Dear Maam Shella Paz

2009-08-30T06:58:00.000-07:00

hindi ako online sa Ym when the news spread pero nung biglang nag-IM sa akin si Mymy through my cellphone na "Maam Paz :((", bigla akong nabalot ng kaba, takot at pakiramdam na para bang may napakalaking mali na nangyari.

tinanong ko sya "Bakit, aong meorn kay maam paz", when she replied na "She drowned", bigla akong natulala sa harap ng phone ko, i didn't know how to react, a part of myself kept pushing the thought that Mymy is just joking; that such a thing could neven happen. but right then and there, the heavy feeling just kept becoming worse, there was a part of me saying that it is true pero Maam Paz was completely healthy and good noon lang Friday, nag-smile pa nga kami sa isa't isa, peru noong nag-si-sink in na sya, sabi ko sa sarili ko, wala na tayong magagawa kundi tagapin that it was her time.

People might be thinking, na hindi ko naman naging teacher si maam paz, totoo nga pero we came from the same elementary school, Bago Bantay Elem Sch, and that fact made her a big part of my Pisay life.

I still remembered the first time we got a formal kwentuhan session, una, nagtanungan kami about our experiences with Maam Nombre (grd 6 adviser), then she asked me to tell her how my second year life was. So yun, kinwento ko yung mga ewan stuff about Sir Guce, mga kawirdohan nya and peculiar things he do, tapos mga enjoyable / ewan-ewan na pinaggagagawa nya, tulag ng pagpapatayo sa silya kung mali sa recitation or yung "are there any gay cells" ni Micah and other enjoyable at experiences na sa pisay lang nangyari. during that time, she was laughing her heart out, and nahihiya ako dahil parang nilahad ko na yung buong second year life ko sa kanya pero was very proud and happy dahil napa-saya ko sya, yung tawa nya punong-puno ng honesty at tipo bang itinawa na nya lahat ng pwede nyang itawa. Often times nakakapag hi/hello kami sa corridors or very short chats like how are you, or ok ka lang ba or how was today, which was a big treat to me dahil wala namang kaming malaking connection with each other pero parang malaking parte kami ng buhay ng isa't isa.

Ngayon sa 'wala' na si Maam Shella Paz, one thing nga siguro na dapat nating matandaan is that maam paz was never ours, she was GOD's and GOD's alone, pinahiram lang naman sya ni LORD and that kung tutuusin, swerte lang natin dahil sa atin sya pinahiram. And now na binawi na sya, di nga dapat tayo magalit or malungkot dahil she is now in far better place compared dito sa mundong ginagalawan natin.

Some people say nothign about it pero kung titingnan ang huling post ni Maam Shelz sa Facebook "

dead-tired but singing and smiling to the tune of Glass of Water. Chris Martin!!! ♥

"

tapos ang comment

"Oh, sana naman nakapagpahinga ka na. >_<"

di ko alam kung bakit pero it really sent chills sa akin........nakakapangilabot. feeling ko nga noon, did she knew something was coming?

Alam nyo, sabi sa Bible at sa Purpose Driven Life, there is no untimely death, though a lot of us might say na ang bata pa naman ni maam, it was really just her time, yun nga lang, she was there when her time came and so that was her way of leaving us.

But what we all know is that kahit anong mangyari, her memories will be with us as long as we live.

You'll always be a part of our lives, Maam Paz!!

CHRISTmas Time Na Naman

2008-12-24T06:39:00.001-08:00

December 25 na naman therefore Pasko na naman, pero alam nga ba talaga natin ung bakit natin hinihintay ang panahong ito??

Kagabi, habang naglilipat ng channels ng TV, ang dami kong nakikitang mga movies na di umano ay ipinagdidiwang ang CHRISTmas pero, halos lahat ng mga nakita ko eh palabas tungkol kay Santa Claus, sa pamimigay ng regalo, sa kabaitan.......bla bla bla, oo maganda nga't naipapakita natin ang sense of giving and sharing your blessings and all that pero halos wala na yatang nagpapalabas ng nativity story, ang totoong rason kung bakit may Pasko.

Nakapagtataka rin kasi ngayon, parang takot na takot tayong sabihin ang pangalang Jesus o Hesus, sa mga palabas, sa mga commercial, ang sinasabi eh "Siyang ipinanganak sa sabsaban" o "Ang pinanganak sa unang Pasko", hindi ba natin ito masabi, ang pangalang ng nagligtas sa ating lahat. Wala lang kasi ang wierd, ang nasa utak na lang ng karamihan ng mga tao eh si Santa Claus, ang regalo ang mga mapamamaskohan, pero kaya nga tayo nagbibigayan ng regalo eh dahil si Lord mismo ang nagbigay sa atin ng isang napakalaking regalo......si Jesus nga pero kapag CHRISTmas eh iba ang nasa isip natin. Sana naman, bumalik sa puso't isip ng mga tao kung ano talaga ang totoong rason kung bakit tayo nagsasaya

EMMANUEL: Celebrating Heaven's Child

2008-12-06T05:52:00.000-08:00

Kaninang 3:00pm, pumunta kaming mag-ina sa GCF Church (Greenhills Christian Fellowship) sa likod ng Robinsons Ortigas, nanood kami ng Emmanuel: Celebrating Heaven's Child.

Nakakatuwa dahil ang gagaling ng mga solowista at nagkita ulit kami nina Ate Lilet at Hannah Mastalero, mga dating taga-FBC. Nakakatuwa't nakita ko si Ate Lilet na kumakanta. Ang galing nga kasi yung isang malaking CHRISTmas tree nila eh stage pala ng Chancel Choir. Basta, ang galing.

Nabalik rin nila sa puso ng mga nanood ang tunay na ibig sabihin ng CHRISTmas, kaya nga tayo nagkaroon ng gift giving dahil si Lord mismo ang nagbigay ng napakalaking regalo sa ating lahat, si Jesus Christ, kung wala ang regalong ito, eh di dapat, kinailangan pa nating isa-isang magbayad ng mga kasalanan natin, eh dahil si Jesus na ang namatay sa cross para sa ating lahat (AND THAT'S ONCE AND FOR ALL NA) (1peter 3 : 18a "For CHRIST died for our sins, once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring us to God."), matatamasa na natin ang Everlasting Life with Him kung tatanggapin lang natin si Jesus as our personal Lord and Savior.

This CHRISTmas season, mas mag-po-post pa ako about this topic..........yung lang

Read out loud the text inside the triangle below.

More than likely you said, "A bird in the bush," and........

if this IS what YOU said, then you failed to see that the word THE is repeated twice!

Sorry, look again.

Next, let's play with some words.

What do you see?

In black you can read the word GOOD, in white the word EVIL (inside each black letter is a white letter). It's all very physiological too, because it visualize the concept that good can't exist without evil (or the absence of good is evil ).

Now, what do you see?

You may not see it at first, but the white spaces read the word optical, the blue landscape reads the word illusion. Look again! Can you see why this painting is called an optical illusion?

What do you see here?

This one is quite tricky!

The word TEACH reflects as LEARN.

Last one.

What do you see?

You probably read the word ME in brown, but.......

when you look through ME

you will see YOU!

Do you need to look again?

Test Your Brain This is really cool. The second one is amazing so please read all the way though.

ALZHEIMERS' EYE TEST

Count every " F" in the following text:

FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTI
FIC STUDY COMBINED WITH
THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS...

(SEE BELOW)

HOW MANY ?

WRONG, THERE ARE 6 -- no joke.
READ IT AGAIN !
Really, go Back and Try to find the 6 F's before you scroll down.

The reasoning behind is further down.

The brain cannot process "OF".

Incredible or what? Go back and look again!!

Anyone who counts all 6 "F's" on the first go is a genius.

Three is normal, four is quite rare.

Send this to your friends.
It will drive them crazy.!
And keep them occupied
For several minutes..!

ACTS and STUFF

2008-11-27T04:30:00.001-08:00

Well, spiritually high na naman ang inyong lingkod, kasi kakatapos lang ng Cell Group namin kanina tapos ACTS pa right after. Nakakalungkot nga lang dahil hindi ako masyado nakikinig sa C.G. kasi inaantok ako (sori Ate Rose). Ang saya naman ng ACTS kanina kasi ang speacher eh si Kuya Dave, nakilala ko na sya dati sa Sibol Camp ng ISCF/IVCF. Ang topic nya kanina eh kung bakit sa kalah-lahatan ng mga taong pwedeng pagsabihan ng Good News eh shepherds pa....isipin mo, bakit hindi nalang yung mga priests, or scribes or elites diba?? yun pala dahil si Lord ay isang Good Sheperd din.......dahil kung iisipin natin, ang imahe ng mga shepherds noong Bible time eh mga taong hindi mapagkakatiwalaan at mga taong isa sa may mabababang social status sa lipunan. Pero, kahit ganoong sila, sila ang mga taong nakikita ng mga bagay na nangyayari sa paligid dahil ang iba'y masyadong busy......also, meron silang yung tinatawag na "A Shepherd's Heart".

Ang isang taong may Shepherd's Heart ay isang taong willing ibigay ang whole self nya para sa mga inaalagaan nyang ''sheep''. Sabi nga ni Kuya Dave, swerte nga tayo dahil si Jesus na ang sumalo ng lahat ng parusa, at dahil mercyful sya, pati enemeies at mga taong ayaw sa kanya ay disidido syang ma-reach-out, at dapat, ganun din tayo. Isa rin eh dapat, willing din tayong sumunod sa Kanya.

Basta, mahaba na ito, mahal na (bakit tawag ba ito)........inaantok na rin kasi ako eh.......bukas na lan......FAIR!!!!

Also, evangelism is not done by cornering a person and making God a fire exit for his sins, that person must be ablt to understand the real gift he has received. Sabi nga ni Ate, Christians must make God their way of life, as in si God mismo ang buhay mo.

sorry, pagod na kasi ako kaya maikli lang ito.

Pres. Elect. Barack Obama's Speech after Winning

2008-11-05T06:00:00.000-08:00

CHICAGO, Illinois (CNN) -- Sen. Barack Obama spoke at a rally in Grant Park in Chicago, Illinois, after winning the race for the White House Tuesday night. The following is an exact transcript of his speech.

Obama:

Hello, Chicago.

If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.

It's the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen, by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different, that their voices could be that difference.

It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled. Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of red states and blue states.

We are, and always will be, the United States of America.

It's the answer that led those who've been told for so long by so many to be cynical and fearful and doubtful about what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.

It's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this date in this election at this defining moment change has come to America.

A little bit earlier this evening, I received an extraordinarily gracious call from Sen. McCain.

Sen. McCain fought long and hard in this campaign. And he's fought even longer and harder for the country that he loves. He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine. We are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader.

I congratulate him; I congratulate Gov. Palin for all that they've achieved. And I look forward to working with them to renew this nation's promise in the months ahead.

I want to thank my partner in this journey, a man who campaigned from his heart, and spoke for the men and women he grew up with on the streets of Scranton and rode with on the train home to Delaware, the vice president-elect of the United States, Joe Biden.

And I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last 16 years the rock of our family, the love of my life, the nation's next first lady Michelle Obama.

Sasha and Malia I love you both more than you can imagine. And you have earned the new puppy that's coming with us to the new White House.

And while she's no longer with us, I know my grandmother's watching, along with the family that made me who I am. I miss them tonight. I know that my debt to them is beyond measure.

To my sister Maya, my sister Alma, all my other brothers and sisters, thank you so much for all the support that you've given me. I am grateful to them.

And to my campaign manager, David Plouffe, the unsung hero of this campaign, who built the best -- the best political campaign, I think, in the history of the United States of America.

To my chief strategist David Axelrod who's been a partner with me every step of the way.

To the best campaign team ever assembled in the history of politics you made this happen, and I am forever grateful for what you've sacrificed to get it done.

But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to. It belongs to you. It belongs to you.

I was never the likeliest candidate for this office. We didn't start with much money or many endorsements. Our campaign was not hatched in the halls of Washington. It began in the backyards of Des Moines and the living rooms of Concord and the front porches of Charleston. It was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give $5 and $10 and $20 to the cause.

It grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their generation's apathy who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep.

It drew strength from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on doors of perfect strangers, and from the millions of Americans who volunteered and organized and proved that more than two centuries later a government of the people, by the people, and for the people has not perished from the Earth.

This is your victory.

And I know you didn't do this just to win an election. And I know you didn't do it for me.

You did it because you understand the enormity of the task that lies ahead. For even as we celebrate tonight, we know the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetime -- two wars, a planet in peril, the worst financial crisis in a century.

Even as we stand here tonight, we know there are brave Americans waking up in the deserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan to risk their lives for us.

There are mothers and fathers who will lie awake after the children fall asleep and wonder how they'll make the mortgage or pay their doctors' bills or save enough for their child's college education.

There's new energy to harness, new jobs to be created, new schools to build, and threats to meet, alliances to repair.

The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even in one term. But, America, I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there.

I promise you, we as a people will get there.

There will be setbacks and false starts. There are many who won't agree with every decision or policy I make as president. And we know the government can't solve every problem.

But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face. I will listen to you, especially when we disagree. And, above all, I will ask you to join in the work of remaking this nation, the only way it's been done in America for 221 years -- block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand.

What began 21 months ago in the depths of winter cannot end on this autumn night.

This victory alone is not the change we seek. It is only the chance for us to make that change. And that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were.

It can't happen without you, without a new spirit of service, a new spirit of sacrifice.

So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism, of responsibility, where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves but each other.

Let us remember that, if this financial crisis taught us anything, it's that we cannot have a thriving Wall Street while Main Street suffers.

In this country, we rise or fall as one nation, as one people. Let's resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long.

Let's remember that it was a man from this state who first carried the banner of the Republican Party to the White House, a party founded on the values of self-reliance and individual liberty and national unity.

Those are values that we all share. And while the Democratic Party has won a great victory tonight, we do so with a measure of humility and determination to heal the divides that have held back our progress.

As Lincoln said to a nation far more divided than ours, we are not enemies but friends. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection.

And to those Americans whose support I have yet to earn, I may not have won your vote tonight, but I hear your voices. I need your help. And I will be your president, too.

And to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces, to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of the world, our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of American leadership is at hand.

To those -- to those who would tear the world down: We will defeat you. To those who seek peace and security: We support you. And to all those who have wondered if America's beacon still burns as bright: Tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity and unyielding hope.

That's the true genius of America: that America can change. Our union can be perfected. What we've already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow.

This election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations. But one that's on my mind tonight's about a woman who cast her ballot in Atlanta. She's a lot like the millions of others who stood in line to make their voice heard in this election except for one thing: Ann Nixon Cooper is 106 years old.

She was born just a generation past slavery; a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky; when someone like her couldn't vote for two reasons -- because she was a woman and because of the color of her skin.

And tonight, I think about all that she's seen throughout her century in America -- the heartache and the hope; the struggle and the progress; the times we were told that we can't, and the people who pressed on with that American creed: Yes we can.

At a time when women's voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed, she lived to see them stand up and speak out and reach for the ballot. Yes we can.

When there was despair in the dust bowl and depression across the land, she saw a nation conquer fear itself with a New Deal, new jobs, a new sense of common purpose. Yes we can.

When the bombs fell on our harbor and tyranny threatened the world, she was there to witness a generation rise to greatness and a democracy was saved. Yes we can.

She was there for the buses in Montgomery, the hoses in Birmingham, a bridge in Selma, and a preacher from Atlanta who told a people that "We Shall Overcome." Yes we can.

A man touched down on the moon, a wall came down in Berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination.

And this year, in this election, she touched her finger to a screen, and cast her vote, because after 106 years in America, through the best of times and the darkest of hours, she knows how America can change.

Yes we can.

America, we have come so far. We have seen so much. But there is so much more to do. So tonight, let us ask ourselves -- if our children should live to see the next century; if my daughters should be so lucky to live as long as Ann Nixon Cooper, what change will they see? What progress will we have made?

This is our chance to answer that call. This is our moment.

This is our time, to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth, that, out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope. And where we are met with cynicism and doubts and those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes, we can.

Thank you. God bless you. And may God bless the United States of America.

Why not believe in Him?

2008-10-30T21:30:00.000-07:00

*unang-una, "bato bato sa langit ang tamaan huwag magagalit"*

~~Isa itong reaction sa mga taong labis akong sinasaktan dahil sa kanilang mga sinasabi~~

Kaka-ACTS ko lang kanina at malaking syang tama sa akin......paano b nman, HONORING YOUR PARENTS ang usapan......eh tagilid ako sa bagay na yan pero grabe, nahimasmasan ako kanina.....basta, hindi lang kasi ako ganun ka-open sa parents ko. Anyways, 2nd ACTS Fellowship ko na at ang sarap talaga sa feeling, kahit sabihin mo ng late kang umuuwi at pagod ka, napaka-light ng feeling, yung tipong pwede nang mangyari ang lahat sa iyo kasi ang saya ng feeling. Yung alam mong may makaka-usap ka kapag may problema, may sandalan ka sa times of sadness, may ever ready friend at kung anu-ano pa.

Since birth, in-expose na ako ng parents ko sa church at sa gospel, kung di nga ako nagkamali, parating bible stories pa noon ang bedtime stories ko eh. Noong bata pa lamang ako, naging malaking part na ng buhay ko ang pagdarasal, pagpunta sa church, pagsali sa activities nito etc, nagkaroon din ako ng mraming kaibigan, kaya hindi sa akin alien ang Bible, ang evangelism and etc.

Naging super rooted ako sa faith ko dahil maraming pinagdaanan, pinagdadaanan at (sigurado akong) pagdadaanan pa ng pamilya ko. sabi nga ni Mymy (paraphrased version) "Matuwa ka pa kung tinetemp ka ng demonyo kasi ibig sabihin noon, malaki ang trust kay Lord at gusto ka nyang makuha [pero imposible yun, si Lord ang kalabanin nya eh], dahil kung wala, ibig sabihin noon, kasama mo na sya, friend mo na sya" ito ang isang statement ng friend ko na naging malaki ang tama sa akin.

Ang nakakapagtaka nga lang, kung magtatanong ka ng mga tao; sa mall, sa palengke, kahit sa kalye lang, kung naniniwala sila sa Diyos at kung may pananampalataya sila, 'Oo' ang sagot nila. Pero nung pumasok ako sa Pisay, may mga tao akong nakilala na either walang pinaniniwalaang religion or totally hindi naniniwala kay Lord, aethist ba? (Hindi na ako magbabanggit ng mga tao, pero alam kong kilala nyo kung sino kayo kung binabasa nyo ito) sa totoo lang, nasasaktan ako dahil tumatak sa akin ang kinwento sa akin dati, na kung mamamatay ka at during the time of Judgement, nakapatong sa ulo mo ang dugo ng mga taong malapit sa iyo na hindi mo na-share-an ng Word Of Christ, kaya kaming tatlo nina Mymy at Mirko, ay malaki ang kagustuhan sa ma-touch ang hearts ng buong batch at sana ng buong Pisay community, sabi nga, NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH THE HELP OF THE LORD.

Ang sa akin lang naman eh hindi ba nila naiisip kung bakit sila nakakagising bawat araw, kung bakit meron silang pagkain sa araw-araw, kung bakit sila nakapasok sa isang prestigious school tulad ng Pisay, kung bakit tayo biniyayaan ng katalinuhan. Ang akin kasi eh dapat lang nating gamitin ang ating God given talents and treasures for the greater glory of the Lord, isa lang ito sa maraming paraan para maipakita natin na tayo'y nagbibigay pugay sa Kanya. And besides, nasa Bible that we should glorify Him and evangalize. Para doon sa mga hindi naniniwala sa Bible dahil gawang tao lang daw ito at hindi perpekto ang tao therefore may mali o baka false ang Bible, ang sasabihin ko lang eh these people who translate and rewrite the Bible are filled with the Holy Spirit for the guidance of the Lord, yun nga lang, sabi sa "Something Nice To Read" kong post, it is our faith that binds us to the Lord or even the scientific facts. sabi nga sa akin noon, the Lord has a purpose for everyone and he even take us away from this world kahit isang pitik lang.

Nakakalungkot kasi at nakakatakot kung ang mga malalapit mong kaibigan ay hindi mo ma-share-an at hindi ma-accept si Jesus as their Lord and Saviour. Isipin mo lang, nandoon ka sa harap ng Panginoon at pagtingin mo nga sa sarili mo, may bahid ng dugo ang iyong puting damit ng dugo ng iyong mga kaibigan at patingin mo sa ibaba ay nandoon sila't sumisigaw kung bakit hindi mo sila nasabihan tungkol sa Magandang Balita ng Diyos. Yun ang inspiration, motivation ko sa kagustuhang ma-reach out ang aking mga kaibigan upang makilala si Jesus at magkaroon ng intimate relationship with Him.

Ang plano ko eh maging magandang testimony ang mga buahy namin upang mabuksan ang mga "mata ng mga puso" ng mga taong ito at malaman ang katotohanan.

Sorry kung sa tingin nyo'y hindi ko 'defend' o na 'prove' ang points ko, nasasayangan lang kasi ako sa mga taong ito at sa mga buhay nila kung hindi naman nila magagamit to the fullest.

Children These Days

2008-10-29T06:17:00.001-07:00

Kahapon, mga 10:00 pm na ng gabi, lumabas ako ng bahay para mag-pa-print ng lyrics for ACTS, tapos pagkapasok ng sa isang computer shop, ala eh, hindi mo aakalaing gabi na.....punong-puno parin sila ng bata......puro naglalaro ng RO, DotA, Flyff, MU etc. Bigla tuloy akong napa-isip, hindi ba hinahanap ng mga magulang nila ang mga batang ito? Tapos, mamayamaya, may batang sumigaw "Hoy! Laro tayo bukas, mga 6 ha!" noong una, akala ko 6 ng gabi...aba, after non, may sumagot "Bakit, hindi ka ba pwede ng Alas-cinco ng uamaga!?" aba, sigurado akong hindi ako nagkamali ng dinig...... wala na yata sa bukabularyo ng mga batang ito ang 'pagkain', ang 'pagtulog', 'pag-uwi'??

Siguro pwede ko pang maintindihan dahil SemBreak ng karamihan pero, dahil matagal na akong nagpiprint sa mga shops, kait umaga, tanghali o gabi man yan, maging weekday, sunday, monday, tuesday, today man o tomorrow, pare-pareho ang mga mukha ng mga batang nakikita kong nakaupo sa mga computer tables... nung tinanong ko ang caretaker ng shop, ala, saulado na nya kung sino ang mga parokyano nya, anong mukha, anong pangalan, at take note...kung sino ang magbabarkada, magkakapatid etc....pwede mo na nga syang pagawin ng "connection tree" dahil parang bahay na ng mga bata ang computer shop. Nung huling page na ang piniprint, biglang bumulyaw ang caretaker, "Hoy! Yung bata sa computer 9, mag-pipitong oras ka na!! mag-e-extend ka pa ba!?!?!" at ofcourse 'oo' ang sagot ng bata.

Ang iniisip ko lang, paano pa sila nakakapagaral?? Dati nga eh, dumadaan ako ng computer shop bago pumuntang Pisay kasi nag-papaprint, alas-sais noon ng umaga at punong puno kaagad ito ng mga estudyanteng naka-uniform pa.

Kawawa naman ang kanilang mga magulang na nagpapakahirap sa pag-tratrabaho para mabigyan ng baon ang kanilang mga anak, sinasayang ng mga batang ito ang chance nilang makapag-aral at mai-ahon ang kanilang mga pamilya sa kahirapan. At ngayon, winawaldas lamang nila ang pera na kung saan ibinuhos ng mga magulang ang kanilang dugo't pawis...sabi nga ng tatay ko "Hindi tayo tuma-tae ng pera kaya ingatan nyo yang ibinibigay namin sa inyo....OK lang naman kung ubusin nyo yan basta't SPEND WISELY".

Nasasabi ko ito dahil alam ko ang hirap na dinadanas ng ilang bata para lang pumasok kahit di man kita sa anyo ko....dati, kinaylangan kong pumasok kahit pwede na akong mahimatay sa lagnat dahil idinikdik sa utak ko ng mga magulang ako ang totoong gamit, advantage etc ng edukasyon. Dati rin, kinaylangan kong maglakad mula Pisay hanggang bahay namin sa Project 8 dahil naubos ko ang budget ko kahit di pa katapusan ng linggo. Naiukit sa utak ko ang kahalagahan ng budget dahil ang 1,500 na natatanggap ko buwan-buwan ay kung saan ako kuhukuha ng pambili ng school supplies, pamasahe, extra expenses etc at hanggat kaya ko, ayoko sanang humingi ng pera sa parents ko dahil mahirap talagang kumita ng pera.

Kaya't sana, mabasa ito ng marami pang tao...sana mga estudyante at ma-appriciate ang sakripisyo ng parents nila para lang makapasok sila sa paaraalan

The Song Is Alive by Point Of Grace

2008-10-26T07:49:00.000-07:00

THE SONG IS ALIVE

Can you hear the song moving on the wind
Calling us home, drawing us in
It's a wave of love that's melting all resistance
Can you feel it, when it starts
It's within the reach of our hearts
It'll change the world around us if we listen
It's the living, breathing message
Of the mercy of our God

(Chorus)
The song is alive
Stirring hope in the soul, don't you know
It's the heartbeat of life
Moving us with a love
That's never ever ever gonna die
The song is alive

It's pushing down walls, driving out doubt
No power on earth's gonna drown it out
And in the middle of the darkless night His voice will lead us
And the music plays on
When we start to sing the song
No nothing's gonna stop the faithful love of Jesus
It's the living, breathing message
Of the mercy of our God

(Repeat Chorus)

Welling up in us, a love beyond compare
Spilling from the lips of the believers everywhere

Don't you know, don't you know, don't you know
The song is alive
Don't you know, don't you know, don't you know

(Repeat Chorus)

It's pushing down walls, it's driving out doubt
Don't you know

Circle Of Friends by Point Of Grace

2008-10-25T09:05:00.000-07:00

dedicated to Mymy, TJ and MSK

CIRCLE OF FRIENDS

We were made to love and be loved
But the price this world demands will cost you far too much

I spent so many lonely years just trying to fit in
Now I've found a place in this circle of friends

(Chorus)
In a circle of friends we have one Father
In a circle of friends we share this prayer
That every orphaned soul will know
And all will enter in
To the shelter of this circle of friends

If you weep, I will weep with you
If you sing for joy the rest of us will lift our voices too
But no matter what you feel inside there's no need to pretend
That's the way it is in this circle of friends

(Chorus 2)
In a circle of friends we have one Father
In a circle of friends we share this prayer
That we'll gather together no matter how the highway bends
I will not lose this circle of friends

Among the nations, tribes and tongues we have sisters and brothers
And when we meet in heaven we will recognize each other

With joy so deep and love so sweet
Oh we'll celebrate these friends
And a life that never ends

(Chorus 3)
In this circle of friends we have one Father
In this circle of friends, we share this prayer
That will not be long before
All will enter in
To the shelter of this circle of friends

That it will not be long before
All will enter in
To the shelter of this circle of friends

Rain Down On Me by Point Of Grace

2008-10-25T04:04:00.000-07:00

Rain Down On

Showers of sadness flood my soul
In the dryness of my pain
I watch for the rainbow
When my heart turns gray
As I long for yesterday

I know that I need you
In the time that I stray
So I'll follow like night after day

(Chorus)
I need you to please pour down your light
For this is my life-line
I need you to rain down on me
The weather is fine when you rain on me
The weather is fine when you rain on me

The power of gladness takes control
When it's streaming from Your face
You vanish my sorrow
You wash it away
Like the sunlight in the rain

I know that I need You
In the time that I stray
So I'll follow like night after day

(Repeat Chorus)

Holy water falls as I lift my eyes
From my own fate
Then heaven flows straight through my
Spirit as it carries your embrace

(Repeat Chorus)

The weather is fine when you rain on me

Jesus Is by Point Of Grace

2008-10-25T03:41:00.000-07:00

JESUS IS

Speak a little softer so I can hear you
Above the noise, the noise, the noise in this world, yeah
You dont have to shout it for hearts to listen
Just be a still, small voice, and let the truth be heard

(chorus)
That jesus is
The way, the truth he is the light
For me, for you, for the world tonight
Our hope, the meaning of this life
Jesus is, jesus is
Jesus is, jesus is
Everybodys looking, but how will they find it
The road to happiness unless theyre told
That love is the answer to the ultimate question
But how will they understand unless they know

(chorus)

The way, the truth, he is the light
For me, for you, for the world tonight
Our hope, the meaning of this life
Jesus is, jesus is
Jesus is, jesus is
Jesus is

Gather At The River by Point Of Grace

2008-10-24T22:24:00.000-07:00

GATHER AT THE RIVER

Sometimes we don't see eye to eye
We don't agree, we don't know why
But Jesus prayed that we'd be one
So for the sake of God's own Son
Can we put away our differences
Lay down our pride
I think it's time we start turning the tide

(Chorus)
Shall we gather at the river of forgiveness
Come together at the waters of love
Flowing like a fountain from the Mercy Giver
Shall we gather at the river

We have all made enemies of
The ones we're called by Christ to love
But there's redemption at the riverside
The water's deep, the water's wide
It can wash away our bitterness
The current is strong
I think we've been out in the desert too long

(Repeat Chorus)

We can wade into the middle
Where the healing waters flow
It only takes a little
To heal a wounded soul
It will only bring us closer
Than we've ever been before
This is just what Jesus was praying for

(repeat chorus)

Steady On by Point Of Grace

2008-10-24T22:15:00.000-07:00

STEADY ON

Kicking up the dust, heaven or bust
We're headed for the promised land
Since the moment we believed, We've been eager to leave
Like a child tugging daddy's hand
May we never forget that patience is a virtue
Calm our anxious feet so faithful hands can serve you Lord

(Chorus)
We run up ahead, we lag behind you
It's hard to wait when heaven's on our mind
Teach our restless feet to walk beside you
Cause in our hearts we're already gone
Will you walk with us
Steady on

We want to walk awhile
We know that every mile is bringing us closer home
We want to tell the story
Of sinner bound for glory and turn to find we're not alone
When we walk in your light the lost will see you better
As the narrow road gets crowded lord won't you lead us...

(Repeat Chorus)

Steady me when the road of faith gets rocky
Oh ready me, for fears I cannot see
Lord won't you let me be a witness to your promise
Won't you steady me

(Repeat Chorus)

We run on up ahead, we lag behind you
It's hard to wait when heaven's on our minds
Teach our restless feet to walk beside you
'Cause in our hearts we're already gone

(Repeat Chorus)

Will you walk with us
Steady on...

Lead Me To The Cross

2008-10-24T20:35:00.000-07:00

A song My-my really likes

LEAD ME TO THE CROSS

Savior I come
Quiet my soul remember
Redemptions hill
Where Your blood was spilled
For my ransom
Everything I once held dear
I count it all as lost

Lead me to the cross
Where Your love poured out
Bring me to my knees
Lord I lay me down
Rid me of myself
I belong to You
Lead me, lead me to the cross

You were as I
Tempted and trialed
You are
The word became flesh
Bore my sin and death
Now you're risen

To your heart
To your heart
Lead me to your heart
Lead me to your heart

Mighty To Save

2008-10-24T18:44:00.000-07:00

Mighty To Save

Everyone needs compassion,
Love that's never failing;
Let mercy fall on me.

Everyone needs forgiveness,
The kindness of a Saviour;
The Hope of nations.

Saviour, He can move the mountains,
My God is Mighty to save,
He is Mighty to save.

Forever, Author of salvation,
He rose and conquered the grave,
Jesus conquered the grave.

So take me as You find me,
All my fears and failures,
Fill my life again.

I give my life to follow
Everything I believe in,
Now I surrender.

My Saviour, He can move the mountains,
My God is Mighty to save,
He is Mighty to save.
Forever, Author of salvation,
He rose and conquered the grave,
Jesus conquered the grave. (x2)

Shine your light and let the whole world see,
We're singing for the glory of the risen King...Jesus (x2)

My Saviour, He can move the mountains,
My God is Mighty to save,

Forever, Author of salvation,

Shine your light and let the whole world see,
We're singing for the glory of the risen King...Jesus. (x4)

Something Nice to Read

INTERESTING CONVERSATION

---> Something I took from MSK

An Atheist Professor of Philosophy speaks to his Class on the Problem Science has with GOD, the ALMIGHTY.

He asks one of his New Christian Students to stand and . . .

Professor : You are a Christian, aren't you, son ?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor : So you Believe in GOD ?
Student : Absolutely, sir.
Professor : Is GOD Good ?
Student : Sure.
Professor : Is GOD ALL - POWERFUL ?
Student : Yes.
Professor : My Brother died of Cancer even though he Prayed to GOD to Heal him.

Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill.

But GOD didn't.

How is this GOD good then? Hmm?

( Student is silent )

Professor : You can't answer, can you ?

Let's start again, Young Fella.

Is GOD Good?
Student : Yes.
Professor : Is Satan good ?
Student : No.
Professor : Where does Satan come from ?
Student : From . . . GOD . . .
Professor : That's right.

Tell me son, is there evil in this World?
Student : Yes.
Professor : Evil is everywhere, isn't it ?

And GOD did make everything. Correct?
Student : Yes.
Professor : So who created evil ?

(Student does not answer)

Professor : Is there Sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness?

All these terrible things exist in the World, don't they?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor : So, who Created them ?

( Student has no answer )

Professor : Science says you have 5 Senses you use to Identify and Observe the World around you.

Tell me, son . . . Have you ever Seen GOD?
Student : No, sir.
Professor : Tell us if you have ever Heard your GOD?
Student : No , sir.
Professor : Have you ever Felt your GOD, Tasted your GOD, Smelt your GOD? Have you ever had any Sensory Perception of GOD for that matter?
Student : No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.
Professor : Yet you still Believe in HIM?

Student : Yes.
Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your GOD doesn't exist.

What do you say to that, son?
Student : Nothing. I only have my Faith.
Professor : Yes, Faith. And that is the Problem Science has.
Student : Professor, is there such a thing as Heat?
Professor : Yes.
Student : And is there such a thing as Cold?
Professor : Yes.
Student : No sir. There isn't.

( The Lecture Theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events )

Student : Sir, you can have Lots of Heat, even More Heat, Superheat, Mega Heat, White Heat,

a Little Heat or No Heat.

But we don't have anything called Cold.

We can hit 458 Degrees below Zero which is No Heat, but we can't go any further after that.

There is no such thing as Cold.

Cold is only a Word we use to describe the Absence of Heat.

We cannot Measure Cold.

Heat is Energy.

Cold is Not the Opposite of Heat, sir, just the Absence of it.

( There is Pin - Drop Silence in the Lecture Theatre )

Student : What about Darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as Darkness?
Professor : Yes. What is Night if there isn't Darkness?
Student : You're wrong again, sir.

Darkness is the Absence of Something…

You can have Low Light, Normal Light, Bright Light, Flashing Light . . .

But if you have No Light constantly, you have nothing and its called Darkness, isn't it?

In reality, Darkness isn't.

If it is, were you would be able to make Darkness Darker, wouldn't you?
Professor : So what is the point you are making, Young Man ?
Student : Sir, my point is your Philosophical Premise is flawed.
Professor : Flawed ? Can you explain how?
Student : Sir, you are working on the Premise of Duality.

You argue there is Life and then there is Death, a Good GOD and a Bad GOD.

You are viewing the Concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure.

Sir, Science can't even explain a Thought.

It uses Electricity and Magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one.

To view Death as the Opposite of Life is to be ignorant of the fact that

Death cannot exist as a Substantive Thing.

Death is Not the Opposite of Life: just the Absence of it.

Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your Students that they evolved from a Monkey?
Professor : If you are referring to the Natural Evolutionary Process, yes, of course, I do.
Student : Have you ever observed Evolution with your own eyes, sir?

( The Professor shakes his head with a Smile, beginning to realize where the Argument is going )

Student : Since no one has ever observed the Process of Evolution at work and

Cannot even prove that this Process is an On - Going Endeavor,

Are you not teaching your Opinion, sir?

Are you not a Scientist but a Preacher?

( The Class is in Uproar )

Student : Is there anyone in the Class who has ever seen the Professor's Brain?

( The Class breaks out into Laughter )

Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's Brain, Felt it, touched or Smelt it? . . .

No one appears to have done so.

So, according to the Established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that

You have No Brain, sir.

With all due respect, sir, how do we then Trust your Lectures, sir?

(The Room is Silent. The Professor stares at the Student, his face unfathomable)

Professor : I guess you'll have to take them on Faith, son.
Student : That is it sir . . .

The Link between Man & GOD is FAITH.

That is all that Keeps Things Moving & Alive.

It turned out later that the student is Albert Einstein.

Crush

2008-10-23T08:07:00.000-07:00

Crush
by David Archuleta:

I hung up the phone tonight
Something happened for the first time deep inside
It was a rush, what a rush

'Cause the possibility
That you would ever feel the same way about me
It's just too much, just too much

Why do I keep running from the truth?
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized
And I've just got to know

Chorus:

Do you ever think when you're all alone
All that we can be, where this thing can go?
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it real or just another crush?
Do you catch a breath when I look at you?
Are you holding back like the way I do?
'Cause I'm trying and trying to walk away
But I know this crush ain't goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy
Goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy

Has it ever crossed your mind
When we're hanging, spending time girl, are we just friends?
Is there more, is there more?

See it's a chance we've gotta take
'Cause I believe that we can make this into something that will last
Last forever, forever

Chorus:

Do you ever think when you're all alone
All that we can be, where this thing can go?
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it real or just another crush?
Do you catch a breath when I look at you?
Are you holding back like the way I do?
'Cause I'm trying and trying to walk away
But I know this crush ain't goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy
Goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy

Why do I keep running from the truth?
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized
And I've just got to know

Chorus:

Do you ever think when you're all alone
All that we can be, where this thing can go?
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it real or just another crush?
Do you catch a breath when I look at you?
Are you holding back like the way I do?
'Cause I'm trying and trying to walk away
But I know this crush ain't goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy
This crush ain't goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy
Goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy
Goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy
Goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy

Retreat Day 2 Part 2 and Day 3

2008-10-21T06:23:00.000-07:00

After naming maglaro, nagkaroon ng batch pic, ang nakakatawa rito eh saksakan ng init at lahat kami ay requiredisuot ang BLACK na batch shirt or anything black, ayun, pinagpawisan kami to the max.......sayang nga lang eh after noon, di na natuloy ang jamming session namin pagkabalik ng Uriel, well ako lang yata ang naiwang di nakasama........ahuhuhuhuhuhu.

Sumunod ang Palanca Letter giving, sa totoo lang, di ako nag-e-expect ng ganun kadaming Palanca, pagkabukas ko ng envelope, inihiwalay ko kaagad ang letters ng parents ko, dahil alam kong mapapaiyak ako. Una kong binasa ang kay Joker, di ko nga inaasahang bibigyan nya ako, sa totoo lang, napapaluha na talaga ako noon, di kokasi akalaing ganun kalaki ang naging effect ko kay Joker, sa totoo nga, na-gi-guilty ako't di ako nakagawa ng palanca sa mga tao, nagsisisi talaga ako. Sumunod ang kay Franco, noon anu di ko nga malaman kung kanino, pero nakuha ko rin nung nakita ko yung signature nya, talagang nakakatuwa, next ang trio nina Hanna, Ianne at LC, hindi talaga ako nag-e-expect na maluluha ako pero ganun din. Pagkabalik ko ng cottage, dumiretso ako ng kama, nagtalukbong at tsaka binasa ang mga letters ng parents ko, di ko talaga ma-explain kung gaano ako natutuwa sa kanila, kahit may katigasan ang ulo ko, pasaway ....... talagang naamdaman ko angpagmamahal nila, kulang na nga lang, humagulgol ako.....joke pero talagang tinamaan ako.

After ng lahat, nagkulitan na naman kami sa room, tapos 3 beses kaming sinita ng teachers dahil ang ingay daw talaga namin, pero nung tulugan time na, di ko pa rin malimutan yung mga pinagsasabi nila sa mga palanca, at ako'y lubos na natutuwa't na-a-appreciate nila ang efforts ko.......at naging mabuting kaibigan.

Nuong 3 day na, wala naman sigurong mahahalagang things na nangyari maliban sa Praise and Worship naming 'The Others' or 'Non-catholics (NC)'. naging blessing sya talaga. Sumunod eh yung di ko malimutang stroll namin nina Christian, Mirko at Mymy, nagulat nga ako dahil tinanong kami ni Christian ng pagkakaiba ng religions namin, at ang masaya, dahil sa urge at pagsisimulanya,nagawa naming ma-share-an sya ng gospels, di nyo lang alam kung gaano kasaya ang feeling sa may na-share-an kami, sabi nga naming 3 NCs [mirko,ako,mymy] na maraming salamat kay Lord at nagawa naming masabihan si Esguerra, at sabi pa namin, di kmia titigil hanggat buong 233 pa ng buong 2010 batch at buong Pisay community ang ma-share-an namin, sana eh magawa ko rin ma-share-an sina Izo, GianPando at Isma, dahil 3 taon ko na silang kilala at nasayang iyon dahil di pa ako ready at di pa ako sigurado, ngayon at nagawa namin sya kay Christian, nanghihingi ako kay Lord ng strength at power na ma-strat ma-share-an ang tatlong taong naging malaking parte na ng buhay Pisay ko

UNITE: Batch 2010 retreat '08

2008-10-19T06:13:00.000-07:00

Sa totoo lang, this day wasn't the kind of day I really wanted it to be...

-------> naging masaya at makabuluhan ang naging talk nina Ate Jaja at Kuya Ivan tungkol sa love sa 'A Portrait Of Love'

----->Binigyan nila kami ng iba't-ibang paraan upang sabihin namin ang aming mga saluobin sa ibang tau sa magagandang pamamaraan:
--->Kung mag-be-break
--->Kung makulit sa guy kahit ayaw talaga ni girl
--->Kung paano maging friends sa ex-bf/ex-gf mo

----->Kung paano matuto sa iba't-ibang ugali ng guys at girls
--->Wag magkaroon ng exclusiverelationship sa HS, frinedships muna (para maging familiar sa gusto ng opposite sex)
--->Matutong umintindi sa isa't-isa
--->walang "Love at first sight" ... ang meron ay "Crush at first sight"
--->True love goes through good and bad times ....... Crushes only go through (or tend to survive only through) good times
--->True love endures differences ....... Crushes tend to be broken easily by struggles

-------> Hindi ko na-enjoy ang activities ng batch noong gabi:

----->Ang gusto ko lang ay yung Human Bingo kaso nga lang ay sobrang personal kaya't kaonti lang ang nagseryoso
----->Hindi tama ang 'dares' duon sa Giant Board Game:
--->Yung Surpanakha scene -- medyo indecent compared sa true mission vision ng camp
---> Yung pinagawa kina Don sa pagkain ay di rin tama
---> Yung ginawa ni Franco D.R. ay talagang hindi karapatdapat gawin

*Ang pinuntahan natin ay isang camp for us to grow spiritually at hindi isang wild party*
*pati si Fr. Mon ay nailang sa mga pinaggagagawa ninyo....promise*

Story Of A Girl by Nine Days

2008-10-15T08:02:00.000-07:00

STORY OF A GIRL

[Chorus:]
This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looked so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her
When she smiles

Now how many days in a year
She woke up with hope
But she only found tears
And I can be so insincere
Making her promises never for real
As long as she stands there waiting
Wearing the holes in the soles of her shoes
Now how many days disappear
When you look in the mirror
So how do you choose

Your clothes never wear as well the next day
And your hair never falls in quite the same way
You never seem to run out of things to say

[Chorus:]
This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looked so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her
When she smiles

Now how many lovers would stay
Just to put up with this
Everyday and all day
Now how did we wind up this way
Watching our mouths for the words that we say
As long as we stand here waiting
Wearing the clothes or the soles that we choose
Now how do we get there today
When we're walking too far for the price of our shoes

Your clothes never wear as well the next day
And your hair never falls in quite the same way
You never seem to run out of things to say

[Chorus:]
This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looked so sad and lonely there
I absolutely love her
When she smiles

Well your clothes never wear as well the next day
And your hair never falls in quite the same way
You never seem to run out of things to say

[Chorus:]
This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looked so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her

This is the story of a girl
Who's pretty face she hid from the world
and while she looks so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her

This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looked so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her
When she smiles

When she smiles!

Lord's Garden (SIBOL Camp 2008 sa Calamba, Laguna [April 1-5])

2008-10-12T08:03:00.000-07:00

Mahigit anim na buwan na rin mula ng sumali ako sa Sibol Camp sa Lord's Garden...at ngayon, sa tingin ko, mas gugustuhin ko pang manatili na lang doon. Kahit na sabihin nyo pang madalang ang cellphone signal, walang computer o TV man lamang, dito ko naramdaman ang pagiging close ko kay Lord. Sabihin nyo mang corny ako, o nagpapaka banal, totoo lahat ng sinasabi ko; di nyo lang kasi alam lahat ng mali kong ginagawa.

Kung tutuusin, pinilit lang ako noon na sumali sa christian camp na sinasabi ko, namilit nga lang din ako ng mga makakasama para hindi ako ma-Out-of-Place. Nung simula nga akala ko pumasok ako sa inpiritwal na 'bahay ni kuya', aba, may scheldule kayo, may oras ng pagkain, paglalaro at pagtulog, pero para sa akin, naramdaman ko yung closeness naming dalawa dahil sa limang araw ko sa Lord's Garden. Naging malaking tulong sa akin pati yung mga taong nakilala ko rito: si Kate ang kasama ko sa SG at buddy-buddy ko sa lokohan, sina Elah, Grecelle, Melvin, Jeremy, Ejay, Jake at lahat ng iba pa (sorry kung limot ko ang mga pangalan nyo, sana patawarin). Yung mga kwentuhan bago matulog at mga laro.

Sina Ate Bibang at Kuya Matt naman ang Big Sister at Brother namin. Naging mas close siguro ako kay Ate Bibs, kasi nakaka-connect sya sa mga thoughts ko at pati sa mga pamilya namin, halos pareho kami ng pinagdadaanan [ayon sa aming dalawa]. Yung talk ni K. jeff tungkol sa bagay na ito ang mas nagtulak sa akin na kilalanin si Ate Bibs, sayang kulang sa oras, dahil ang dami ko sanang gustong itanong sa kanya. Si K. Matt naman ang jester ng grupo, ang 'nagpapa-high' sa amin kapag inaantok at lugmok kaming lahat.

Naging isang masayang Small Group kami dahil sa iba't-ibang chores na binibigay sa amin...yung paghuhugas namin ng sabay-sabay ng mga pinggan, baso, kawa/kawaling malaki, pag-aayos ng mga pinagkainan.

Naging best day sa akin yung 'monk day' namin... eto yung araw kung saan mula pagkagising hanggang pagtulog sa gabi, bawal makipag-usapsa ibang tao. Dito sa amin pinakita ang tunay na pagmamahal ni Jesus sa amin, dito sa amin tumatak ang ginawa niyang sakripisyo. Kung natatandaan ko pa...bigla kaming ginising noon mula sa siesta isa-isa at binigyan ng puting cloth na nadumihan ng putik [ito'y ginamit namin, duon namin ipinunas sa puting cloth yung dumi ng kamay after ng isang activity], tapos bigla kaming kinaladkad papasok ng main hall, dito, hinatulan kami ng kamatayan dahil sa mga sins namin, bigla kaming pinaupo, isa sa amin ang ipapako na sana, pero, lumapit ang isang tao at sinabing siya na lang, dito, bigla akong tinamaan, binalikan ko lahat ng masasamang bagay na nagawa ko, talagang napaiyak ako noon, dahil iniisip ko kung gaano kasakit ang dapat Niyang lampasan para sa akin, dahil kung ako yung nasa krus, hindi ako makatatagal. Hindi ko lang ma-describe kung gaano ako nalungkot dahil sa sarili ko at kasaya na may lumigtas sa akin; honestly, nainis ako sa ibang bata doon sa hindi seneryoso ang pagkakataong iyon, dahil sa totoo lang, sapul na sapul talaga ako sa mga pangyayari. Pagkatapos noon, pinabalik kami sa kuwarto at ako, dahil lubhang tinamaan, umiiyak pa rin ako.

Na-mi-miss ko duon ang ambiance kung saan pwede ka talagang makapag-concentrate sa Lord at pagnilaynilayan ang mga bagay. Duon, nagagawa kong makapag-QuietTime para makausap si lord, ngayon kasi, masyadong hectic ang buhay. kung bibigyan nga ako ng pagkakataong bumalik doon, kukunin ko, dahil ang feeling ko, ang physical & mental vs. spiritual maturity ko ay di tugma, marami pa akong dapat pagdaanan.

I-i-is-stress ko talaga na sana, sa darating na Retreat sa Oct 17-19, sana maramdaman ko ang naramdaman ko sa Lord's Garden, dahil, kung pwede nga lang doon na mismo tumira, gagawin ko, hindi ko kasi masabi / maipaliwanag ang feelign ng na-be-bless ka sa place na iyon.

Lahat nga siguro ng kailangan mo para magkaroon kayo ng special quality time ng Lord, nandoon na: ang mga taong makatutulong sa'yo, ang peaceful sa lugar, ang naka-re-relax na ambiance at isang grupo ng mga staff lalo ng mga kaibigan na tutulong sa iyo.

*Special mention ko siguro sina Mia, Elah, Grecelle at Melvin dahil ipinakita nila sa akin ang iba;t-ibang buhay ng isang Kristiano: Buhay Pastor's Child, Buhay OP sa ibang friends, Buhay Left Out dahil sa church works, Buhay Hirap at Dali ng isang Christian, ipinakita nila, at naging kontento ako sa buhay ko, dahil sa school, merong mga taong nakaiintindi sa kalagayan ko at di ka i-no-OP dahil sa relihiyon mo..........basta, sana maging kasing laking blessing, kundi man ay mas malaking blessing ang Retreat sa Sibol camp*

This Is Me

THIS IS ME

(Verse 1) Demi:
I've always been the kind of girl
That hid my face
So afraid to tell the world
What I've got to say
But I have this dream
Bright inside of me
I'm gonna let it show
It's time to let you know
To let you know

(Chorus) Demi:
This is real
This is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be now,
Gonna let the light
Shine on me
Now I found who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I wanna be
This is me

(Verse2) Demi:
Do you know what it's like
To feel so in the dark
To dream about a life
Where your the shining star
Even though it seems
Like it's to far away
I have to believe
In myself
It's the only way

(Chorus) Demi:
This is real
This is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be now,
Gonna let the light
Shine on me
Now I found who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I wanna be
This is me

(Bridge) Joe & Demi:
Joe:
You're the voice I hear inside my head
The reason that I'm singing
I need to find you
I gotta find you
Your the missing piece I need
The song inside of me
I need to find you

Joe & Demi:
I gotta find you
Demi:
This is real
This is me

Joe & Demi:
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be now,
Gonna let the light
Shine on me
Now I found who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I wanna be

Demi:
This is me
Joe:
You're the missing piece I need
The song inside of me

Demi:
This is me Yeah

Joe:
You're the voice I hear inside my head
The reason that I'm singing

Joe&Demi:
Now I've found who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I wanna be

Liberation From Perio

2008-10-08T08:54:00.000-07:00

Buti naman at natapos na rin ang Perio, sa totoo lang, namatay din ako sa hirap ng tests ano.

Yung Chem, imbes na ma-stress at magalit, matawa na lang kaming dalawa ni Oona sa test dahil hindi talaga namin gets yung ilang tanong. Tapos sundan pa ng English, kung minani nyo lang yung vocab, medyo-medyo na kayo, pag natapos nyo yung The Kitchen God's Wife (ng isang beses), congrats; kung inulit mo dahil kailangan, well, nagdusa ka ulit ano; kung di mo natapos, hay, marami kang karamay dya pare; at kung inulit mo at na-enjoymo sya, aba, walayata sa bukabolaryo mo ang salitang 'boredom' at na-enjoy mo ang epal na libro, tao ka ba??? (ehem Hanna, ehem), [yung iba nga, Sparknotes nalang eh] (half guilty ako, natapos ko naman eh).

Round 2!?!?!?!
mag-trig muna kayo, hirap ako, kinaylangan ko ng cold compress, dumugo ilong ko sa tanong. Kung nasaulo mo lahat ng trif identities, dapat sa SocSco mo nalang ginamit yang utak mo; kung less than halfang sigurado mong tama, karamay mo ako dyan; kung kalahati ang sigurado mong tama, yes naman, mas malaki na ang chance mong pumasa; kunh minani mo lang, grabe ka, kailang kong mahiram yang utak mo, yun nga lang, no return no exchange ang policy ko eh, sorry ka na lang.
Bio naman, kung dati nagreklamo tayo na kaunti ang questions ni Sir Chuckie, aba, ngayon, kinarir ng guro mo ang perio, aba, unang tingin palang, naka-imprenta na yung pangalang Chuckie Fer Calsado sa Test paper eh. Simulan mo sa multiple choice, dali lang ano? Eh yung Circulatory chain thingy, nakalilito ano?? Nakatulong yung "Ang Pangit Mo Tlaga" (Aortic, Pulmonary, Mitral at Tricuspid valves....pa 'Z' yun ha). Sayang walang 3 column multiple choice, kung di mo alam, pamatay ni Sir yun....hahahaha joke lang Sir.

Roung 3?!?!?!?!
Physics ang Appitizer, nabaliw ka sa dami ng formalamong sasauluhin?? baka naman napaghalo mo na ang formula ng Momentun at Work, eh baka napagpalit mo na ang formula ng KE at PE. O baka naman nakaiwan ka ng SciCal?? Naku, malas mo, lahat ng computatons, gawin ba ng mano-mano??
SocSci ang maincourse. Sige, anong oras ka nga dapat nakapila sa Flagpole area kapag nag-1st bell na?? Eh kung sino ang Pinuno ng Pres. Peace Keeping Committee.? Sige nga, sinong germanic truibe ang simalakay sa Roman Church? naku, di mo kinaya yan, mukhang uuwi kang luhaan.

Pisay Nasunog?!!!!

2008-09-29T22:37:00.000-07:00

Nagkaroon ng malaking sunog kaninang mga alas-dos ng umaga sa faculty room ng Pisay Main Campus sa may Agham Road Quezon City. Halos naubos ang nasabing kwarto na 'bina-bahayan' ng mga guro kapag oras ng klase.

Ayon kay G. Jose Raphael Antinio Ruivivar Flores, isang guro sa Ingles, at isang eye witness, ang mga cubicle lamang na malapit sa mga bintana ang nabuhay mula sa sunog. Ayon din sa kanya, na-concentrate ang apoy sa lugar ng mga cubicle nina Gng. Aguila at G. Vlad ng Filipino at SocSci unit.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sa totoo lang, di ko talaga maisip sa mangyayari ito sa Pisay (kung kelan malapit na rin ang Perio). Sana nga, nangyari lang ito dahil sa pumutok na circuit (dahil nakakatakot kung sinadya ito).

At isa pa, mali ang binigay na report ng dalawang malaki (at nag-aaway) na estasyon. Sabi ng GMA-7, classroom daw ang nasunog....malaki naman siguro ng CLASSROOM sa FACULTY ROOM diba. http://www.gmanews.tv/story/123876/Fire-hits-classroom-of-school-in-Quezon-City# . Sabi naman nung isa, pati Registrar's Office ay natupok....HINDI PO...MUNTIK LANG. DI ba nila iniisip ang naging panic naming mga estudyante dahil natupok ang registrar's office (eh mali naman pala). Tsaka, di ba nila kayang i-verify kung tama yung mga pinagsasabi nila!!! http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/nation/metro-manila/09/30/08/fire-razes-pshs-classes-suspended . Eh paano na kung marami napala kayong binigay na maling ditalye, kung di ako nagkakamali eh pwede kayong makasuhan. (Kung tuuusin, kung kamipang mga estudyante ng Filipino Journalism ang nag-cover eh baka mas-precise pa ang naging report namin).

YUN LANG, TAPOS NA AKONG MAG-RANT

P.S. pls pray for Nathan of III-Be, may dengue daw sya. Mabait syang tao at masayang kaibigan, sana'y gumaling sya kaagad.

Sabi ni LC eh I-Post Ko daw Eh

One Step At A Time

2008-09-23T04:45:00.000-07:00

ONE STEP AT A TIME

[Verse 1]

Hurry up and wait

So close, but so far away

Everything that you've always dreamed of

Close enough for you to taste

But you just can't touch

[Bridge]

You wanna show the world,

but no one knows your name yet

Wonder when and where and how you're gonna make it

You know you can if you get the chance

In your face and the door keeps slamming

Now you're feeling more and more frustrated

And you're getting all kind of impatient waiting

[Chorus]

We live and we learn to take

One step at a time

There's no need to rush

It's like learning to fly

Or falling in love

It's gonna happen and it's

Supposed to happen that we

Find the reasons why

One step at a time

[Verse 2]

You believe and you doubt

You're confused, you got it all figured out

Everything that you always wished for

Could be yours, should be yours, would be yours

If they only knew

[Bridge]

You wanna show the world,

but no one knows your name yet

Wonder when and where and how you're gonna make it

You know you can if you get the chance

In your face and the door keeps slamming

Now you're feeling more and more frustrated

And you're getting all kind of impatient waiting

[Chorus]

We live and we learn to take

One step at a time

There's no need to rush

It's like learning to fly

Or falling in love

It's gonna happen and it's

Supposed to happen that we

Find the reasons why

One step at a time

[Verse 3]

When you can't wait any longer

But there's no end in sight

When you need to find the strength

It's the faith that makes you stronger

The only way we get there

Is one step at a time

[Chorus]

Take one step at a time

There's no need to rush

It's like learning to fly

Or falling in love

It's gonna happen and it's

Supposed to happen that we

Find the reasons why

One step at a time

[Chorus]

One step at a time

There's no need to rush

It's like learning to fly

Or falling in love

It's gonna happen and it's

Supposed to happen that we

Find the reasons why

One step at a time

Lord Of The Dance

2008-09-22T08:05:00.000-07:00

LORD OF THE DANCE

On the bank of the Tennessee River

In a small Kentucky town

I drew my first breath one cold November morning

And before my feet even touched the ground

With the doctors and the nurses gathered 'round

I started to dance

A little boy full of wide-eyed wonder

Footloose and fancy free

But it would happen as it does for every dancer

That I'd stumble on a truth I couldn't see

And find a longing deep inside of me, it said...

Chorus
I am the heart, I need the heartbeat

I am the eyes, I need the sight

I realize that I am just a bodyI need the life

I move my feet I go through the motions

But who'll give purpose to chance

I am the dancer

I need the Lord of the dance

The world beneath us spins in circles

And this life makes us twist and turn and sway

But we were made for more than rhythm with no reason

By the one who moves with passion and with grace

As He dances over all that He has made

Chorus
I am the heart, He is the heartbeat

I am the eyes, He is the sight

And I see clearly, I am just a body

He is the lifeI move my feet, I go through the motions

But He gives purpose to chance

I am the dancer

He is the Lord of the dance

Lord of the dance

And while the music of His love and mercy play

I will fall down on my knees and I will pray

Chorus
I am the heart, You are the heartbeat

I am the eyes, You are the sight

And I see clearly, I am just a body

You are the life

I move my feet, I go through the motions

But You give purpose to chance

I am the dancer

Remembering You

Written by Steven Curtis Chapman

I found You in the most unlikely way

But really it was You who found me

And I found myself in the gifts that You gave

You gave me so much and I

I wish You could staybut I'll,

I'll wait for the day

Chorus

And I watch as the cold winter melts into spring

And I'll be remembering You

Oh and I'll smell the flowers

and hear the birds sing and

I'll be remembering You,

I'll be remembering You

From the first moment when I heard Your name

Something in my heart came alive

You showed me love and no words could explain

A love with the power to

Open the door

To a world I was made for

Chorus

And I watch as the cold winter melts into spring

And I'll be remembering You

Oh and I'll smell the flowers

and hear the birds sing and

I'll be remembering You,

I'll be remembering You

The dark night, the hard fight

The long climb up the hill knowing the cost

The brave death, the last breathe

The silence whispering all hope was lost

The thunder, the wonder

A power that brings the dead back to life

I wish You could stay

But I'll wait for the day

And though You've gone away

You come back and

Chorus

And I watch as the cold winter melts into spring

And I'll be remembering You

Oh and I'll smell the flowers

and hear the birds sing and

I'll be remembering You,

I'll be remembering You

And I'll watch as the sun fills a sky that was dark

And I'll be remembering You

And I'll think of the way that You fill up my heart

And I'll be remembering

YouI'll be remembering

YouI'll be remembering You

MMDA, Tama Ba Yan?!?!?!

2008-09-19T09:26:00.000-07:00

Kaninang umaga, habang papauwi galing sa paghatid ng aking kapatid, nagkaroon ng matinding traffic dahil sa isang malaking butas na ginawa ng MMDA na sumakop na ng humigit kumulang kalahati ng kalye. Hindi ba nila iniisip ang magiging bunga ng kanilang mga ginawa?? Hindi man lang ba sila gumawa ng isang 'detour' plan para di magkaroon ng heavy traffic??

Sa totoo lang, naiinis ako sa mga pinaggagagawa ng MMDA sa mga kalsada rito sa Metro Manila.

Una, ang paglagay nila ng sangkatutak na 'chicken wire', yung mga pink na 'fences' (kung matatawag nyo man yung fences). Dahil sa paglalagay ng mga ito, mas nahihirapan ang mga bus na pumasok at lumabas sa mga slots na ito dahil ang laki ng bawat daan ay eksakto lamang sa isang bus. Tanda ko pa noon, naghihintay ako ng bus sa may Paramount (diyan sa may trinoma), at may isang bus na sumadsad sa konkreto dahil masyadong makipot ang daan na ginawa nila. ganoon din sa 'fences' malapit sa mga over at underpasses. Kung napansin ninyo, nilalagyan nila ang border ng main road at overpasses para 'mas maayo' raw, ngunit, (galing sa sariling ekspiryensya) ang mga ito ay hindi makita lalo na kung gabi, mas nagiging mapiligro tuloy dahil di mo nakikita kung may mababangga ka na bang pink chicken wire.

Ikalawa, ang maraming plastic at concrete barriers na kanilang pinaglalalagay sa mga u-turn slots. Kung tutuusin, sobra-sobra na ang gamit nila nito, kung nakikita ninyo, sumasakop ang u-turn area ng halos dalawang lanes dahil sa mga ito. Ang masama rito, karamihan (kung hindi lahat) ng mga barriers ay walang ilaw o reflectors man lang. Malaking peligro ito lalo na't kung gabi at nasa bandang kalagitnaan ito ng mga kalyeng may mga mabibilis na kotse.

Ikatlo siguro ang mga u-turn slots na para sa akin ay wala sa lugar. Isa na siguro dito ang napabalitang u-turn slot malapit sa ADMU. Isa ko sigurong reklamo ang u-turn slot dito sa EDSA malapit sa Congresional Ave. kung titingnan kasi, masyadong malayo ito, wala rin naman kasing katuturan kung ilalayo ito dahil wala naman ibang kalye na makikita sa area na iyon.

Ika-apat ang ginawa nilang pagtanggal ng mga 'sign cards' sa mga bus at jeep. Ayon sa kanila, hindi raw nakikita ng mga tsuper ang kalsada dahil sa mga ito, at naging dahilan na daw ito ng mga banggaan. Ang sa akin naman eh masyadong maliliit ang mga ito at kung tutuusin, masyado na ngang nakaharap ang driver sa kalye. Isa pa rito ay mahihirapan ang mga mananakay malaman kung ano ang ruta ng mga bus at jeep. Bakit, paano na kaya kung sa maling bus ka napasakay, eh di mas naabala pa ka, ang alternative siguro ay ilagay nila ang mga karatula kahit man lang sa bandang ibaba ng kanilang mga wind shield, hindi na naman siguro nito mahahadlangan ang view ng mga driver.

Ang masasabi ko lang kasi eh kung gagawa sila ng mga hakbang, wag lang nilang tingnan ang mga pros nito kundi pati cons, dahil karamihan ng mga stuper at mananankay na aking naririnig ay nagagalit sa mga poroyektong ginagawa ng MMDA.

Makata Daw Ba Ako???

O irog, mahal ko,

Ako'y iniwan mo;

Sige, ganyan ka na pala,

Malalagot ka sa g'wardya.

PISAY

Bahay ng nerdo;

Ang takok mo sa Bio,

Physics ayaw mo.

HAYNAYAN

Mga phylum at pangalan

Iyong tatandaan;

Disection nyo ng kokak,

'Wag kang papalpak!

SIPNAYAN

Takot na takot ka ba,

Sa Geom at Algebra?

Ngayon hindi lang numero,

pati mga letra isama mo.

Hay, balik na naman tayo sa riyalidad ng aking buhay...balik na naman sa pag-aaral, pag-ka-cram, sa pagpupuyat et al. (tao ba ang mga yan). Sa totoo lang, kung i-ga-graph mo ang dami ng brain cells ko (sa left at right side ha) mula noong saturday hanggang ngayon, isa s'yang quadratic function: f(x) = -10 (X*squared* + 10) +10 ... grabe, sabi nga ni Hanna, kung bangag ka, bangag ka talaga, wala kang magagawa.

Uunahin ko nang mag-rant (medyo lang naman...at usually, kasalanan ko rin). Ang Bio LT, well, sa totoo lang, caught unprepared ako, akala ko kasi Miyerkules ka yun (hay juan-juan, yang tenga mo ah, marami nang tutule), medyo madali lang naman, pero medyo stressful din, unahin ko yung ATHEROSCLEROSIS + ARTERIOSCLEROSIS = ARTHERIOSCLEROSIS (epal lang talaga), tapos nakahihilo rin nung i-a-arrange mo according sa isang buong respiratory cycle. Wala lang.

Isunod ko na yung Chem, well, medyo malabo ang chem sa akin ngayon, tapos di rin ako ganun ka productive kung time pressured, kaya medyo tagilid ako din hehe. Yun lang naman, bored ako eh.

Alternative Classroom Learning Experience: Alibata

2008-09-03T04:30:00.000-07:00

Naging malaking tagumpay ang Alibata ACLE na itinuro ni Ginoong Leo Emmanuel Castro noong ikalawa ng Sityenbre 2008 sa AVR ng ASTB para sa Linggo Ng Humanidades sa Pisay.

Sinimulan ng tagapagsalita na si Ginoong Castro ang pagbibigay linaw ukol sa iba't-ibang maling akala ukol sa alibata. Una, ito ay pinangalanang BAYBAYIN at HINDI ALIBATA, ang salitang alibata ay gawa lamang ng isang college dean dahil napansin niyang kamukha ng baybayin ang alpabetong arabic at ginawa ang salitang alibata mula sa unang tatlong letra ng arabic alphabet (ali-ba-ta). Sunod, ang baybayin ay hindi alpabeto kundi isang syllabary; ang isang alpabeto ay may mga simbolong kumakatawan sa isang tunog habang ang isang syllabary ay may mga simbolong kumakatawan sa isang pantig.

Umusbong ang Baybayin sa may baybayin ng mga pulo sa Pilipinas. Ito ang naging paraan ng pag-uusap bago pa man dumating ang mga Espanyol. Binubuo ito ng 3 katinig at 14 na patinig+katinig na simbolo. Ito ay may dalawang batas lamang na sinusunod: una, kung anong bigkas ay siyang baybay; pangalawa, kung ang dulo ng pantig ay isang patinig, di ito isinusulat. (gamit ang mga batas, ang salitang 'magsalin' ay magiging 'ma-sa-li'). Ngunit noong naki-alam ang mga dayuhan, di nila lubos maintindihan ang mga salita dahil sa mga nawawalang mga tunog kayat gumamit sila ng 'krus kudlit' sa ilalim ng simbolo upang ang katinig na tunog pagkatapos ng patinig ay mawal at ito'y magin tunog patinig na lamang (di pinapakita sa larawan).

Ang mga simbolong ginamit para sa bawat pantig ay di lamang upang ito'y maisulat ngunit ang mga simbolo ay nagpapahiwatig ng iba't-iba ring ideyalismo: ang 'ba' at 'la'

ay ang simbolo para sa babae at lalaki, ang 'ha' ang nagbibigay ideya sa hinalo o pinagsama, ang ibigsabihin ng 'ka' ay pinag-ugnay. Kaya't kung titingnan, ang salitang BATHALA at BAKLA ay ating maiintindihan di lamang sa salita ngunit pati sa mga simobolong kumakatawan sa mga salitang ito.

Si Ginoong Castro ang kasalukuyang executive director ng Sanghabi, isang non-government organization na naglalayong mapakalat, mas mapagyaman at mapag-aralan ang kulturang Pilipino ng mga tao sa modernong panahon. Sa ngayon, siya ay isang free lance consultant. Siya'y naging kabahagi ng Sanghabi mula pa 1995. Nagkulehiyo siya sa Unibersidad ng Pilipinas sa kurson mechanical engieneer ngunit nag-shift papuntang antropolohiya.

Humanities Week: We Didn't Burn This Time (2nd Day)

2008-09-02T05:29:00.000-07:00

Sa wakas, naging makatao rin ang Humanities Week, para sa akin, naging maayos ang sistema at walang nangyaring malalaking aberya; magaganda rin ang mga napili nilang ACLE (Alternative Class Room Experience) classes.

Kahit di ako masyado boto para sa aming ACLE FORA, masasabi kong napapanahon ito at makatutulong sa mga estudyante, ang aming ACLE na pinamagatang I KEEP LOVE REAL ay isang forum ukol sa love, relationships, knowing your self more, marriage at pagtatalik; naging positibo ang tingin ko rito dahil nauuso na nga ang mga cases ng early marriages, maaagang pagtatalik at abortion, dahil rito, na-enlighten kami uko, sa mga bagay-bagay na ito.

Kung Selected ACLE naman ang pag-uusapan, napaka-gaganda ng mga selections nila this year kaso nga lang, para namang bitin, iisa lamang ang pwede mong puntahan, mas ma-eenjoy siguro namin kung 2, kahit magkasunod. Iilan na rito ang movie at book discussions, alibata, sign language classes, photo at video editing, computer animation, at iba't-ibang cooking related subjects: ang science nito, 'special formulas' para sa masarap na kape, pizza, lomi, taekwondo, diving at etc.

Ang KKKwiz naman na pinangunahan ng AKSIS (AKSyon ISkolar), ang SocSci club ng Pisay ay naging matagunpay. Talagang nagpakita ng husay at galing ang mga kalahok ng bawat taon (ang mga tinatawag na nerdo sa history O_0), pero di rin nagpatalo ang audience, tila'y kinukuyod ng mga bubuyog ang mikropono kapag audience participation na ang palaro, sige ang takbo at hiyawan kapag nauuna ang kanilang kaklase sa mikropono upang sumagot. Naging mga tanong rito ang Pinoy History, Asian at World History, Current Events, Economics at Pisay History. Aba, kung tutuusin, grabe ang mga teams dahil pati ba naman batas na gumawa sa Pisay, batas na nagbago sa kurikyulum ng pisay (RA number nito at pangalan ha), numero ng estudyante, members ng Pisay board of trustees ay kilala rin, kulang na lang yata pati numero ng electric fans, dami ng upuan, dami ng baitang ng hagdanan ay malaman nila.

Hay, Di-Kum na bukas, sana magawa namin ng maayos, kahit di na manalo. Halos lahat yata ng section ay nag-over time para sa practices.

*Pagku-kwento ukol sa napili kong ACLE ay sa isa pang blog post na lang [alibata]*

In-Humanities Week...Seriously (1st day)

2008-09-01T03:40:00.000-07:00

Ang Linggo Ng Humanidades (H.W.) ay isang pangyayari sa Pisay na inaantabayanan ng lahat, mula sa Conan at Kilos Awit ng Freshmen, Katutubong Sayaw ng Second Years, Di-Kumbensyonal Na Musika ng Juniors at Sayaw Interpretasyon ng Fourth Years, pero mukhang pumalya kaagad ang Pisay sa pangyayaring ito at marami ang nagdusa para dito.

Una, hindi naging masaya ang mga estudyante sa kakaunting concessionaires kaisa dati, nawala raw ang Zagu, ang top stall kapag merong special events sa Pisay. Naging boring daw ang lunch dahil wala na raw silang mga stalls na pipilahan ng mahaba (seryoso ito, tanungin nyo pa sila) at yun namang ayaw sa mahahabang pila ay mas nainis dahil mas nag-uunahan ngayon ang mga taong pumila.

Ikalawa, ang pagiging OA ng COCC (advanced state ng CAT) sa mga estudyante, ayun pa sa isang kaklase, naging walang kwenta raw ang games ng H.W. dahil sinakripisyo raw ng COCC ang fun para sa organization. pinilit nilang paghintayin ang mga estudyante sa mainit na oval ng mahigit kumulang 2-3 oras ng hindi pinapayagang pumunta kahit saan man. Naging batas nila ang pagpayag lamang ng isang tao bawat batch (240 katao bawat batch) ang makalabas at bumili/umihi/etc. Isang reaksyon ng mga estudyante ay kung bakit kinailangang umupu ang mga ito sa nakakasunog-balat ng init ng araw ng 2 oras habang nasa lilim ng mga gazeebo ang mga COCC habang nagbabantay.

Naging tingin ko at ng ibang estudyante ang pagiging walang konsidirasyon ng COCC sa mga taong madaling mahimatay, may low-blood pressure at madaling dumugo ang ilong (isa na ako sa mga ito). Marami sa mga estudyante ang nakaranas ng matinding pagkahilo, pagsakit ng ulo, paglabo ng paningin at sabi ng iba ay 'pre-heat stoke syndrome ' ang nangyari. At nang ang inyong lingkod ay pumunta sa klinika upang humingi ng gamot sa sobrang pagsakit ng ulo at pagkahilo, sakita kong humigit 20 katao na ang pumunta sa klinika dahil sa pare-parehong mga sintomas, sabi ng nurse ay marami daw sa mga estudyante ang nasobrahan sa init ng araw at di raw mailabas ang nasagap na init na nagdudulot ng mga nasabing nararamdaman. Para sa akin, naging pabaya ang COCC sa health ng mga estudyante, lalo na sa may mga kakaibang reaksyon kung masyadong mainitan

Buhay Pisay: Unang Taon (bored ako eh)

2008-08-27T04:46:00.000-07:00

Sa pag-pasok mo sa una mong taong sa Pisay, na ngangapa-ngapa ka pa sa dilim: di mo alam kung saan sa pupunta kapag lunch na, kasi di mahulugang karayom ang cafeteria, di mo pa kilala ang mga classmates mo, ni ang pasikot-sikot sa loob at labas ng mga gusali eh di mo rin saulado. Tapos, yung mga teachers eh mukang suplado't suplada.

Tapos, pagkatapos ng ilang linggo, yung datin di makabasag pinggan na klase, eh halos batuhin na ng pinggan ng mga teachers kasi sobrang daldal na, kung dati, kapag lunch eh para labo-labo kung saan kayo kakain magisa, ngayon, para na kayong malagkit na kanin / mga molecules ng isang solid na sobrang compact / parang isang colony ng Pandorina (colonial plant-like protist) na mamatay kung may isang mawawala. Ang dating teachers na kina-tatakutan mo eh ka kwentuhan mo na at parang dabarkads mo na!

highlights siguro ng buhay first year eh yung Humanities Week, kasi mag-pe-perform kayo ng sayaw na lahat ng mga nakaraang freshmen ay pinag-daanan, ang initiation mo para masabi mong Pisay freshman ka, ang CONAN (galop, galop, galop piont) (pink at voilet ang suot ng Garnet noon, sa field kayo sasayaw at malas lang namin, maputik noong oras na yun). Masaya rin ang Frepies (freshmen plays), bibigyan lang kayo ng theme at kayo na ang bahala kung paano nyo ito i-i-interpret, tapos kailangan nyo pang mag-practice sa bahay ng kaklase nyo (kami nga eh, nanuuod muna ng dalawang movie bago magsimula, tapos mga 2 weeks behind kami noon ha). Siguradong tatatak sayo yung mga sigawan dahil walang nakikinig kay Direk, ang mga tawanan kapag mag nagkakamali at ang sandamakmak na takes nyo per scene kasi di talaga ma-perfect. Ang mga awards na pwede nyong matanggap (nanalo kami!!! Best Director (kahit di halos wala namang magawa ang male Direk namin.....peace lang po tayo) Best script, Best script writer, Best actor at supporting actor at BEST PLAY).

Di rin malilimutan ang mga Hell Weeks, yung huling linggo bago mag-periodical exam, kapag bugbug sarado kayo sa mga long tests, pahabol na projects at requirements; kapag lumalabas kayung mag-ba-barkada pagkatapos ng Perio Week. Ang mga teachers na may special abilities at charisma sa mga estudyante: si Sir Delfin Angeles (EarthSci and Physics) na kayang mag drawing ng perfect circle, si Ma'am Salac (math1), ang singing math teacher ng 1st year, si Sir Joey at Ma'am Sanchez (english at filipino respectively) na talagang napapalapit sa mga students nila.
