Teachers' Day, Their Big Day

December 21, 2008

A big celebration for our teachers because of they are the ones who provide us especially SENIORSPEDS education. I'll put on my mind that "education is the key to success". That's why I'm here today, writing blogs am I right?

Because they give us good education, we appreciate them by composing songs, giving thanks and showing them how we love our teachers . Like what we were doing last 5 days.


But this celebration does not end. Thanks to the SENIORSPEDS because they are the ones who show their love and respect to our dearly teachers. Of course, I love SENIORSPEDS. "sinong aangal? ha?!?, shibalu!"

Seniorspeds Do The Move

December 22, 2008

Battle of the Bands
3 Band Groups in our year, they are "Cover Your Ears", "Kaka Roach", my group and the "Medea Band" and other band groups in other year.

The KAKA ROACH band. :D

I thought our band will never made to the top but we've garnered 4th place. Plus, our co-batchmates, the Medea Band garnered 1st place. The Seniorspeds again made it to the top.

Christmas Will Always Be In Our Hearts

December 17, 2008

Our "Alay sa Pasko" Carolling Contest was held in our school at exact 10:30 am (guys, i'm not sure about the time. haha.) but before that, we practiced all our songs plus! the formation that our adviser and my classmates taught us to do plus! our costumes.



Then after that, the competition started and because I'll be the one to play the guitar, I'm so tense starting from head to foot. But one of my co-batchmates wants to have a intermission number after the said competition so I accept it (aba, matibay!).

Then during our presentation, our judges turned up into this:



while us doing:



thanks to our adviser who gave us support before doing our presentation and also to my classmates who participate in this kind of event.

But wait, after the said competition, thanks to my co-batchmates who help me to do this intermission number.

I hope this friendship will never last.

Christmas is Coming, What Should I Do?

What should I do?

The first thing I should do is to finish our caroling this coming December 17, 2008, because this will be our way to our Lord and to our Messiah, Jesus Christ.


Then I will give 4 Christmas cards, one for my parents, my friends, my love ones, and of course I'll never forget, my enemies.

And I'll give my present to a special person who inspires me to do good things, and of course who takes care of me, especially when I have problems, she comforts me and of course she loves me. Guess who guys?


That's my top 3 things that I should do, so make sure guys that you should do anything on or before Christmas Day.

Let's Do The Move Youth!

December 3, 2008

In to the YFC Center in Dammam, but no one was there in the place. Our SFC Leaders came 2 minutes before the time we came to the Center. I've waited for 30 mins until my Co-Youths came. I thought this training camp was just only an ordinary camp but I saw the logo "Big Brother Training Camp", like Pinoy Big Brother they acted the way Big Brother talk. Before that, they gave us 15 rules of BB Training Camp. Then we've started our 1st talk in the boys room where we designed our boxes (the first task that Big Brother told us to do), after that the discussion proper. Then we ate delicious dinner with my Co-Youths. All of us look groggy because others came from school then straight-away to the Center. After that Big Brother allowed us to take a nap so that tomorrow we will start our 2nd talk, then off to bed. KNOCKOUT...

December 4, 2008

"Pinoy ikaw ay pinoy..." i still remember our wake-up call. Proper hygiene and of course eating time. Then we went to the activity area where we finished our 2nd talk, 3rd talk and 4th talk. Then after those talks, THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL "PARTY TIME!!", we dance, we watch them how to dance. haha.
After the party, our whole body get worse but we do bonding with each other, talking for something

December 5, 2008

After 2 days of laughter and conversation with each other, of course we never forget the LORD who gave us power and strength since birth until now.
Our 5th talk, I admit it, I'm still sleepy then because I didn't sleep earlier because of what happen yesterday. After the 5th talk, we praise, we thank, we ask forgiveness, we hear the word of GOD by singing, jumping higher to the Lord and last but not the least, our SFC leaders give us awards that we accept.

Of course we are the Most Creative Group. and the Early Bird.


And there you have it. A wonderful day to us, youth leaders and future leaders in other days.

Senior SPEDS - All About Them

Like my classmates said,

Being "SPED" or should I say SPEDITY + IMMATURITY + ORIGINALITY = SENIORS and that's us. get it?


why i post this one? because,

1.) SPEDS are exclusively for SENIORS, am i right?

2.) all the words that start with "NI" e.g. niluluto, nilalaba - is ours not theirs

3.) I love SENIORS

4.) shib! i don't have nothing to say but please to use this word - SHIB!! because it's mine not yours

5.) try to use:

AB-NORMAL instead of SPEDS because it's yours not ours. sa mga nakabasa nito hindi kayo ung tinutukoy ko, okay? sa mga nasaktan dito sa mga pinagsasasabi ko, sorry. "Nitotopak" na kasi ako eh.

-sm- :D

-lablab- :D

-plurk addicts- :D

-love stuuri - XD

that's all.

Sana Ngayong Pasko - Ariel Rivera

I love this song, even though I’m in bed or in school I always recall the exact tone of the song and the chorus:

Sana ngayong pasko, ay maalala mo pa rin ako
HInahanap-hanap pag-ibig mo
At kahit wala ka na, nangngarap at umaasa pa rin ako
Muling makita ka at makasama ka sa araw ng pasko.

(I wish this Christmas, you will still remember me, I always find your love, even though you aren’t around, I still wish and hope that I’ll see you and be with you on Christmas day.) I translate it in English.

it is all about love and Christmas, my inspiration, (you will find out who she is?) para sa’yo itong kantang ‘to.

Of Being Loved By You

This is I compose for about uhm. 3 weeks but happily I finished this song. I dedicate this song to my inspiration, actually she's here in Saudi Arabia. This is for you.


(I)
I’m in a solitary room, dreaded with tears,
I started to look at the times we’ve met, but you’ve never know how much I feel

(refrain 1)
But now, I throw away my pride, just to see you smile (whooh.)
All our angers excise, our friendships go by, (whooh..)
I’ll take this as a part of my life.

(chorus)
I’ll never forget our precious moments start
You know that I love you from the bottom of my heart
At least I know the feeling, of being loved by you

(II)
As I looked at your eyes, I feel like I’m deeply in love with you.
Even though you’re sad but you know that I’ll still take care of you, (and I’m with you)

(refrain 2)
And now, I’ll throw away my pride, just to be with you now, (whooh.)
All our sadness goes by, our love still entwine (whooh.)
I’ll take this as a part of my life

(repeat chorus)

(bridge)
All the days we’re together.
Our love last forever
I will never forget the times..

(chorus 2)
I’ll never forget our precious moments start
You know that I love you from the bottom of my heart <2x>

At least I know the feeling, of being loved by you.. being loved by you.. being loved by you..

Next Part: UST Entrance Exams (USTET)

November 3, 2008
I woke up at exactly 6:00 am, then instead I do anything quickly, I sat down and I looked at my laptop and search my favourite songs, so weird isn’t it?

After that I dressed up, fixed my things and off the house. Till I came to school, I felt pressured but then my friends talked to me if I am okay. Then I played volleyball to release all my pressured feelings.


5 minutes before the examination starts, I pray to the Lord that this is my only hope in helping my parents from financial problems even though my first choice in USTET and that was Nursing, was very expensive.


At exactly 8:10 am, the examination starts, first, I was disappointed because I didn’t answer some test questions. But I don’t lose hope in that first test, because I finished all other test questions.









I hope I’ll pass the USTET entrance exams and I hope I’ll be with my elder sister because she’s there.

A Week of Tension

n the past 3 months of review classes, I still don't get it. Why it's supposed to be like this?

After school days, I walk straightaway to home and go back to school to find my tutor who teaches me some techniques in Math and Science.

Then at night, I go back home eating "Mr Chips" and "knock out". After 4 hours of sleep, my mom suddenly called me to have dinner.

While eating, mom and I were having a conversation and then she gave me some advices and she said, "mag-aral ka nang mabuti, atsaka alisin mo yung tension mo sa katawan, ano yun magtetest ka tpos matataranta ka doon?".Then I always think about what happen to my brother and sister when they took their exams in UP and UST.


Good for them they passed their exams in UP and UST, poor me.






Those exams increase my blood pressure (meron ba ako nun?) unless if I study more. Now I'm here, sitting in front of the computer doing my blog, after this I'll take a nap and dreaming for nothing except my inspiration.

F.Y.I. = For Your In-formation

After Foundation Day, What's Next?

After foundation day that brought us laughter and enjoyment, the senior students continue their celebration to the place where they drink coffee, at Starbucks. XD



The place where love started because of drinking too much coffee. Others wanted to drink more coffee in order to win their bet. But I know even though they drink coffee or not, still friendship will never end.

wink*

20th Foundation Day

Then here we go a special day for me as well as the senior students who have shown their talents in this event, in our beloved school, IPSA. For 3 days, we strived to finish our wonderful performance but on that special day, we performed well.

Forget about my conclusion because I’ll show you some pictures in celebrating our Foundation Day.

On the first three pictures, me and my comrades (co-officers) we’re doing the fancy officers’ drill, am I right?. “Maayos ang ginawa nating pagperform ng drill sa CAT, hindi ba?”.

On the other picture, my co-drummers and I, did the “rhythms 1, 2, 3 and 4” in some Mindanao dances that all of the High School students performed.

Then here comes the main event, our Singkil Dance, one of the famous dances in Mindanao. Here I’m suffering from headache because of what I’m performing with. Forget about the headache because this wasn’t important.”Sinulat ko pa dito, eh, hindi pala importante”.

I forgot to say this but you know that before we perform in our Singkil Dance, our MAPEH teacher sang the OST of Iisa Pa Lamang. And he said “4^th year, good luck sa performance ninyo”. He was the one who taught us how to perform our Singkil Dance. We’re very thankful for him, he’s the best “Gabby Concepcion” we’ve ever had in IPSA. haha.

And there you have it, a very very very very special day, thanks for reading. :D

Not Just Ordinary Books 1: Don't Take A Bath On Friday

Don't Take a Bath on Friday published by Tahanan Books in 1996, it's not all about taking a bath, but it's all about the superstitions and beliefs, until now, these characteristics are influence by the Filipinos. In the sentence itself, "don't take a bath on friday" is one of the examples of superstitions and beliefs.

How's The Chainy Thingy

Sure without me, I am nothing. That was what my friend said about me. That was the time when I chain 2 birds in the first picture that I show you yesterday.


Notice my first comment in SSC Mini Fair? It says that "well thank you sa'yo, dahil dun, nakapagsorry ako sa kanya".

That was the time when I found out that friends can still be lovers, right?. So the one who leave a comment for me, thank you for viewing my blog especially reading my post. "Alam ko naman na love mo siya hindi ba? haha". So don't loose hope, just relax and find out what will happen next.


Here I conclude that, lovers start as strangers, just kidding. I mean, lovers start as friends then close friends then you know where love starts.

A Day Before Foundation Day

A dry-run before Foundation Day, a good day for me and for them because this said event in the next day was so exciting. I'll show you another set of pictures when I saw them in all my friends' account.




Practice, Practice and Practice!!, that's what we were doing in 3 consecutive days. Oh well, but that was okay, even though we did not eat earlier in lunchtime, we continued practicing our performance in Foundation Day.

wink*

SSC Mini Fair

Here are some pictures of myself and my companion. haha.






I was there holding the walkie talkie and doing my job. But in fairness, look at the first picture, see those couples. And the third one, boredom strikes, I had nothing to do with.

Full of excitement and laughter in this kind of event. Even seniors because this was their last mini fair, how sad. :(



Cut out the baby tears and keep on going.

To Be Continued

For the past one month, I am here again. So stick with me, as I write some of my experiences in life. So, uhm.



To be continued..

2nd Day: Balloon-Powered Mini Car

Oh my, I thought we've never gonna make it till the end. Our car's still in the finals. We've reconfigured our car before we go blow and our car is on-the-go. Our first test in our car was for about 7.5 meters, then our second test was for about 10 meters. Here, we made it to the final round. But suddenly, our balloon pop out so we must replace the balloon again. You will find out tomorrow the results. Oh, the picture I forgot, that is for tomorrow okay?

Science : Balloon-Powered Mini Car

Tomorrow, is our project in making a balloon-powered mini car which is a part from Physics. First, yesterday, I watched some of the videos that was related to our project in order to have ideas in making our car. Second, the car must run for about 5 m. but we've tested our car for about.. 20 trials, so mean isn't it?. Our car run for only 3 1/2 m. Oh well, we reconfigured it again so that our car will run at the given speed. And the third one is.. you will find it tomorrow. I'll show you my car okay?

Here is one of the videos that I almost intend to imitate in making my car.(almost. okay?)

Balloon-Powered Mini Car

YFC Swimming Party

These are my friends in Saudi Arabia. Last August 29, 2008, all of the YFC (Youth For Christ) members had a swimming party. Actually I became lazy in that time because a day before, all 4th year students had a review for the college entrance exam including me, so busy isn't it ? and also my mother scolded me at that time because of what happen last week (ask me if what happen last week). As I said, but I was able to attend on that time. Full of laughter and joy in this party and here I became a joker or a clown because I always give laughter to them. We take pictures one by one, stolen shots and other pose that they wanted to. In these pictures, we act like in the commercial, the "Western Union". A good day that the Lord has done for us because He is the one who unites us into one group. And that is the spirit of YFC.

Eraserheads (Reunion Concert)

I taught Eraserheads will never made to the top, because of what happen to Ely Buendia, the vocalist of the band. Ely Buendia suffered a heart attack last August 31, 2008 during their reunion concert at Bonifacio Global City Open Field, his friends and organizers as well as his bandmates Buddy Zabala, Marcus Adoro and Raimund Marasigan in the said concert rushed him to the Makati Medical Center but today he will gonna be okay. Eraserheads are one of my favorite bands and I idolized Ely because he and his band made many albums.

Here is my favorite song that Eraserheads perform in their reunion concert





I hope you like it.
