MAKE A DIFFERENCE WITH YOUR LIFE

Excerpt from Simple Truths

Goodbye to my Alma Mater!

I haven't had the chance to post for awhile because I just want to rest from posting. It seems to me that it has been a very obliging work to do, but now I must post for the sake of everything.

Last March 24 was our dearest graduation day. The flow of the ceremony was a bit ok, except for those standing mistakes which makes every one laugh. I thought that I will not be able to cry but I was definitely wrong, I am crying out my lungs....haha... after singing "Thank You", we hug each other as though we will never see again the day after that ocassion. It's such a touching moment. Pictures will be posted anytime....soon....

My mother is pregnant!!! And I wil have a baby brother/sister....again! To tell everyone honestly, I was quite surprised, to the extent that when my mother tells me this news, I acted so foolish! I think, it's natural for me because I never in my life expected that may mother would still bear a child. Nag-iisip na nga ako ng pangalan for the baby eh. For a baby girl, I would like Katherine? Kate? Kassandra? Kelly?, for a baby boy, Kurt? Ken?... as long as it starts with "K". Sabi ko nga eh magtatayo kami ng bandilang "KKK"...haha...

Well, I am turning a new chapter in my life again. High School seems to fly so fast. So many challenges and troubles I might say, I've faced and I am proud that I overcome them all. I never thought that I will survive Masci.

MANILA SCIENCE HIGH SCHOOL....

The first ever science high school in the philippines.... (tagalog mode)
Nung nag-entrance exam ako dito, well I can't say the fully prepared ako, my dad even hired a personal tutor for me which is also a graduate from Masci. So Kuya Rommel, thanks po ulit. During tutor hours, hate na hate ko pag Math na yung topic. Gawd! Minsan gusto kong umiyak! But the almost 3 months tutoring paid of when I pass Masci. Actually, i am almost enrolled at Cavite Science High School at that time when I passed Masci. Ang tagal kasing ilabas yung result, so it's either sa Cavite Science ako or hindi na ako mag-aaral. So my parents enrolled me at CavSci just in case. Fortunately, I passed Masci and I was withdraw from CavSci....haha...My dad even told the admin at CavSci that I have asthma and I can't travel that far...bwahaha!

Yung oras pala na yun na nalaman ko na isa na akong Mascian, yun na pala ang oras ng 4 na taon kong pagdudusa.

From the enrollment, to the medical, to the interview. It's a blast. Nakakapagod. I remember si Mam Parcon pa yung nag-interview sa kin. She asked me, "You're from Cavite, is it ok for you to travel everyday from Cavite to Manila for the sake of studying in Masci?" haha... at eto pa "There are no dangling earrings allowed in the school premises" and I said, "Ah...ok ma'am...sorry..".

First day of School.......
Hatid-sundo pa ako non. First day of school, sobrang nervous ako. Why? First of all feeling ko, lahat ng mga kaklase ko ay out of this world.....pero later....sasabihin ko na kabaligtaran yon....
Wala pa akong kakilala, grabe when I enter Masci from it's very first day, I am a stranger on those sea people.... Then, I met Jean. Nagulat ako nung una kasi medyo namumukhaan ko siya, she's from CRMI and left just before grade school, ewan ko nga ba ba't ko siya namukhaan... Then I asked her, "Ikaw ba si Jean?", nagulat siya kasi hindi naman niya ako kilala. Then she said "yes" and the rest is history.
What's cool about it is magkasection pa kami I-Padolina!!!! Yehey! Kala ko talaga wala akong magiging friends....

I just want to acknowledge thoe special friends who have touched my life....
1. Jean Marie Macatanong- siya ang unang naging kaibigan ko sa Masci, salamat sa pagsasabay minsan pauwi...haha
2. Diane Frenilla- baliw tong babeng to, wala akong masabi.

Ang dami kong naging friendsssssssss.....A won a BIG CIRCLE OF FRIENDS!!!!

Leaving Masci will truly be a hard task. Sobrang dami kong natutunan sa Masci. Hindi lamang tungkol sa pag-aaral kundi tungkol na rin sa buhay. Masci, opened my eyes. Ipinakita ng Masci sa akin ang realidad ng buhay. Na hindi mo makakamit lahat ng bagay na nanaisin mo...gaano mo man ito kagusto, na may mga kaibigan kang palagi mong malalapitan, na may mga tao kang makikila na talagang kaiinisan mo ngunit sa huli'y kagigiliwan mo, na may mga oras na kailangan mo na talaga mangopya dahil babagsak ka na, na may sandali sa iyong buhay na kailangan mong mag-isip ngunit parang hindi gumagana ang isipan mo. Natutunan ko rin dito kung paano mag-"cram", na siya namang ibinuhay ko na...haha. Nalaman ko rin kung paano maging "green"...yes, achievement! Sa masci natuto rin ako gumastos ng malaki! Natuto akong mag-mall, na nakakaubos ng pera, at natuto rin akong magcommute!!! Isa ito sa mga bagay na hindi ko malilimutan, dahil sa pagcocomute, lumagpas ako ng bahay, nanakawan ako at siyempre nakakatabi ko minsan ang mga gwapong kapwa commuters.

Masci....
Masci...
Masci...
Goodbye...

Salamat sa mga gurong walang tinag na nagtuturo sa mga estudyanteng hindi gustong matuto. Pasensya na po kung minsan ay natutulugan ko ang klase niyo...lalo na ang MATH!!!!

Salamat Mang Danny sa kabaitan niyo....

Tunay na hindi kita malilimutan...

Best Piano Player Ever!

Warning: This piano player has no match with Maksim, Liszt or other musical pianist...Don't be shock and be sure to not laugh....

Life Offers Us Many Things

The Secret Wonder of Life

Today is the official day of the start of our graduation practice and believe me it is surely a tiring and an exhausting practice. We started from 12:00 pm after the test and we finished at around 4:30 pm, the worse thing is that we have to study all these songs in 4 VOICES!!!! What is this the MANILA SCIENCE HIGH SCHOOL CHORALE! As in all the students are in the chorale! that's funny I think. Although, I have no idea how many songs we are going to sing, I think studying them with 4 voices will definitely kill us. Baka lahat kami may sakit sa graduation. We practice the 4voices of "Lupang Hinirang" this afternoon and let me tell you honestly, Alto...hm....doesn't quite get the right tune of the voice. haha... Being an alto really needs a lot of concentration and constant practice. So cross fingers for tomorrow.

Nakapagpadagdag pa sa kapaguran ngayong araw na ito ay ang pagpapraktis ng sayaw. We are practicing a social dance for our requirements in MAPEH and I am gonna dance in 2 groups! Cha cha cha and swing! What a multi-tasker am i! haha...

Anyways, GgG had some reunion at Mcdo today and it's quite good because at least i felt that we are still intact as a group and friends. We discussed some problems and I will pray that everything will gonna be alright.

You know, sometimes life has its way in teaching us lessons and realizing things that will make great importance in our lives, though at first life seems to be unfair and we seem to get hurt by all the things that are happening, I think it's the ONLY way that life help to be a BETTER person.

So live life at its fullest now!

The Struggle Part 1

The Struggle
"I am not young enough to know everything."
---Oscar Wilde

Right now, I could see gradually why things are happening the way they are. I can see but not so clear that everything that happens to me, there is a "divine reason" for it. Struggling is such a task for me these days. I tried to struggle and I am still struggling very hard. I am now at the point where God will soon judge me as a person and as a servant to Him and me want to be right, just and deserving in receiving His blessings.

I am still struggling to find the right ANSWERS to my unseeingly endless QUESTIONS. I am still struggling to find the truth and the wonder behind these trials. I now I will find it soon and I know that the moment I found it, everything will change and REGRETS will turn to SATISFACTION.SADNESS will be replaced by GLADNESS and DOUBTS will be forever be replaced by HOPE, FAITH and LOVE.

I must change everything. Change is a BIG step to learn new things and to improve everything that surrounds you. Change can HURT people, it also can LOVE people. Change is CONSTANT and no matter how things go, it always CHANGES.

I am now living in a world that is full of FILTHINESS and RUDENESS. Where SELFISHNESS and PRIDE reigns, and where PREJUDICE, DISCRIMINATION, GREED FOR HONOR AND MONEY resides. Where LOVE seems to be a stranger and FEAR seems to be a disease that is so INFECTIOUS. COLDNESS of the heart is everywhere and INCONSIDERATE acts are in all of us. It’s hard to live in this kind of place. It draws and attracts everything that is in you. It influences your acts,your attitude and your RELATIONSHIP with GOD. It is so DEADLY and FATAL that you don't want to imagine what will it may bring to your life. KILLINGS are everywhere. TERRORISM haunts our countries.
POVERTY still cannot be eradicate. STARVATION, especially in AFRICA. MALNUTRITION of many children. CORRUPTION is now a legal act. It's really tiring and frustrating how the world turned out.
The environment also gradually DETORIATES, ENDANGERED species increased, KILLINGS of POOR marine ANIMALS and most of all the controversial GLOBAL WARMING, that we can really feel it's effects, in the weather and in the food that we eat.

It can all be change, if we will start within ourselves. Many people commit sins, think bad things because we THOUGHT that everythings seems to be out of order,
we THOUGHT that God leaves us already but HE did not leave us. HE wants us to return to HIM. Because PEOPLE have become MATERIALISTIC, SUPERFICIAL and embedded with PRIDE. The ROOT in everything that is happening now is "SIN". Sin departs us from God and without Jesus, God would still be angry to us. But so many people still are not willing to come back to God, so things happen. God is giving us a CHANCE, a CHANCE to CHANGE and a CHANCE to SURRENDER to HIM FULLY. All the bad things we are encountering in our lives, it is either a TRIAL or a CURSE and you can easily distinguished those two words.

Though right now, I think that life on earth will still get WORSE. We can still CHANGE because there's still a CHANCE. GOD is KINDER than you THINK. GOD LOVES US.
