Written on: 6.27.2009 Time: 11:06:00 AM Usually, when it's the first day of school, your teacher would ask you to submit an index card with relevant information such as name, nickname, contact numbers and all that blah. When the teacher is a little chill about handling students, he or she would ask you to include your hobbies and interests in that index card, just to get to know you better. My Literature teacher though was different, good kind of different. Instead of asking us to tabulate our personality on index cards, he asked us to submit essays instead. He wanted to know how much we can project ourselves and how much knowledge we have "on top of our shoulders" [Bernal, Salvador - my Lit 13 professor]. I made an essay the night before the day of submission. Given that it was a school night, I feel a little lethargic that night. I wrote trash, seriously. It was like I was writing for the sake of submitting something. Knowing my true self, essays aren't just supposed to be any essay to me. They should be special, with deep meaning and bursting with loads of emotions be it light and cheerful or melancholic and depressing. The next morning, I don't know what got into me but it was like an SOP that I turned my laptop on and started typing and typing words. It was like thoughts are pouring as if an interminable flux it was. Then there I was sitting on a small stool looking at one of those special essays. Though I knew exactly which to submit, I consulted one of the best guys in the world, my friend, B. He's a straightforward critic and I knew that he would be honest in every way possible. I asked him which essay to submit, the one I made the night before or the one I made a few minutes ago. Just as what I expected, he answered me with great honesty. He really helped me make up my mind completely on submitting my second essay. I find the second essay very special. It may not have those highfalutin words but at least, it's one of the essays that are really personal. It's not tampered with facts just pure, innocent thoughts and dreams. As a compensation to almost two weeks of not updating my blog, I'm sharing a snippet from that personal essay that I love so much. Given that I am a fifteen-year-old, my interests are somewhat somewhere in the middle. It’s hard being the in-between state. There are things you think you should outgrow and things that you know you should. I like Hannah Montana’s sparkly, blond hair and fancy, colourful clothes just like any tween does but of course, I also enjoy watching the morbidity of scenes in Heroes, an international TV show targeted to the adult market. It's a big chunk of what I've written, actually. Read it! Make an essay about yourself, too! You'll be surprised about the things you'll be writing. It's a way of appreciating yourself. It's as if you were digging deep into you and seeing a gold bar, a treasured part of yourself, something you, too didn't know existed. ♥Sara

the blogger Name: Mary Sara Gremille Gender: Female Sign: Virgo Location: Cainta, Rizal Hello! I love writing so I put up this blog. I don't write on a regular basis. Whenever I’m feeling it and there's internet connection, I blog. There are a lot of things I blog about. The things I watch, the vacations I go on to and my digital creations. I'm a big Miley Cyrus fan so you might see entries about her and her songs here. I love watching Heroes. I am interested in pop culture. I am a junior BS Life Sciences major at the Ateneo de Manila University. Someday, I can see myself as a successful cardiologist. I love travelling and USA, Greece and the Philippines are the three countries that I would like to take a tour in. Photography is just one of the things I do for fun and I'm not really serious about it. My love for being behind the camera is just as much as I love being in front of it. I have a lot of dreams and I will do everything just to reach them. I have many fears, too. One weird thing about me is that I am afraid of baby dolls. There are also a lot of things I adore. I love shoes, chocolate, pink, books, show business and a lot more. I can say that I'm an above average student. I like Science, Computer and most especially English. I don't hate Math but I just don't like it as much as I like the other three subjects I have stated. I was born and raised in Pangasinan. Although it is a province, I am proud of being there. There are a lot of advantages, you know. I don't have a big clique with my high school friends. Actually, it has always been just me and my best friend. We just happen to be really friendly. Haha! We go with girls who have their own cliques but we sure get along. I prefer chilling out in one of my friends' houses than going to the mall. I love watching movies be it animated, drama, comedy or romance. I'm not picky when it comes to food. I eat a lot of things. This explains my current body built. Alright, now you are oriented with who I am. Just keep on reading my posts for you to know me even more. ;) the tweets |
