Strange things

We, human beings can sometimes have experience a strange thing that we do not expect to happen. Like the things that we do not know or we don’t believe in. There are times that you can really believe to a unbelievable story that I would like to write.

When I a 4^th year high school, at our place in Lanao, I can clearly remember the moment when my mom and I visited my aunt. While sitting on a chair ,I saw my one tita, sister of my aunt that is murmuring, laughing and playing her dress like a child .I don’t react at all because I thought she is just doing something like that but, suddenly she cry  and act like a child and she is shouting louder . My mom and aunt ran to see her then I go with them because I want to see her and I was also curious what is happening. I was afraid at first when I saw her crying and telling something that is weird. She’s saying that she felt that her head is going to explode because of the pain she feel. Her husband came after a minute past because we tell him about it. They tell me to buy a pain reliever so that my tita can drink it. After 3 minutes I came and she drank it, but she really did not stop on crying. So my mom decided to call my uncle that is a “albolaryo” so that if in case he can relieve the pain or can tell us what is happening with her. When my uncle came, my tita suddenly stop crying. My Uncle ask her. “why are you crying?” she answered “because this woman stepped  on me, she is not looking her way” (the spirit says through the body of my tita) then my uncle talk to her again. “well, please can you just go out of her body, because as you can see she did not mean it, she is just angry because she can’t discipline her son and daughter that is playing outside. “okay, but tell her that she must look what did she’s stepping, because I’m really hurt.” answered the spirit. Then after a second, my tita ask us what happened a while ago, why did she faint suddenly. And her husband told her that she is just much stressed that’s why she fainted.

On that moment, I realized that dead or invisible people can speak with us alive through using someone’s body that is alive.

# 3 I Stops to Say Thank You to my Mom and Dad

We, teenagers have different ways how to show how thankful we are to have our parents and how we valued and love them. But the most common is showing our love and care to them through kissing their cheeks and hug them. And that's the way I valued my beloved parents. Just like when we go to school, before we go out to our houses we will kiss our mother and hug our father then will say goodbye then. And some also they just say "goodbye Mom, goodbye Dad". Well that's okay also rather than you say nothing at all and they don't even know that you already left the house.

When I'll become a successful person after ten years from now on, I'll make sure that I can fulfilled my missions in life to my family that I can give all the things that they need and everything that can make my whole family happy. Even if in that year I could have my own family, I promise that will make sure that I can love and take care of them not just how much I care and love them now but more than now.

Every time that I can be with my mom since I am independent now, I always say thank you to my parents with this kind of words that "Mama, Baba. Thank you so much for the love and care that I've receive from both of you "and that way I can feel that my mom and dad can understand what I want to tell them that's why as long as I can be with them, I can't forget to tell them those words. And studying well is a one way also. And also I want to achieve many goals because I do believe that my achievements in life are their happiness.

# 2 Going to Level-up as a good reader

I can consider myself as a good reader because I can read and I can understand what I read. When a teacher tells us to read about a poem or a very long story, I unboastingly can a get a big picture of what I am told read about. This is possible because I first scan the whole of the story. For instance, I move my eyes down the page to know what types of words are more dominant in that particular story. Or, reading first about the background of author is a usual big hint for me to understand that story better. Because most writers develop their write-ups through significant experiences in their lives, researching about authors is a great help to obtain the point or the main purpose of the writer that I am reading about. 

Of course, because I am just a freshman student, it is no surprise that there are still many words that seem strange to me. I spare no time to look up the dictionary when I encounter words that are seemingly difficult to understand. Lastly, another reason why I consider myself as a good reader is that because I usually analyze for moral lessons of the story. If it is good, I try hard to be like it. If I think it is not acceptable, I warn myself to avoid it. This matters after all...
