Has there been a certain point in your life where in you feel so unsure of yourself? Have you ever felt like you were just a flower stuck on the wall all your life? Have you ever felt so desperate because you want to change yourself to become a better person but...you can't?

A Little Get Together.

I haven't touched my blog for around 10 days already. Just a quick run through of what happened during this week. Last Tuesday (June 9), our classes started already despite of the A(H1N1) scare. I think we are the only school in Katipunan that are having classes. ADMU and UP, our neighbor schools in Katipunan, postponed their classes due to A(H1N1).

So yea, I'm officially a college student already. So far, things are going fine. What I like about college is that we have longer breaks and we don't have classes on Mondays. My favorite schedule would be Wednesdays and Fridays because my class starts at 10:30 am. Haha. Plus, the subjects are light.

Anyway, we didn't have classes yesterday since it was Independence Day. So yea, it's a holiday for all of us. My friend/former seatmate in high school, Giana, celebrated her 18th birthday then. It served as a reunion for me and my high school friends. God! I missed them so much! I know it's only been around 2 months and a half or so but that's quite long enough for us. Well, consider the fact that we will all be going to different colleges/universities. We won't be seeing much of one another then.

Moving on, the birthday party was a blast! I partied like I never partied before! HAHA. And no, I don't mean it in a negative way, if you know what I mean.

Well, I won't be going on further details. I'll be posting some pictures instead. Pictures paint a thousand words, right?

Oh and by the way, before I post them, I just want you all to know that I don't own the pictures. It's from my friend, Trisha. I didn't have my camera with me yet.

So, anyway, here it goes. :D

The Birthday Girl...on the screen. Haha.

I Won't Mind. Just Let Me Know.

So, okay. I first learned about this site called Wattpad from an online buddy who also writes at Creative Corner at Teentalk. Creative Corner is a board where teentalkers post their stories that are originally written by themselves. Earlier this afternoon, I read from my friend's story thread that her story was published at Wattpad without her permission; although her username was retained there for acknowledgement. She said that she's not mad at that person but it would have been better if he/she asked her permission first.



When I searched Wattpad, I saw other Creative Corner stories posted there. I don't know if they were posted with the consent of the author too. I got pretty surprised that one of my stories was also posted there. (Click on the pictures above for a clearer view). I'm not angry at that person for doing that. I won't really mind. However, asking for my consent first wouldn't really hurt, right? I mean, if she was a teentalker, she could have given me a notice through a private message.

I know I'm not a professional writer but I still have the rights for my own work, right? Well, I'm really thankful that at least she didn't remove my username. :)

I may not have the best story written but really, asking for a person's permission is very important. It's like asking one's permission when you borrow his/her stuff.

Anyway, to summarize it, I won't mind if my online written works are posted elsewhere as long as:

1. I am credited for it

and

2. It has my consent. =)

And The Heat of Summer Sunshine is Gone.

It's the rainy season once again.

Goodbye, summer!

See you again after 9 months.

*sighs* 8 days to go before school starts.

Hooray College! =P
