"Help!"
Well, maybe if I were in Manila, I would hear the screams of the victims of Typhoon Ondoy.
People there really need not just the help of Filipinos but the whole world too.
Anyway, God have planned this event and He knows we can fight this problem together. Let's plant trees!

If you have spare clothes, food and money don’t hesitate to help those who are in need, those who experienced the wrath of Typhoon Ondoy. They badly need us.

We are pledging old clothes, and some goods. I am also extending my prayers to all the people affected by this disaster.

New Tropical Storm, PEPENG, PARMA (International Name) is spotted East of Mindanao. According to Nathaniel Cruz, PAG-ASA it is similar to that of Typhoon Milenyo. It is expected to hit Northern Luzon this time. Let us all pray for everyone's safety.

Happy Birthday to Ned Anthony Macoy and Shawntel Agujar. They are both celebrating their 14th birthdays. God bless your KATORSE lives.

I'm back guys! After how many weeks of being busy. Haha! Still busy but I would like to express my feelings about the death our ex-president Cory Aquino.

I really felt bad about the happening. I was really late in knowing it. I am currently watching the news about her death and about the funeral. "CORYYY! CORRYYY! CORRYY!"

President Cory, Thank you for everything. You were the inspiration of the Filipinos and the whole world. You will always remain in our deepest hearts as our mother, teacher and LEADER.

I'll be Gone

Hey! I won't be very active with my blog since I think I'll be busy for some reasons. Maybe 3-4 weeks. Ayus ba? Hehe! God bless all creations!

Damath Week and Theater Arts

2009-07-13T05:21:00.001-07:00

The primary things in our minds were our assignments. During the 3 days of staying in school for our theater arts workshop / Basic Integrated Theater Arts Workshop (BITAW), everyone was worried, exhausted, and more or less 80% stressed. We had a very long list of work to do away from the activity. Nothing was done for the fact that our every minute has a variety of activities to do. That week was also our Damath week. We were so busy about that too. It became a reason why my list became even longer. Honestly, I have no interest in winning the games, all I want was the grade I will get from each wins I make. Anyway, until now, I'm still very busy, but I would still like to make my blog become updated. HAHA!

Here are some images when we had our damath games:

Here are some images when we had our BITAW:

The Moon, Shadow and Myself

2009-07-12T04:23:00.000-07:00

With a jar of wine I sit by the flowering trees.
I drink alone, and where are my friends?
Ah, the moon above looks down on me;
I call and lift my cup to his brightness.
And see, there goes my shadow before me.
Ho! We're a party of three, I say,—
Though the poor moon can't drink,
And my shadow but dances around me,
We're all friends to-night,
The drinker, the moon and the shadow.
Let our revelry be meet for the spring time!

I sing, the wild moon wanders the sky.
I dance, my shadow goes tumbling about.
While we're awake, let us join in carousal;
Only sweet drunkenness shall ever part us.
Let us pledge a friendship no mortals know,
And often hail each other at evening
Far across the vast and vaporous space!

Mr. Moon

2009-07-12T04:14:00.001-07:00

The man on the moon, alone there in space
We see as a sunny reflection
His smile shows his mirth
To us here on earth
With his lunar facial expression

As he circles our globe at a dizzying pace
Controlling our tides and our waves
We wonder just how
That high jumping cow
Has managed to so misbehave

Mister Moon has a way of enticing romance
Along with those stars way above
Regardless of age
The Moon is the sage
At beguiling romantics in love

Shine on Mister Moon, in your way out expanse
We mortals on Earth need your light
Your shine’s for us fateful
For your beacon we’re grateful
You moonshine our earth every night

Now, I'm Lost

2009-07-12T04:10:00.000-07:00

Where has this moon gone?
the moon that used to brighten up
the night sky,
And the moon that used to shine
Brighter than any star,
The moon that used to bring to me
This beautiful light,
For this moon used to lighten up
My heart,

Now that this moon is gone
I must rely on the stars
to bring me light,
This moon left me alone,
alone to suffer and think
empty thoughts,
And now i now that
I am lost,
Oh where has this moon gone?

Optimism

2009-06-28T01:59:00.000-07:00

Lately, I've been having tough days. School is making me really busy. Sometimes, I can't even do the things that I should prioritize more. Like for example, have some time for my family, read the scriptures or attend church activities. That's why I think I'm becoming less spiritual these past few days... or even months.

I've been also dealing with lots of problems. And most of the time, I think I'm all alone. That no one could help me. But that feeling is wrong. No sooner, I realized that someone is always there for me. Aside from my family and friends, there's someone I could always depend on no matter what happen. And that's our dearest Heavenly Father.

Praying was never a hard thing for me to do. It has always been my first action whenever I experience hardships in life. Every time I pray, I feel closer to our Father in Heaven. I feel safe, secure, and loved.

I know He always listens to and answers our prayers. He's there whenever we need Him. He helps us with our problems. Though often times, we're the one who choose to step away from His presence, Heavenly Father is still there for us.

Even though I'm becoming less and less spiritual these days, I know that Heavenly Father will always be there to guide me and make my testimony strong again if I just ask for his help.

Our dearest Father in Heaven knows what we want even before we ask Him in prayers. But He will not give us what we want unless we ask Him personally through prayers. He wants us to depend on Him. He wants us to always remember Him.

Praying never failed me. Praying has always been and will always be the solution to my problems and the answer to my questions.

Stressed

2009-06-27T01:02:00.000-07:00

I'm 30% stressed because of our assignments. I have a very long list of it. Anyway, there is still at least 70% Happy.

I had so much fun yesterday. During our prayer meeting, I introduced my self to the other new comers. I was quite embarrassed when they mentioned my name, and I don't know them yet. I am so happy knowing them after that incident. HAHA! I will be having my covenant this coming July 05, 2009. I'm really excited, not so obvious eh? Really, I am. Then after I have my covenant, I can now join households! Yay! I can also serve during camps. Yay!

I already found out my favorite song: Sorry Sorry - Super Juniors, yeah... Its not yet the best so far but I haven't recovered after I listened to it. I recommend you to check it out. Its a Korean song by the way. Need lyrics? You go look for it by yourself. Take care!

Thankies! That in all things, God may be glorified!

As an Earthling

2009-06-21T22:38:00.000-07:00

HAVE you ever wondered why malls put at least two trash cans in one corner—one labeled “biodegradable” and the other “non-biodegradable”?

Biodegradable and non-biodegradable are actually two different kinds of garbage. Well, you know that already but I'll still tell you.

Biodegradable materials are those that rot, like all kinds of food, paper, animal poop, plant leaves and other parts of plants and trees. Non-biodegradable wastes are those that do no rot like plastic, glass and metal. You get it? HAHA!

Biodegradable stuff can be made into fertilizers to fatten the soil and make plants grow better. Non-biodegradable stuff can be reused or made into other useful things. For example, softdrink bottles can be cleaned and refilled or they can be smashed and heated up to make new bottles. Let's learn how to recycle. Check these out:

http://earth911.com/recycling/

http://www.epa.gov/recyclecity/

Houses like yours and mine should also separate these different kinds of garbage. We should have two trash cans, one for biodegradable and the other for non-biodegradable trash. You can put labels and signs on each and tell your little sister and brother where to throw different kinds of stuff.
If you want to make some money that you can put in your money box or bank, you can also collect the newspapers that mom and dad had finished reading and other used paper. You can bring your collection of old newspapers and used paper on the first Saturday of the month to SM City or to the nearest junk shop. The price per kilo of old newspapers and paper may not be much, but the more paper you have the more money you make.
Anyway, I want to be a doctor or a veterinarian but what I want most is to become an environmentalist. Maybe you want to be an environmentalist too? Let us be united! yay. Always remember that "Recycling is good!"

Another Influenza Victims

2009-06-20T23:48:00.000-07:00

I've heard the news about 8 new victims of the A(h1n1) virus.

Health officials said Saturday that eight people were added to the list of confirmed cases of influenza A (H1N1) in Central Visayas, three of them students of a university in Mandaue City.

As of now, UCLM is at Level 3. At this level, school administrators are advised to declare a 10-day suspension of classes. Oh, they're quite lucky but, I don't want this to happen in our school.

The government discouraged the public against self-medication and warned them against those claiming to have a vaccine for human use against influenza A (H1N1) and I really agree because we are not yet professionals so please, it is better to be sure than to be sorry.

All three UCLM students who contracted H1N1 came from Luzon. The scholarship provided by NSA has beneficiaries from all over the country. DOH-Central Visayas officials asked all the NSA scholars, excluding the seven previously tested, to submit swab samples for lab testing.

In my past entry, I stated that many people have died because of this influenza. But I think the A(h1n1) virus is not very complicated than the normal flu. I can't explain why I thought so. Well, my thoughts are unique. HAHA!

That in all things GOD may be glorified.

Getting Ready

2009-06-17T22:15:00.000-07:00

Its already 1:10 pm. This coming 1:50, we will be having a quiz in math. I'm really nervous because from our past worksheets, I have not tried getting a good score, not once! I'm hoping to score much later. I've studied last night but not all lessons covered for the test. May GOD BLESS ME!

Unpropitious Day

2009-06-16T05:36:00.000-07:00

Yes, it has been a bad day. I had a verrryyyy painful headache. It was so terrible. I was not able to talk much unlike my usual hobby. Later on, I realized, maybe I was already infected with the famous virus in our country - A(H1N1) Virus. I hope its not true. Haha! I don't want to die yet. But now, I just found out that my headache was the cause of my fever right now that is why I'm not as energetic as what I was before.

Tomorrow, we are assigned to clean the roads or streets of the Barangay Basak - my school's location. I hope it will be very successful and happy. I also hope that I will find the cure of my fever.My fever is the reason of my lonliness today. One of the reason why I consider this as a bad day. I've got a lot to bring for tomorrow's activity but unfortunately I don't have them, I still need to buy and I think it will delay me from being punctual.

Arrrgghhh! When will this stop?! Later. Haha! Alright. I'll wait and become patient for God. Keep the ball rolling. Ayus! That in all things, God may be glorified!

Independence Day

2009-06-13T00:37:00.001-07:00

Haha! It is not yet too late for me to make a blog about what happened yesterday.

Yesterday, Filipinos celebrated their "Independence Day". I'm a Filipino and I'm proud to be one. Nothing special happened during that event. I did normal things as a student. I did my homework and finished my tasks in the house. But earlier that morning, my classmates went to someone's house. We practiced our presentation for our next week's exercise. It was amazingly successful. We also watched Princess Hours. HAHA! It was still fun though. I'm not a fan, but I find it really cute.

Anyway I'm currently listening to my playlist in imeem. My best playlist so far.

http://www.imeem.com/people/LNoFMAe/playlist/O4TZzPZH/praise-and-worship-music-playlist/

Yeaaah! Its cool, I know. Haha! I'll try to make it more updated soon. May God Bless the Earth!

We're so Unlike

2009-06-12T00:43:00.000-07:00

What a day! I had so much fun bonding with my friends. We roamed around everywhere we can.
We learned new dance steps, we learned special manners, and especially we learned what TEAM WORK really is. Thats it with today's happenings, let me tell you what happened yesterday in STEC.

Yesterday was the Acquaintance Party of our school - (STEC). I had so much fun, and I know that the others had too. We met new faces and new attitudes from the 1st year class. I was really amazed when the 1st years presented and I was totally like "WOAH". They're amazing! Because if I compare it to our years before, I would say "We were not like that at all!". How I regreted the past when I realized our mistakes during our class meetings and discussions when we were on our 1st years in HS. We were not united, because of pride. Unlike the 1st years that really made us become pretty jealous or shall I say, really made us so proud. They presented nice yells, a cute comical skit and participated properly during our games. Anyway, my team (Yellow Team) won the 2nd place in the Amazing Race which made me become happier. I am really HAPPY!
Enough with the 1st years, HAHA! Generally, I enjoyed the party so much. Our former classmates even came to celebrate the event with us. Without team work and faith, the event would not be so enthusiastic.

Once more, I thank GOD for another successful event and may it be endless so that we will always feel happiness. And for that, May GOD be praised!
AMEN!

Starfish!

2009-06-10T06:01:00.000-07:00

For me, they are very interesting creatures belonging to the class Asteroidea. They have a rough surface and they come in different, bright colors. Starfishes or sometimes called sea stars, are widely used for decorations and are collected by many people all over the world. I'd like to start a starfish collection someday, too. Big or small, bright or dark, they all look wonderful. Here are some interesting facts I discovered about starfishes.

+ Some starfishes have more than 5 arms. Cool!
+ They use their feet to move around the ocean floor and to open scallops or clams.
+ They have two stomachs.
+ They have a mouth! It can be located underneath their upper surface.
+ Starfishes actually have microscopic eyes at the end of every arm they have.
+ The coolest fact: In case a starfish loses one of its arm, it is able to regenerate another one!

So they are indeed very complex creatures. No wonder I love strolling by the seashore and scrounging for starfishes.

First Week

2009-06-05T07:48:00.000-07:00

I'm currently feeling like being devastated. Ahh, bad, bad, bad! I was really worn out during classes because of being so tired. Listening to discussions while I am being so dizzy. But I can stand all depressions with God. Thank you Lord!

Anyway, despite of our busy schedule, we still managed to have FUN! by sharing our stories during our free times and sharing our new learned knowledge together. No matter how hard it is to cope up with STEC's curriculum, I will always try my BEST-est to graduate in that school! yay

My generalization would be, FIRST WEEK was tiring yet very fun.
I will hope for happier weeks as we go on to our journey of life.

-GOD BLESS ALL CREATIONS-

06 - 01 - 09

2009-05-30T21:55:00.000-07:00

Are you prepared? Or just acting like you are? I thought so!

Who would not scream for anger about this very bad news. "June 1 mag klase ang STEC-HS!". I really consider this as a BAD NEWS! Why June 1, despite the confirmation of the country's first influenza A (H1N1) victim. The DOH earlier recommended that the opening of classes in public elementary and secondary schools on June 1 should push through, since there is no community-level outbreak of the disease.
Ahh! But I heard some news that the DepEd still lacks 200 000+ teachers for their schools. I suggest they find teachers first before they announce an official date for the classes to start. HAHA!
Our school, or should I say, our classroom is located just beside the airport. Maybe we will be influenced by the A (H1N1) virus by the air particles from the airplanes that passes by. But I don't really know how that virus is passed by a person to another. HEHE!

Anyway, I want to leave a message to the other students that is also feeling the burden.

MESSAGE: Go us nalang! :(

My Bestfriend

2009-05-29T03:18:00.001-07:00

Who is Jesus Christ to me?

This was topic in the 2nd talk we had during our Youth camp.
It happened last May 15-17. It was really fun,
really inspiring and most of all, it changed me so much.

At first, I had a very hard time thinking of an answer to that
question. But why? Why ba! HEHE-- It was because I am not sure if
I am honest to my answers. If I say "for me, He is my BROTHER".
Would He say I'm His sister too? ARRGGHH! Why did I think of that?
Is Jesus Christ's love for us not enough to think that it is so much.
He is a Listening Brother, a Caring Best friend, a Loving Parent...
and so much more. So I told them, "YES! He is my brother and I am His sister."
Wahh! My heart was relieved!

Thank You Lord for giving me the courage to stand up for You!
AMEN

Crazy Thoughts

2009-05-09T01:45:00.000-07:00

I think it's funny in movies or TV shows whenever any character can read the thoughts of another character and the other person's thoughts are always in really clear, easy to understand and correctly structured sentences.

You never get a show where someone can read someone's thoughts and the other person sounds like this:

Person's thoughts: uhhhhhhh.....Golden Grahams...yeah righ-hey! ....... Gonna take a lot to drag me awwwwwwaaaaaaaay from you....doo dooo doo doo doo dooooo doo more can never do..whaaaaaaaaat?! youuu ohhh nooo? destrooooooy

If entertainment was more realistic it might not make much sense, but at least it would be honest!
I'm not entertained much anymore. REALLY! I hope they would make some changes. MWAHAHA!

HAHA! Right?
