My Summer!

There is nothing worse than Summer Vacation. For most people summer vacation is a time to relax and to let go of things and don't care about the daily problems that life gives us. But for miserable people like me summer could only get worse. I loath everything under the sun. I hate it when people are enjoying themselves, I guess this is one of my many anti-social behaviors that people dislike of me. I don't like it when I am the one being ignored or left out but I don't want to be the center of attention either. So, to avoid humanitarian contact I alienate myself from summer activities that involve social interaction. Only a few selected people can deal with my bad attitude and lack of sympathy and empathy for others. I rarely get out of the house, you can only find me outside for two reasons:
1. If I go hungry and there is no more food then I would be forced to go out.
2. If there is an unexpected disaster which involves me leaving the house for my own safety.
I have many reasons why not to leave the house but here is the main reason why I stay in the comforts of my home. I don't like it when people stare at me! Yes, I am aware that I have a condition in which my physical outlook is repulsive to many and I hate it when people stare at me or talk behind my back or worse rudely insult me in front of many people! I guess filipino humor is way to superficial the punch line is always predictable and it always involve someone being the person to be laughed at and another being the initiator of the joke, I guess what I'm trying to say that I don't like being the laughing stock of the crowd. I am always the fat kid who is being picked on and I don't fight back because I don't want people to think that I am a bully, heck, then I'm the one being bullied. So, to avoid further humiliation I choose to stay at home where I think I am safe but the fact of the matter is even though some people think I'm a bad ass I'm really a coward because I can't even face my fears.  My fear of socializing began when I was a kid. I only have few friends and as time pass by I had less friends until I had no friends and although some people say I get along with them well I'm not really comfortable being close to someone for a very long period of time. I also have separation anxiety and many people think of me as a lunatic because of my strange social behavior and actively wild imagination. So, for me friends come and go, many of my former friends can't stand my temper. Now, these are the factors why many people choose to stay away from me and as I reflect on my acts it made me think that I'm a total idiot! So, to save myself from further shame and to spare the people around me of my unbearable behavior I exclude myself from any social activities. In the eyes of many I am just a simpleton but I surely know more about myself and I hope they will know more about me as well but for the meantime, John Diaz is skipping Summer!

Trip to Bulusan Lake

 

Bulusan lake is one of the most visited place in Sorsogon for its wonderful scenery and serene atmosphere. It is a place where people can become united with nature. In the video above my friends are joking around as we circle the circumference of the Lake itself. It took us about an hour and a half to walk the whole circumference of the Lake. Bulusan Lake is near Bulusan volcano, an active volcano which last erupted on 2007. The wonderful scenery of the Bulusan lake helped improve the local area of bulusan, attracting local and foreign tourists. Bulusan lake serves as a recreational place for weary people and its peaceful atmosphere relieves us the hustle of city life.

College, cOllege, coLlege!

This May its going to be enrollment season for the upcoming elementary, high school and college students; and as for me, well its going to be my second year in college. At first, I never really knew the value of education, most of the times I would only go to school, honestly, because of my allowance, yes I never thought of my future until now. I recently figure out that college is a very new experience for me unlike high school I really need to step up with my game and straighten things out. Suddenly, the room for mistakes became smaller and the pressure became intense. Just to share to you readers of this blog college is not fun, but sacrifices must be made. We can't really live our lives as wild party animals because we will always go to a certain point in our lives that we will regret things, and I don't want to regret not finishing my studies for some stupid reason. A few of us are lucky because we can study until college it never occur to me until just now. According to statistics only 1 out of 10 grade 1 students can have a possibility of going to college. I figured out that this is the time to straighten things up even though the road to change is hard I am willing to walk that road. I need to renew myself and rid myself of the bad attitudes that may hinder me from self-development. I hope that some of you readers of this blog may also have a change of heart. Think about your parents sacrifices for you just so you can go to school or better yet think of what your future might be.

newbie Problems

Last week I have been thinking about creating a blog but I don't know how so I resorted in making my own blog in Google but I still can't get the hang of this blog! i don't know how to use a computer I am just starting to use e-mail and I frequently use the internet so this blog that I am attempting to create is only a test run before I really create my serious blogs. This picture of mine was taken well, obviously just 3 weeks ago I was playing with that magnifying glass and made continuous shots with it in my camera.
