My First Ferries Wheel Ride

 Fiesta is an annual event wherein people are gathered to celebrate. There is an abundant food and overflowing drinks. People from different places came to hear the mass and to celebrate with their relatives.

One of the attractions during fiesta is the ferries wheel. A ferries wheel is an amusement ride comprising a large upright wheel revolving on a fixed axis and having suspended seats. People (especially the children) are excited every time the ferries wheel is coming to town. They can only ride on a ferries wheel once a year during fiestas so the people grabs the opportunity to ride in a ferries wheel.

I remember my first ferries wheel ride way back when I was small. The night before the ride, I was very excited and I can hardly sleep. My sister said earlier that we are going to ride in a ferries wheel as long as I won’t be afraid and cry. I made a compromise with her so she bought tickets for us.

I saw people shouting every time they reached the top and suddenly I felt nervous too. After we enter and sat I told my sister that I don’t want to ride anymore because I am so afraid and nervous. My sister told me that I will surely miss the fun of riding in a ferries wheel.

As the ferries wheel started to turn, I felt relaxed and at the same time excited. As we reached the top, I saw the aerial view of our town. I felt like I was fling. My first ferries wheel ride is very memorable to me because with the help of my sister I overcome my fear.

 

Music As An Expression of Self

            Listening to music makes me calm and peaceful. I don’t have any particular favorite song but I like listening to mellow music. Music soothes me when I’m stressed, uplifts my spirit when I’m down and makes me more cheerful when I’m happy. Listening to music is also my way of escaping from reality.

I really admire the songwriters and composers for making such songs that could capture our moods. Whatever moods you have there’s always a corresponding song for you your mood. Composers must relate themselves to the feelings of others for them to write a song that we can relate to.  

Music can be an eye opener too. Sometimes we are not aware of the things that are happening around us until we heard someone singing a song that is relevant to some of our social problems. Who knows, maybe someday I can write the music of my life and share with you..
