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.

Something Bizarre
February 6, 2010
Sometimes, after you’ve got used to having bad things happening to you, you quite miss them after their gone. That’s true for some of us right? It is in our nature to miss things that we are used to doing. But the bad part is we miss them even if they were bad things that happened but still they’re really missing, right?
Some things are better off gone, that’s what others say and it’s quite true. But those that should we hardly wish to stay with us and we carefully prevent from disappearing are those that we are separated from. And the big question arises after those we “cared for” vanishes, are they really better off gone? Some people say that we as who we are know what’s better for our self but the truth is, we really can’t tell the genuine right from the genuine left. The reason behind this is that we just base our standards for right or wrong on our own judgement that’s why we do it because we think that it was the right thing to do.
But the world is constantly changing. It has been changing for billions of years and will continue to do so. And us, humans as its inhabitants will continually change with it until our expiry comes. And together with this continuous change, we continuously look for the truth and the right way of telling the right from the wrong. And that search will just be one of the bizarre things in our world that will be in the list of man’s unsolved mysteries.

In the Midst Making Decisions
January 30, 2010
It is surely an undeniable fact that our world is not in complete and true peace. In the farthest corner and the smallest place, there still sprouts anger, vengeance and envy. It my start as a small dark spot in a huge white paper but then it slowly grows and develops until it gives way to the sprouting of things of its likes. Until it slowly eats you up and surely swallow you whole and piece by piece it will take you down and take all that you cared for and all that’s precious to you.
But in the middle of the provoker and the provoked, there stand someone which sheds light as darkness devours everything. Who else but God!, he who is in the heavens above, who stays with us through thick and thin. He gives us the choice while showing us the difference between the right and the wrong but still gives us the right to decide for ourselves. He entrusted us this freedom, knowing that we could withstand the continuous and never – ending strike of temptation. He even gave His own Son just to help us be cleansed of our sins.
But this freedom was only given with attached consequences. Like Isaac Newton’s Third Law of Motion, “For every action, there is an opposite and equal reaction”, we could correlate that for everything we do, we get the same thing in equal intensity so if we do well we receive good things. So in other words, the freedom was given to us for us to use it in the right way.

Frienship’s the Best Way to Go
January 17 -22, 2010
One thing I learned in life is to greatly depend on friends. I just don’t know why but it seemed to me that I become emotionally attached to my friends in a way that I love them so much. But one thing I also learned is to be independent, someone told me that I may have friends today but what about tommorrow, the other day, next month or next year? I just can’t tell but maybe one day or another they may just disappear like a bubble which peacefully floats and entertains you but suddenly it disappears without you having knowledge why it did.
It may seem confusing but I thought of the best way and it’s neither and either of the two that I mentioned. With me being very attached to my friends, I just decided to remain as I am today but I’ll do my best to make them stay and to never lose them. Maybe I’d go crazy if I lose one of my closest friends. It may sound exaggerated but that’s how I feel. There was even this time that my bestfriend got offended with what I did and I felt like everything fell on me with one harsh blow and it really struck me hard.
Upon this week that transpired, there was just too many that happened, too many to tell them all and too many to keep track of them. It’s just that, I’m happy with my friends and God. Try it, it’s the best way to go.

Another Burden?
January 16, 2010
I thought at first that the five days at school was already a burden, we were even given more for adding another day of class which was Saturday. It’s not that I’m saying that the school’s decision was wrong but for me, I think that having Saturday classes is already a bad idea. I just don’t know, I feel something bad about it.
I know about the reason why we had this 6th day of class but I’m still objecting because I really think that it would not be good for both students and teachers. Because the five days of classes is already so much burden and adding a 6th day seems to be bad. I just don’t know, but it may be possible that students would have 6 nights of sleeping late and it may be a very big reason for over fatigue among students.
But that’s the decision and I won’t have anymore complains. I just hope that it would be of good for everyone.

Starting to Cope up
January 9, 2010
From the world of fun and relaxation, it’s time to go back to the real world, the world where we study and burn our eyebrows on every lesson and on every topic that we take. It was time to build our self to our study mode and to prepare for things to come.
And we started our 2010 with a bummer as our Social Studies’ teacher scolded us because we were not able to answer her questions about our lessons. I even thought that she was already giving us senseless reasons about our wrong answers with what she’s asking. But I think, we were still the one at fault and we should do better next time.
Then, we also rushed in making our Term Paper in Filipino because we lost our first set of surveys. But thank God and everyone who helped because we were able to pass it even if we were late for one day.
We also had our presentation for our Oratorical and Declamation piece and it made me realize something. It’s final; I have no future in Oration and Declamation. I seem to think of good ideas but the fear of the stage makes my knees weak and makes me forget what I thought I’ll do.
That’s all for this week, I just hope that I can cope up with all that’s happening and that I can feed my even larger appetite.

Aftermath
January 2, 2010
Slowly recovering from the damage that the beast inflicted on me, I tried to do things normally without the fear of another beast stalking me but I’ll never let my guard down again. Slowly things went back to normal.
Now a New Year approaches and our clan decided to celebrate the coming of something new at our Grandmother’s place because she already shed tears because our family was not complete last Christmas.
And we all hoped that the celebration would be the best and thank God, it all started well and we all enjoyed what happened. Except for what happened when my uncle tried to scare my Grandmother and she really was scared because she really stopped and did not move and her chest seemed to hurt. But thank God that nothing bad happened to her.
Now, I would like to thank those who were part of my 2009, from my parents to my friends, teachers and everyone who all played a crucial role in my 2009. I just hope that 2010 would be a better year for all of us. And may God continue blessing us.

At the Edge of Breaking... .. .
December 26, 2009
A monster that slowly entangled me with its slithery arms and slowly ate the parts of me that kept me going. This monster started stalking me with its stealthy attack maybe even before the time that he finally unveiled himself to me. And that unveiling truly stunned me to the point that almost all hope is lost and earth came crushing down on me. He assailed me on my weak parts and slowly... slowly... eating me... piece by piece.... until my foundations almost stood weakly and showed signs of frailty.
All of this would have continued if it was not for my friends who started sprouting from nowhere and started assisting me in my bout against the beast that slowly swallowed me. Some fought side by side with me and some strengthened my foundations to their full condition. Hope in my heart started rebuilding itself as I saw those who worked in close camaraderie with each other and who displayed never – ending hope for obtaining our victory against the beast we are facing. Once, there was this time that when the monster struck me with its powerful limbs, I felt dead for almost five minutes with all my senses failing and nothing seemed to be of significance.
Slowly... I started rebuilding myself. Something still seemed to be missing, the greatest weapon of all. Oh! How could I not think of it in the first place?!, the only powerful offense and sturdy defense in the whole galaxy! The only weapon that could finally put an end to the beast that brought me to the edge of breaking. God! How could I not think of You in the first place. Oh please may You in the Heavens above forgive me! I started praying onto Him and how I needed Him and how I hoped that He’d give me a second life for I did want my life to end with my friends hoping for my return. Slowly, I waited and I waited..... and waited... and patiently spent some time hoping for something to happen...
Finally, the Heavens heard me and brought my message to Him and He did not neglect my wishes and granted them. After the long strive of battling against the monster that almost brought everything to ashes, victory was once again brought by Him, almighty, unto us who know how to repent and ask of Him. Thank you God on the Heavens we hope to reach in order to be with you, our Father.

.....came the time that we’ve been waiting for, our Christmas party! Since the start of classes, I have waited for the Christmas party because I don’t know; I just really enjoy everything that happens on that day.
This year’s party was far from what we’re used to doing because the whole party was a bonding of the three sections. And I really thought of it as a really good idea. I was more excited on the event that takes place when the clock strikes 12 noon, eating! I was really excited about it because there’s just too many to choose from. But what happened was, I became a “bar tender”. Haha. But even if I was not able to taste everything and I was left with the siomai and lumpia, I still enjoyed the experience. Haha.
The afternoon party flowed smoothly with performances and games. What I enjoyed most was the “Pinoy Henyo” with Ma’am Mae and Ma’am Juliet as contestants. It really struck my funny bones. But I also hope that both advisers enjoyed the game.
The day ended with us playing “Longest Line” and our section won! Whahoo!
Distracted by all the fun and the excitement of that game, I did not notice the beast that was slowly stalking me, hunting me and was just looking for the right time to strike. And that night, it just found what it was looking for and that disabled me from attending the last day of classes.

Banquet for 31.. Pls!
December 12, 2009
I’ll just focus this week on the exact day that Naic had its fiesta. We were not allowed to go to the house of our classmate and my dear friend, Carissse. It was because of last year’s experience that we were so late on our first afternoon subject and it was good that we were not suspected for cutting classes because we asked permission from our adviser.
So to avoid what happened before, I was surprised that Carisse told me that her mother will bring the fiesta to our section! And isn’t that great? If we can’t go to the fiesta then the fiesta went to us! I thought that maybe it would be few. But when her mother came and brought the food, I was shocked to see that it was like a banquet and after we were allowed to eat, we all feasted on it and it was surely delicious. And I really liked it because there was “siomai” which is one of my many favourite foods.
As the phrase says, “After all the careless fun comes the aftermath”, after eating almost endlessly we saw the aftermath and we got our weapons, our dear brooms and dustpans and we cleaned our places.
Mouth watering isn’t it? And yes, it would only be once a week. And I’ll have to wait for another year to experience that again.

PTophobia?? Toinks..

Come to think of it, is it possible that we already have a phobia of having Periodical Tests? Kidding aside, I think it is already a hyperbole to say that we have that phobia.
There’s not that much to tell for this week except for the fact that we had our Periodical Test and the time it took us to review all our notes and our books. But one question still remains; did we do our best to deserve the scores we had? I hope so.
Looking on the brighter side, I was quite ecstatic for the fact that I did not take two periodical tests because I was exempted. That was the first exemption with periodical tests that I had. And that was certainly something new for me.
Back to the real world, this was the last week that our Physics teacher Mrs. Lim will teach us because she’ll be moving to another school. News was spreading that Mrs. Soriano would be the one to take her place. I just hope that everything would turn out fine for Mrs. Lim and Mrs. Soriano.
That’s all I could for now, I wish everyone the best and God bless.

He shoots! He scores??

I just realized now that I was not wrong for presenting myself as a participant in the Math Trail. At first, I really had doubts because if our team loses, embarrassment will certainly come right after. But I was thankful that our team was the triumphant among the other teams.
The trail really became a roller coaster especially for our team. Our start was really not that good for we were the last ones to finish the task. But when got our bearings and we had the momentum, we kept going for it with all the team members working. “Yes!” ,we all said as we noticed that we were on the lead. But the unexpected happened. Think of this and this will blow your mind, on the easiest task of the easiest topic that all of us have knowledge of, became the task that we took the longest time of doing it! So again, we were the last team. But luck certainly took our side as the last task was answering a Sudoku puzzle and we were able to finish it faster than the other teams. And finally, our team won.
I share this story not for boasting about it but for the reason that I did not expect that we would win.
This week’s spotlight was focused on the math festival and especially on the Mr. and Ms. Mathaba where I was a backup...XD. We were happy that our bet was the second. It was a good fight and we even thought that we were going to win.
That’s all to tell for this week... ADIOS!
