Maria Clara

   

Maria Clara is regarded as the most beautiful and widely celebrated lady in the town of San Diego. Maria Clara, being religious, the epitome of virtue, “demure and self-effacing” and endowed with beauty, grace, and charm, was promoted by Rizal as the “ideal image” of a Filipino woman who deserves to be placed on the “pedestal of male honor”.

I admire Maria Clara a lot because she is a well-mannered lady. Although I live in a modern world, like Maria Clara, as a teen, I want to be respected by men. Men nowadays when it comes to courting are too fast. They make use of technologies through communication which sometimes leads to bad things. As a young girl, I want the way how the girls are being courted before because at that time, you will know if you can really trust the guy and if he is really serious with you.

I'm very lucky that I had the chance to talk with Maria Clara. She asked me spend an afternoon with her politely. At first, I didn't know what to do. I was very shocked that she wants to talk to me. We went at their house. Their house was very clean and big. I feel like there is no dust in there. Their home was good enough for a beautiful lady like her. But before going to their house, she asked me to bring a paper and a pen. She also asked me to bring clothes and girl's magazine. At their home, she greeted me well. She prepared a good dish of salad, biscuits and an orange juice for me. While having my paper and pen, she asked me to write my ideal guy. We were having a good time laughing and talking about guys. Even when she is laughing, she is still to pretty and she really has the manners. She was smiling at me all the time and she said that if I admire her, she admires me too. It was because that although the Filipino men already changed,at least I was able to handle my suitors well. She said that it is good that I'm open with my mom regarding about my love life and that I don't let any guy take me as an easy to get. While using the clothes, she asked me to make a new clothes for her. She said that she wants to feel how the modern clothing is. I had no choice even thought that I don't want her to change wearing a Filipiniana, I still let her to wear our modern clothes. She still seemed pretty wearing a pants and a good blouse. She said that my fashion taste are good. I told her that the girls today, some are still trying to be conscious and they show their skins while some, it is alright for them to wear sexy clothing.

After a long talk it was almost six o'clock and I told her that it's time for me to go home. I said goodbye and we had a beso beso before I left their house. She said that hopefully we can talk again next time. It was a very good afternoon for me. I met someone who's well-respected and has good manners. I hope that her traits will never changed. Somehow, I'm hoping that I can also be like her. I wish to be respected and that's it.

Feels Like Hell!

    

    Oh! It's Monday again. I still want to sleep but it's already 6:00 A.M. I know I'm living near the school but I should arrive on time because I know Sir Tom is already waiting for the late comers. That's the first hell in school. Every Monday, we need to arrive at the school before 6:30 A.M. That's too early for me. It feels like hell for me. If you will arrive late, your punishment is that you're absent for the first subject in the morning. You will make a letter saying why you're late and what you should do to change for the better. I admit it. I'm always a late comer. It's because I always sleep late at night. I know it's my fault and that's why I experience that hell.

    The second hell in school for me goes for the boys. Their haircuts! It's a big deal in our school because it's a part of the policy. This thing goes to Sir Tom also. If you're a boy and you will not have your hair cut the way it should be, then you can be scolded or you will squat during the flag retreat.

    The third hell for me would be the need for the parent's signature in every homeworks or projects. It feels like hell because you need a parent's signature and if you don't have, you'll be zero. This thing applies to all teachers who gives homeworks and projects.  This seems to be a big problem for a person who always cram like me. Fortunately, my mom never forgets to sign my homework! That's why I'm lucky.

    I don't like to say that it always feels like hell in school but Monday would be the hell day for me. It's more fun in CavSci , our school that's why it shouldn't feel like hell. :)

LOVE?

An amazing guy with an amazing heart.

 Dear Miguel <3 ,

      

         "To the world you may be just one person, but to one person you may be the world." -Brandi Snyder

           I don't know how to start this letter. I don't know what to say because I'm nervous . I'm sorry because I don't have the guts to tell you some things in personal. First and foremost, I admire you. I know that even we know each other for many years, I still don't know you a lot. I know you well as a friend but not as a close friend. I'm proud to say that I started to admire you a lot when we were in second year. Your dance moves always make my heart melt. I know that you knew the thing that I had a crush with your friend before but as I realized, you were better than him. A lot better seriously. It always makes me laugh to know that the other girls were very obsessed about you and I'm just like "what the?!" I want to confront you and tell you that "Damn. You're just so talented and I'm so crazy about it." For me, you are the best dancer I've ever known. :e  I mean, just look how special you are. You are so loved by God. You have been gifted with an amazing talent and you are smart. I don't know why I admire you a lot. I've never been jealous with you and your girls although I know that they're doing their best just to be close with you. But I don't care! I know that you know how to choose the right girl at the right time. I know that you're not a stone! Yes you're a  gentleman and an amazing guy but girls, NO! Miguel is not easy to get. I don't have anymore to say because while I'm typing this precious words for you, Emman Joy comes into my mind. I know that you're that very close and don't worry I can notice your extreme emotions and feelings for each other. I hope that you'll be happy with the girl you deserve and I thank you for being a good friend to me. I can understand that we'll just stay friends. Only friends. I hope that God will give you all the things  you want for your life. Be happy always just like you are now and don't ever ever change! I like you just the way you are.

I made this song for you. Hope you like it! : (Tune of anna banana)

~Miguel de Boda, I like you a lot

You dance so amazing :e

Don't know why I love

Miguel de Boda baby

I like you a bunch! :)  ~

the chorus of "Oh Darling" of plug in stereo:

~I really want to come out and tell you
Oh darling, I love you so
If you’d ask me for my heart, there’s no way that I’ll say no
Oh darling, just take a chance please 
So we can stay together till hell starts to freeze~

PS: I LOVE YOUR GOOD SENSE OF HUMOR. :) 

xoxo <3 ,

My Teacher, My Hero

   "Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterward. "-Vernon Law 

        I've always imagined myself being nostalgic about the past. Knowing that "Hey! I was just a kid before but now I've grown up really fast." This words was just the same words I utter whenever I remember my school days like "Hey! I was just a nursery before but now I'm a high school student." And as I ponder and think about me before, about myself in the past, I never forget to think about the persons in school who've taught me how to be strong, how to be wise and how to be a good citizen and we always consider them as our second parents who we usually call "TEACHERS."

   What is a teacher? Who is a teacher? What does she do? Teachers teach children to read, write, do math, and much more. They use games, videos, computers, and other tools to teach children different subjects.Teachers show students skills. They also explain information. Teachers plan their lessons before they teach, which can take a lot of time.Teachers try to make their lessons easy to understand. They teach things in different ways so that different students can learn in the way that is easiest for them. Teachers might use a chalkboard, a projector, or a computer. They make posters or worksheets before class starts. Teachers plan the schedule for the day. Most teachers have to teach what the principal tells them.Teachers also assign homework and class projects. They often have students work together to do projects. When students are not doing as well as they should, teachers help them.After class, teachers grade papers and projects. They also create tests. They write students' report cards. And they meet with parents to try to help their children do better in school. Teachers sometimes go to workshops to learn how to teach better. Some teachers also help with sports or other after-school activities.

    Now that I've really know what is a teacher, who is a teacher and what she does, I've come to the point to consider my teachers as heroes.  All of my teachers since nursery up to now are heroes. All of them gave effort, patience and trust to us students. Every little hardwork the teachers do is considered an act of heroism. That's why I love my teachers very much because without them, we are nothing. Without them, I don't know how to write well, speak well and express my feelings well. They taught us a lot of good things so in order to make them happy, let's give them our sincerest gratitude and warmest appreciation of all the good things they gave us that inspires us to have a good life in the future. :)

My teacher, my hero :
 My Grade 3 Teacher: Ma'am Eloisa Esguerra
 My Grade 4 Teacher: Ma'am Richelle Bayot
 My Grade 5 Teacher: Ma'am Elsie Abito
 My Grade 6 Teacher: Ma'am Millet Diquit
 My First Year HS Teacher: Ma'am Belinda Loyola
 My Second Year HS Teacher : Ma'am Elain Malones
 My Third Year HS Teacher: Ma'am Juliet Arceo

To be or not to be?

"To be or not to be" is the opening phrase of a soliloquy in William Shakespeare's play Hamlet.

To be, or not to be, that is the question:

A lot of choices in life,

But which is for better or for worse?

To be, or not to be, that is the question:

To be happy or not be?

But how do I control my emotions?

To be, or not to be, that is the question:

To trust or not to trust?

But how do I know when to trust someone?

To be, or not to be, that is the question:

To be real or to be fake?

But it's hard to fake someone you love.

To be, or not to be, that is the question:

To be the one to love or to be loved?

I'll just be the one to love.

Comedy of Errors: Confusing

       

                                                    

       Last Wednesday, September 5, we started the discussion about the shortest play of William Shakespeare which is the Comedy of Errors. About the discussion of group 1, it was good and exciting at the first part knowing that there were 2 twins in the story. As they tell some facts and the making of the story, I got the feeling to be more eager on knowing the whole story.

       As we go on to the summary of the story, the introduction was good. There were twins with servants that were twins as well. As the summary continues, I got confused on the part where their servants got exchanged. The story became so confusing because of the two twins having their servants as twins like them. My attention became boring on the first part but it changed on the part where Adriana didn't knew that it was her husband's twin brother at her house.

       As a whole, the story of the Comedy of Errors for me is very nice and funny. I loved the ending part so much. Everyone became happy and the problems were solved at the end. For me, the ending part was good one rather than the Romeo and Juliet. The story was a bit funny and there are many lessons to be learned.

Thanks NCAE!

                 


                   NCAE stands for National Career Assessment Examination. It is a type of examination where all third year students of our country should take up to guide them for the course they will  choose when they enter in college. It is necessary for a third year like me because it is just one more year and I will be entering a university or college. Choosing a course is really hard and very confusing, it takes long thinking to arrive on a good decision.  Should I go for it or not? Would this first step of mine would lead me to my success in the future? 

                 August 29 of the year 2012, it was the date of the NCAE. The day before the test, I was excused in class due to my fever. That night when I opened my facebook account, I chatted my classmate and asked her about our assignment then she told me that tomorrow is our NCAE. After some moments when I read her reply to my question, my mind was like "loading....loading...loading...."....REALLY? ARE YOU KIDDING?! I reacted somewhat like scared, happy, sad. It was mixed emotions I felt that night. NCAE is very important for me because this might be the answers to the questions of  those who will always ask me if what course am I going to take up in college.

            On the day of the exam, I was not prepared nor excited. I was just neutral about everything. The students were arranged alphabetically and specific number of student are in a room. Girls were separated from boys and proctors were from different schools. I remembered our National Achievement Test, it was almost the same but different type of examination. We waited for our proctor to arrive. The time to start the test is at 8:00 in the morning.The proctor arrived almost on time. She was beautiful and young but she never told us her name. She explained the rules and regulations then she discussed the parts of the test then she gave us the answer sheets and the booklets containing the questions we will answer. The answer sheet was very clean and she told us that we should take care of it properly. After saying that, my mind said "Oh, take care properly and avoid any bit of mess on it!" Then, we started the test. The first part of the test was about our gadgets, appliances at home and our parent's annual income. When we started the test and when I saw the first part I was happy because I really like the type of questions on the first part. Then, we continued taking up the test. It consists of Math, Science and Language. The last part of the test was the OIISS. That was the most boring part for me. There were 260 items and you will just react for the situation given. I really find it boring for it was too long and some of the situations are just having one idea. But thank God that I have finished the test.

               I'm glad that the DepEd and CHED decided to have this type of examination. I thank God that this type of examination was created.  I'm so excited on the results! May this help and guide me on taking the right part to college life. :)

Sports

         

                                     

         Sport is all forms of competitive physical activity which, through casual or organized participation, aim to use, maintain or improve physical ability and provide entertainment to participants. But how is sports important to us ?

      Sports are very important. Not only to kids, but for adults as well. When you play sports, you meet so many people you probably wouldn't if you didn't play. It has physical,emotional, social and mental benefits. Sports also inculcate valuable qualities in young people. They learn how to cooperate with one another and to subordinate their selfish desires to the interests of the team. They learn to play the game, practicing fair play and showing generosity towards their opponents. In other words, they cultivate the quality of sportsmanship, which consists in playing a game according to its rules and accepting defeat with good temper. They are likely to follow the ideal of sportsman spirit in life also, showing honesty and uprightness in their dealings with others and never using unfair means to attain personal ends. Sports also keep us to be healthy and fit.It offers us a change from the monotony of daily life. It is a useful means of entertainment and physical activity. Sports and games help in character building. It also gives us energy and strength.

        Thus, sports have great value in life. Without sports it will be hard for us to be physically fit and healthy.

English or Tagalog?

      "Ako'y Pilipino... Tagalog ang wika ko."

     

      I am proud to be a Filipino. I am proud of my mother tongue. Even international news keep on informing us that the Philippines is already number 1 in Business Processing Outsourcing or as call center agents because of our English proficiency skills, it doesnt really mean that this is a measure of our love to foreign language.  For me it stands for Filipinos adaptability and versatility to anything that requires advancement.

    Yes, for so many years, it is the effect of colonialism on us since the Spanish era up to the Japanese world war time. And up to now, we keep on studying their language to adapt ourselves in their land for us to find a greener pasture that we can't see in our native country.  But still, our heart belongs to our mother land and still wants to speak our mother tongue.

    Look at other Asian nation, they did not take mastery of English language but they were able to prove success in their economy.  It is good we make ourselves learned and be proficient to foreign language but not to the point of loving it more than our own.  Immigrant kababayans from other country..keep the love of our own mother tounge alive in your children..be proud of our nation..be proud of we are Filipinos..and we speak Tagalog.

Secretly Married~

      Once upon a time, there was a girl named Phoebe who had a tryst with a boy named Ken when they were still young. Because the still don't have enow knowledge of love, their immature minds thought of having a marriage which was just fake and secret.Their concept of having married is just from a movie the kids have watched; whereas, there were kids having a marriage but it is because their parents had an arranged marriage for them. But this two kids doesn't know what they are going to do about is sacred.  They even had an assemblage of their young friends;also, they tried to make a parfait for their fake reception. Their accommodation was just at Phoebe's backyard. Their parents did not what they are doing because they thought that they were just playing.

     As they grew up,they already had forgotten about their secret marriage. One day, Phoebe had a day off from her work as a fashion designer at Herlenmer's Daily Fashion Outfit. Because of ennui, she decided to go at the mall. When she was at the mall, she decided to look for clothe boutiques that would like to buy clothes from their company. After some hour of looking for customers, she decided to have a canape. While she was walking, she bumped a tall man because she was not looking at her way. When she saw the face of the man, a familiar look entered her mind. On the other side, the man just ignored her and continued to walk. "Oh, whoever is that girl.. she did not even say sorry to me!!! Ugh." Ken said. "Oh, whoever is that man... he really looks familiar to me.. Did I already saw him? Mmmmmm." Phoebe said while thinking very deep but continuing to walk.
     The next day, when Phoebe was about to go to her work she decided to use her babushka for her additional fashion wear and her coupe for a perfect car for her outfit that matches her pink babushka. Also, she decided to have a fish braid coiffure to have a really good-looking outfit. Phoebe is very auspicious in her work. In fact, she never wants to make a vacuous design because she wants to prove that she deserves the position at her company. She harangues seriously whenever she joins workshops and seminars. While Phoebe was at her work, she remembered the guy she met yesterday at the mall. She felt a resuscitation at the moment they bumped into each other. Phoebe's phone ringed. "Hello who is this?" she said. "Is this Phoebe Guidotti?" Ken said. "Yes. Who are you and what do you need?" she answered. "This is Ken Montereal. I own the company of Forever 21 and I would like to purchase your designs." he said. "Oh. I see. Let me know when are you available so that we can talk for our negotiation." Phoebe asked politely. "On Friday. 2 PM." he answered. "Okay. Thank you and goodbye." Phoebe said.
Phoebe was so glad that there's someone who admires her design. Her happiness that time was very rambunctious. "Oh! I almost forgot I have a meeting at the same day." Phoebe said. "Hey Lenka! Would you please be my assignee for my meeting on Friday? It's because that I have something to do on that day." Phoebe said to her assistant. "No problem Miss Phoebe." Lenka answered with a smile.
          Friday morning, Phoebe woke up so early. She is very excited to meet Mr. Ken. Also, they have decided to have Starbucks as their rendezvous. Phoebe prepared all her designs that she will show to Mr.Ken. She decided to prepare superfluous of designs because she thinks if she will give only enow designs, only some of them would be accepted. When Phoebe arrived at their meeting place, she was surprise to know that Ken is the one she bumped last time at the mall. They talked for an hour and when Phoebe showed her designs, Ken picked affluent of her designs. Phoebe was very glad. But before Phoebe have left she noticed Ken's necklace which is half of her necklace. Then there she remembered that Ken was the guy whom she had a secret marriage when she was young. And there they were very nostalgic about their story and it  became the good relationship of their friendship.

~THE END~

Once Upon A Time

Scars on her legs, arms, and chest

They only meant that her life was a test

Everything that happened was just a practice

She was just warming up for the sentence.

One question, one answer. That’s all the judge needed

She hoped, dreamed, prayed, and pleaded

“God, put those horrible men behind bars.”

Then she looked in the mirror and thought about those scars

What did they mean and why were they there

Only questioning about herself, weak and scared

No one knows why, not even God

Only those horrible men, they were the cause

She wants a real life, not a test

She doesn’t want to practice being the best

The girls wants a prince to stop these crimes

And restart her story with Once Upon A Time.

I see friends shaking hands.....sayin.. how do you do 

They're really sayin......i love you. 

I hear babies cry...... I watch them grow 

They'll learn much more.....than I'll never know 

And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world 

(instrumental break) 

The colors of a rainbow.....so pretty ..in the sky 

Are there on the faces.....of people ..going by 

I see friends shaking hands.....sayin.. how do you do 

They're really sayin...*spoken*(I ....love....you). 

I hear babies cry...... I watch them grow 

*spoken*(you know their gonna learn 

A whole lot more than I'll never know) 

And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world 

Yes I think to myself .......what a wonderful world.

                               God created a wonderful home for us to live in. He gave us smart minds and useful body for us to take care of our home, Earth. The precious beauty of nature can never be replaced by anything. Our God spent six days to make everything perfectly enough to give us a wonderful world to live in. The world is amazing. His creations were more than perfect. The color of the skies, the beauty of the flowers, the cold wind we feel, the green trees and a lot more perfect creations.

                               We are very fortunate that God gave us life. He gave us a life and a home. He is truly kind. He did not only gave us life and home, He gave us everything we need. He gave us the beauty of nature. He gave us food,water,shelter and everything we need in life. We, people, usually gets our needs in nature. Nature really helps us a lot. Everything in nature is useful for us.

                            Nowadays, we see the nature different from it was before. A big difference has changed. I heard a lot of bad news regarding nature and it makes me feel disappointed. 

                           Today, knowing that the ecological crisis is a certainty. What can human beings do? How can we change the nature back when it was before? It is really hard to think of a way to help nature. It is not easy as 1,2,3 because there is a big change that was not prevented before. It became bigger and bigger. But it can be easy in a way that we start the change in ourselves. Each one of us should take care of nature. Let us start to make a change and heal the world one by one. Let us start it from our own home. Let us think how much God loves us that he gave us everything we need and we should also give the love back to our God by taking care of His creations in this wonderful world.

Be Strong!!!

Smile! :)

                                             

                 

           A tragedy it is. The Romeo and Juliet. But for now, why don't we try making the ending a funny one. After feeling grief the Montague and Capulet had, why don't we make the readers happy at the end. In that case, we'll see all the smiles the readers could have.

              This is how my comic relief starts.Romeo went to the apothecary. The apothecary did not notice that he gave a wrong vial. Romeo not knowing that the vial was not a poisonous one still accepted it. Romeo went to Juliet. He drank the vial but he was curious because he was still alive. Juliet woke up. The time Juliet woke up, Romeo felt something different within his body. He started having a diarrhea. The bad smell occupied the whole place. Even Balthasar outside can smell the very very poisonous air of Romeo. Juliet was very shocked. "My dearest Romeo, why are you like that? What happened to you?" she said. Then Juliet kissed and hugged Romeo despite of the bad smell. Romeo was not able to speak any more nor say any word for he is hurrying to carry out and bring out what he is hiding inside.

            Poor Romeo who had the wrong vial. :))

The Ending of Romeo and Juliet

   

           The ending of "Romeo and Juliet" was not the ending I expected. Though "Romeo and Juliet" is a tragedy, I would rather have another ending. If I was the author, I would want the ending that Romeo and Juliet got back to each other again. My ending would be a happy one. After all the trials they have gone into, I want all of those to be worth it. After Romeo sacrificing for a long time, he will go to Juliet and when Juliet is awake, they'll be together again. Romeo will not go to the apothecary anymore. Romeo will receive the letter from Juliet and he will wait for Juliet to wake up. I want  both of them to be happy again. But, they would still die in the end. Because it is a tragedy. Because Romeo was banished in Verona, when  both of them went out of the church, the Prince thought it is Romeo only. Both of them were killed by the Prince and his company. At the end, the Prince went to jail for killing the daughter of the Capulet. He was sentenced and jailed for a lifetime. When Romeo and Juliet died, the Montague and Capulet became friends at the end, realizing the sacrifices and hard works of their son and daughter.  They realized that Romeo and Juliet had an everlasting love that can never be replaced.

Ohana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind, or forgotten.

I don't care how poor a man is; if he has family, he's rich.  ~Dan Wilcox and Thad Mumford

                Can you imagine the world without a mom or dad? Without a brother or a sister? Without a family, what is your life?

                For the past 14 years of my life, I can never imagine losing someone in our family. Unfortunately, when I was 7 years old , I had a younger sister who died and lived for almost 2 weeks because of her congenital heart disease.  Having a younger sister was always my dream. I want someone whom I can share my secrets, whom I can have a girly talk, whom I can bring with me in the mall, whom I can bring in the salon and whom I can show that I'm her ate and I will protect her. Losing someone is like being  crucified. It is painful.

                 Anyways, today, I have one brother who is John Francis Ipil, a mother who is Rosario Ipil and a father who is Jerry Ipil. The name of my younger sister who died was Jane Andrea Ipil. I remember in my elementary days we always discuss about a family in E.P.P or Character Education. It is always about that the father is the one who should work for the family, the mother will be the one to take care of the children and clean the house. The sons and daughters should do the household chores. Those things were just some true-to-life  things that everyone in a family should do. My teacher would always say that the chores in the house should be equally divided among the children in the house. These are things I cannot forget in my elementary life.

                What is the importance of a family to an individual? Why is a family important? A family is important to  an individual because a family helps an individual in his/her daily life and in building up his/her life and dreams. Nothing more is important than a family. I always keep this thing in my mind that put God first then your family second. It is because, when everybody leaves you alone, when there's no one out there to help you, to guide you, to comfort you and to be with you, there will always be a family waiting at home telling you that they will never leave you no matter what and they love you so much.

                What is an ideal family? For me, everyone has their own ideal family. Me, I want a simple one. Having one son and one daughter. Having a happy one. Having a family that no matter what happens to you, no matter what you do, they will always be at your side, never ever going to leave you and will always say that they will always be your family. :)

My Dad Across the Miles...

My father just took his vacation this summer from his work in Saudi Arabia.  Working as a new generation of heroes as what they call the OFW's.  Its great he was able to spend father's day with us.  This seldom happens because most of the time he went home every August or September. A week before this special day for dads..we go malling and I noticed some ads and greetings related to the occasion...how I wish even its not father's day..I could spend precious moments from my Tatay...may he watch me as I grow as a teenager..be a part of my achievements..and protect me physically..maybe even share whose courting me and get his opinion.  Live and grow just like other Tatay's girl in our place.  But of course everything happen is always a blessing.  He's working abroad and make some sacrifices being away from his family to give us better future.  He is always thinking of us...he make us always his priority in life.

Maybe it's my turn to show my appreciation of what he is doing..of course I know he feels it with my hug and kisses every morning..exchanging jokes..(really there's no boring time with my dad)..with his witty humor.  Im pretty sure even small things or gift from me he could always appreciate.  I plan to give him a father's day card with personalized greetings, with a very touching message, thank you and sorry notes. Thanking him for  all the good things and advices he has given me and spend the occasion in Tagaytay.

Nothing more I could ask from my Tatay. The support he has given us is more than enough to thank him.  I always pray from our dear Lord to guide him especially when he's away from us.

TATAY..happy father's day..you know how much I love you and thankful in everything.  You're not just a hero in our country but the greatest hero of your favorite daughter...I miss you Tatay..always...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7RPCFfudmU

This year..this level of my high school life really makes a difference..from 2  years of being in a Carbon section..I am now yielding the fruit of hardwork in my studies.  Really being in a Nitrogen Section was a very challenging episode of my student years.  Meeting new classmates (to think they all got good brains), new friends, and a new adviser.  And what are my expectations? What would come along the way as I go on this school year?

Of course I am expecting something on a higher level.  I should make another extra effort to be able to cope up with a faster learning environment.  To be able to maintain good grades.  Expectation does not only come from my family and friends but especially for myself.  Commitment, determination and proper prospective, I know I could reach a balance time for everything.

This year would also be a year of showing good leadership..of course they call us Juniors..we stand as next elder sister or brothers of the freshmen and sophomore..more matured and more responsible students of CSNHS.  So we should act and stand as models.

I only have two years left to show my extra talents and capabilities.  I should maximize my capacity to enjoy my student life not only academically but also in some other ways, from talents God has given me for His purpose.

My classroom, my new extended family..I have so much good reasons to look for.  And with the help of my Third Year adviser and teachers..I am looking forward for a better and more challenging years over as preparation to being a Senior.
