It's been just like yesterday that Sir Jun told us that we will have a FIL-AM classmate for just the month of July, and Sir Mike told us to practice speaking English because our new classmate is already been in the building our our classroom. I was soo happy that time because I was going to be her seatmate, and I would know her more than my other classmates would know her. The time had came and Sir Jun introduced her to us and we met our new classmate, Matilda Jean Rose Mercer, her nickname that she wants to be called is Jeana. She has a white complexion, eyes like Miley Cyrus and blonde hair like Taylor Swift's.
At first, she was quite shy, she still doesn't want to talk and mingle with our other classmates. She frequently asked questions to me regards about how does the environment in our class goes. I was also listed by our great class president that I was noisy, at that time, It's Math time, a strict class. So I was going to be scolded by our Math teacher regards about that. But Jeana raised her hand and told our teacher that I became noisy because I was just helping her. Then I guess that is the start of my closure classmate with that girl.
On the next day, his twin brother came. His name was Raymond. At first, I didn't expect that he was Jeana's twin brother. He's most likely different from Jeana, He was bigger and taller than Jeana, chubbier, his eyes are more round,he also wears glasses, his attitude were different from Jeana's, He easily talks to the boys in our class, and also socialize with them too. He was signatured in our class because of his "Jai Ho" dance step. :)
The following weeks, Raymond didn't attend school. Jeana does go to school. She told me that Raymond doesn't want to wake up early and he prefers playing Wii, Nintendo DS and other playing consoles, well then, even I would love to play games all the time because July is america's summer vacation.
days passed and Jeana's losing her shyness towards us. She's starting to talk and play with others, especially with Josh, his more on crush on our school. ^^, Her great attitude towards us makes us good friends not just with me but with everyone of us. :)
On her 2nd Week, she gave me a charm bracelet, it's a half of a heart and written "friends" The another half is with her written "best". She told me she gave this to me because i was the first one whom she met and made friends. i was soo happy that time, because it was my frist opportunity to made friends with a person with a different culture and lifestyle with us.
On her last week, she didn't came on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. Her last day was yesterday, Thursday. Because She'll be leaving Philippines on Friday. When she arrived, we were all almost teary eyed because it's her last day. Her mom also came and took a whole class picture of ours including Jeana at the middle. She also took picture of our class during lunch time and breaks. Sir Jun and the class officers had a plan, Sir Jun gave us 100 pesos and we should buy her a gift/remembrance so that she could always remember us even on New Jersey. :)
When the class was dismissed, we almost didn't leave our classroom yet so we can have a last moment with her. We took pictures, give remembrances, I gave her a friendship bracelet, I only gave it to those people who were really special to me. And she also give her email address to me, twitter and her other net accounts. So we can talk to her even she was in New Jersey.
What lesson I've learned and what feelings I do realized?
-The lesson and feelings I do realized is that the difference between a culture, nationality, lifestyle and traditions is not a great barrier for us to create a golden treaure that we can keep in our hearts forever it the ----- Friendship. :)
I hope other people got insipred with this "essay" I've made with what unforgettable experience I had in my life. :) Thank you all!

Whatdaheckk. Classes had been cut and we were dismissed by 12 instead of 2:30. Damn.
Last morning, at around 6:43 AM, I'm finished getting ready for the school, err. Even it was raining cats and dogs. Then, at around 6:50 AM, the Unang Hirit Declared that all elementary schools in Bulacan are suspended. I was shocked at first, kasi nakakapanghinayang. I woke up too early and finished my art project and then ganun lang mangyayari, so I planned to change clothes at around 7, still waiting for my service to come. And nagulat nga ako, my service came and fetched me. our school doesn't suspend our classes that time. So after our Flag Raising Ceremony inside our room, Our prinipal came and told us that we will be dismissed at around 12 PM, lunch hour for us.
Supposedly, we will have our school gardening, but because of that !@#$ typhoon Isang, It was postponed. I dunno when will we do it. So it's P.E time. and we cannot go to the basketball court to play. So we played indoors, and since the activity hall was vacant at that time, we were challenged to play luksong tinik . Luckily, no one of us got harmed or injured. && tomorrow will be HIS birthday, Happy birthday to you, even though I know you're not reading this. ;D
Till here!
