~Birthday Week~

What will you expect from this week? Do I still need to tell you? Of course, it is a week of another class. But deep inside our heart, it is the time we share the blessings of the lucky ones who will treat us. Yes!

The front page was Ma’am Arceo. We welcomed her with a warm welcome, Yeah!!! We made a program just for her. With Vhil as the emcee, we started the program with a doxology lead by Mizpah. Afterwards, we already had a special number, featuring the Eskinita Boyz (Arrenzo, Zeus, Lance, and Nikko). So much for that. Now, for the certificate. Actually it was boring when they did it. The fun there was the picture taking, yeah!!! And for the surprise, the cake. The cake was Red Ribbon. That’s all I can say. We never had a chance to bite that cake. But still, it was fine. Because of that, there was no class in Math. Yahoo!!!

Next birthday celebrant was Ma’am Lenny. We had a surprise for her. I don’t know if she knows it. Maybe it was not because it was a surprise. Lunchtime, all the former I-H students two years ago went to I-H room. It was fiesta. There were pancit and cake, and softdrinks. Ma’am Lenny is still Ma’am Lenny, of course. The I-H room is far better two years ago. What a room! The boys’ CR has still a hole which is a remembrance from us. Go there and find out! At last, it’s eating time. Cake was first, and pancit was next, of course. We all had fun there and we shared the past in that room. Yeah!

Another was Judy Ann Bautista. Nothing much happened here. But still, we greeted her a happy birthday, as usual. That was fun.

And for the last but not the least, was the birthday of Carrise. After classes, we went to Ice cream Man at the town of Maragondon. We bought there. Of course, that was for free… you know why. We took almost one hour there. We also went home almost nighttime. But at least, we were safe. No harm was made. Thanks to lord.

I love birthday!!!

~Disturbance~

What a great week! I love it! Yeah!!! Lots of thing happened this week. They were unexpected! But it’s alright, nothing dangerous. We were so hyper this week, but not so hyper, how sad. But the important thing is… we are still alive.

I was feeling bad this morning. I can’t understand what I’m feeling. I just don’t like the cold breeze today. It gives me shivers making me sick. The truth is… my stomach was a joke. I don’t know what I ate that time, but it was a joke. But the problem is… I kept on eating and eating. Physics time when a miraculous thing happened. Almost half of the class was called to go to gym to have some lecture of something I don’t know. They were the officers of the classroom. But that is not what I am talking about. I told Pau to warm me so that… you know. But that was ineffective. I can’t stand it anymore. Suddenly, I shouted “Ma’am, can I use the CR?” to Ma’am Physics (Ma’am Lim). I hurriedly went to the CR. What can I feel there? It was hell! It was hot. The toilet was very low. I can’t sit properly. I can also feel the pressure. I don’t need to describe what it looks like. What if someone knocks on the door? I must not leave a mark. I just laughed at myself. There was no soap inside, so I still ask Pau for soap, my hero. Atlast, I’m done! I felt refreshing, Oh Yeah!!!

With each passing day, I felt stronger and stronger because of that experience. I was proud of myself. I will never be ashamed if I will do that again. I just need soap and water, that’s all.

Now for the next topic, The INDUCTION! Nothing much happened here as far as I can remember. I just remembered about the special numbers. That was the only thing I was waiting for, the Bands. That’s all, no more no less.

Weekend was my favorite end. You know why, I don’t know also. But this time, it was cool. With Chelzza, as the birthday girl, she treated us one ticket in movie at SM Dasma. Lara, Denise, Vhil, Arianne, Jona, Emer, Lance, and Zeus were there also. It was a happy moment! But we were late, so we need to wait for the next flight. We strolled first and buy different things. We also bought popcorn bigger than us. At last, it’s game on. We watched Harry Potter and the I Forgot. I don’t really understand it. How the? What the? Who the? What a movie! Lots of question should be answered. But still, it was fun. This was the best day for this week because this is the first time I went to SM Dasma, no joke.

Goodbye!!!

~Brain Shortage~

This week, is the week wherein you squeeze your brain in answering the problems in a white sheet of paper. That was good. It was our first PT test in this school year. We were excited. This day, I wasn’t prepared. I just scanned a little bit and that was already fine for me. That’s why the results were unknown.

The first subject was Math. I was fine when I was answering that. It is just pure computation, no memorization at all. The time was only the problem. In Filipino, it was full of application and memorization. But it was fine because most of the questions are self-explanatory. English was next in line and it was full of identification. In Advanced Statistics, the test was a little bit easy since the topic is just a recap from our first year subject. We were already familiar. After the tests, we already went home. But Nicole, Lara, Eula, Paul, and I went to KFC ( Tanza ) and spent almost two hours. After that, we just walked home. I was very tired that day so I slept first and then reviewed…

The next day is the Second Day of examination, of course. Chemistry was full of choices. But some choices were uneasy and tricky. Physics was also full of multiple choices. There are also essays. In Anal Geom, it was fine, but the only problem was time. I did not finish it and some of my answers were unsure. But the hardest test for me was the test in AP. Even the topic is already given and some parts were already taken up, there were still parts which I can’t think of the answers. The only solution is to… guess!

After all the tests, we were all good. Pau, Lance, Arrenzo, Joshua, and Nikko went to Pau’s house and we ate tinola and fish there, yummy! After that, we had a little talk about our test. Then, we went back…

We finished fixing our bulletin board. We almost took a lifetime there. But still, it was fun.

Research Symposium was held this week. Full of lecturing should be done here. It started 7:30 am. At first, I was very active in lecturing. I even lectured the personality of the lecturer. But later on, I just want to chat with my friends. It was very boring there. Good thing it ended 5:00 pm!

~Unsuspected~

With the disease spreading in our room, there was a disinfection that happened. Of course, that is possible. Almost half of the class was sick last week. But that didn’t stop. There was a donation of a facemask and we should wear that. We are all weird when it happened! Luckily, no one saw us. We all removed it after Chemistry Time. Another was we were given one box of vitamins. It tasted like raw fish, yuck! That was useless. We stopped taking it this week…

Another new was the sitting arrangement. Last time, I was seated with Chelzza and Donita. With our new sitting arrangement, I was seated with Maedenne and Denise. I was less comfortable with my seat because I can’t stand when I’m seating there. That was the only problem. But it was still fine. At least, I’m still alive.

With a camera, we can easily make photos and videos for fun! There was a video of me when I ‘lagged’ for a few minutes. I never thought that I was on cam already. It’s ok. I was fine about that. Another is when we make a music video of “If You Seek Amy”. That was only a spoof because we can’t provide music of that song. But it was already funny. We also had a picture of ourselves which we are criminals.

Test Day was next week. I was not yet reviewing. But that was alright, it’s still next week. I knew I can do it. I can feel it. Yeah!!!

This week, lots of teachers were not present. I don’t know why. Maybe they were also victim of ah1n1 virus. Or maybe, they were just sick. I don’t know, why are you asking me? Good thing I was not one of them for now.

~The Question (Special Edition)~

Ma’am Mildred C. Atendido had asked us “have you ever give up in your life?” What a question! But with this question, we had come up to make this special blog- a blog with less insanity. Here I go:

Giving up to something is very common to us. What we had started will vanish in just split second when we give up. Thus, time and effort is forever lost. For me, giving up is a stupid thing, but even I can’t help it. There are still times when I want to give up…

IMPATIENCE is one factor in giving up. You can never finish anything if this is very true to you. Most students like me have this trait, especially on science and math. These subjects require a long solution and more time. One mistake can ruin all the solution and turns your score into zero. The time and effort are wasted. What a waste!

Another is LACK OF INTELLIGENCE… Without this, you cannot easily understand and know the answers needed. If you lack intelligence, you cannot prove that you are correct in what you are doing. You will be unsure to your answers. Without it, we can never make up to the deadline, and it will be time pressure for us, making us confused and shout ‘ma’am wait!’…

The last factor I can think of is being EASILY DISTRACTED… you will never finish if your attention in what you are doing is transferred to what interests you. It will be hard to concentrate if your surrounding is noisy and full of a thing that interests you. It causes you to focus more on the thing, not to the one you’re doing. Don’t let that happen!

All of the factors mentioned is true to me. But why am I still in this school? Why am I still alive? And why am I asking you questions which I can answer? It is simple. It is because I have my friends, family, God, and my luvidabi. They are the ones who prevent us from doing the negatives. They are the ones that influence me in every storm I stand. So I thanked them all. Without you, I am nothing...

And now, it is time to sleep. Never give up even if it’s almost impossible. There are nothing impossible for a diligent man.
