My Family, My Hero



            

    
           Have you ever thought that your family is your hero?

           If yes, you’re absolutely right!

           You know why?
            
           Well, here it is: 

          Our family protects us. They are our guardian. And they do whatever that is they need to do to keep us safe and to ensure that we are happy. They only want to see us smile. Our parents sacrifice a lot for us. It is like, they are about to eat the last piece, but if we tell them we want another bite, they give that last piece to us. They give their all just to provide us a bright future.

           You must also know how special you are to your family. Each one of us should know that by heart. It is not what we do. And it is not what we have done. But it is all about who we are. My parents do not forget to tell us that whether we do good in school or misbehave, win a contest or lose, have high grades or get low scores in a test, they love us anyway.

            Our family knows who we are, inside and out. And yet they love us. So if you are reading this… Oh I mean, after you read this, go give each one of your family a great big hug and a kiss, too, like I did after I let Mama and Dada read my thoughts.

            And after that, sit back, relax and enjoy your family every minute of the day, as long as you are here. And do not forget to begin and end your day with “I LOVE YOU’s”.

Me After You, CMLI



            

            
            Before the CMLI Camp, I was not sure if I can do it. I was scared. I will do something I haven’t done in life, and one of them was being alone for five days, no parents, and no Mama always reminding me to fix my bed, fold my clothes, put my stuff in place or even brush my teeth.

            I was hiding in the shadows. Then I remembered something I have read somewhere, that life is a test. And I accepted the challenge. And I know it wasn’t easy to live by yourself, but you have to try. You just don’t know what could actually happen. Everything we do is a risk. And we have to be strong to take the risk. Or forever be regretful of not taking that big leap.

            Think of reality. Don’t expect that something wrong might happen. Mama always tells me that when you think that something might go wrong, it may actually go wrong. She calls it “self-fulfilling prophecy”. So I stopped worrying. Worry could kill you. It kills the fun. It kills whatever chance you could get to actually learn new stuff.

            Think instead of happy things like: You will learn new things, meet facilitators who will encourage us to explore, have new friends, and much much more. See! 


I know from the start that it will be hard and I might commit some mistakes, which I did. I lost my food stub and fave hat. I forgot my hair conditioner in the bath and was not able to join my last LitMus practice, but I learned from my mistakes. I think I will have a better shot of the future – future camps, I mean.

Last time, I was just an ordinary girl, but right now, after CMLI, I proudly represent a gist of who I really am – I am Gabrielle Yumi B. Josue, more independent, an adventurer, sort of a risk-taker, a CMLIer, confidently ME!

Adventure High Series. Book 2




Chapter1: Meet Again

“Hey remember me leader of Adventure High? It’s me, Ian and I’m here with my friends Penelope, Gabrielle and lastly Miguel. We’re here to go to the woods because our school announced a camping a while ago so right now we are packing our bags and let’s go wait our friends outside so they can get me. (Beep!)

“Ian come on we’re going to miss the bus!”

“Oops! Sorry guys. Need to go there so I can catch up bye”

“Hey Ian! So what’s up all summer and long-time no see? Have you seen Penelope and Gabrielle?”

“Oh hey Miguel! Uhmm no. I haven’t seen them come on. Let’s go check Penelope’s house.”

“Well, that sounds a great idea. Come on! We have 5 more minutes to catch up the bus.” 

“Oh hey boys! It is me Penelope. Did you miss me?”

“Of course we do!!!”

“Oh I really miss Gabrielle! Oh yeah! Speaking of, Gabrielle where is she?”

“I know. Let’s check the park because she loves spring and all things wonderful.” (Running to the streets)

“Is that her the one who is riding a bicycle because it looks like her?”

“Come on let’s check. Uhmm hello! Gabrielle is that you?”

“Oh hey, guys! Oh I totally miss you. Look, I have my very own pet puppy.”

“Oh hey there, Gabrielle! Oh cute little puppy! Oh I really like the flowers you picked and who is this girl beside you?”

“Oh her? She is Rayna. She is my cousin but the thing that she loves is camping so I brought her in.”

“Oooooohhh hey,  I am Rayna and I am totally in love with camping and last year I was the camp leader at school. I teach them how to survive. And when they succeed, they earn badges to represent their talents. So I brought some badges for our activities at camp. I also brought some marshmallows because they look and taste so good when we are camping. Oooh also fire crackers, my favourite!”

“Oh nice to meet you, Rayna. I am Ian, leader of Adventure High where we have adventures and solve cases.”



Chapter2: Camping Time!!!!!!!!!

“Okay, guys! So there, we all know each other and we are all here. Now it’s time to split up here in the woods and find a wishing well. Okay! Miguel and Penelope and Rayna go left while Gabrielle and I go right, understood?”

The 5 friends were wondering where to find a wishing well later on…

They bumped into each other and saw the well they need to be looking for.

“Uhmmm… Is that the well we all have been looking for?”

“Yep! That’s it Gabrielle. So guys, I hate to say this but JUMP!”

“Wait are you crazy ne-ne-never mind! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wait Gabrielle! Oh whatever! Wait for us! Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!”

The 5 friends have fallen down and dropped in different kinds of places like Gabrielle was stuck in a mirror while Miguel was stuck in a beach while Penelope was stuck in a book and Rayna was stuck in a forest and Ian was the one who need to save their lives.



Chapter 3: TeMMiE

“Uhmm hello! Miguel? Penelope? Rayna and Ian, someone in here? Oh no! Someone is coming.”

“Hoi  I’m  TeMMiE!”

“Um hey, um, what can I help you with?”

“TeMMiE is hungry. Come follow TeMMiE to TeMM shop TeMMiE will feed you and take good care of you. Do you want TeMMiE flakes?”

“Of course  I do. Just sad my friends aren’t here.”

“Gabrielle, that’s fine. You are also same as TeMMiE.  TeMMiE lost friends too. Come on! TeMMiE will cheer you up with some yummy TeMMiE flakes.”



Chapter 4: Nyan Cat

“Hello! Someone in here? Why am I stuck in this huge place where I can’t see anyone around me? Wait am I in a Nyan Cat world in a book?”

“Aaaaaaaahhhh! Hello there? Hi! I am Penelope and you are Nyan Cat, am I right?”

“Meow, it is I. Hi Penelope.”

“Oh my gosh! A talking Nyan Cat! I thought you only say NYAN!”

“Nope I only say Nyan in games but not here and nice meeting you. Do you need anything because me, I really need help from you.”

“Oh sure what do you need?”

“Well I am looking for my friend, TEMMiE. But I don’t know where she is and how to get out of here.”

“Oh okay. Ooh, I know. I’ll tell you where to go and where the directions are while you will be the one who is going to be my ride or transportation.”

“Okay. Where do I go from here?”

“Well, go left then right theeennnn… over and under, go up then don’t forget down and we get past the book, now we panic… Aaaaahhhhhh!!!!!!”



Chapter 5: Lucy the Surf Dog

“Wait am I in the beach? Awesome! But… Aaaaahhhh wait! Did I just see a dog surfing? I cannot believe I am seeing this right now!”

“Arghhh who are you? Well, my name is Lucy, the surfer dog and you are?...”

“Uhmmm… You can talk, too? Oh my gosh! A talking dog! This guy is amazing! By the way, I am Miguel. I love surfing, too and love dogs. Can you help me find my friends? I am really lost right now. All that I can just remember is falling from the sky.”

“Oh, okay. Wait! I know what to do next. Let’s go to the river where you can wish and it will easily come true.”

So the two of them went to the river and after making a wish, they spawned beside Ian.

“Miguel and a dog?!! Really, now? Where have you been? Did you see Gabrielle?”

“Hi Penelope and Nyan Cat and Ian! Nope! I haven’t seen her when we were falling from the sky and the last time she told me was: Aaahhh and I answered back: Aaaahh! Then we both panicked.”  

“Aaaaahhhhhh! Oh! Hey guys! Wait. Where is Gabrielle?”

“Oh hey, Rayna! We don’t know where Gabrielle is but I thought she was with you.”

“Wait if I am not with Gabrielle then where is she? Come on guys! Let’s look for her.”



Chapter 6: Riding a Box to a Rainbow

Meanwhile…

“OH thanks, TeMMiE for the flakes you gave me. Now I am so full so where are we going?”

“TeMMiE will try to bring you back to your friends.  You need to ride my box and I also ride. Then we say the magic word: TeMMiE!”

So the two of them rode the box and went to a rainbow pathway to the friends of Gabrielle. And they were spawned on a tree and saw Gabrielle’s friends but they did not see her yelling and calling them…

But then…

“Wait did you hear something?”

“Um nope! I can’t hear anything. Wait I hear someone calling for help.”

“Yeah me too. I think that is Gabrielle. Wait! Gabrielle is that you?”

“Yes and I am stuck on a tree inside of a box with TeMMiE.”

“Yup that is her!”

“Just wait. We are going to get you with your friend there.”

So the friends helped Gabrielle and TeMMiE  get out of the tree and the box and went for a picnic.

“How is your adventure there?”

“Well kind of fun and we also rode a box so we can go to the rainbow pathway and TeMMiE fed me some TeMMiE  flakes and that was so yummy and it was the best flakes ever.”





Epilogue

“And that was our second adventure and  Adventure High was just written at school where my classmates and I were grouped into 4, I think, or 5, but my group was composed of Ian, Summer, Miguel and myself, Gabrielle. We were asked to write a story so I came up with this. We wrote it together and we enjoyed so I came up with a sequel of this and made it here inside of my house and that was the history of Adventure High. Hope you liked it and see you again next week for another exciting story or sequel of any of my short stories. I really do hope to publish one of my stories pretty soon…

Bye guys! Give a thumbs up for this, too. Thankee!

The Journal of The Three Sisters



Chapter 1: The Fight 
Once there were three sisters who ruled the kingdom. They were known as the most powerful magical sisters because they were holding the power of Friendship. 
The eldest one was Kristyana and the next one was Mal and the youngest one was Gabrielle. Kristyana was the one who is holding the power of loyalty and courage. Mal was holding the power of kindness and animals. Then Gabrielle was holding the power of nature and laughter. 
One night, their enemy Trixie was willing to fight the sisters again but she got help from her Trixie clones. The sisters brought their pets. Kristyana’s pet was a pegasus while Mal has a dragon and Gabrielle has a dog husky so she could ride it. She also had a help from her nature friends like the trees. Then they began fighting. 

Chapter 2: Retreat
           Then after all the Trixie clones were killed, the real Trixie retreated.

Chapter 3: The Journal 
The sisters were happy that they were again the ones who saved their kingdom and the fairy princess, Cadance, who guard their kingdom, gave them a Journal about their life and what they are doing when their enemies arrived and how they used their powers to represent their kingdom.


Chapter 4: Their Crowns
Their crowns represented the kingdom of Queen Sparkle and King Silver and a new baby named Crystal. The royal family was proudly represented by their daughters and the whole kingdom.

Chapter 5: The Royal Baby’s Room
The royal family was happy that there was a new member of their family and that is Princess Crystal. The girls were wondering of how they can design their baby sister’s room. So Mal placed a big crib while Gabrielle painted her room like a sky and her crib was on a cloud and a mobile made out of crystals and a swing, a slide and a car to play with on the background. The royal family invited all citizens to attend at the christening of Crystal. After the christening, it was night time and the three sisters were done singing to Crystal. 
Beyond their knowledge, one girl wearing a robe got baby Crystal. 
The next morning…


Chapter 6: Trixie Has Revenge
The girls went to Crystal’s room and found out that their cutest baby sister was lost. 
“Someone is behind this one and that is the girl who always ruins our lives,” Gabrielle said, “Trixie”. The three girls shouted. 
The King and Queen were shocked that Trixie has returned so they let the gates, curtains, windows closed but the girls got out before they closed it.

Chapter 7: SAVE OUR SISTER!
The girls rode their pets and ran as fast as they can. They headed to the fairy well close to the magical garden. Gabrielle had a feeling that Trixie will go to that well, straight to the fairy world. So the girls fell one by one and they were spawned in the fairy place. 
“What just happened here? Where are all those fun games?” Mal said. 
The three girls saw fairyland being ruled by the evil enemies of the magical kingdom. 
“Let’s look for the rainbow pathway to my castle.” 
Gabrielle was worried because in real life she is a fairy princess who ruled the fairy kingdom. In the fairy world, only the fairy princess can defeat the enemies. 
The girls looked for the rainbow pathway where it leads to Gabrielle’s castle that is holding the elements of harmony or the stone power of friendship.


Chapter 8: Big Fight
The girls went in the castle and found Trixie holding two mirrors and a cage holding Crystal. 
Trixie captured Mal and Kristyana in her mirror. “Oh! What will you do now little girl? Defeat me? Oh, don’t tell me that you’ll deal with me, the one and only Trixie! Well, choose your sisters who will fall in the lava pool or your baby sister will die.” 
“My sisters!” Gabrielle shouted.
The two girls spawned beside Gabrielle and killed Trixie and caught their baby sister and went back to the magical kingdom.


Chapter 9: New Element
The royal family made a party for Gabrielle by saving their baby sister and there appeared a new element in the kingdom which was called the element of helping hand. Then Gabrielle made a speech.

Chapter 10: Speech
“I haven’t done this adventure by saving my baby sister without my sisters. Even though they didn’t help me by killing Trixie, we still worked together as sisters so we can finish this fight and to save our baby sister that is why I will name the new element as helping hand.” Gabrielle ended her speech with tears of joy and hugged her sisters tightly.


THE END is just the beginning…
