A couple of hours later, everyone else woke up. During their breakfast, Rosie also started to feel bad about her argument with Nicholas and stayed silent while the others conversed. In deep concern, George asked, "Rosie, love, are you okay? What are you thinking about?" She replied, "Well, I've been thinking about the argument me and my best friend had yesterday. I realized that I was foolish to let my own preferences in choosing which flowers we'd like get the better off of me. As a result, I forgot about respecting each other's tastes, and I'm scared that this might affect our friendship." George remarked, "I understand, darling. To be fair, I think you both forgot about that." Rosie replied, "You do?" George said, "Yes. Also, just because you and Nicholas got into an argument like that doesn't mean your friendship will weaken. The best thing that you can do is to apologize and promise to be better in respecting what he likes and vice versa." The Geordie twins and Zack agreed. Rosie responded, "Yeah. You're right, George. Thanks." He replied, "Anytime, love." Scruffy said, "I hate to burden you with bad news, but it looks like Nicholas was overcome with guilt that he left this note here and ran away." Rosie read the note and exclaimed, "Oh, no! This doesn't look good at all. I hope he'll just be fine." Buzzy replied, "I hope so, too. The poor chap." George added, "Indeed. Well, we will have to set off and find him!" Rosie replied, "Yep! Would you like to come with us?" Zack responded, "Certainly! We're ready for this." Timothy barked in agreement. Shortly after breakfast ended, they all got ready and began their search for Nicholas.

For most of the duration of 2015, my mother and I went on field trips and attended cultural seminars. In June of this year, we visited Vancouver, Canada. We stayed at the Gage Residences, which is located in the University of British Columbia. We explored the campus and city, visited a friend, and even rode the skytrain right up to the last stop. It was yet another fun trip for us. We also went back to Cebu in September. As a pre-birthday treat, my mother bought me tickets to see Rick Astley in concert when he visited my country. He's my favorite singer from the 80's. We had a blast during the concert, and my mother would scream, "Go Rick!" as he goofed around and joked onstage. This concert made her reminisce about her youth, too. After the concert, we traveled back to Singapore on my birthday, where she attended a Teaching of English as a Second Language seminar. We also continued our celebration there.

This is an article for my special friend, 80smusiclover1 (Kelly). This was a request specifically from her, so here it is.
You are a wonderful friend, and I am glad that we met. From the time we met, you have accepted me for who I am. You never judged me for any of my quirks. You have always been very kind. You've always shown concern for me and for my friends. If that's not what friendship is all about, then what is it about? I think you are a great example of what a friend should be. I count myself fortunate to have you as my friend. I know that sometimes the clouds get dark, but there is always a silver lining somewhere. If you cannot see it, I'll be there to point it out to you. You will never be alone. I am here for you, no matter what. You've always been here for me. Thank you for being here, and thank you for being you.
