MY YOUTHFUL YEARS AS A COLLEGE STUDENT

I started my schooling early, that is why I am always the youngest to every school batch that I enter. Right now I am still on the same situation I am 17 and all of them reached their legal age and above. This doesn't stopped me from doing what I want and what I like. They always treat me as if we have the same age. This is the reason why I continue to learn a lot of things. It is not that hard to adjust with this kind of environment especially when you find the perfect circle of friends for you.

Yes I belong to studious type of persons not too much just moderate because I also love joining extra curricular activities. When a stepped the university as a college student a lot of things changed because when I was still in high school I still have doubts about the things that I can do but right now because of experience and motivation I always believe on things that I can do.

The most challenging part of being a college student is maintaining my grades for my scholarship, especially when I had a math subject before (thank God its the last math subject the I need to take) I need to spend the whole night for just one problem. I really hate math maybe its because I love words a lot of people say that If you are good in words or let's say English it is automatic that your weakness would be math but its amazing to know that other people can do good in both.

I am also starting to deal with the reality because of the things I learned and will learn for the preparation of my future.

ME AND MY TOMORROW

Diane an energetic, dynamic, high powered and spirited type of girl belongs to the class of persons that would almost die if there's nothing to do.She's committed to a lot of things such as attending training for dance sport, university radio station DJ, academic scholar and sometimes an English tutor online, such a busy person indeed, but Diane's training for dance sport and maintaining good grades are her major priorities. Fortunately, she will be representing the Philippines on December 15,2011 at the WDSF 2011 World cup and a consistent BYA scholar at AUF. A near to success situation. Just wonder how her life would be after 5 years? Does she need to choose between the two things that she both love dancing and the media industry?

                     

Diane is a kind of person that believes to what she thinks. Definitely she would be pursuing her dancing career because it is really her passion since she was a little child and together with pursuing what she needs to work in the media industry to make another dream come true and of course to support her own financial needs in dancing. Yes, this girl loves seeing herself being recognized and exposed to the public and it is always her dream to be at the center of the spotlight to inspire, amaze and motivate persons using her skills and knowledge and be able to impart these to her love ones and to all the people around her.

DIANE PAULA "The Making" (History of my name)

It was the dawn of December 27,1993 when  a perky, cunning, little girl was born, having her in the arms of her mother surrounded by smiles and laughter with an overwhelming love from her family. Everyone was so excited to know how would they be calling the baby. Then the woman said I want her to be called "DIANE PAULA", and yes it was me.

The name DIANE derived from an old Indo-European root meaning "heavenly divine" reaated to Zeus. The origin of the name Diane came from Diana who is the goddess of the moon, hunting, forests and childbirth. The name PAULA derived from the name of the 4th century Roman saint who was the companion of Saint Jero "Paulus".


Anyway let's go back to the story, my parents already knew what name should they give to me before I was born and my mom said that she got Diane from the gorgeous and famous princess Diana of Wales and decided to change the last letter "a" to "e" for a single word pronunciation. My dad is the one who suggested the name Paula, he said that he got it from an English film that he would be watching supposedly the day I was born and he decided to copy the name of the lead role actress. Then both of them agreed and said that DIANE PAULA is a great and unique combination.


I am very grateful that they gave me a wonderful name with no doubts and questions.

NO FEAR: I've conquered my Pteronophobia

Do you also fear something? How did you know that you are afraid of it? Why do people develop this fear into phobia? I personally know the feeling but, I really don't know where did I get it. Since I was a child I already had a fear of feathers and as I grew old I became curious about this fear and found out that my fear is called Pteronophobia.

When I was still a child and conscious enough to remember things happening around me, I remembered having goose bumps all over my body whenever any kind of bird's feather is near me. I feel my need to shout and scream like somebody's trying to massacre me. I wanted to cry but to realize that it was just a thing, a non moving object, and me, a human, moving and has strength, Its kind'a awkward.Yes, my parents also know about this, but they just let things happen. They thought that it would just be a part of my childhood fears; dragons, monsters, ghosts, ugly creatures. But they're completely wrong. I brought with me this fear until I grew as a teen. Unfortunately, I was still afraid of it.

My friends when I was in high school, who knows me a lot including my phobia, kept it as a secret to protect me from pranks of our classmates. One day the most hard headed among us and me had a misunderstanding and sadly, she used a feather to scare me and I had nothing to do but to cry, I am always the youngest in our class because I started schooling at 3 years old. After that I realized that she's not my true friend, because a friend will not use your weakness against you.

When i reached college, I know and I feel that I still have that fear with me. Last month we had celebrated culturals and I was one of the participants for the dance competition. When we are on the 2nd week of training, our choreographer showed a sketch of what we will wear for costume. I was shocked to see that we will be acting as birds!! Yes, birds and it means we have feathers from head to toe. I cannot back out and leave the dance group because I will be reported then to the office. From that day I conditioned my self and mind that i will be wearing such thing. 

The competition day comes...., I had no choice but to hold the props and wear my costume. I was surprised that I did it. I conquered my fear. I was able to perform well and be comfortable to all the steps that I will do. Actually it was a memorable performance because it was my 3rd year in the institution and that was the first time I joined the dance group to represent the college and it helped me to conquer my fear. Now, I am not just sure if I am still scared to birds and chicken. I don't want to test my courage right now, It just depends if its necessary :D
