Restore all things in Christ !
 |
| Some of us Team Restore with Father Leo |
Our hard work is worth it. Now, we are more inspired in doing more articles because we already have the tangible works. Though the newsletter has still some minor errors, we are now aware of our mistakes.We'll do better next time. Also when my mom noticed the errors, she said to me that it's fine because we are not doing this for the people( though in the back of my mind I say there's a part that we're also doing this for them xD ) but for God. ;)
Good job Team Restore! Congratulations to us! Hoorahh !

The Quest to Happiness
Recently, I have observed myself that I was becoming too depressed in everything I do (I think my course was still the main cause). I kept on worrying about things that doesn't really matter . I became fearful and a negative thinking human.It's just that I find it hard to be happy and just smile.Soon, I realized I was getting tired of being like this, it just stressed me out most. I am young yet I worry as if I carry all the problems in the world.So, I decided to read some inspirational books.
First, I reread my favorite self-help book " The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens" by Sean Covey. For the third time of reading this,now is the only time that it really helped me to improve myself. I have learned that I have to change myself step by step in order to attain happiness. By doing that first, I can help others as well. I never get tired of reading this book because it's so fun and very helpful.
Next, I got bored again and still felt that I didn't achieve the happiness I was aiming for. I was still not extremely inspired. I realized that I also want to do something for my dreams. I searched in bookstores about books related to this. But it gave me confusion on which book is better. In the end , I depended on the internet. I find people's reviews about what books are best in fulfilling someone's happiness and dreams.
Then I stumbled upon a website and found the book that I also saw in the bookstore. So, I downloaded the PDF file and tried reading it. It was "The Happiness Project " by Gretchen Rubin. I'm not yet done reading this, but it already boosts my positivity. I'm amazed by how determined she is in attaining her happiness.The research she made and quotes she compiled really inspired me. It was fun reading her resolutions throughout the year. I was also motivated by her energy of doing this.
I was still not contented. I wanted to read more inspirational books and fuel myself with positive thoughts. I
searched for more and found out about another PDF file "Break-Out-Of-Your-Box" by Britni Danielle.
This book tackles about ways on how to follow your dreams. It is very inspirational to the point that it just releases every positive energy I have in my mind. It literally helps me in fulfilling my dreams. Because the author stated that no dream is impossible , we just have to make it ourselves for it to come true. It's true what the quote says "Great things come in small packages" , because this 30-page book is so meaningful. It's easy to read and straight to the point. This book made me realize that my dream of becoming an editor of a magazine or making my own magazine can come true. Wish me luck!
>Other Stuff :
--Journal
Besides finding inspirational books, I also got busy in making a journal. Though I haven't bought one yet, my decision is final, that I would make one and separate it from my diary. I am the type of person who just love to write my thoughts down. Whenever I think of something, or feel about anything, I wrote them on my diary. But then I realize again, that I want all my rants, feelings, thoughts to be organized and be compiled in one notebook without the daily happenings of my life.Actually I get excited whenever I write, so I get more thrilled to create a journal. I have listed all the things that I want to put there (I'm so weird ,I know) .
Yay to journaling !
--Inspiration Board
I knew about this idea from a magazine, and I said to myself that I also want to try it. An inspiration board is basically just a board filled with pictures, memos, quotes of anything that gives you hope and inspirations.
.
This can be a big help for me not only in school but in life. So, whenever I work on my red desk, I would always be inspired because staring at this board with my interests can give me energy . It will also help me stay happy and positive everyday. I'm planning to post stuff related to my dreams to be a singer and a writer.Keep the hopes up!
--Practice Writing (also for Restore)
I have already mentioned here about our church pamphlet 'RESTORE' , and me as its managing editor. This already gives me the opportunity to continue my passion. It challenges me to be better on my skills in writing, and somehow leadership.
So, I pledge not to abandon my ability to write. Because it's still what I want after all this time. It makes me happy. I would still practice my skills in writing more novels , short stories ,poems and of course here in my blog. Even if no one bothers to read or like them.
--Sing my heart out
Ah, my first ever love in the whole universe;singing! No one can stop me and my voice. This is how I breath.
I vow to sing everyday, may it be in showers or in my bedroom. I must get inspired daily by singing more and more. I must not get tired of recording more covers in my soundcloud account and in my cellphone.
I 'm truly happy now that I can share this talent to anyone. I must not be scared to follow my dream to be a singer someday.
Well, as of today I am still on my quest to attain happiness. It enlightens me and my mood everyday , whenever I think of my dreams. So, I dare you too, to stand up and reach for your dreams in life. Don't be afraid of what other people would think of you. Let us all be with this together and follow what our heart truly desires. I , myself am glad that I am on the process of being optimistic. I feel more happy, inspired and relaxed. So , let us keep the hopes up. Dream and be happy !

Le Graduate at 2014
Kahapon, May 8 ay nagpapictorial na ako para sa yearbook namin. Akalain mo nga namang gagaraduate na ako sa susunod na taon? Sana nga, makagraduate ako! Palimos ng pag-asa!
Matagal tagal na rin ang nakalipas mula ng pinag-isipan ko pa noon kung anong kurso ang gusto ko. Inaamin ko naman hanggang sa ngayon, na hindi talaga ito ang pinaka gusto ko talagang kurso, kumbaga 'second choice' lang. Alam ko naman sa sarili ko ito, na hanggang sa ngayon nararamdaman ko pa rin na hindi ito ang nararapat para sa akin. May mga panahon na nanliliit ako sa sarili ko kapag nakikita ko yung mga ka schoolmates ko na magagaling at gustong gusto nila yung ginagawa nila. Yung tipong kahit natutulog sila , alam na alam nila sa puso nila na 'Ito talaga ang gusto kong gawin habambuhay'. Pero syempre ano pa ba ang magagawa ko? Ginusto ko 'to eh, tapusin na lang. Tsaka kahit papaano naman nagugustuhan ko na. Nakaka-enjoy din naman. Ang kinakatakot ko lang ay kung hanggang kelan? Kumbaga feel ko limitado ang lahat. Ewan.
So ayun na nga, ayoko ng maging emo. Sawang -sawa na rin kasi ako sa kakaisip ng ganito. Simula't sapul ito na yung iniisip ko lagi.
Anyway, basta nakakenjoy din naman yung pictorial. :D Ang saya lang nung creative shots na nasa parang box.
Ayun, good luck sana nga maka graduate ako sa 2014 :>
P.S Ang tanda ko na hahah

My never ending love for books
Besides singing and writing, or watching television and surfing the net. You can probably find me doing this: quiet sitting alone and reading a book. I know I already post an article here about my love for books.But what can I do? I'm still hooked with them. Especially now that I have realized how many things I have learned in reading a novel. I can't think of a simple thought on how a book can instantly hit you with many realizations and thoughts that you can ponder. How amazing it was how a book can be your best teacher without even talking to you. It's as if the authors' thoughts were transfered to the reader and the reader was influenced by them. I think that's how it happened.
Maybe also, I came to realize this after reading John Green's "The fault in our stars". Anyway, these past few days I always came to a certain realization about many things. And i am delighted about thinking them. Sometimes all I wanted is answers. But then I realized again, not all things have answers and sometimes ignorance is a bliss. There will always have reasons that will be known in time. I don't know.
Back to the topic about books. As of today, you can say that I am strongly addicted to them. I have many books in my shelf that haven't been read yet. And I pity myself for abondoning them and the knowledge I should have learned because of them. Sometimes I wonder, if I could read all the books in the world, maybe it's fun. Sometimes I also thought of publishing my own novel. It seems cool.
I also envy those people who always find time in reading novels. Because in my opinion , they have learned and enjoyed a lot. Anyway, it's a great feeling after reading a good book. Because you never knew how could it change you and your thoughts.
Like what they always say you can never imagine a world without books .
