    As another school year comes to an end, I just figured out one particular thing. For many months, I came to another realization. It might not be always, but my behavior changes every time I go to school. My attitude towards people might be good...or worse.     Since my adolescence at high school, I'm turning to be a new person. Not really new, but reformatted. Nonetheless, I'll be honest with you. As a freshman, and in my own opinion, I was turned to be a mess. Yes. They say I'm the kind of person who is spiritual or religious, who gives pieces of advice.

As the impeachment trial played on the TV screen, I am on my table reading every notes that I had since the very beginning. I struggled being sleepy, and I took breaks lying on a sofa. I finished my review, together with Algebra, at about half past 9-that included my dinner.     The next day, that day, I took the test. English was good enough, and I hope what I got is passing.     Then came the next one: SocSci. Die hard SocSci test. It really meant to be c

Google's home page in celebration of the Int'l Women's Day    Last January 1st, I had a chat with a close friend of mine. She asked me, "What is a true woman to you?" And that question sparked an ideal topic for me to blog about.    Here am I to blog about it.Welcome back to my blog.I missed Dispatch for many weeks and days,since I toiled for school,for grade's sake.I am coming back with this topic.Let's get started.       First, a true woman is beautiful inside.Each and every Eve are made in God's image, and they are blessed to have faces of either beauty or strength or uniqueness.A true woman is kind and gentle.Loving and caring.Fair and just.Honest and not making tricks.She is also not a flirt.    A true woman has respect on herself.She is not be regarded as any item of lust.She should never exploit herself in clubs, just to earn a living for her poor family.It's a disrespect for herself to pose on any dirty periodical, exposing her body, or wo
