High School Diaries: Home Is In Your Eyes (Sophomore Year)

Yesterday was one of my bffs birthday. We went out to celebrate. This best friend of mine along with our other best friends are from my old school. I transferred way back in 4th grade. Thus, in the 5th grade I was no longer with them. Going away from a school where I have been since I was in nursery, it was hard. My friends and I knew each other since we were kids. I haven't seen most of them for quite a while. Up until yesterday, when I finally got to hang out with them.

It didn't feel even a bit awkward. It was just that comfortable for us. It was like all those years didn't matter. All of the memories that we have were so precious that we talked and talked about each other's lives and they discovered that they missed a lot of  happenings in my life. :) Me, on the other hand, didn't miss quite much. That made me feel nice. We were laughing, walking most of the time. We were supposed to play bowling but then, unfortunately, the bowling alley is holding a  competition at the moment. Due to our itinerary being broken, we went to Timezone instead. Gladly, I brought my card with me.  In Timezone, we sort of split up. I was with Charlene, Andrea, Elena, and Luz. First, we rode the X-rider. We chose Underworld 3 since we want something that'll scare our guts out. Well, it sort of did. We were all screaming inside like crazy. :p After that, we went to a karaoke, then sang our hearts out. Time flies, then voila, its time for us to go home. I felt sad. I wish I could go back. But then, I know that I can't. :( They all asked for hugs before we go our separate ways.

If there's one thing that didn't change, it would be our friendship. You know the complete happiness that I felt once again. They are the only ones who could give that to me. :D

Here a some pictures (to be uploaded later, or tomorrow)

Having Fun Using The Sepia Effect

Last night, me and my family went out to jog. We jogged last night and on Thursday. That Thursday, I forgot to bring my camera with me so I was unable to capture things. Last night, I made sure that I brought my camera with me. I took pictures of things that capture my eye. Here are the pictures:
Some, the normal pictures. Some, the ones with B/W effect. A lot with Sepia effect.

Walking down the streets of Manila. Busy cats, here, there, and everywhere.

Lights +Nighttime+Camera+Manila= Perfect Shot :)

Nature. It's all about it. :)

Just some random plant.

The unnoticed rock just right beneath the tree.

My personal favorite is this. It simply conveys the simple & happy life here in the Philippines. :P

Le backview. HarHar. :))

A closer look. :))

The pavement simply just rocks. 

People doing their nighttime routines.

One of the best-est & oldest restaurants in Manila. 

There you go, folks.

Just Thoughts......

Hey. So I really don't know how to start this post. Though, this time I will not use words, but pictures that I took last night.
The back story is that I am feeling kind of down yesterday due to reasons that are still left unclear. I wouldn't mention those reasons. Ha.
 When I feel down, I do a lot of things to keep my mind off from thinking about what bothers me or triggers pain. I usually just lie down on my bed to think of the good times. Then, i'll go eat ice cream if we have or just play my guitar or just write. Last night, I wrote things and just captured it.

This is my logo. :)

This song got stuck in my head. :p

My dream camera. :D

A song in my Happy Playlist :p

I really love this line from Taylor Swift's A Place in This World.

2nd Day of September :)

Hey. I wasn't able to blog yesterday due to many reasons. But here I am now typing again. So, I wanted to make the last day of August memorable that I wrote 2 new poems. And here it goes.

This first one is very close to my heart. I mean, I see things the way I see it. Though not most of the people see it the way I see it, my views don't change. Not clear, right? I don't know. But to make it short, I have a different way of seeing it. An example would be the rain. Some would see it as a tragedy and a waste of time. But for me, I like the rain and it makes me feel all the emotions that I should feel. It tells me that its okay to be sad and to slow down once in a while. But, it is also the thing that reminds me that I like all the little things that this world holds. :p

Clouds

by Me, The Writer

The distant cloud that floats in the sky

It represents a poem of this kind

I still don't know why

They tell me its clear, oh my

Not many people see it the way I do

But they like it, they don't have to choose

It haunts me inside, reminding me that I'd be the one to decide

Oh. clouds looking at you now, I wish you see me that way somehow.

This second one is very appropriate for those who feels the same way about this one person. See, this person is not completely a friend. I don't hate her. I dislike her actions and we had a lot of misunderstandings. Its not only me but also my other friends. We tried helping her but she still is doing the same old things. We do hope to settle this on Friday. I do hope so. :)

Why Can't We Be Friends?

by Me, The Writer

There are many reasons

It seems like I'm the only one trying to make it work

You take everything yet you just hold it in

I'm an open door but you closed me right away

We may not have the same likes but I want us to be friends, okay?

In this poem, I try to convey

What I felt when you closed that door that way

I'm not the only one 

And that's for certain

Please lower your boundaries

So we could come in

That way is to a fresh start

A toast to friendship

The end to the warships that blow

I hope you figure it out

I've got too much to say

I hope we'll all be friends someday

Slowly and may not be right away

The past doesn't matter anyway.

Moody Sunday :)

I really can't think of a topic. But, its a Sunday so we went to the mall. And I bought a few things that I really want to buy.

I got myself a new book. ;)

I know its a little bit too early for me to buy a 2013 planner. But I did anyway. :)

There are tons of designs but I really picked this. Wanna know why?

First, I am a person who loves traveling and the cover is like a map. 

Second, I loved that quote in front. When I first saw it, it seemed familiar. Then, I remembered that it is from one of my favorite Robert Frost poems. It is from The Road Not Taken.

This is from Papemelroti by the way. 

And lastly, here are some pics that I took while eating Baker's Hat from The White Hat. 

I love blueberry cheesecake :p

Yum! Yum! :D

I love their spoon. Ha :D

Camper's Hat 

Wizard's Hat

:)

The lights really complement each other. :)

Papemelroti :)

So, let me tell you that I really love buying unique things. Things that make me feel inspired. Papemelroti is one of my fave shops ever. It sells a lot of unique things and with a fair price. Recently, I bought a journal and a box filled with quotes. I really love it. Days pass by and it helped me a lot. ;) Just thought it might help you too. Hehe... :D


I guess what i'm trying to say is that, don't be afraid to go after what you want. Don't be scared to be different. People are created in a way that there is one trait that they will be remembered for.

I'll post the pictures sometime tomorrow. :p

Hugs & Kisses,

Whatever. I Just DON'T Care.

It seems like everybody has been blogging about negative things. I feel so sad whenever I read those. I come to realizations. I don't ever understand it. I try to. Few hours ago, I felt happy. Finally, nothing's wrong. Only the campaign is stressing me. But then, there came Lunch and me and my friends are talking about friendships (the one the we -girls have). I don't know why or how it came to the point where my friend told me about someone saying a bad thing about me. I know its normal. I know it happens. But, I've had enough of this person. I wish I could tell that person. Does it feel good? Bringing me down then? And a few days ago, you did it again. I don't care anymore. But why? What wrong did I do to you? Did it ever enter your mind, that somehow you should move on and do the same. It's your fault. It's all your doings. Not me, her, or them. It's all you. I have said bad things about you. But, just that day. That day, where and when it all started. I accepted your apology before. But I can't seem to forget. I don't hold grudges. You should know that. I just want to punch you in the face. Yes, I really want to. You are insensitive. I can say nothing more. I wouldn't want to be like you. Someday, I hope you will think more. Of what you say and do. Don't say that you did it for him. I know you did not. You're a bad liar. You're just using him to have a better story. Stop using people. Stop complicating lives. The world does not revolve around you. I am so tired of you and your alibis. You won't ever get it. Just stop. That's it. I don't care. Oh. Does it bother you? Of course not. You're the one who I wish I didn't meet. When you came, everybody's life got complicated. In short, you ruined it. We used to be really close. Our class, I mean. Only, excluding you.

P.S. Sorry for the negativity. I just need to express myself.

Hugs&Kisses,

I May Not Be Perfect But.......

1. I am trust worthy and reliable. (I am not bragging, but I know that people can surely rely on me. Trust worthy? Oh, yes. I am.) Trust is a fragile thing.
2. I know my responsibilities. (Being the eldest, I get the most of the responsibilities. (I.e, Being in-charge whenever me and my siblings are left alone.)
3. I  make the ones I love feel loved. (In so many ways, I mean we only have one shot at life right?)
4. I appreciate the little things. (Like notes that are posted early in the morning or any time of the day . It makes me smile. :) )
5. I keep track of what I do with my life. (I am goal-minded. I have my dreams. They keep me sane. :p)

P.S. Please don't misunderstand this post. For the record, I am not bragging. :D I just think of happy thoughts :)

Rainy Weekend

Many things happened this week. I'm still not real sure if I am happy with it. I was forced but then whenever I think about it I am confused. Ugh! Well, maybe if I just let fate decide everything will be fine. Next few weeks are going to be the most stressful weeks of my sophomore year. I just hope I can still have enough rest. I get it. I am a little exaggerating of what happened. I really didn't think this would be that hard.

Hugs & Kisses.

High School Diaries: First 3 days of Sophomore

Hey! So, first I would like to say thank you to all of my 'travelers'/readers. I call my readers 'travelers' because Rainbow After the Rain is mostly about life's journey. Travelers, thank you so much. I also wish to know you better. If you guys don't mind, I'd like you to suggest topics, okay? How? Comment on the post. :D

Second, this year's post would be mostly about school, friends, life, music & other things. :)

Third, I want to introduce my poetry side. I write poems . Some got posted on my old blog. But since this is a new one all of my recent poems will be posted here. Don't worry though, I'll still post the old ones here. ^_~

Okay, so let's start our topic.Opening of classes in our school happened on Wednesday, so we finished our first week yesterday. I won't tell you any more of the first day's details since I have posted one already. The second day was really funny. Lots of introductions were heard that day. Also, our school held a fire/ earthquake drill. We started the day with permanent seats, greetings and prayer. I found our teachers okay. I was feeling better that day. Finally, I feel like sophomore year's going to be a blast. HaHa :) The last day of our first week was better. Discussions already started. We talked about different things. An example would be the probable candidates for our school government. The day went fast and before I knew it I was riding the car going home.

P.S. In our Literature class, a quote was presented by our teacher.

Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.
Winston Churchill

High School Diaries: First Day of Sophomore Year ^_~

Hey. So, this is the first day of Sophomore year. And, I think that this would be a good topic to discuss.
Well, this day is quite special. It is the first day of school and I consider it important. Last night, I slept with the thought that maybe, just maybe things will be better. We're not the newbies anymore. We are getting older and more responsibilities are given to us.

I was really nervous as I got out of the car. I mean, I just don't know why but I feel like this is all new again. But, aside from the paint, teachers, students, and the classes, I realized that our class didn't change that much. Our adviser is our Math teacher. She's been teaching there for quite a while now. The day started with a lot of introductions, rules, and a mixed feeling of awkwardness and happiness. I was feeling better. The classroom's theme is Adventure Time which I like. :)  We also wrote our goals for the school year. Today is a half day so we're done by 12pm. Tomorrow's the start of a regular day.

The highlight of this day is meeting up with classmates/ friends. Its just so normal to be with them. HAHA..... :D

Hugs & Kisses,
Jas[giggles]28 ^_~

Injured. That's the word.

So, yesterday was my grandmother's birthday. She had a great party. A party filled with friends, food and fun. But, that day due to my clumsiness, my right foot got sprained. Yes, it did. It hurts up until now.

During the party, I enjoyed. But, not that much. I can't do things that would require a lot of walking, running and etc. I just can't take it.

On my mind, there's this phrase that's been throughout the night. It goes like this "So, this is how it feels."
Ugh.......I admit though I am really clumsy. But with the help of my granny's friend .....my foot feels better now.

P.S. I hope my foot heals fast enough.

Hugs & Kisses,
Jas[giggles]28 ^_~

That Was Then This Is Now ^_~

This post is mostly going to be about........read so you'll find out :)

Do you guys feel sad when you remember the good old times that you had at least once in your life? How it felt? How you would write the date somewhere so that you'd always remember. When everything seemed simpler that time? That somehow less is always more. That the little things were the ones you remember most?  I think that everyone feels this. It is something that is quite normal in life. :D Well, I just think so.

This quote says

Be Positive no matter what!
Believe in yourself.
Accept the good and bad things that life throws at you.
And lastly,
Everything happens for a reason :p









P.S. Simple but short post.....what do you think? ^_~

Hugs & Kisses,
Jas[giggles]28
