My Simple World

My father, though he behaves badly like a naughty kid, he never failed to take care of us. Even if we felt so bothered and unhappy of what he was doing daily, he always got something every time he arrives home such as bread or some of his harvested goods. He doesn’t like to stay in our new house because of many reasons but everything will just boil down to the fact the he was so attached on the things that he left in our previous place wherein we stayed for so many years. There, he does a lot of things like doing household chores, planting and maintaining farm, and raising chickens. We were just felling so worried upon his health because we all know that he’s old enough to do those things. But if we will try to stop him from doing those activities, it will be a very long noisy discussion.

Our new neighbor visited their unit this morning. I saw them when they got here and they were in a taxi. I believe it was the mother who went out of the taxi to checkout what’s going on inside the house. Off course, I was all messy because they never did a cleaning on it just like we did in ours. Every time we make a site visit, we usually brought cleaning materials because my mother don’t want a very dirty surroundings. I saw another young girl inside the taxi which I believed the daughter. She was just sitting inside and when I take a look at her, she was like looking snobbish. Oh well, I don’t really spend time to keep my eyes on her but I guess she’s terribly a snobby person.

Last Wednesday, maybe I haven’t shared this out; I stayed in our old house due to the birthday celebration of my grandma held last Tuesday. When I went back pedaling with my mountain bike, on my way home, it was raining. So what I did is that, I stayed inside the Convenient Store of my cousin until the rainfall stopped. Then I started travelling back down from the place to the city. When I reached the main street, I noticed that the rain started to fall again. I was terribly worried because I have some paper stuffs in my bag which is relevant to my documents. And that time my only hope was to go under the flyover because there is a place under it wherein I can shelter myself away from the rain. The rain was about to drop the main course at the same time I was pedaling so hard to drive my bike even faster. I successfully arrive at the spot and in just a matter of seconds the rain was totally heavy that many motorcycle drivers didn’t endure the road and chose to wait for the rain to calm down. Well, it was fine at all though it’s quite surprising but at least the surroundings were washed and being cooled down.

Nowadays, I noticed myself getting short-tempered. Even my parents couldn’t understand me of how I got this type of personality. I can’t point someone on my circle of friends that might have induced something on my head since in reality; I don’t have even one person that I treat as my friend. Sometimes when I saw the reaction of my parents, it was like they were so scared and worried of what am I saying. Well I admit that I was careless of the words that I spoke every time I lose control of my temper. But it is assured that in a few minutes, I will calm down and to the point that everything was fine and I am back to normal. Usually, I think of the problems that I encounter during this days. There are lots of these which make me boil and melt my patience until my anger shoots to its peak. Now that’s the time that I can’t stop myself from speaking very harsh words. But those words would just pertain on me; usually it’s a curse on me. I know it’s totally bad but I prefer to burst out those things rather than keeping inside which could result to more destructive manner.

I went back to our old house and this time I was there to attend the birthday celebration of my grandma. Though I was known for hurting her, they treated me very well. The found was fine and everyone was there. Someone told me that it might be a drama because it’s impossible for them to treat me like that since I made a very serious damage on my grandma’s feelings. But I just disregard everything and continue on being true to them. Anyway, if that is the case I am not the sinner after all. The good thing there is that I was able to deliver my heartfelt sorrow for hurting my grandma and ask apology for being so. She accepted it and I felt happiness into my deepest heart.

Due to the mandates of our school’s administration, we were requested to attend a seminar catering the basics about job seeking. Off course it comes with a very hard consequence if ever a graduating student fails to make it up. According to the ICO who was the one shouldering the responsibilities for the said seminar, anyone who will not attend the seminar will be subjected for a withdrawal of the certificates. We felt scared upon the fact that we want to graduate and receive our certificates and diploma soon. I think everyone was there during the event because I know that our section is one of the good working groups in our batch.

One of the useful information that I have quote from the long chat together with my wise friends yesterday was to give respect to everyone, regardless of any other consequences. When I first thought of it, I was kinda feeling that it was stupid and both of them perhaps could be stupid guys too. But as they go on sharing several situations which was based on their experience, I’ve come to realize that it does great. It is a must for everyone to avoid chaos among everyone’s mind. Also they told me that anger is not a nature of man. Imagine that! It is very vague enough to internalize those things which they actually do in their daily living. I was so much confused of it but it burns more interest. I hope I could spend more time talking with them.

I was asked by my cousin to find some affordable apartments here in our place. He’s from the province and wants to work here in the city. Actually he has the position in a very nice company since he just finished studying college. Anyway, I have already got a very nice deal for him. I just hope that he will like the place. But it’s a very nice flat, affordable yet the quality is as good as those expensive ones. Cousin will be soon next week and after he arrives here I would like to introduce him to the owner of the apartment so that they can talk about several matters.

Due to the financial hike that we are currently enduring, I don’t feel the essence of the upcoming graduation. We still need to pay the graduation fee which costs one thousand six hundred pesos. Then I still need to purchase a formal dress because we won’t be using the traditional graduation toga. I don’t know of why it is so but maybe it’s because of the fact that we were just technical graduates. Also, parents are supposed to wear their best formal dress. Again I felt so terrible because I know that mother and father only has the very simple one. I still need to buy their dress for the graduation because off course I want them to be at their best appearance. I just hope that more blessings will come in my way this few days.

We went to our old house to take some relax and feel the freshness of the forest winds. We never thought of a celebration there because it did not happened last year. I was surprised when my uncle told me to come up on the mountain top to join the celebration of the feast. I was kinda confused of how they came up of that celebration because in the past few years, we were just sharing the same thing with the other barangay. Actually, we were not different from that barangay because our place is still a part of that one. So we are supposed to share same celebrations with them. Now what happened is, some people from our small place decided to separate and make it different from the usual. So that’s why we are now experiencing the first change which seems inappropriate. First thing that I notice that makes is bad is that when I was on the place wherein the main celebration will be held and there seems to be no special occasion out there. Second thing is that there were two different confusing schedules of the feast which in terms is not normal. I don’t really think that this is possible and can be implemented forever.
