How to be a Good Conversationalist What is fun about going to a party is not only the dancing but also the talking and conversing. Do you know a wallflower is? We have a name for this in the vernacular. You won't be a wallflower if you learn not to be a conversational wallflower. A **conversational wallflower** says nothing and no one has anything to say to her. ***How does one become a good conversationalist?*** By having something to say and knowing how to say it. You might say, "I simply have nothing to say to people I don't know very well. I'm shy. When I see people looking at me, I get embarassed." To be a good conversationalist, follow these simple rules: ****Read much.****Many people cannot converse for lack of ideas. They know they are not well informed and this gives them a feeling of insecurity and self-conciousness. Where do people get ideas? From books, magazines, and newspapers. Be informed of the issues of the day. Formulate your own opinions. ****Learn to listen.**** Listen to what others say. This is another way to become well informed. Be a good listener. It seems paradoxical but to be a good conversational you must be a good listener. Most people want to talk; it is simply a matter of getting them started. Once they start talking, you can relax and listen sympathetically, with understanding and warm receptiveness to what they say. If you can do this, you will be known as a good conversationalist. ****Learn to utilize conversational gambits.**** When you meet persons whom you don't know and with whom you have very little in common, utilize conversational gambits. These are: the weather, sports, movies, books, movie personalities, your school activities, school subjects, etc. ****Watch your speech.**** Speak in a normal voice; don't whisper. Speak clearly and distinctly; don't mumble. Develop a pleasant, agreeable voice. Have you noticed the difference the voice of your older sister when she snaps at you and when she talks to her friend? Those are the salient points that one must follow in order to engage properly in a certain conversation. Thus, make sure to remember the rules; practice daily and you'll be a good conversationalist later. “The secret of getting ahead is getting started.” – Mark Twain

Education amidst chaos: Embracing the new normal Back then, everything was fine, until covid-19 pandemic came and cause chaotic disturbance at all aspects of our lives—of course including our education. We cannot deny the fact that everything became difficult, to the extent that even going outside is fearsome. The things we used to do before will no longer be possible today. Say for instance, dining in a restaurant on the same table, commuting in a public vehicle with overloading passengers, taking pictures cannot be done while clinging to each other and so on, all of this is due to the implementation of social distancing which is indeed necessary in order to prevent transmission of virus. All of those became part of our new normal, hence, education is also very much affected. This topic I laid down is based on my own point of view, insights, perspective or whatever you call it. Thus, allow me to spare some of my time to express my opinions, but be aware that I do not intend to hurt or misled people of my thoughts regarding the issue. In colleges and universities, their class has already started. We knew how hefty it was for them since not all were born with silver spoon or are well privileged and smart. Despite the plea, appeal, or complaints that institutions have received from students and other involved persons, still they are inexorable. They are determined on pushing through the opening of class. For that reason, not just students are suffering, it is evident in news reports or social media platforms that even teaching personnel and parents were affected too. The fact that our internet connection is poor they still push through an online class. Consequently, many students were having emotional stress because of the thought on how they will face everyday struggle such as mobile top-up or load, weak internet connection, unconducive learning environment, responsibilities at home and the like. Imagine, being haunted by the same thought and circumstances every single day yet none of them can understand the dilemma you are having right now. I know you'll say, "if there's a will, there's a way." But are you sure of that? Not all have the same way of thinking, this is why we have diverse personalities brought by varied family background and environment. You know what I mean. As what I have observed, higher number of students were just participating in class to pass. To pass requirements. Sadly, the very essence of education was set aside just to comply with the things they were asked to do. Is this what they call quality education? Meanwhile, primary and secondary education have started as well. The parents were anxious and troubled on how they will explain every little detail to their children. Yes, CHILDREN. Not just one but many. See? I myself, experienced this kind of thing. Not all students are fast learners. I've seen many situations that the pupils weren't the one reading and answering the modules. The one who will absorb the learning are the parents or elder siblings not the suppose individual. Nevertheless, the authorities have passed down this predicament to us, so I guess we can no longer stop this anymore. Therefore, we must do our best to surpass these challenging times. I hope that the students and certain individuals can still withstand this dilemma. `But no matter what, let us now embrace the new normal of education amidst the chaos that are happening right now. Hoping for peace in everyone's mind as we battle with this horrible pandemic. Hope this will end soon. Fighting!`

A wet afternoon Rebecca leaned against the window, her chin on her hands, mournfully watching the rain. It had rained all morning, a slow monotonous drip, drip, drip. The sky was dull leaden gray. Not a bit of blue showed through it. The senior class was to hold a program that afternoon but Rebecca knew that if the rain did not stop, her mother would not allow her to go the program. The rain continued to fall slowly, inexorably. Rebecca stared at it desperately. **"Oh, why doesn't it fall down in a torrent and then stop?"** Rebecca thought. She looked at the trees drenched with rain; she looked at the rooftops with rain dripping over the eaves, at the streets with little rivulets running toward gutters. She thought there was nothing worse than a wet afternoon. It was only three o'clock. If the rain would stop! There was still time for her to get dressed and attend the program. All her friends would be there. Her friends had cars. Rain didn't bother them. They got into their cars, whisked through the streets, and got out again under awnings of buildings. They did not have to worry about getting wet, catching cold, or getting sick. How she wished that her family could afford a car! **"Mother"**, she called, **"I could wear my coat and take the umbrella. It's not raining so hard anymore. Really, it isn't."** **"Yes,"** her mother said, **"But how will you get there and how will you come back? You know how hard it is to get transportation when it is raining."** Yes, what mother said was true. On sunny days she could walk to school and back although the school was quite a distance from her house. Walking was better than waiting for a jeepney or bus which was too crowded for comfort. How she wished the rain would stop! Elizabeth, her best friend, had a part on the program. Rebecca wanted to be with her. She closed her eyes, wishing the rain to stop. But when she opened her eyes again, it seemed that the drops were actually falling faster. To spite her, she thought. She looked desperately at the cars, jeepneys, and buses hurrying by. Their windows were meticulously closed; she could hardly catch a glimpse of the passengers inside. How she wished she owned a car, a jeepney, or even a bus! She smiled at the thought. Suddenly a car stopped by her door. She heard repeated honkings. She stuck her head far out of the window to see who it was. Why, it was Elizabeth! She was waving her hand, motioning to Rebecca to come down. Rebecca leaned out of the window at a precarious slant, shouting and laughing at Elizabeth. "Mother," she cried. "Elizabeth has come to fetch me. I can go the program. Can't I?

Going to College: Guidelines in Making Career Decisions **College work** is more difficult than studies in the high school. The method of instruction is different; the manner of conducting classes is different; the personal supervision that you had in high school will be exchanged for more liberty and independence, more self-study on your part. College offers many courses. Would you like to be a doctor, nurse, lawyer, teacher, engineer, architect? Each of these professions/occupations will demand certain qualities in you. A **medical doctor** must have zeal in curing the sick; a **lawyer** must burn with the desire to right wrongs; a **nurse** must have the patience and understanding to take care of the sick; a **teacher** must have the courage and intelligence to lead others to the pursuit of truth. Before choosing a career or profession, you must do a lot of thinking. Thus, here are some listed guidelines to help you or your relatives who're entering college in order to pick the right choice. Guidelines in Making Career Decisions More than ever, the student of today must be future-oriented. Because of rapidly advancing technology, it is estimated that a normal teenage senior high school now would/may have as many as six careers during his or her lifetime. Yes, careers, not just jobs. This means that the person who learns to make decisions appropriately early in life will have advantages over one who moves along by trial and error. Wrong decisions cause problems instead of solving them. Therefore, getting ready to make a decision is part of decision making. **So where do you start?** Begin with yourself. What do you want to be five or ten years from now. Make a list of your capabilities and shortcomings under the headings "Assets" and "Liabilities". You may wish to check this self-analysis with your teacher, with your friends, or your school guidance counselor. Remembering that effective career planning involves more than just matching individual aptitudes to future job requirements, study the following Occupational Groupings prepared by an American psychology professor, B. von Haller Gilmer. Group I: Service These are people who work for the "common good" or who "render service", such as educational and vocational counselors, social workers, NBI angents, hairdressers, ushers and watchmen. Persons in this group tend to be high in social values. High verbal skill is found at the upper levels of these jobs. Group II: Business Contact Salesmen and saleswomen, buyers, agents interviewers, and peddlers. These people score rather high on tests of influence. Group III: Organization Industrial executives, personnel managers, postmaster, foremen, and file clerks have a high interest in personal relationships. Group IV: Technology Engineers, factory managers, contractors, mechanics, and truck drivers. In the upper levels of these jobs one finds persons with intellectual interests are high. This group is "object-oriented". Group V: Outdoors Landowners, farmers, and laborers tend to come from family backgrounds of the same sort. Intellectual and artistic interests range widely among those in this group. Mechanical interests are often high also. Group VI: Science Mathematicians, scientists, physicians, nurses, medical technicians, and embalmers have strong intellectual interests. Group VII: General Culture Teachers, clergymen and clergywomen (or priests and nuns), news commentators, librarians, and reporters belong to this group. They are verbally oriented and usuallt interested in people. Group VIII: Arts & Entertainment Artists, professional athletes, showmen, race drivers, and stagehands are part of this group. Special artistic or physical abilities play an important rule here. These people do not shy away from being on the public eye. The person who **"likes people"** will generally choose profession or occupations in which friendly, frequent contact with others is a part of the job. Working **"with things"** does not necessarily mean dislike for people. Those who like to work with things tend toward production-oriented enterprises. The person who wants **to manage** will find himself in the organizational setting which prizes practical decision making. The **artistic types** tend to group together and seek occupations which do not demand clock punching. `“All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.” – Walt Disney`

Minding other people's business Personally, I believe, minding other people's business once in a while is not a bad thing. I find nothing objectionable in being interested in other people. I mean, who does not like to know the secrets and mysteries in the lives of others? Glancing into an open window, especially if it is wide open, is for me, irresistible. I can recall many pictures I have enjoyed but there are also times when I wished I didn't saw it. A young boy talking to his favorite dog. Tenderly caressing the fur, back and forth. Seeming to have a deep connection between the two. The boy held the front feet of the dog and danced on the beat. The dog looks joyful and enjoying the moment with his owner. Another time, I saw from my window a sweet couple walking down the street. I recognized the face—my neighbor with his new boyfriend. The guy looks cool and loving. They are holding each other's hand while walking just like any other couple would do. It's normal to people who are in a relationship. When I slept over in my friend's house, I heard a woman shouting angrily. Soon, the voice became louder and louder. I can't resist going outside, so is my friend. The woman found out that her husband is cheating on her; she's driving him away. Before long, the neighborhood came out too. There are also children watching as if there is a live show that's happening. I pitied the little kids who're watching, they'll think it's the right thing to do. What will happen if they became adults too? Guess. We'll never know. On my way home, I saw two grim-faced young men walking side by side apparently arguing about something. Suddenly, one of them gave his companion a blow with his left fist which landed squarely on the latter's jaw. He followed this with quick successive punches on the stomach. Caught unaware, the victim crumpled to the ground in a heap. The assailant trampled on his victim's already battered face with the heels of his heavy shoes, then ran and disappeared into an alley. No one pursued him. People began to gather on the sidewalk where the incident took place; staring curiously at the unconscious man. But no one dared to go near the victim to find out if the man is still alive, much less to give him first aid. Seeing the helpless figure made me tremble in fear. The blood is oozing. Going to my grandmother's house, I passed by the Fontabella Villa, I heard it is one of the biggest houses in that vicinity. The gate was open and the garden was beautiful. Out of curiosity, I thought I would just peep in. I drew near a steel window where I could enjoy a full view of the living room. On a piano was the picture of a beautiful lady who, I supposed, was the mistress of this big house. The furniture was antique; statuettes, pedestals scattered around, and the heavy curtains gave the room a regal effect. It's like what I see in my mother's favorite noontime show. The house was in disorder, I wondered if there were people inside. I was attracted by an empty bottle of milk lying on the floor. Near it was a little girl busily tearing the pages of a magazine. She was chewing something which I suspected was a piece of paper. On a big sofa was an older girl dressed in white. She was asleep, almost falling off the sofa. Was she the nurse supposed to look after the girl? So much elegance and wealth and so much neglect too. These are scenes I have witnessed; some are very touching, others are quite puzzling. If you feel the urge to peep into someone's window, be sure you don't know the people inside or they don't know you. And be sure that you do not linger too long; otherwise, you might get caught. I know you came here because it contradicts your perspective. But let me enlighten you a bit: ***that what I have laid in here is different in what you'll always see on social media. That people came barging into someone's life without consent.*** Sometimess in our life we'll encounter different insights thus, make sure to read through it.

Am I to be Blamed? Hey! Hey! You! Stop! Stop running, thief! Stop her! Help! I could hear the scream of the angry lady chasing me. Behind her is a set of officers and soon they overtook the lady and ran towards me as fast as they can. I feel exhausted. I'm gasping and panting from that tiring chase. I then decides to find a hideout to have some rest or else I'll passed out. Fortunately, I found a nook. I immediately sneak in. "Haaaay! At last I can rest." I closed my eyes holding tightly the bag of money I got earlier. I have enough money now to buy food for my starving tummy and for my brothers as well. I can buy medicine for my sick mother too. I was smiling like crazy. But the happiness I felt, vanished in an instant. "Aha! There you are impudent thief!" I was startled by the loud voice. As I opened my eyes, there I saw the lady frowning with her hands akimbo. "What are you waiting for officers! Arrest him now!" I tried to escape but my arms were quickly grabbed by the police. "Stop! Let me go! Let me go home before you imprisoned me" I plead but they pretended as if they hear nothing...it's too late. I was brought to headquarters and was then interrogated. "No sir! You are mistaken! I was once a good girl just like any of your daughters! Just like the rest of you here! "You don't know anything! You have no idea how I went through!" Soon my face were filled with tears. My tears were not colorless. It is chocolate brown. Due to living in a horrible place. Where dust is what we inhale and what we breathe. "Very well officers! I'll tell you my story" Just like I said. ***I was once a good girl***...but time was, when I was reared in slums. But I tell you, we lived honestly in life. My mother, my father, my brothers, sisters and I. Then, there came the biggest storm which made our lives completely devastated. **Poverty enters the portals of our home.** My father become jobless, my mother got sick. The money that my mother had kept for our expenses were spent all. All for our daily needs and her needed medicine. One night, the night I'll never forget for the rest of my life happened. My father went out, told us that he would come back with plenty of foods and money. I got excited. All of us can't wait for my father's return. I would imagine a savory, crunchy fried chicken. Just imagining it, my mouth became watery. We waited. But to no avail, even his shadow didn't came. That was the last time I saw him. "You know what happened next, Captain?" ***He went with another woman!*** My father whom I idolized and loved, dared to leave us with nothing on our dinner table! With my mother struggling and bedridden. **If only I could lay my hands on his neck, I would wring it without pain! Until he breaths.. no more!** *"If you were on my place, you'll do it won't you?* "What's with the face? You still don't believe in me? Come...follow me on my home and I'll show you how my life sucks. A dilapidated shanty by a railroad. I have convinced the officers to come with me. To my home. I couldn't even consider it a house or home as it has the absence of love, tranquility, happiness and safety. As soon as we get there I look for my mother. But what I saw was my siblings weeping beside our mother. "Mother? Mother? I'm home, mother? Mother?!" As I held my mother's cold hand. I lose my strength. I'm down on my knees. "There Captain! See my dead mother! I exclaimed. "Captain, there are tears in your eyes?" Now pack these stolen money and return it to the owner. What good would this do to my mother now? She's already gone. Do you hear me? She's already gone! Thus, let me ask you.. AM I TO BE BLAMED FOR THE THINGS I HAVE DONE? Reference: Am I To Be Blamed—Declamation Piece

The-one-that-got-away I was sitting by the window with my legs crossed. I held my favorite pillow closed to me, when a gentle wind blew. I could hear the rustling of the leaves and a sudden gust of cool breeze on my face; I saw how the flowers swayed. Seeming to invite me to swing and sway with them. All was calm and tranquil around me. Then I heard the soft, and calming music on the radio which paired the mood in my room. It was enough to stir my imagination. My eyes caught the sight of a "dying day". Nothing can surpass the touching beauty of sunset! I said to myself. The sun is ready to retire from an exasperating day. Suddenly a dreadful thought struck me. "Sorry, I have a problem to fix. Don't worry I'll contact you when I settled out things." "What do you mean? What happened? Can you explain it clearly? What's going on" I replied. "Nothing. It's okay. It's a small thing...you don't have to stress yourself." He said. "Small thing?" I grumble. "But why do you need to cut connection?" "Don't be persistent! You're like a kid!" "I won't be acting this way if you haven't texted me that vague thing! Out of nowhere, you'll cut our connection? What am I to you?" I said with persistence. "I'm sorry. I have to do this because I made my best friend got into an accident. He's in the hospital right now. It's all my fault. I should be the one lying in that death bed" "What? How come? How did it happened?" "Babe, please. All I need is your patience and understanding. I promise I'll explain to you everything once I'm settled out okay?" Without second thought I agreed. I felt sorry for him. Indeed, all I can do now is understand him and wait for him to be okay. And for a good news to come. He is a person who values his friends too much. To the extent that he'll rather choose his friends over me. That is why I didn't hesitate. The more I ask, the more he'll get mad and annoyed. **I LOVED HIM.** *That was the craziest and the most stupid thing that ever happened to me.* Everything came as usual. I didn't received any text message from him but it's okay. I know he's in turmoil right now. I shouldn't add more to his perturbations. The day came swift. It's our graduation already. Still we haven't communicated. The saddest of the saddest day in my life. It's our graduation now. It's starting to drizzle. I saw dark clouds. We changed location at the last minute just to make our rites happen. We packed up. My curled hair became staight in an instant. The dampness I felt is like a mixed of rain and sweat. Everyone is whining including me. I blamed the weather for not agreeing with our ceremony. Although it was raining hard, it was a happy day for me... I thought. "Mama's gone" a text message my Mother received from his brother. My grandmother is gone. After the ceremony we immediately bid good bye to my classmates and friends. I haven't been able to take pictures. Sad.. Days have passed. My grandmother's wake is held in our house. I felt like miserable. I need comfort. I need him. K-r-rringg... k-r-ringg. Yes I called him. He picked up the phone. "Uhmm..Hello" I murmured "Yes?" he mumbled. "Who's that?" said by a voice on his line. I froze. I felt the hair on my skin rose. I had goose bumps. I ended the call. My tongue twisted and my throat seems clogged. I couldn't speak. I feel weak. My eyes began to stream down tears but I wiped it immediately. I composed myself.."Who's that?" I texted him. "It's her. "Camilla". She came back." As I read his message my tears flowed like a stream. I could not believe that this is happening. He betrayed me! Everything was a lie since the beginning. He even dared to make up a story! He courted me to become his rebound. And here I am. A dimwit. I trusted him because he's a childhoodfriend of my bestfriend. Yet, he fooled me. "Let's end this" I said. "Okay" he replied I was crying a river in a dark corner. I thought it was the last message I'll receive from his number, but I was wrong. "Hahaha, you ugly bitch! You don't deserve my cousin! You low class loser!" I felt a knife struck on my chest. I couldn't breathe. Eventually, I feel numb. I was dumbfounded. I lose my strength. I couldn't even hold my phone. I hugged my self and wept in tears. You know what's the worst thing to happen when you are crying? That's when you can't let other people see your situation. That you need to hold your sobbing. That you can't even screamed out to release your emotions. **I LOVED HIM.** *That was the craziest and the most stupid thing that ever happened to me.* Since that day I became melancholic. I feel that I'm surrounded with darkness. But then I realized that he's gone now. He has his own family. And that I should move forward. From that moment, I found myself smiling. Gone are days that I was consumed with sorrow. I'm back to the present now. From my window, I saw that the sun has already set and now it's getting darker. I got up and motioned myself to the mirror. There I saw my reflection. A woman genuinely smiling... Silence for the longest made me realize that forgiving is what I should give to ease the excess baggage in my heart... and shutting down that leftover feelings is the best way to..it wasn't easy but it's what made my heart free.

How to cope up with stress When covid-19 struck the world, we began to realize that everything is equal. You may be rich or poor, powerful or not, we are the same on the eyes of covid-19. Just take a look on everyday news. Around the world, even the powerful countries. Everyone and everything are completely affected resulting to **negative economic impact** making each country vulnerable, increase in unemployment, widespread of poverty etc. Furthermore, this pandemic totally affected every aspect not just the economy itself. For instance, **education**, **transportation**, **businesses** including show business, **factories**, **infrastractures** and **establishments, important celebrations** and **social gathering** and many more but more importantly our ****mental health****. That is why, we should always check ourselves, our family and friends because we'll never know we might be having stress leading to depression. If this isn't taken seriously we might suffer on the long run. Thus, we should do some steps to avoid these negative things. The following are lists which could help to minimize stress and make ourselves think better during this dire times: Stay active and go out for daily walks while maintaining safe distance or do some exercise at home Get plenty of sleep, do not overdo your mind. Allow your brain to rest inorder to function better Listen to soft and calming music Disconnect from social media Eat well. Eat healthy foods to maintain your physique and get nourishments for both body and brain Avoid alcoholic beverages, smoking and drugs Get plenty of sunlight, it helps to improve both our body and mood Do something you enjoy. Do things you love (without breaking health protocols) Connect with others, do not isolate yourself Journal your thoughts. Recommended by psychologists because it helps us express our feelings especially if we are afraid of telling it to others Those abovementioned things aren't the only thing which could help relieve stress. You might also encounter different ways to accommodate your negative thoughts. If you happen to know one you can share it in the comment section. Thank you for reading my article, I hope the things I listed will be useful to you in your day-to-day life to maintain your mental well-being. P.S. Don’t allow yourself to flippantly ignore caring for yourself; sometimes it’s going to be hard and take a little extra push but ultimately it’s worth it. You are the ultimate creator of your reality.  Create one that helps you grow into your best self.

I just finished watching BLACKPINK music videos on youtube. I realized as I was watching, that it eases my anxiety. Maybe it's because of my bias—Lisa. I really like her personality. She's been through ups and down; has been betrayed, criticized, discriminated, etc., but look at her she has this unwavering character. She stood still even if the world is against her. And that makes me adore her more. I love how she respond to every struggle she faces. Thus, I'll be like her. I will not let this anxiety and stress ate me whole. I'll be brave and stronger as I face obstacles in life. And I want YOU to do the same thing—I'm not saying you idolize Lisa also, but be like her character❤ we can do this! Smile and make our dreams happen😊🌈

Different perspective Human nature is like an abstract painting—difficult to understand especially when the artist himself add more depth to his canvas. This is why we tend to have different insights or perspective towards something,on someone or onto situation. Furthermore, this matter include deep understanding so as not to create discord or disagreement towards our fellow. We must not judge hastily for the reason that we live in different environment and that we are born and raised in varied nature. In addition to the matter let me define now what perspective is. ***Perspective pertains to a particular attitude toward or way of regarding something; a point of view.*** Thus, let me give a concrete example of human nature's complexity; the **pessimist** and **optimist's side**. **"My arms and my legs are already too cold and limp. And I am just too tired, too weak, to keep swimming"** This is the part when we already lose our hope due to the unhappy things we have encountered. Making us suffer anxiety and stress hence becoming pessimistic through the years. The next one is.. **"The waves are continuously crashing, so is our life. It will never be the same as before, but it will get better now."** This is when we overcame the dilemma that happened to our life. We become more postive on looking at the side of things. We tend to be more happy as the days went by. So, dear reader, let me ask you. On which side are you on right now? Share your perspective below and let's talk about that. 😊😩😊😩😊😩😊😩😊😩😊😊😩😊😩😊

A dose of happiness brought by flowers “Flowers always make people better, happier and more helpful; they are sunshine, food and medicine for the soul.” – Luther Burbank Without flowers, the world will be as gloomy as nimbostratus clouds. Thus, let us thank the Almighty for creating these wonderful pieces. They bring colors to our dull nature making us feel lively and cheerful and more energetic as it becomes our dose of happiness every day. Hence, allow me to share to you my dose of happiness.
