All of us need a companion in life, no one lives in this world without any companion, confidante or someone you can lean on, without having one; you might have a serious problem. It has a saying that “no man is an island” and this is perfectly true especially to those teenagers like us.
Our friends are the one whom we shared our feelings especially in our laughter’s and those problems that comes in our way. They are the one who understand and give us some advices; they also help us in our ups and down. A good friend is always there for us to support whatever we want to do unless it doesn’t put us in a wrong way.
At first, in this College life, it’s hard for me to choose a real friend, friends that never let go of you when in times of problems because I thought all my classmates before are so snobbish and it’s hard to be with them but when I met Angeline Mariano, Rose Orbeta and Kristine Galos, my perception to them was changed.They are the kind of a person who never let go when I have a problem instead they are trying their best for making me laugh to forget those problems I’ve been facing right now. I really appreciate their concern to me.Because of the attitude they’ve shown me we became friends and I will make it sure that we stay together until we grow older.
Every one of us helping each other especially when one of our friends had a problem, we don’t want our friends are being abuse or hurt by someone because if that’s happened we won’t ignore that, we fight until it will last. I really thankful to God because he gave me a friend like them; they’re not back fighter at all.
Seeing each one of them everyday is one good reason why I’m here and happy. The laughter’s, pain, sorrows, tears, struggles we’ve facing each day make ourfriendship even more stronger than before. My friends are the one who always making me smiles and stronger despite of the problem I’m facing so that’s why I love them so much with all my hearts and soul. All those memories and laughter’s we’ve shared, I’ll treasure it.
The word “THANK YOU” is not enough to express our gratitude to our friends or bestfriends and the every word and every moment we’ve spend is a rare treasure.
For me, the true meaning of friends is the person who loves you and accepts you for what you are now without judgment and the one who help you to be a better person and that is the real essence of friendship. Being true to your self is the one of the biggest asset that we have to maintain to ourselves to make it stronger the friendships we’ve treasured.And having friends for the rest of my life is a golden treasure.

The impact of Peer Pressure to Adolescent
By: Anne Michelle Gonzales
No one lives in this world without any companion, confidante or someone you can lean on, without having one; you might have a serious problem. It has a saying that “no man is an island” and this is perfectly true especially to those adolescent like us.
Peer pressure is a natural part of our life. It is one of great interest in the psychological field. Our peers are the people with whom we identify and spend our time with, they also the people with whom you socialize with from best friend to a broader circle of close friends.
Nowadays, adolescents are much more curios. They want to try something new to satisfy their curiosity and be able to fit in with their peer group. This curiosity leads them to the experimentation and practice of some high-risk behaviors such as using drugs and drinking alcohol. Adolescence is the time when childhood dependencies and ways of life are abandoned, more or less for good. This cannot be achieved without conflict and confused feelings.
The changes and pressures of adolescents are often played out at home. Many teenagers become discontented with their parents’ rules and values, leading to misunderstanding and arguments. Serious conflicts may lead to serious problems including running away, pregnancy, theft, alcoholism, use of drugs and even suicide. Teenagers choose their friends based on similarities, values, beliefs, and attitudes.
Adolescents can experience negative and positive influences from their peers. It can be described as the influences and pressures that the adolescents experience from his peers. Peer group provides opportunities for practicing new behaviors and developing necessary social skills for future interaction. Peer groups can also lead to the experimentation of drugs, cigarette, skipping classes, engaging in sex and other high-risk behavior.
A positive peer pressure can keep a person on the right track. His peers can influence him to study hard, attend religious functions, and become a better person. But on the other side, it can lead him to the wrong path. This negative peer pressure can influence him to doing the things that will definitely harm him and make his life miserable. His peer group can teach him to use drugs, smoke, skip classes and other various negative behaviors. These influences will surely affect his relationship with his parents and other persons that are involved in his life. It will also affect their lives either for better or for worst.

Adolescence is the time when the physical changes in their bodies have a profound effect on their total personality, emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually.

Lesson 5 Oggood
Bontocs refer to the people in Mountain province which derived from two morphemes “buns” (heap) and tuk “top”. “Lumawig Bontoc’s God and culture Hero” these are the literary work of Oggood, the important myths which is not like literary works of other tribes. It is not an epic and folktales form, it is a narrative and thematic chant and maybe a fragment of a chant not unlike the other epic.

Reaction Paper:
The story of Biag ni Lam-Ang was so adventurous and fantastic. Lam- Ang is a good and loving son, he want to have a complete and happy family so, although at his early months of age he need to find the Igorots, and have to fight with them to make revenge with his father's death. Lam- Ang was a brave man; he ignored a crowd of Igorots on his way of arrival. Many of the obstacles come when he's still in the war with Igorots he never gives up unless he can finally achieve his goal. And his goal is to be lost the entire Igorots in world and get the justice for his father.
Also it's so fantastic; imagine at the early months of age based on the story he already talking and walking, and he is demanding too, he told to his mother that he should be named Lam- Ang. He died when he bitten by the giant fish called Berkakan, then after they found his bone, his two pets (dog and rooster) dog crowed, the hen flapped their wings, and the dog growled and running at the bones of Lam- Ang like a magic Lam- Angwas give another life.
Lam- Ang has a word of honor and integrity in life even though their way of living isn't the same with the girl he like (Ines Kannoyan- the daughter of the richest man in the town of Kalanutian) he do all his best to be equal to wealth of Ines so that he can bestow the hand of Ines. .
I'm so proud of Lam- Ang because he's not afraid whatever could be happened to him, all he wants is to have a justice for his father. He had a determination in life and that attitude cannot be found in many people in our surroundings. Also the word of honor and integrity of Lam- Ang gives me strength to be strong in those problems comes in my life.
But when you applied the story of Lam- Ang in the real life it would be unbelievable because in reality is there is no any magic that gives the people another life unless our God give us miracles. When we have a strong faith to God, he can't put us to wrong things that make our life miserable. God is always there at our side, loving and guiding us, give strength and knowledge to come up all the difficulties and trials comes.
To start with I have something to tell more about my life I would like to introduce myself first. I’m Anne Michelle Gonzales 17 years old. I was born in San Felipe, Zambales. My birthday was on February 17, 1990. My mother name is Lilia Gonzales and I’m only one child. I don’t have any information about my father since birth. I live in Zambales where my grandmother Maura Gonzales is the one who’s taking care of me until I grown up. I studied in province since elementary until high school but now I already live in West Crame, San Juan . My mom told me after I graduated in High School that she will support my studies here in manila to get a college degree and now I am already studying in Rizal Technological University taking up a Bachelor of Science in Office Administration major in Office Management.
Furthermore, I want to describe myself. I’m 5’2 in height and have a weight of 45 kilos. My hair is not to long and it has a blend of color blonde. I’ve got a Filipino complexion but instead of being proud sometimes I felt insecure because sometimes they insulted me of my complexion. They told me that I’m dark and I cant even seen in the dark that is why I want to have a flawless and white complexion so I ask God why he gave me this complexion. The color of my eyes is black the sane as my eyebrows that looks like snobbish to the point that my friends misunderstood me because of this. I can’t blame them because that one of my devil asset. When you looked at me in a side view I have a beautiful nose but when you face in front its look like a tomato and I have a small dimple in my right face that adds my cute face. Also I have a slim body, my vital statistics are; breast-34, waist-26, hips- 28 and butt- 34. Before someone ask me if I do household chores because of my long fingernails. Since I was a kid I love dancing and singing so at the age of 10 I’d joined dancing and singing contest every time there will be a program in our school. When I’ve been entered in a college life knowing there will be have an audition for CBET Cheering Squad without hesitation I’d tried I was shocked when I passed that audition. I’ll never expect that much but at this year my mom didn’t want me to joined again so that I felt sad because dancing is my favorite hobbies that I want to shared with.
I have a lot of relatives here in manila even in our province so although I’m separated wit my grandmother it’s not too hard for me to adopt the social life here because of the love and attention given me by my mom, friends, and relatives. In my first two weeks here I hate to go out I felt ashamed every time there was a persons looking at me so I decided to stay inside the house. At first it’s hard for me to adapt the social life here in manila, there are a lot of different people you interact with that in province but at this moment little by little I had been adapt it. Sometimes Ill become rustic with my mom especially when she preaching me for the wrong things I’ve done.
Now, I have a lot of friends but I don’t know who’s of them a true friend of mine. As my experience before I was a high school, some of there are backfighter, insecure, and the worst of all is they only know you if they need your help but Ill never angry with them I never treated them the same attitude they’ve shown me instead Ill be kind for them. I’m a type of person kind but frank, helpful, have respect, honest, and lovable but once they break my patience Ill do everything to fight for myself.
I remembered the first day I’ve seen Camille, I get angry with her, and I thought she’s mataray and maarte. I misunderstood her because of her eyebrows the same to me but when I know her well she’s kind, and we became close friend. I learned to this situation that “don’t judge a person by her physical appearance unless you don’t know what could it be her real attitude”. There’s some case even I don’t know the person I’m the one who first interact them with a respect in many ways by smiled at them saying hi and hello and I’ve talked them knowing more about there life the after that we become friends.
During my elementary life I thought I could be already in a college level so if I graduated and find a job I’m the one who help my family in theirs ups and down. I wish I could be become a professional someday so I need to strive harder to make my dreams come true. As I have said we should learn a lot of things. Elementary life is so easy, the subjects and activities therefore I’m in honorable list; grade 5- top 9 and grade 6-top 8. In elementary math it’s easy for me to come up with but when I’m entered high school and college life the subjects are hard. Ever since I hate numbers, I would even be obviously say that I hate math especially algebra. But I love Pilipino, TLE, and I love Social Studies so much, every time there will be an examination I got almost perfect score, bragging aside I’m good when it comes to social studies and in now in college level I love Steno subject. High School life is the best of all because if you entered college life its too much harder . You need to study hard; it is more on reporting, project, assignment, and exams
Many problems come in our life so we need to be strong in all things and we must pray everyday. It’s the only way on how we can show the trustiness and faithfulness to God. God is the only one who guides us in all things we’ve done especially in goodtime and bad times. Every night I pray god telling him thank you for the food and guidance he gave to my family. It’s too long, almost four months I never go to church, there’s time I’m tired because 6 days (Monday-Saturday) I spend my time in school. And Sunday is only my rest day. Even though I didn’t attend mass every Sunday I never forgot to pray. I hope god forgive all my sins sometimes I do bad things and I get naughty. I remembered the day I’d pray when I have a lot of problems and I don’t know what to do I told him give me a strength to solve all of this trials comes, maybe two days later I found a solution for this. You know what when I was a kid I thought God is only in a fairytale but when I grown up I realized that he’s real and he always there to guide us. If we have a strong faithfulness to our mighty God he is willing to help us without doubt. God knows what could be the bets for us and he’s the only one who knows our future to be. I thankful god every time I need his help he was there, he can never stop to help people especially who am in dire need of time.
Then lastly, we go to my emotional aspect. I’m happy person/ kalog even though I have a lot of problems I cant stop myself from smiling and laughing everyday. Maybe it’s because of my friends who will always there for me when I need someone to lean on. Maybe some people get curious and asking why I’m so happy every day even I’m apart of broken family. As I have said a while a go, since birth I don’t have any imformation about my family, I didn’t know his name and where he is now. Yes, I telling the truth, it’s really hurt for me that I couldn’t have any idea about him. I don’t have a father to call papa or dad sometimes I envy with other person who have complete family. Since I was born in this Christian world I never experience the love given by a father to his/her son/daughter. I remembered when I tried to ask my mom if what my father’s name, what happened with him I am curious about him but refused to answer all my questions. At that time I felt disappointed and I decided not to ask that question anymore. I felt sad every time I remembered that but that’s life it must go on maybe someday I would able to find him. That's my life but i know god is always there for me to guide me and give strength to face all the trials that comes in my life.
