Know me more...
Hello, I’m Joy. I’m fifteen, tall and fair skinned. For me, my life is near to perfect, I have a lot of friends and we all get along and I have a family who cares for me. I am not the fly chick you see in malls and I like it that way, I want myself to be simple but elegant, I love it that way. My friends always remind me that I am beautiful and blessed, they never ever even once told me that I’m bland and a not-so-interesting kid. I’m always happy with them; we are just like soul sisters and brothers. I can’t say that we all have the same interests but we understand each other and we respect each other. Some of my friends likes performing, some studies but me I love playing the piano, fashion, creating looks and taking pictures of them. I have a passion for fashion. We even do amateur pictorials sometimes, they’re not professionally made but we enjoyed it. Since we’re talking fashion here, don’t you like Gucci? Oh, I adore Gucci and Armani, Valentino and many more. I would really love to have all of those super stuffs from those super designers and I also love to travel to fashion places like Milan and France. So, that’s all. Hope you find those interesting as I find those entire cool.

Below is an inspirational poem where you can pick good values that can improve every day's life.
Desiderata
-- written by Max Ehrmann in the 1920s --
Not "Found in Old St. Paul's Church"! -- see below
Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even to the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love,
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

A comradeship shattered…
The share of worth in this world is incomparable.
It isn’t by diverse thoughts where we compel our actions. Exaggerated opinions regurgitate my actions. My actions upon you produced a crevasse in our lives. I am genuinely remorseful about the situation we are in. It all started well, everything was on the right track. The smooth flow of everyday with you was incomparable. We were in the zenith of our friendship, no malice but just true comradeship. I was in regret to feel awkward with you, knowing that you tried hard to maintain this friendship from diminishing. I felt disgrace in myself; discerning the fact that the crowd could effortlessly move my decision in being comfortable with you. I miss the times where we could easily move without being perceived by the hideous judgment of others and do things normally to the eyes of the throng. It was then I realized that continuing this kind of kinship isn’t right to eyes of others. Their misjudged opinions ruined the friendship in us. The state we are now is a shock in the eyes, since before we were inseparable. I wondered if there would be a time where we could easily part our ways without being together. Well, look at us now, a lock in our eyes without being noticed by the swarm would be fortunate. I thought that the promise that we made would be kept towards the end. The pledge, that no matter how the blustery weather tries to shove us away we would be like a weed, a little bow would be made but still strong enough to withstand the break. But look at us at the moment; are we the weed we thought we are? Or are those just dead words meant to be played? As I reflect what has happened to us, I apprehended that we weren’t strong enough; we are without a doubt, swayed by the mob in front of us. Not one of us was ready to defend and contradict what the others say. I am remorseful to say this but the time has come to end this diminutive entertainment we are playing. I could truly attest that being with you was enjoyable. But in everything there is an ending. I’m distressed to say: that my dearly loved friend, as we carry on the different paths we take, I hope you didn’t regret meeting me in some way. I hope that memories that were treasured in our mentality would be cherished by you until the sun sets down on the west. If I could go back in time indisputably I would show everyone that our friendship was like a postulate, no one would doubt even without concrete evidence. But alas, the clock just rang, reminding us that time is up.
