Time and Memories
by Jonalyn Macarayan

          December is a time of giving. For me,the gift that I would like to receive is time and memories because time matters to all of us and memories make us happy.
       
            Being with my family and friends and celebrating together are  the best gifts I could ask this Christmas. It would not be fun and meaningful without them.Unlike material things, my family and my friends are always there if I need them to share memories when I am happy, to comfort me when I am sad and weary. Material things break, but time and memories together last forever.  Although I couldn't bring back time, I can always bring back  memories by simply looking at  photographs  that show all the beautiful moments and funny things that we made together that some things are never forgotten. I could also simply imagine and think all the time spent with them. 
    
             And these moments I can keep through photographs. Sometimes its not just about the gift,and it's about what you want to say with this. Everybody should always remember the good times spent with someone special, with family and with friends. Lastly,remember that good memories are  one of the  greatest  gifts because these memories are time spent together.

    Everyone of us has different memories of Christmas. I think Christmas was one of my favorite holidays. Maybe because of the special atmosphere that you can feel everywhere, in shops, restaurants , pubs and even streets, where you can hear the magical carols, or maybe it's because of its religious background, but what I can tell you for sure is that I can't think of anything more exciting than the image of the entire family preparing the Christmas Tree or fixing the Christmas dishes.

    I agree with "Being with my family and friends and celebrating together are the best gifts I could ask this Christmas. It would not be fun and meaningful without them." Family is the best present ever which was given to us by God.And the reality is, celebrating christmas without your family isn't happy. Everyone felt so incomplete.The gifts that I wanted to receive this Christmas are simply happiness and contentment. :)))

The Fire of Friendship

Image
Paulo Coelho A man called Ali is in need of money and asks his boss to help him out. His boss sets him a challenge: if he can spend all night on the top of a mountain, he will receive a great reward; if he fails, he will have to work for free. When he left the shop, Ali noticed that an icy wind was blowing. He felt afraid and decided to ask his best friend, Aydi, if he thought he was mad to accept the wager. After considering the matter for a moment, Aydi answered: ‘Don’t worry, I’ll help you. Tomorrow night, when you’re sitting on top of the mountain, look straight ahead. ‘I’ll be on the top of the mountain opposite, where I’ll keep a fire burning all night for you. ‘Look at the fire and think of our friendship; and that will keep you warm. ‘You’ll make it through the night, and afterwards, I’ll ask you for something in return.’ Ali won the wager, got the money, and went to his friend’s house. ‘You said you wanted some sort of payment in return.’ Aydi said, ‘Yes, but it isn’...

I am a Paper Plane

   I Am A Paper Plane    by Jerahmeel N. Tayag Jr.            Do you remember playing with a paper plane when you were young?   Soaring high,   soaring low then slowly falling down,   landing gently or roughly on the ground.   The fall depends on the strength of wind and the pull of gravity.   Never have I imagined that I would be like a paper plane.        Growing up,my arms are torn,   I can’t do the things I dearly want to do;   my legs are crippled,   I can’t go places where the brave dare to go,   where I want to actually be in;   my tongue is knotted,   my wind could not speak for me,   not even allowed to utter a word.   I am in a poor,   very poor situation as nerves of my heart are crushed.   I am vowed to follow strictly against my will, against my power.   I felt dumb and numb.   I must fly,   I have ...

Past is History, the Future is a Mystery and every Moment a Gift

a reflection by  Sophia May Moscare                                Grade X- Earth              Everything we do creates memories. It just depends upon us to keep it or not. And from our past experiences, we tend to learn and try not to do it again. What we have gone through made us stronger and taught us to become a better version of ourselves. Our past might be hard to forget, but it would always be our choice to live in it or to just go and move on with life. 'Cause life is full of surprises and enjoying it is the best thing to do. Let us not let anyone rob us our own happiness, not even ourselves. Just think of today and choose a life that's worth it. Worry not much about the future, instead enjoy what you have right now, create memories with the people you love, because life is so unpredictable. The future you are thinking about will soon be your present and w...
