Seasons of Love ~ RENT -     Sooner my five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes will be over.  I am about to face another year, another challenge to face and another mountain to climb.  The days had gone by so fast, this year has been, hmm dunno I don’t want to label it as heartbreaking but it is. Although tragic and sadness filled my heart this year, I am thankful that I am still alive and kicking; blessed with everything.  I have a lot of good memories this year and a lot of first times too; the places I've visited, the contest I joined and crazy adventures.  For the last three days, I successfully detached myself to the web world.

Last Friday, I couldn't imagine that this tragedy would happen here in our place. Friday, December 17, 2011, a storm named Sendong washed out all the people's houses here in the city where I lived for almost 5 years. It was disheartening; I saw dead bodies of people and children on the street. I couldn't believe that in that moment while I was sleeping, other people were at the top of their houses, screaming for help, it was so dark, there was no electricity, everybody was busy saving their own lives. It was just 5 hours of heavy rain and there are hundreds of people found dead even hundreds are missing till now. The City is now in the state of calamity.

Title: To Kill a Mockingbird Author: Harper Lee Finally, I’m done reading this book! I decided to read the book when I saw the video from Sparknotes.com. I have downloaded videos from them and I started to listen to each of them. I like the way they review the whole story and the lessons you will learn from it. This is basically a family and growing up story. *Spoiler Alert* The story revolves around with the main characters, Scout, Jem and Atticus Finch in a sleepy town of Maycomb Alabama. Atticus Finch is a lawyer and a widowed father living with his two children, Scout and Jem with their loyal black cook Miss Calpurnia. One summer, Scout and Jem befriended a boy named Dill. One day, Dill was fascinated by the mysterious house on their street which was called the Radley place. The house was owned by Mr. Nathan Radley, living together with his brother Arthur known as Boo. Dill dared Scout and Jem to let Boo come out of his house. Boo has been in the hous...

source A girl who sits alone in a room full of people. No one ever saw her, even care to approach her. I know she smiles but deep inside she's hiding something. A crowd wouldn't even notice her presence. She even pretend that she's busy, though deep inside she wanted to cry.   I experienced being miss invisible when I was a kid. Tell me, who wants to be alone? I wanted to have friends but they didn't even notice a kid like me. I started to asked myself, what's wrong with me?! But I couldn't figure out what was the problem, I was just a kid though. I tried so hard to fit in but nobody wants to be with me.
