Dear Future me

  Dear Future me, I am writing this letter for you on the days when you feel confused, tired, or unsure about the path you chose. If criminology wasn’t for me, I hope you will not be disappointed in yourself. I hope you will be gentle. I hope you will understand that sometimes, dreams change—not because we are weak, but because we are finally honest with what our heart truly wants. If that course wasn't for you please guide yourself to become a successful teacher. Teach yourself to be brave again. Teach yourself to start over.

At first, we were just classmates trying to learn the basics, but through daily practice, early mornings, and tired legs, we slowly became a real team. Hard work taught us discipline, but friendship taught us how to support one another.

We became more than teammates—we became friends who trusted each other inside and outside the court. We shared stories, stress from school, and dreams for the future, and somehow volleyball became our safe place. No matter ...

A Peaceful Escape at the Batyawan Farm

      I spent a quiet and refreshing day at Batyawan Farm, a peaceful spot located in Magalang, Pampanga, just about 12–15 minutes away from the town proper As soon as I arrived, I felt how calm the place was—the wide open space, the fresh air, and the simple surroundings instantly made me forget how busy and noisy everyday life can be. It is a perfect place for families, friends, and classmates who want to relax, play games, and enjoy bonding moments without spending too much.      What made the experience more special was the clear and beautiful view of Mount Arayat from the farm. Sitting on a camping chair while looking at the mountain felt peaceful and comforting, especially while sharing stories and food with the people around me. The place is very friendly to visitors since you can bring your own food and enjoy the wide area for simple games, picnics, and team-building activities .      When night came, the atmosphere became even more ...
