UNREACHABLE DREAM

The stars shine on the sky and these symbolize my unreachable dreams. Though it takes too long before we reap the fruits of our endeavor we still should try. We have to strive and bear the sacrifices before we attain them.They say, "hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is broken winged bird that cannot fly."
When I was still young I have lots of interests for me to pursue and grow but I have to believe with my own skills. Time passes by and as I reach the age of 15 - it's the time for me to decide for my future. My field of interests inspire me to become a servant of my fellowmen, that is my heart telling me to be a nurse someday. My dream of be of service to a famous hospital not only here in the Philippines but in other countries as well. I am not looking so much after the money that I would be gaining but the value of saving lives - caring and loving people. Through this small deed it will make a difference in the life of other people. They say you should know how to look back where you came from to go to where you want to go.

As of now I still need to burn eyebrows for such a long time. I still need to be molded as a person and developed as a professional thoroughly someday with God's grace. I am still half- baked yet and still need more experiences and knowledge to be gained. I'll keep on fighting where the battle is. Because I believe that "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams."

"IT IS THE TIME TO CHANGE"

The progress of the world or the betterment of all? Technology or life? Does the progress of technology also mean betterment of life? Are we ready to sacrifice life for the sake of technology? Quite academic questions, but are they really important to ask?
Since our world enters really a modernize living. The past had it's own problems that rendered life complicated. Yet, what wasn't present before is technology. It is given that invention of new weapons of war that can kill. Thousands is particularly horrifying and would give support to the preposition. Mindset behind the use of weapons did not change through years of warfare. Are we then to argue that it is these weapons that complicate life? No- it is the mindset that we to kill other people for our own interests that complicate life, the weapons are merely tools. Arms races that really complicated life result from this mindset. My point is that technology is a big boom to us.
If there has been incidents of this personalization and deterioration because of technology. It is because we have forgotten the main reason we have technology; as a tool for good and the betterment of man. We have lost our humanity because we have made ourselves slaves to technology: it is time to change and it must starts with me.

"HARDSHIPS IN LEARNING"

The Tiger has roared in. Year 2010 is now 27 days old. How time flies! You blink and when you look again, it's another year to fulfill, another chance for me to renew my life, to be a better specimen.

Though we had finished another year again, we have another year of learning but it doesn't mean that we left something. The hardships still go on and the learnings we met the previous year had stored in our heads. The last grading I learned about HTML links which widens my knowledge more about using internet. And it enhances our skills in making web designs. Well, honestly speaking, I really don't understand those things because it was my first time to encounter it. I am not quite familiar about it. My group had to cram in making our project and really don't know what to do. So we asked the help of our expert classmates to accompany us. Sometimes we have misunderstandings that causes delay in finishing our project. And as the days went by, our time is getting shorter and made us hurry and it made us dull too.Although we are always hard-headed, we exchange jokes with other groups to lessen our stress. The price of that is we have just to face the consequences of the product of our efforts. We should not blame others because it is our fault and accept the fact as they always say. I have just to bear the price of being neglectful.

There is a part in a book that I have read and it goes this way, "Your light must shine before others so they may see your good deeds and glorify your heart." With that, I have to change my attitude towards making school projects to let the light in me shine. And therefore I may reap the rewards for my greater efforts.

"GIFT OR HEART?"

As early as November of each year, residents are often treated to delightful displays, the lights flicker and familiar tunes of maracas and bells as childrens voices singing "Jingle Bells" cut through the sounds of modern living. December has come again "Christmas is just around the corner," as they will always say. The holiday cheer and December chill engulf everyone. When one thinks of Christmas there is that certain feeling of happiness and festive mood overwhelming everyone.I can say that Christmas had already feeling up my world. And Im so excited right now! The usual celebration of Christmas is every 25th of December, the birth of Christ. For you what's the real essence of Christmas? Is it seen in gifts or in heart?

The happiest and most meaningful event is the birth of Christ that was I knew since I was young. I still remember as soon as I heard Christmas carols on the radio I would ask my tita, "Ilang tulog pa po para Pasko?" Because of the Santa Clause package (candies, toys and new clothes). I was always sure to receive. But then as I grew up and know how to think maturely, I realized that materials things doesn't guaranteed much. Christmas has always been joyfully awaited no matter how hard life seems to be. For me Christmas may be true that there will be no grand celebration this year, but consider the true essence of Christmas - the message still holds true: Love and Peace. Im planning to attend the Misa de Gallo starting from the 16th day of December. I really wanted to to complete the days waiting for Christ's birth and I believe in wishing after 9 days of "sacrifice." I wished to go home early to my mom and brothers. I want to celebrate Christmas with them , that would be a bountiful and memorable gift that I would have. I want them to know how I love them and I want to spend most of my last days and time of 2009 with my family. And before year ends I want to confess to a priest and ask for forgiveness to all what I've done bad. Reconcile to those person I've hurt at a time and ask to be forgiven too, that would probably lighten my mind and heart.

I hope to be granted all my insights as the days goes by.Christmas is a fitting time to give ourselves that much needed. A time for reflection, for soul-break, searching. A respite from the usual day-to-day issues and problems be our time. Christmas is here to stay. Let us consider it as "the break of a new down" for everyone.

"COME AND LEARN YOUR VALUES"

November has come again...I feel the breezing cold wind of the ambiance. And in our school the celebration again is Values Club. It's interesting! On here our spiritual, emotional and social develops through the different contests that are indulged.

On the said sponsoring club I enjoyed watching the kite flying while we are waiting to pitch in our tent for our camping here in the campus, but it's so sad that our section was no able to win the said contest. At least we tried our best. We missed joining the Sayaawit because of our tight schedules and different contests we are going... But it's just okay we experience being just a part of an audience... Here comes again the Cook Festival we smell the aromatic, flavourful dishes by the little chef's of ISNHS but unfortunately we missed this event again ... It's really our loose!But of course we are always on the run to join the Morning Trivia!Different questions that is really brainstorming to answer. Everyday we keep to go early to attend the flag ceremony just to join that..

Now that November has ended and month of December has already entered the last month of the year, it's so sad that we the Seniors had only three months left to fulfill this with memorable and unforgettable moments around this school with my classmates, friends and teachers..Though we never win lots of event in Values month it gives us a lesson to each contests..

"CHALLENGES ARE NOT HINDRANCES"

As the days pass by we don't know that we are about to face another challenge that we may overcome upon reaching our goals in our lives and we are going to receive the fruits we have been waiting for years.

Upon rendering the BER months the harder the challenges that I'm going through. Honestly speaking whenever we are given loads of assignments I can't avoid getting angry at a times, I am really a hard-headed person that's why I burst out just to lessen my madness. Instead of doing it faster, I talk about non-sense topics. That's then when I have to rush doing and finishing it on time.I always tease and quarrel which cause delay. So I look myself and think what am I doing.Then I would realize that I'm doing the worst. And it won't help me to become wholesome. So by now I keep in touch with God every time I'm pressured I ask the help and power of our GOD ALMIGHTY and at the same time I'm also exerting efforts for me to help myself too.And for us to achieve our dreams to become somebody in the eyes of God someday.

Those circumstances passing along our roads it will make us to be a better person. Always remember that challenges are not reason for us to be disappointed but to make us strong. It gives us lessons for our betterment. Let us make it as an inspiration to achieve our ideal goals in life.

"SPECIAL STRANGER COME ACROSS IN MY LIFE"

You came when every thing else
was in pitch black
You are You
I am myself
despite the odds
we're still here
bridging every gap and differences

Most often you tell us endearing never
ending stories
while we listen, laugh and moan
without knowing
we're already become too immersed
just like long lost old friend
and so it seems but
friendship was still in the offing
and somehow then I see
You, as a familiar stranger
a perfect enigma

At a time you're sweet and warm
when bad headed, you're stone-hard and ice-cold
ironic it may appear though
but it's amusing therapeutic
your enthusiasm is contagious.

Later in some strange ways
I discoverd YOU!
Your moods, whims and caprices
so different in our own world
even when I'm contemplating
I always wonder, then wonder still
how two living souls
of extreme opposite personality
are drawn to the call of friendship..
It's not the work of the magic spell just a touch of fate- maybe. . .
sometime, somewhere yesterday
life's mishaps completely devastated me
it wasn't easy going through
but they are always beside us, guiding.
They are always there..

You are always there behind
While I was looking the other way-
unsure of what you are to me,
unsure of what I really am to you..
You kept coming and sharing
while I kept my cool and the distance
until suddenly....
You've become part of my existence
A familiar face in my naked eyes
but no longer a stranger in my heart
not very soon did I realize
How great and wonderful you are!

Now, I only know too well
Why I should cherish..
You're one most special person,
always there for me
Whatever the odds and turns
You're my Hero, our greatest teachers!
