December 27, 2018 – 8:51AM

It was a normal day with my family and the dogs. My eldest brother just typically playing video games in his room like he always do, with his dog Starbucks right beside him. My mother watching the television, as her dog, Bambi tries to compress herself to my mother's stomach. And the last dog, Costa just patiently staring at everyone in the living room as they mind their own businesses. Starbucks and Costa are senior dogs, which are aged 13-14 years. And Bambi, being the youngest at an age of 5, but the biggest of them all. My brother went down as the clock ticked at 11:00AM to feed the babies-- yes, we consider the dogs as the babies of the family. They had their own doggie bowls and as soon as their food was ready, they immediately ran and ate as if there's no tomorrow. A few hours later, Mom has noticed something. Starbucks didn't eat much like what she usually eats, and she keeps on vomitting. We were worried and didn't know what to do. We knew that it was because of her senior age, but we weren't ready for the possibilities that may happen today. My mother and brother went to take Starbucks to the vet, and as I wait for any results, I had to calm myself through writing a poem on my Tumblr blog. As I was halfway done, i heard a door closed, assuming it was them. Their back, and thankfully they came back with Starbucks. Though, they said that she started having Multi-organ failure, in which “it” can just happen anytime soon. I grew up with these babies and all i have ever wished for is to give them the home that they deserve, and to take care of their health and just consider us as, their family as well. That's all I ever wanted, but as I scroll through the pictures that we had with them, I realized how important and precious those memories are. As everyone calmly went to our own rooms, my brother saw Starbucks laying down in her bed, and sticking her tongue out. She felt weak and couldn't manage to stand up. We knew it was time, it was her time. Everyone stood up shaking, didn't know what to say. We were out of words as we couldn't take losing a family member, who was one of the reasons to make the family stronger. She fought hard, and did well. She lived a long life and we're beyond grateful to have her in the family. My father started to wrap Starbucks up in her favorite pink towel, along with out pink display flowers we had at home. Costa and Bambi kept on sniffing to Starbucks, begging her to wake up but little did they know they've lost a sister. As it took too long to fix her up, Bambi started to realize that her best friend was gone. Her elder sister was gone. She then started crying and trying to lick the pink towel, where Starbucks is. But she couldn't do anything, neither do we. As everyone took Starbucks to the Pet Cemetery, I stayed at home to comfort our two babies. Bambi kept crying, and didn't have any appetite, as for Costa he was waiting at the door, hoping that his best bud would come back as well. It was painful for everyone, especially for a family who had been attached to different animals, most especially the dogs. But despite the fact of being hurt, I had to be strong, I had to show them that all is well now and our little angel is safe from any disease. I know its going to be a tough ride once again, but I'm pretty sure that wherever we go, we are guided by our Little angel, Starbucks.

As I write this blog, I had several thoughts of becoming a writer, or even a journalist. You can never go wrong on whatever comes to your mind that you want to do, ever. It was a pleasant feeling to write something about the things I've encountered as  I grew up, and being able to share them with others. In every genre that I made, I made sure to not skip a single detail of what I have imagined, as I wanted to express every thought that I have through this feed. I encountered some difficulties in making those poetries, as I had a lot in mind but I didn't know how to express them in the way I wanted. The key in making the perfect piece, is to just be yourself. Make your imaginations real through words. Expressing my thoughts through making these genres made a big impact on my interests.

Based on what my thoughts are telling me right now, I would be happy to create and write more of these. I don't usually find the satisfication on what I am told to do, but surprisingly I am delighted to create more and actually start an actual blog for the world to see. I learned a lot throughout the discussions and I'd be glad to express more of my learnings to everyone. This is really something I will be looking forward to do whenever I have a free time, 'cause it can be a therapy for me as I get easily stressed, but also easily relaxed. Im looking forward to creating more as I grow and witness more about life, which can help me create more and enjoy every bit of it.

Sitting here right next to my journal

What's the next thing that could possibly happen,

if I weren't here at this place?

I had to bring out my phone

scroll through my feed

what's new? How are people persuaded by these social medias?

I didn't have anything to run to, but my journal

What could possibly happen, if I became one of them?

Would I be able to encounter the lovely breeze the wind

has offered today?

Answer is, no.

We are surrounded by these people who values their gadgets

than their relationships

Their timeline, than their surroundings.

What could possibly happen by tomorrow then?

The Garcia family consists of 4 family members, in which Lisa(mother), Jack(father), Lily(eldest), and Lucy(youngest), had to live near the shore. Ever since Lisa gave birth to her two loving daughters, a random lady appeared in their room while they were asleep and wished for the two daughters to live by the ocean every weekend, as they will be needing two princesses to rule the broken kingdom deep in the ocean, to take back what they've lost. And as they get back everything in the kingdom, the two girls are free to go back and live their normal life. Lisa didn't have any choice but to grant the random lady's wish, as they were threatened to be killed or live deep down the ocean forever.. Lisa and Jack applied for a job on the nearby town, and every time they they were away, Lily and Lucy would always come to the ocean and enjoy every bit of it. Little did they know, the ocean wasn't so safe for them and their family. One day, monday morning, the two girls went missing. Lisa and Jack came to find them only to see their daughters footprints on the sand, going to the shore. “It isn't saturday nor sunday, what's with out girls?” Jackmumbled to Lisa. Lisa shook her head and had to think of a way. They tried to contact and find the lady as well, but she is nowhere to be found. As for Lucy and Lily, they didn't know that they would be staying in the ocean, forever. The lady tricked them, all of them. They wanted to take the two girls and stay in the kingdom forever, as their personality and beauty, they believe, can attract more creatures to live in the kingdom.

Lisa wasn't, surprised, as she expected this to happen. Jack was lost, he didn't know what was going on. “I was one of them. But I was against that kingdom. Before we had met, my family and I were the ones who ruled ours. As years passed, the population of our kingdom increased, and left their old kingdom. I had no choice but to agree to the lady, as I thought that she wasn't one of them. But as Lucy and Lily grew, i then realized what the lady wanted..they want to take our girls forever and take back the population they've lost for years.” Lisa explained. Jack, again was out of words. They thought of a way on how to save their girls, Lisa was the only way. She had to talk to the lady to clear things up. As soon as she got down the ocean, she was shocked as they lady was their rival who only disguised as another lady. There, she saw her girls who were trapped on a giant clam, wanting to go back home. But Lisa had to finish things up with her rival. She had to convince her to move to their kingdom as it as more safer, and far away from danger-- from humans. The reason why they lost their population is a lot have been seeing these living things, as their kingdom is near to humans. Lisa's rival wasn't aware but she was so sure that she wanted to rule her own kingdom. Lisa silently hummed, and her family and servants came to save her daughters as the rival threatened to kill Lucy and Lily. They had to lock the rival on a safer place, and placed her near their kingdom, but far from everyone. Lucy and Lily couldn't explain the “trauma” that they've experienced, but were glad to know the truth about their family. As for Jack, he will always be surprised, but happy as they got their girls back. Lucy and Lily are know the princesses of their mother's kingdom, but they will still continue to have the normal life that they should have, and just go back to the ocean whenever they are needed to.

Finally, we had moved to Seattle. I didn't have any friends here, but I will definitely make one for today's first day in College! By the way, I'm Marceline and I write a lot about life. I wasn't able to see my long time friends before I leave NYC, but we sure do have a strong communication- thanks to social media! Im always eager to meet people, it makes my heart flutter! I don't have a dad, but I have a brother. We live with our mother. She inspired me to be the lady that I am today, and tomorrow for sure. “Celine, you're gonna be late!” and speaking of, I need to go now.

Its 8:09PM, won't miss out the chance of writing about this day. Of course, I made friends and they we're awesome! As I open the first page of my rose gold notebook, I saw it again. The first piece I made, it was about my father. He passed away due to cancer when we were born. I made this for him hoping that I could show it to him and tell him how much I loved him, but there will never be a single chance. It hurts not to have a father, but having a mother who can do both is more than enough. My mom experienced much worse than the situation of not having a father, and that is what inspired me. Nothing should stop you from facing your goals as we need to conquer everything in order to feel the “Happiness” we all deserved. And yes, My mother is Olivia, “that” successful entrepreneur everyone's been talking about. I will always be grateful.

Have you ever wondered how life is outside of earth? Or, have you even thought of the people you interact with, are they real? What happened to our planet, it never felt the same way as 2018. Hundreds of years had passed, but nothing seemed to change a bit. The change where safety isn't supposed to be demanded by us.

During 2018, huge decrease in the population has occurred around the globe, there wasn't a final statement about the reason behind, but one thing is for sure. People were forbidden to talk about it up until now. Humans, humans were the only rival of those outsiders of planet Earth. And so they invaded the world silently, as they disguised themselves as one of us. Friends and families who we thought was our loved ones, but isnt. People we look forward to meeting tomorrow, but just taken its life a few seconds later. What happened to Earth?

Year 2098, technology has evolved throughout the years as well as the invasion of those outsiders. Every place stands an outsider whose been securing every area, feels like real prison isn't it? WSA or World Space Association had come up to an idea of immigrating the human population to Mars. Ever since the 21st century, scientists had been researching for the resources that Mars have, as it could possibly be another planet for all living things. Through the use of higher technology, they were able to make an easier transportation that could carry 400 passengers all the way to Mars. Meanwhile, the outsiders on Earth were able to collect a lot of information about the planet and its humans, but weren't that ready to fully invade the planet. Which gave humans the chance to move to planet “M”. Some went out of Earth, but some stayed as they know it wasn't safe out there. Population of outsiders had increased to 1 billion, Earth didn't belong to humans anymore, it belonged to them. Today, July 4 2627, we have received couple of announcements from outsiders that our Earth won't be called as Earth anymore, but planet X. Which actually means that they have finally invaded our planet. Our Earth. For years and years we were hidden under grounds as there is only a 50% chance to come back alive. WSA thankfully made an hideout and they've been planning for hundreds of years about dispatching these outsiders. We couldn't live and stay under ground forever anyway. As for the people in Mars? Outsiders had discovered the immigration of people to THEIR old planet. You heard it right. Mars used to be their planet but due to insufficient resources, and severe shatter of Mars' environment, they've decided to move to Earth as it hasn't been severely destroyed at the moment. They wanted to take the opportunity of all these disasters and climate change that has been happening for several years, to take revenge on what they've lost and make planet Earth their home.

Who would've thought that our Earth we used to love has finally been sold to living things that didn't belong to our planet? Who would've thought that our neglectful traits would come to this kind of end?

Women will always be labeled as people who should be acting decent, working on least physical jobs, graceful in every movement, compassionate in everything and everyone, and all those ladylike traits. But it doesn’t work the same way with me. My name is Olivia, 35 years of age. Before I became this successful, I had to go through a long journey that no other women can actually do. I was a daughter, but the only daughter, 2nd youngest in the family.I had 6 brothers. Our mother left us when we were still a child as my Father had mental issues that extremely affected their relationship. Our youngest sibling went with our Mother so I had to deal with all 6 boys in the house. As I grew up, it wasn’t easy to act like a normal girl. I was taught by my mother to act graceful, yet I was taught by my father how to do and work like a man. I didn’t have a memorable childhood like any child had, since I was the only girl at home, all of them treated me as if I was a servant in the house, my Father would sometimes punish me without an acceptable reason. I never had any friends as well, as my father was scared to have anyone involved or know about our family. When I turned 18, I graduated high school and left home, far far away from home. I looked for a job that could help me earn for my college fees, I was a working student back then, and not to mention I once lived in a diverged place when I moved out, so I had to renovate it all by myself and make it a proper home. I tried various jobs where I could get any amount of money that would be enough for my bills, savings, necessities, and future expenditures. It wasn't easy being me, definitely not. I didn't have any contact with my father, but my mother had. My brothers would always contact me too, probably asking for money. I never gave up, I promised myself that whenever I come back I would make things right, to help my family. I started my own business when I was 21. There were a lot of instances that made me want to give up, but I didn't. I knew I deserved better than what I was taught back then, so I taught myself more about life. The reality of life. I got married at 26 and had 2 children. But my husband passed away due to lung cancer. I had to work even harder this time around, they would me to work like as if I didn't have any children, yet I raised them as if we didn't have any work. Years passed, I never gave up and continued being a Mother/Father to my children, a compassionate daughter to my parents, and suddenly became an Entrepreneur. Life is indeed, prejudiced to me. But it didn't stop me from learning what I need to do. All the hard work that I've done was payed off as all my dreams were finally falling into its proper place. My father was finally over with his mental issues, my brothers are now stable with their jobs, and my Mom is finally spending the rest of her life with someone. Point is, labels. Treatments, and experiences don't define what you could do in the future. Strive for the better, and better is definitely not enough to exaggerate the amount of happiness and blessings that I could eve receive. As of now, I could say that I am a manly woman, who is willing to continue the journey of life, as I know there's more to come than those EIGHTEEN years of hard work.
