Every morning I can't leave without drinking Coffee or Chocolate. Today I have a rush day because I woke up so late which will make me late in my first subject if I stay long for a cup of coffee. So I decided to go to class without drinking coffee. But the side effect is when I'm in class my mind is not set into the subject or into the words that the instructor is saying. I am thinking of I should have take a cup of coffee or chocolate before I go to class. After My class here it is, the chance to have my favorite drink. I go to Mcdo but they don't have available hot coffee, And I have decided to go to SM which is near to our school. And Thank God I saw Go Donuts and I remember they are selling brewed coffee.

A quiet night So silent that I can only hear the wind My fantasy has begun Seeing you at my dream was not impossible But when I woke up It felt I really know him for so long How I wish every night I see you again and when I open my eyes You are really here besides me.

When will I see myself laugh because I really love too Not because I just want to show you that I'm happy without you When will I see the confident in my eyes That I'm doing the right decision When will I see myself that I'm contended on what I have And doesn't look back with full of regrets When will I see myself proud Of what I can do more than anyone thinks of When will I see myself accepting who I really was That I can't be the one that I'm dreaming of When will I see myself do my best to fight everything that is coming That hiding is not the best solution for what I already know is happening

Pretending is so easy. We can pretend to be okay even though where not. That we understand, but we don't. Acting like busy, but in reality your lonely. Convincing people that you want to be friends, but what you really want is more than friends. When you know that he has somebody new, you act like it doesn't hurt, when it really hurts so bad inside. When you say you've moved on, but the truth is your still waiting. When you say it's over, but you know you still love him.

A friend defines the real meaning of friendship. It isn't based on how many secrets you share. It isn't how well you get along nor how much you like each other. It isn't how people see you together. But it appreciates the differences, the gaps, the hindrances, and the trials. And still a friend looks at you straight from the heart without hatred, without judgement, without envy, without criticism, only pure acceptance. Friendship means understanding, not agreement. It means forgiveness, not forgetting. It means memories las, even if contact lost.

Be thankful that you don't have everything you desire. If you did, what would there be to look forward to? Be thankful for the difficult times. It's during those times you grow. Be thankful for your limitations. Because they give you opportunities for improvement. Be thankful for your mistakes They will teach you valuable lessons Find a way to be thankful for your troubles, And they can became your blessings.
