Summer 2013 : Review Centers, Kumon, Cupcakes and Cashmere

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Summer 2013 was the summer vacation wherein I found myself extremely productive. Unlike my previous summer vacations where we visited Puerto Princesa, Palawan, Singapore and Hong Kong then we were pretty much useless before the trip, this year, I decided to concentrate more on preparing for the College Entrance Tests that I will be taking in the next couple of months.

My friends and I enrolled at PTS Review Systems for the College Entrance Test Review. It was also another way of bonding with my friends Vallea, Justine, Nicole, Aubrey and AC, that's why the classes weren't always dull. Some of our group's favorite teachers were Sir Enrico and Ros. We learned a lot of meaningful things in PTS that had not been imparted to us by our previous teachers back at school and that's why I think it was fulfilling and at the same time, fun because I enjoyed the company of the people around me. My mom also enrolled my sister and I in Kumon, a children's review center.

YEHEY WOHOO YES SUMMER TIME” when you hear this from the students, you will know it it’s an indication that summer has arrived. So what did I accomplish during summer?

I didn’t have a luxurious vacation like having a night in another country nor spend the week at Boracay but having and experiencing this simple but complicated things and matters this summer made me feel braver and stronger.

First meet my best friends the tallest is Nicole and the one in orange is Shenna. I just want to share this event because this is one of the things in summer that helped me a lot. May 21, 2013 we attended Shenna’s recital at Araneta Coliseum. At the venue, we shouted and supported Shenna by the time she was already performing. After that we had our dinner at a fast-food chain, like the usual we ate at KFC and it was already past midnight. I informed my parents that I'm sorry because I made them worry and I'll arrive at home late and all. I can’t even eat properly Shenna and Nicole kept on telling me “sorry ha mapapagalitan ka na uyy kain ka na sige ka papayat ka” these lines helped me to enjoy the day even I know that my parents will scold me when I got home.

What im saying is that we came from different schools like Shenna from San Benildo Nicole from St.Scho Pampanga and me at PCSHS but we don’t forget to bond with each other if we have time, this bond between us is “unkabokable” its strong this bond keeps on going for 7 years, its priceless.

Philippine Independence Day is an annual national holiday commemorating the Day of Freedom or "Araw ng Kalayaan". It is observed every 12th of June to commemorate the Philippine Declaration of Independence from Spain on June 12, 1898.

Independence Day was officially observed on July 4 until the Republic Act No. 4166, which set out to move the holiday to June 12, was approved on August 4, 1964.

It is a day when many people, including government officials, employees, and students, participate in nationwide celebrations in the form of parades and events related to Independence Day. However, the main highlight is the police and military parade in Manila headed by the country’s incumbent president, followed by a speech and a 21-gun salute.
