WORKING ABROAD 

                  Working out of country is one of the best opportunity for other Filipino that wants great income. Other leave their families just to work for their future but others take their family with them. There are lot of bad news about OFWs like wars in other countries, drugs and victims of cruel bosses. If they work here, their income is lower than other who worked in other country. But those who worked in other country will have greater income but their destiny is unknown. Our country is not that successful and maybe that's the reason why they risk their lives in other country. But working there has effects on them and their family. There are lot of broken families because of long distance relationship. So If I were ask what is better: they work here or abroad, I don't know what to say.

Meet up!

          Meeting with a great person is a great pleasure for all of us.  Especially if that person is the person you adore. There are lot of things that you want to ask him but you can't because their up above and your below. If I were given a chance to meet a great person or at least a famous person, it will be late President Ferdinand Marcos. It's not because I adore him or whatever. It's because I have lot of questions about his time. I want to ask him why did he done such things. I read about Martial law and the effect of it in the people of the Philippines lot of years ago. I will tell him that there were lot of people died because of what he did. 

Improving ME

               It's already been 29 months since I start studying in Cavite National Science High School. I learned lot about things that I'm interested. I also experience thing that help me to shape my life and who I am now. I met lot of friends that help me in any task that I found hard. Many things change since I study here.

              Every time people heard about "Science High School", they always think that the students there are smart and work hard for their future. But it is different from what they know. They also think that the School is the best in the field of teaching. But does this school really help the students to improved their mental capacity and skill? For me, I can say that this institution really help me. I improved in some subjects and find what I really want. I also see my classmates improved since we were Grade Seven. This school help me in shaping my personality and improved my skills. I also improved in subjects that I found hard. The most important part for me is that academics are not the only things that I learned, I also learned about things like facing the problems in my own and finding the true friends for me. 

                  Schools really affect who you are because it affects great part of our life. Schools also teaches us not only academics but also about life: dealing problems, finding the right way, choosing your peers and be happy even though you have lot of things to do.

Nine Type of Sinners in our School

              For three years that I study in Cavite National Science High School, I admit that I already break a lot of rules and became one the student with bad attitude. This is about the type of sinners in the school and their punishment according to my imagination: 

Sinners 1: The Neutrals

      They are the sinners that didn't care about anything. They are the type of students that just go with the flow. They don't stand for good or bad because they just care about their own life. Their punishment will be: they will stock in a room where they will remember all of the things and opportunities that they miss for being neutrals. It's more of mental torture for me.

Sinner 2: The Laters

       They are the sinners that always comes late in every occasions. They always like this for no reason. Their punishment is : they will be chained up and they won't be able to move having delay in taking actions against their punishment. 

Sinner 3: The Self Carriers

          They are the type of students that thinks they are the best among the rest. They always say that they are good in these things even though they're not. They also make other student to think that they are better than them. Their punishment is: they will carry heavy stones that represents their bad trait.

Sinner 4: The Pretenders

           They are alike to self carriers but completely different. They always pretend to be the opposite. They make their classmates to think that they are the opposite of what they really are. They did it to gain attention of their classmates and become the teacher's pet. Their punishment is: they will be tied up-side-down that shows their opposite situation. 

Sinner 5: The Haters

            They are the sinners that back-stabs their classmates. They always see the bad part of their classmates than their own. They also ruin the reputation of a certain student because they don't have anything to do in their life. Their punishment is: their mouths will be sewed and they will be chained facing a mirror so that they will only see their own personalities.

Sinner 6: The Law-breakers

              They are the students that didn't obey school policies and go in they're own law. They always make the teachers angry because of their deeds. Their punishment is: they will be locked in a frozen room naked so that they will feel coldness. 

Sinner 7: The Lazies

               They are the students that didn't pass their projects in time. Sometimes, they didn't pass their  projects because they are too lazy. They don't cooperate in group activities and daily discussion. Their punishment is: they will be eternally walking and do lot of tasks even though their body burst of sweat. 

Sinner 8: The Cheaters

               They are the students that will do everything just to pass their grades. They always cheat in exams and copy assignments in their classmates. They also change their low grades just to pass it. Their punishment is: they will be locked in a room and their eyes will be sewed, they will also chained.

Sinner 9: The Bullies 

                They are the students who hurts their classmates physically and mentally. They always do this just to have fun with others. They don't have anything to do in their life so they just ruin the life of others. They also affect the life of others because their host lowers their self steam. Their punishment is: they will received hits from nowhere making them moan in pain.

FALLEN 44

                Last January 25, we know that something terrible happen. It was something that no one expected. Forty-four of our elite police died because of their encounter to the mix group of BIFF and MILF. The main reason of the SAF police in going to Mamasapano is arresting Marwan. As far as I know, There were more than 44   SAF police there but the other police step out during the encounter. The 44 left behind and didn't give up. I salute them because they didn't surrender their place even though there were lot of BIFF and MILF surrounding them. They also didn't think about what they might leave behind like their families, friends and obligations. As for now, they just have memories for us that we won't forget. Their families and even us wants justice for them and stop the war between the reels and our government. As what they always say,"Once a soldier, always a soldier."

Pope Francis

                Jorge Mario Bergoglio or Pope Francis is born on December 17, 1936 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. On March 13, 2013, at the age of 76, Jorge Bergoglio was named the 266th pope of the Roman Catholic Church—becoming the first citizen from the Americas. Last month, January 15, 2015, he went to Philippines to visit  those who suffer from Yolanda. He stayed in the Philippines for five days. He held masses in different places and gave useful quotes that touched our hearts. 
                   I watched his mass and the times that he ride the papal mobile. At  first, I thought that a special person like him will not dare to go near to the people because something  might happen. But he showed us that he trust us. I learned something every time  I watch his mass. I'm happy, even though I didn't see him, because  he gave strength to the people who suffer from the typhoon. I also learned that family is important in understanding and spreading God's love. I also learned that women have unique abilities. I wish that there will be a lot of young people that will feel the love of God through Pope Francis.

Romeo and Juliet

       Romeo and Juliet is one of the famous tragic novels of William Shakespeare. It is about two lovers that belong to two families with long standing hatred with each other. They faced many problems because of the feud. They both died trying to escape these problems.

          If I were given a chance to change the ending, it will going to be like this:

              The marriage of Juliet and Paris was continued. They           lived happy with their two children- a boy and a girl. After several years, Paris died with unknown disease leaving his daughter and son in the hands of Juliet. While Romeo find his true love after coming back from Mantua. It is Rosaline who fall in love again to Romeo. They got a child- a boy- named after Mercutio for him to still remember his kindness and courage.

ANTI-BULLYING CAMPAIGN 

HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 2

          Five years after Dragons and the Vikings leave together, Dragons and Vikings work together as companions and even used to participate dragon racing every year. Hiccup, the son of the chieftain Stoick the Vast, went training with his dragon Toothless and discovered a place unintentionally. Having come of age, Hiccup was quite depressed because of his father pressing him to become the new chieftain. Together with his dragon and his lady, Astrid, they investigated the wild fire they saw far away from them. While investigating the wild fire, they met a dragon trapper named Eret who blames them the destruction of their boat.

            As they have a small argument, Eret mentioned his boss name Drago Bludvist. He is the dragon trainer who brutally captures dragon and creates a bunch of Dragon army to rule the world. He once became a Viking. One day, dragons conquered their island and killed his comrades and family. Then he angrily told himself that he will conquer all the dragon one day.

           They quickly went to the Berk and told his father about Drago and his father panicked all of the sudden. Stoick ordered the villagers to evacuate and secure the dragons on the evacuation. Stoick slowly recall the first time he met Drago. As Hiccup heard the story, he didn’t believe that war is not the answer for revenge. He know that he can change Drago’s mind. He flew again with Toothless and Astrid to surrender to Eret and bring them to Drago. However, Stoick and other Dragon riders followed them and get them from Eret. Hiccup escaped from his father and decided himself to find Drago alone. As he fly in the sky, a stranger appeared with Dragons and separate Hiccup and Toothless.

            The stranger is his mother who disappear many years ago and believed to be eaten by dragon when Hiccup is still baby. His mother trained dragons with care in so many years and unexpectedly discovered so many dragon secrets. She and dragons serves the alpha who is the biggest and strongest dragon. The alpha controls the dragons. The alpha is the highest between all dragons. His father along with his friend, Gobber and their dragons, search for him. Stoick saw his wife and hug her. While they were in conversation, they saw that Drago already attacks them with his army and his dragons. Drago also holds Hiccup’s friends and dragons but escaped. Drago brought a Red Alpha dragon to challenge the other alpha and Drago’s Red Alpha won. The dragons obey the Red Alpha even Toothless and accidentally kill Stoick.

            Drago leaved Hiccup and planned to conquer Berk. Hiccup, his mother, his friends and Gobber mourned for Stoick and did their traditional burial. Hiccup came to a solution and trained the baby dragons so that they can go back and defend Berk. As they arrived Berk, his friends destructed the Red Alpha. Hiccup get Toothless and bravely battle the Alpha. The Alpha lose and the dragons acknowledge Toothless as their new Alpha. Because of Hiccup’s bravery, he was acknowledge by the villagers’ new chief. The Berk was rebuild using their dragons and build the statue of Stoick.

FACING CIRCUMSTANCES

                   Life is wonderful. It is full of joy but covered by trials. Everyone wants a simple and peaceful life. But everyone knows that everyone have their challenges to face everyday. Some people said that," Abnormal is the only one without problem in their life." Some people can't take their problems alone so they seek helps of others but some face their problems alone. Some people commit suicide because they cant take it anymore. An average of 1,000,000 people die every year because of suicide. Thus, 1 person die every 40 seconds. 

                       I just want to remind anyone that currently facing their problems, God gave us these problems because he know that we can overcome these. Even a sword can't be that shine and sharp, it needs to set it on fire nor a gem will not that beautiful because it needs some friction to make it shine. Like these things, we need some challenges to make us stronger and better for the future.

 Hope this song will help you:

LEGACY

Legacy is one of the important factors in life. We need to earn it by doing good deeds in others.  We need to earn it by doing good deeds and helping people for you to respect by others. You will also remember by those you help and those who touched their lives because of you.

For me, I want to remember me by being the one that help the people against the unfair system of government. I want to motivate them in speaking what‘s in their mind. I also want everyone to have their rights in education and freedom. I want them to be protected against the hunger and to the poverty. I also want to erase the racism in the history of mankind. Thus, I want to be the person who will be the one that will raise the rights of those who are being abuse by the unfair scale of government. And that's the way I want to be remember by others

MY MOTHER

           I consider her as the greatest hero in my life. She was my life saver fourteen years ago. That was the time when she was giving birth to me. She had a lot of choice that time. First, she can abandon me. Second, she can give me to other unfortunate couples. And the last, she can give me to orphanage like other parents do. But she didn't do any of those.

         She taught me every lesson I need to learn in life. About the difference of educated man and skilled man, faith, forgiveness and importance of friendship. The person I was talking about is my mother. She was born on August 1, 1979 in Camarines Norte. She graduated in Elementary and High School but was not able to attend college. Even though she want able to attend college, she was able to build Sari-sari store and manage tricycle with my father.

          She was supporting us in achieving our goals in life. she was supporting us in activities happening in school.

First Three Stages of High School Life

High School Life is like learning to swim.

At first your scared that something might happen.

A lot of emotions are hiding beneath your soul,

making you weak and panic.

Then realizing that you cant do it.

You need someone to help you.

Friends that can help you,

That can teach you to face your fears.

They will support you whenever your down.

Until you learn to swim in this endless problems.

Two years ago,

I had these feelings that I can't over come.

This is when I'm in seventh grade.

I had no idea what will I do,

nor the path that will take.

Like learning how to swim,

I thought of giving up because

I'm scared that I might drowned myself.

Without noticing

that I do nothing.

But I found friends,

that is willing to support me.

They taught how to swim,

choosing the right path and

facing the fears inside of my soul.

So I succeed my first year,

with my companions that

made me stronger to face and

defeat my fears hiding in me. So I thank 

them from the bottom to the peak of my heart.

A year passed and I am sophomore,

I'm better in swimming the world than 

before. I almost conquer the enemies that 

interrupts me. My fears itself.

So I'm stronger than before.

I had a lot of colleagues than before.

They taught me of the right paddling,

to swim faster and better.

Now I'm braver than yesterday,

and more confidence to express.

Then now,

I just finished sophomore.

Taking the path I chose, 

I learned a very special lesson,

You shall not let your fear overcome you.

1st Week of Being Grade 9 Student

It’s already been two years since I started to study here in Cavite National Science High School. In past two years, I always find hard the part of first week because I don’t have much friend especially when I was in Grade 7. I had mix feelings in that day such as nervous, excitement and joy. And when I was in Grade 8, I find it easier than before because I already have friends and the lessons are not that hard.

Now that I’m Grade 9, I have mix feelings because they said that being third year is the hardest part of high School life. They said that the level of teaching is higher than before and they also said that most of the strict teachers are assigned in third year. In the first day of being Grade 9, I can’t explain my feelings because it’s like nervous, excitement and joy are joined. I don’t know if the teachers are truly strict but I wish that I can easily understand the lessons. The activity that we only did for the whole day is to write our names in a sheet of paper for the teacher to recognize us. In the second day, we have our diagnostic test. For me, the test are hard because some of the topics are discussed but the topic became more complicated because it is higher than before. In the third day the class just started but in the afternoon we continue our diagnostic test. In the fourth day, we have groupings resulting to know each other. But something happened to me in the afternoon. I pee in the CR without sign if it is for boys or for girls, then suddenly Maam Orsal saw me. It is a bit embarrassing because MIt’s already been two years since I started to study here in Cavite National Science High School. In past two years, I always find hard the part of first week because I don’t have much friend especially when I was in Grade 7. I had mix feelings in that day such as nervous, excitement and joy. And when I was in Grade 8, I find it easier than before because I already have friends and the lessons are not that hard.

And the game is over!!!

           

            Last week, August 28, 2013, I and few of my classmates went out for playing Badminton. I think that is one of the good ways for us to know each other. Were laughing because we’re telling joke so that we can disturb each other. I’m not that too good in badminton so I’m always the loser. Though my shoulder ache because an unorganized move, I enjoyed it and that’s my preparation for intramurals. On August 29, 2013 the day of Intramurals, every student seems excited. Again, I and my few classmates went down for badminton. Playing badminton makes us relax. The program has been start. We watched mass dance/demonstrations and every performer was great. I played again badminton with different section and I met new friends. After that, I watched basketball for a while. I felt hungry so I prepared for lunch. After I ate, I waited for my sport to announce. I watched volleyball boys then I watched Dansport. When our sport announced, I proceed to the expected venue of my sport. Anyway my sports are Tug of war, Sack race and Patintero. In tug of war, we beat Grade 7 but 4^th year beat us easily.  This sport caused my hands to ache. My hands turn to red due to friction of the rope. In my second sport, Sack race, I got injured. Some medics helped me. Because of that, I got a replacement because I can’t jump comfortably. In the second day, my last sport began early. That is the Patintero. Our classmates wanted us to be the champion but Grade 7 defeat us. Our classmates disappointed on us but were happy for them. They showed that heights don’t matter. These are my experience that I cannot forgot. 

K-12 Program

K-12 program is one of the successful project of our government. Being a student that was chosen to be the first batch of this project, I found some topics and subjects difficult because some of this wasn't discussed when I was elementary. I also find difficulty in raising my grades because of the topics that wasn't discussed well. In the other hand, this project is the best way in improving our minds and different skill to be prepare in higher levels and in our future.

The three Best-friends

                           It is the first day of High school. A girl was seated in the front of the classroom. Her name  is Chloe. She don't have any friend so she was always lonely. One day, her seatmate poke her and said,"Hello! My name is Steffe. And you?". The girl answered,"My name is Chloe."They talk with each other and they knew that they have a lot of similarities. A day passed, Steffe is absent because she was sick. Chloe  became lonely again because the boy in her right didn't close to her. The ballpen of Chloe fell and the boy got it for her. The boy introduced himself by saying,"Hi, is this yours? Oh, my name is Chad, may I know your name?"Chloe told her name too and they start sharing stories before the period last. They became friends until Steffe recovered in her absents. Chloe introduced Chad to Steffe. They became friends until of now.
