Summer, a season of breeze. When you think about summer, you think about graduation or the heat.

But for me, summer is like any season. A mere part of time that passes away.

[Zen Stoia] is my name, it's a weird name for a male.

I was given this name by my parents for it means "to stand zen" or more precisely "stand up Zen".

We were originally from Britain but moved to the Philippines in my early childhood, truthfully. I have no feelings for my homecountry as I lived there for only a short period of time.

Moreover, Philippines is a country where the people tends to help one another at times. Your neighbors are usually friendly, but not really though. You can hear internal fighting within them sometimes, and it kind of gets creepy.

Speaking of which, karaoke is the most famous way of the people here to enjoy and communicate with one another. The people here tends to talk about stories, or occurrence while one is singing.

My parents also tends to join them, though I am slightly different. I tend to associate myself as one of those intrapersonal or a loner, I don't really get along with other people because of how I am a foreign to the country people, having a blonde hair and blue eyes makes me stand out like a sore thumb causing the people to be curious.

I've been trying to communicate with others slowly but surely, though.

*Bam*

"Zen, you should really sleep now. You still have classes tomorrow!" a blonde hair woman suddenly showed up in the door.

"Yes mom! I'll goto sleep now!" I replied, before turning off the lights and closing my eyes.
