambiance. But when I'm alone, food is the best buddy I can have. They are like bestfriends to me. The best part when I'm stressed is that I walked and wander around the city and when I get tired, I eat. I'm a typical loner who loves to eat by myself, but feels scared to eat in restaurant especially if it's my first time there. I thank God for restaurants. I thank them for inventing food. Yes, it's pathetic  to"eat and cry" at the same time but I've tried it many times. While many really wants to find someone they can talk to when their sad and lonely, but me? I prefer to be alone and eat. Being silent and savouring the  food that I prefer to eat alone is one of the best fee

Happy Love Day: It Pays to Wait But it's Always Worth the Wait.

Happy LOVE day to everyone. Hearts Day, Love Day, Valentines Day... whatever they called it- truly love is in the air. Spend time with your loved ones today. In many years that I've been celebrating this day as single, this is the first time that I feel so secured and loved. Though there are trials and misunderstandings that happen but, I can't stop myself but to believe that great days are coming ahead. I hope you feel the same way too. "Love day" is not just for lovers, but for everyone who has the capacity to love  and be loved. There are many types of love- a love for family, for friends, for lovers and a love for God. I am blessed and thankful that despite all the rejections by other people, I am pretty sure that the love of God is for forever. And that's the greatest thing that I can hold on to. Celebrate love and be inspired. Love people even though they can't love you back. Give love without asking love in return. It's free to love- so love someone

I Need an Extra Room, Please?

Happy Chinese New Year to everyone. To all my friends and kababayan  who are Chinese... Kung Hei Fat Choy. :) I hope you all enjoy your long weekend and your holiday break. It's holiday! So, it's no time for work. Since its holiday, it would have been a great day for me to chill and relax but unfortunately,  I got no chance to do it because the whole house is crowded with the bunch of teenagers.  My younger sister's classmates came and stayed the whole day in the house to do their research and projects. My planned relaxation is all gone now. My "me time" never happen :-( Our house is very small and it seems that it is not enough to accommodate them all. Anyway, the "me time" relaxation never happen, but I got the chance to have a "dream time". While it's very noisy outside our room, I had a great time to dream a lot. And one of those is the dreams for our house renovation. That's all I wish. I've been planning to have our second flo

Random Thought: It's the Simple Thing that Counts

Image
Random thought: It is about knowing the smallest, the little detail of your life that counts the most... Currently: Writing a blog at 11 o'clock in the evening of the January 31st. It's pretty amazing when you realize it's an hour away to February. Before this month end, I would like to express some random thought that disturbs my mind in this silent evening. Actually, I'm in the perfect mood to blog. Plus, I'm just right here at my favorite place to hangout- here in my room at the right corner of my bed illuminated by the purple lampshade. Truly, it's my "clean well-lighted place" for me. The perfect ambiance convinced me to compose a blog and reflect on the things- my random thoughts that disturb the silent evening. I started to think of my dreams, my ambitions, and my secret desires. As it flashed right in front of me, it lingered for a while but it suddenly fades away. It's just a minute or second, it vanished. But, I still put my hope and have

Happy 28th Year Anniversary to my Mama and Papa

Image
Finally, the plans are all set. We had a wonderful evening with my family. My sister bought food for us while I bought my favorite cake and a wine. This simple celebration is just a glimpse of how proud I am to have parents like them. For me, 28 years of marriage is already an accomplishment. The secret to a good marriage is honesty, trust, and care. These are just my thought, but truly worth to keep. I am just wishing and hoping that the kind of love they've shared with is each other is an inspiration for us.   I hopw that they'll continue to love and care for each other. Don't allow your husband to run out of love towards you. Love comes along the journey. What's bound to happen will always find its way. *giggles Here's the snapshot of them during our small and yet a wonderful anniversary celebration.  Keep  Keep going everyone. This post is the simplest letter and gift that I could give. Keep going everyone. Enjoy your day :D

Save the Date: Dinner with My Family at the 28th

Image
Let's all celebrate love. It's not February yet but you can already feel the valentine spirit. Truly, love is in the air. Yep, it's not an ordinary week for the family. Actually, it's my mom and dad's 28th wedding anniversary. It's going to be their 28th years on the 28th. Twenty eight years is already a good number to celebrate. I am planning to have a simple surprise for my mom and dad. I just want to celebrate their lasting love and relationship. Their  patience and understanding to one another are one of the great value they imparted to us- their children. And I just want to make this simple surprise as a way of thanking them, because, without them, I wouldn't be here also.heheh. Kidding aside, the years they've been together calls for a great celebration. So what are my plans? Well, I'm going to have a little budget, but I'll make sure it's worthwhile and memorable. I'm planning to buy a cake- of course. I want to have a candle on to

AlDub: The Challenge to Thrive and Survive

Image
Who would have thought that the whole nation will fall in love to these two showbiz underdog? Namely Alden Richards and Maine Mandoza. They are the phenomenal stars in the Philippines right now. Richards, together with his other half Maine Mendoza or better known as "Yaya dub",  they build up the the strongest phenomenal loveteam "AlDub" in the country. At midyear of 2015 their loveteam was discovered accidentally #sweetSERENDIPITY indeed. Now, they take the whole country by storm with lots of TV ads, endorsements, magazine covers,awards and recognitions, billboard, successful movie and TV series. In a span of six (6) months they already build up a large nation- they called it the "Aldub Nation" (it's the name of the millions of fans who supports the loveteam). I'm a fan of their loveteam from the time it started... and I hope it goes to forever. I always support them all the way. I always watch the noontime show EatBulaga on replays on YouTube. I&

The Music of Love

Image
Who can't resist to stare at this man? The man named Alden Richards- a phenomenal star in the Philippines. This picture is not just a picture of a "pretty boy" or a "boy next door" look, but I can see a guy who is passionately in love... to music. Richards, in the other hand, is inclined to music (as a singer not on musical instruments).  I find it very sexy and attractive if a man knows how to play musical instruments.  I admire him more when he tried to learn the musical instrument  to pursue the girl he loves. Though, it's just in a TV series acting, but I can't stop myself to fall in love to this guy. I can clearly see how passionate and perfect gentleman he is. I just love the idea of the "old school" type of courtship. Where the man serenades the woman he loves. I can see his hardship while learning the instrument. Playing musical instruments is very hard- especially the guitar. You have to press the strings in the other side and strum th

THE SUNDAY CURRENTLY | 02

Woah! Time runs so fast. I couldn't believe I am now posting my second blog post about "Sunday Currently". It feels like only yesterday when I did my first "Sunday Currently" blog post. Checkout my first blog post here --  THE SUNDAY CURRENTLY | 01   Though I'm a little bit tired and sleepy, but still I'll try my very best to be sincere and honest in posting. So here it is. I hope you enjoyed reading my first post. ;-) CURRENTLY Reading my Payu2blog assignments, just checking if there are available opportunities to blog about. Oh, I'm not blogging just to earn, I'm always sincere (as much as possible) even if it's a paid ad post. Listening to the sound of our ceiling fan. It's quite loud so I clearly hear the " don't know why it sounds like that.." sound. heheh :D Thinking many things...  everything. Overthinking ? Thinking about  my family, the things to do  tomorrow, work and work. It's Monday, so it's back to work

Music: The Voice of the Soul

Image
It's already midnight. All people and in the neighborhood are already asleep. And me? I'm right here blogging at the wee hours of the night. Honestly, there are so many things going in my head right now, –mostly things that I shouldn’t be (spending so much time) thinking about. I just can't contain how I felt at this moment.  I'm being nostalgic and feeling emotional. I feel happy and sad at the same time. Maybe because I've been through some ups and downs this past few months. Or these unexplainable feelings are caused by the music that is playing in my YouTube playlist and its tingling in my ear. As I  listen to some acoustic guitar covers on YouTube, it gives me a nostalgic and unexplainable feeling. I feel sad, in love and relaxed at the same time. The songs were played in an acoustic guitar. The music it creates calms your soul. Music is also therapeutic in relieving stress. I'm very willing to learn any musical instrument-acoustic guitar probably- to ease

THE SUNDAY CURRENTLY | 01

This is my first time to post this type of blog post. I have read some popular blogs from my favorite celebrity, Maine Mendoza's blog to be exact. She also got the idea from the other blogger and I find it very interesting to post such kind of blog posts. It is entitled The Sunday Currently. I think it is very fun and ceative, so I'm gonna try this also in my blog. Would you like to try it too.? Sunday is a family day, but I was left  alone at home because everyone in the family went to church today. I stayed at home coz I have coughs and colds- SICK in short. Well then it's the second Sunday of January, but still I can't get over of the Christmas break.LOL. I demand a loooong vacation! So here it is. I'm so excited to do this! CURRENTLY Reading  some of my old blog post. I'm kinda nostalgic today so I was browsing my old posts- did a random reading from 2010 to present blog post. Heheh I'm enjoying my grammar, though. I am also reading some FB comments from

Hi everyone. I hope you are enjoying your weekend. I hope you're having a good time this weekend. Mine? I already have one- that is when we went to the pizza house with my new classmates in my masters class. I'll be blogging about it later. Well, the reason I posted this blog because I'm very excited to show to you my new found favorite lip wear. Yeah, this is exactly what I'm looking for. I'm not a fanatic of a lippy, and glossy lipstick or a lip balm because I find it too greasy. I really want to have a natural red-lip look.Well, my search is over.

When I first tried the product, so far, there's no allergic reaction on my lip- I don't know about the cheek because  haven't tried it yet. Been looking for it for so long, thank God I found it at Watsons. Watsons are located in any supermal

Feeling Nostalgic: Wishing for a Class Reunion

I'm feeling nostalgic as I dig some of my old photos from my Facebook account. I was skimming and looking at it for almost an hour now. I feel so sad, knowing that time flies so fast. The first photo that I uploaded was way back 2009. The photos speak how I live up my past six (6) years of my life. There are all memories now- great memories that I've treasured indeed. I wish that those flashback photos will extend and capture the years in high school. High school and college memories are one of those I've treasured the most. It's like half  of my years of existence were spent schooling. Beautiful events and memories happened at school Oh, it's killing me. I'm missing all of my school mates and batchmates. I miss the time when I laugh  with my best friend at one of our favorite bench, hangout with my classmates and friends at the canteen,  cried so hard because of "puppy love". I admit it, I really envy those batch who had their class reunion last Chris
