World Diabetes Day 2009: a day & an eye-opener

Today, November 14 2009, the world celebrates World Diabetes Day. As though it may seem diabetes is not important, IT IS. There are already 285 million diabetics across the globe and counting. Everyday, one of about ten people is diagnosed with diabetes. It's not easy to accept the harsh truth when you're diagnosed with the said disease, especially when your life is flowing just right.

It is my first time to be fully aware of this day, and it has already become my FAVORITE day (aside from my birthday, Christmas, New Year, Nick Jonas' brithday & Summer days). Today, in all parts of the world, diabetics & non-diabetics unite as they help fight diabetes. Different events are held to further help them understand diabetes better.

The 5 Kingdoms of Teacher-hood

Ok, we students all know teachers can be very unique with each other...in MORE ways than one. Some are strict and some are good; some are carefree and some are disciplinarians...I came across an article from my one of my favorite magazines about the 5 types of teachers:

1. LADIUS STRICTUS = Strict Lady

2. MAMMA MIA! = Mother-like teacher, or any teacher that smells like a vintage old lady

3. GEEKUS MATHEMATICUS = applicable only for Math & Science teachers

4. MISTRESS SISTERETTE = simple & normal teacher

5. CREATIVA SPIRITUS = probably your art & drama teachers are more likely to be of this kind

So there you have it...this is your ultimate guide to your teachers...
I'll explain to you one by one next time...

Have a nice day!

I cry because I'm in love...

Why is is that everytime teens are in love, their parents control them? I'm pretty sure they have been that way when they were teens. But why do teens and parents battle when it comes to ROMANTIC LOVE? Is it because the "unwanted" happening could attract them to do so?

These times, parents' biggest problems come when their children are in love. Different thoughts come to their minds, like their children not finishing college and instead, get married early and have a family at an age where fun is clearly elucidated. But really, what is wrong with falling in love?

My dear bloggers, falling in love is nothing to be worried about. The thoughts that our parents are thinking about are for our own welfare. But I tell you: nothing is wrong with falling in love. It was a God-given gift, so we must use it...WISELY...like time.

I have parents who are super-strict (probably because of their old age) and I'm completely envious of liberated teens who can have boyfriends and girlfriends. I wish someday, I'd find my own, so why not start now, right?

I should only listen to my parents' pieces of advices, but I shouldn't depend on them all the time. There are times that I have to do everything my own way and be independent beacuse, no one knows oneself better than oneself. No one knows who you are but you, so you should not hide under the rock and be scared. It may sound risky, I know, but at least you would be free.

I'm not telling you all to disobey your parents or something; that is bad. What I'm trying to say here is that, LOVE doesn't always have a negative aspect, no, not the way our parents see it. It has a positive aspect, too.

SO BE IN LOVE & ENJOY LIFE AS IT IS!!!

I am...a weak girl...who never gives up...

There comes a time when you feel that you're all alone, right? Well,that is exactly who I am. I am Arni, and I am weak, Yes, I am weak, maybe the weakest person ever.

But that doesn't hinder me from doing what I love: writing stuff. "From a burst of emotions come a fruit of art", I once thought. And it's true; once I get an emotion overload, I go staright to the desk to give birth to a new literary artwork.

From that, I've learned that, being weak can actually make you strong in mre ways than one. Because of my weakness, I'm now stronger than ever before. I am as mighty as a lion, as valiant as a knight.

To my bloggers out there, don't let anything hinder you from doing what you love...especially if you give birth to something new...
