At last I'm now sweet 16
On the 15th of January 1991, me, a cute baby was born named Elaine Reina Miranda. This 2007, I just turned sweet 16. I was so thankful to God that he allowed me to live this far. I hope that he would still give me more happy years to come. I guess this is another year of laughters, cries, tensions, worries yet I am still hoping to survive after all of these obstacles. The past fifteen years had been years of ups and downs but I'm still here existing and writing this blog. It only implies that I am a survivor after 15 years of struggles for God is always there to pick me up when I was down. Without him, I would not come this far. I celebrated my sweet 16 birthday with my family since it is a holiday after the ASEAN Summit. When I woke up, I hurriedly looked at my cellphone to check who texted me since that is my first thing to do when I woke up. I read the message of my mom greeting me a happy birthday which put a big smile on my face though I know that my mom is just in the other room. My friends and my classmates also greeted me with wishes of more luck and happiness for my new year. I was so happy to read those messages. I went out of my room and received a big hug and a sweet kiss from my mom with a bithday greeting. My sisters and my brother also greeted me and I felt so grateful to them. We prepared food like fruitsalad, ice cream, chicken, pork adobo,lechon baboy and also cake. We ate together happily and I realized that after my 15 years and until my 16th that my family had always been there supporing me. My birthday was very satisfying since I celebrated it with the most important persons in my life. I felt how lucky I am having a family in which I belong. I still celebrated my birthday happily despite of the fact that it is my 2nd birthday without my dad. Partly, I was sad since I miss him so much. How I wished I had the chance to hear him again greeting me a happy birthday with a loving hug. If only I could turn back time. But I know that he is now with our creator and I know that if he is still here, he is the first person to greet me. I'm sure that my dad is happy for me. I recognized his presence during my birthday. I did not end the day without going to the cemetery to visit my dad. Generally I am very happy during my birthday. I celebrated it with the people who love me so much and always there for me. Though my dad was not there, I know he was there celebrating with us. Thank you God for giving me a happy family and kindly take care of my dad.
A very nice bday present
As I was holding my cellphone reading messages of greetings during my birthday, the best message that I receive was a message from my Ate bringing a good news that she ppassed the Nursing Licensure Exam. When I receive the message I thank God for a very nice birthday gift. It was a gift that I did not expect. I was very happy for my ate. I couldn't find the reason why the results were posed on the day of my birthday. I guess, god had really given me the best birthday gift. Finally my ate is now a licensed nurse. Actually it is here second course. She had already finished BS Biology at the University of the Philippines Cebu College. She took up nursing because she wants to go abroad with her family. Now my ate will be able to fulfill her dreams. The happiness it brought to me can never be replace by any material thing. Knowing that my ate had passed is enough to complete my birthday. Thank you God for the success of my ate and at the same time the best birthday gift for me.
How my future goes
It was January 21, 2006 when the results of the UP College Admission Test was posted online. I had butterflies on my stomach upon receiveing a text message from my classmates saying that the results can now be seen online. I hurriedly went to the internet cafe to check if I passed the test that would determine my future. As I open the page, my hands are trembling while having questions on my head like what if I did not pass, where will I study if ever. But my nervousness was alleviated when I saw my name in the list of passers. thank God that I passed the UPCAT. Now I will have the chance to continue to study in this premiere university. It had always been my dream to continue studying here. I went home and I shared the news with my sisters. My mom was not yet at home and I wanted to surprise her about the news. When my mom arrived, I told her the news and she was so happy for me. She said that it is another blessing after my Ate had passed the nusing licensure exam. We went right away to the cemetery to bring the good news to my dad. I was so touched when I heard my mom saying to my dad that she is so proud of us. I'm sure my dad is also proud of us too. I will fufill my dreams and be successful someday.
But is this really the one for me? Why is it that my mind is still torn between two courses. Is it really business management or nursing? I only have 2 months left to decide. I want to meet new people. Explore other world. I want to grow. I'm confuse if I would really want to continue studying in UP or try other school.
This question keeps on bothering me. But I am really proud of the fact that i passed the UPCAT. I have proved somethinf to myself. It had been a dream come true. I still have two months to decide.Hopefully I could make up my mind before that 2 months is over.

The problem of men yet the problem of women
Every person is unique. You cannot find two persons exactly the same,not even twins.
Men and women are really different not only biologically. They may vary in their thoughts, opinions and others. So what's the problem of men now?How about women?
For me the problem of men is that they think that they are superior to women but I don't think so. There is equality in the society. A job for men has a counterpart to the side of the women. Another is that men are so insensitive. They don't care about the feelings of others. All they care is that they are happy with what they are doing not considering the effect of it to others. They might have hurt a person but they still did not know that they are doing so. Especially if you are in a relationship well based on experience.
On the other hand, women are so moody. Whatever they feel, that affects what they do to other people. If they feel angry then they might feel angry to the whole world. If they are sad, they want the whole world to be sad. This is the greatest problem about women for me, for I'm one of those girls who is like that.
We are growing teenagers. We can't help. We have to undergo this chganges. All we have to do is to adjust on our opposite sex. Whatever you are, a girl or a boy, you just have to be yourself. It's not bad being ourselves yet we just have to be sensitive to others. the problem of men id also the problem of women since we share the same world. Be open minded. It's not really a problem. It's a matter of understanding!

An ending yet a Beginning of something
Two months more to go we will be leaving the school where we spent our 4 years of laughters,tears,ups and downs. I can still remember the first day that I took my first step in UP High. It was the first day of classes of the schoolyear 2003-2004. I had butterflies in my stomach of course since I don't have any elementary classmate with me even one.I met different kinds of people. There are those who are very outspoken and there are also those who are very shy. I don't know where I would classify myself. The first day of school was for me is still a period of adjustment and observation.
Four years had passed, observations?adjutment?Not anymore. I had known my batchmates very well now. I've realized that it is so painful leaving our school and discovering another world since it would mean leaving my highschool life. The life that has been so far the best for me. I found true friends. I discovered the real me. I learned to to adjust. I developed my skills and abilities. Most of all, a turning point of my life from a very playful kid to a very conscious lady.
As much as I wanted to stay, yet all of us had to go on with our lives. We have to pursue to college in order to reach our dreams. With this two months left for my high school life, I will spend it with the best of my laughters to make it a very memorable treasure for me and for my batchmates as well. All I wished for is for all of us to be able to reach our dreams and be successful in life. Good Luck batch 2006-2007 of UP High!
