Day 3: About my Friends

"Your friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you."

The quote that I mention above exactly describe my friends.  I do have many friends. Friends from my hometown, my close friends in high school and college. They are always  there in times when I'm down and trouble or during my happy moments.

Below are my friends in high school until now:

We usually have our get together every January 1. We usually held it every January 1 so that we will not be going to have a chip-in for our food because its New Year's Day and most of my friends prepares food and they will just bring food at the beach. We also have our get together during our town parochial fiesta. 

As I went to college, I gained new friends. Whether you agree with me or not, the relationship between friends in high school and college is different. I am more open and comfortable sharing secrets with my high school friends than my college friends but I prefer travelling from different place with my college friends. 

We are not enemies, but friends.  We must not be enemies.  Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection.  The mystic cords of memory will swell when again touched as surely they will be by the better angels of our nature.

Day 2: The Meaning Behind my Name

My Real name is Wilkin Felisilda Simo. You can call me will or kin for short. But you can also call me on my first name. What's the meaning behind my name? Well I don't really have any idea what is the meaning of my name so I just search it on google and found out this article:

This name is of early medieval English origin, and is a patronymic form of "Wilkin", itself composed of Will, a short (diminutive) form of William, with the diminutive suffix "kin", the "s" of Wilkins meaning "son of Wilkin". The personal name William was introduced into England by the Normans in the Old Germanic form "Wilhelm" or "Wilelm", as well as the French "Guillaume". The name is composed of the elements "wil", meaning "will, desire" and "helm", helmet, protection. The name Wilkins is first recorded as a personal name in 1166, in the Northumberland Pipe Rolls, as "Wilechin". John Wilkins married Merget Martyn on April 15th 1541 at St. Michael Bassishaw, London, and on November 30th 1550, George Wilkins was christened at St. Andrew Hubbard, London. One John Wilkins and his wife appear as early settlers in the New World; they are listed as residents of "the Eastern Shore" in Virginia in February 1623. There are no less than fourteen Coats of Arms granted to this illustrious family. One of them is an ermine shield, on a black bend three silver martlets, and a gold canton charged with a red rose, the Crest being a black boar passant reguardant pierced through the shoulders with a silver arrow bendways, the boar biting the arrow. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Roger Wylkyns, which was dated 1327, in the "Subsidy Rolls of Staffordshire", during the reign of King Edward 11, known as "Edward of Caernafon", 1307 - 1327. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

I was so amaze on the name that was given to me. I really thought that it was a modern name but it was existed as early as 1166.

Fact 3:
During my high school years, I reached the top of Zion Prayer Mountain(A mountain that is located on my hometown). We don't have any intention to climb that mountain. I, together with my classmate decided to go to the peek of the mountain because it was very boring at that time. It was funny because we had our lunch on the peek of the mountain and we can't see any shade of a tree to take a rest. That is why while we were eating our lunch, it was very hot and we went down after we take our lunch. while we were on the top of the mountain we seen the view of Banay-banay(the next municipality after Lupon).


Fact 4:
When I was in college, I always transfer boarding house every semester. I really hate transferring boarding house every semester because I'm always doing an adjustment and having new people to be with and new environment to stay. On the other side of it, this help me to gain new friends and learn to socialize with other types of people.

Fact 5:
I am proud to be a Thetans. I'm a member of Theta Sigma Phi Fraternity. Some people don't believe me because I was a cry baby when I was young. But being a Thetans doesn't measure your strength but it measure your will to survive.
