Burn That Light

      Are you guys ready for this? Are you ready for the massive thirst? Are you ready for your skin as it gets darker? As the water gets warmer? Music gets louder, nights get longer, and mostly, life gets better. And so this is it. As the summer begins to invade us, let's bring and feel the heat!

    As a child, it is usually the time for fun with the sun and began with the ringing of the last bell of the day. It signified that it was time to throw away old homework assignments and to forget about anything to do with school for three months at least. It is usually the most awaited part of the year, the summer. This is a time of simple pleasures and exciting times of the year. This is actually a great time of having late night sleepovers with best friends, hanging out at somewhere you want, and not having to worry about homework, projects, and any other stuff at school that had been lingering in the mind since classes began after this vacation. Some of us could be excited for this, and some are not. Some would rather go to the places like they've never known. Some will visit their relatives in their provinces. Some would go for an outing like having a swimming in a beach or into a pool. When this vacation finally rolls around, I can never make up my mind-on what to do first. Should I go outside at exactly 12 in the afternoon like a hotdog being fried in the pan? Should I ride with my bike together with my friends out there and go home when we got exhausted? Should I go with my friends and have a great bonding just like we used to? Or should I go to sleep until the summer ends because I feel like I'm one of those zombies? Well, that could be my options and let me decide about this. One thing was for certain though, the family vacation. For some, it was a dreadful thing but not for my close knit family and me. But then again, let's just enjoy and have some great and good time with our family and friends. Some of us would be problematic as the vacation comes. Do you want to know why? It's all because about the money. Without money, some lives would be ruined. Well of course, we cannot buy the things that we want. Some of us absolutely need this for some reason. Maybe, it’s financially or in any kind of purpose. But for some, there's no big deal about it as long as there are friends to cherish with during the season. There are some of us would have this vacation as simple. Simple in a way that no trip to vacation, no hanging out especially swimming, and nothing at all. What I'm talking about is they're just inside their homes. They're in front of their computer and laptops or any other gadgets that they have. They are just there watching T.V. in a nonsense way. I don't find that thing as boring, but I may call it as simple as that.


      For us, this is very important. We usually do what we want to. We sleep and rest whenever we want to. We hang out with them wherever we want to. We have different stories for this coming vacation. We have our own way to enjoy our vacation for a couple of months. As a child, they used to play outside with their mates until the night gets late. They will laugh until they got choked. As a teenager, they used to go to places that we want for adventure. We do it for experiences and share with others. And as an adult, they used this time for rest and some sort of work at home. They used to spend time with their family that they have. But there’s only one thing that I can assure you is that we all feel the heat. So let's all burn the light together and have fun.

Moving To Another Town

 I've been telling this to my couple of friends that we're moving to another town for so many times these past weeks. From Makati City, we’re going to transfer to Antipolo City. I also told them that there's a possibility that I can't continue to study in the same school anymore. I even told them that I'll transfer from another school due to the distance that I may travel if we moved there. My friends and schoolmates out there can't even believe me. Some of them are shocked; some of them don't believe me as I used to make fun to them. But this time, let's make it more serious.


 I started having this unnecessary feeling since last week when I got home late. I was at school for our Career Factor batch 5. After that session, I decided to come and join with my co-facilitators and friends to watch their practice of cheering together with the other cluster’s practice there in BCDA. I witnessed some of the performances, and their awesome. As the clock is ticking, night’s getting late and dark outside, we decided to go home first. As I reached my home, there they are. I found them gathered and having a couple of drink with my relatives who’ll help them to haul our things later on. They’re just waiting for the jeep that will be used to carry the baggage. I’m tired and sleepy that time, but there’s no reason for me to rest for a sudden. I am needed to help them and will arrange those hauled baggage there. It’s just a few hours as we reached our destination because of the clear road and no other vehicles around, thanks to that. We continue to pack those things up in our newly own home, sweet home. We almost finished the tasks without seeing the sunrise. And so there I am, can’t sleep easily. So, I decided to check my accounts first, talk to some friends, and listen to music. I finally yawn and get some sleep at 4am. (Ohh, that’s so late! But it is normal for those nocturnal. LOL)


  We finally got home again here in Makati because there are still some important things here. We’re not yet officially moved from the town that I am pertaining. It’s sad to think that I may leave those people who used to be special and important to me, and I have nothing to do about it but accept the fact that it will happen for all of a sudden.  I know that it's hard for them to know, and of course for me to broadcast this kind of news, but I have nothing to do with this one. I want to continue and finish my studies in that school as I also promised it to myself. But as I visualized what will happen, I'll give up with that kind of scenario. So, there comes a thought that I’m going to transfer from another school. My parents also suggested for this one, but my classmates, friends and schoolmates would rather not agree with it. There was a case that my sister and I will rent a room here in Makati to continue our studies here. Since she passed the entrance exam in Makati Science and I’ll be a 3^rd year soon, we agreed with that. And still we can’t find even a single room nearby our schools. I appreciated also those friends that helping me find a room for us to stay. I am very thankful that I have those people and I really appreciated it. There is still hope in me, and with that case, I won’t easily give up and give in.


It’s really hard for us, both my friends and I to come up with this kind of situation. Some began to be dramatic when they heard about this one. Some of them will miss me. I can’t imagine that I’m being missed someday. I don’t want that kind of feeling because I am not accustomed with that. I just only want them to accept those facts and smile. I don’t even remember that I said goodbye to them, I just remember that I’ll see them soon. I may find new friends, new environment, new faces, new names, new world, but I won’t forget those people that didn’t turn their backs on me, those people who accepts me for what I am and for who I am, those people that are always there for me in ups and downs. But after all of those that I’ve just said, I will not transfer to another school, just transfer from another house.


And yet, we still have 5 days left to stay in this town. What will be going to happen as we moved there? Some changes will be witnessed and adjustments. I can come up with this and struggle with it.
