Let's take the road.

     Finally, the Sayanistas' most awaited moment had come to an action, Intramurals 2011. Thanks to Ate Chastine, the school sports club's president, with the help of the YSC members and officers, this occasion would not be pursued.

     Last Friday, first day of Intrams - The agenda started with a short program that morning. During this program, the representatives of each level for the Mr. and Ms. Physique ramped around the whole court. The cheer-dance competition was put through afterward. After that, the games began. I wasn't able to watch the morning games straight, especially the basketball boys because I was assigned to assist in the throwing events. Good thing that event was held in front of the Maliksi Building so I was able to take a peek on the game. In the afternoon, Table Tennis girls division started. I was included at that game. They let me play the singles, while our other two players, Eunice and Rachelle, played in the doubles. Michael, and some of my other batch-mates was there not just to support me, but also to support our team, Red Ferrari. Luckily, I won against the player of Blue Porsche, fourth years, and Yellow Lamborghini, second years. So to sum up, I was declared champion in that division. Whew..

     Saturday, second day of Intrams - Honestly, I went to school a little bit late that day. Hehe. That is because I was expecting that day would be slightly boring since the game where I was included was already through. Yet, I tried to make the day memorable. I watched other events with Michael and Nica. We also supported Nica when they played the Patintero and won the first rank. I was able to watch the championship of the Basketball boys as well. The three of us were together but then, Nica left so it was only me and Michael who spent the rest of the day. Then, that afternoon, there was Basketball girls! I suddenly realized that one of our players doesn't actually like to play, so I volunteered instead. Thus, I was team up with the players. We won over the Green Chevrolet, first years, but unfortunately, the Blue Porsche defeated us. And I also got not one, but two wounds in my both knees. Good thing Marcson was there, lol, the medic who assisted Ma'am May to apply first aid in the injured parts. That moment, I felt I was like a kid again because I was very unsteady before. Yet, even though I dove-without-water in the court, I still enjoyed the game. Congrats Siñors!

     I hope to have another awesome Intrams next year. Well, good luck to the next YSC president. ;)

Sonnet 116

Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark 
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks 
Within his bending sickle's compass come: 
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, 
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,

I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

---

A. Recalling 

1. Things that love is not according to Sonnet 116.

• Love is not love which alters when it alteration finds or bends with the remover to remove.
• Love's not Time's fool.
• Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks.

   2.  Things that love is according to Sonnet 116.

• O no! it is an ever-fixed mark that looks on tempests and is never shaken.
• It is the star to every wandering bark, whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken. 

B. Interpreting

        Love is like the guiding North Star that leads every lost ship towards the right path. Whenever we are confused on which way to go or what to do, love is there to escort us to the straight course and will never let us feel solitary.

C. Extending

        I agree with the speaker's interpretation of love because Sonnet 166's explications what love is are factual and existent.

I hope this is true.

April Mae B. Bergaños : My Modern Day Hero

We believe, teachers are our second parents,

They do their best just to make our skills' enhancements,

So consider them as allies, not opponents,

And hint them success rather than disappointments.

Ma'am April Mae Bergaños, my new adviser,

She's a very thoughtful and generous teacher,

As well as a kind, loving and gorgeous mother,

I was not expecting to meet someone like her.

Teachers serve us so much sacrifice and effort,

Reading, teaching, checking, then making a report,

While us, doing nothing but to jest and cavort,

So in repay, let's give them our love and support.

Can't Stop, Won't Stop.

     When I was in elementary, I'm already fond of listening to music. I also give time to memorize the lyrics of some of my favorite songs that are famous at those years. I always listen to the radio or the television and sing along with it. I even manage to approach a computer shop, or what ever they call it, just to get a CD-burn of my favorite songs. And whenever I go to the mall with my family, I never forget to have a short sneak pick to some CD stores and buy what ever I feel like listening to.

     Before, I don't mind who the singers or the bands who sang the songs I was listening at. "What's so important to them?" "Why do we even need to bother to know them?" I don't really care. "Why should I?" "It's none of my business if they get famous or not." These are the questions that come up to my mind when I was a little girl. I don't care about the happenings around me, I just want to listen and sing with the music that's all, nothing more, nothing less.

      Well, I wasn't curious at those times. Maybe because of my innocence, that's all. But now, look at me, I changed a lot, as in, a LOT. Now, I ask my classmates some of the newest and most played songs. I also monitor the latest songs featured in the number one music channel that everyone could ever know, MYX. And then, while doing my homeworks, I open a new tab in my browser for 4shared.com, where I download the songs I want to have in my phone, then add it in my iTunes here in my laptop. And play my iTunes every night or whenever I open my laptop.

     Music rocks. Music is cool. Music helps me to relax, especially in times of sadness. Sometimes when I feel bad, music comforts me. When I listen to music, it's like the song talks to me. It can relate to my problems and then gives me advice. This is the most important thing why I love listening to music. Why I love Music. Music is my life.

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.:)

Miggy, Me, Bea, Maru, Erika, Ate Marian and Daryl

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.
