Prom?.....

JS prom or the Junior Senior promenade is already fast approaching. Isn't it exciting? Its a once in a blue moon experience for all of us. Its an enchanting and romantic evening when we get to experience what is like of being prince and princesses.
Enough of those ragged clothes and childish behaviors because its time to experience formality.
Its the perfect time to reveal the other side of ourselves. Lets not be ugly ducklings. For once, let us be the swans.
Last year, we had a fun-filled experience with the previous batch. It was a successful one. We had Waterfront as our venue and it was the perfect place for that special occasion. There was good ambiance in the place. Everybody was beautiful and handsome in their gowns and tuxedos. I did not even recognized some of my classmates because of the total change in their appearance.
I thought that the promenade was not going to be a successful one because during the intramural s, our batch and theirs had a quarrel. But then I was wrong because it was indeed perfect. We had the chance to bond with one another and we treated each other well as if nothing happened between the two year levels. I was glad because our escorts were very gentlemen and they were kind to us.
When it was already dancing time, some of my classmates asked me to dance and I did not say no. It was my first time to dance formally and i was happy with it. My classmates were also busy dancing with their partners and I find it cute.
During the announcement of awards, i was glad that Juna became the Junior princess. She deserves it because she was very beautiful that night and she was able to carry herself well. She look so elegant in her attire. Nico became the Junior prince and he also deserves it.
Now, we are again going to have our Junior-Senior Promenade held in Waterfront Cebu because we all think that it is the perfect venue. You will really enjoy there and your money will be worth it. Everyone is already busy preparing for their attire. I haven't secured a gown and so my mother and I went to the bridal shop and see the gowns that are for rent. I fitted a lot of gowns and we transferred from one shop to another. Most gowns were already reserved because many schools will have their prom on the same date as ours. Among those schools are UV, USC, CIT, and Science High Cebu. After fitting several gowns, at last I found the perfect one. Its just simple but I find it nice and attractive. It was already very tiring and so we had the gown reserved and the owner told us to pick it up on Thursday.
Now I'm looking forward to a fun and successful promenade with the Juniors and I hope that it would be enjoyable as the previous one.

A little thing called love…

Is love just a little thing? Well, I guess it’s not because if it’s just a little stuff, it would not hurt a person that much. Sometimes we forget the true meaning of love. We often interchange infatuation and love. These two words are somewhat alike but it does not really mean the same thing. Infatuation is a state of being inspired with a foolish passion. It is just temporary love and not a real one. It does not last unlike love which lasts even after death.

How do we know if it’s already true love? What is love anyway? The truth is there is no exact definition for it. Each of us has our own denotation of love. The bible also has its definition of love. According to the book of Corinthians, “Love is patient, kind, without envy. It is not boastful or arrogant. It is not ill-mannered nor does it seek its own interest. Love overcomes anger and forgets offenses. It does not take delight in wrong, but rejoices in truth. Love excuses everything, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things.”

Ms. Rodel, our health teacher, defines love as an indescribable feeling that only a feeling can understand. Yes, I believe that it is only a feeling which can understand another feeling. If there is no love in a person, that person would never understand or feel love no matter how you express it. For me, true love has no agendas, no attachments, no ideas, no demands, and no conditions. True love is when you go beyond its plain definition; it is when you are already willing to give without asking anything in return. It is absolutely indescribable because I myself cannot find the right words to express my perception of love. To understand it well, you must be able to feel it with all your heart. According to an article I have read, our minds can talk about love, but they can't actually experience love. Love can only be experienced through feeling. Many times we confuse the experience of love with the word or idea of love. You can say the words "I love you," and not be feeling love. You can also feel love when you think you can't or shouldn't. Love is a very strong feeling. It can even drive anyone crazy or insane.

Among the most famous definition of love are: “love conquers all,” “love is blind,” “love makes the world go round,” “love hurts,” “love is a many splendid thing,” “and many more.”

How would you distinguish true love from a phony one? Actually, I still do not know and I’m still searching for answers to this question. I can’t explain the topic well because I myself am confused.

As the song goes, love moves in mysterious ways and its always so surprising when it appears over the horizon. Do not look for love because love itself will find you.
