Dragons are like giant creatures,they breathe fire, some of them have wings and can fly but some of them don’t have and can’t fly. This creatures are scary because of their huge teeth. In fairy tales, they are always a friend of the prince. But what do they actually look like? What are their roles on the society back then? Let’s see and discuss about them.

According to the book of Jobs chapter 41, they describe the dragon as it/they have a fearsome teeth, the eyes are like the rays of dawn. Flames stream from its mouth. Smoke pours from its nostrils as from a boiling pot over burning reeds. Its breath sets coals ablaze, and flames dart from its mouth. The folklorist Carol Rose discusses in her book “Giants, Monsters, and Dragons: An Encyclopedia of Folklore, Legend, and Myth” that dragons have a composite features from many other beasts such as the head of an elephant in India, and numerous heads of reptiles such as serpents. Their body color may range from green, red, and black to unusually color yellow, blue, or white dragons.” And the zoologist Karl Shuker describes a wide variety of dragon in his book “Dragons: A Natural History” that the dragons, whatever else it might be, is clearly a chameleon, it features adapting to the cultural expectation of the era. The word “dragon” comes from the ancient Greek word “draconata,” meaning “to watch” suggesting that the beast guards valuables.

Dragons are typically guard of treasures such as mountain of golds, gems, and more.

Most of us are scared on this kind of creatures. But there is nothing to be afraid of. We should not be afraid on their physical appearance because they give a big contribution on their era. We should not judge the book by its cover.

When I was a kid, I used to come at my mom’s province and experienced the beauty of nature in Bukidnon. I experienced the clean air, there is no traffic, and the of living there is very simple. And it is far different from the way of living here in manila. It is relaxing to watch the blue sky, the green and tall trees, and the birds that flies. There is no tall buildings that we usually see here but there is tall trees everywhere. Bukidnon is the best place where you can enjoy travelling and relaxing . Come, visit and see the beauty of nature and the rich province of Bukidnon.

Bukidnon is considered as the food basket of Mindanao. It is the major producer of rice, corn, bananas, sugarcane, and pineapple. It is also the producer of chicken, hogs, cattle. Cuisine reflects culture, culture reflects the characteristics of people. People from Bukidnon are sweet, friendly, and hospitable. If there is an event that they usually called fiesta, they always prepare their best and delicious cuisines. One of the most delicate cuisine in the province is the Binaki (sweet tamales binaki), it is kakanin from Bukidnon. Binaki comes from the word “baki” which means frog. It is ready to eat and it is wrapped in a corn husk and folded in a shape of a frog. But when you are full and done eating, and want to try some adventurous activity and visit beautiful places.These place are perfect for you to go to. The Musuan peek, where you can climb and when you are at the summit, you will be amazed at the awesome landscapes, the view of the Pulangui River, and the city of Valencid. The mountain of Kitanglad; it is the 4th most highest mountain in the country. It possesses a stunning scenery and magnificent view of the neighboring peaks.

When i was a kid, I experienced the way of living there in the province. It was simple, yet fun. I experienced the people’s hospitality. Their exotic and different delicious cuisines. I wish I could bring back the time. Come and experience or come to the different destination in Bukidnon. i want to go back reminisce the memories of the past.

“This is something like a movie, and I don;t how it ends girl but I fell in-love with best friend.” He is the happiest man I know. The wittiest, he always makes jokes, a corny one. He gives sunshine to others’ life. He always make everyone around him happy. He is John Brix, everyone’s happy pill. He makes everyone happy without exerting too much effort,but he has this close friend that he likes too much. He exerts.  an effort just to make her happy. But this girl can only see him as a friend.

He fell inlove, theres nothing wrong of being inlove. Actually, it is the best feeling that a person can feel. Being inlove is a magical feeling. It is inspiring and it is awesome. But the thing is he fell inlove with his close friend. He fell inlove wuth a peraon who can only see him as a friend. Only a friend. How can he move on if he always sees that girl? If he always sees her beatiful smile. And if everyday he is falling to her. Everyday that passes by, he’s getting used to it. So, he keep himself away from that girl and tried to stop his feelings from her. Until now, they’re still friends and he still makes her happy.

I realized that we should not fall inlove with our bestfriend. We should love them only just a friend or a nember of a family. We have to accept that there are people who will remain only as friends and will never, ever be a lover.

“When will my reflection show who I am inside.” I may not good at dancing, I may not good at drawing, not good at acting and singing. I am not good enough, I am not good at all. I don’t have a talent nor qualities to be proud of. But this line of the song makes me realize that I dont have to prove myself. I dont have to fit with others. Because it doesn’t make any sense if I prove myself to others. I should be me.

A pretty, simple girl was born on the 6th day of June. Her mother and father was very happy and excited to see that baby girl. And also Her brother was excited to have a baby sister. And now, that baby is existing for sixteen years already in this world. I remember when we go to our province. It is the most memorable thing happened to me. When we go there, they make me feel that I am not alone. Even though I am not that close to them, they taught me how to socialize with others.

I know I will be a successful Filipino teacher someday. I will inspire my students to study hard so they can also be successful as me. I will teach them to be proud of what they have. To be happy and enjoy their roller coaster life ride. And there is a bible verse that is always on my mind. The verse says that “For I know the plans I have for you,”  declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and future.” This verse reminds me that I should trust God because He has plans for me and I will be successful according to His plan.

My journey as a junior high school student was never easy. It was full of fun, realization about something, not only a realization but you can also learn from that. It was full of hardship, but from  that hardship, it molds me from what i am right now. My junior high school journey was full of memories that i will cherish for the rest of my life. And will always keep and remain in my heart.

Back when I was 11 years old the moment i first step and decided to enroll in Mandaluyong High School is the moment that i have made a right choice. I am a grade 7 student that time. I am elected as a president of our classroom. i think that time i am the most luckiest girl because i met four awesome girls, my best friends. We are  not only just best friends  but we treat each other like sisters. And i became top 3 achiever in our class that time.

Time had passed, and i became a grade 8 student. I felt sad on the first day of school because my best friends and I were placed in different sections. But this makes me realize that I can be happy without them. On our first grading, I got a failing grade on math. I am always stressed that time because I always failed to reach the expectations of my parents. But i learned so many life lessons in this year, that i should always stand firm and believe in my self.

So, on my 9th grade I was 14 years old. The 9th grade, or third year of high school, is one of my favorite year. Because i got into the kind of section where we are not treating each other just as classmates, but as a family. And i was crowned as 3rd place achiever on writing an essay, it was the celebration of AP month.

10th grade,my last year of being a junior high student. It was full of memories. In this year level, i experienced a lot. like, i don’t get 8 hours of sleep, or should I say i didn’t get to sleep for a few days, our thesis in research. Not eating in recess just to save money. Compete on different competitions like cheer-dance, interpretative, and many more. In this year I got my major heart-break that I always cry in front of my classmates.

My voyage was never facile or trouble-free. It was like a roller coaster ride. It was fun but you have to sit tight. Hold on to true happy memories, to the life lessons that you have learned and the people who have contributed to your life and sculpted you to  who you are right now. Every memory, moments, and lesson will always  be in my  heart and will never be forgotten.

“I hope that I could turn back the time, to make it all alright, all alright for us.” Just like what the lyrics said, I wish I could turn back the time. I wsih I could go back to make everything right. Just like everyone, I also make mistakes, a wrong decision that leads me to regret things. A regret that leads me to wish. And a wish to go back to every second, minute, hour of my life to make everything alright. But the damage has been done. We can’t move the hands of the clock back so, we should accept and keep moving forward.

For me, a regret is a feeling of being sorry to yourself because you acted on the irrational taught and failed to do what is right. The biggest regret that I made in my life is when I was onmy 8th grade. I was so tardy that time so I wasn’t able to pass at my Math subject. I’m not doing my assignments, I don’t want to give at least an hour to study our lessons so my quizzes and exams are low. I can’t relate to the topic but I’m not exerting an effort to understand it. So when the teacher is giving our card and my mom saw it, she was so disappointed. She was so angry that time. I can’t di anything except crying. From that day, I realized that I was wrong. And I should exert effort on my school works and studies for me to pass.

From that day, I learned that we shoyld be mindful if what we are doing. We should give effort in our studies and make our parents proud. We should appreciate their hard works and try to repay that with our good grades. But, we should also think that our grade is not the basis of our intelligence. Grades doesn’t define what kind of person you are.

Thanks for joining me!
