Never too late

As I sat there in English class, I stared at the girl next to me.She was my so-called 'best friend'. I
stared at her long, silky hair. I wished she were mine, but she didn't notice me like that.And I knew it.

After class she walked up to me and asked me for the notes she had missed the day before, and I handed them to her.She said 'thanks' and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I wanted to tell her. I wanted her to know that I don't want to be just friends. I love her, but I'm just too shy. And I
don't know why.

11th Grade...

The phone rang. It was her on the other end. She was in tears, mumbling on and on about how her love had broke her heart.

She asked me to come over because she didn't want to be alone, so I did. As I sat next to her on the sofa, I stared at her soft eyes, wishing she was mine. After 2 hours, a Drew Barrymore movie,and three bags of chips, she decided to go to sleep. She looked at me,said 'thanks,' and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her. I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends. I love her, but I'm just too shy.And I don't know why.

12th Grade...

The day before prom she walked to my locker. 'My date is sick,' she said. He's not going to go. Well, I didn't have a date and in 7th grade we made a promise that if neither of us had dates we would go together just as 'best friends,' so we did.

Prom night, after everything was over,I was standing at her front door step. I stared at her. She smiled at me and stared at me with her crystal eyes. I want her to be mine, but she doesn't think of me like that,and I know it. Then she said, 'I had the best time,thanks!' and gave me a
kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her. I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends. I love her, but I'm just too shy. And I don't know why...

Graduation Day...

A day passed. A week passed. A month passed. Before I could blink, it was graduation day. I watched as her perfect body floated like an angel up on stage to get her diploma. I wanted her to be mine, but she didn't notice me like that, and I knew it. Before everyone went home, she came to me in her smock and hat, and she cried as I hugged her. Then, she lifted her head from my shoulder and said, 'You're my best friend, thanks!' and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her. I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends. I love her, but I'm just too shy. And I don't know why...

A Few Years Later...

Now, I sit in the pews of the church. She is getting married,now. I watched her say, 'I do' and drive off to her new life, married to another man. I wanted her to be mine but she didn't see me like that, and I knew it. But before she drove away, she came to me and said, 'You came!' She said, 'thanks!' and kissed me on the cheek.I want to tell her. I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends. I love her, but I'm just too shy. And I don't know why...

Funeral...

Years pass, and I looked down at the coffin of the girl who used to be my best friend.' At the service they read a diary entry she had wrote in her high school years. This is what it read: I stare at him wishing he were mine. But he doesn't notice me like that, and I know it. I want to tell him. I want him to know that I don't want to be just friends. I love him, but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why. I wish he would tell me he loved me...i wish I did too...i thought to myself, and I cried.



------------------------

NOTE: Well, I think I kinda have this situation before.. I understand how that guy feel.. Just because some times we scared to face the truth.. we scared that we might not be friend anymore or not as good as that anymore.. so prefer to stay the same..

I think this is life.. if he/she's yours, then he/she's yours.. no doubt about it.. it's all destined..

Helpful Scholarship Tip - MUST READ

Tip #1 - ATTENTION TO DEADLINES
Try and have your application arrive EARLY as possible, absolutely not after the deadline date! Send applications with a “return receipt requested” or “registered” to make sure they get there. This also conveys a positive characteristic about the sender.

Tip #2 - START YOUR APPLICATION WITH A “THANK YOU” COVER LETTER

Sample Cover Letter:
YOUR NAME
Address
City, State, Zip Code
Telephone number and Email address

Name of person
Title
Name of organisation
Address
City, State, Zip Code

Dear (insert name):

This letter is an introduction of myself, (your name), and my desire to participate in the (whatever it is called) Scholarship Programme. I have been accepted to (Name of your College) for the 2008 academic year.

I would like to thank you and the (whatever) Scholarship Committee for supporting college students with an opportunity for financial assistance through your scholarship programme. Enclosed you will find my application form, academic transcript, letters of recommendation, and other pertinent information.

Again, thank you for your attention to all these matters and for your consideration of my application. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,

Your name

Tip #3 - ANSWER THE “MAIL”
While this seems obvious, you must construct your application to make it EASY for the committee to see that you have provided everything that was required. Provide items in the order that they are listed in the application. You can add extra items that were not requested to give your application that something extra. However, DO NOT add extra items if you are specifically told not to add anything extra. This means that you are not follow instructions if you add items when your are forbidden to do so.

Tip #4 - ADD EXTRA ITEMS TO YOUR APPLICATION (if not forbidden).
This is where you get to be creative to find ways and things that present you in a positive light to the selection committee. Here are a few ideas to get you started:

1. Write a short essay on MY EDUCATION/CAREER GOALS. Try to keep to one page.
2. If you have any documentation congratulating you on being in the top 10% of your class, include it because it puts you in a “positive light” and your hard work at your academics was recognized.
3. One of the best extra items is a letter of acceptance for admission to “any” college. If the scholarship application is not for a specific college, you will be able to use the award at “any” college. Later you can get more college acceptance letters and when your make your selection you can notify the scholarship award committee of where to send the award. Therefore, any letter of acceptance shows that your are serious but it does not “lock” you into using the award at that college.

Limit your extras to three or four at the most. Again, MAKE SURE you are not forbidden to add extra items before you do so.

Tip #5 - PERSONALIZE LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION
This is a tip that conveys you took the time to make this application special. When you have a letter of recommendation addressed to the specific organisation or person that is administering the application process it says that you took the time and effort to make this letter “Special” for them. If all you have is a letter that starts “To Whom It May Concern”, it is better than nothing. But if you can personalize the letter it says you cared to send the very best.

TIP #6 - PROOF READ ALL MATERIALS. NEATNESS IS A MUST.
When you write anything you must use correct grammar and spelling. If you have a problem in this area ask your English teacher to help you with proofreading your essay, cover letter, extra items you have included, and even letters of recommendation prepared by others. When there are hundreds or thousands of applications to review, correctness and neatness become the first screen out factor.

TIP # 7 - SUBMIT YOUR APPLICATION IN A CLEAR PLASTIC FOLDER
Now that your application is complete, the final “presentation” tip is to place all of your items in a clear plastic folder, with a slide locking binder. The cheap clear ones are good so that your “Thank You Cover Letter” (Tip #2) is on top. For that final “touch” include a wallet size picture of you in the lower left side of your packet. The next item/s in you application packet are those required in the application (Tip #3 Answer the mail). Next, any extra items (if not forbidden) and finally any letter(s) of recommendations. Your application packet is a great looking presentation of YOU, don’t mess it up by folding it to fit a small envelope. Consider sending it “Return Receipt Requested” so you know it arrived!

Frenzy Mountain - The Promise

“How are you, Patrick?” asked Joseph. “We rushed here immediately soon after your mother told us that you are terribly sick!”

“I don’t know what happened to me. I suddenly blacked out right after I told my mum what happen back then during last month’s mountain climbing,” replied Patrick. “Perhaps what the pixie said was right.”

“What?! You told your mum what happened at Frenzy Mountain? What did she said?” asked Peter anxiously while closing the room’s door.

Patrick explained to them that his mother didn’t believe any single word from him. His mother thought that it’s just one of his fantasies which he created normally. Patrick got a lot of fantasies all the time and that explained why his mother won’t believe what he said. Three of them settled down for a few minutes to think for a solution.

Patrick’s body got weaker and weaker when time went by. Joseph was very concerned about Patrick’s health and asked him to lie down on the bed to rest. After thinking calmly, Joseph came into a conclusion. “Well, if we don’t do anything about this, Patrick’s life might be in danger. Maybe this is what the pixie meant by the bad luck we’ll get if we tell someone about the incidence,” said Joseph with a solution. “Where is the yellow crystal that you’d kept? Perhaps we could activate the warp portal once again and seek for pixie’s help.”

Patrick pointed at his drawer next to his bed and Joseph went to take it. Joseph were terrified when he see the crystal ball’s colour faded out. Perhaps the crystal balls indicate the health of each of them. As Patrick was getting weaker, the crystal ball’s faded tremendously too. Joseph decided to help Patrick to recover to his normal health and asked Peter to join him too.

Joseph insisted Patrick to rest on the bed while he and Peter go to Frenzy Mountain to find that pixie for solution. Both Joseph and Peter lied to their parents that they’ll be fishing early next morning somewhere around Frenzy Mountain as an excuse to go there. They got readied for their food supplies, clothes and their crystal balls.

Both of them departed early that morning without hesitation. Upon reaching there, they rushed to the waterfall and tried to activate the warp using their crystal balls. It worked exactly like what they had planned. They jumped into the warp point without thinking of the consequences.

“Welcome back! It’s a surprise to see both of you again,” greeted gracefully the pixie. “Where is Patrick? Why didn’t he come together with both of you?”

Joseph explained everything to the pixie regretfully about Patrick incident and asked for help and mercy. However, pixie rejected their request and tried to fly away.

“Hold up! We’ll do anything that we could to save Patrick. We promise to follow what you say to help him!” halted Joseph. The pixie flew back and explained them the difficulties and risk to take in order to help Patrick. Joseph and Peter agreed to help Patrick by staking their own life without hesitation.

“Now, you all will have to gather me few items in order to save Patrick,” said the pixie while handing over the item list to Joseph. “All of the items listed can be found in the Forbidden Mansion, however, the Forbidden Mansion are said to be haunted and ruled by an unknown creature.”

Peter was trembled when he heard of the word “haunted” and tried to retreat from the task. After calming down Peter, Joseph patted Peter’s back and promised him that everything will be alright as he was not alone in this task.

“Now, I’ll warp both of you to the Mansion’s entrance only as my power is limited. This magical box can come in handy when both of you are in danger. However, only open it when you really need help,” said the pixie while giving Peter the magical box.

The pixie then activated the portal, and both Joseph and Peter held hand in hand and jump into the portal after expressing their gratitude to the pixie.
