Ol 'bout Txting...

             Technologies have grown fast these days. New models of cellphones are already released. Cellphones are devices which are used for communicating. Cellphones are of a big help nowadays because in just clicking our cellphones we may be in touch with our friends or loved ones who are far from us. But, the question is, can texting affect my knowledge in English? Let's see.


             I am not fond of texting but I chat a lot. For me, it doesn't affect my knowledge in English because it will depend  in how I will apply the lessons in English in my life. Yes, I always use shortcuts like "Ty for Thank You. or GNSD for Good Night Sweet Dreams" but I use those shortcuts because I am too lazy to type the whole word. My friends also know the meaning of those so there is no need for me to type it whole. I also don't want to make it long for the receiver to read. As long as the idea of the message is there, for me, it is just alright. And when I'm in a hurry, I really need to use those shortcuts. So, it doesn't matter if you use those shortcuts as long as you know the real spelling and pronunciation of each word. But there are also disadvantages of those. Sometimes, we are having a bad time in remembering a spelling of each word.

          So, all in all, all we have to do is to limit the use of those shortcut words for us to have a better grammar in English. We also need to read more books for us to broaden our knowledge, our grammar skills and also in vocabulary. We need to limit the use of our cellphones to focus more on our studies.

         

           

A Week of Happiness

"Knock! Knock!
Who's there?
SEMBREAK.
SEMBREAK who?
SEMBREAK like a diamond! ♫♫♫"

                I saw this post on a particular page in Facebook. After reading this, I started thinking of what will happen or what will I do for SEMBREAK. The day before our SEMBREAK, I felt excitement because I will be able to have long hours of sleep and I will have time to bond with my family. Lonely because I will not see my beloved classmates. And nervous because of my grades. I enjoyed every hour, every minute and every second being with my classmates as if we will not meet again.

               My whole SEMBREAK only revolved around medicines, nebulizer, bed, food, taking care of my sick grandmother, cleaning our house, movie marathons, selfies, facebook, twitter, tumblr and many more. Cough, asthma and colds welcomed me at the very beginning of the SEMBREAK. It seems that they missed me so much after many years of not visiting me. My mom is worried that I will have my asthma back so she immediately took me to my doctor and had my check-up there. The doctor only gave me medicines. I helped in taking care of my grandmother who is from the hospital confined for almost two months. Even though I was sick, I helped my mother. And because of my grandmother, our house was fulled with my cousins and aunties and I need to maintain the cleanliness of our house for our health. My cousins and I just watched movies like Safe Haven, Warm Bodies, Insidious, Bed Time Stories and many more. We also cooked food. I helped in arranging flowers for the tomb of my grandfather. I also helped in cleaning and painting the grave.

              All in all, I really enjoyed the SEMBREAK because I had a fun time with my relatives.  I realized that being with my cousins is a lot happier than being with some of my classmates because I know that no one will harm me when I'm in home. I wish that I will have more time with them next time. Cause I know that there's no safer place for me than here in home.
