Who am I?

            I am a third year student in Cavite National Science High School Maragondon, Cavite. I live in #318 H. Lontoc Timalan Naic, Cavite. I was born on January 26, 1999 in Trece Martirez City.  I am the first daughter of Mona Lisa and Angelo Cenizal.

            I am fond of doing things like drawing houses and different clothes. My hobbies include collecting stationeries, watching series and of course designing scrapbooks. I enjoy doing these kinds of things with an unexplainable reason. I don’t know why but when I am doing them I felt something different. It’s just it. I remember when I am on my interview for first year. They asked why I like arts. I can’t express my real thought and feelings at that time. I just felt the nervousness in myself. If I will be given another chance to answer this question, my answer will be: I like arts because whenever I do one, I felt something unexplainable. I felt something special. For me, this something given for me by God and he wants me to be inclined in it. So, I don’t waste any chance to enhance my abilities. I like arts because I believe that God gave me this kind of ability because he knows that I can do it.      

I have my weakness but I don’t depend on them. I may not do things perfectly, but I do them with heart and for me, this is the best ingredient of what I can add in my recipe of life. I am an optimistic person. I always see things in their positive ways that’s why, when I am doing things, I enjoy every part of it. I know I can do something someday. I will work hard to fulfill my dreams to pay back people whom in my life; I am in debt with, not just with money literally but with trust, love and loyalty that they gave me.

I may not do things that everyone does, but I do things in the best that I can. I believe that we were uniquely made by God in his own special way. I am Jan Cleomarie Camerino Cenizal and I believe that I am special.  

Letter for Him

Dear God,

Thank you for giving me the chance to see how the world looks like. Thank you for the air I breathe, for the foods I eat, for the water I drink and for the house I lived in. Thank you for granting my hopes. Thank you for my friends who cheers me up whenever I needed one, for my family who support my needs and most especially for my parents who understands me in times that I felt alone. For the fifteen years of life God, I thank you.

Sorry God that sometimes I lose my trust in you. I forgot that you will always be there for me. Sorry if I can follow the Man’s rules, but your Ten Commandments are difficult to do so. Sorry when you give me choices and I choose the wrong path instead of the right one. Sorry for being lazy, for not obeying my parents, for hurting some ones feeling and for not doing my tasks on time. Sorry for disappointing you in my attitude, for not paying back the value of all the things you gave me and most of all for hurting you.

When I was a child I wonder why there are always a misunderstanding between my mom and dad. I wonder why we don’t have big house, why I don’t call my parents “Mommy and Daddy”; I wonder why we’re not rich. I felt that my life was not fair. I asked myself, why do people not live equally? But when I grew up as a young lady, all of my questions had been answered. I was given a chance to live my life to answer all those questions, questions which I am fulfilling now.

  As I enter the real world, I never expect why God gave me this kind of life. He has plans for me. He just wants me to face the challenges and consequences in life, to learn a lesson and to feel how important I am. I knew that we are all equal, but not obviously seen. Those misunderstandings are just a part of a stronger relationship.  I know that God loves us all. I knew his reasons for not giving what all we want instead of what we need. It is for us to work hard and to achieve our goal more. I am delighted knowing these things. These things became my inspiration to achieve my goals in life, a life that was lent to me by the man above.

  God, please continue guiding us. Let us have good health and more years to come. Bless us all the time. Remove whatever bitterness maybe in our hearts. God, fill the empty space in our hearts with your love.

Amen

Second Chance

Learning from my mistakes are things I’m grateful for. These mistakes taught me several lessons which I can make up for the second time around.

            Regrets? Honestly, I don’t have any, because I believe from the very beginning that all things were already planned by God. He already had a plan for us, and this is what we so called, “destiny”. I believe that all things are destined to happen. All people whom we met, we make friends, and people whom we fall in love with. Faith, hope and love. But, there’s this one thing I want to undo in my life if I will be given a chance. Eating those unnecessary foods caused me to have UTI (Urinary Tract Infection) and now, I’m a suffering from that. Sometimes it was hard for me to pee. My back also aches. I was also excused from class because of this. I never thought that eating junk foods will slowly destroy me. Like what they say, “You are what you eat” and now, I believe with it.

            These regrets became part of our life that taught me many lessons in life. When there is need f eating healthy foods such as vegetables, we don’t eat and when it is not allowed to eat junk foods, we eat. Life is bitter sweet. I became brave as a lion when facing this kind of challenge. I was like a child back then.
