2. Time Turner

   "I mark the hours, every one, Nor have I yet outrun the Sun. My use and value, unto you, Are gauged by what you have to do." - Inscription on Hermione Granger's Time-Turner

   The Time turner works like a Time Machine. It takes you back in time... WHAT IF YOU HAD A TIME MACHINE? WHAT WOULD YOU DO? ARE YOU BRAVE ENOUGH TO CHANGE THE PAST KNOWING THE FACT THAT IT WOULD CHANGE THE PRESENT? ARE YOU WILLING TO SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES? A lot of things are bothering me when it comes to time travel because of the scientific facts that they (experts and movies) explain. This is my opinion and reflection on the topic "TIME TRAVELLING".

   Catching up to the 50% OFF promo in a certain store? You have thrown something important and can't take it back? You missed the shuttle? You woke up late? Or you've missed that single point to that perfect score? These are just example of the reasons why someone would like to travel back to time. Let's admit it, NOBODY's perfect. We make mistakes, but some people aren't strong enough to commit those simple mistakes. MAKING MISTAKES IS COMPLETELY NORMAL, DOING THE SAME MISTAKE OVER AND OVER AGAIN ISN'T. People learn from their mistakes. You should learn from them. Dont hide from them, FACE THEM FULL HEARTEDLY. Dont give up. "Hangga't may Buhay, may Pag-asa" (While you're still living, DONT GIVE UP). The DEATH OF SOMEONE IMPORTANT TO YOU IS VERY HARD TO OVERCOME, but dont worry because GOD is still there to guide you, God has big plans for us. He is just testing us to see how strong our faith is to him. Just trust God and nothing bad would happen to us. So, be contented (It's very hard, but do your best) with your life and keep holding on.

   But if ever given the chance to travel back in time, I would go back to the time where I made the biggest mistake I made in my life, I REFUSED TO GO TO MY GRANDMOTHER THAT DIED RIGHT AFTER THEY VISITED HER JUST BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO. I felt very guilty when we went to her wake. Because I refused to go there, and I know that she becomes happy when we (me and my cousins) are there but I didn't give her that simple chance to be with us, her grandchildren...

   What did I learn? Is to make the most out of everything with your family. Be with them if you have time... Because "TIME IS GOLD" and you cant turn back time. :(

   What if YOU WERE GIVEN THE CHANCE TO TRAVEL BACK IN TIME? WHAT WOULD YOU DO? Let me know by commenting your "Back in Time TO-DO LIST" :)

1. Highschool (<,=,>) College

"Which is better? HIGHSCHOOL or COLEGE? Or is it just EQUALLY GREAT?" 
   A lot of changes would happen in our life. Nothing lasts forever. Because everything that comes past our life would eventually fade away (well, I'm not being negative, I'm just telling the truth). I'm the type of person that hates EXPECTATIONS. Why? because its really hard to accept the fact that YOU WORKED VERY HARD just to reach your expectations and END UP FAILING. Thats the reason why I dont believe in forever.

   Well, going back to the original topic, "Which is better? Highschool or College?" Let's list the things that I HATED in Highschool


THINGS I HATE IN HIGHSCHOOL

1. HAIRCUT REQUIREMENTS...
   - WHY DO THEY EVEN CARE ABOUT OUR HAIR!? They would give you demerits because you dont have the RIGHT HAIRCUT (2x3)!? WHY?!?

2. BIAS SC (STUDENT COUNCIL) OFFICERS

   - SC Officers that are very strict on regular students but give A LOT OF EXCEPTIONS on their personal friends. The SC officers are in charge of listing the LATE and those who are disobeying the rules. They are scattered on the different staircases to check the haircut and the uniform of the students, and some are guarding the gates to get the names of those who are late. After morning praise, we would go up to our rooms and the SC officers would check our haircut and uniforms... THEY DONT LIST THE NAMES OF THEIR FRIENDS THAT ARE ALWAYS DISOBEYING THE RULES. But for those who are'nt their friends, they would list them without thinking twice. They are VERY BIAS. And it irritates me.

3. LACK OF TABLES IN THE CANTEENS   - Me and my friends bring our own lunch to school and we just eat in the canteen. But sometimes, when we go down late, the whole canteen is packed and there are NO VACANT SEATS! So, we are forced to sit on the stage and eat there...


   There are still stuff that I hated in highschool but I cant list all of them... I should learn how to become mysterious so I should not reveal everything (*wink wink*).


   I still can't point out the stuff that I hate in college because I guess I still havent had enough time to experience college. But BEFORE I GRADUATE, I WILL UPDATE THIS BLOG POST AND CONCLUDE, "Which is better, Highschool or College?"
