The time of the year is now here when all the seniors prepare for one of the biggest events in their lives, their Graduation Day, the time when all high school worries are worn off and the sight of a new life fast approaching appears on the horizon. The only problems sprout only around the graduation ceremony, on how things might turn out or what unexpected things might happen. It’s weird though, how each senior feels. It varies within each one of them.
But there is something deeper surrounding the idea of the graduating. It’s not only the relief of finishing four years in high school and managing to survive all of the challenges laid in front of you. It is not only the fun of having your parents proud that you were able to finish high school and that you’ll be stepping on your last level which is college. It is not only the self fulfilment that you’re almost mature to face the challenges of life and all of those surrounding it. It is not only the thrill of having the chance to face the greatest challenge of your life, which is being independent in your college life. But it is the fear of leaving your friends and the possibility that you would forget each other. It is the threat of losing the friendship that you cherished for four years in school. It is the fear of losing those who supported you all the way when you were so alone and had no one to depend on.
Like me, I have just been friends with some of the seniors in our school. At first, the graduation thing seemed nothing for me it was just a “ceremony”. But as time went by and I became closer to them and our friendship became tighter, I realized that they were already leaving the school and that I may not see them for a long time. I felt that “longing” feeling where I feel that I don’t want to be detached from them and this made me feel that the “Graduation Syndrome” is not only felt among those who’ll be graduating but also for those that they’ll be leaving.
To cut it short, I just want to congratulate the graduates of batch ’09-’10 of Cavite National Science High School and specially those who are part of the YFC family. I won’t forget you guys. Let’s keep our faith strong!

Beyond Reasonable Doubt....
March 21,2010
I admit that I am an avid fan of movies specially those of the genre of suspense. But the one that gets the bounteous part of my attention are novel adapted movies. Movies that were screen adapted from movies are truly artistic and mind twisting. One of these which made my tremble even to the last part was the movie entitled “Beyond Reasonable Doubt”.
How amazing is it to have a district attorney win 17 cases in a row? How amazing is it to win an award because of an amazing documentary about a teenager raped and made homeless and forced to live on the edge until the one she held on die due to a snow storm? How would you design the perfect plan for a perfect murder? These are the questions revolving around the movie “Beyond Reasonable Doubt”. The movie seemed typical at first with a reporter trying to solve his doubts on a district attorney winning 17 cases in a row but as the story dug deeper, it ends with the plan of the reporter to solve his doubt functions as a way to cover up his lie which gave him everything he enjoys now.
At the time when I was watching the movie, I already got thrilled because of how daredevil the reporter was trying to be involved in such a death-defying act. Even trying to go to jail just to prove his hypothesis, bringing his friend with him as an accomplice to assist him in every way he could. This was how he tried to solve his doubts. But what stuns the most in the movie is the fact that everything that he did was all for a cover-up to his secret that he already buried but still came back from its sepulcher.
The movie is filled with mind twisting scenes and a shocking turn of events. Why not try the movie? And see it for yourself.

Anonymously Defined
March 14, 2010
It is undeniable that we usually enjoy things that we hide or we refuse to admit to anyone else even to ourselves. These are the things that we enjoy the most. Things that we deny and still we live everyday enjoying things and not breathing a single second without thinking about it.
It’s in our nature to deny things that we already see and we know of. Not because we disgrace having those things but because of its own safety, because of our love for it that we tend to protect it and hide it from anyone and more than sometimes to ourselves. We refuse to believe in its existence even if we live each second of life smiling because of that thing that we pretend to be extinct.
One of which is love. We tend to deny everything about it due to our juvenile state of mind and thinking. We seem to tell everyone that we know nothing about that thing. We even call it non-sense. But deep inside, we smile each day because of that “non-sense”. Love is what keeps us going through each of life’s difficult challenges which serve as our tests to improve ourselves. Love was what kept us safe. Love by Him in the Highest Position. He, who saved us all, is the originator of Divine Love.
But nowadays, we keep love to ourselves due to the craving for its protection and its safety. And we leave its definition to those who see it. To those who care to interpret it. To those who we know nothing about. To those who are anonymously defining what we are feeling.

Atender a Razones
March 7, 2010
One can’t deny the fact that we always have dreams of spending time with our most beloved someone who we only see in our dreams. Some say they are like ghosts, a faint stain in our unconscious mind and may stay like that until we return to our unsubstantial self whom no one notices and no one cares to take not of. But as the same nature as ghosts, it is relative and changes with each observer. Once we believe in it, the possibilities are endless but if we are non – believers, we just limit ourselves to simple things and we cut the long strip of possibilities to only a small fraction and accept it as is.
Relating this to anyone, as we continue to believe in things, the possibilities of having anything, anytime and anywhere are endless.
As a late-bloomer (what I describe myself as), I was born as someone who accepted things as they are, someone who doesn’t look for any reformation and goes with the flow with low self-esteem. But as I just said I am a late-bloomer, I learn things quite late and I improve myself later than others do. Because of this, I am quite disappointed due to the thing that I should have had experienced more and I should have had improved myself to a different level.
But I just consider one thing and think of one thing, God made things for a purpose and He gives us things that we are rightful to have not as a burden but as a material to aid us in improving ourselves.

World in Conflict
February 27, 2010
The technician who was fixing our computer decided to install a game called World in Conflict which was just a newly – developed game. This game won several awards like best in graphics and story line. What I like about this game is its story.
The game was about the soviet’s siege on the eagle which was the United States of America. Because of a long time of peace and the absence of war between cities and countries, everyone rested assured that no more wars would take place and that peace was obtained among nations and one of the fully rested countries was U.S.A. Despite the long piece, America was caught off guard when the soviets (Russians) started an ambush siege on it which caused too much havoc. And no one was left to defend America because all of its soldiers were overseas trying to start peace in other countries specially the Middle East. Only the National Guard was left to defend the country but it was too big to miss that the National Guard may not be able to defend America of its Liberty. The whole story will go around the siege and the defense of the National Guard against the soviets.
The story of this game shows the classic idea of being too much assured that you forget that there may still be threats still lurks and that no one should be rest assured about anything and that no bad deed goes unpunished.

Canon of Life
February 20, 2010
Life may seem simple for others but if you look deeply into it, there are so much rules that govern it to the extent that our mind might explode upon knowing about all of those. But it may be impossible for one to know all. There is only Him who knows it and governs it and we are those governed by that rule that we are inclined to follow and to never disobey.
One of the best canons in life is about being ready for all the consequences that face every action we do. Like what the Third Law of Motion states, “For every action, there is an opposite and equal reaction”. Even if this law was designed to govern all bodies in motion, it unintentionally became one of the rules that governed life. Life as we know has chain reactions in which after we do one thing, hundreds of reactions may take place after it.
Another golden rule is that we should never blame anyone for what we undergo in life. Because what we are now is a reaction to what we’ve done before and there is no other person to blame but the man you see in the mirror facing you and mimicking all the things that you do. So one should be ready to face all the consequences that one’s action has made for him to endure.
While there’s still time, there is still room for change and it is the change for the best. And with God by our side, we could do anything as long as it is for His name and to glorify Him.

Memento for my Valentine
February 13, 2010
It has been years and years when our pre-school teacher taught us about the occasion on the 14th of February. We were entwined with it as the day for lovers to celebrate a day with each other. As years passed again, we were left with the idea that it was not only the day for lovers as in teen lovers but also a day when we spend time with all of those that we love like our parents and our friends. Later on, we learned in our history class that it was the day given for the god of love of the ancient Greeks. Still, that day, Valentine’s Day was nothing of importance for me because I really haven’t experience anything different when it’s Feb. 14. It’s just like a simple day which quickly passes by with nothing special happening.
But this year was different. Like in the novel, “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time”, it was like I saw five red cars in a row because I had a Super Good Day! And as Christopher Boone describes it, “something good will surely happen and not just anything but also something special”. And surely, something special really happened and I really had so much fun. And it felt to be one of my best days. To put it up shortly, it was because of the “pillow”.
That pillow would be with me at times that I need something comforting like a friend who would always be there and never leave you at all times like our dear Father, God.
