8 - how do you get along with your cousins

"Good Time"



Family time is very important to us cousins. If ever we don’t see each other for a long time, we always plan a family gathering with our uncles’ house, or even our house.

We cousins are like brothers and sisters, we treat very closely. Every time we see each other, we always play games like one is the board games. We play the monopoly or the game of life. We love playing those games because at the same time we make fun of them. The other one is the guesstures, it’s a game where you do charades. This is one of our most played and favorite game to play. We go boys versus girls, and fortunately, us boys always win. Well not always but most of the time. Every time we see each other, we always look for games to play because if we can’t find anything to play. We make fun of our parents; we play rough with them and take a lot of pictures. That’s how crazy we get if we’re not occupied or not doing anything. The other game that we always, as in always play is the card games. First we play the “pusoy dos”; we always play this game because it’s our favorite card game. Then we play the game 1, 2, 3 pass, we only play this game if we’re to many which actually the fun part. We love hanging out in the malls, we go to timezone to play racing games or the shooting of the basketballs. But the number one thing that we always do is to watch movies together, in the cinemas or even at home watching with the DVD. Our favorite type of movie is the comedy. We also have vacations like going to the beach in Subic or Cagayan. We love beaches so much, we love island hopping and using the Jet Ski. We always go to deep places but if there’s a jelly fish, we always swim away right and go out of the water. We do performances on every event like Christmas and New Year. Dancing, singing and playing the instruments are the performances we do on these events. Our family loves dancing in parties especially if there’s a dance floor.

We cousins love each other like brothers and sisters. We never leave each other’s backs because we always got each other’s backs.

7 - experience in the hospital

"Awful Experience"



It was elementary, grade two in the school called Manresa school. I had an accident and this is actually my very first serious accident. That’s why I will never forget this experience of mine during my elementary days.

It all started when my adviser left the room for a while, then my friend and I played and went outside the classroom but only by the door. We kept running outside playing tag. Suddenly, our adviser was back, but the problem was where I was standing, my adviser will see me. So I ran and hid somewhere she can’t see me playing outside. But unfortunately when I was running, I wasn’t watching where I was going then that’s the time I hit my head on the gate. When my head got hit, I almost blacked out because I got dizzy but I didn’t really feel the pain, just dizziness. I ran to my adviser to check my head if it’s okay, but when she saw it. She shouted a bit because it didn’t really look good, meaning it was really a bad hit on the head. She brought me to the clinic rushing while my head was dripping blood on the floor. When we arrived the clinic, the nurse checked on it, wiped all the blood and tried to stop the bleeding because I’m already losing some blood. When the bleeding stopped, she told me and my adviser that I should be brought to the hospital. I got scared a bit because I hate the hospital especially with surgeries and stuff. Anyway, they brought me to the hospital and had my head scanned with an X-ray. The X-ray was not that bad but it was really a deep hit on my head. The doctor let me lay down on the bed and told me to relax a bit. Then the doctor started injecting some anesthesia beside the wound, he injected around two times or three. It really hurt so I screamed really loud because the doctor said it’s okay to scream anyway. After the anesthesia, they tried stitching the wound to close it. When the stitching was done, they cleaned some mess and wiped all the blood. The doctor told me that my wound is already okay, and then he gave me some names of the medicine to use for the healing. After everything, we went back to the school to call up my parents. When my parents heard of the accident, they were so shocked and scared for me. So they rushed coming to our school to pick me up.

This accident, I find it as a lesson learned. Next time, while I’m running, I will always watch where I’m going.

6 - the accident

"Lesson Learned"


There was this birthday of ours, where my sister and I was given a scooter. The color I had was yellow and the color red for my sister. We were so happy when we got that birthday gift. We kept using the scooter outside the house which is on the streets or sidewalks. We were having so much fun because we a routine by the sidewalks, we also kept playing the game following the leader. Playing that game with the scooters, we kept following each other’s backs on every path we go. Then there was this time that we got fed up with our routine outside our house. So we asked our dad if we could with him farther to try some different routes with our scooter. Then he said yes, while he was jogging, we were using the scooter. We left the house happily and excitingly. So we kept using our scooters on every way we want while our dad was jogging beside us. Then there was this street that’s going down and it’s pretty high actually. We got excited with it because it’s were going to ride slide but using our scooters. Then suddenly, in the middle of that street, my sister suddenly stumbled and landed on the ground. Her wrist got hurt so bad and gave her a sprain. She stood up, sat down on the side walk for a while and put her head down because of the pain. Our dad was going down quickly. And I went back for her right away. With that accident, we had a lesson learned on just not going to streets with rides like the scoter right away.

5 - My jobs at home

"OBEY"



Having jobs at home is hard especially when you have so much. We’re three brothers and sisters in the house but still I almost do all the chores and woks.

Now having these jobs is very tiring especially when it’s every day. But unfortunately I go to school almost every day as well. So those are being done by me most of the time, at night or even at the weekends. At night, I always wash the dishes as in always unless after eating I fall asleep. That’s the time they wash the dishes like my big brother or my mom. But that only happens seldom because my mom or my dad gets mad at me if ever I don’t wash the dishes especially if my mom washes it. Because counting that my mom already cooked the food, then she’s also going to wash the dishes and actually makes her really tired. My dad doesn't want that especially if something happens bad to her from tiredness. That’s one of the reasons why I don’t sleep right away despite that we always eat late dinner. Every event or occasion in the house, I always wash the dishes because we don’t have a made to do it. I’m actually busier on doing the dishes that entertaining the guests. But it’s okay for me because it’s not always anyway.  The other chore will be mopping the house, I always mop the house every clean up day. Though at least my sister brooms the floor then I mop. So that mopping chore is actually not that hard in a way. The other chore is the cleaning of the comfort room but only the boys though. Because my sister or sometimes my mom cleans there comfort room. But in the boys comfort room is mostly me doing or cleaning it. Though my big brother cleaned but only if ever it is needed.

But doing these chores is okay because at least I please my parents by obeying them on doing these jobs at the house.
