That CRUSHing Feeling

Love Won’t Hurt You, It Will Just CRUSH you! –Joke! This feeling depends on how the person handles this sticky situation. Well, my blog today is about crushes. Wonder if all what I’ve said goes on the right track? Let’s read along to find out, if you really want to persevere reading this awfully long entry of mine.

A crush defined is a word used to describe special feelings you have for another person, a classmate, or friend that you really like. It is also said to be a bit like the romantic love adults feel toward one another. It seems as if having a crush on a specific person has been going on in ones life since the time of our ability to walk.

Well, I too had a share of such feelings. I never expected to feel that when I was still very young at about five years old. I can’t remember his name for I had just played with him at that age. We always climb up wall, dig dirt, and do childish stuffs. All I know, he was fun to be with and he treated me nicely as a good friend. I admired him for that. Not all children at that age, especially a boy would enjoy playing with a little girl like me.

Yes, the feeling of having a crush is intense and this is what I exactly felt or somewhat related to these: getting butterflies my stomach, I think about him often, and I sometimes tend to be clumsy around him.

Not all things last forever though. The usual day we met was not what I’ve expected at all. He didn’t arrive. No person to play with, talk with and laugh out loud with. I got sad all of a sudden not knowing why he disappeared. Then, it hit me. I asked my parents about it. They said the boy’s grandma won’t work in ours anymore that is why he didn’t go back, though I still hoped for him to go back. It remained like that for a very long time. Eventually, as time passed by I slowly forgot all about him until, I couldn’t even remember much of those childhood days spent with him. When I grew up, crushes never did touch me as much as when I was younger. It is as if I’ve developed this immunity against them. Just kidding, I always have minor crushes. They tend to disappear overtime it makes no difference at all.

I don't worry because I’m not alone and these feelings are normal and happen to everyone even parents. It would also be a good idea to talk to them about it. Some good ways to bring up such a subject to your mother or father would be asking them of their first crush and then from there bring up the boy or girl you have a crush on but I couldn’t even have the guts to talk much about these things to them. Another good person to talk to would be a person you trust greatly, like a best friend. Also a diary or journal is a good way to let out your feelings of a person, but just remember to keep it in a safe place; from little brothers or sisters, still, I don’t follow what I’ve said about spilling emotions towards crushes here.

Having a crush helps us realize the qualities we like or dislike in a person. Crushes never really seem to be chosen; as they always seem to be coming out of no where and are unexpected. And when thinking of a crush you tend to want someone to have the same reciprocal feelings of having a crush on you. When having a crush the most obvious kind of attraction to them is physical. We are attracted to those who are pleasing to look at. The most common forms of crushes seem to be on a professional athletes or famous celebrities; however, in time we’ll never really meet them in person, but it’s still o.k. to dream and look.

Maybe, not based too much on my own experiences but from what I’ve observed from many people who experienced the same thing as well,

HERE ARE THE POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE SIDES OF HAVING CRUSHES:

The positive side is that happy feeling you got.

The negative side is; what if the feelings aren’t mutual or what if he doesn’t even know I exist? Chances are he or she has probably seen you around school, but doesn’t know your name. However, with celebrities they probably don’t know who you are. But for the guy or girl that goes to your school a couple of ways to possible talk to them is if he or she’s on a sports team and they have a game, compliment him or her on playing, try and be interested in what they like. Sometimes even a simple “hello” will do the trick. Another thing about crushes is if the infatuation is not the same. That’s called a broken heart, but don’t worry you can recover from it. And maybe for some reason they don’t see your great charm and great looks to be appealing to them it is alright too; you can always just have them as a friend because I’m sure that would be great too because chances are you’ll have many more crushes.

Yep, that wraps all about everything I could spill. Too bad I can’t remember the name of the first crush I ever had though. :(

Just a Simple Student, saying Thanks to our Beloved Teacher!

Yeah! This week didn't turn as good as the last one. In fact, it got worse. Boring, too many homework, too many projects and too much hassle. Well, I'm not complaining or anything but, this week's highlight is Thursday after classes and Friday of the next day, when we celebrated Valentine's Day with our beloved, Ma'am Tenny del Rosario. I'd prefer to call her in her nickname. It sounds good and that's what I'm accustomed to.

Thursday, yes, the thought slipped our minds for we were all caught in a bundle of student work. Man! To the last minute, we thought we'd never make it. Well, anyways, we planned it after ma'am left us so she wouldn't see us making anything at all. Then, I went ahead to the track near PUP. Boy, was I early. There weren't any signs of my classmates. I thought I was left alone, heck Ria and Karissa found my way and there, we embarked to go to the flower shop. Then everybody, well almost all of them, Ajae, Jenna, Ten, Kat and Elai caught us on the way. Yep! all was set but what we needed was those lovely teddy bear and balloon presents. It took us a million years to decide which was perfect.Finally we went over the school in our room and planted everything there.

Friday, the day where it was to be initiated. We still made other preparations. The leaves as substitutes for the rose petals we planned on spreading, cutting of hearts and furnishing the Valentine card. Well, thirty minutes passed from what we expected that ma'am would have come thirty minutes earlier. Well, when we saw her, alert! We lined up giving her a salute, welcoming her with our hands filed up above her head.

The real fun began when ma'am said her emotions towards us, hugging crying and whatever stuff you'd feel when you're sad and happy. Great, heck it made us flush out tears not to mention ma'am as well. It was fun and we enjoyed every bit of it. Nice I'd say, yes this is only once in a lifetime. Cool.

Well, I'm just a simple student, saying Thanks to our Beloved Teacher, Ma'am Tenny del Rosario!

Compressed Jobs

Well, yes, Monday was ever so relaxing,not that much teachers around, and heck was is so fun to sleep all day. Well,I just felt ill so I'd rather waste my time in sleeping. Anyways, to jump start my week...

Monday Morning, the sun shines so brightly, so it means it was so hot. We didn't have our first period which was AP for ma'am Evelyn was too busy. Instead, she let Sheila take care of the whole thing. And so, it happened. Our discussion was full of laughter, jokes and stuff so,it ended up to nothing much. Every time Sheila would see ma'am pass by, she'd start discussing like a funny preacher in front. Isn't that wild.

Tuesday, typical day, still experiencing lots of free time, we started off with Filipino. Since only a few minutes was left due to cleaning demands for the grass outside was getting to be much of a hindrance for a nice clean surrounding, ma'am Tolentino just showed us our LSB's for there's no more time left. She always guarantees us that we'd never forget her for, hey, we always have a bunch of assignment from ma'am. Anyways, we'd have this oration in English so everybody's getting the hang of memorizing, putting in their very best efforts. Anyways, we'll just have to see how ma'am Tenny reacts with our performances on Friday.

Wednesday, Ah as usual this is PE day and for a change we had badminton.The game was rather boring for we didn't enjoy that much.We still had to officiate the game that's why and we played in doubles. The rules were confusing but we managed to get through all of it. Ah, yes, still experiencing the luxurious benefits of tremendous free times ahead, seat works in Chemistry, a vacant period in Statistics, we were given enough time to practice for our oration on Friday. Well, when it was time to go home, we still cleaned the grassland in front of our room. Heck, it was tedious work and not to mention full of hindrances. I felt something move in my shoe. Well of course it wasn't a big deal for me whatever that thing maybe, well, I got worried about it and jumped away from my shoe shouting like, ah whatever some people call it, silly and there, upon shaking the shoe, the small frog jumped out. Nice! I couldn't believe that I'll Have a frog in my shoe!

Thursday and Friday, a day to day combination of madness, craziness and happiness. Still with numerous free time we enjoyed every bit of these days. One thing is The PTC on Friday. We still got incomplete grades though but at least I got higher. Anyways, we still had to go home early for we will have a JS practice tommorow. Talk about school days. The oration went well anyways so the only problem now is the declamation. O!a lot to memorize, but it's okay, anyway, we'd have a Speech Festival the following weeks.

Saturday, couldn't believe myself that I'll include this as a part of school days. Apparently, it is. We stayed from 7 to past 6 PM. It was tedious work but at least we managed to finish off stuffs that are neccessary.

So, Sunday is rest day or maybe not. I still have many homework left undone. Good for me I already did my Noli in advance.
