_Hiwaga ng Sandali_

Kailangan mong makipagsapalaran, sabi niya. Maiintindihan lamang natin ang buong hiwaga ng buhay kung hahayaan nating mangyari ang mga hindi inaasahan.

Araw-araw, binibigyan tayo ng Diyos ng araw - at nang isang pagkakataon kung saan kakayanin nating baguhin ang lahat na nakakapagpapalungkot sa atin.

Araw-araw, sumusubok tayo na pigilang namnamin ang bawat sandali - na ito ay kathang-isip lamang - na ang ngayon ay katulad ng kahapon at magiging katulad na rin ng bukas.

Datapwa't kung ang lahat ng tao ay bibigyan lang ng halaga ang mga pang-araw-araw na pangyayari, matutuklasan nila ang hiwaga ng sandali.

Maaring ito ay biglaan kung dumating, habang tayo ay may ginagawang mga maka-mundong bagay - tulad ng pagpasok ng susi sa pinto; o nakatagpi sa payapang ramdam pagkatapos ng tanghalian, maging sa isang libo't isang bagay na para sa atin ay karaniwan lamang. Subali't nandito ang sandali - isang sandali kung saan lahat nang kapangyarihan ng bituin ay magiging bahagi ng ating buhay at itulot nating gumawa ng hiwaga.

Ang galak ay isang biyaya, ngunit kadalasan ito ay isang pagsasakop. Ang bawat hiwaga ng sandali ay tumutulong sa atin para magbago at dumayo para hanapin ang ating mga pangarap. Totoo, ito ay ating dadanasin, tayo ay mahihirapan, at makakaranas tayo ng napakaraming kabiguan - subali't lahat ng ito ay pansamantala lamang.; hindi mag-iiwan ng pirmihang tanda. At isang araw, tayo ay lilingon na may pagmamalaki at tiwala sa paglalakbay na ating tinahak.

Nakakaawa ang taong takot makipagsapalaran. Marahil ang taong ito ay hindi makakaramdam ng pagkabigo; hindi siya magtitiis tulad ng mga tao na may pangarap na sinusubaybayan. Subali't kapag ang taong iyan ay lumingon - hindi niya maririnig ang puso niya na magsasabing, "Ano ang nagawa mo sa mga himalang ipinunla ng Diyos? Ano ang nagawa mo sa mga likas na karunungan na bigay sayo ng Diyos?"

Ibinaon mo ang sarili mo sa kuweba dahil takot ka na mawala ang iyong talino. Kaya, ito ang iyong maipapamana: ang katotohanang binalewala mo ang iyong buhay.

Nakakaawa ang mga taong naiisip ito ngayon. Sapagka't ngayong naniniwala na sila sa mga himala, ang mahihiwagang sandali ng buhay nila ay lumipas na.

How to Die Smiling?

As my life goes on this day, I did not encounter any circumstances that made me lonely. I am happy because I am free to laugh and to express whatever emotion is exploding inside my heart. My life works normally until the time we entered Room 207. Our professor in Life and Works of Rizal did not came because he, including some of the students in Education Department are busy preparing all the things for the upcoming activities on Wednesday. In this case, we decided to take our lunch. After eating, I proceeded to room 212 and as I walked into that room, I heard a song entitled "SMILE". When I heard that song, there is one thing which entered in my mind: "We all know that all people are born crying but how can a man die smiling?" As I entered that room, I cannot still realize what is the answer in that question and I am in the process of honing ideas to come up with a fixed answer to that question.

From the moment that we are born in this world, we already created happiness especially to those around us and it is now our duty to continue making happiness through our own ways that God had given us. As we grow up, we are able to realize what happiness really means. For me, happiness is very important. No one is in control of your happiness but only you because true happiness lies within you. We should not waste our time doing and searching for some things that will make us completely happy because happiness is already within us and it now depend upon us on how to show that to the world. We all want to be happy but you cannot give what you do not have. In spite of our abilities to create happiness, still, there are times that we cannot make it successfully when ourselves are not happy.

There is a saying that goes "Happiness is like a perfume and you cannot pour it to somebody else without getting a few drops on yourself." There are hundreds of languages in the world but a smile speaks them all. Happiness does not mean you nees to laugh out loud. Remember that a simp[le smile shows or expresses several languages and meanings. It can create happiness and it even last forever.

Let us not all end our life to nothing; let us end it with something. We may all die but the happiness that we have will stay and will remain because happiness has no ending. It will live all over again and again. Happiness is like a kiss. You must share it to enjoy it. It sounds like funny but it is true. You cannot enjoy a kiss without someone to kiss on and you may be happy at this moment but it will not last for a lifetime if you are alone. Try to find someone for you to share it and pass it on. To be completely happy, we should not do whatever we like but like whatever we do. Happiness comes from not having much to live on but having much to live for. We should all enjoy the little things for one day, we may look back and realize that they were big things. So, let us make happiness our most beautiful creation. no one is born happy but all of us were born with the ability to create happiness. Through doing that, I can assure you that we may be born crying but we can die all SMILING...

Geraldine Ocampo to the Rescue!!!

Magandang Umaga!!!

This day, as usual, someone reported about the life of Rizal outside the country and it was rendered by Ms. Geraldine Ocampo. Noong nag- uulat siya, I was thinking if kailan ako makakapunta ng ibang bansa kasi I want to go abroad particularly in Japan, Korea and Taiwan. Kahit iyan lang... makita ko lang iyong mga favorite actors and actresses ko... Anyways, she had given us these following informations:

... On May 3, 1882, Rizal left Manila on board the Spanish streamer, SALVADORA. Una niyang pinuntahan iyong Singapore but he just stayed there for two days and after two days, he went to Merseilles, France via a French streamer naman, DJEMNAH. Take note: He was the only Filipino passenger because most of the passengers were French. Dito naman, he stayed for three days and after three days, he went to Barcelona, Spain via train naman. Dito siya nag- stay for almost four months. so, ito iyong pinakamatagal niyang pag- stay abroad as of now.
... In the autumn of 1882, Rizal left Barcelona and went to Madrid (sa Spain pa rin naman). He enrolled in the famous Central University of Madrid. Dito, he took up two courses- (1) Medicine and (2) Philosophy and Letters.
... Basta, marami pa`siyang napuntahan- Paris, Potsdam, Germany, Vienna, Austria and Berlin. After ng mahaba- habang bakasyon abroad, he went back to the Philippines particularly in Calamba where he lives. Nang makauwi siya, nag- practice agad siya ng medicine and his first patient was his mother but he could not operate on her eyes because the cataract were not yet ripe. So, the other people came to him for they heard na nag- aral nga siya ng medicine abroad. Dahil nga magaling si Rizal in Medicine, tinawag siyang "Doctor Aleman".
... Rizal stayed at Calamba for just a short period of time kasi the friars hated him because of his Noli Me Tangere and they do not want to see Rizal. That is why umalis siya sa Calamba...
... Ang dami naman ng napuntahan ni Rizal. He is not fond of going abroad... hehehe

Hanggang dito na lang iyong pag- uulat ni Geraldine and after that, nagbigay na lang si Sir ng mga requirements sa amin. Dahil sa paglalakbay ni Rizal, kahit ako nahilo and napagod (as if kasama naman ako sa paglalakbay niya... wahehehe)

Sige, bye na muna and until my next experience na naman!!!

Adios!!!

Mae Ann Bequillo: Reporter's Notebook (Part 2)

Mina Ohayou!!!
Ipinagpatuloy pa rin namin iyong reporting and as expected, si Ms. Mae Ann Bequillo pa rin iyong mag- uulat but this time, about sa "Pasyang Mag- aral sa Sto. Tomas" naman iyong iniulat niya.

... To start, iyong pasyang mag- aral ni Rizal sa Sto. Tomas has one reason. First, he wants to take up MEDICINE course for him to treat her mother who has a KATARATA. But his mother was not in favor of Rizal's further studies in a university. She believed kasi that if her son would become too wise, he would lose his life. Naalala niya kasi iyong mga educated Filipinos who had been persecuted by the Spanish authorities, such as the GOMBURZA who are composed of Father Gomez, Burgos and Zamora. But Rizal still studied far from his mother's presence.
... Nag- aral siya sa Sto. Tomas when he is 16 years old in June, 1887.
... he took up the course in Philosophy and Letters because his father wants him to be a philosopher.

... The following year (1878), he changed his course into MEDICINE.
... While studying at the Sto. Tomas, he had accomplished many literary works. He wrote the poem, "To the Filipino Youth", na nanalo ng First prize in a literary contest by the Artistic- Literary Lyceum of Manila in 1879.

Iyon lang naman iyong nagawa niya... hehehe

Sige, hanggang dito na lang muna and I will just give you and share to you my realizations and experience next meeting...

Bye!!!

Mae Ann Bequillo: Reporter's Notebook

This day, pinagpatuloy namin iyong reporting but this time, si Mae Ann Bequillo na iyong mag- uulat about sa "Pagpapamalas ni Rizal ng Katalinuhan sa Ateneo" and "Ang Pasyang Mag- aral sa Sto. Tomas". She tackled first iyong pagpapamalas ni Rizal ng Katalinuhan sa Ateneo. Here are the informations that I had gathered:

... Actually, Rizal wants to study at other schools but his parents want him to study at the Ateneo de Manila University (formerly Escuela Pia). Noong nandoon siya sa Ateneo, nagpamalas siya ng pambihirang talino and in fact, he is included in the so- called EMPERADOR (not the beverages that alcoholic person drinks)... hehehe. It is a term that refers to those who shows excellence in academy or institution. However, Rizal is not included to the INTERNO students or those who stay inside the institution by means of a dormitory. Instead, he belongs to the EXTERNO students or those who stay outside the school. The reason why he stays outside the school kasi malapit lang naman iyong tinutuluyan niya sa school... kumbaga, walking distance lang. Also, the grades that he got were almost excellent.

See? Ang talino talaga ni Rizal and he could be a genius!!! I hope I like Rizal (demanding? hehehe). After the report of Mae Ann, Sir gave us a question to answer: Why I chose to study in CSPC and why Education?

... Thank you for that wonderful question... (Feeling kasali sa pageant... hehehe)

... Actually, I am not the one who chose Mathematics as my major but I really like to be a teacher, that's why, I chose Education. Honestly, I like English to be my major but since, my father is the one who filled- up the application form, then, I have no choice but to take a risk. But I was not wrong and I realized that I am starting to love Mathematics (in fact, I already do love it!!!)
... Why CSPC? Simply because it is the school where I can afford to study and I have no choice. Di naman kasi ako ang magpapaaral sa sarili ko, eh... hehehe. Pero I am thankful that I am studying here in CSPC kasi nakilala ko iyong mga classmates ko and I have already compiled a lot of experiences inside this institution (drama!!! hehe)

... So, hanggang dito na lang and the report will continue on Wednesday and si Mae Ann pa rin ang mag- uulat.

Adios for now!!!

My Time To Shine!!!

Hello!!!

This day, April and I had reported the things related to where Rizal took his schooling and the talent of Rizal in Painting. But before I reported, April took the floor first and had her report about "Mga Unang Guro ni Rizal" and "Mga Kaalamang Natamo sa Biñan". These are the informations that I had gathered:

... The first teacher of Rizal was his mother, Doña Teodora Alonzo Realonda.
... From her, he learned the alphabet and the prayers when he was only three years old. This only shows that he is a very intelligent boy.
... Also, iyong tatlong Uncles ni Rizal had a great influences sa performance ni Rizal.
... Tio Gregorio was a scholar and lover of books. He encouraged Rizal to read good books and think for himself.
... Tio Manuel was a big and strong man. He aroused Rizal's interests in sports. Thus, Rizal learned swimming, rowing, fencing and wrestling.
... Tio Jose, youngest brother of Doña Teodora Alonzo Realonda, was educated in an English college of Calcutta, India. He inspired Rizal to paint, sketch and make statues of clay.

After that April is already done with her report, I proceeded next in front of the class and I began reporting. My report is all about "Ang Talento ni Rizal sa Pagpipinta" and "Pagpunta sa Maynila". Here are the informations that I have shared to my classmates:

... Juancho is the one who taught Rizal how to be passionate in painting.
... He improved his painting under Agustin Suez, a Spanish painter and Art Professor at the Ateneo.
... Rizal's first oil painting was a beautiful religious banner.
... Also, he made sketches of Professor Blumentritt, Leonor Rivera, his fellow passengers during his world travels and the German children at play in Heidelberg. He also sketched the illustrations of the story of The Monkey and the Turtle.
... On June 6, 1868, Jose, accompanied by his father, left Calamba for Antipolo.
... Maraming first times dito si Rizal (first time niyang makapunta ng lungsod, makakita ng pilgrimage to the famous shrine of the Virgin of Antipolo.
... The reason why he (Rizal) went to Manila is to see his eldest sibling, Saturnina, who is taking his studies at the La Concordia College.

Iyon lang naman iyong ini- report ko... hehehe.

I hope you have learned something in my report as well as April's report...

... Gagawa pa pala ako ng lesson plan... hehehe

Hanggang dito na lang muna and wait no iyong next experience ko, huh?

_First Quiz: 12/15_

Ohayou Gosaimazu!!! (Magandang Umaga iyon sa Tagalog). Wala lang... I just want to speak in Japanese language...

By the way, we had a quiz today...

It is a 15 item- quiz all about the life of Rizal.

After we had checked the paper, I got 12 out of 15 items... So, I was very with the result...

But one thing I was amazed of is iyong pangalan ng aso ni Rizal is...

VENGANZA...

I think wala namang nakakuha ng tamang sagot unless close sila ng aso ni Rizal... hehehe

Natatawa lang ako kasi Victor iyong sagot ko (Napakalumang name)... hehehe

Anyways, we had talked about the activity that happened last November 26, 2008. Happy naman si Sir kasi successful iyong activity namin.

... 100% effort kaya iyong in- exert namin sa activity namin!!! hehehe

However, masaya talaga ako sa activity kasi...

... di ko ma- explain... hehehe

Basta!!!

Sa uulitin... Iyon lang naman iyong ginawa namin this day and one thing pa pala...

... Kami na ni April iyong magre- report sa Friday...

I must prepared the audio visuals na gagamitin ko...

I know I can make it!!!

Aja!!!

_Back to Normal_

After the successful activity that was held last Wednesday, back to normal na ang lahat and the discussions of the topics continues...

Now, Si Jenly Moran and Rodmar Miranda na ang reporters and they had discussed the " Kabataan ni Rizal ". First, si Rodmar muna iyong nag- ulat. He tackled the things related to the youth of Rizal. He had given us these aeries of informations:

... He was born on June 19, 1861.
... His parents were Don Francisco Mercado Rizal and Donya Teodora Alonzo Realonda.
... He is the 7th child of Rizal family.
... They are 11 children in all.
... Rizal loves to read books, paint, and do anything that he wants (bata pa kasi siya and in fact, pasaway din siya... hehehe)

After that Rodmar had discussed, Jenly follows and here are the information he had given to us:

... He tackled the myth of the "gamu- gamo".
... The story of it starts when the Mother gamu- gamo and her child was flying around the flame of the candle. Then, sinabihan niya iyong baby niya that he should not be near the flame of the candle for him not to be burnt.
... But the baby ignored her Mother's paalala. That's why nasunog iyong baby gamu- gamo and namatay.
... After marinig ni Rizal iyong story, he realized that Mother knows best kumbaga. I mean, the mother will not give advise that the child will be put in danger.
... Iyong simbolo pala of the FIRE para kay Rizal is KATOTOHANAN or TRUTH.

Noong mga time na iyon, gutom na talaga ako and I cannot already be attentive sa discussion. Buti na lang, pinalabas na kami ni Sir...

At least, may natutuhan akong bago about sa buhay ni Rizal...

Sa uulitin!!!

Pagkahapon pala, sinabi na iyong mga nanalo sa Poster Making contest and they are the following:

... First place: Number 8
... Second place: Number 7
... Third place: Number 12
... People's Choice: Number 1

I enjoyed the awarding of the winners kahit na hindi nanalo iyong bet ko...

But it is OK... wala naman akong balato, eh... hehe

Sa uulitin!!!

The Activity Day Has Come!!!

This is it!!!
This is really is it!!!

This is the day that we are waiting for almost a week- The Activity Day where our plan will be implemented. I am happy because the plan that we have created, with the help of each other, will be finally seen into reality...

By the way, Poster Making pala iyong activity na isinagawa namin kaninang umaga... Although, it is a simple activity but we made sure that whatever pieces the participantes (Pinoy Fear Factor ba ito? hehe) will give, they will receive a worthy price and in fact, the price to the 3 highest scorers will be given USB's with the following properties:

First Prize: 2 gigabytes USB
Second Prize: 1 gigabyte USB and 20 pesos worth
Third Prize: 1 gigabyte USB

... If you will notice, iyong 2nd and 3rd winners
have the same byte of USB, that is why, dinagdagan na lang ng 20 pesos for the winner not to feel any unfairness happened...hehehe

Dumating na iyong oras for the participants to show their talents and to give their all and while they are making their masterpiece, todo naman kuha ng picture si Ate Maffeth (documentator naman kasi siya, eh...) and others. Siyempre, we just stay at the corner in order not to interrupt or disturb any of the participants...(parang Supervisor...wahehe).

After two hours of making their Masterpiece, the contest is finally over and for your information, ang gaganda ng mga gawa nila... iba- iba nga lang ang extent ng beauty of their piece...

Even though, it is tiring, worth it naman iyong experience kasi honestly, this is the first time that I had participated in the said activity... not a participant... but one of the organizers. Iba talaga ang feeling every time you have accomplished something... (Nakakaiyak naman!!!hehe)

By the way, the announcement of the winners will be held on Friday pa naman and one thing pa pala, 10% of the criteria is for the STUBS... meaning, magpapabili sila ng stubs and everytime may bibili, that stubs will be counted to the contestants whom the buyer bought the stub... So, ang proceeds noon will be on the BSEd students...

Over- all...

I enjoyed the program... Akala ko kasi it will not be implemented that way. I was surprised talaga with the outcome of the activity...

It was unbelievable... It was really a great experience!!!

Good job, BSEd- 3 (English, Mathematics and Physics majors)!!! I salute all of you!!!

Aja!!!

_Mirror_

When I feel bored and nothing to do, my cellphone paves way for me to scribble my ideas into life. I came across pieces of stories that somehow have given me answers to some of life's inconsistencies. Maybe, a lot can relate to it like a people who constantly put themselves in the light of worries and anxiety.

Today, I realized that whining and worrying thing is like rocking chair. It gives you something to do at that moment but it will not bring you anywhere. I hope we get two- cents worth of thought from reading it.

There was a blind girl who hated herself just because of being blind.

She hated everyone except her loving boyfriend.

He is always there for her.

She said that if she could only see the world, she would marry her boyfriend.

One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her and then, she can already see everything including her boyfriend.

Her boyfriend asked her, " Now that you can already see the world, will you marry me? "

The girl was shocked when she saw that her boyfriend is blind, too and refuse to marry him.

Her boyfriend walked away with tears and later wrote a letter to her saying, " JUST TAKE CARE OF MY EYES DEAR. "---

See!!!

This is how human brain changed when the status changed. Only few remember what life was before and who is always been there even in the most painful situation.

Life is A...

According to a quotation: "Life is a banquet. Life is a splender. Life is a test. Life is a game. Life is a twist. Life is magnificient. People say life is blind (NOT!) It is one of a kind."

Yes! These are the things that you will be hearing when we talk about life. But what does life really means.

Life is not about bed of roses as what the title of the song wants to imply. All of us have our own path in life. We encounter different challenges that will make us a better person. Life is not about neither comfort nor about luxury. It is about living your passions, joy, pain and sorrow. It is about falling and existing. Life is a place of trials. There will always be a problem or it may be the same problem that will be presented to every generation in different forms.

In facing life, we should always think about the decisions we make. Be aware and open- minded. Let us not just think of what we desire but of what for the benefit of all. In our lives, we should expect the unexpected. What we are doing during those storms in life is what will make us a true person.

Life is so fine, if only we will learn how to deal with it well. With faith in God, the will to do right and love for self and others, surely, life on Earth will be in its best. Life is too short; it is neither good nor evil. It is totally a mystery and a question that ourselves can only answer.

That is L-I-F-E, a simple four letter word but too hard enough to explain.

Poster Making Contest on the Plan!!!

This day, I did not experienced any unexpected things... just like a normal way of living. I am thankful that somehow, I became happy even though that happiness is not as clear as the smile of a clown. As the day passed by, I can picture out what will happen especially when I enter Room 207 where we are studying the Life and Works of Rizal. In this subject, we had discussed the things with accordance to the celebration this November which is the " National Book Month " but we are going to conduct the activity ahead of time... this coming week. ( I think: Wednesday?)

We had argued that the activity that we are going to facilitate is the Poster Making Contest instead of an Exhibit of the Works of Rizal because we think that this will be time consuming and quite expensive. Also, we had decided to conduct this activity at the CSPC College Library on Wednesday ( I think but I am not sure...) from 9:00 to 12:00 in the morning. I admit that I am not used of being the chairman or whatsoever but in some unexpected circumstances, I, together with Julie Ann M., are assigned to make the title of our activity as well as the mechanics of it. When I was assigned to do this certain task, I am quite excited because this will test my mind on how far I am good in making title of anything. I can say that I am fond of giving myself a title to hold on just like what title my BLOG has. (hehehe). For me, it is one of the relieving things I can do to myself in order to reduce my emotions and feelings.

Basta, I will try to make a title of the activity as beautiful as I can!!!

Moment of Truth: Writings in my Life

BLOG?

I define it as one's most priceless possession where the owner's most revealed, concealed, joyous and miserable moments are captured in words. Some considers it as a sanctuary where they can express freely anything they feels like however the writers hide it from public eye so why is it that people find it very enchanting to snoop and discover what details are being revealed on that piece of valuable possession? The basis of intrigue works like a bait that lures anyone to take pleasure to pry, get involved and take over someone else's life with whatever that is being disclosed.

My BLOG was not on a daily basis like how traditions typify it. Now, it evolved more as a journal where I can express my deepest emotions either in concrete or abstract, logical or illogical and spontaneous or conventional. I write when I am jovial, sad, hurt, inspired and even when I feel that I was degraded by others. I have written my own stories, photojourns, essays, poems, songs and anything that involves expressing myself hoping that if someone reads them, they will discover and understand. It uplifts my spirit to write about something that I just find so interesting. It was a journal- collection of everything that I find bliss, out of the ordinary, funny and spiteful. It caters to every scope I find interesting there is on Earth. Even if the grammar is incorrect or if I was the only one who can decipher what was written- I do not care. It became a great medium for me to become who I want to be because no one had the right to critic, review and grade me. I can be the captain of my own ship, the singer of my own life. I am not a son, student, friend, colleague, debater and whoever because I can just be someone I fancy.

Writing is my sixth sense. It brought me a gratifying sensation. It is a part of me that no matter how I try to deviate myself away, never will it cease to instinctively exists in me. I write not because I am obliged although it is a requirement but because I start loving doing it. I have kept piles of journals and literaries and everytime I will read them, it is as if I had relieved the same feeling I had when I wrote them. which makes me smile. It satisfies me to become as many characters equally grand if not bizarre as I please. It is neither how profound nor hefty the words are as my writings were unorthodox and had no limits or boundaries. As I have said, it can be abstract or spontaneous. It follows no rules, hides nothing and simply shows who I am, the real me. Maybe God wants me to write like this because he wants me to share a part of me in the world where people may feel brave and good with their own uniqueness and gift. I dared to be different and defy the customary because it simply leads you to soar the clouds.

I hope that it binds my personality to discover the zeal and gift I have inside that are far from how the world perceives me. May this give me the passion to believe in my power to create because I know that I can change the course of the furute in my own way.:)

The Story Beyond the Name " Jose Rizal "

This is the second time that I will write to you. Obviously, we have talked about " Life and Works of Rizal. " Yes, it is interesting to study the life of our National Hero and I love knowing other things aside from to those things which normally happen.
Today, Ms. Julie Ann Mirabueno is the one who gave informations about the life of Rizal when he is still a child. To give you background...
Jose Rizal was born on June 19, 1861 at Calamba, Laguna. His parents were Francisco Mercado Rizal and Teodora Alonso Realonda. his father is a farmer but this does not mean that they are poor. Actually, they are included in what we called " PRINCIPALIA " which means " rich people ". That is why he had a chance to travel in different countries like Hongkong, America and others. Also, he studied in private schools especially abroad. He take some of his courses in Central University of Madrid. See!!!
Among his experiences, he is a versatile person. I mean, he can do a lot of things- he is a painter, doctor, novelist, writer, and humoror. This is just some of the professions of Rizal.
After that Ms. Mirabueno is done with her report, I have realized that our National Hero did not became hero as easy as twinkling of our eyes. He had experienced a lot of things which we do not. He is such a dedicated and powerful person and he has the mind that can think not only for himself but for the sake of other people. That is why, he fought against the Spaniards just to return the freedom in the Philippines back...
That's the end of the discussion in this subject...
I have learned so many things!!!:)

New Teaching Experiences with the New Teacher!!!

We all know that we are facing different problems and sometimes, we meet a lot of surprises in our lives but we do not know whether that surprise will give us satisfaction or regret.
This day, as we enter Room 207 where we are taking up the subject entitled " Life and Works of Rizal ", we have already met our new mentor, Mr. Irvin P. Sto. Tomas. The reason why we had a new teacher is that Dr. Durante have something to face privately that's why, she decided to leave for six months. Anyway, our new mentor is quite interesting and one of those things that I am amazed because at the age of 25, he had already finished Master's degree and he is now currently taking up Doctorate. Imagine... He have accomplished many things. Also, I like the way he give requirements for instance, this BLOG. Honestly, I like this kind of journal because I am fond of using internet and I have just made my personal BLOG in other website. The reason why I like to create BLOGS is that I want to express my emotions and feeling even in this way. For me, it is one of the ways of expressing my emotions, ideas, depressions, regrets and all other feelings that I feel which I cannot express verbally. There are thing in my life that is better kept than revealed. I do not want people around me to be affected of what I am experiencing right now...
Even though, I am talkative in school, every time I went home, I am such a speechless creature. Why? I do not want to stay at home for a longer period of time because I feel that I was choked by something that I do not know. I am not saying that I do not love my parents and siblings. It is just that I am not that comfortable talking with them. I prefer more to stay at my cousin's house than our's. I should not tell these kind of things but I have no one to tell these things except my heart and mind.
Anyway, this is just the beginning of new conversations the hidden facts that I am keeping only to myself that will soon revealed. Also, this is just the start of my journal about the life and works of Rizal and all the discussions that will happened as our teacher began to talk about it.
So, stay tune!!!
