The Futuristic World
I see life for the next twenty years very different from now. May be much will be different. May be the only thing that would stay the same would be me. My hair, my attitude and my way of life would still be the same. And that’s what I think would happen in the future.
Someday we would live in this futuristic world. Unlike our present situation it would be a world without pollution. No garbage here, less CO2 there and less smoke here. It would be perfect paradise for us. I dream of this to come true. And who knows scientist now would figure it out how to make this come true. In my heart, i know that would happen because the youth hopes for a better environment for their children to grow and to enjoy their life with. A beautiful place for them to play with their friends and family. I want to build a home with them. Where there is love and understanding. I would take care of them. And I’ll give my whole body and soul to give them a comfortable life. That’s the reason why I want to be a doctor someday. Not only it is a high paying job but it’s also my passion. The one thing I’ve dreamed of ever since I was a toddler. To cure and prevent diseases would be my achievements. The will to help the sick is in my blood. And I know I can’t deny that.
May be my road to this dream would be rough. But I won’t give up. I’ll do my best today and in everyday of my life to have this futuristic life. And I promise that I WILL SUCCEED!!

The Ignition to Change is ME!
"If we are to make progress, it has to start in ourselves."
But maybe a week ago, I didn't know this. Someone actually taught me this. You see one afternoon our classroom was so dirty that it looked like a garbage disposal area. Our adviser was so mad at us, she started saying painful things. But it later occurred to me that those things were just the ugly TRUTH. What was shameful was that I'm part of the student council. We even had this campaign about the cleanliness and environmental awareness. Still, I'm the student studying in a classroom full of garbage. And I even dared to ask myself why students keep on littering! Then, it shocked through me. It was right in my face all along. If I want to see CHANGE, I have TO BE THE CHANGE!
Yes. It's true, we have to be the change we want to see in this world. It all starts with ourselves. We have to be the one to ignite that chain reaction. We can't tell someone to be a better person, if we ourselves isn't evolving into something even better. Just like respect. People won't respect you if you don't respect them. It's a mutual understanding.! It's really a give and take relationship. The key is to be a good role model. If someone actually sees you doing something good and moral, they would eventually be inspired to do the same. They would feel that they do belong by doing something good and moral. so that makes you the role model- THE IGNITION TO CHANGE!

THIRD QUARTER IN TLE IV
Oh, God! I just realized that I only have at least two months before I graduate in this school. Yes, another period has ended. I just can't believe it! It was just like yesterday, when I first entered the school and now, I'll be graduating soon. But before I'll go emotional about that. I just want to reminisce the things I've learned during our third quarter.
Of course in our filipino I have learned another chapter from the El Filibusterismo and some foreign novels and short stories. I also have learned things about the web page during our TLE class. I had fun working with my groupmate Jhoanna. Anyway I've learned a lot from my teachers this grading period. Especially in Physics, imagine reading a book from it's cover to cover! Yes, it was literally from cover to cover! It was so stressful but it was all worthy. To be able to represent our school in the regional level was an honor for me so I don't really mind those sleepless nights of studying. It was all for the glory of our school.
Reviewing for the contest also gave me some difficulties in my other subjects. I've missed a lot of activities but thankfully our teachers were very considerate to us. It was still hard especially during the periodical test.
Well anyway I won't let these difficulties pull me down. I know there's always another day for me to start new and fresh. Another day for me to compose myself and face the challenges life would bring.

IT'S ALL ABOUT GIVING
December 25, marks the happiest day of Filipinos. People spend lots of money just to prepare for that one special day- CHRISTMAS. But do we really know what Christmas is all about or do we celebrate just to eat delicious foods?
December of 2004, Christmas eve a terrible disaster shock the 7,107 islands of the Philippines. A storm hit the province of Aurora and left thousands homeless and hundreds dead. Water from the mountains came crashing in the lowland areas with overwhelming speed. Cut trees from illegal logging crushed everything on it's path- houses, cars or posts, it was all smashed. The storm didn't have mercy, the whole province was devastated.
The news about the calamity spread like a wildfire. Everyone knew about it. and everyone was sorry for those victims. Pity filled the hearts of every Filipino. The urge to help the victims run over my mind. No one cared if it was Christmas because everyone was focused on helping them. People everywhere offered their help- if it's financial or emotional. Donation accounts were opened, donations boxes were distributed and volunteers for the packing of goods were overwhelming. Poor or rich, everyone gave their help as much as they can. No one did it just to raise their popularity rate, it was all for the welfare of the victims.
During this time, unity held the Filipino people to overcome such dilemna. There was just cooperation and peace. It was all for love. It was more of a Christmas rather than celebrating it with delicious foods.
Now as I looked back to that terrible calamity of 2004 I've learned that it was in the unexpected, we the Filipinos realized the true meaning of Christmas.

STOP COMPLAINING!
"Complaining does not work as a strategy. We all have finite time and energy. Any time spend within is unlikely to help us achieve our goals. And it won't make us happier." A dying patient of pancreatic cancer once said.
Last month, I was just this whiny cat, always complaining on something. If my mother would tell me to do chores, I would get irritated and complain why I have to do those jobs. It's just that I hate chores, I never did loved it. However, I did it anyway, it's one of our household RULES.
I complain a lot at our house. But when it comes to school, I USUALLY don't. There was this day when our teacher "lectured" us, that we should stay on class and cut off the extracurricular activities. When the teacher was saying this, there was just one thing on my mind "IT'S NOT FAIR." It run on my head over and over again. I mean, it's always a toss between academics and extracurricular activities. Why can't it just be both? But it's just so hard to balance everything. you see if I just concentrate on one thing, I would lose the other and that would end up badly. everything should always be in state of equilibrium. But how? How am I supposed to figure this one out? Would the answer just fall out of the sky? I figured ofcourse NOT!
After reading a book titled "The Last Lecture." I finally found the answer. If I keep on com plaining about things instead of giving my time to resolved these dilemmas, I wouldn't suceed on anything. So if I give the effort i put into complaining and apply it to actually solving the problem, then things would turn out fine.

OCTOBER....
October, October, October......The calendar marks the month of October. It just means that our second grading period is over. After two months of hardwork, it's FINALLY over.
It was really hard adjusting during our second quarter because of the new lessons and especially to our hectic schedules. I was about to melt down when we were making our investigatory project. It was really stressful because of the papers and documents we had to fill up. Other documents were even downloaded from the net. And then the most stressful part was to photocopy all of the documents. Not only it was a pain in the head but also a pain in the wallet! But anyway the whole grading period was fun.Especially our activities in TLE. It was kind of fun to just type tags in the notepad and learn the different functions of the tags.
This grading period, I did not only learn about tags or physics or thermochemistry but I've learned to VALUE MY TIME. Each minute-seconds passes and each hour-minutes passes. The hard thing is you can never bring it back. Another grading period is done, graduation day is fast approaching. I'm so excited but at the same time sad.

A friend, a mother, a father and a superhero.
We, Filipinos value education as much as we value our lives. So, it’s no surprise to see our parents working so hard, day and night just to send us a decent school. If possible our parents want us to give the best school, the education and the best teachers.
Today, even with the most sophisticated technology or book, it’s still hard to learn a lesson by yourself. We still need someone who will teach us and guide us in our learning process. No one is capable of understanding a whole new topic without someone guiding him. That’s ridiculous! Do you know why? One reason is that, the moment when we were born, we were already guided by someone-our first teachers, our parents. They thought us how to talk, walk and basically be who we are. Imagine a toddler without a parent in a dining table, would you expect that child would magically know how to use the spoon and fork by just staring at it. Of course not!
After our learning in our home, we jump to another stage of our life and that’s school. Here, it’s all different. At home we learn about values and virtues but at school we learn the “WHY”, the “HOW”, the “WHAT”, the “WHO” and the “WHEN”. Almost everything is gained here. Just like home we have our teachers. Yes sometimes we don’t like them because they’re up-tight and control freaks and most of the time we take advantage of them. And it’s so wrong to do these things to them. They don’t deserve this because they are the ones who shape us. The experiences at school and the wisdom they share, gives us a hint on who we will be someday.
One thing I adore about teachers is that they treat us just like their own child. They care for you and most of all they love you. They’re just like family. I sometimes find it so hard to figure out how our teachers do all the things they do. I mean they teach us, do the grading sheet and sometimes have to listen to our problems. How do they do all these things? May be, it’ in their human nature to be these multi-tasked people. Thinking about it they’re just like a hero. Just call them and they will be there. To comfort you, understand you and give you a love so tender it will blow you away.
I may not now how our teachers do their job so well but one thing’s for sure. For about ten months we stay with them. And with those ten months we gain not just knowledge but a friend, a mother, a father and a superhero as well.
