A Friend who Touched my Heart

Dear Jasmine,

           

I really don’t know what to write here Jas, but I want you to know that ever since the day I first saw you, from that very moment a strong feeling grew up inside me, a “crush” I believe. I know that a lot of guys are admiring you and I am no one compared to them that is why I did not have a chance to tell you what I feel. For the first time in my life I felt that I had a purpose in this world and you have changed my life ever since I saw you.  

There is so much I want to say but no words can explain it, but I’m telling you, all my life I was looking for someone like you. I dreamed for someone who is kind, loving, cheerful, caring and who has a good heart just like you. I love the way you smile, your witty actions and hearing that cute voice of yours just sets my day to the best degree.

           

Every texts and calls we made just makes my “crush” on you stronger every day. You became my inspiration every time I do something which leads me to give my best. And that little conversation of us on the phone makes me the happiest person on the world. Every night you say good night and every morning you say good morning makes my day so perfect and without it, I will be as lonely as the sun when it rains, and as lonely as the moon when it is cloudy.

I treasure every moment we shared together, even we were not able to have as many happy moments we wanted. I am hoping that this friendship of ours will grow into something deeper and I hope that we could share more jiff together. And whatever might happen to us, just always remember that you will always be here in my heart and you will always be the best friend I will ever have.

                                                                                                                Love,

                                                                                                                  Gabriel

JASMINE…..

You are the cutest girl among all

Your beautiful smile struck me like cannon ball

And has a voice of an angel singing in a waterfall

If I’m your boyfriend, every day I’ll call

You are so important to me, it is not a lie

I’ll never make you cry

I always make your eyes dry

So why don’t we give it a try

I want to hold you

Hold you so tight

And I want to tell you

This feels so right

This feeling I tried to hide

Thinking you will go and say goodbye

But deep inside

I really love you and it’s not a lie.

 

My Teacher My Hero

          During my elementary days, when I transferred to a public school from a private one, the teacher that most inspired my life was Mrs. Eloisa Esguerra. She was my teacher on my third grade, kind, gentle and most of all she has a heart of gold.

          On my first day of school, I really felt lonely, since I’m new, I don’t have any friends yet. But then our adviser Ma’am Eloi approached me.  From that moment, when she was talking to me, I thought she was my mother. She gave me some good advices to cope up with new friends and the surroundings. She also inspired me to do my best in every thing that I do and when ever she talks or discuss, I always listen to her. For me, the way how she taught us was the best. Since we are in the public school, some of us don’t have money to buy some snacks, but then she will give some of her money from her own pocket to him/her without any hesitations. Even she was facing a tough problem; she will still smile while looking for the best solution.  The thing that most inspired me was when she chose me to be a contestant in Science Quiz Bee. I was not really expecting for it, but she said that she trusts me. When she said that, it was like my world became so perfect. From that day onwards, we became close since we were reviewing almost everyday, except Sundays. I really love the way how she taught me, the skills she used and her patience to me. She really did not lose hope in me even though I was having a hard time memorizing all the topics she teaches. If I can’t understand it through reading, she will let me see a video, have an experiment and learn it through actual ways. She was not like the other teachers I met, she was different, I can’t tell what it is, but there was something very unique about her that really inspired me.

          From all of the teachers I had, she was the one who most inspired me, not only mentally but also spiritually. She taught me a lot of things that became useful to me in the real world, where you cannot achieve anything without hardworking. Every teacher is a hero to her students, even though sometimes they can’t see it or feel it, it is just that we are sometimes having hard times to show how important and how we love our teachers but deep inside of our hearts, teachers you are our hero.
