TRUE NARRATIVE ESSAY

"Please stop" the word that I wanted to say every time I saw my mom and dad quarreled.

Ever since I was a child I always saw my parents having arguments and always fighting to each other. Every time I heard that they are fighting again I went outside our house and pretending to be busy so that I can ignore them. They don't listen to us when we told them to stop fighting. I always pray to God that I hope someday they tired of fighting to each other. And live my parents a happy life, No fighting, No hates, No regrets. Instead, I can live a happy family.

It was early in the morning when I heard my mom and dad shouting at each other. "Ayan nanaman sila maririnig ko na nanaman ang ingay nilang dalawa at pag aaway" They are fighting again and I heard a loud sound from our kitchen. I decided to check and I was shocked by what I saw. My father was pointing a gun in his mouth. I know anytime at that moment he could lose his precious life, that the last thought in my mind seeing my father in that situation.

Before I was like a rock I want to shout but no words come out in the mouth. I want to walk but my body is cold it was like the ice in the freezer. I want to cry but no tears come out in my eyes. It was a nightmare. Until I feel my mom's hands shaking in my body and my tears are falling.

I look at my mom's eyes asking "what happened?"

I still not recovered for what I have seen. Then I saw her eyes full of tears and she can't answer my question. I look at the four corners of our kitchen, my eyes are searching for my father. Until I saw him at the side of the table sitting down and crying. I felt relieved and thankful because I saw him that he was okay and didn't continue to cut his life in a bad way. And the gun is in the other corner.

I came to him and asked, "Why? 'Why did you do that?"

"Pa bakit mo ginawa Yun hindi mo ba kami mahal?"

He didn't answer my question instead he hugged me and cried in my shoulder, his eyes are full of regrets and feel to say sorry to us for what he did do.

"Anak sorry Kung Dahil Samin ng papa mo na sasaktan kayo at nararamdaman niyo ang ganitong hirap." Mom said while hugging me. tears overflowed my eyes.

"Sorry, anak kung nakikita mo kaming nag aaway ng mama." my dad replied.

This is my unforgettable moment in my life. I learn a lesson that even though we're still young we can ask our parents for their problems because we are families although we can't help them we still know for what will happen. Everything that is happened to our life is a trial of how we can survive the problems that were given to us.

Don't stop dreaming

As Powell says" a dream doesn't become reality magic; it takes, sweat, determination, and hard work. " having a hard life is not a hindrance to pursuing my dreams. It is a matter of self-determination and being true to the things that happen when making life difficult to succeed. Because of my parent's poor situation in life. I remained, steadfast and maintained a positive outlook. Because I know adversity does not persist for a lifetime.

I stand myself as a dreamer, after my 4th of years of high school, since I did not go to college to continue my study. I come here to Manila to look for a job at age of 18, to help my siblings for their studies, and that time when I stop studying because of my father sickness it's hard for me to work so far and being alone, I always cry when I remember my parents and my situation, but after all, I learned to be brave in all trials of my life, I worked hard and never lost my hope that someday I will continue my study. I don't stop dreaming because I know I can go through all the trials in life and the hard life that I have.

Every time I look at my situations in my life, and every time I see my parents suffering from having a problem with the financial situation, I always keep my self to did not stop dreaming and fighting the circumstances, because of this kind of situation was become my inspiration to be strong That this is not a lifetime struggle. Even though sometimes I feel like I'm giving up, but on the other side of my situation reminds me to continue my life.

However, I far away with my family I will always keep fighting this hard life that I have. And it will not be a reason to stop my dream that I will be. After I stop for three years in studying and having a hard time to work. This is not an excuse to stop dreaming, the poor situation in life is not a hindrance to give up all that I have encountered, it is a learning experience and a purpose of being strong to continue my life, to pursue my dreams and goals. because dreams are having a good future in the end.

A Trip to Malajog

“Think Less, Live More!”

At some point, I have found that travel has helped me become an optimist. The more experience I have, the more positive have. Malajog beach is where everyone goes especially during weekends. Its shore isn’t swathed with white sand but it definitely has sparkling blue sea perfect for your beach bumming adventure.

It was a cold and breezy Sunday morning, that I had prepared another “once in a blue moon experience” for me with one of my favorite group on earth my -Friends. That was a very exciting day not just for me, but for someone celebrating his natal day. Luckily, it happened that I am invited for an excursion that I will never ever forget, it was the day that I discovered one of my favorite places in our province, the Malajog Beach and Resort.

The sun rises from the east, that served as our light and our guide aside from the head lamps of the car from which we are riding on. Certainly, you will notice the silence of the passengers inside the vehicle, the yawn of the sleepy driver, trying his best to stay awake making sure we will arrive safely towards the dreamscape destination. And all other weird and odd things and settings during our trip. As a person who have grown in a province, it was normal for me to see a bunch of tall trees along the high ways, and small boats which seems like dancing through the glittering waves of the sea.

Something had whisper in my ear and I could not ignore it and it was like waking up from a very nice dream, realizing that one of my friends were saying something. I smiled silently in my mind knowing that I was mesmerized with picturesque scenery. I even counted the bridges we had passed through until, our driver suddenly maneuvered the vehicle to a narrow street, I could not help but to look up to an arch with a colorful welcome sign. Along the way you will see some rock formations and it has been said that it was a big coral before that was formed into a rock formation as the years pass by.

Big mangroves and several kinds of tall trees where prominent like it was purposely planted to every space of the rocks. As you look around the place you will surely see the falling leaves from those trees. Staying in that place for a while maid me wish becoming a mermaid and that explains why I love any kinds of bodies of water. We ran to a cottage made of bamboo and a nipa shifts, there were several cottages and some of those are also made in concrete, with cool and awesome designs, what a sight to see!

From the left side of the beach, there’s a high cliff fall of tree and on the top there’s a zip line made by the local government as one of the attractions of the place, going down through a remote and small island. The island is known to be called the turtle island. It is because it looks like a turtle if you look at it on a top view of the island. Sadly, I was not able to experience riding it because there’s a fee. I don’t have any idea that there such a recreation space on that place. Anyway, let’s take a swift trip to the right side of the beach. There’s a full of surprises, you could see a grotto from afar. It looks so small from where we’re standing as we are walking along the sea shore. Then the sun was up and the heat starts to burn out our skins, but, we do not really mind the heat even the little ones are joyfully running below the scorching sun, going back and forth, running and playing with their friends and families who was with them over the sea water.

The time passes through our chitchats, games and foods even the night time. In nighttime, they made a bonfire and we continue the funny moments. The next early morning, though it was a sad goodbye, I somehow promised to the place that someday or somehow, I will once again, come and see its magnificent beauty. Surely, I will be back on this place.

"Travelogue quote "

I chose this quote because I have a very good relationship with it. It really leaves you speechless when you see beautiful natural scenes and landmarks you've learned about in your history classes. Sometimes, as you fly, the sights you see are so different, special or simply stunning that you may not have any words to say. I'm still fascinated by historic sites, cultural icons and geography then I couldn't help my self to tell about my experience to my sisters, friends, and other people.

A Trip to Malajog

“Keep your face always toward the sunshine and shadows will fall behind you”

-walt Whitman

I have found that travel has helped me become an optimist. The more experience I have, the more positive my life becomes. Malajog beach is where everyone goes especially during weekends. Its shore isn’t swathed with white sand but it definitely has sparkling blue sea perfect for your beach bumming adventure.

It was a cold and breezy Sunday morning, preparing my self for another once in a blue moon experience” for me” with one of my favorite group on earth my ‘‘Friends”. That was a very exciting day not just for me, but most especially to someone who’s going to celebrate for the day he was born. Lucky I ‘am who happens to be invited for an excursion that I will never ever forget, it was the day that I discovered one of my favorite places in our province, the Malajog.

As the sun rises from the east, it serves as our light and our guide aside from the head lamps light that comes from the multicab from which we are riding on. Certainly, you will notice the silence of the passengers inside the vehicle, the yawn of the sleepy driver, trying his best to stay awake making sure we will arrive safely to the venue. And all other weird and odd things and settings during our trip. As a person who grown in a province it was supposed to be normal for me to see a bunch of tall trees along the high ways, and small boats which seems like dancing through the glittering waves of the sea.

Something whispering in my ear and I couldn’t ignore it and I was like waking up from a very nice dream, realizing that one of my friends were saying something.

Along the way you will see some rock formations and it’s been said that it was a big coral before and formed into a rock formation as the years pass by.

Big mangroves and several kinds of tall trees where prominent like it was purposely planted to every space of the rocks. Anywhere you look into the place you will surely see the falling leaves from those trees. The wind on that side of the malajog were totally different maybe because we are at the beach, the venue of the celebration and that’s made me more excited. If I ‘m not a human I would prefer to be a mermaid and that explains why I love any kinds of bodies of water. We run to a cottage made of bamboo and a nipa leaves, there were several cottages and some of those are also made in a concrete, with a cool and cute designs maybe in a few meters away from the sea water.

From the left side of the beach there’s a high cliff fall of tree and on the top there’s a zipline made by the local government as one of the attractions of the place, going down to a remote and small island. The island is known to be called the turtle island. It is because it looks like a turtle if you look at it on a top view of the island. Sadly, I was not able to experience to ride it because there’s a fee. I don’t have any idea that there such an activity on that place. Any ways, lets take a swift trip to the right side of the beach. There’s a full of surprises on this place I utter to my self as we saw a grotto, we certainly had a pilgrimage if it wasn’t because of our outfit. It looks so small from where we’re standing as we are walking along the sea shore. The sun was already up and the heat starts to burn out our skins, we don’t really mind the heat even you asked that to the children who were enjoying, going back and forth, running and playing with their friends and families who’s with them over the sea water.

The time passes through our chitchats, games and foods even the night time. We are that confident to stay that late because we have some colleagues who are working on a rescue team. During the night in malajog beach they made a bonfire and we continue the funny and full of jokes moments until at that very early morning we decided to leave the place and I whisper to myself that someday I will be back on this place.

"collect moments, not things"

According to Mr. Donie laus he choose this quotation because when he go to travel he gets feeling well, and enjoy the moments that he experience with his family and friends. For him things is nothing than the memories that he had when he go to travel. And experience the things that he didn't do when he is alone. Every moment that he experience in his life when he enjoyed to travel is collecting the memories that he never forget.

Maribel Dultra

I, Maribel Casimero Dultra, I was born on February 06, 1997 in Gandara Samar, where I live until the time I went to junior high school, I'm the second child among the eight offspring of my parents. My father's name is Marconie Dultra was a former counselor of our barangay after his tenure he pass his position to my mom and focused on farming. my mom Vilma Dultra, on the other hand was an efficient housewife and nowadays was a Counselor. She also helps my father in farming.

During my first grade and third grade my teacher used to climbed on our barangay just go teach us some lessons. He sometimes climbed for a week or two in every three months. studying in our barangay was not easy because we were far from the city and must have to climb a mountain before reaching our place. Fourth grade has come My mom sent me to Gandara and enrolled me to District II Elementary school, while studying, I was having a hard time coping with my studies and coping with the people around me, I felt so unease because at the very young age I was far from my parents, far from home, I used to live with my relatives specifically with mygrand parents but i still manage to graduate from elementary to high school thanks to the help of my grandparents.

Growing up around six brothers and one sister was not easy, considering the fact that I am a girl, with all the masculinity in the house. There was a lot of competition and rivalry, and it was just normal siblings rivalry and it turned to be of benefit to me. Living in a big family was not easy especially if parents did not have enough jobs to provide for all the needs.

I need to be a good example and model to my younger siblings. during my elementary and highschool days I always got an award and also obe of the honor students in our class. I remember i joined a cheerdance competition I was so nervous because it was my first time to dance in front of the crowd. Despite the hardship, training effort it was all worthwhile becuase we won as the champion on that competition.

after graduating from high school, my parents told me that they could not afford to send me to college, I was disappointed and sad yet that thought didnt stop me from reaching my dreams. I went to Manila and work for three years I became the family breeder, I provided the needs of my family, the education of my younger siblings and sometime the medication of my parents. I strived so hard and will strive harder to finish my study. Nowadays I am proud to say that I am a working student and this work sad and painful circumstances will not be able to stop me in continuing my studies.

Maribel: Star of the sea

" As you struggle through the stormy sea of life, Do not turn away from".

I am like the "star of the sea" who gives my family hope and guidance in whatever the problem they have I am still here for them to see the light of life with hope. I am the person that no matter what happened and problems that I have I don't give up, and I am the person who can make friends or anyone happy, even I am not able to make myself happy. Just like the stars if you see them you feel better because they looks beautiful and you lose your sadness every time you see the stars, but behind that looks there is also the sadness

I am the person who brings hope, righteousness and truth to all situations as well as a certain level of my life I may not even have with my family, no matter how difficult my path was I still believed in myself and to God.

I am a strong, passionate and extremely, magnetic woman born to lead, in whatever I do I'll make sure my actions are pure and do the best of my life, even to my parents I always make them proud of me even now we are not together they are Always in my heart.

#Beautiful #starofthesea

I wanna be the best version of Me

I would choose to become Princess Diana of Themyscira famously known as Wonder Woman a member and founder of the super hero group Justice League . I am definitely aware that her character is beyond reason, too impossible to achieve or to possess as a mere human being. The reason why Wonder Woman? it's because, she's all I wanted to become, she know's how and when to use her abilities. I'm not precise or even sure If I do have any as a person, though I still know how and what my worth is especially to my family and friends of course.

She was describe as the wisest and emotionally-intellegent member of the group, reminds us her native home and origin the Amazona's. She could face all the of villains regardless how strong they are much as she and her group keep the peace and unity in this world. The beauty that she have is also exceptional one of the treats that I really admire from her the perfectness of her physical attributes is giving me a goose bumps just to think of her if I will be giving a chance to meet her in person but it would be a my greatest pleasure if I will be given chance as well, realizing one of my wildest dream I ever have. I also love her forgiving and kind heart for everyone especially those who is in need.

I'm not that strong and determine like Diana Prince was however I'm inspired with her. I'm no super human, but I still belive that I can be someone who will do the best version of me like Wonder Woman does, even though she was just a character from ones imagination.

as she utter its not about "deserve". Its about what you believe.

A poet needs to keep his wilderness alive inside him.

-Stanley Kunitz

For an author, a writer or a poet needs to have the inspiration, passion to have his inspiration transform and create a master piece from the edge of a pen was I believe the main point of this phrase. For someone to keep his wild imagination and broaden his thoughts just to make something new through it.

To become an effective writter we need to connect ourselve to everyone and it should start from the deepest part of someones heart and mind so the reader would easily get the meaning of the poem, story or the tale that the author creates.

"Kru kru kru," I can hear that sound

Bring back the memories I have

Looking for some clues I should've found

In this forest, myself, I know it's hard.

Birth of Spring were the weather's can feel

As you sit below a bending trees

The wondrous things your eyes can steal

As cold wind blows, my inlaid heart is now at freeze.

My mind is as chaotic as the forest

Full of mysterious perceptions

Sometimes peaceful, often at its darkest

Somehow, it's just some of my delusions.

Value of taking a creative writing class

Creative writing

Can be hugely helpful,

For me, I can improve my self with opportunities which is creating my own work. I can write any story that comes out into my mind with the skills and lessons I've learned in the class. I can express my inner thoughts and emotions as well as my self expression when creating my own story.
