Seems misleading? A conspiracy?
I just don’t know if it’s normal or maybe it’s just mischief to encounter a point in life wherein you’ll almost give up because it seems too hard for you to handle. But whenever I want to give it up, I always remember something our teacher told us. It was this:
“How did David defeat Goliath even when the whole of Israel shrugged in terror with every step Goliath took?.... Because he saw Goliath a target not too big to defeat but a target too big to miss....
So keep on going for the biggest challenges in life that are just..... too big to miss...”
So whenever I just feel like giving up, I just think that God never gave me challenges that he knows that I can’t do.
This week was quite vague in a way that I can’t seem to cope up with all that’s happening so I can’t explain all that’s happen. The only distinct thing for me that has happened was that we are now using our new room and I feel comfortable in it.
One more thing is that I’m happy for John Paul for winning at the Science Quiz Bee for the Regional level and that he’ll be stepping up to the National Level. I hope that this time, he’ll bring home the bacon for our Alma Mater.
That’s all I could tell for this week. Adios! God bless!

Can’t Explain But I’ve Been at CLOUD NINE
“You may be disabled in doing one thing but I’m sure you that you excel at another.”
A teacher was doubtlessly right by telling me that I shouldn’t consider our financial status as an obstruction to the dreams that I want to attain. Because whatever dreams I have, I’ll achieve them in time and with diligence.
The happiest moment I had was this weeks Wednesday. It was because it was the day that I, together with nine others, competed in a group contest called “Jazz Chant”. I was so glad because it was the first contest that I joined for the school and it was the first contest I won in the Division Level. And with that victory, I really thank those that I contended with and specially our coach for not losing faith in me. And we won it as a group, thank you!
It was also in this week that we transferred to our new rooms at the Maliksi Building. It was so tiring that up to now that I am typing this, my body still hurts. But it was all worth it after I saw that we finally saw that our room was transferred completely. I just hope that the transferring will be complete by next week especially with the ceiling and wall fans.
That’s all that I could share for this week. I wish everyone another blissful and productive week and to never to call unto our Lord. God bless!

Alucinante!
Everything has its meanings but those may appear at the near ending...
I was overwhelmed by the news that I got that I’ll be part of the group contending for Jazz Chant. It was overwhelming for the reason that I am the kind of person that has a fear of the many faces focusing on one place or in other words, the stage. I have a fear of the stage. I don’t if it’s because of the lack of confidence but that’s what I really feel. I just hope that I wouldn’t disappoint those who trusted me of being in the team.
We just had our vigil on the last day of this week. At first, I thought of not joining the vigil but my intuitions were wrong and it was worth it to join the vigil. Even if we look like vampires because of the huge eye bags, nothings is triumphs against the experience we had and to admit, we already have a second birthday which is November 6. The whole experience deviated from the saying, “Save the best for last” because the best part of the vigil came at the beginning which made us all realize what we needed to realize.
We also had our Spanish Class this week. I can’t say that it’s the first because we already had it before. The class was so fun that even if the class was already done, we were still murmuring the words that we just learned.
That’s all that I could tell for this week. I just hope that God would bless us Jazz Chanters and everyone else.
Alucinante!

Sem-break??...XD
We all hope for change, all of us. There is this continuous cycle of us humans of hoping for something to change and for things to be better for us. But haven't we realized that we always get we want, the only problem is that when we get "it"; we look for other things and we never get contented on one thing. That's quite a bummer but we can't really avoid it. It's just there, it's natural. Let's just say it can't be changed but it can be improved, makes sense? Some may say it doesn't but it does, for me.
We've just gone through one of the critical phase of studying, our periodical test. We can always say that it went out well but what thoroughly determines that, will be the result of the pt which I eagerly wait for. But as always, I hope for the best.
Actually there's not much to say about this week which makes this blog, which is the first blog for the third grading, quite a bad start. But I don't really have a choice, this is all that I could say because we did not have our camp for the rovers and its depressing but it has been rescheduled so there's always a rainbow after the rain, heheXP.
That's all for this week. God bless everyone.

,..Jazz Chanters Rule!!..,,
Things just fall into their rightful places.
When we say that things always turn out to be what they are really meant to be doesn't necessarily mean that we do not need to do anything to make our lives better. It is just an encouragement for us to accept that whatever happens to us, happens for a reason. And everything is still up to us and on what we do.
Our section doesn't seem to be complete as one after another of our classmates are being pulled out for certain contests that they are joining. I sometimes miss the time that the whole section is complete and we have that "family bonding" because we're already a family. So like a family, when one member is not there it is natural for us to miss them and our times with them. Whoo! Drama!. But seriously, the sections really seems incomplete not only physically but also emotionally.
I really would like to congratulate the contestants for Jazz Chant for winning their contest. And to be honest, I'm already astounded with their practice performance. They were really the best I have ever seen!
This would be the last blog for my second grading but I'm disappointed with myself that I haven't got much to tell for this week. I wish and hope for the best of everyone.

Spotlight on.... FRIDAY!!!!
The start of the week was of the norms but it got more different each day.
Because of the upcoming Regional Science Camp at Laguna, many of our class joined but I was not able to join because of financial problems. So for the reason that some of us joined, many were excused and the class was almost divided to half: the campers who were practicing and the non-campers who did not join either because of financial problems or permission problems.
Even with the lack of body parts, our section was still able to carry out our duties even if we also had the feeling of longing for our other classmates. The section somewhat lacked a body part or lacked a member of the family because half of the class was not there.
But at the same time, the pressure of too many assignments and projects seem to have been lifted at the same time that our classmates went to the camp. I’m not saying that we were better off without our other classmates because we’re not. I think that it was just the coincidence. Our “relaxation” took its toll last Friday when almost ¾ of the teachers were not there and most did not leave any seatwork so we really had a rest last Friday. But even if there were no teachers, we tried to keep our discipline up so we won’t be scolded.
I think that that’s all I can tell for this week. The PT week is quickly approaching. I just hope for the best of everyone.

,, Rejoice!, That's What's To Be Done,,
"Every story not only love stories has its happy ending"
Never lose hope, that's what I'll always do because I have proven that nothing never stays unsettled. "If problems sometimes come in bunch, triumphs do too."
Some say that they are sick of their life because it's as if when one problem comes another comes and one after another comes after it. They say that problems come in bunch. Actually, problems are not to be considered as "problems", they should be called and treated as "challenges". Because a problem is totally different to a challenge. A problem is something that bothers you and makes you see that its as if you can't do it. While a challenge on the other hand is something that gives you improvement, does something good to you and most of all, teaches you something.
Life is full of challenges, that's definitely through. For me, this quote was made not to tell everyone that they life is full of things that would make life harder for them. I think, this quote was made to tell everyone that life has a big space for improvement because it's full of "challenges" that we can overcome because God never gives us challenges that he knows we can't overcome.
I'm just so happy that one of my friends,actually one of my closest friends, was once again my friend. To clear it up, I was in somewhat bad terms with her for quite a long period of time but I'm glad that she accepted my apologies and once again, we were friends again and I hope that it'll be forever.
This week was the most tiring week for the record. Know why? Because I slept at 12 midnight for 4 days straight. That was why at the last day, my vision was already blurred and that everything was turning but I was glad that I was able to go through the day in one peace.
I think that that's all I could tell for this week. I hope that the coming weeks will be the best in every way.

..,,Momentum Breakdown,,..
October 4, 2009
“Nothing ever stays unsettled”, something I learned for the mere one day of class this week. Sometimes resettlement may seem to be impossible but I realized that within the relationship of two true friends nothing really remains unsettled and broken. Misunderstandings and cat-dog situations are quite normal for friends, I realized. And the most important thing about friendship is to never lose hope of getting everything fixed between each and everyone of your true friends.
To be honest, I did not understand at first what I felt when it was announced that there were no classes up to Friday. At the moment of the announcement, everybody jumped with joy regardless of the reminder of our adviser that we should not shout once she gives the announcement. At that same time, it happened, I was able to be in good terms with my longest friend who was my friend when I was still in pre-school. Even if most of the time we are fighting, we still remain as good friends as we are before and up to forever. One thing that I value the most is friendship. I just don’t know why but I think that I value it more than my life because what’s life without friends, right?
Going back to the one I’m saying, I really did not understand what I felt at that time because I was not sure if I’ll be happy or what because of the announcement. Even at the time that I got home, I was still uneasy with what I’m feeling. I think that my momentum was really stopped abruptly so I was really far from being at ease at that time. That’s the only explanation that I could think about.
That’s all that I could share for this week. And one thing that we should remember is that even if we think that we are flooded with problems, we should never run out of reasons to try to solve and fix each and every problem that comes our way. May God bless each and everyone of us.

,,..Keep Holding On Even If There's Nothing To Hold On To..,,
It's really to do things everyday at the same rate, in the same way and at the same time. But even if it seems that we can't do them again and again we still try to do. I think it's a human necessity to hope of doing them again and better than the way we did them before. It is within human nature to do something perfectly and even if we know that no one can do anything perfectly, we still try to do our best to have it close to perfection.
As a student, we do the same things again and again. We wake up in the morning, eat our breakfast, prepare for school, go to school, study, listen, study again, listen again, go home, do our home works and lastly, to sleep soundly after a tiring day. If you think of it in advance it seems that its quite boring to do and that you can't do it. But do you know what makes the day exciting regardless of the robotic and mechanic things that we do? It's the leisure and bonding times that we share with our friends and our dear teacher. And it's totally unique for each day that passes. That's what makes studying worth my while even if it's really brain-smashing when I'm studying.
This week is the everyone-feared P.T. week. My first P.T. day was somewhat started incorrectly and it continued up to the last subject that I took, so It's sad to say that I'll not be shocked if I fail most of the periodical tests but I still hope that I won't. For the second day, it was just fine but I'm indefinite with what results it may give me. I just hope for all of the best.
I can say that this is one of my best weeks even if I was late on our Friday math meeting because of sleeping too late. I was told by our teacher to stay out of the room for her period. And that really made me down for the whole day and also for the fact that we did not have any electricity for almost the whole day.
Knowing of the conspiracy that's somewhat against me. It really keeps me down everyday. But I try to keep a hold of myself despite everyone doubting me. I just hope that everything would get better for the next few weeks. That's all I could tell for this week. So see you until next time.

..,,False Intuitions..,,
"Things that are simple for you, maybe a big thing for others"
That's all I can tell for this week because I've been to down and I can't remember well what happened this week. I'm sorry for that. Again, I thank those who remained loyal to me as a friend. I'm really glad that I have them
Saturday, September 12, 2009
..,,Don't Blame Everything to Others..,,
"Everything has its way of leading you to it, it's just up to you if you'll lead yourself to it"
Things that happened to us can't always be blamed unto others. Haven't we thought of the fact that it may have happened because of our doings? Some may say that they did it because they did not have any choice but that single choice that they made. That I do not believe because I believe that everyone has more than one choice in all the choices that they make in life.
Things like that can be related specially to the life of being a student. Some may say that I did that because they were not able to do it because of something else. But haven't they thought of the chance they had all along? I may say that I myself may do it some time in my life but doing it repeatedly is somewhat unexcusable.
Ok! Quit the drama. Going to what happened this week, I can say it was fine, except with our poem recital that did not go out that well. I myself did not perform well. If only I managed to perform well.
We also had somewhat an "Intrams". But I'm not quite sure if it will be every Friday. We just wish it'll just be two straight days so we'll really enjoy it. But let's be contented with what we have for now.
I think that's all that I'll put up for this week. I hope I'll be able to do more than my best for my studies. I just hope for the best for everyone.

,,..Never Backing Down..,,
"Everything that has happened is a part of a much bigger event that will happen in the future"
I just can't explain what I feel at this point in time that I made this entry in my blog account. I don't know if I should be glad, if I should be happy, if I should be angry or if I should be ashamed of what just happened. But I feel like something is pulling me down, I feel somewhat "down".
Our club, the "Filipino Club" had its, I can say, successful celebration of the "Buwan ng Wika". Selected third years had a performance. We felt happy and that our hardships were worth it after we performed. Because we think that we had performed well and we received good comments aside from the comments that I think were jokes specially those saying that our costume was like from a cult group. We just took all the comments as compliments. Overall the program was entertaining except the part that the school level officers of our club had to sing a farewell to those who attended the program.
The spotlights of the week were focused on a single event, not the Buwan ng Wika celebration, but the PTC. Regarding my grades, I was happy with it but I'll be improving it for the gradings to come. I was only disappointed about myself to the fact that I was not able to reach the top 10 achievers, I was even 16th! Whew. I was just glad that my parents understood the "situation". Even if it was like that, I'm still thankful to Him. Thanks to Him that I did not have any failing grades. I'll just improve myself for the coming school days.
That's all to tell for this week, my mind already went blank. I'll just be happy with what's happening to me now even if it's bad. Because it's part of a bigger plan ahead of me and I'm never backing down from any challenge waiting ahead of me!

,.Judgement Day.,
"I Love You is not a question, It's a statement"
Got the meaning of that? Just dig deeper and try to understand it well and you'll be able to know what I mean. It's not that I said it because of what I'm feeling at the time that I did this blog. But I put it here because it really explains something.
This week was very busy for me but I think it's really normal for my level. haha. We'll be celebrating our Buwan ng Wika this coming week. Actually it's quite late but I'm happy that our club managed to pursue our plans.
I'll be a part of the presentation of the 3rd Year for the celebration but I'm really nervous about it because dancing is somewhat one of my depressions. Haha. To admit it, I'm really not that good in dancing. But I want to be good at it, maybe it's just not my time.
It's been some time since we had our Periodical Test and in time, the PTC for our level will be taking place and I'm nervous because of my grades. I just hope that I'll be getting good grades because I really want to make my parents proud. The only thing that I think that I can give to them as a gift are my success and the honor that I give to them as their son. They always tell me that I should study well because it's very important. And I always see the smile on their faces whenever I get good grades and I achieve something.
Soon, I'll be seeing the judgement for the things I've done for the past quarter. I just hope it'll be good and it'll be able to put a smile on my parents' faces.

Something To Think About
This week was quite depressing for the fact that I think that I'm doing my best but still it seems that my best is not enough. To be honest, I really aim to be in the Top Ten Achievers, not for the fact that I want to be boastful or anything like that, it's just because I really want to make my parents proud and to prove to them that I really do my best and that their hardships for me was not wasted. And I really aspire to be in the top ten.
But looking into the brighter side of life, for the record, I was able to get a high p.t. score in our A.P. subject. I was really happy when that happened. I really happy that I'll be able to pull that off again.
One that's quite odd is that, now, whenever I feel that I have low scores, I feel like the whole earth crashed around me and was destroyed to pieces, I just don't know why. But I think it's just now that I'm truly decided to work and study harder to achieve the goals that I aim for. Whew! I really hope that I'll be better this time around.
Actually that's all I wanna say for now. It's quite short but it really tells some things about what I feel. That's all for now.

..,,The END has passed,,.. and A New Beginning Shall Come,,.. XD
We have just gone through our P.T. 1.2. And it was quite exhausting and tiring but that's what we'll for the next 10 years (maybe?). And I just hope that I'll get better grades this time around. And I hope that I'll be a part of the top ten achievers for this quarter because that's what I really aim for, not to boast for it but for my parents to be proud of me and to have a sense of self - fulfillment.
Actually there's not much to tell for this week except for the P.T. that I have mentioned earlier and the Maragondon's Town Fiesta which was really fun.
The fiesta was really fun, and of course it was because of the food and the fun I had with my friends. We also went to the house of our English Teacher, but It's not because we wanted to eat there but because we wanted to let her know that we did not neglect her.
But we were not able to go to all the places that we wanted to go to but I'm just thankful that everything was fine and that we all went home safe and sound.
And that's all to tell for this week , I really hope that I'll be in the Top Ten achievers. Adios! Take care....

..The END is near...
Yesterday was just the burial of former President Cory Aquino. I watched the whole scene as it happened in the television. To be honest, I was really overwhelmed with what she really did for our country. She was really more than what I first knew of her as the "Yellow Lady". And because of knowing this, I really got teary eyed with her burial. I was somewhat affected with what happened to her. But a good thing is that I turned the channel to TV5 and the show was called "Ogags", and it really changed the emotion in the house because we all laughed our hearts out. But kidding aside, it was really a loss for the country. As what me and my father talked about, if our president still tries to push through with Con-Ass while the country people's emotion is at its height, a probable "EDSA People Power III" might transpire. I wonder if that will really happen.. hahaha. But again to the serious side, I just wish that our country will be able to give the honor that Tita Cory deserves.
And yes! We had our new sitting arrangement and my seatmate was still Alexis. haha. Something was quite wrong with the arrangement. Do you know it? The thing that's wrong is that I'm in the front row which was not really the right place considering my height. But I better be contented because my seat is near my locker. Whuhaha!!!
We'll be doing more experiments in our Chemistry subject, I think. But I hate that I haven't done anything good in the past activities, I just hope I'll be doing something good next time. There's always a next time.
I'm really happy this week. Maybe because of insipiration? haha. joke only (very joke eh that's different, get it?) I'm just happy that I have the more energy to do what I have to do each day.
Another thing is that, we went to Cyron's house yesterday because we had to do one of our projects. It was really a coincidence that it was the birthday of his mother so we ate at Fercandz. haha. Atleast we managed to do almost 75% of the project and I think that we'll be going back on Saturday to finish it. I just hope we'll manage to pull it off.
Hmmm... PT 1.2 is near. I should review well to have good grades because I really aim to be in the top ten. The END of the first grading is near. That's all to tell for this week. Bye. Always smile!!!!
Really Tiring!!! x_x
If last week was like the "Free Week", this week may have been the most tiring week ever. And even up to now I'm still doing many things. To be honest I think that I slept at 12 for almost 4 times this week. So.. haha... that was really tiring! Whew, but I'm glad that I went through it without a scratch. Haha.. just joking.
Through all the problems that I've gone through, there was always Someone who always stayed with me and never left me and who always helped me even if I have sinned against him. Do you know who He is? He's the only one our Lord, Jesus. I'm really thankful that He was always there for me and He never left me.
The 4th Years will be taking their UPCAT today, I hope that most of them will pass it. And hope by next year I'll be able to pass that test and I hope that I'll pass it because I really want to study in UP. I want to study there because of its quality education and its affordable tuition fee and because of being a mid - class family, it will really be a relief for my parents if I'll be able to study there.
The 1st quarter is almost near its end and I'm just hoping that I'd be part of the top ten achievers of the Third Year and I really want to make my parents proud specially my father. The reason is, every time someone asks my father about me and my brother, he always answers that were performing well in school and he's really proud of us. That's why I don't really want to disappoint him and my mother.
This week was really a "blender". A "blender" because it was really a mixture of everything. My world was the "blender" and I was one of the things being blended with many other things. With I think four clubs, I just hope that I'll be performing well in all of them, because I can't divide myself into four. My situation is somewhat the same with my bestfriend, Emer. He also joined a number of clubs that he can't sometimes decide to which meeting to go to. That's why were always in a hustle.
And I think, that's all to tell for this week. I'm just looking forward to a brighter future for me and a great present for me.

It Wasn't That Bad....
The event that stood out this week was the seminar - workshop that the Science Club led. At first I thought that it would really be boring and I was not that interested and only my mother was. And I came more to thinking that it was boring when I saw in the program that there was no presentations or anything, it was just plain seminar - workshop. But after the program has started, I became more and more interested because of the topic and the techniques they are teaching. And I did not notice that time was passing by because I really became interested with it. At the end of the seminar, I really learned many things, especially those about capsulizing.
Our Chemistry teacher was gone for a week and we also did not have any seatwork so we really rested at our Chemistry time. From the news we got, some said that ma'am's daughter got sick so she had to take care of her. So it was also quite worrying because her daughter has been sick for almost 5 days. I just hope that she'll feel ok and get well already.
Ma'am Arceo's birthday was also last Monday so we made it special because she has been our teacher for almost 2 years and she has been very good to us. So we made it like a program where there was an M.C. and there were also presentations. And also why would we forget the cake? Of course we had one for ma'am and it was her favorite color, violet.
I think that, that's all to tell for this week. I just don't know why it's only a few. But I was really happy this week. Not only that I was happy, but I was VERY happy. That's all, until next time. Bye.

Whooo!!! Holiday!!!!
I really liked this song entitled "I Hate to be with you When People Find Out What This Song is About", besides its long title, I find the song really interesting because of its lyrics.
This week was somewhat what they may call a "Holiday", because two of our subject teachers got sick so we did not have any class. It's a "Holiday", but not in the sense that we are happy that they got sick, of course, we also got curious and worried about what happened to them. So we had quite of a rest from the days that we also have that we almost do not stand from our chairs and we may have the chance once we get our things from our locker.
This week was really rainy. But just like what Sir said, the Philippines has two seasons, namely, the rainy and the sunny season, sunny in the morning and rainy in the afternoon. After Sir said that, we immediately thought about it and yes it was really true and we also observed it.
The Induction of the Club Officers was held last Friday. The band of our section, "Between Benevolence", performed as one of the ice breakers and even without enough practice, I was really amazed that they managed to perform well. Some other bands from the junior level and senior level also performed and they were also amazing. Saliw also performed, and as to what we could expect from Saliw, they gave an outstanding performance. And I was somewhat surprised with what I did because it was only at that time that I already joined 3 clubs already. I was shocked with that because, this past few years I only joined one club. Overall, the induction was really amazing even though it was raining very hard at that time.
Actually, that's all to tell for this week. And one last thing, I was quite disappointed that I had some unsatisfying scores in my P.T. but I think, I'll just try next time. I hope that I'll get better grades. That's all to tell for this week, until next time. Bye.

A Tiring Week
YES!!! If you noticed it, I capitalized all of the letters of the word "yes" because I had just removed one thorn from my heart or I may say, I have just got through the first of the 8(?) Periodical Tests that were always having. It was really a relief. Maybe most of the students may think of the same. It was because of reviewing almost day and night we had our chance to prove ourselves worthy of studying at our beloved school. So now we are waiting on what score we had and what our studying gave us.
One of the highlights of this week was the recent project of the Research Club, The Research Symposium where a guest speaker was invited to give lectures on making a scientific paper. And I'm truly a proud member of the Research Club and I really tried to do my best to contribute on making the program successful. The guest speaker was really good in speaking and he had humor on the way he speaks which helped remove the boredom from the students. We learned so much things, even those that are far from the topic we are tackling.
We already said our farewells, goodlucks and see you again phrases to our fellow students who will be going to Baguio for a Leadership Training at the Teacher's Camp. I really wanted to go there but we just don't have the money for it. So I'll just be contented with what I have and what I'm getting. And I'm somewhat temporarily "taking over" the role of John Paul for the class because I'm the Vice President of our class and I really hope that our class will really cooperate with me and that there will be no problems.
Actually, I think that, that's all to tell for this week. But to admit it, this week was really tiring. I hope for the best of luck for everyone and I hope that everyone will be well. And that's all for this week. Adios!

Conspiracy of Silence (?)
This week has been quite weird. There were many things to be kept secret from each other and from others as well. But there are secrets that is meant to be brought out to public, with some of it actually just a hearsay that has been manipulated and changed maybe for the worst or maybe for the best.
Oh, the ones that I said doesn't really matter.
This week has been quite depressing at some views but still some really makes you jump with joy. And let us just look at the brighter side of life and view life as something better and enjoyful.
One good news is that we had our Spanish Class which I have been waiting for, even if it was just the summer vacation. And oh am I glad that we already had it.
I just realized that being a member of more than one club is really confusing. First, I had to do my work as a Filipino Club Vice-President, then, I had to do my articles for the Molecules (and I hope they are good) and lastly, I had to attend to my commitments as a 3rd Research Club auditor, specially when we have this upcoming program. And there is our P.T. 1.1 coming up. But hey, those are just challenges so I have to surpass them no matter what.
And after we had many classmates infected with flu, I heard the news that almost 7 students from the section of 3 oxygen are all infected with flu at the same time. I just hope that the disinfecting of rooms that the overall 3rd year PTA is doing will really stop the flu from spreading to other students. It's really impressing because the PTA really cares for their sons and daughters.
And, I think that's all that I have to tell for this week. We are having our periodical test next week so I hope I'll be able to do it well and answer it correctly. I also wish that I'll have good grades. That all for this week. Adios!!!
Giving UP!!!!
Studying at Cavite National Science High School can get somewhat depressing when you're just starting. I said that because I somewhat felt it when I was just a 1st year student and I can also hear and observe it from the 1st of this year. But once you get used to the studies, projects and everything, the depression may be lessened.
But once you progress it still can get to you. When the fear of failing and fear of being far from your friends and teachers get to you maybe you'll rethink of the picture of you giving up and leaving CNSHS. That's what somewhat happens to me.
There is this one thing that really pissed me off these past few days. It's about three words, namely, crushes, courting and controversies. I'll just not tell what it’s all about but it really pissed me off to the extent that I wanted to talk to the person directly involved with it. But I had to control myself because I don't want to be kicked out from school and be away from my friends.
Many of the students from other schools consider studying at CNSHS as a "torture" because of the stories that they hear. But from my point of view, I consider it a pleasure because I have many friends that accompany me everyday and definitely makes me happy. And another thing is the things and ideas that I learn from school because after I have started studying at CNSHS, I have somewhat changed in the things that I do and the ideas that I use everyday. I am now having a feeling of self-fulfillment most of the time.
So in an overall point of view of my 2 years and more at CNSHS I have been very happy despite the depressions and problems. Thanks to my friends who help and make me happy, to my family who has always assisted and supported me all the way and for the teachers who have always kept watch of us and gave us advices even in our ups and downs of studying. Thanks to you all that I haven't given up studying at CNSHS.

First and Last Day of Class
My brother's birthday was just yesterday. He just turned 10, I think. Oh, and that was only something to share.
Actually, I don't have that much to tell for I only attended one day at school this week. Friday was my first and last day at school for this week. Do you know why? It was because, starting last Sunday, I suffered from flu and some other weird thing that I just couldn't explain for now. But it made me sick for more than 4 days. I was quite glad that classes were suspended for two days (Wednesday & Thursday) because I did not have that many things to lose for not going to class because of the flu. Because while my temperature reached 40 degrees Celsius, I was still thinking of what's happening to school. I really hate it when I miss something at school. Aside from the studies, I also missed my friends from the 1st year and 3rd year alike.
I had many regrets for not attending the class for two days. One of it was, I was not able to join the morning exercises that we worked hard on. Because we still practiced that last Saturday before I got sick and I really wanted to perform. I just don't know why. But I was glad that our English Teacher and the adviser of Saliw Dance Club, Ma'am Mae, was amazed and proud of what they did. I'm already happy with that even if I did not manage to join and actually perform it.
It was a surprise that I managed to go to school last Friday because I was still not feeling well but I had to go to school to attend even the last day of classes. I tried to do my work in school even if my headache was trying to get the best of me and is somewhat telling me to stop what I'm doing and to just go home and rest. But I did not let that simple headache and cough to stop me and I still managed to finish the day bringing with me 2 fully loaded bags.
Last Friday was also exciting because of the introduction of the Earthwatch Teens candidates. It was really amusing because most of the contestants were my friends, one of them was Mizpah. So even if I was not feeling well, I still tried to cheer for them. I was really proud and amazed of them because I can't do those kind of things.
And that's all, as I said, the day ended with me carrying two fully loaded bags and bringing with me a very special gift that someone gave me. I also knew that I was part of the Spanish Class. And that's how the first and last day of class I had for this week ended.

A Sad Week
While typing this blog of mine, I'm just wondering, how personal could I make this blog? But I think I had made up my mind while typing this. And I hope this will be quite personal.
Every time we have classes in some subjects, I try to restrain myself from looking at the window. I just can't tell why. But sometimes I just can't stop it so I look at the window and my mind flies. I just hate it when that happens. But I, myself, try to be the best of what I am.
Sometimes I just can't stop myself but I really feel sleepy with some subjects even if the lesson is really interesting and the teacher is also good in teaching. I think because I really sleep late at night because of my assignments. Because most of the time, I'm we have many assignments. My classmates always tell me to do my assignments at school but I always remember what our teachers say, "that's why it's called homework because its work done at home". That's I always do all of it at home but I just can't manage to sleep that early because of my assignments. But I'm not trying to offend the teachers, I'm just explaining my side. But that's the challenge of studying, right? So I just have to do my best.
Later this week, we have received a shocking news, and it really made us sad. That the husband of Ma'am Macaranas has just passed away. It was really a bad news for me because Ma'am has been a good teacher/adviser to me when I was just starting my life at CNSHS. And I know that she already had enough of the problems in the world and yet still some come to her to make her feel bad. That's why last Saturday, I, together with John Paul and some other friends, went to the place of Ma'am Macaranas. If I can just help Ma'am to feel better because I really know that it's really hard to loose someone you love. I hope that she'll feel better.
We also had our 1st flag retreat, with us, wearing our Boy Scout uniform. Whahu! I really like that uniform. But the sad part is, I was scolded by our platoon leader for I had long hair. But looking into the brighter side, our leader did not tell me to squat. Yes!
I also have this difficulty with at least two subjects, AP and Chemistry but I'll try to improve myself with regards to those subjects. And I hope I can do it.
That's all for this week, I hope I had shared to you what you expected me to share.

...A Title Almost Forgotten....
Hey! I'm back. It's our country's Independence Day and we are quite happy because we have no classes. Isn't that something to celebrate. Oh. That's just a joke. I mean, we really have to celebrate and rejoice for this day because this was the day that our country got free from the clutches of foreign control. And this was with the help of many filipinos, some known and some others not. Thanks to them that we are know walking freely without anyone's control and we can act accordingly to our own will. Thanks to them!
This week was quite tiring yet exciting. After staying for more than two weeks at the math center, we are know staying at the 3N room which was supposed to be our room at the start of classes. So we had to bring our things and some other things down. It was quite funny because it was like another brigada for us, 3rd year students. We were all working hard and helping each other in order to finish early and thanks to our teamwork together with our adviser and teachers that we were able to finish the job at the end of the day. And that was really tiring.
We also had our first flag retreat for our school year 2009-2010, but it was quite disappointing at the part of the students because we really wished that our first flag retreat was when we had our scouting uniforms on. Our principal also made mention on her speech about us singing "Silent Night". After she said that we all somewhat bursted laughing because we were the ones who were singing that. But we had quite the reason for it. It was because we had this assignment in our Music subject and we were brainstorming at that time. She also mentioned about us having health kits and we were quite happy that they were worried about their students condition. There was also this order by DepEd that we should watch the movie entitled "Baler" so know we are looking for a copy of that movie.
I also had fun in all of our subjects because we had different kinds of activies like the one we had in our social studies where we were to guess what theory of Earth's creation it was with some of our team mates drawing something about it and we all enjoyed that. We also had this recitation about some popular Chemists and it really was food for the brain. We also had fun with our recitations in English and the other subjects. It also Ma'am Lim's birthday and I didn't quite know about it until I got to school. So we all sang a song in the advertisements on tv which featured a brand of ice cream.
Oh? I think that's all that I can remember for this week. I know what I wrote was quite boring but It's what I experienced right? I just wanted to share with you. I hope you liked it even if its like that.

..My First Week, My First Impression..
Whew! My first week in school just ended. And what do you know? It ended and I was happy, thanks to some special friends and best friends which made me so happy. And after that I came home with a smile on my face. Am I not glad to be like that!
My week was very fine even if I had some downs with my first quizzes in some subjects. Some subjects were surprisingly hard and the other was surprisingly not that hard. But hey! It's just the first week, there's more to it than what meets the eye.
At the last day of the week, I was quite ecstatic because our new Boy Scout uniform passed my taste with regards to the color and to the absence of "accessories". And when I said accessories, I was referring to the neckerchief which we had when we were at our 1st and 2nd year days. I quite of "hated" it because it added to the heat produced by the layers of clothes I was wearing and it made me sweat a lot.
Also last Friday and Thursday the Saliw Dance Club held its yearly audition. It was quite a surprise because many of my friends auditioned for the club and most of them passed, and I was very proud and happy for them. But for those who were not able to pass the audition, I told them that they were good but maybe it's not yet their time and they should try again in the next audition.
And the rest of the week was quite the same, we had our daily subject lesson and we had some quizzes. And we had this new club which was the "Research Club". I was happy that John Paul was the elected as president because he's the best man for that place. And I was happy that I was elected as auditor and I'll try my best to do what I need to do.
And that's all I'm going to put for this weeks blog. I hope you liked it.

First Day High!!!!!! (corny)
Yes! It's the first day of school. I'm quite excited because I'll be seeing my old friends and also my two (?) new friends. Wouldn't that make anyone excited? Right?
Is there another good way to start my school year 2009-2010 than to have a very delicious packed lunch? Yummy!
Now, kidding aside, I started my day quite early. Because of waking up at my scheduled time of 4:45 a.m., I woke up at around 4:00 a.m. And do you know what I did? I just stared at the ceiling for almost 45 minutes and only thinking about what might happen at school. Isn't that weird? And do you know why I did that? It's only because of the reason that my mother will scold me for waking up at that time.
For the rest of the day at school, almost the same things happened; our subject teachers oriented us with subject matters and also about our requirements. But certainly, it was quite fun it was..... I just don't know why! But I know that I had fun with that.
Whew! And my day ended with me quite exhausted and heading home.
Wow. That was very short and this actually my first time to make a blog, I hope you liked it. That's all, see you next time!
