Nope.

     After hearing the news in the television about switching the starting of classes, it will start every September instead of June, that was proposed by the Department of Education, I suddenly paused for a moment. I was not expecting that they would think of that type of concept. I know this kind of proposal is implemented in some other countries like in the U.S., but here in the Philippines? I think it is not a good idea.

      Lots of things may be affected. It may also have an effect on some other events and holidays held around the months of April or May, and during June, July or August. In these months, many occasions are distinguished. Like the Holy Week and Flores de Mayo, which are regularly celebrated by people, most especially those who are Catholics. Another is the Linggo/Buwan ng Wika, this is a very well-known occasion in the whole country where we celebrate for our own nationality, to let everyone know that we never forget our nationality and we are proud to be Filipinos.

     Weather conditions are involved also. Having hot school days and cold summer? I don't think folks would enjoy this at all. We can no longer feel the cool breeze entering our classrooms during school days, and just hot rays of the sun instead. Note that we are wearing our long-sleeve uniforms at those days. We can't even go swimming during summer either! Making a big fresh splashy dive in a pool, no, we can't. The climate is too cold for that. We can't do the things that we used to anymore. We will be forced to change our tradition if that's the case. And it's sad if that happens.

     I don't like the DepEd's proposal. I wish they will not approve the proposal so that they won't have a chance to implement it here in the whole Philippines. You can't blame me but surely, no hesitation, without a doubt, I disagree at this concept of them. Sorry.

Milky Way

     Milky Way is...one of my favorite chocolates. BUT, i will not tell further on that, rather, the Milky Way which is a broad luminous irregular band of light that stretches completely around the celestial sphere and is caused by the light of myriads of faint star, or our very own galaxy.

     July 22, 2011, Friday ~ we had our school activity made possible by the Science Club, SkyXplore and more, the so called Astronomy Day. There were four activities in that one event. We have: (1) the Film Showing - all about the invention of technologies which are used in studying the space, the inventors and their history; (2) the Exhibit - the Milky way, some astronauts and some vehicles used for traveling in the outer space were talked about here, and meteorites were identified and they even let us touch some, as well; (3) the Space Dome - that was postponed because of the unexpected bad weather condition, but we were still able to manage doing this said activity all thanks to some of the students who helped in cleaning the gym, - they taught us here in the dome the rising and setting of the sun, other star constellations and some planets seen at night; and last (4) the Star Gazing - which unfortunately, was not able to be conducted at the field because of the cloudy sky that blocks the stars for us to see.

     But it's okay. There's always a next time for us to view stars using real telescopes, I wish. 

Me, Mavi and Erika

     During the whole mini tour in our campus, I was with Erika. It was the time we spend a - field trip - like occasion together again, after three years since our elementary life. I missed those days so I just went with the flow. We'd even make Mavi to join us as well. And also with some of the 3-Fluorine and 3-Carbon, especially during the exhibit and our stand by in the gym, where we took pictures and talked to some of the seminarians. 

     All of them were amazing! And even though we all went home late at that Friday night, I still had a lot of fun.:)

Me, Bea, and some of the 3-C

Like the fish.

  "My name is Salmon, like the fish. First name, Susie. I was fourteen years old when I was murdered on December 6th, 1973." 

     Crazy, mischievous, cheerful, innocent and brave. These are just some of the characteristics, I think, Susie and I have in common. That is why I adore her. She is one of my favorite actresses in our generation.

     If I could be someone else, I'd be Susie Salmon in the novel The Lovely Bones. Susie, being a blissful and ecstatic young teenage girl, was raped and murdered by a pedophile who had killed other young girls like her. I'd like to be her not because of the tragedy that happened, but because she was still able to trace a smile on her face despite of all the incidents. Also, she was courageous and indomitable enough to accept that she was already bereft of life.

     Courage. The quality of our mind or spirit that enables us to face difficulty, danger, pain, etc., without fear. 

     Being brave, bold and fearless wasn't that hard for a superhero like Superman, but for us vulnerable, emotional and frail mortals, maybe it is. Taking one's courage in both hands is really distressing, though after finishing such work or action, it is really worth it.

"These are the lovely bones that grew around my absence."

Far from within

During beside like next to,

Around within up into,

Opposite along ahead outside,

But concerning towards inside.

Underneath as far as without,

Beneath across beyond throughout,

 In case of unlike regarding after,

Thanks to above until near over.

All I wanna do.

     I'm having a hard time thinking what to put in this entry, interests.. favorites, cause I think I don't have favorite hobby, sport, music, movies, books, etc. Try to look at my profile in Facebook or here in blogger, those are proof. Maybe because I find things equally. I like trying them all. Even though I'm not that so interested at the others, I just want to give them a try. 

     I'm a sporty girl. I like playing table tennis, chess, volleyball, badminton, basketball, billiard, etc. I'm also interested in trying other cool sports that are not taught to me, yet. But I think it's a little bit impossible for me to learn the others cause I have no idea how I could learn all of those.

     I am also fond of listening to music. I don't give much attention to the singers or to the bands who composed the songs. I just concentrate on the song itself, and sometimes the lyrics, of course. This is because I can relate myself to the other songs, depending on my mood. And I feel comfortable and relaxed when I'm listening to music.

     I like surfing the net as well. It's my self-entertainment. Truth is, I open my Facebook account almost everyday, just to chat with my classmates and friends. Although it's kinda weird because if you will think of it, we see each other everyday at school. Even though I know I might experience some consequences, still, I really like what I'm doing.

     I love playing computer games too. Especially those addicting games boys use to play like DotA, the most famous among all, Battle Realms, Grand Chase, Crazy Kart, GTA, Counter Strike, etc. To sum up, I'm a little bit of a war freak, but just a bit, not too much, cause I can still discipline myself in playing those cool stuffs I learned from my cousins and, the one and only person who will not get board in teaching me those things, my little brother. Bro, you rock. \m/

     I guess I have my interests after all. I am hoping to discover a lot more in the years to come. And I can also share these stuff to you any time, just tell me and I'll do so.

Action Plan of My Life

     Children, the most important creation of God. They are the ones whom we consider our future, our life. Together, they make up a community, a family-with a mother and a father.

     Physically, I am definitely sure that I have a solid family. Consisting of a father, a mother, and siblings. But, how about mentally? emotionally? or socially? The truth is, I really don't know, whether it is solid or ... not. Yet, I am doing the things I know, will give a lot of help in uniting this family of mine.

     I think, I'm the one in our family who is the most aware in this modern life. Considering the fact that I'm the eldest sibling, the only daughter, the high school student and has the most number of mission to do in life. Aside from the duties and responsibilities that my parents are expecting me to finish, I have my own. Even though I need to use a 'multi-tasking' technique to finish them as soon as possible, I don't care if I get tired of what I'm doing. I just keep on going and going until I accomplish all these, which is impossible because for me, my obligation in my family is up to my last breath.

     Not having a high pride but, I believe that I'm a responsible and disciplined individual. Maybe not that much but just fine and normal, like the other independent persons out there. People might judge me the opposite around because of my lazy doings, however, I can prove them wrong.

     Here are some of my chores at home my parents expect me to do: fix my bed everyday; maintain the cleanliness of my room; clean the house, that includes sweeping the floor, wiping table tops and washing the dishes; and help in our store. I really... really need to do these because I'm the only one my mom is expecting to finish these chores. Cause, if I'm going to wait for my younger brother to help me, it may take years, or even centuries to get these things done. And, she always tells me this mind-grueling line: "Wala ng ibang magtutulungan at  gagawa niyan kundi tayong dalawa." So, it leaves me no choice but to do it.

     And here are some characteristics which I want to continue and develop without the command and reminder of anybody: be obedient, patient, responsible, disciplined, honest, humble, respectful, faithful, a positive thinker, and all the other good deeds parents want to have for their children.

     Now, here's my own mission: to be the best friend that my friends/schoolmates/classmates could have; to be the most excellent and coolest sibling of my younger brother; to become the one-and-only greatest and (not to mention) most "beautiful" blessing of my parents; and, to become the best ME of myself.

     I do hope that these duties and responsibilities will construct a solid family. I believe, and will never lose hope, to accomplish the "Action Plan of My Life".

     Oh, and by the way... I don't want to be all that 'nerdy' or 'super disciplined' kind of person. Just to remind you, I'm still an ordinary fourteen-year-old teenager. And just so you know, I do all sorts of mischievous stuffs, too. :>

Meet...my Tatay.

"That is the thankless position of the father in the family-the provider for all, 

and the enemy of all."
~ August Strindberg

     It's true. I am experiencing it right now. What ever I do or wanted to do, my father always contradict everything. Even though I know that being jealous is a sin, I always feel that way to my younger brother because most of the time, it's always me whom he easily get mad at. And since he is like that, there comes a time that I would think of wrong things.

     I often get annoyed whenever he says "Ano yun?" when I'm talking to someone, whereas he is not involved in the discussion. Will you feel the same way too? or will you not?  Considering that he happens to do it All the Time. I know in myself that I am full of patience but this really keeps on bothering me, a lot.

     So I decided to run into my mother, (who else can I run to?) asked for her opinions and advices. My decision was a super, duper, great idea! I knew she would be a big help. My mother explained to me everything. From being a short-tempered dad, up to those unnecessary little things that I notice at him. 

     According to my mom, my father doesn't stop disagreeing with us, me and my sibling. This is because he cares for us. He is concerned for our safety. In school, at our friend's place, or even just outside our house. To make it easier, he loves us.

     
     And that's it. My 'thinking of wrong things' is over. Now I realized I was wrong, getting mad to your pop? Really wrong. He who attends meetings at school, who gives his time and effort just to come with me and help in our Brigada yearly, who accompanies me to school whenever our service is not around, he who taught me different kinds of sports like basketball, chess, badminton, volleyball, billiard, etc., especially Table Tennis, where he coached and trained me until I grabbed the champion. He's a cool and awesome father. I'm happy and thankful at the same time.

     I'm glad to have a father like my dad. 

Happy Father's Day, Tatay!

Junior Year..

It was my first week of being a third year high school. At first, I really couldn't believe that I'm actually a junior now. It didn't feel like it was a new school year at all, being with my two best pals, Nica, III-N, and Michael, III-H. They are the ones who sacrifice their time just to wait for me during recess, lunch, and even after school hours. I'm glad to have them as my best friends.

June 6, first day of classes, I was expecting to have a different environment, different from the section were I was before. I'm still a little bit depressed knowing that I fell down just because of my carelessness and irresponsibility. I miss my II-Nitrogen classmates. Our 'biruan', 'tawanan', 'kulitan', and many more... But on the bright side, I met new friends in my present section-Fluorine. Friends that I hope, after ten months of being room mates, would even get stronger.

I was getting the hang of the week but suddenly, due to climate change and me, being nocturnal, my body got weak. Even though I did not get a fever, my body was so painful and I had a headache. I stayed at the clinic for about three to four hours. I may had a bad day but still it had a good outcome, there I met a sophomore.

I know I can make this junior year a successful one. As long as I have the support of my parents, friends, classmates and teachers, I believe I can do this! Aja!

Yey ME!

As you can see, this is my FIRST time to post here in my FIRST blog. After making my account using only my 'cellphone' via mobile web, editing my profile, with the help of my "indescribable" friend, miCo ;)/thanks!, and finally.... I MADE IT! xD

Can't wait making my second post here... >.<

chao. ;)
