2008 MAAP(Maritime Academy of Asia and the PAcific) Results, I pass!

The Maritime Academy of Asia and the Pacific(MAAP) recently conducts an Entrance Examination in our region last September. It was held in the Notre Dame of Dadiangas University-High School Department. It was participated by a number of hopeful aspirants from different social backgrounds, and at last the results now are here.

Oh my God, I can't believe it, I definitely passed the entrance Examination. I'm not really focused on it, because I want to stay in our place for very private matters, that's why I just take the exam lightly. But ,maybe this is my destiny, the day were on a Boy Scout matters, one of my friends approach me and handed me a paper. To my surprise its the MAAP results, or as they often call it, the 2013 Class Of applicants, oh yes I truly passed the preliminary Test.

And until now I'm still on a cloud Nine, haha. We are four From our School who take the Exam but unfortunately only three of us make it. That's me, Bientot, Mr. Bryan Tunguia, and Mr. Gwenathan Antheo Lorca. Yes we are of those bruty types, if you have come to see us three walking in the lane you would probably said that we, three can block the sun from shining(OA), yes but that's true, we are all three possesses the height requirements and even ,yeah, were tall indeed.

But the unhappy part of the shimmering news is that we three need to go to Cebu to have our last Examination there, that will cost much, OMG. And the other sad part is our Christmas party(tentative) is set on December 19, and only I of the the three is scheduled on December 21, and the other two is on 22, which means I'll miss my party just to go there because the over-all trip takes days, and money.

But all in all that is indeed a very good news, even though it never crossed my mind to become a seafarer that is still okay, maybe that the career set for me.

Life is indeed surprising, who could think that I will be ending up in this kind of endeavor, but who knows you may also be astound of the road you will later take on your life. But as the old saying goes "Nasa Diyos and awa, nas tao ang gawa".

Have a nice day everyone.

Back from the Hospital

Hi there guys! I have been missing blogging for almost two weeks. And that's because of my sucking health condition.

Haha, it's not really sucking, but I have just caught a disease. It was week that I wasn't feeling well, and then last Friday I feel my body were starting to swell. Then I rest in the school clinic to set things favorably for me. But I know it myself that it will not help me either. So after the very tiring day, I got home like a battered veggie. And to hide my illness I directly go to my room, and secretly call my mother, and explain her the thing going on me. Expected she check my vital signs and was shocked to find out that my body is scorching. Well it take a day, the next day before my parents finally decided to admit me in the hospital.

In there I have a little, if that what should it be. Actually it was below zero. The ON nurses there are still students and they first missed my vein, so they inject me again with a needle(too good I don't belong to the majority who curse needles.haha). And then I open my consciousness in my room, numbered 254. The medicines they let me take tastes hell. And then the nebulizer really sucks, the smell, you know?

But my almost-four day stay there open me to some things EVERYONE should never forget. It's your utmost care to your self. During the last days, I was torturing my body, it was partly because to the incoming Physical Examination for the College I'm planning to enrol in. Then partly to my worst basketball habits. My stay there revitalized my being, that I'm not as robot but a mere human. That my hygiene wasn't doing fine. It made me realize ideas.

In this rhythmic life, as I always call it, there are lots of things to consider, to do, and not to do. But let's not let the fact perish in our mind that are own body is still the bottomline of our future and success. That even with the keenest person still have ONE body. The body gifted from above that we should take care and set with convenience. TO ALL YOU GUYS WATCH YOUR HEALTH!

Mindanao Week of Peace 2008 is on the go

The 2008 Mindanao Week of Peace (MWOP) is on the 27th of November to December 3.

It is but a sad truth that Mindanao has been engulfed with very biased views. It the view of a land of warring people. But that's is not always the case. So this time the concern people of the archipelago initiated a Week of Peace, a week of harmony, harmony to the land, rhythm to the diverse culture, respect to the tribal people, and hymn to the order of living.

Actually I just recently heard about this event the last day. It was just a fine ordinary day to me, when surprisingly I was told by one of our teacher in the school to attend a Essay Writing Contest regarding this noble event. My mood that time was not obviously with writing, it was of an ordinary cheerful school day. I have to choice but to agree, anyway it will be ,again, a learning session for me. But everything went fine when I was on the actual venue of the contest. When I arrived there, the staff give me a pin(that one in the picture), well they don't explain anything about that.

As the event goes on, I learned that it was a pre-week activity. An activity conducted before the MWOP. And just before that day, another event was conducted, it was a poster-making contest. Anyway, there are lots of activities still to be commenced. For more information about the contest click here.

The Essay Writing contest flows good. It was attended by a number of school. But I was just amaze on the staff of the event on how they persuade us to write a free-lance essay, it wasn't ordinary. The staff asks us to write a proposal essay in any language we are comfortable with, and that is about how the youth could partake sincere contributions to the peace and order situation in Mindanao. Luckily I succeed in writing a piece, surely it will not win.haha

But the core idea of the event is indeed noble. In its intention, its vision and its mission. Hope all of us will be sensitive to the peacefulness of our beloved island, the Mindanao. And I would like to quote the closing remarks of the emcee.

" The people who best travel the road are those that assures the next traveler's convenience"

May God bless us all.

Joey Ayala to perform on Munato Festival '08

Yeah that is absolutely true. Joey Ayala will perform on Munato Festival.

Well, last day I was called by one of my classmate and ask me to buy a ticket regarding the concert of Mr. Joey Ayala in our Munato Festival 2008, the theme this year is Ang Galing mo Sarangan (You are good Sarangan).I am not an avid fan of him, but I'd heard and read some awesome things about him. So just I always do ,I surf the net for information about Mr. Joey Ayala and I'm amazed on who really was him. And then I remember my physics teacher is a fan of him. This are the things I've found.

Joey Ayala (born June 1, 1956) is a contemporary pop music artist in the Philippines. He is well known for his style of music that combines the sounds of Filipino ethnic instruments with modern pop music. His professional music career started when he released an album recorded in a makeshift-studio in 1982. To date, he has released six albums.
Some of the Filipino ethnic instruments Ayala is known to use include the two-stringed Hegalong of the T'Boli people of Mindanao and the 8-piece gong set, Kulintang melodical gong-rack of the predominantly Muslim peoples of the southern part of the country. He also uses modern instruments in his music, such as the electric guitar, bass guitar, and drums.
He is one of the few Filipino contemporary songwriters who insists on putting his creative energies at the service of cultural/social development, so much so that he has ventured directly in to non-formal education - the running of workshops demonstrating the use of arts as a language for education.

Why do I blog? A confession

Yeah why do I blog?

Or let's put it in the majority,why do everyone else blog? Really, why? Maybe for the monetizing scheme it offer. Or maybe to the public pulpit it caters. Or to influence other thoughts. But me,why do I blog?

I hear the word blogging not for so long. It has been ,now, three months. Yes and though I still put myself always into this virtual world I just can't get the thing in here. What does that mean? Well, I learn blogging as a way of making money, that was then. I just can't see the foundation of this vast building, or to put it mildly I can't thrive this world. I can't level those on the top. I don't get the page I wanted. I can't write the way I wanted. I can't seem to shout to the world what I really feels. And I don't see her knowing my efforts.

I have to see thing through. I've got to be transparent,as my friends always say. How's that actually? How in the world I will be transparent when everything else blocks my horizon. When every problem I encounter blur my insights. Still now I finding my true talent, if there is? I still guessing if writing was really my true ability. Writing is fun, but every time someone criticizes me, the public sees me accepting it and learning from it, well actually it builds the boulder in me that trying to break me down. Talking about talents. Do I have one? I try topping in the class, but I don't feel what would a normal person should feel. Yes I am happy to see my parents smile when I present them flattering grades. But in the true sense , do I deserve it? For me a big NO. Someone else working hard more deserve it, or do I just saying that because now I can't top the class. Right now it seems impossible to get the award my parents hopefully I will get. That's the just the true pressure in me right now, to make my parents proud of me. Most parents actually don't appreciate their children's full effort on making them proud and say "this is my child".

In the lover's dimension, I seem not to see any gold pot at the end of the rainbow, there is no rainbow in the first place.huhu. I don't actually know what's a lover should feel. And then everyone , those that think their the witful persons on earth, yell to me that I am very young to thronged this complicated "love". Oh yeah a sixteen-year old teen like me is young. My vibrant features jeopardize my tomorrow. But in the reality, someway around at the end of the road I will still face that dilemma. So is it wrong at this very young stage to learn a little in this world? No it isn't.

Hahayzz, sorry guys if this post is a nonsense confession of a brat like me. I just can't really take the things happening in the world now. This post had been changing direction, sorry for that. But I just wanna sung the colorful side of things.

Blogging had brought me wisdom. Wisdom to see things lightly. Blogging lift my spirit high and inflates my self-esteem. Blogging has just becoming a true opportunity. Blogging did a lot of of changes in me. Yes blogging had a lot to offer, but somehow, someway, blogging is just a resemblance of life. Just don't let the light put off, if you still want to see the world. Hehe

Walking under the rain

It is supposedly a literal walk under the rain but ,you know, everything don't come as you most expect it.

Walking in the rain is fun. Especially when the one walking with you is someone. But that doesn't mean it's forever, actually it's just for minutes.

Our feet is the asphalt road of the city

As the the puffy cottons in the sky is crying

But more than you know, my heart is in the happiest dimension in the world

It's just like when Aristotle yell" Eureka" , it was everything


The windows of my exhilarating soul are penetrating on your magnificent being

Every step I would like to be forever

But in the most realism in the world, It's just a mere imagination

But in all imagination I'd make, it's the best


And every time you turn your face when I ask purposely nonsense questions

Thought you should know my spirit is lift-up really high

Even ecstasy can never be an exchange

Cause in my very me, everything can never vie


And as the walk soon ended, the actual reason was never paid

But the butterflies around me fluffed in speed of mach number 2

And it almost got me in the middle air

But in most cases often it did, you never saw the existence it offers, too


And the reality covers again the dimensions of my world

And that day soon faded

As again the usual aroma between us is in the aisle

But the memoirs on that walk never was said


And yes, that momentary glimpse of heaven for me still is true

But for you, it was just mere favor I ask from you

Sweet moments are meant to be treasured

In the reality in you, it never was single woe


Hahayzz. That maybe can sum it up. It was really something for me. But soon it ended. And you seem not to mind it. I'm not really emotion-ventilator, but it just feels so good to free it from me. And the title goes, it was a walk under the rain, it's madly fun but you know it'll gonna make you sick.haha

My new Template

Hooray to my new template!

Hooray, hooray nyahahaha. Yehey after series of failures and sleepless hours, at last my new picked up template works. Well I've been searching for a new theme for my blog but unfortunately there are lots of themes but not even suit my taste. That is not to say that I am choosy, the truth is I'm not. I just don't get the lay-out I"ve been longing for. I am not conscious about my template color or whatsoever I just want to find a reader-friendly theme and a workable lay-out ,those that really offers a lot of things. So finally I found one, its not really that professional but I guess you will like this, just in case.haha

Please just comment on what you feel about my new template because I'm planning to stick for it for months, so it'll be better if I hear other opinions about my new template.

well this template we'll not be such without my friend, Mr. Drobert Latasa, you can also check his site, the link is located at the left side of my sidebar.

The Scribbler's scrib

When I was a child I never dream of becoming a writer, it never crossed my mind. I am a kid who would rather spend a day playing in sand that to read a single kiddie poem.But things do change, as just they say nothing is permanent.

My enthusiasm of becoming a writer starts when I am a grade one student. If you can still recall in grade school days there are lots of stuff written on the wall of every classroom. Those times I can't even read straightly, but I try to understand what written their on the wall. As the days passed by, and gradually years, I learned that those stuffs written on the wall of every classroom were saying or if not a quotes from a respected personality. For me ,that was the firm building block of my love for writing. Reading had been my hobby since then, but we don't much reading materials in our home so I settle myself on anything I read on my classroom, and even anywhere.

Reading has lot of things to offer, and that is really sure. That were the times that I learn to love the subject I hate, English. As as time goes by my eagerness for reading is suffice . I also want to be read, I also want to be heard, I also want to write. But unfortunately writing is not as easy and comfortable a s reading. Writing is completely different thing. Even if its really have relationship with reading, it didn't suit me well. So just like every innocent child, I quit my passion for writing, for I guess it not my passion. Things become lighter when I was in grade five that a teacher approach me and ask me to join a journalism contest, which I suppose they just don't have any choice so they pick me up. But that's not the thing there, the writing contest I join is a press conference. I am just lucky that I won there and join the regional level , but of course failed even to be just a finalist in the national level.

Well to cut this long story telling short, at present I am now the editor-in-chief of our schoolpaper in english, but sometimes the thought of failure is still running in my mind. I am always scolded by my schoolpaper adviser for doing lots of fault, and being irresponsible on things assigned to me. I want to tell my adviser that I am not simply a journalist,I am a writer. Know what's the difference? For me being a writer is a passion and being a journalist is by profession, but I'm sure I'll be receiving lot of horrific scolds for that very OA stuff.haha

But for all the potentials starting writers out there, don't ever lost your passion. For every literate can write but few have been given the talent to inspire, motivate and influence, that only a true writer can do.

Of Friends and Lovers

I'd rather be a friend, than a shadow lover.

In life, there are things thats works mysteriously. I am an ignorant, I should confess but I see also the world in lighter views.


Just recently I have been observing the people around me, my classmates and friends. Well I just a bit amaze on how you can see other people when you are really keen observing. And I can say you can tell what they feel for other people, or someway like that. We can not deny of the repulsive emotions stability of the youth, that is ,of course part of growing. I want to tackle this "crush" matter. I guess everyone had been to this state except if they been given a steel heart, which is unlikely because ,yeah, everyone have emotion. It is to be human to have crush, my teachers from the my grade school always remind me.

Being a friend is fascinating thing. I can't imagine what my world would be if I don't even a single friend. But a sad reality comes into my mind sometime this days that being a lover and being a friend somehow sets limits. Well I suppose everyone had been through this dilemma. The truth is, for me, being a close friend is someway around better that being a lover. Why? based upon experience, people often are "naiilang" when they know someone do have a different feeling toward him/her. That will unfortunately lead someone to avoid the person much that gradually builds a fence between friendship, which is the sad part of being a lover. I am confused why does someone exhibit this act, how in the world they avoid someone who is just admiring her or feeling distinctly toward him/her.

This may sound I'm very much authorized to talk about this matter, well in fact I just wander in this place for just sixteen years. But to be frank, I really wanna know things happening in my world and this blog of mine had been my refuge when everyone doesn't want to hear my view and opinions. So this time I wanna know your point also. Please just try to help me understand such things , thank you.

Examination Week is tomorrow

We'll be diving in hell few hours from now.

Haha, that was exaggerated that was exactly what you would feel if an examination week is coming. Well after a grading of boring lessons the very good teacher of ours will finally put their evil plan into materialization.

At the the other side of me, examination is good, indeed good. We go to school for what? To spend a day chatting senseless talks, playing damn games or simply staring at the ceiling until a lizard fell into your mouth(yucky). Well I also do that, frequently but I know it myself I wasn't doing nice. Until such time I'm regretting my infatuation. I guess don't be like me(hey that was before).

Yeah the day is tomorrow. The week we've bee running away from. A sort of advise study the lessons and always pray! That is the best way to outdo the exam.(and cheat safely).

I wanna thank Mr Drobert Eirven Latasa for helping me a lot with my template. i love you drobert eirven. Visit his blog at this site http://makarovtale.blogspot.com/.

May God bless us all.

Love, love and love

Love was never love!

That was the very words my adviser was saying to me last day! Love was never love. You might be wondering what does it mean. The truth is I don't really know. Well I have been in this institution for quite some time now and its no wonder I've been hearing those like of words for almost four years, but this time it wasn't normal and it did really strike my mind's Achilles nerve(do we have that?haha).

I have been in love, I guess. I am pretty much sure I'm not sure(haha). I know love for years, it has been an act of kindness for me then. But as I grew up, love had change it identity unnoticingly. At present I am a senior student in a regional science high school and I'm doing fine, except for that love that's always bothering me.

My friend once told me that I wasn't doing what I routinely do and he insisted that I was always absent-minded. I was molded as an open-minded person so I asked him if he's serious and he replied yes. That words of my friend did leave a thought for me. Yeah I was, that time, been stocked to a girl in our campus. She is quite, well, beautiful. She is a kind of girl that really catches an attention of a guy like me. I just can't figure out what I was really feeling toward her. I thought that was it,you know, love. Love caters herself to me those times a glimpse of her, her supah smile that really catches my whole being and her sweet little tantalizing eyes.

That small feeling toward her grow much, really much. I start using cellular phones, which I wasn't doing very much. Well I should also be confessing that this girl made a lot contributions to my character building, even though she hasn't noticed it. I start to be watching my every move which is not normal for me. I start polishing everything I do. Well in short the girl become an inspiration to me.

The problem is that my torpeness(shyness). I am not that much secretive person so she knew that I wasn't feeling ordinary to her, which unfortunately lead her to avoid me much. Well that little discrepancy was solved by the cellular phone(haha). Thought you should know at present we're doing fine, minus the teachers biased views.

Well to relate things out, I was confronted by our advisor last day. Asking me that I should not let stuff like those I mention above ruin my focus and grades. When I and my adviser was talking, I know I've got to ask her also. I my adviser if what's love for her, for a teacher and an individual. Well you should know what she said to me. she said" Love is when to agree wholeheartedly to of all your responsibilities to a woman, to feed her and give her descent life, that's love for me. I was a bit amazed how my adviser who is always scolding our batch for such matters define it herself. But his last words are this " the thing you are feeling now is not love , it is just a mere infatuation and lust. You are still young and thing lies ahead you are countless, don't let that love of yours steal your bright future from you".

That was idea crawling in my mind these times. But the truth is I don't agree with adviser 100% but I just don't have the courage to argue with her whatsoever.

I think love at this very young age, is yes, not love at all. But I do also believe that this are just harsh lessons of life. The lesson we will never learn if we don't have the guts to follow what our hearts tell us.

But still I say, Love is love.

I need your writings!

Oh yes , I need your writings!

( Sorry but this are only for ANSHS students).
Well that speaks up of whole scribblers stuff. The Scribblers, by the way, is the Alabel's National Science High School's official Publication.

Writing have been a vital and innumerable contributor in entire human cycle. It has been the language of history, a picture of the truth, a outlet of almost everything. But few have been gifted with inborn pen in their hand, some have just been Lucky. So if you have been such then you have story to tell and a shout to be heard.


So if your interested in writing or had been writing and would like your stories and opinions to be heard in the campus, then don't hesitate to be one of us. Feel free to submit your pieces in this form:

Name:
Year and Section:
Field: (that can be any from news to editorial to feature, but if you don't know which niche it belongs, just leave blank the stuff will take care of that)

My piece:


(The staff may edit you piece for brevity)

Don't worry your effort won't go to waste. If you piece fit our taste then don't be surprised to see your name soon in our school paper. But if unfortunately it doesn't you'll still be getting credit for that.(well the adviser will give extra-curricular points for your ink, joke)

THEN SUBMIT IT TO MY E-MAIL AD, bienjeffersonunabia@gmail.com OR JUST HAVE COMMENTED HERE. JUST LOOK FOR THE COMMENTS IN THIS POST AND ROLL IT THERE.( for any inquiries please feel to do so, just, still, comment here)

God bless us all.

A young scholar's experience on the 2nd Mindanao Bloggers Summit and E-business Week

A mouthful of short exhilirating experience!

Well that sums it up. My experience a young scholar able to attend a Mindanao-wide bloggers and seeing the E-Business week held at the tuna Capital of the Philippines was unexceptionally awesome and most of all inspiring.

The truth is I'm a bit doubtful if whim of time would allow me,neophyte as a small innocent kid, to to attend the said events.

But to cut the long story short, I am now in my couch reminiscing the unforgettable and encouraging history held at Gensan.

Blogging the Mindanao consciousness. That was exactly the core idea the event spun on. It is to graphically and gradually change the biased image the Mindanao island is seen on the north. To brandish the rich culture in our archipelago and to expose our hidden myriad of opportunities lying behind the mere Mindanao.

But there are also light things discussed in the summit. Those are small tips in blogging that made some established blogs in our country. There are also entrepreneurial hints that the summit's speaker cater to the group. There shout-outs or in other words the experience of some chosen bloggers in their field of blogging. There is also an open forum which unexpectedly leads to a discussion of crucial matters in Mindanao as a whole.

Well when it comes to the accommodation and food served in the summit, all I can say is wow! With all of those sumptuous delicacies served, especially on Sashimi Night. Well the summit never failed to leave a space in every bloggers heart wit the beauty of General Santos City.

All in all the Mindanao bloggers Summit 2 was a success, very successful really. It made me realize things that can never be taught in school(haha). It is to be an active blogger on your will but to be responsible individual on taking the mindanao to its deserved horizon, the mindanao as an archipelago of progress and peace!

The Summit will never be such without the generosity of the following sponsors:

Back onto the drivers seat!

The last time I was holding the steering wheel of my own vehicle was indeed long.

Well I don't really have my own car or whatsoever I was just referring to my life. It was a couple of weeks now since I publish my last post. Those tiring weeks was solely spent on numerous school activities which unfortunately consume my whole enthusiasm leaving a blank space for blogging! But now,yehey, back into my couch on the car of my damn life running it me myself!

Even though in that point of view those weeks was still deserving to be called a lesson. Let' me just give you a hint on what was happening when my ordinary wasn't routinely repeated.

DSPC ( Division School's Press Conference) - that was, yeah, a press conference of students in our division which seeks to enhance the existing young talents. Well I'm not bragging that I won some contest there.haha. I won second place in Editorial Writing and first place in tagisan ng talino(battle of intellects).

The annual Intramural in Our school- no need to say what it is. But thought you should know it wasn't ordinary for me this year. It was indeed fun, except this cat fights of different years which ,of course, I did not let my temper ruin that day and join their infatuation.haha

The Councilwide Jamborette and Kawan holiday- It was, honestly, a suicide! It was formally just a scouting event in an simple place. But everything went sucking when we do everything in our own. haha.But its reminiscing!

The MATH OLYMPICS- I don't know how I get there in the first place. The truth is I am not one of those math geeks. Well I don't how in the world our math teacher told me to join one event there. We won second place in the MATH TRAIL , but we deserve more than that!

THE 2ND MINDANAO BLOGGERS SUMMIT- Rise up Mindanao and showthem your glamour! Well that what exactly how I understand it!

Don't worry about unfinished work pal. I'm going to elaborate it more just a minute after this post.haha

I've got so much to tell you about it. PROMISE

Mindanao Bloggers Summit 2, I am joining pals

"MINDANAWAN, PAMINAWON INTAWON: Blogging the Mindanao Consciousness."



The 2nd Mindanao Bloggers Summit will be held in the tuna Capital of the Philippines this coming late october and I'm very sure this will be a great opportunity for the concerned bloggers in our area to heard and discuss crucial issues in the archipelago.

The Mindanao is a beautiful archipelago located bottom of the Philippines and it is endowed with marvelous seas surrounding its beaches, full of luscious fruits, spectacular and diverse culture or in short have great opportunities for upliftment. But unfortunately this was masked by many unwanted problems in recent. I guess this summit will best contribute to lessen the boulder of mindanao and help it shine.

So much for that, actually, I am working a bit hard just attend this summit. I am new to the blogosphere and things like this can help me a lot. This could possibly a gatepass to higher degree blogging.

But thinking this a mindanao-wide summit that will be thronged with professional personalities and respected icons makes very nervous. Yeah that is very nervous. I expect to see men in formal suits, ladies in well-graced manner and a lot more not very familiar with me. I am a very simple guy living nicely in a simple growing town. Attending such thing is strange for me. But I'm hopeful I get along with this. I guess my teacher could help me(I guess he will be also attending this)

.So that's it. The summit carries its nice theme with it. This can and should be a ladder for mindanawons to be heard, and also help the island in many ways. So guys see you soon.

Thank you to the following for making 2nd Mindanao Bloggers Summit possible:

Enlightenment in a short while

The top five and the finalist of the Mutya ng Alabel 2008

That was me and jacque. Jacque was the 2nd runner and Ms. Congeniality.( Where am i looking at?)

Cheer batch ten! That was the energetic batch ten cheerers and the contestants.(I'm the one with the flashlight)

How do you spell gorgeous? No need to spell, just look at this!

I am learning everytime. Everytime I lose. Everytime someone loses. Sometimes when I win. Learns when someone beats me up. The thing is that acquiring wisdom is continous, it never stops. This are past wisdom I gathered from my sorroundings. Hoping you'll get something.

I've been out in the net for almost two weeks now and my eagerness had piled up high. Two weeks was more than enough for me to think of a hundred topics. But I decided to post about the things that really have sense for everyone.

*****

First I wanna discuss blogging. You know I am new in the blogosphere, so obviously I am not familiar with the culture. I try some things. I add some ads, for small reveneu. Add some blingees to my site and always post. The problem is that I am not exactly sure of what to write. I try to be chronological, to be systematic. And I post directly what on my mind. And then I promote my site to my friends and batchmates. I said if they have time, they can visit this site and leave a comment. I am thankful that some did and even criticize or maybe check my work. So thank you. Keep goings gals. Due to this I am quitely deceived. I post unimportant things. The thing going in my mind is to somewhat brag my work which ruin my focus and consistence. So I am happy to regain my conciousness due also to some friends of mine. And at present I had been working with some stuffs about my profile, so if your versed with this, please do help me. Just contact my mail or comment.

- learned how to cope with my readers, especially on the style of my writing.

-learned that my writing this past days have been should we say opinionated and a bit braggy.

And I am very thankful to my friends for their comments and suggestion, especially to Irish. I guess we should always be open-minded.

Let's change direction. On my older post I made write the Mutya ng Alabel, it was by the way a local beauty pageant in our town. The results are fine, but pretty far from my expectations. The pageant night was awesome. But I really hate filipino cultures when it comes to time management. Imagine, it was supposedly should start at 7pm but it was extended for two hours due to business matters, you know. But the long wait also unravel our energetic being, the being of support. So the wait was a bit helpful, it gathers the cheering squad of our school.

The light was set off. The ambiance started to change. In short the pageant was formally commenced. It was highlighted with doxology and introductory dances and then followed by first stage walk of the contestants. When jacque and melay(our representives and schoolmates) was in the stage the crowd started to yell. I really don't want to join the cheerers but the aura readily spread off, it did hit already before i realize. Then it was followed by the long Gown, Swimsuit attire and the stuff I've been waiting for. That was exactly the Q & A portion. The contestants were called by number but the questions is set at random. As what I could hear, the questions was pretty simple but also a bit witty. The contestant's anwer did not suit my taste, but who am I to judge? I can imagine the pressure on that stage in the first place, the crowd and then the sheer anticipation of everybody. So I can never judge.

The said moment of truth was on air. The announcement of the top five finalist was suffice, I want to know the final result, I'd almosty forgot that there still one question to be asked for the five finalist. Yehey jacque and Melay joined the tough five slots. If they can only see my screams, they'll be surprised. But I'm holding the flashlight

whahahah. The final question sucks. It's nonsense. It's about Deal or no deal situation. But it is still okay, I'm not that the judge by the way.

And then the time everyone is waiting is at very presence. tsang ta dadang. The was particularly the announcement of awardees and winners. Jacque received the congenialty award and ranked 2nd runner up and Carmela place at third runner up. I know they deserve more than and If I am the judge they two will be the champions. whahah.

LESSON LEARNED.

Never judge, for you never what it's like to be somebody else.

Stay positive but prepared, you will always reap what you sow.

*** Yeah I learned so much from everything. From people far smarter than me. From happenings that pushes me out of my comfort zone. From other's mistake. We always need to acquire wisdom but never forget to take a deep breathe and laugh, then relax and PRAY.

Exemplary Mentor

(Standing From fright to left) Mr. Ariel Lalisan, Mr. Marco Cavan, ( my physics and Social Studies

teachers, respectively) and the rest are my schoolmates.

They really teach us teach things we don't know, mold us to be a worthy citizen, and most of all constitutes most to our charcater building.

More or less , I suposse, you have interacted with a teacher or at least just saw them around. Do you ever wonder what they really meant for?

Guru , coach , instructor, lecturer or whatever you call them , I guess they have been a part of your life, at least at some point.

I myself had seen, mingled, and even become a simple teacher. At this very young age I had been tought by hundreds of teachers. And I can say that they're really exceptional. Just last day I'd post about our school and its effects on persons like me. There I 'd written that the most influential people to me are my teachers. They teach us. That's they're primary use. But they've been to that profession for deeper purposes.

During my first part of becoming a student I think teachers just let us know things we can learn even by ourselves and they're happy seeing their students stumble. Days, months and years passed and I learned something substantial about it. I learned that they are up to something, something very great in our life.

I have met different kinds of teachers. The serious ones, the jolly types, the brutty commanders, the sweet moods and the witty ones. But they are the same in the sense that they let you cherish your days, dangle your mind, focus on things and learn from your mistakes.

My highschool teachers are the most weighty of them all. I have been acting rude since then, and what in my mind is that its cool to be like it. My teachers prove things to me. Teach me to be responsible. They inculcated to me uncountable values. Teach me on how to focus on something, to analyze problems. To arrange chronologically. To solve effectivety. To dream ambitiously. To write things I want. To disprove hearsays. To interact right. And many gutsy tips, scolds and how go to this life the way you want to be.

They are not mere not teachers, they are molders. Teachers can be your Mom or the Pal down the street. They can take to where ever you want.

I just want to end this post saying that my teachers are the carpenters of my house. They showed stuffs I can't appreciate by myself. And afterall they are the simple servants that unnoticingly keeps our world round and go, the way it should be.

Respect your teachers. Please

Jacque and Melay joins Mutya ng Alabel 2008.

(Left) Jacquelyn Ariete Mejia, (right) Carmela Posa Latoja. My two beautiful classmates who'll be joining the the Search for Mutya ng Alabel 2008, in accordance with the celebration of the Alabel's KASADYAAN FESTIVAL 2008.

First of all Alabel is my hometown. Every year we are celebrating the Kasadyaan Festival in honor and praise of the the bountiful harvest and blissed year. The Celebration highlights the tourist spot of the town, the diverse cultural traditions and a lot more. But for me the most prestigious event is the search for the lady of the town.

This time two of my classmates will be the joining the search and will be representing different institution of their choice. They are chosen by the school staff to showcase their charm and intellect to the alabelians. To display their unbearable flairs and to advocate development in our town. Let me introduce my deserving classmates.

At the left is my two-year consecutive classmate Ms. Jacquelyn Ariete Mejia. An angel from above dressed in human form and blessed with poetic radiancenessto attract every man sight. When you saw here you'll witness God's ravishingly graceful creation. She is known in our school as jolly but sensitive lady. She oftens spends her idle time with her friends and I often see her looking straight at nothing(maybe she can't believe his really beautiful.haha.joke). Her elegance is distincted from a typical girl you'll see anywhere. Her cute face renders its reputation as an arabian type of stunning appeal. She has a baby pinkish type skin which directly catches your attention. Aside fron her physical beauty, I myself had known Ms. Jacquelyn as well-mannered lady and graced girl which adds to her feminine eliteness. She is representing the Purok Maribulan.

At the right is my another pretty classmate, Ms. Carmela Posa Latoja. Ms. Carmela is one of the famous personalities in our campus. She really had a lot of admirers due to her atiitude and cuteness. I had known Carmela for four years and I can say she is absolutely stunning. Aside from being beautific, Carmela is also famed for her athleticism. A type of Goddess in mortal being who despite of her beauty is still down to earth and sweet. Her heart-shaped face readily captures a man's view due to its exquisiteness. Gifted with strong personality and physical fairness, Ms. Carmela will be representing the Alabel National Science high School.

I think that's enough to flatter even the stoic jerks. Hey folks see my angelic classmates, hahaha.

They are really deserving to join the pageant and display their alluring disposition.

The two ladies, endowed with unbearable harmonic splendidness, inspired by God and family and motivated by good inculcated values shall exhibit their talents and intellect to the people of Alabel and nearby places to promote development and order in the promising town.

I hope they will receive the fruitful result and just views of the judges. Good luck to both of you.

GO GO GO JACQUE CHEER CHEER. and melay. hehe

NCAE, unbearable pressure

NCAE or the National Career Assessment Examination puts a atom-hilled shoe on us.

The exam evaluates students’ general scholastic abilities but also adds several new test layers, including technical-vocational aptitude, occupational interests and entrepreneurial skills.
The new test components allow parents and their children to assess career options based on the students’ skills towards any field of interest. It can also be basis for students’ goals towards college and possible entrepreneurial capabilities.

-Inquirer

That was it supposedly, but it is different story in our institution.

Just recently I'd post about our school, it has very good reputation when it comes to the scholastic records which pressures us most. It had rank 4th nationwide last examinations and been garnering recognitions from different institution. This time its our batch turn to write the history again, not just write the previous history but outdo it.

We are the tenth group of scholars in the region XII science high school composed of 55 supposedly worthy individuals. During our four years in the curriculum we had been hersheyed as the poorest batch of all. Teachers always see us as repulsive and irresponsible students of all(there are exceptions of course). There are hundreds of issues in our batch. There are also good gal and bad jerks(I'm one of them). They even picture us out as undeserving sholars. They perceive us as outlaws of the society. But for me it's just okay to act like this because we are teens right? We are just starting to discover the world in much mature view. But I know also there are limitations.

This time our school is relying on us to record another elevated result and those are making us freaks. They are anticipating another outdid performance. I don't know. I suppose it's just an assessment exam. But their inculcating in us that's it our duty to write another history. I am a bit doubtful if it's our future or it's their elusive pride is hanging. We are ask to review this and study that. Scolding here scolding there. But there is one thing I'm quite sure about.

We are the scholars of our region,accept it or not we are pressured to excel. NCAE can be an oppurtunity for us to showcase our abilities or to downgrade our reputation. Whatever purpose it is, we should prove our worthy, verify our intellect and most of all show them our versatility.

Go go batchten. Go for gold.

Inamorata Alma Mater

That means my beloved school!

I'm not that reallly sweet kind of guy who acts like his a gay (I'm not degrading gays pal). But I just wanna say that despite of my rude attitudes and ungracious personalities our institution did inculcated something in me.

I am currently a senior student in a slight-prominent school in our region. I say slight because I don't want to boast. But eventhough our school is just neophyte in this field it has garnered a lot of awards. Anyway, four years of meandering in this school do have a result.

During the starting years in this secondary life seemed nonsense to me. I act like going to school was just a joke. I frequent spend my idle time in computer games. Basketball then was comsuming most of my time in school. I found my grades to be of victim of my dismal deeds. Years passed and I slowly learned something , something I think I am not passioned to learn.

During the course of my stay in the academia of mine resulted to a very tragic outcomes. I recorded a lot of faults. I Did a lot of unconsidearable mistakes, those that almost kicked my butt out of the school, but I'm thankful it didn't.

Just like a penetrating gentle water delving into a solid cemented wall, every piece of advice and scolds on me by my teachers and parents mold my attitude now(I;m not saying that I'll stick to this character I have a lot to learn). But the most influential part of those was the witty admonitions of my mentors. Those really triggers me to develop my manner toward my school the way it is in present. I now consider the circumstances of my actions, try to be sensitive of companion's feeling and do my studies well.

I am not writing this to boast myself or displaying my good side, I am typing these very words for you, students or anyone, to appreciate the things that tells you what's the right things to do. I am yelling this because I want to share the lessons, not just scholarly lessons, lessons that shaped me up.

Inamorata Alma Mater, yeah again I just want to thank the school, the Alabel National Science High School, for expolsutating valuable lessons of life...What you sow is what you reap...

Love your school. Please.

The Learnings of a Day

Each is day is a gift, a blessing, a struggle, and a damn ordinary twenty-four hour suicide.

If you'll ask yourself how many days had you spent on this planet you'll be surprised. Just imagine how many times you can change your entire life or at least improve it. How many times you can watch spongebob or wash yourself or check your room. How many wasted days have you spent wandering in the mirror trying to fix your hair. How hundreds of your days have been focused on improving yourselves, rather than your character. But as the saying goes everything happens for a reason.

When you woke in the morning and found yourself stocked on deciding what to do or what not to do always consider the circumtances of your action or missed action for you may be regreting it forever. Always think a thousand times, or even just once, before you do something. Imagine if you just had perceive that you'll probably fail your test and have your study sessions in advance, you might not spent your entire day explaining to your mon that exams are curse. If you just visualized that you'll force your bones to surrender on your damn hike, you'd probably decided to stay home and have a cool relaxing music gig. If you'd conceive that Newton's epiphany under the innocent apple tree caused your mind to blast its nerve cells on the ceiling you'd probably made a sign that reads " apples triggers heartattack keep away!"..haha(joking). But it isn't like that.

I myself had hundreds of mistakes in short while in this planet. But it is true that everything happens for a reason, and that's for sure. The learnings of a day can not be as evidents as baking a pie. It takes time, patience and wisdom to realize things out. Just imagine if you had your study sessions because your mom told you to do so and had not realize it you yourself that simple studying is the building block of success would you be the Suma cum Laude of your batch?. Just imagine if you not decided to go on a field trip because you are afraid if your legs can take it, you wouldn't be reminiscing your simple unforgetable moments on a hill. Just think if you'd stop Newton in discovering the fundamental laws of motion, will there be cars, trains, ammunitions, bikes and a lot more inventions that lets you take your littlest effort on almost everything?

Mistakes lets us stand firm on the ground. Errors offers a lot of enthusiasm. Little ideas shrink into sciences. Everything man do does have an effect. It could be worse or disastrous but it could also be the starting line of seeing the world in a better view, which is at least a learning of a day.

BLOGGING, freedom

I don't know what to write, I don't how to write but anyway this goes like this.

I been surfing the net for quite some time now and I find it very interesting and joyful to be in this, net. I always hear awesome things about blogging but I don't how. Thanks to my teacher, he told me where to find a sponsonring site, or whatever they call it.

Blogging. I think it's making an online diary or someway around. Blogging, online diary, electronic-pulpit or whatever, everyone do have different looks at it anyway. But as my two black eyes see and one-damn-gutsy brains concerns, it is an online informal journalism where freedom resides, dreams dwell and everyone goes.

Honestly I go into blogging because I heard you can earn a few bucks out of it. I badly need some now due to some very considerable resons. But also I know you can post your thoughts here, publicized your opinion and shout your feelings(OA).

While there are millions of because why someone blog, money, self-interest, jamming around, serious business , name it, theres one thing universal in blogging, I guess, it's the unevitable humanistic nature to show himself as a one distinct, Godly creature who has feelings and unique view of the world.
