Semestral Break | A Time to Relax

          Semestral break is what every student needs. A time to relax from all the school work and pressure. A time to have fun, and even with bond with families or friends. It was music in my ears when I heard that we will have our semestral break but then I remembered that it is also the time wherein the teachers will give a bunch of homework or projects. It made me think that it is not really a break but just school at home but to my surprise, the teachers really didn't give those much things to do.
          The first night of our semestral break, I tried to do all of the homework needed but I wasn't able to do it. Even though I kept on thinking that I should do this so that I will be worry-free for the next coming days but laziness was just too powerful. I mainly stayed home and only went out once because of an output we needed to pass for the seminar I attended with my seminar mates. We had really fun and we enjoyed because we got to know more about each other. 
          Other than that, I was just at home and sometimes I am even alone but it was okay since I was able to spend my time by watching gaming videos on YouTube. People might think that I'm weird but I don't have the money to buy the games that in YouTube. It is so worth it though because some of them are really hilarious and some even gave me new insights about life. I mainly watched Cryaotic, SeaNanners, PewDiePie, and then Minx. I even downloaded a game called "Dead Trigger 2" which is a first-person shooter game. It is very addicting and I recommend people to play it if they are interested in this kind of stuff. I will usually stay up very late at night yet I don't regret anything.
          I took a rest from those things and just watched "vines". I saw a vine about digital painting and I thought that I should also make a digital painting with an actual face unlike my past works which don't have faces. You can probably guess who's picture I got to do it and it was Ella's. I asked many people to see my progress and to check if it looks like her and then after that I became satisfied.
         I was also getting updated with Lady Gaga through a group and I'm just really addicted to her. I was listening to her new songs nonstop each night. My sister would even be annoyed that I keep on repeating and repeating the song and I try to keep it as down as possible for her because my mom would go alongside with her. I also saw new sides of Lady Gaga that made me love her more.
          My sister, who is rarely home, came home on November 1 and after going to the cemetery which is literally just behind our house and just a door away from the gym below us, we went to our Aunt's house and discovered that my cousin went home and brought something with her but it was still in her stomach or rather, womb. I was just happy for her and I can't wait to see what "she" will look like and also thank to "her", our two families are finally getting better and also, my other cousin who was like away for I think more than 3 years, was finally going back to the Philippines sometime in January.
          Everyday from the start to the end of our break just went like that. I just don't like all of the horror-related stuff shown on TV. I did the projects bit by bit so that I won't have a hard time at the day before classes resume. As a matter of fact, I just needed to add a few more details to my projects and I will be finished so I wasn't really that pressured and I was even able to watch more videos. I was a little sad though because everything went so fast.
          For me, my semestral break was really worth it if we focus on my personal life. I learned a lot of things and I was able to catch up with relatives because they were away for like a long time. My sisters and I had bonding moments with our midnight snacks and other more stuff. Meanwhile, if we focus on my school life, it is not looking so good because I haven't studied any of the future topics. I did not even try to open a single book that I brought home so those books were just merely props for the semestral break. I'm really happy with what happened with my semestral break because it is one of the best breaks ever. I hope this coming Christmas break will be better.
