Happy Fiesta Alcoy, Cebu.

It was a very awesome day with my friends. All throughout the hot and sweat pouring afternoon, I was with my great friends. They are Ascher, Alexa, Xandria, Zyra, Jaya Mae, Alyssa, Ramil, Neliza, Lady Di, Diana and of course, Tricia. These people made my day very unforgettable. There were lots of laughs that were wasted for us just to enjoy. Now, lemme narrate what happened. First, the twins let us take a ride on their car. Too bad, I wasn’t able to accompany them because my mom was waiting for me in the market. Hihihi. While I was eating my lunch in the market, my friends kept on calling me! "Where are you Sophia?" Eeek. So, I told my mom that we should hurry. Then, we rode a tricycle going home. I immediately changed my clothes then went off to Tricia’s house. They were damn annoying. Hahaha. They were pressuring me! “Asa naka Sophia? Hapit naka? Pagdali nah!” See? They must be very excited to see me. Wahaha. When I reached there, they were smiling and laughing at me. I don't know why! Maybe because I was wearing shades and I look so freakin gorgeous? Whaaat. Then, together with Alexa, Xandria and Ascher, we ate our lunch. Imagine, I ate my lunch for two times? I wasn't able to eat all of the foods I grabbed because my tummy is so already very full. I just drank water. I don't want to drink Coke also. Eeeek. The sad part is, there's no more Mango Float. Wahaha. Then after, we just chatted there. Sa may PAYAG nila. We talked about a lot of things. The main topic was Stephanie Romarate and her girlfriends. Sshhh. We laughed and was shocked to some stories that they have shared. There were stories that it was my very first time to know about it. You know, about the Boyd thing, I really wanna kill her because of what she did to Boyd. Urggh. Then, a few minutes, Stephanie and the HEARTS arrived at Tricia’s House. Obviously, we ignored them. DUH? Stephanie even murmured something that time. “As I thought!” That's what she blurted out. When 2:30 PM striked, we all went to the church. We bought candles and lit them up and we also kissed the saints there. We were damn good that time. Lol. Then, 3:00PM came and we walked back to MLhuiller to witness the Street Dancing. It was veery colorful. Then after, we decided to buy Ice Cream. Yaawaaa! The Ice Cream was really yuummy. The funny thing is, my spoon is flexible. Lol. Then Ashcer kept on laughing at me. Urgh. After we ate, walked to the Plaza again and there, we witnessed the colorful Siloy Festival.

When we reached the Plaza, the said program haven’t started yet. We just searched for a nice place to rest in. After a few minutes, the program started. We also saw Ramil. We called him then he accompanied us. Wahaha. There were lots of annoying speech from different people. First, the father of Siloy, Mr. Toni Plando. Then, the mayor, Mr. Nick Delos Santos. After, the special guest, Mr. Romarate. I forgot the name, sorry. Mr. Romarate’s speech was the longest. Until his speech arrived to Agriculture. Eeek. We just sat on the grasses and talked about nonesense things. We kept on fanning because it is so freakin hot. What surprised me is that Gov. Gwen Garcia didn’t attend the Siloy Festival. It think it was her first time not to attend the Siloy Festival. Then, after the long speeches, the program started and we all stood up.

The first performer was the AN High School, followed by Guiwang, then Nugas, then Poblacion and Atabay, then finally Pugalo. For me, the ANHS was boring. There is no Originality. It seems that they only copied the dance steps from Sinulog. Weeh. My bet was of course, Poblacion and Atabay. After they danced the One Cebu, the electricity disappeared. It was 10 minutes. For us to have more fun, we took pictures from Alyssa's camera and rested for a while. When the sun started to set, yun na bumalik yung kuryente. They danced the One Cebu again. We found a very nice place to stay in. Nandun lang kami, tawaaa ng tawaaa. The grand champion was of course the Poblacion and Atabay dancers. I am so proud of them. I almost cried because I was really happy. The second placer was Pugalo. We were still happy kasi our other close friend Hyacinth is from Pugalo. Then the third placer, the AN High School. Wahaha. We really pushed and pointed Ascher kasi di nanalo yung dating school niya. Bleh. Everytime the MC announce the winners, I would go jump and scream and bang my head. The children even silently said na Nababaliw na daw ako. I was just very happy. Ascher and Jaya kept pulling and pushing me and the others. Kaya ayun, we all rolled on the grass. We kept on laughing anf laughing. the very best part was during the FireWorks Display. Ascher kept on pushing everybody talaga. Tawaaa ng tawaaa. Walang katapusan. Though the FireWorks were awesome. Masakit naman yung neck ko sa kaka stare ng FireWorks. Indeed, it was very memorable. I wanna rewind my day. I WANT I WANT! I love my fuuriends who made me very happy today. I love them. I supeeer dupeeer love them. It was a MAJOR MAJOR succes.

Here were some of the pictures we took that day :">

Mirror mirror on the wall.

There she is again, standing in front of me. Its a moment of dead silence. The wind is cold. It is gently tangling her hair and mine as well. The distance between us seems to have no end. We seem miles apart, at least. She still seems out of reach. I seem to freeze as she’s gorgeously standing in my front, face to face with me. Her angelic face is definitely a soft beauty. Her image is vibrant and in her face lie a mysterious smile. She’s full of life, pureply high-spirited and an exciting one in her look. She’s classy but there’s goofiness in her. She’s even more attractive than anyone else in her lime velvet dress. It is made of silk, chiffon, satin and is carefully embellished with semiprecious stones. The drees perfectly fit her well-shaped body. I really haven’t seen anyone as stunningly attractive as she is. She’s striking, should i say. She must be a woman of many splendors.


Eye to eye, we are expressing ourselves. I can see her deepest emotions in her olive black eyes which are partly covered her silky hair with curls at the end. She bowed her head down and paused for a moment. I felt a great fear that she might burst out crying. She didn’t. She raised her head up a smile was painted on her face. I can recall the image of this girl years ago. She was then a little kid, a girl of many dreams. She has always dreamed of becoming a known lawyer. She thinks of getting into a prestigious courtroom, simply blinking an eye to the judge and wins the case. She’s hilarious. She used to play in the lawn of the house. There, she swan in a lake of mud. She even acted like a boy in her childhood. That may be where she got her goofiness. She was then a little girl who is excited of becoming an adult. She visualized herself talking to prominent people, doing deals with well known lawyers and discussing business with people in the business industry. Even in her early age, she knew exactly what was going to happen in the near future. She believed that life is what she makes it and its going to be in favor of her. This girl is a strong one. She is strong enough to sit beside her innermost weaknesses and converts them to strength. The word weak is never introduced to her vocabulary. She learned to be independent because she believes that this will be the port towards her ultimate success. I know she can do it.


Someday, she will graduate in a famous law school. She will be a top notcher. She’ll be admired for intelligence and beauty. There will be lots of popular law firms that offer her membership with them. She’s going to be the best lawyer. She who speaks eloquently and full of elegance yet she who cracks smart jokes, play crazy and feign funny. She speaks in unadulterated intention and speaks in all aspects. People will envy her, do her wrong and speak ill against her. Despite all these, she’ll still be a person of humility. Playful as she is, she will always ignore the hurtings, wear a smile and will tickle you with her inevitable sense of humor. That’s how she plays. She’ll always want your sweet smiles of great dimensions. She’s fully clean in her intensions. Her standing rule for herself is to believe in her dreams and fulfill them. Yes, she is ambitious. She is the girl who wants to play. She’s the lady who is just so unpredictable. She will be the woman who will prove the world that she could be somebody. She is my best friend, that girl in the mirror. That's me, and that's my life.

What is a friend.

What is a friend? Actually, there are lots of definition for the word Friend. Yes, each of us has its own belief of what true friends are. I may not have the capability to decribe it deepfully, but one definition striked me most.

A real friend is the one who Walks in when the rest of the world Walks out. Always thank God for having them because you might not find such good friends like them in your life anymore.

This is the best definition of what really true friends are, for me. Simply because, based on my own experiences, I strongly believe that friends are always there to help you in times of trouble or in times when you're so down.

I can really compare the true friends from the fake ones. It's obvious. They just didn't know how obvious they act so stupid in front of me. I am really curious of how they'll feel when they're just acting so fake in front of me, right? Yeah, i know you're curious too. Of course it's awkward. I know it's hard to talk or to bond with the people who dislike you. Well, im already imune of that system. I know a lot of haters around there. I just don't mind them. Someday, their insecurities will surely kill them, really.

Good thing i have these true friends that never pull me down. They were the one's who pulled me up when i was so down. Emotionally, Mentaly or Socialy. Hey, I'm not sure if their as true as the truth, but one thing's for sure, these gals love me so much. I know they do. I can feel it even if they don't tell me or express it to me in public. I know deep inside them that they appreciate the real Sophia. The Sophia that they first met in school. The Sophia that is funny, crazy and sometimes annoying. I know they enjoy my company, my guides and even my freaking and sometimes, corny jokes. Without them, my life would suck. Thank God i have these super duper ultra mega great Friends. I mean, MY TRUE FRIENDS. Capital letters because they are very important in my life just like how important a title is for a book.

When i was still studying in La Salle Academy in Iligan City, i didn't feel a spark that would tell me that i had already found my true friends. But there was none at all, really. Honestly, i feel that i don't actually fit to stay long in La Salle Academy. You know, when you hear these words, the first reaction would really be Wow, or Woah. Something like that. Hehehe. I am just a simple girl living in a very simple life. Not like other studs there, wherein they are close to perfection. I mean, they are rich, beautiful, and smart people. Now, look at me, i just don't belong in that school. Sigh.

Until i came to the situation wherein i need to leave La Salle, my dad and the whole Lanao Del Norte and continue my journey here in Cebu. My emotions were mixed when my mom told me about it. Happy, because finally, after 5 years, i'll be back in my beloved hometown. Sad, because i will leave my dad, my friends and my Alma Mater, La Salle. Frightened, because i still don't have the courage to mingle with new people, probably, to bond with strangers. It's just so awkward. Exactly, it was freaking hard to leave the people that i consider as friends and family there. But lately, i accepted the fact that God has better plans for me here in the queen city of the south, my birth place, Cebu. I am always ready to face trials and problems here in my new environment because i know, deep in me, that God is just there enlightening my spirit to be brave and courageous enough to face all kinds of misseries.



Honestly, I discovered my true friends in St. Mary's Academy in Dalaguete, Cebu. It might not be the most famous or the best school in the Philippines, but it has the best people that are either studying or working in it. These people are so accomodating and so hospitable. When i was still an alien in SMA, they really introduced the school to me without any doubts. That's why i am so lucky to be friends with them. My classmates say that they are the one's who are lucky to meet me because I'm a witty person. Im fun, im approachable and most especially, i am understanding. They say that I'm the kind of person that listens. Who gives them advices or guidelines about their life. I may not have lots of experiences but they gave their whole trust and they even seek advices from me. They are also kind because they share details about their life. Just like their secrets or private problems. With that, i am so overwhelmed that they appreciated me, Sophia Marie Benoloac Salas and, what kind of person I am outside and inside. I love my friends no matter what happens. Through storms and hurricanes, I am just here waiting for them to approach me. I am always here to listen, to advice and to love them. Indeed, they are lucky to have me as one of their friend, but I believe that I am luckier because I've met such magnificent creatures like them.

My Idol - A poem for my mom.

She is simple, she is humble.

She's a woman of great personality.

A woman gifted with elegance and bravery

And I idolized her truly and faithfully.

The woman I am talking about is Mom.

I really don't know what to do when she's gone.

Her name is Rose,

The woman I don't want to lose.

I may not be very brave like her,

But I can be very courageous when I am with her.

I am beautiful, she is beautiful

And I idolized her because she's simply wonderful.

I LOVE YOU MOMMY FOREVER AND EVER :D
