“True Love”

2009-07-13T04:32:00.001-07:00

“How can you say that love is true?” This is a question that should be answered by those people who are in love. Well, not really in love but those who experienced love. Everybody felt this feeling: being loved and to love. There are many examples of love: love for the family, love for god, love for your best friend, love for the country, love for the fellowmen and love for the opposite sex. But, what is true love and how can you say that the love you’re feeling is real?

True love for me is understanding and sacrificial. Understanding to the point that whatever happens to the relationship of yours (either you quarrel or something like that), you are ready to listen to the explanation of your partner and be ready to forgive if he/she does mistakes. Real love doesn’t long for power, it doesn’t want to hurt, doesn’t want to punish for mistakes; it’s self-sacrificing and ready to forgive over and over again. But it’s wrong to think that true love is always a suffering, it only means that you take a person as he or she is and don’t expect the one you love to be perfect. One trusts another more than him/herself and feels ready to satisfy every little need of a partner. True love signifies the word “sacrifice”. It is not selfish but it makes sure that all things are at good system and though it hurts their feelings, they will do the right thing to do.

It’s said that two persons truly in love aren’t looking at each other but in the one direction. And this is rather reasonable because they don’t say nothing “this is yours and this is mine” and share everything: friends, enemies, interests, problems and etc. One has his/her own identity but sees him/herself only as a part of the other. Still real love is not a relationship of property. If you really love someone you may say “I belong to you” but always be ready to let go if it makes the person you love happy. True love isn’t supposed to blow your mind, yet it doesn’t tend to get and to possess – it’s a very special state of a soul. True love is a good experience! You’ll learn a lot from it!

“Blessing or Disaster?”

2009-07-13T03:44:00.000-07:00

Why sometimes our blessings seem a disaster for us? Well, the only reason for this is jealousy. People are not contented with what they have and what they are. They want more than what they possess and still crave for bigger blessings and opportunities to come. This result to the misfortunes and bad things that will happen to the blessed ones.

If a person is successful in life, having all the riches in the world, and live a better life than anyone else, then many people got jealous of him. They will plan to ruin the life of that successful person and they wanted to have those riches too. So, the blessings that were received were the cause of the misfortunes of the successful person. Many treats will be received and the blessings will cost his life.

We cannot avoid those people who are not contented and selfish. They will do anything to get the things they want that can harm the person who has it. So, for those blessed ones, learn to share you blessings so that those jealous people will be shy to do anything harmful for you. Don’t wait for your blessing to be a disaster.

“Pleasure from Misfortune”

2009-07-13T02:48:00.000-07:00

Why do some people derive pleasure from the misfortune of others? The most appropriate answer is jealousy. Most bad things happen due to jealousy and all people possess this trait. Every individual felt that jealousy inside of them, especially when they think that someone is better than they are, more beautiful than they were, and all of the things that people considered as a competition. It is a hymen nature that even possessed by most of humans, it should be stopped, because it’s not a right to be jealous of someone. God created us differently and unique from one another, resulting to different abilities and skills acquired by every human being.

Being happy about one’s misfortune is a bad side of human behavior that should be controlled and changed as soon as possible. For example, Venus (Greek Mythology) is jealous of Psyche’s beauty, hence she made a plan to ruin Psyche. She commanded her son Cupid to make Psyche fall in love with the most worthless creature on Earth, with a man who is a loser, a total waster, a reject, an utter tosspot and complete scumbag, in short, the ugliest man in the entire world. But because her son fell in love when he saw Psyche, the plan was not pursued. Then, Psyche did not trust Cupid and leave her. That’s when Venus came to action.

She had her revenge by giving Psyche many trials to do. She is very happy to see Psyche suffering from each task that she’s giving to Psyche. But every challenge is having the help of Cupid. She always win and being able to do the challenge given to her by the Goddess of Love and Beauty because of jealousy. But still she was able to give Psyche misfortunes and was happy to punish the mortal that was said to be more beautiful than her.

Background of the Study...

2009-01-14T02:46:00.000-08:00

In mathematics, a sequence is an ordered list of objects (or events). Like a set, it contains members (also called elements or terms), and the number of terms (possibly infinite) is called the length of the sequence. Unlike a set, order matters, and the exact same elements can appear multiple times at different positions in the sequence.
For example, (C, R, Y) is a sequence of letters that differs from (Y, C, R), as the ordering matters. Sequences can be finite, as in this example, or infinite, such as the sequence of all even positive integers (2, 4, 6,...).

In analysis, when talking about sequences, one will generally consider sequences of the form
(X1, X2, X3………) or (X0, X1, X2……….)
which is to say, infinite sequences of elements indexed by natural numbers.
It may be convenient to have the sequence start with an index different from 1 or 0. For example, the sequence defined by xn = 1/log(n) would be defined only for n ≥ 2. When talking about such infinite sequences, it is usually sufficient (and does not change much for most considerations) to assume that the members of the sequence are defined at least for all indices large enough, that is, greater than some given N.)
The most elementary type of sequences are numerical ones, that is, sequences of real or complex numbers. This type can be generalized to sequences of elements of some vector space. In analysis, the vector spaces considered are often function spaces. Even more generally, one can study sequences with elements in some topological space.

Character Building...

2009-01-11T02:44:00.000-08:00

I Made It, We Made It!

2008-12-01T01:31:00.000-08:00

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, nah.... Baby give it up, give it up... Baby give it up! This verse in the song "give it up" was frequently sang by the students who got the score of 47, 1 point to go to get exempted in the Periodic Test in Physics... Well, I'm not really interested in that policy until.... I got the score of 47! What?!!! Hayyy... I remembered myself praying a lot last night.. I even told my housemates to pray for me 'cause honestly, I really cannot understand the left- hand rule for motors and generators... It's so confusing! And when Physics time came... I'm so nervous.... I want to be exempted noh? Who doesn't want exemption? Maybe none...

After checking all the papers of the third year students, many arguments, "Pagpipilit", and so on came... . Our teacher told us that there's no more correction because she already checked it a lot of times... No more hope for us... How sad! The first one who passed was Karen, she got 48 points... The 47 batch were me, Shiela, Froiland, Pamela and 3 others... We're singing the verse in "Give it up" with matching dance step of Shiela... And then Question #51 came......, it's bonus! Yahoo.... Now we have the score 48 and we're exempted!... Thank God!... I made it, we made it!

November 1: Trick Or Treat?

2008-11-16T03:08:00.000-08:00

It's November 1...November 1 is the 305th day of the year (306th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. There are 60 days remaining until the end of the year.

All Saint's Day

Ecclesiasticus 44:1-10,13-14

Let us now sing the praises of famous men,
our ancestors in their generations.
The Lord apportioned to them great glory,
his majesty from the beginning.
There were those who ruled in their kingdoms,
and made a name for themselves by their valor;
those who gave counsel because they were intelligent;
those who spoke in prophetic oracles;
those who led the people by their counsels
and by their knowledge of the people's lore;
they were wise in their words of instruction;
those who composed musical tunes,
or put verses in writing;
rich men endowed with resources,
living peacefully in their homes--
all these were honored in their generations,
and were the pride of their times.
Some of them have left behind a name,
so that others declare their praise.
But of others there is no memory;
they have perished as though they had never existed;
they have become as though they had never been born,
they and their children after them.
But these also were godly men,
whose righteous deeds have not been forgotten;
Their offspring will continue forever,
and their glory will never be blotted out.
Their bodies are buried in peace,
but their name lives on generation after generation.

Psalm 149 Page 807, BCP
Cantate Domino
1
Hallelujah!Sing to the LORD a new song; *sing his praise in the congregation of the faithful.
2
Let Israel rejoice in his Maker; *let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
3
Let them praise his Name in the dance; *let them sing praise to him with timbrel and harp.
4
For the LORD takes pleasure in his people *and adorns the poor with victory.
5
Let the faithful rejoice in triumph; *let them be joyful on their beds.
6
Let the praises of God be in their throat *and a two-edged sword in their hand;
7
To wreak vengeance on the nations *and punishment on the peoples;
8
To bind their kings in chains *and their nobles with links of iron;
9
To inflict on them the judgment decreed; *this is glory for all his faithful people.Hallelujah!

Revelation 7:2-4,9-17
I saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun, having the seal of the living God, and he called with a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to damage earth and sea,saying, "Do not damage the earth or the sea or the trees, until we have marked the servants of our God with a seal on their foreheads."
And I heard the number of those who were sealed, one hundred forty-four thousand, sealed out of every tribe of the people of Israel.
After this I looked, and there was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, robed in white, with palm branches in their hands. They cried out in a loud voice, saying,
"Salvation belongs to our God who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb!" And all the angels stood around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God,singing,
"Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever! Amen.
"Then one of the elders addressed me, saying, "Who are these, robed in white, and where have they come from? "I said to him, "Sir, you are the one that knows. " Then he said to me, "These are they who have come out of the great ordeal; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
For this reason they are before the throne of God, and worship him day and night within his temple, and the one who is seated on the throne will shelter them. They will hunger no more, and thirst no more; the sun will not strike them, nor any scorching heat; for the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd, and he will guide them to springs of the water of life, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."

Matthew 5:1-12
When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain; and after he sat down, his disciples came to him. Then he began to speak, and taught them, saying:
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
"Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
"Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
"Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy.
"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.
"Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
"Blessed are you when people revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

November 1: Trick Or treat?

23rd Psalm For Students

2008-11-09T02:39:00.000-08:00

The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not flunk
He keepeth me from lying down when I should be studying
He leadeth me beside the water cooler for a study break
He restores my faith in study guides
He leads me to better study habits
For my grade's sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of borderline grades
I will not have a nervous breakdown
For thou art with me
My prayers and my friends, they comfort me.

Thou givest me the answer in the moment of blankness
Thou anointest my head with understanding
My test paper runneth over with questions I recognized.

Surely passing grades and flying colors shall follow me
All the days of my examination
And I shall not dwell in this exam hall forever!

Haaaayyyy... PT Time...
The tests are NOSEBLEED!

Semestral Break: It's Now or Never?

2008-11-02T01:30:00.000-07:00

Saturday; October 25, 2008

This is the first day going to the Semestral Break: A "Much Awaited Short Vacation" of the Students. Well, this past few days, I really need a lot of rest.... Hello? I'm so tired of everything... Our Intramurals 2008 just ended, followed by the District Meet which was held at our school and so on and so forth... This day I just rest but first we had our garderning (as usual!). After pulling the grasses in our garden, my housemates and I decided to REST AND EAT OUR MERIENDA... Hmmm... Yummy! Others were history!

Sunday; October 26, 2008

Second day of vacation? Yeah I think so... Well, it's just the same as the ordinary Sundays in my life... The only difference is we watched TV this Sunday (which is one of the rareliest thing to do). It's because our staff is not there and Ate Dory allowed us to watched I'm really very happy cause we used to watched only every Friday night and it is limited only. I also read books that interest me. I'm not thinking of school cause I want to enjoy. I watched up to sawa as in until the end of the programs in TV like Experience GMA; The Ghost Ship and The Reign of Fire. Haay!..

Monday; October 27, 2008

This is really the beginning of the Semestral Break and I think as the goes by I am enjoying it. Waking up late and doing a little things without worries makes me happy. How I wish it's always Sembreak... I'm loving it! This day we had our laundrying or washing of our clothes. I washed my clothes but not my uniform... (it's because we will not watch TV if we didn't do so...) We also had our meeting; Children's Council Meeting. We talked about our Fun Night for Friday evening... That is so exciting! we talked about our plans... I, being the vice president of the council should suggest and suggest which is very helpful in the planning... We end up dividing our tasks to each other... i'm very tired and exhausted... When I got home, I took a bath and eat and had our devotion and watched... It's a very tiring but happy day!

Tuesday; October 28, 2008

This day we are informed about the seminar on Character Building fo tomorrow until Friday! When I heard of it, I thought it's boring... imagine, we will have the seminar with the staffs and elders... It's like I don't want to attend anymore. Well, this day our housemother came back from 3-day leave, I think I will not be happy again... I like Ate Dory to be our staff... But that's life and I shoud face it... When she came back, as usual she got angry on me again(always?)... I'm the leader that day and I forgot my responsibility and besides we didn't know that we should plant the red plants at the "palibot" of the mango tree... We're thinking that the boys will put cement on that place... We didn't hear her said that the boys will not put cement on it so, she end up angry of us and saying things that I don't want to hear.... Haay.... Patience is badly needed! At night, 4 people came by and introduced as the resource person in the Character Building for tomorrow... We're not yet cleaning the Moriah, guest house, so we rushed to the place and clean as fast as we could... The boys, I mean guys are cute:)

Wednesday; October 29, 2008

It's the first day of our Character Building Seminar and it's all about giving facts and introductions; how is it made, who are the persons involved and many more. The 4 people named Ate Trisha, Kuya Johnny, Kuya Euclides and Kuya Kenneth are the character coaches. Ate Trisha is their head. First day is a little boring and somewhat factual... They are just giving us facts... Well, will I enjoy this seminar... I envy my classmates whose having trips anywhere they want to. Others are even having swimming, a trip to Star City and overnight to other classmates. But that's alright, I already knew right from the start that I will not be allowed and will NEVER been allowed to do such things... How dramatic! Well, we had a wonderful snack today! I love it! It all started in Registration. Then we had our Opening Program and the introduction of the participants. After that, Ate Juliet, one of the social worker in CMSP had the House Rules & Expectations Setting. At 10:45 A.M., Ate Tricia gave the CBP or Character Buiding Program-- It's Beginnings. It was followed by the CBP DSWD Guidelines. then we had our lunch break for only one hour... We don't have time to rest... I'm so sleepy!+_+ After lunch and a very short sleep, Ate Tricia had the Self- Awareness Session and the The Need For Character... After a while Kuya Euclides finally spoke and discussed about Building Character With Praise. Then at 3:30 P.M, Kuya Johnny discussed about the Character- Based Correction. He is so cool. He made us laugh eventhough it's kind of boring. I'm laughing and laughing while he is discussing. I just realized that I will enjoy this seminar. At night, we practiced for our talent in our Fun Night.... What a busy and tiring day!

Thursday, October 30, 2008

Second day of the seminar, huh? Well, I was kind of excited today cause they said that this day will be an interesting and exciting day cause there's no more discussion of facts like yesterday.... I'm so happy about it! We woke up at 6:30 in the mornig and we had our devotion. Then we cleaned our areas and we ate our breakfast. After that, I decided to take a bath... At 8:00, the buzzer rang and we are told to finally go to the Zion Hall... First thing to do there is to sign on the attendance... Hmmm... After that, Kuya Euclides had his testimony. I found out that he came from a broken family like me... He works hard and you know? He already have been to US for a seminar in Character Building... How lucky! Then, it was followed by the testimony of Kuya Kenneth who had a more tragic life than Kuya Euclides had. He was put to jail when he was 14 years old in the sin that he did not do... I'm touched with his story... Next testimony was heard from Kuya Johnny and had a tragic life... You know? He don't know his family. His family left him to someone and that someone turned out to be brutal to him.... He decided to leave and then a good- hearted person found him and brought him to DSWD. He was named Jonathan Santos there (that time he doesn't even know his name and age) and said to be five years old... It was November 3 then, so they decided that his birthday wil be the same date when he was brought to DSWD. Inspite of his story, he didn't loose hope but truly believe in God... I admire him for that braveness that he showed... Mabuhay ka Kuya Johnny!

After the testimonies, Ate Tricia discussed about Public Speaking. Then Kuya Euclides taught us the Memorization and Story telling Technique. He is so good in acting.... Then, at 11:00 AM, Kuya Johnny had the first Character Building Session Demonstration. Lunch Break followed after that. In the afternoon, we just have the continuation of the demonstration... They taught us new songs, memory works and definitions of the character qualities. At the end, they grouped us into 4 and they assigned different character qualities to be the return demonstration of the participants. We just practiced until 5:00.

Then at night, the Children's Council was called in the kitchen to help in preparing for the food on Friday for the Fun Night... I'm so tired upon finishing working on Tinapa for the Malabon...

Friday, October 31, 2008

It's the last day of our seminar. I don't know why but I don't want the sminar to end. I realized that I will miss them. Last night, I wrote letters to all of them and I told them what I feel. I hope that this seminar will be repeated... When I arrived at the Zion Hall, we are having the joyful singing. After that is the demonstration of the Character qualities. In our group the assigned topic to be discussed is Obedience. I am assigned to teach the Memory Work in our group. The others are Orderliness, Gratefulness and Self- Control. The first two discussant, Orderliness and Gratefulness group is very funny. You can really see the talents of those people who are shy before. I'm laughing and laughing... Thank God our topic is a success!

At the afternoon, we had the Center Plan Of Action. We planned for the next step in learning of the Character qualities. We should share our knowledge to the little ones and be a good example to them. At 3:00, we had the Closing Program and the facilitators gave us Certificates and Acknowledgement for those Character Qualities that we possess. I was awarded for Diligence. After that we had merienda together and they left... huhuhu+_+

After that, life's not over yet... Children's Council still have responsibility to do. We decided to clean the Zion Hall, where the Fun Night will be held. Lovely and I mopped the floor after we swept it. Then we helped in decorating the multi by helping putting the "baging" on the wall. The theme of our fun night is "Journey To Future Success", and guess what? I'm one of the Emcee. Yahoo! We had a parade inside the CMSP Compound first with our lights, Torch! I enjoyed being the Emcee of the program. But something happened: one of the children there, while having the Obstacle race did not notice a "tali" on her way. She is "napatid" and you know? she lost her tooth and "napingas ang kanyang labi"! She is so pitiful. As usual, the obstacle race has ended and we all decided to go home already because of what happened. All of us are sad about that. But that's because of her hardheadedness. Another lesson was learned from this experience!

Haaay... What a busy sembreak I had... The days are so fast that I did not even notice that it's already back to school time on Monday! All I can say is I had a busy and tiring Semestral Break. But when will this rest be pursued? Next week will be our PT days... Is it NOW or NEVER?

Red Macintosh Ruled the Sepak Takraw Girls Game

2008-10-19T03:53:00.001-07:00

Third day of Intramurals and as the days passed, it was more interesting to watched the games. Day 3 is the championship day so it is the time to know who's the over-all champion. Well the games got hotter and hotter.

Sepak Takraw girls another games with unusual players. Girls? Mmmm... Yeah... They are girls with a capability to hit a ball using the different parts of the body. This was usually played by boys and different exhibitions are shown in this type of game which is popular in our country. After defeating the Blue Vaio in the first game, Red Macintosh fought the Yellow Asus which are twice to beat. Although the players experienced sprain, especially Alpha Colocado, it did not become a hindrance to defeat the Sophomores and it serves as a good luck charm to the team. And of course the cheers of their teammates made the players fight hard in the game and became victorious. It ended up with shaking of hands, which symbolizes sportsmanship and Red Macintosh as declared the Champion of the game.

Go Red Macintosh!

Red Macintosh Smashed Green Acers in Basketball Girls

2008-10-19T03:18:00.000-07:00

Second day of Intramurals. The past days had been so rainy that's why students are praying for a good weather to come. I think their prayers had been answered cause it's been a sunny day at that time. Basketball for girls is not a common game in the country unlike in volleyball where boys and girls can play. Well, I think it's a good isea to have this kind of game, for a change. The first game was between the Juniors and the Freshmen. It's kinda awkward to see girls playing basketball but it's really fun watching. Girls turning into boys?... hehehe...

The players of the Red Macintosh are: Telmo, Vivo, dela Paz, Cuapiaco, Obillo, Resus, Permentilla, Riman, Miranda, Avilla and Bersamina. On the other hand, the players of the Green Acers are dela Paz, Diquit, Bencito, Cuarte, Tiongco and Dumaguing. Before the game, all of them are happily practicing.

The first point was got by the Juniors, as expected. It was followed and followed. You can see the cooperation of each team trying to get the ball to the other team and shoot it. With the hardworking and talented and intelligent team captain, the Red Macintosh did great in the game. It was a fun that the referree is always whistling because of the case "travelling". Each team cheered for their players and really gave their full sipport to the ones who are playing. The girls really did their best to win the game and in the end, The Red Macintosh won the game with the score of 34-8 in favor of Juniors. They are very happy and thankful to God.

Go go Juniors!

Red Macintosh Ruled Over the Cheerdance Competition

2008-10-19T02:41:00.000-07:00

It was the first day of the Intramurals and all students are so excited. The intramurals consists of four teams: the first year or the freshmen are the Green Acers, Sophomores (second year) called themselves Yellow Asus, Juniors (third year) group was named Red Macintosh and the last which are the Seniors (fourth year) has the team named Blue Vaio.

After some introductions given by the emcee, Mr. Ces, the teams finally presented theis prepared cheerdance. They had a random sampling first to know which tam will perform first. The first one who showed their skill was the freshmen (Green Acers). The youngest in the family of the CNSHS didn't want their team to loose that's why they did their best to show the older ones what they worth and what they can do. After the freshmen are the outrageous Juniors or the Red Macintosh. They did a lot of exhibitions and danced pretty good well. This was followed by the performance of he Seniors and they really did a great job on that cheerance. And the last one who performed are the Sophomores with a great performance.

All teams did very good in their routines and I think for the judges all are winners. But sill they need to choose he best among the rest. So after the break the result of the competition was announced. Green Acers got the fourth place, while the third place goes to Yellow Asus. There was a pause in annnouncing the second and first pace but in a period of time Blue Vaio and the Champion in the Cheerdance Competition are the Juniors or Red Macintosh. This serve as an inspiration to them to really compete well with the other year levels.

MAC--INT--OSH

MACINTOSH!

Nice Start Macintosh!

Keep up the Good Work!

The Person I Admired The Most!

2008-09-22T04:11:00.000-07:00

As I read the question number three, "Think about one person you most admire and who has influenced you in an important way. What are the qualities of this person? Explain how he/ she helped you make a significant way of life", the only person who entered in my mind is my mother. I admire her so much and I guess, she influenced me in an important way. She may not notice it but my mother taught me how to be independent, in a way that she didn't mean to teach but she is just being herself. When she brought me to CMSP, who is currently supporting me in my studies, I thought it was the end of the world. I already imagined not having my mother at my side, I feel so lonely and sad. I'm too young to be in that condition, being left alone in the place that is new in my sight, with people whom I didn't know. I was thinking that my mother don't love me anymore. I felt betrayed at that time... But... that was before... Now, I enjoyed staying in CMSP, having new friends, new brothers and sisters and even a new family. And that was because of my mother. Now, I learned to stand on my own. I can handle problems and solve puzzles of life. It was my mother who influenced me to not to rely on others but do the same to yourself. She had been so independent since my father left us. She really did everything that she can do to raise her children. She is also have this trait: Courage. She is never been weak. She is always strong and never give up in problems and trials of life. I became strong because of her and have this determination to carry on trials God has given me. As I looked and examined myself, I realized that I was strong over the years that passed... I realized that I passed the trials of life because of the help of my mother. I already know and realized that she brought me to CMSP cause she want me to have good life and good future that is really happening now. She is the person whom I admired the most. Thank you Mama and God Bless you. I love You.

2008-09-12T21:54:00.000-07:00

Hay!... Another year had passed and now it's time to meet our Japanese friends
whose one of our supporters! I really missed them!
September 6-7, that's the time that we'll be seeing each other...
I guess we will play, roam and laugh together again...
We enjoy each others' company!

Though we live afar, it's not a hindrance for our friendship!
They are truly our bestfriends cause we can see that they are
really concern to us, that they love us...
One more thing, language is not a blockage for us
to understand each other... They are even studying
tagalog before going to Philippines!
Can you see how they love us?
I'm really touch in what they are showing and doing for all 0f us!

Saturday:

We spend the time together in SM Damariñas ...

In fairness, I enjoyed shopping and talking to them...
Eventhough others are already looking at us because of the
Japanese people that we are with, it's not a problem...
What important is we are enjoying the time!

I bought a skinny jeans...
It's so cute and the first time that I saw that,
I really liked it!
Others bought a pair of rubber shoes...
And others are history...

When we went back, we played and talk with each other...
Then we had our presentation!
Thank God they liked our presentation!
After that, we danced up to the max!
I'm so tired but very much happy!

Sunday:

I'm the liturgist!

I'm so nervous (as if it's the first time that I will be one)!
But you know, with the help of God, I able to fight
that feeling and what I felt is confidence!
But of course that feeling will not be easily removed...

After the Sunday Worship, we made accessories for our
other supporters in Japan... We really enjoyed that event!
Then we had the Sports Festival where we played and played to the
max! I even get wounded while running... But it's alright
what important is I enjoyed it so much!

After that, we ate our prizes...
Then we ate with them in the Visitor's area...
Then we mingle with them and others...
After that they had their presentation...
Next is our presentation...
I'm also nervous of the handsplay...
Tira, tira!

After that, we danced again to the max!
Then, BYE BYE time!
Huhuhu! I'm so sad!
I will miss them!

See you again next year!
Love you!

Field Trip sa Subic!

2008-09-12T19:19:00.000-07:00

I took this photo while traveling!

The first view in the Ocean Adventure! Isn't it amazing?

Is that a bird? What do you think?

Souvenir buying in the souvenir shop...

The crocodiles are so scary! They're very many and they looked hungry!

Pa cute... I think this one is taken during lunch!

The sea where the dolphins are showing up!
It's so cool and amazing!

Is this a stolen picture? Why am I not looking?

The owls... Very big and red eyes!

You look at the eagle!

This picture was taken while we are waiting in the Zoo Safari!

Picture picture! It's not obvious that we are wet!

Tiger feeding time! It's so scary!

The sea lions are doing their part as entertainers! They're so cute and intelligent! Their names are Simba and Madison...

Hey! The fishes are so cute!

Here's another one!

Ooopps.... What's that? Mmmm... That's our shoes! Hiks... Hiks... Hiks... This is before we watch the Dolphin Show! I really enjoyed it!

Who are this two girls? It's me and Jenny!

Hay!
I really enjoyed our field trip!
I guess I will not forget that I've been to such
wonderful place as Subic!
Thanks to Jenna who gave the opportunity for me
to be able to reach this lovely place!
Praise God for being a good provider!

I love you all@! ^_^

PTC... A Happy Day!

2008-08-31T02:42:00.000-07:00

Well, PTC or Parents-Teachers Conference is really a nerve-breaking moment... Imagine, the results of your hardworks (if you have) will be judged and will be shown to your parents... Haiz... I'm really very nervous cause I know that I really didn't study that much... Haller... I'm so lazy... I hate myself...

In the morning, regular classes are held... The PTC is in the afternoon... Hmm... I'm thinking of having failing grade, I want to cry!... Huhuhu^_^!... Gozh... Hehehe! After our class in the morning, I ate in Jenny's house... I wonder why I'm used to eat in their house... (Peace Jenny!)... I know that she is eading this... Hehehe! Love you!

Back to the topic, in English time, we just watch the movie "October Sky"... I think it's good and inspirational... Hmmm.... What else? In Filipino time, we had the discussion about the business letter and had some quiz.... Then after recess we didn't have Anal. Geom... Yehey! We just chat and sing and everything... We enjoyed sitting on the grass... I remembered Aaron when he jumped on the grass, when he looked at his shoes it's full of mud, it's white pa naman...I'm really laughing at that time... And Dei... she's telling something about Noli Me Tangere, while we are singing...

After that, our parents are already arriving including Ate Ely... Hmmm... Seeing her makes me shiver cause I'm very nervous... Maybe my grades are lower than 85...

When I came back from somewhere... I went to Ate Ely and looked at my grades... Do you know what my gades are? Hmmm.... it's high! Thank God... No lower than 85! Yehey! I will not say what my grades are... it's just for myself... If you want to know just ask me! Hehehe!

08-08-08, A Lucky Day for Me!

2008-08-10T03:29:00.000-07:00

August 8, 2008, 1 day before the field trip is just a usual day for me and my classmates... Well, it's a day with shortened periods because of the field trip tomorrow (August 9). Well, I' not included in that field trip cause I don't have money... Until filipino time came... Because Jenna is absent (excused), her mother came... She talked to Ma'am Tolentino first... Then when she went away Ma'am Tolentino told something to me... She told me that Jenna cannot join the field trip and they chose me to be the substitute! I'm very shocked and at the same time, amazed of what happened. Imagine, in our chemistry time I'm saying "It's my first time of not joining in the field trip" and also "maybe when I'm included in the field trip, I cannot sleep anymore!". Haller it's in subic kaya noh? It's very far! And besides the payment is really high. 1, 350 pesos? Where can I get that?

i'm really very thankful to Jenna and her family. They are very generous people. I still can't imagine how God works in my life cause in the first place I really didn't expect to join that field trip cause we really don't have money... God, it's so unexpected! When Ma'am Tolentino told me that, she told me to say thank you and you know due to my happiness, I ran with no slippers nor shoes to reach the mother of Jenna. I'm really lucky to be chosen! My feelings are mixed due to that... Do you see how God works? He's really powerful and generous... I really love Him! Thank you God! But of course I' also sad for Jenna cause she's sick... I'm hoping that she will get well soon! May God bless her and her family!

If Jenna is there, i think I already hugged her and thank her all my life! It's really a blessing from God! And I think it's also an advanced birthday gift from Him... guess when? It's really a lucky day for me but I just found out that it's 8-8-08 today! What a coincidence! I think I will remember this lucky day as long as I can remember things! :)

When There Was Me and You!

2008-08-03T03:55:00.000-07:00

(Vanessa Hudgens)

its funny when you find yourself
looking from the outside
i'm standing here but all i want is to be over there
why did i let myself believe miracles could happen
'cause now i have to pretend that
i don't really care

i thought you were my fairytale
a dream when i'm not sleepin'
a wish upon a star thats coming true
but everybody else could tell
that i confused my feelings with the truth
when there was me and you

i swore that i knew the melody that i hear you singing
and when you smiled you made me feel
like i could sing along
but then you went and changed the words now my heart is empty
i'm only left with used-to-be's
and once upon a song

now i know your not a fairytale
and dreams were meant for sleeping
and wishes on a star just don't come true
cause now even i can tell
that i confused my feelings with the truth
because i liked the view
when there was me and you

i can't believe that i could be so blind
it's like you were floating
while i was falling and i didn't mind

'cause I like the view...
I thought you felt it too
When there was me and you

Hay... One of my favorite songs...

I guess this week is a love week!

I just cannot tell you why...

Sorry!

Hehehe!...

Love lots,

Elaidia :)

Induction of Officers!

2008-07-27T03:02:00.000-07:00

Last Friday, July 25, 2008 was the induction of the officers... Well, Im not really an officer for clubs, Im just a member... I can say that Im not a part o that happening... but Im a follower right? So I should be there..

It was started that Liriko will sing the doxology... I'm a Liriko member now... Imagine? I think it's Gos plan that I will be one of the members of Liriko to share my talent... (secret only, I wasn't able to audition...) God is really good right?

After singing the doxology, Lupang Hinirang and CNSHS Hymn, the club presients had their dance number... It's good... hen induction has begun... All the club officers fall in line and stated he pledge something... then after that, we all went home... Oops... not yet, we had our lag reeat first that was led by the Math Club officers and members and I'm one of them but I didn't join them...

I forgot toinclude Obang, the gay who made me happy... It was told to meby Aaron and Shiela and he is very funny...

The Best Among The Rest!

2008-07-23T03:16:00.000-07:00

Eversince I was a child, my mother is the one who guided me up. She is the one who became a father to me and my siblings. Although my father left us, she never quitted to stand and fight for our family. That characteristic is what I adored most to my mother. She is always strong when there are storms of life that came. She is very brave to withstand difficulties and I'm very lucky cause she's not even saying bad words to us. She's very patient and always having a smile for everyone. One time she won the "Kalabasa Award" in our village for being so friendly. Well, I can say that mother is very kind. She is an open-handed person that many of our neighbors are always asking money from her(debt). If she have, she is willing to share it to others, but there's no more she is really explaining why. My mother is hardworking, no doubt about it. She's doing all the jobs that she can do as long as she is earning money and give us something to eat everyday. Through these characteristics that I observed from my mother (only at vacations), I can now say that She is the best among the rest!

Trace the Roots of My Family- Part I

2008-07-17T03:08:00.000-07:00

PT 1.1, Nosebleed!

2008-07-13T02:23:00.000-07:00

"It's been a long and winding journey, and I'm finally here tonight... Picking up the pieces and walking back into the night..."

This is one of my favorite song of all times... Angels Brought me Here... How I wish that angels truly brought me here especially when Periodic Tests are coming... One month of studying had pass... Now, it's your time to shine! (That is when you studied really very hard!).

How about me? Well, I am not studying during PT times... Boastful? Of course not! I'm praying to God, you know... But as the time passes, I realized that praying is not the only thing that you must do when judgement time came... like PT's... You should also study cause if you don't study, what will you answer in your testpaper? Nothing right? If you studied, God will help you to remember what you have study...It's good right?

I can say that Periodic Test 1.1 is really a nosebleed! Almost all of the test are hard and needed a critical thinking... Hehehe! I guess I will not pass any of it... but with God's mercy, I hope that I can Pass it!

I can do it! Go! Go! Go!....

Bye... Until next fall...

"We're all in this together!"...

What a Bible Study!

2008-07-06T03:26:00.000-07:00

One month of studying... One month of happiness and business...

I just can say that I'm tired of my life!

This week is a really busy week for me... More projects,

more reportings and harder assignments and lessons...

If I just can back out and return in the previous years of my life!

How dramatic!

Days are now going a little bit fast...

We are now cleaning in front of the Guidance Center.

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and then Thursday...

Filipino, Math, Adv. Statistics, Physics, English and then AP...

In AP, at first we had our quiz about the different

civilizations of Mesopotamia. After that, we are the reporters

take note, we are the last one to report...

The assigned civilization for us is the Hebrews...

Of course, when we hear about them, it pertains to

Bible, right? We reported... After reporting

Ma'am Evelyn told us to tell the story of Joseph... And

because I know that, I volunteered to tell it to the whole class...

I didn't expect that she will let me tell the whole story, as in the

very long one... Good thing the story is in my mind... Thank God

I can handle it... After Joseph, she asked us about Moses...

And because it's already out of time, she just told us to continue

it to the next meeting... OMG!

But the good thing is, I was able to share somethng to my

classmates, especially to those who dont read Bible and don't know

about any Bible story... Hehehe... At least, I made my

part as a reporter... But I think I need to read about Moses now!

Bye bye! See you next week!!!

Thanks for reading!

I love Myself, The Way I am!

2008-07-04T01:22:00.000-07:00

I just want to add my picture in my blog!

Hope you like it!

I love Myself the way I am!

Please give comments...

Representation of Myself!

2008-07-01T21:09:00.000-07:00

I represent myself as a rose, actually it has thorns.

That only means that even if you're beautiful, you still have

ugly characteristics that serves as hindrance to succeed, like the thorns...

The Purpose of My Existence in this World!

2008-07-01T03:33:00.000-07:00

Being a part of this world of ours is the most wonderful thing

that I may say... Well, I didn't expect to be born

in this world... Who knows, right?

God created us differently. That is, we have our own

characteristics and way of living our lives.

Enjoying life is not the only thing that we can do

as we are staying here on Earth.

We should all be significant and make our stay

a meaningful one or what all we can ask is

"What's our purpose?. Why are we here on Earth?"

As I am thinking of it, I realized that

I was born in this world to take some responsibilities.

Responsibilities that are very important in my life.

Not only for me, but especially for my family.

First to study very hard to have good grades.

Another purpose of living in this world is

to have a good job, good salary that will

be able for me to send my sister to school, as I

promised to my mother.

To serve as an inspiration to others (especially the

poor people) cause my life is full of challenges.

I will really do my best to achieve my goals

and dreams and to prove that poverty is not a

hindrance through success. It's serves as challenge

for us to continue strive hard until we succeed!

Live life to the fullest!

That's the purpose of my Existence.

As a continuation,I represent myself as a

rose with many thorns.

I am the rose, beautiful as it blooms but

became ugly as it decayes, just like me... Hehehe!

Thorns are the hindrances or the obstacles that I

face as I reach my dreams and make my future...

Week 3 of School!

2008-06-29T02:24:00.000-07:00

It's our third week of school and I realized that as the days passed, I'm enjoying being in Nitrogen now. The perceptions about them in the previous years are all gone instead I am beginning to like them. Nice!

This week is not that interesting week for me and I can say for all of us. Well, there are many projects to pass, many assignments to make and many more... It's a very busy week for me.

Tuesday, we had our flag raising ceremony that's why I really need to go to school very early... Moving fast is needed... when I arrived to school, my groupmates and I decided to clean (before the flag ceremony begin). We cleaned at the back of the Guidance Center. After cleaning a bit, the officers called for fall in... others was history... hehehe!!!

After the flag ceremony, we knew that we should be cleaning the inside part of the Guidance Center... What a...!!! We just go inside the GC snd apply floorwax on the floor... How unlucky! Good thing we just clean a bit... Well, after we cleaned, we were rushing to go to our room... Why? Beause it's AP time... Ma'am Nazareno is our teacher... Good thing, when we arrived she is helping us to clean our room. Thank God!

Every day is a very busy day for all of us... Altough that's the case we still had time to sing... sing and sing... all of the time! I guess Nitrogen had a bunch of singers... Hehehe!

Topics for this week are getting much harder especially in English! It's about the "infinitive phrase". Grabe, it's a very hard topic... Nosebleed! I think most of us hate that topic... well, I'm one of them! I just think of my grades... For God's sake!

But still there are topics that I love... I think I love our lesson in Chemistry as well as in Physics. I still remember our quiz in Chem and the funny terms that we weren't able to answer... like U-tube, rubber tubi, sampling bottle, etc... etc... It's about the laboratory equipments... precautionary directions and many more... In Physics, about waves...

I think I enjoyed the Week 3 of our school... I hope that every week will be as interesting and exciting week as for this week. More power and blessings for the one reading my blog! God bless us all!

Second Week of School: A Real Fun and Sadness Too!

2008-06-23T02:29:00.000-07:00

It's our second week of going to school. Of course my nervousness disappeared now. I can talk now with my classmates. I can mingle with them, but still there is the shyness to go with them and laugh with them all the time. I can say that this week there is improvement with my relationship with my classmates. I'm in the adjustment period.

This whole week is a real fun although I'm one of the cleaners in the room. Cleaning in the room is not a hard thing to do, but for me I am assigned in our CR. Our CR is dirty so we need to put muriatic acid. Last June 17 we decided to put muriatic acid in the bowl and in the floor. Because I'm scared that it will burn my skin, I asked my classmates who knows how to put muriatic acid. The one who volunteered is Karissa. She is very brave for me. What I'm doing is to cover her nose because the smell of the muriatic acid is very strong that it caused me headache. When it is already finished, Karissa felt something hot in her hand. She ran to the faucet outside and washed it. I just brought soap to her,. I'm very scared, I thought it burned her hand. thank God, it didn't. but still, her hand got red.

At Wednesday morning, I cleaned the CR. It's very dirty, color black. Ma'am Tolentino told me to scrub our drum in the CR cause it's really dirty. My uniform got dirty and then there's no water. OMG! I just asked Jenny and Karen to fetch water to clean the CR. Ordinary classes just past away and hard lessons are taught to us this week.

I remembered one time at Chemistry time, Ma'am Bisa is really very funny. She discussed about the impact of Chemistry our society and I really can't forget the one she said about grade one: "dikdik piga" and about the atomic bomb. I'm really laughing and laughing because of that.

At Friday, Ma'am Tolentino told us that she will not be our adviser anymore. I'm sad of course. I remembered the same happening last year when Ma'am Weng transfered also. I even cried because of Ma'am Weng. Why is that so? Ma'am de Vera is correct, in Science high school always expect for changes. As what they said: "Expect the unexpected". This week is a real fun and sadness too!

First Day High!

2008-06-15T02:07:00.000-07:00

It's our first day of school and I have mixed emotions. First of all, I'm nervous. Why? It's because I'm in the highest section now. I know my life will not be the same. I guess I will just study and study because there are many competitions in our room cause my classmates are all intelligent. I'm also sad because of the new environment. I missed my previous classmates and my second year life. But I'm happy cause I know that being in the highest section serves as challenge for me. And besides, I'm now here, why not try to be better, right? Bigger expectations are on me now that I'm on the highest section. "Tira, tira!"

As I arrived to school, nervousness appeared more to me. My heart beat fast as I went in our room. I just told to myself "Aja" which means "I can do this". When I arrived at our room, I cleaned in the front of the Guidance Center and in the Parking Lot. (I guess I arrived early). Then, the officers called us for the flag raising ceremony. The teachers led the flag ceremony. after that, we decided to continue in cleaning because we are not yet done. After sweeping, we went back to our room and had our regular classes. I guess my classmates are kind to me. Thank God!

Our first subject is Filipino. Ma'am Tolentino checked our requirements and then she told us to read a poem in the book. then after that she asked us some questions. then, she asked us if we know the somng "Ako'y Isang Pinoy", my classmates said I know it (which is true), so Ma'am told me to sing it. Then the whole class sang it. We also had some groupings and then we need to have a presentation on the next meeting and many more.

Our next subject is Math and we had a practice test. Our teacher in Math is Ma'am Rhea. She also checked the requirements and then she taught us about real numbers. Next to that is Advanced Statistics. Our teacher is Sir Mojica. He gave us one index card and told us to write the informations about us. He also had an introduction about Statistics.
Then, our next subject is Physics. Ma'am Jacqueline T. Ureta is our teacher. She also checked the subject requirements and had an introduction about energy. She told us about our Journal in Physics etc. etc...

After lunch, we had our English. Our teacher is Ma'am del Rosario. She told us to write in one-fourth sheet of paper the list of books in English III. Then she told us to pass it and then we need to introduce ourselves alphabetically. I didn't able to introduce myself cause I did not pass my one-fourth cause I was not able to bring my books with me. I just told her that I didn't bring my books and that I will pass it tomorrow.

After English, we had our Health. Our teacher is our Guidance Counselor. She also told us to write our names and told us to introduce ourselves. She also asked us "What do you expect in the subject MAPEH?", etc... etc... Next subject is Elective. We will decide if we will take Analytic Geometry or Zoology as the subject for Elective. I chose Analytic Geometry. In that subject, we just played. the play is about points and it is really very funny and interesting.

The last subject for the day is Chemistry. Our teacher is Ma'am Eliaquim O. Bisa. In Chemistry, Ma'am told us to get our quiz notebook and we had a quiz about Chemicals. And through that, the way I looked at chemicals became different. I thought of it as a harmful thing but it is not, I learned that our body is made up of chemicals. I relized how useful they are. Although I got low at our exam, what good is I learned something. Something that I can share with you who is reading this. And besides our score was not recorded. Hehehe!!!

First day of school is really a tiring day for me!!! But it's worth it!
