1) Congratulations to: Ray2 – 7th in news writing
Kuya Jman – 3rd in editorial writing
In the regionals presscon. Galing niyo talaga. Sobra!!! Galing din ni God. Good luck and more importantly God bless kuya jman.
2) Beryllium’s Christmas party was really fun. Galing gumawa ng games ni Lara.
3) Batang Masaya is an exceptional program. I was really glad to have had the chance to be part of it. Kuya JF and I were team leaders of the red team. The team won 1st prize. Red! Red! Red! Red! You could really see that the kids were having fun and the team leaders weren’t exceptions. We also enjoyed playing the games and listening to the stories. May magic chemical silang panlaba. :p At the end of the day, we were indescribably tired but we didn’t mind because it was very fulfilling as it was a great way to serve God and His children.
4) After visiting 168, Gateway, St. Francis Square, SM Megamall, Tiendesitas, Shangri-la and Market! Market!, I have a good idea of what I’m getting for all of my friends. I’ve started buying for some oh them. I love shopping especially during Christmas.
5) I’m really excited about CA3’s praise concert. Fun. Fun.
6) I’m going to buy cloth for my prom dress already and I’m still trying to choose from the designs I have at hand.

SEA Games
This might be a bit too late but I just wanted to share.
Isn’t it irritating to hear rumors about cheating in the SEA Games? What’s worse is we hear even our own countrymen considering it. Some are even quite certain about it. Personally, I believe no such cheating happened. I think the Philippines won fair and square. We obtained the over-all win by the strength and talent of the Filipino athletes and God’s grace (we couldn’t have won without His help). So here’s what I have to say to those who doubt the Philippines’ SEAG win.
First, there is no problem with the officiating personnel. The Philippines didn’t hire them. They’re not Filipinos. We can’t bribe them either because we don’t have the money to do so.
Second, most sports do not rely on its officials for the results. Take for example, athletics where we did really well in, bowling (It’s quite absurd though that Singapore thinks something was wrong with their lane which caused their losses.), swimming and many others. You know what I mean.
Third, it isn’t surprising that we’d end up with a better prize in our country than when the SEAG are held in foreign lands. People argue that when the competition is held outside the country, we don’t perform as well. Here’s why. It’s not even the home court advantage. That advantage lies only in the familiarity with the sporting venues, weather, wind speed, and anything else related to that. Sometimes, playing in front of your kababayans can even be quite pressuring. Like what the national bowling team’s coach said, when you’re winning, the crowd’s cheers and smiles can uplift you but when you’re not doing so well, their presence would put a lot of pressure on you. Our true advantage lies in the size of our delegation. If the competition were in Thailand or Vietnam, the Philippines won’t be able to send as much athletes. Here in the Philippines, transportation costs wouldn’t be much of a burden. Thus, we gain more chances of winning. Do you think RP could send 800++ national athletes to another nation?
Finally, it’s been proven time and again that Filipinos do really well in sports. The Philippines is home to some of the world’s sporting legends. I won’t even start naming these people. Let’s give it to our national athletes. They trained hard. They gave their all for the Philippines’ glory despite the lack of funds from the government. They gave it their best shot. It’s just but right for us to acknowledge that effort and inspiring love for our country. They gave us reason to be proud that we are Filipinos. It would be unfair to question the victories they wholeheartedly offered to all of us. The least we can do is show some appreciation for what they’ve done for this country.
Congratulations to our Filipino athletes! You deserve all our praises and thanks!

the day that was
To set the record straight… To everyone who heard what I said in the benches, I don’t hate her. I just don’t like her very much. I just realized that hate is kinda harsh and really doesn’t apply to my opinion of her. And the fact that the heat was unbearable and I was really sleepy and tired didn’t help either.
So ito yun. Sana nga lang walang nagbabasang teacher. We were seriously considering cutting class a while ago. Haaay!!! I said that if Rob or Nico cut, I was going to. I mean asa pa ko. Those two people won’t cut --- ever!!! Then, there were 5 other people who were thinking of whether to do so or not. It was the longest 10 minutes ever. So that I wouldn’t have to think, I relied on the decision of 2 of them. Grabe! Hirap na hirap kami mag-cut parang ang bigat nung feeling. I don’t really know why. But due to God’s intervention through the toss coin, the 3 of us decided to go to class. Surprisingly, the 2 others followed us to class. Sabi nung iba, we should have pero well, sabi nung coin e. Haha. In fairness, when I entered the class and sat down, gumaan yung loob ko. Kasi sobrang kinakabahan na ko sa labas. I know weird, right?! Mag-cucut lang, parang grabe. Pero promise. May magaling pa mang-guilty diyan. La lng. Just wanted to share.
Then, the two Ramayana plays today. They were both elegant. I wasn’t able to complete either of the two though. I won’t write about them because I feel like dedicating a single entry for all the Ramayana plays. Pero eto lang. Best ending ever yung sa Potassium. Galing ni Jojie. It was the most amazing invitation to the prom I’ve seen sa batch namin. Dramatic and nakakakilig. Let’s see if anyone could beat that. Lahat ng tao sa audience kinikilig and tumitili na e.
So yun lng. Just wanted to share my meeting with the thought of cutting. Nagcut na ako dati pero first subject kaya parang hindi nakak-guilty kasi late na naman ako. Naglib lang ako at nag-aral nung subject na yun e.

last sem break
Saturday am-Sunday am –YFC Metrocon (iBelieve) at Marist in Marikina. Central A3 met at Autocamp. Duh! Forever meeting place. Haha. My sister and I were late but they haven’t left yet so ok lang. When we arrived, we were welcomed by the crayola-smelling gym, the rain and the thick layers of mud in the field. Morning was dedicated to contests. Galing ng Central A. Afternoon naman workshops. Yes. Y Entrep. Resto bar namin. Lol. For the rest of the day, 2 talks, worship, praise fest and Praise Parade. I loved the second talk. The message was really getting through the participants’ minds and hearts. That explains why the one from down there was trying to disturb us. Anyway, CA3 slept in the field. We stayed in the tent. There were 4 of us in one really small tent. There were 2 other tents. The others slept in their chairs. At 4 am, they started making noise so as to wake up everyone. At 5, we started the mass. Tapos another talk and the awarding ceremonies. Oo nga pala. ang sarap ng food. Shakeys! Sobrang ok nung food. :)
Sunday am-pm – With my dad’s whole family, we went to the cemeteries to visit and pray for our beloved departed. Tapos podium kami. Lunch at Banana Leaf and dessert at Cheesecakes, etc. Yum! Yum! Sobrang pig out kami nung day na yan.
Monday am-pm - Facilitator’s training at autocamp. As usual, ang gulo ng mga mock campers. Haay!
Wednesday pm– went to the hospital para magpainject dahil sa allergies. Grabe! Bigat ng gamot kaya nakatulog na ko less than 1 minute from the shot.
Thursday am–Friday nn – CA3 Youth Camp at Glory of the Gardens in Antipolo. As usual, it was lots of fun. I was DGL to Joanna, Lindsay and Chesca. Si Lexi partner ko. It was fun. May sarili kaming houses. Yellow house yung amin. Medyo it was really purong service kasi 2 day camp lang siya kaya less time na tumanga and more time in which we were required to do stuff. :D
Sunday – Nagturo kami ng Catechism ng sister ko and nila kuya david, ate sam, ate thea, ate kams and quiel. Haha. It’s really fun. May ibang klase ring fulfillment pag mga bata yung tinuturuan mo. Ang cute kasi nila.

20 facts
Dahil tinag ako ni ray2 and ni fatima. Sorry kung walang silbi.
1.I currently miss our workshops for Journ.
2.I am a devout Catholic and a very proud member of Youth for Christ.
3.I served twice in Pisay youth camps before I even served in an A3 camp and started attending meetings regularly.
4.I’ve been to E. Rondon twice and both trips to the place yielded rewarding and pretty successful results.
5.Despite the insurmountable amount of work required from us in Eng Journ, I’ve never regretted enrolling in that elective because it has also brought me some of the greatest joys I’ve ever felt in life.
6.I don’t watch movies in the theater much.
7.Most of the time, I start doing my schoolwork at 9:30 in the evening even if the work I have to do requires 6-7 hours of attention. Before that, I pretty much just sit around and do nothing.
8.I can live on 500php for an entire month. Don’t you think this is an amazing feat?
9.It takes me a very long time to decide on what to buy. Be it clothes, shoes, books, ballpen, paper or just food. You’d get tired shopping with me. Sometimes, I look for hours but I end up not buying any of those I’ve been looking at.
10.The Mandaluyong, San Juan, Pasig area or the Ortigas area is my world. Every other point I have to go to from this point is of equal distance to one another. I could go to Makati in the same amount of time it will take me to go to Quezon City or Manila. It would be difficult living anywhere else.
11.Hindi ako magaling magmemorize at mas hindi pa ako mahilig magmemorize.
12.The current status of my academic performance will be it’s lowest status for the rest of my Pisay life. I vow to ensure that the average I obtain during the 2nd quarter would be the lowest it would ever be and that the quarters that are yet to be decided will be much better.
13.I talk to myself occasionally so when I say “wala akong sinabi”. Totoo yun kasi sarili ko lang yung kausap ko noon.
14.I type my blog entries in word before I post them.
15.I have the tendency to doubt other people’s intentions.
16.I miss being a student leader.
17.I can appear to be more hardworking than I actually am.
18.There are only five circumstances wherein I tend to not notice I’m talking too much. (1)At home with my family (2)when talking to Fatima or Ivy (3)when I’m with people who are quieter than me (4)when I’m with yfc-pisay (5)when I’m in the journ room during workshops.
19.Pero ang totoong rason nang pagiging tahimik ko ay dahil sobrang dami kong iniisip. Minsan nga wala nang silbi pero iniisip ko pa rin.
20.I like talking to God.
It took me a very long time kaya hindi na ako magtatag ng specific number na yun. Tag lahat ng tinag ni ray2 and fat at saka lahat ng nasa links ko. :)

random stuff
1. parang sobrang appropriate sa akin ng results ng quiz na to.
You are Psalms.
Which book of the Bible are you?
brought to you by Quizilla
2. i like this song. the feelings it expressed are probably really sad and painful. mas lalo ko nafeel yung emotions ng song when i read the sept 3 multiply journal entry of lexi.
constantly
I knew it was there
Though I tried to hide it
The feeling just kept on shining through
Haven't know you that long
So I try to deny it
But the feeling was much too much too strong
Could this be love
Deep down inside
Tearing me apart
I feel it in my heart
[Chorus:]
Constantly, you're on my mind
Thinking about you all the time
I can't sleep no matter what I do
I just keep on thinking 'bout you
Why do I feel this way
When I know you have someone
That you're seeing each and every day
Should I play this game
Of just being your friend
When I know that's not where I want it to end
How could this be wrong
When the feeling's so strong
Tearing me apart
I feel it in my heart
[Chorus:] [2x]
Constantly, you're on my mind
Thinking about you all the time
I can't sleep no matter what I do
I just keep on thinking 'bout you
No I don't want to start no trouble
Between you and I and your lover
But I must tell you what I'm going through
Everytime you walk by I see love in your eyes
