Nagrerekol eh.

My lappy is nearly full and I needed to delete some files that seem to belong in the Recycle Bin. But as I was scanning through all the folders, My Documents folder was nearly a sector in my laptop that is filled with school memories such as school works and projects. My powerpoint presentations and handouts are still in there raging form sophomore year. They weren't really that complete though. But I'm gonna show you some of my class projects and all.
Perfect Definition As a person existing for 15 years already, I certainly believe I have gained particular experiences in life that most define me as a person. Although not all of them involve a positive occurrence and remain a special mark, each of them signifies how I was living, how I was enduring, how I was prevailing and eventually how I was suffering. I understand how challenges come naturally amidst of every triumph. There would be things you need to sacrifice and moments you have to break down to make yourself stand out and stay strong. Take for example stepping inside the walls of high school. Reaching high school was a big task and a big dream as well. Coming from a child who herself abided in the province for years; it wasn’t easy to fit myself at first. There are lots of chances which I couldn’t dare to take because I wasn’t the “city girl”. I didn’t know how to interact with people on their way. Worse, I was able to feel alone when in fact I was the loudest girl in grade school. A lot of things have changed from the way people talk, live, communicate and move. Somehow, I didn’t get along. But when I finally felt too tired from hiding behind the shadows of the past, I decided to let go. I suddenly became a real high school student. I started to become more mature and develop my own perspective. I gained lots of friends and they have appreciated how I have transformed. Of course, my old friends never disappear inside my head. They served as my inspiration to move forward. However, you cannot deny some newfound impediments coming the other way. Specific circumstances were coming to test how I have altered, how I have attained friendships and how I went through in this adventure. I remember the past summer when I was 13, when I nearly deprived myself of everything because my mother won’t allow me to transfer school. I didn’t think of what I was doing. I don’t remember how I reacted to every single rejection my family gave me. I sensed that I wasn’t significant anymore. Luckily, that came to an end when I finally adapted to the environment I am living. Actually, it went well after that. High school to me also became a source of pressure to me. There were lots of demands from the society; demands which are quite inevitable and impossible. Insecurities occurred amidst sophomore year. The pressures to be totally pretty, to be thin, to be evenly smart, to be nearly perfect rushed in circle around me. I get jealous too easily- too apart from what I was before. I was insane to think that none of my friends actually accepted my appearance and the way I am. Every day, I tried myself to be exposed and to work hard just to be looked at differently. I was alive once again. My friends make me laugh and smile over and over again. I remembered how unique I am and how they made me special in their hearts. This phase in my life indeed was a big leap that I had taken. It was at this stage that I have found the authentic definition of my own life. This stage led me to reality. I have discovered various magic and supernatural things life could offer. I could never let this moment fly away. High school will definitely linger inside my heart forever.
-This one's from Junior year and proudly made by moi for the SLE class. Whew. The next one would be the sonnet that I wrote during our Junior also for English class. Teheeeeeeeeee. Ganda noh? Lol.
Broad Horizon
There then lived a kid by the empty grounds of wilderness A creature once yielded by the generous, potent God Struggled for existence amidst the air of pettiness Brittle arms as armour for the waiting trials in the sod
Now a dream came through that stirs her mind The sky is the limit, the sea as foundation A clear vision that might shift the history of womankind A mission that dwells in the heart of desperation
Although the star was way up high and yet impossible She finds her courage, she keeps on fighting What once a wish now a reality so tangible The sound of harmonic success felt relieving
Such a story of the kid who once lived with blues Now as she closes the door behind, opens another gate to explore

It's all about who we are..for real

Hey!I'm Roseanne Erika A. Loquellano. My friends call me Erika, but when I reached college, some of my new-found friends call me Rosiee or Chichi. And it's weird hearing that.
I've been living in this crazy for 17 years now. My journey has always been and will always be a bumpy one. I've been through the loudest laughter and the saddest tears but still here I am today, standing still, proud and happy to who I really am.
I have an amazing family. My dad, Ronnie, has been working overseas since I was three. God knows how much I miss him every single day that he's not around. He still calls my mom 'Love' and it's so thoughtful of him for doing that. My mom, Evelyn, is a public elementary teacher. She was my Filipino teacher when I was in the 6th grade too. She's a bit loud I tell you, but deep inside, she's really sweet, funny and of course loving. I have two ridiculous older brothers. Rodney, the eldest, dreams of becoming a pilot but still hasn't find enough financial support for his training, which leads him to apply for a job in a ship company. Michael, my older brother, is on his last year in college already. So we'll be expecting a fully-payed nurse maybe 2 years from now after his board exams and additional experiences. I, being the youngest of the siblings, am on my first year in Biology, because I hoped to become a doctor some day.
Being a doctor isn't just my only dream by the way. I had hoped of becoming an actress ever since I was a child. The limelight has always been the source of my inspiration every time I declaim, which eventually make me look like I am natural. Well, my mother was an actress anyway. In her college years, she was an athlete, musician, declaimer and a dancer, no wonder how I got my ever awesome chromosomes. Ahihihi. I wanna explore the center stage, and I wanna know what it feels like to win an Oscar and have a sold-out concert. But yeah, I have to stick to college first. My mom says, no matter what age you'll reach dream, it's still fulfilling `cause you know you have accomplished something really important to you.
I always remind myself to stay inspired. Because it is only through inspiration that we are motivated to move and be different. This still ain't my moment to shine (bright like diamonds and make tons of money, hihi), but somehow someday when my moment comes, I will be a champion. :) Stay inspired!
