Into the Future..

Our graduation is fast approaching but I still don't know what course will I be taking up for College. Because of my problem, my mother told me that I should take up BS Nursing like my sister. She even shared all the pro's if I will take up Nursing. I know my mother was right that taking up this course will lead me into a good future. We all know that it is in demand abroad and it can let you earn much dollars. But I don't like Nursing as my course in College. I can't imagine myself wearing the white uniform. I think it looks bad on me. I also don't like this course because of the pressure it will bring in my studies. As what I observed with my sister, she's struggling in it. My sister too, before,doesn't like this course. But I think, she has finally learned my mother's point why she likes us to take up the certain course. Well, I guess, I should do the same thing as what my sister did. It's really hard for my part not to follow my own decision but I know, my parents were right.

They discouraged me in taking up on my chosen course, which is Fine Arts, because as they say, I will have no future in it. Less opportunities for jobs will come my way if I will choose this course. I guess my parents were right because it will not give me a good future compared to BS Nursing. But I really love Fine Arts, but I think I should give up on it and give way to Nursing.

Now, I have decided that I will follow their will for me. I know that someday, I will be able to love it as how I love my chosen course. I know it will take time for me to love it but I have to! I know I'm wrong because I'm not fighting for what I want. It's just okay with me now. I had finally accepted their decision for me.

But still, I can't get over in giving up Fine Arts. Know what? I had planned that after I graduate in Nursing, I'll enroll in the course I like. I think they would not mind if I will do it because I already finished the course they want from me. I guess it's my time to be happy, because I already made them happy by obeying them. My greatest dream really is to become a world-renowned artist. Sounds too ambitious right? Since I was a kid, I really love drawing. God gave me this talent which I am very thankful and be proud of. I even dreamed to have a cartoon show where the characters from it were my sketches. I know i can do this if I will believe in myself. But before this, I should accomplish first my other mission-to follow what my parents like for me.

I can be a nurse and at the same time the world-renowned artist. Isn't that cool?

My Only Treasures

Every person in the world needs someone to lean on especially when desperate time comes in one's life. They are there to be with you and help you out with your problem. If you seek for advices, they can give some too. With them, you can feel at ease because you know that you have them always at your side. We call them our friends.

I think all the people in the world has one cause I got plenty! I have lots of friends in school and at home. But there are those I treasure more, I call them my bestfriends!

At home, I have one bestfriend by the name of Phoebe Ann. We were friends since birth because we were raised up together. We also live in the same place and both our mothers worked in the same institution. We were together for just eleven years because they moved to another house. Still same place but quite far from ours. Others say that once you are away with your friends, it causes a weak friendship because of the fact that you have less communications with each other. But they were wrong, definitely wrong! I for one can prove it. Well, it's just because even if Phoebe and I are away now, we still consider ourselves bestfriends.

As I said, I also have bestfriends in school. I even got five of them! Why I choose the five of them? It's because they are worth to be called that way. My bestfriends in school includes the ever-caring Marie Lourneth, jamming Frances Marie, jocose Shydel, sweet Juna Rose and generous Jezza. Each of them has a unique characteristic which I surely love. Like the usual friends do, they are also there to support me.

Aside from my family, they are also my treasures in life. I can't afford to lose them. They are the best gifts that God has given me, and I thanked Him for that. I don't even know what will happen to me without them in my life. I consider them as my guardian angels here on earth because they guide me and lead me in the right way. I think I was just very lucky to have them all. I really love them as I how I love my family. I also treat them as my own sisters.

I am very glad to have them. They can take away all belongings but not my bestfrineds.

Thank you guys!

"My Highschool Life in UP High"

Last 2003, I finished my primary level in my former school which is Cebu Normal University. I was not ready to enter high school because of the pressure and to the fact that I will be away with my elementary friends. And I think I can't face the challenges without them. But i was wrong!
When i took the HSAT of UP High, I was not expecting that I would be one of the lucky students who will then be called “Iskolars ng Bayan!” I know that more challenging activities will come my way because I'm a UPian now.

When I first stepped on the grounds of UP High, I was still coping up on the new environment which I'm in. I was very bashful at that time because I still don't have friends with my batch mates.
It was my first day in UP High last June 2003. When the bell rang as a sign that students should enter their respective rooms, my sister accompanied me because I had no friends yet. In the Villamor room, I searched for a comfortable seat and there I found my first friend, Jann . From then on, we became friends because we were seat mates and we have same interests—sketching is our passion.
The bonding we had with the Bartlett people before was not too closew because we still don't know each other yet. But, I still had fun with my first year stay in UP.

With my second year, I also had fun with it. I was not missing my Villamor classmates because majority of the Benton students were my classmates before in Villamor. I was surrounded with “bulabog” people. I consider that section as one of the best!

Third year was memorable for me too. This was the year when we started to get really closer to each other. We knew each other more and it was nice to be with them,. Sison was one of a kind section too! With this section, I had experienced the life of a winner because we had won several contests in school. We had proven to the other sections that the section Sison was also best!

Now that I'm a Senior student, I am making every moment with them a memorable one because it is our last year to be together. Still, I'm not yet ready to be away with them because I think I will miss them.

My high school life in UP is very special in my heart. In my four years stay there, I have learned a lot of things!

Welcome to my World!

Hello there! This will be my first entry on my blog. And because this is my first one, I will just talk about myself for you to know me more.

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Novelyn Lao also known as Novylao or Lynlyn. My mother said that , before, they planned to name me Novelyn Tracy because I was born on November 13. Get the idea of my mom? Sounds cool right? I have a Chinese blood because my great grandfather is, I think at least 75% Chinese. What's the funny thing about me being a Chinese blooded is that, I don't know how to speak the Chinese language. My father didn't taught me how because he too doesn't know! Kinda weird right? I think we're the only Chinese who has big eyes, what I mean is, we don't have chinky eyes. Anyway, I am a resident of Urgello Street here in Cebu. I am the second daughter of Mr. Nerio and Mrs. Gloria Lao. I also have a sister named June Rhea who is a graduate from UP High.

I love sketching anime characters, watching movies, playing my guitar, texting, surfing the net, and most especially, talking with friends.

I was a graduate of the school Cebu Normal University. I spent my elementary life there. But now, I'm a “Iskolar ng Bayan”, and I'm proud of it.

I am an avid fan of Koreanovelas. For me, it is more entertaining than Filipino movies. My most favorite Korean film is Full House which was starred by Korea's finest Song Hye-Kyo and the singer Rain. I really like it because it makes me laugh. Aside from Korean movies, I still like watching anime and cartoon shows. I also love listening to musics. The type of songs I like are pop, rhythm and blues, and the popular genre here in Cebu, the bisrock which means Bisaya Rock!

I am also into sports. I even like the games which is played by boys, basketball! I think that's one reason why some would that I'm boyish or lesbian. I think that's qualified to be a basis to consider one's gender. I don't know why I also love basketball like the boys do. I also play other sports like softball, soccer baseball, badminton and scrabble. People, especially my friends, say that I'm so “kiatan”. I think i was born like this! Well, that's me!

My greatest dream in life is to graduate and be very successful in whatever I do in the future especially the path that I will take. I want to be a world-renowned artist who is working in Pixar studio or Disney. Sounds unachievable? Hey, nothing is impossible if you believe in and have faith with God. If I will strive harder, then I know I will succeed!

I do believe in the saying “What you are is God's gift to you and what you become is your gift to God.” This is very applicable to all.

Whew! I think I had fully describe myself. Now you know who really Novelyn is. I guess i should say these words, “WELCOME TO MY WORLD!!!”

Sayonara!
