I value small things

 Look at the pink figure at the picture (please don't mind the stains), it was actually a drawing of Jamie Solano, one of my best friends. She sketched and colored a happy character in a sticker paper, cut it and placed on my filler notebook.

I suddenly remembered and missed her when I looked at the art work. I never thought I already kept that for almost two years now, and I still use the filler notebook up to this college days.

 She's a very brilliant person. She made a happy face of a girly bear because she knows that there will be a time in my life when I will feel down and lonely, and the figure could help me find a little joy by just staring at it for a few seconds.

Thanks, Jamie. I hope you'll be able to read this and send me a message. I miss and love you!

T-SHIRT MAKING

Yesterday was T-shirt Making Day. The theme was LOVE & FRIENDSHIP. My group mates were Dela Vega and Solano, we made a great group, we had fun and enjoyed the moment. I'm not sure if we'll be able to win. Anyway, win or not, It's ok cuz we did our best.

Here are some photos of the t-shirt we made:

Jamie draw the design and I transferred it using carbon

Almost done

Stick drawing

This is Jamila Marie Diasanta Solano's drawing of us three. This is exactly our sitting arrangement facing the blackboard. I'm the girl in the middle. Since nobody is sitted next to the guy (Jan Red), Jamie decided to draw casper beside him. LOL.

Before I forgot, Jamie is the second girl. We all look awesome here :D

At my religion class

we meet our catechist every Monday. Her name is Mrs. Laurente. Yesterday was Monday so we had our classes with her. She asked if anyone knows what are the three theological virtues. Nobody raised their hands so I had the chance to answer her question. I got them all correct so she asked me to write it on the board. She even looked at my identification to remember my name. She murmured something that I didn't understand.

When I sat back at my seat, Dela Vega was beside me. And we had a conversation.

Dela Vega: Hey, Erica! Mrs. L said that you are beautiful!

Me: really? I didn't hear her say that.

DV: Oh, come on! She really said that while looking at your ID

me: nah .. not a chance

DV: I swear, she did! (raising his voice louder)

me: not believeng.

DV: yes, she did!

me: no, she didn't!

DV: yes!

me: No!

DV: yes!

Me: Ok fine I'm beautiful. Why do you have to use Mrs. L's name to tell me I'm pretty?

DV: (Speechless)

He didn't see that coming!

haha!

"Why, are you not our friend?"

"Bakit, hindi ka ba namin kaibigan?", Mervin said. I was touched. He really treats me as a friend, not only a classmate.

The story started like this.

Another guy classmate, Kent, pulled my ponied hair when he was at my back. I knew it was him. Since Mervin was beside him, I accused Mervs for that. He said defensively,"hey it was not me!".

"hmmm... Then it must be Kent! you are the only two people at my back. Who else could pull it? The ghost?", I replied.

"None of us did that to you!", Kent lied.
"Yeah. None", confused as Mervin said.

Mervin really didn't see that moment when Kent pulled my hair. He was looking at his phone.

Then I said,"Of course you will defend each other because you're both FRIENDS!"

"WHY, ARE YOU NOT OUR FRIEND?" Mervin said finally.

I was stoned and speechless. I never thought that they will include me in their group of friends. I was so low, but flattered that somehow they care for me because I am their friend.

Did you get my point?

If not, never mind. I just appreciate that little thing.

Thank you!

My buddy!

Today, Jan Redmond, my boy best friend, visited me at the constructing site. We chatted for several hours until 5pm. It's a good thing to have him around for a change. We've talked about anything and everything under the sun. I missed him. I realized that when I have much things to say to him. we didn't care if the place was so hot and so dusty.

I will be happier if my girl best friend was here too! I want to see her new braces. She had that a month ago.

It's really tiring when I got home. I always feel like this every afternoon when I arrive. At least I'm happy :]
