"DESCRIBE YOURSELF AS AN ADULT"
As we all know, there are many adults now who are living and dying in this world. I can say that the adults had already experienced the hard and easy problems in life. Some of them give up while on the other hand, the other adults tend to survive. That's why with adults, we learn many things in life.
I myself have my own view when it comes to being an adult. Being a good adult is someone who does his obligations and responsibilities all the time. An adult should act as a good role model to the people around him or her. He or she should learn to be independent. Also, being confident and having a high self - esteem is one of the most important thing in being an adult. Another thing what an adult should do is that they should learn how to live on their own especially when the time comes that his or her parents are no longer living anymore. They should learn how to make sacrifices too at times. One thing important with adults is that their maturity level would change and with that, they would know what is right and what is wrong when it comes to living it up with their life.
I believe that being an adult is the part where you learn to mature and become more open minded with many things. This is the stage where you are given already obligations by your family or parents. You have to live with it because it's part of growing up and so that you would be prepared in the future ahead of you. But you won't regret it afterwards because it's for your own good and you would definitely thank your parents for it.

6 - A Surprising Welcome Home
"DESCRIBE YOUR RIDE HOME"
Rides going home are usually the time where you feel exhausted already because of working in the office or studying in school for nine hours straight. Another thing is that you have so many school works or office works to do when you get home. You sometimes don't get enough rest anymore. But what's great there is that sometimes when you reached home, you see a great dinner prepared on the dining table. With that, your tiredness would somehow be paid off.
This Surprising welcome home just happened recently. We were just waiting for our dad to arrive in school. When he came, we rode the car and left. Usually when we travel on the way home, we discuss many things. I sometimes start the topic and then it goes on. My father and I were already planning things in what to buy for our dinner. So we decided to buy a roasted chicken in a nearby food store. My dad went down the car to buy the chicken. while we were waiting for our dad to return, my mother suddenly called. She asked if where are we at. So then I said that dad was just buying some chicken but we are leaving soon. So then my dad returned and then we left. After a few minutes we arrived home. We went down the car and then brought down some stuff first. Then after, we went straight inside the house already. When my mother saw us she said that we all look so wasted and exhausted. But based on my observation towards her, she looked so suspicious. I felt like there was something different. So then I just decided to enter my parents room because I had to leave my dad's files in there. When I went out of the room someone just laid an arm around my shoulder and then asked how am I doing. On my surprise, it was my third older brother. He came home from work in the cruise in Europe. We had no idea that he came home. My mother was part of the plan. I actually cried suddenly in front of all of them. My emotions can't be explained. I was full of happiness and at the same time excited. It was really a memorable ride going home.
That's why with this happening, I really treasured the moment. It was one of the greatest thing that happened in my life. Obviously, when it comes to my love ones I really do love them because I really cried and screamed that time. that's why many people would never know sometimes what would end their day. it could be a good one or a bad one.

5 - The Ancestral House in Manaog Pangasinan
"DESCRIBE A PLACE FROM YOUR PAST"
There are many people who went to a lot of places from their past. Usually those places are memorable to them. Maybe even some of them grew up from those places. Other than that, it is really a great experience to be able to explore to other places. What's good is that you would be able to encounter so many adventures and enjoyment in your life.
I grew up knowing to have an Ancestral House in Manaog, Pangasinan. That house was built a long time ago. The Japanese people were the one's who lived there before. Eventually that house was huge. It was made of hard wood. There were only two rooms. That Ancestral House was really near the Manaog Church. It's just walking distance.
According to my dad, all of his family relatives in his father side and their family grew up in that Ancestral House. They had so many family gatherings and parties in that house before. My dad also said that they would always play different kinds of games there. Actually, my two older brothers said they were still able to live in that house. They used to play there too. As for now, that house is empty. No one lives there anymore. Our last grandmother had passed away last year in that house. Knowingly, that Ancestral House has so many bats living in it already. When you enter the house you would be able to smell pee because of the bats. But what's amazing is that the house' foundation is still standing strong even though many years had already passed. The last thing they said about that house was that it has a spirit left inside that big Ancestral House.
I actually enjoyed writing about this topic. It gave me an idea right away in what to write. That's why for me it's really fun when you do a storytelling from the things you have experienced or encountered in your past. Especially now, many people had gone to so many places already. For sure it was so memorable to them.

4 - A Disappointment
"WRITE ABOUT A DISAPPOINTMENT"
What are disappointments? Do these things affect people a lot? Basically, disappointments are really one of the things that makes people down or upset with some situations that they encounter in life. Many people had already experienced disappointments ever since this world started. Not of all them are able to handle the disappointment because for them it's too depressing and upsetting
I was in elementary when this disappointment happened. Grade 6 was my level during that time. It was the time of the year where you start preparing for your graduation practices. So eventually, we were all really focusing on our school works. We didn't want to fail because we were already excited to enter the high school life. But during those days that we had to study and grades that needs to be viewed to our parents was really terrifying and scary. There was a time that we had our Unit Exam. So then, after that we were really nervous because we barely studied for the exam and it was already during that day. After how many days, the grades were finally released. Then we brought it home and had planned so many times how are we going to show it to dad. But then we decided to show it at the same time before he left for work. We got both of our grades out of the brown envelope and then hand it over to him. When we showed our grades to him, we saw that he's facial expression was disappointed. He suddenly threw our grades sheet back on to us and then left for work. So we knew that he was really upset that day. We thought that he won't talk to us anymore. But what's good there is that we apologized right away to him. Good thing he forgave us afterwards.
With this, I learned that as much as possible, you should not upset or disappoint anyone especially who are really close to you. In short, if you know that the person wont be happy with what you are going to do or going to show, don't think of disappointing the person anymore. He might do it to you as well and definitely, you won't like that revenge.

3 - A Good Friend
"DESCRIBE THE QUALITIES OF A GOOD FRIEND"
What is a good friend? Are they important to us? What are their purposes? A friend is a creation of God who is meant to live and to grow old with us. I myself too have many friends already and I believe that everyone of us has a purpose why we have nice and awesome friends. Most of us had friends ever since we were still little. Usually it is what we call our childhood friends.

If you have the good qualities of a good friend, you have a good friendship towards other people. But what are really the qualities of a good friend? One important quality for me is a friend who would always be there for you no matter what happens. When you have problems, he or she will be there to help you solve it. Also, whenever you're sad, he or she will comfort you. That friend of yours would possibly make your day. Another good quality is a friend who accepts you for who you are. No matter how rich or how poor you are, or what kind of attitude or personality you have, that friend would still cherish and treasure the friendship that you both have. A friend who doesn't back-stab or gossip about you is a true and loyal friend because that kind of friend knows who you really are. He or she could possibly know all you strengths and weaknesses already. That's why most people who has so many friends nowadays, act like brothers and sisters.
Having friends is one of the happiest thing a person could have. without them, there would be no fun and excitement to add in your life. What's good is that you have friends who would tell you to change the bad things that you have in you. Other than that, you would learn from them. Though friends are known to be very influential at times because that's where other people would see how you act with your attitude and behavior.

2 - My Mother's Birthday Surprise
"THE SURPRISE"
When you say the word surprise, it is known to be done by many people in a secret way. This is usually the cause of having an excitement to a one special occasion. Actually, this is already a hobby to most people. For me, this is very necessary to do all the time. You get to expect already that you would be able to make someone happy. That's why it's always better to do it intentionally to other people who are very special to you.
It happened two years ago when my mother celebrated her 50th birthday. My family and I were really planning everything. We were so careful in keeping our surprise birthday party for her. She had no idea that even though we were all busy with our office works and school works, we still had the time to schedule and plan everything that was needed for her surprise party. When it was already her birthday, she wasn't really sure of what her plan was. What she knows was that some of her brothers and sisters were busy with many things. What she didn't know was that most of our family members and relatives were already waiting at the venue. They were just there hiding and waiting for our arrival.
My mom actually had an idea already of the sudden change of plans. What my dad told her was that our family friends were there to meet us. One reason they were there also was that they had to replace our family relatives due to lack of presence. So then we left and went on to the restaurant. We finally arrived and got down from the car. Our family friends were there, and they greeted my mom. While on the other hand, she had no idea that our family relatives were already preparing to surprise her. But if you look at her face, you can feel that she was kind of down and disappointed because what she knows was that none of our closest relatives were going to show up. Then after maybe a few minutes, they all suddenly showed up while singing the birthday song. Some of them were bringing the cake. My mother was so surprised. she can't believe what was happening. The other people who she didn't expect to see there, were really there celebrating with her.
Everyone of them were really happy for my mom. They were glad because the surprise was a success. Though my mom said that she kind of had a slight feeling that there was something fishy. Other than that, everyone enjoyed. For my mom, she can't describe the feeling that she had in her that time. She was so overwhelmed and glad. You can see that she really cried because of how surprised and how appreciated she felt during that day. It was really her special day.
With this story, I've learned that it is always a good thing to surprise people. Whenever you make a surprise for someone, they can feel that you appreciate them. Another thing also is that they can feel that they are important to you that's why you make it a point that you do something very special for them. Other than that, you will feel great because you know that you were able to do something good to someone who will never forget the appreciative thing you've done for them.

1 - A Good Parent
"DESCRIBE THE QUALITIES OF A GOOD PARENT"
Based on my experiences with my two parents, I can say that there are several qualities to mention as being a good parent. One is that your parents brought you up to be a good child by teaching you the core values at home. Another good quality to mention also is that they tend to show strictness on you because they just want you to be safe all the time. You can also say that a quality of a good parent is someone who supports and cares for you in times of your needs. A good quality of a parent also is someone who tells and teaches you not to be insecure but rather just being who you are. Being natural and being confident with yourself would always be the number one fact at times. Another quality of a good parent is someone who always tell you what is right or wrong. In short, that parent would act as a good role model to his or her children and that parent would give them additional knowledge in how to be a good parent also someday. Lastly, is that a good quality of a good parent is a parent who is proud of his or her children. He or she is never embarrassed to show his or her child.
For me, it is very important to know really the qualities of a good parent because someday, I would be a parent too. I would definitely need this qualities so that I would be successful in bringing up my own child. That's why I'm thankful to the Lord because I have the chance to be able to learn more from my parents.

10 - Beauty of Nature
POEM
A beautiful thing to be seen
How much should it be appreciated
Existed before Christ
What a wonderful creation has been made
How lovely are the Flowers
With the colors that complement
A scent of them that smells so sweet
It gives you a happy heart
The lively green Trees that sways
Because of the wind that blows
Breeziness is felt and
Fresh air is inhaled
A River flowing down
To the wide looking lake
Rocks and Boulders are felt cold
Because of the river flowing on them
The waving Ocean
Is a big body of water
So very blue and deep
It would never run out
Different Creatures and
Different Species
All unique and existing
Commanded to go and multiply
Beauty of Nature
With all the calmness and peace
Seeking the Paradise of it
Would be forever and always
Originally Composed by : Bernadette Corpus
9 - The Touch Of A Piano
POEM
A single press on the keyboard
Echoes a perfect tone of sound
Feeling the coldness and the warmth
Because of the calm excitement
When a pleasant tone was made
Smoothness was the reason why
A perfect piece was played
How wonderful it is to hear
I get carried away
By the song being expressed
Overwhelmed or not
Emotions are all over the place
A smile comes out
On a glad looking face
For it lightens up
The heart and soul
A passion to share and
A passion to hope for
A God given feeling
How wonderful it would always be

8 - My Hope for the Future
WHEN I'M OLDER
Knowingly, many teenagers and adults nowadays are successful with their work and obligations in life. Even with their dream goals, they were able to accomplish a lot of them. That's why many of them are focusing on their families right now because they want to return all the favors. If not because of their families care and support, they might not be able to achieve their goals in life. It is very overwhelming to see the people whom you love being happy with the things that you give to them because it shows that they really appreciate the support you are giving to them now.

It is very overwhelming to see the people whom you love being happy with the things that you give to them because it shows that they really appreciate the support you are giving to them now.
I myself have dreams and goals too when I'm older. First is that I want to be able to finish all my school works. School works that I would encounter from my freshmen year up to my internship year. I want also to be able to graduate college soon. When I'm older, I want to be able to find the best job for me. The job where it has nice figures or salary and it is also a God given one. Technically a career related to the course that I took so that I won't have to experience much difficulty and I would enjoy my work, and also, I won't be out of place. I want to be successful with my future career because I gave a word to my parents that I would help them in the time where I am already working. Facing my new obligations towards my family is part of growing up. Your life is really meant to go on like that. It's also the time in your life where you become so matured with many things. Another one is that when I'm older, I want to do things freely. Like I want to have this certain freedom where I can do mostly anything. In short, I want my parents to be less strict and less overprotective when that time comes. Getting married and having kids are also two things that I want to happen when I'm older. I want to marry someone who is like my father. Also, I want to have beautiful and cute babies. Babies that came from me and which I can call mine.
Basically when your older, that's where everything starts. Your life being a young teenager would have a total turn around. Not only your maturity would change, even your adolescence would. When you are already facing the real world, expect that you would encounter more trials and challenges in life. That's why many people say expect the unexpected. But if you are close to God, you shouldn't worry much. Just always remember that God will never leave nor forsake you. He's in charge of what's coming ahead of your life.

7 - What's Good and Bad about being Alone?
ALONE
Many people nowadays, are adapting this kind of attitude being a loner. Some of them spend much of their time doing nothing, while on the other hand, some of them spend most their time doing their favorite hobbies or interests. Instead of doing their comfort zones with their circle of friends, they rather do it alone with themselves because for them it's more convenient and less hassle when they do it in a solo way.
A person who is always spending his or her time being alone has different kinds of reasons or views towards it. They have this kind of attitude where they just want to be alone in one place and stare or look at something. Like for example the wall or the ceiling, they would imagine many things while they are just staring at them. Another one is when some people go to some places like the mall or the grocery stores, they would rather go alone than to be accompanied by someone because for them it's easier to move faster. Some people just read books in one corner. They tend to feel the peace and silence surrounding them especially if they are engrossed with the story that they are reading. Also with music, people tend to listen to music all the time because they feel relaxed and calm whenever they hear one. It's like being alone with music helps them express what they feel inside them or it could possibly give them inspiration whenever they are working on something. Another one also is that many people nowadays love to be living alone in with their own lives because some of them doesn't want to be obliged with anything especially if it's about family matters.
I was able to realize many things about this topic. It really has some positive and negative things about it. Like for positive, it can help you avoid doing bad things with other people. Another one also is that you can do whatever you want. You would be able to do all your plans and agendas. It's also possible that you won't have to worry spending or sharing time with other people. For the negative things, there is the tendency that you would become an introvert because you don't know what the people are thinking about you. You might think that people would always say negative things about you. What's worst is that you might possibly think that you are being judged. Another thing is that you can be called a loner by someone especially if you are the type of person who doesn't communicate or interact with other people. There is a possibility that your self-esteem and self-confidence would level down because you don't have someone who can support or cheer for you in the times that you need one.

Whenever you say something about a person, you get to think of the things that would describe him or her. It's also possible that you would mention something unique about that person. That's why you could also be tested in how well do you know the person already. But for me, describing a person is also one way where you can be able to share to other people what type of person he or she is.

How would I describe Bernard Corpus as my sibling? Well for me, we are partners in crime. When it comes to big or minor problems, he is always there to back me up. Sometimes, he would also help me with my opinions and decision makings. There are times that he doesn't agree with my opinions. That's why it's also hard if you both have different views. But knowing Bernard, he has different kinds of personalities that most people don't see in him. He's this type of guy who is really sweet and caring when it comes to his family and friends. Whenever you need a help with something, he would try all his best in helping you with your problem. Bernard is a sensitive person. He doesn't want getting hurt or seeing other people getting hurt. Though there are times that he likes teasing or making fun of other people especially if what the person did was really funny. One victim of that is me. I easily get upset whenever he bullies me or teases me. It irritates me a lot because usually that's the cause of our argument. Then we end up stirring fights sometimes. But what I like about Bernard is that he can easily change my bad mood into a good mood. He would usually say something really funny and amusing, and I have no choice but to laugh really hard. Even when he is in front of the class, he would always capture the attention of the audience. That's why I can really say that he has a good sense of humor. A natural comedian if I must say. But my most favorite thing about Bernard is that we are both gamers and we both love eating. I am actually happy about it because at least we have things in common also.
If you are describing or saying something about a person, you should really get to know the person first, so that you can avoid judging or criticizing the person. You can be able to see his or her real attitude or personality. Even how the person acts with his or her natural behavior. But for me, I like being real with the person sometimes so that he or she is aware of how people look at them. But of course I don't say it in a hurting way but rather in a calm and gentle way. Then probably complimenting them by their good attitudes is also one way of letting them feel that they are really appreciated.

5 - My Favorite Hobbies
WHAT IS YOUR HOBBY? WHY DO YOU ENJOY IT?
Every each person has their own special hobby. Some of them has their weird and normal hobbies. Basically for them, it's more like a comfort zone. They sometimes feel great or overwhelmed every time they do the things that makes them happy.
I myself have several hobbies. It's very impossible for me to only have one because I love trying things and by that I get to have more hobbies. One favorite hobby of mine is when I play the piano. Whenever I play the piano it makes me calm and excited. I can really feel the music that I'm playing. It's one of my outlets where I can express myself. Another one is when I sing. I love to sing randomly. My family is always letting me sing every time we use a karaoke. They said that I have a nice voice and mentioned that I got it from both of my parents. I actually don't believe that I am good but what I can really say is that I love to sing all the time. Drawing or illustrating is one of my favorite things to do also. I love drawing people, also different views of nature, fashioned clothes or maybe just random things. Whenever I suddenly think of something unique or creative, I get a paper and a pencil right away and then I start sketching. Listening to music is also one of my favorite hobbies. I love classical, musical and modern music. My genre's are mellow, soft rock, pop and R n B. So whenever I hear those kind of songs being played, I sing it. Lastly, the overall favorite hobby of mine is eating delicious Japanese, Filipino, Chinese or Foreign dishes and Sweets. When it comes to sweets, sometimes I cannot resist especially if it's Chocolate. There are some sweets that I also like even though it's not made of Chocolate, as long as it's delicious in my taste buds. When it comes to food, I am not that choosy, though, I still have my favorite dishes.
It's really fun when you do your different kinds of hobbies. You get to give yourself enjoyment from time to time. Sometimes it can help you put away your stress or it can also help you solve some of your problems. That's why some people just love staying inside their comfort zones but their are also times that you have to step out of it.

4 - What's Nice About Myself?
WRITE SOMETHING NICE ABOUT YOURSELF
Many times have I encountered that many people are misspelling my nickname to Bernice. It supposed to be spelled with an S, not with a C. That's why many people pronounce my name to Ber-nice which sounds cute because it's like they are saying that I'm very nice. For me, this is already one thing nice about myself.
What's nice about myself? Well to be honest, I am not sure of the things that are nice about myself. I base it on the things that people say about me. One thing nice about myself is that I love helping people. I cannot resist myself in not helping them. It's like I always feel that I am selfish every time I don't help them in their needs. Another one is that I like buying special things for my close friends or love ones. I do that because I want them to feel that they are really special. Not only for me that they are special but also to other people. Next is that I also love making my close friends laugh. I always try to show amusement to them whenever they are teasing me. Another one also is that I love giving hugs to my family and friends. It's such a great feeling whenever you hug someone because you show that you miss them and you are giving comfort to them. Especially if I see my close friends upset or lonely, I always try my best to comfort them and tell them that I am here to pray and make them smile. Lastly is that I love meeting and speaking to new people. It gives me excitement for some reason and I don't know why. Maybe the friendliness in me just rises up suddenly. However, some of my friends say that I am too nice. They say that I have the attitude of always saying Yes. That's why sometimes I get confused whenever they say that I am too nice because you don't know if it's a compliment or a bad thing.
Having a nice thing or a nice attitude about yourself is very important because many people will remember you by the significant things that they will see in you. Especially if your the hilarious type of person, the more they will never forget about you. That's why it's always fun and perky to make someone happy.

3 - The Unforgettable Accident
THE ACCIDENT
Many people are prone to accidents nowadays. People die because of carelessness and less cautiousness. Some of them plan on doing the accidents intentionally and they don't regret it. that's why the accidents that we encounter nowadays are sometimes severe or just minor.
It was kind of a lazy and a breezy afternoon that day when my father planned on jogging around the village. When my twin brother and I knew about it, we asked our father if we could accompany him around the village while we are on our scooters. So then after asking him about it, we decided to go around the village. We were enjoying the wind blowing on our faces while we were riding on our scooters. Our dad was just there behind us enjoying his jogging. So while we were just moving on, we reached a steep part of the street. My brother and I thought of scooting from the steep part going down. So we excitedly did it together while our father was watching us from behind. While we were already near the ending part of the steeply road, my brother suddenly told me not to use my foot to slow down on my speed with the scooter, instead, step on the brakes from behind. but then I didn't listen to his advice. I used my left foot to slow myself down. Next thing I knew it I was already laying on the ground while experiencing pain on my wrist. My dad ran for me. He was so worried that he actually blamed himself. I thought I broke my right hand wrist. I was crying in pain. But then one neighbor approached us. He was a doctor actually. He checked on my hand and said, "Can you still move your hand?" Then I answered, "Yes I still can." Then he told my dad not to fret because it wasn't broken. So we really thanked God for the good news. We got home right after the accident that happened to me. My mom and my older brothers were really shocked. They felt really bad for me. So what I did was I exercised my right hand with a tennis ball. I tried grabbing onto the ball for like every 5 minutes. Even when I eat, i also use my right hand. What's weird was that I didn't get to visit the doctor to have my wrist check if ever there was a broken bone or something.
Accidents cannot really be predicted. Unknowingly, it will just happen anytime or anywhere. That's why many people should always be cautious or alert at at all times so that they can be prepared for themselves. They would be able to avoid it as much as possible.

2 - Household Chores Of Mine
MY JOBS AT HOME
I was still in elementary when my parents gave me my very first job at home. They said that I have to learn while I'm still young. I won't be living with them forever that's why I have to learn on my own. There would come a time that you would get married someday and you have to know the different kinds of household chores at home. Especially when you see that your future husband knows how to take care of the house more than you do.
My very first job was to sweep our floor at home. my mother and my older brothers taught me how to sweep the floor without really leaving any dirt behind. Since I was still a kid during that time, it was a challenge for me. Then while I was in my growing up stage, they taught me other household chores. They taught me how to mop the floor, how to wipe the displays and furniture, how to wash the dishes, how to cook food, how to do food preparations, how to feed our pets and how to water the plants. It was exhausting though amazingly it was a fun experience for me. I'm proud of it because it's part of my childhood. Now that I'm 17 yrs. old, I can do all of these chores well. I'm not gonna complain anymore for the reason that I cannot reach the sink or I cannot reach the broom to the hidden corners of the living room.
It's fun when your family members who are older than you teaches you about household chores. You get to learn more. It really gives you additional knowledge. Though there would come a time that you would feel lazy to do them but it's really part of growing up. You won't regret about it.

1 - Something New About Me
THE NEW ME
Ever since I was little, I learned and discovered many things about myself as a person. I discovered that was the type of person who doesn't really argue with other people. Like I rather get myself teased sometimes. I am also the shy type and the insecure type before. I used to envy at other people before. The shyness was one of the things that gave me the hindrance in the things that I wanted to do.
Now that I'm in college, many things had changed and had developed in me. I gained more confidence and my self - esteem increased. Even my public speaking improved in some ways. I'm also happy because I was able to meet a lot of new people in my school. They are all so nice and friendly and I'm glad because they accepted me for who I am. Although we still tease with each other but not in a hurting way or insulting way. Even now, I don't get impatient right away. That's why they always say that patience is a virtue.
I was able to achieve all this things because I became optimistic. I had to believe in myself that I can change for the better, even though there were times that I thought of negative situations. I had to thank God for all the things that he had done for me. He guided me all throughout the struggles that I had faced before. that's why I'm proud of the " New Me."
