Best People in the World

This photo was taken in one of those cheesy photo booths set up during parties and such. Here I'm with my mom and dad.

They are the best people in the world, and I'm so lucky to have them. Even if they give these ridiculously long and redundant sermons to me everyday, I know I'm loved. That's why I laugh at their corniest jokes, and smile at their simplest triumphs. They mean so much to me.

Though they're not world-famous or anything, but everyone who knows them, loves them. And - let's be honest here - they gave the world a cute little daughter! What better gift is there?

All jokes aside, I love them. They really do make my day. I know I don't say it too often, but I love them so much.

But I'm a teenager. We don't do "I love you"'s. ;) We just show it. Hopefully I show it enough.

The Fault in Our Stars as a Movie in 2015! :D

Yieeee. First of all, I just found out that one of my favorite books, the Fault in Our Stars by John Green, (see cover below) is going to be a movie!

Hear that? THAT IS ME FANGIRLING.

See, while reading this book, I cried for 2 hours straight. No kidding. It was just THAT beautiful. And then I hear it's becoming a movie? My insides just exploded.

And of course, don't count out the fact that the leading guy is just as gorgeous as described in  the book. :)His name is Ansel Elgort, and he is so so so so so gorgeous and hot and good-looking and.

Sorry, got carried away there. Aaaand, his leading lady is Shailene Woodley. 

Upon seeing this picture, my good friend Jilla said "RIP self esteem". Nicely phrased, my dear. Nicely phrased.

The movie, however, is going to be released 2015, which is two very long years from now (made even longer by the fact that I am such a big fan).

BUT! I AM GOING TO WAIT AS LONG AS IT TAKES.

Because I don't really have much of a choice. </3

Anyways. If you're also a huge TFIOS fan, feel free to fangirl. (Or fanboy/fanman/fanguy; honestly, I don't know what to call it)

Hope you enjoyed reading my fangirling feels. :)

Miss Emelinda Pareja

I'm going to post a whole new story here. But before I tell you guys the story, I'm going to tell you about one of my former teachers - Ms. Emelinda Pareja.

Okay, so you guys are probably going to think - "What? You like teachers? How dorky is that?!". JUST LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT - I AM NOT A DORK/NERD/GEEK/TEACHER'S PET. I AM NOT I AM NOT I AM NOT.

It's just - well... Imagine a cool grandmother. She can be strict at times, but she's really funny. She has been through a lot at life, and when she tells you about it, she's not bragging - she's giving you inspiration. She's not one of those teachers who hold  grudges against their students. And she's the kind of teacher who you'll always remember. Even after high school. (I know that for a fact, because she's been the teacher of my mom, my aunts, my uncles, my cousins, etc.)

She's the kind of teacher you'll be proud to have.

And if you haven't met a teacher like that, then my friend, you've never had a good teacher. Trust me.

-----------------------------------------------------------------


Okay. Now you know about her. Earlier in our English class, we were asked to write about her. And honestly? It was my pleasure to write about her. My output was kinda like this:

"Ma'am Pareja is the best teacher I've ever had. I've never met a teacher as wise as her, and I know I will never forget her. It makes me proud to say that I was taught by someone like her. Though she is strict, she is fair and just. She strives to teach us as much as she can. When she tells us about her life, we can't help but listen and feel inspired. She looks out for us, and is in every way like the second grandmother we never had. I will never forget her, and I hope she won't forget about me.

 To Ma'am Pareja,thank you so much. You will forever remain in the hearts of us Sayanistas. My mom, my aunts, uncles, and cousins still remember you despite the years that have gone by. I know I will do the same. One day, in the future, I will tell my child about the best teacher I've ever had - how she has taught me so much, and how she inspires all those who meet her."

 Okay. So, whatcha say? :)

Please comment on it. I need your help. See, we have to send it (via facebook) and I don't know how to do that! I don't know if I'm too shy or what. Help me do it. Give suggestions as you comment for any changes or what. I'd appreciate that so so so much.

Thanks for reading. 

The Structure of Sentences: Real Life Stories

Today in our English class we studied about the structure of sentences: you know - simple, compound, complex,and compound-complex?

Yeah, well, our teacher had this really cool way of letting us remember which is which. It sort of went like this: 

Needless to say,it left most of my classmates gasping for air as we laughed (a bit too much, if I may say) at the second picture.

It helped me a lot, though, in remembering which sentence is which.

Later on, Mrs. Tenny told us to give an example for each sentence structure. "The sentences," she said "must form a story."

So our class output was like this:

"Princess is a single girl. She met a Jack Frostie girl, Maysa, and they fangirled together. When Princess fell in love with Niall, she had no more time for Maysa. But Maysa met a guy named Delfra and they became more than friends, and the four of them lived happily every after"

So, from that, you can now conclude that despite being sophomores, we are a class of Jack Frost fanatics and directioners who find amusement in things five-year-olds laugh at.

By the way - Delfra isn't a real name! It's just a codename, if you may,for a guy Maysa has been crushing on (and apparently wouldn't get over in a long time).

But anyways, I found this method really helpful. It makes memorizing the sentence structures a lot easier.

'Till next time then! I've got like a gazillion more homeworks to do. Thank youuuu so much for reading this.

Okay, so. This is my first blog ever. You might say I'm primitive or what, but honestly, I find the idea of sharing my bleak, mundane life to the world quite uncomfortable.

This blog is for a project at school - it's for my English subject. When I first heard about it, I became nervous. I mean, it was kind of like broadcasting your everyday experiences to the 7 billion people (assuming everyone had blogs) in Earth.

But then I thought it would be good for me; so I'd get over myself and feel comfortable with telling you guys about myself.

Well, okay - this blog isn't really for myself, it's just for blogging about what we do in our English subject - but hey! Any improvement is good, right?


I'm Joy Anne del Rosario. I'm a sophomore at Cavite National Science High School. Things I like? Music. Reading. Writing. Watching TV. Food. You know - the usual stuff. I play the piano and the guitar. I sing. I'm a feature writer at our school paper and I eat ice cream whenever I get depressed. If you want to know more about me, you'd probably figure me out while reading the rest.


See this picture? I'm the one at the middle. The other two are Geline (left) (stuffsandinformationfromgdl.blogspot.com)
and Kristine (right)(youngandinvisible.blogspot.com)

Anyways, this is my blog. Hope you like it. And if you don't, I hope you lie and say that you like it anyways. It'd mean a lot to me.
