The week has been long again. I even thought that today is Monday!! Hahaha! It has been a long week but very interesting. We had a talk with Major Detablan yesterday. She is the Regional Chief of the Children and Women's Desk. I'm not exactly sure if this is correct. She was so fun and straight to the point. She has handled various cases regarding abuses of women and children. To tell you, there were even more women abused everyday. She couldn't even count it. After hearing the talk, I became more aware of my rights and do the necessary actions when there's problem. There is even a Republic Act stating that it is a form of abuse to damage the pet and plant of a partner. Cool right?We also had a talk regarding ethics and media with our principal today. It shows hoe powerful media could be. Answer? IT IS VERY POWERFUL...
This week did not only cover talks, we also had our tests. I really wonder why I constantly get low scores though I have been studying. "How come??", is the question posted in my mind for a few weeks already. I really could not understand what's happening to me right now. I came to formulate this conclusion that maybe I have a different understanding of the lesson. If that's the case, i would not any more waste time and do the necessary thing. ASK. That would be the solution. But not the perfect.
Weekend will still be busy for me again. I was chosen to be a participant for the Journalism Workshop. Please pray for me....
How come would be answered later..... Let's just get ready for the showdown!

Fully Booked
Hello! It has been a long time since I had my last post....
I felt that my weekend has been so long. The sad part is I had missed several assignments because of my schedule. Last Saturday was my cousin's wedding. It was different becuase he has been with his wife for almost 4 years already and waas blessed with two super adorable boys. They only had a civil wedding at first and decided to have this church just now. But a few days before the wedding took place, his wife was already returning my cousin to his family. Sad right? of course, I do not know the reason behind that. Well let's stop there about their personal lives.
I was not only a visitor at the wedding but I gave my share as a bride's maid. The gown that I wore was the most wonderful so far. The ambiance at the reception was also very welcoming, making it more beautiful. By the way, the reception was in Katamnan in Duamgas. the couple was from Barotac.
Sunday was another long day. It was the only time I have to rest at the same time to do my assignments which was many. My plan for the day was that at 2:00 I'll sart doing my assignments to finish it by 5:00 then I could take the rest of the day. It ended up to be, 8:00 to 9:30. Excluding those reading assignments. As a student, I already arranged my time to make the most out of it. Well that night I also watched a movie with my sister.

Celebrate with us on our festivity
Open House?
This term was new to me before. Open House has a lot of meaning. The only thing I knew about this is that it is one way of us to celebrate the centennial year.... don't we have a lot of activities for the centennial? Of course, it's just once. I would not anymore live during the 200th year celebration
It started yesterday up to now. It didn't go to my mind that it will be so fun. Many of the places were opened because of this activity. The Gallery which all of us are dieing to see was one. It was awesome. It made me see those things that has evolve in the school through time. In our Garden of Three Loves before, it was full of coconut trees. The grounds before were so wide. Unlike now, there's so much difference. I even went up to the dorm. It was actually one of the classrooms before of the high school students during the 80's and 90's. There was even a college department before. Very fascinating.....
It was already close to 5:00, almost all of the facilities are already closing. My sister arrived and I asked her if she would like and her friends to go in and see the school, knowing that the gallery and other facilities were opened. But the I was wrong so we just peep inside some of the rooms. Isn't it funny?
I hope that there will be more to come....

Taize: A once in a lifetime chance
Another activity given to us by the school is the Taize.... a prayer and vigil
It actually originated in France. I could say that we are very lucky enough to be part of this event. When I first heard of it, I thought immediately about having fun with my friends alone. As I entered the venue, I went to my group and decided to sit with them. We had these name tags of which has specific color and symbol. We didn't what it was for at first. Well we were grouped according to our symbols at the lower right corner of our name tags. I had the sun......
How I really wish I could be with my own set of friends...... back to reality, we could not. So when we were grouped, I was clueless of whom to go to. Then somebody just poked me and it was my friend. Then another called my name to sit with her. And so I did.
First we had this Taize vespers. After that we had our dinner by groups. Then we had two speakers on which we have to listen to very well because there will be a sharing afterwards. Luckily I was not the only one not paying attention. Even the higher levels were not listening. Then the time came that we all have to share. But nothing went through my mind. There was even a facilitator with us in our small grouping. Thank God that I was not the only one not having any answers, I was even better than I thought.
Here then comes the main event, the Taize proper which was already close to midnight. My sister had her own Taize experience and she described it as solemn and fun. To be honest I found it boring at first but when we got to the Taize proper, what she said was true. I lasted until 12:30 in the morning I think. My favorite part of the Taize was when various schools, including ours performed. It woke me up until the next speaker arrived.
The sun was already making its way up again. It was already close 5 a.m. and there was no sign o me getting sleepy. To end the Taize, We had our mass. It was not likely to be the same as the ones we have usually, this time it was fast. The very freaky part about this mass is that there was this student who collapsed. The worst thing is that there was no electricity which made it even more difficult. She was immediately brought to the clinic.
Whew! That was, again, A very stressful moment but also very fun. I had lots of fun with my friends and even met some new faces....
Well that makes Taize for me a real deal.....

The celebration just started
Today Assumption-Iloilo is celebrating its 100th year!
The muaral painting I was talking about few days ago was already done. It was very creative and the concept is pretty much new. It was one of the activities given to us for the centennial celebration. We had our mass at the Jaro Cathedral 2:00 this afternoon. It was a little bit new to me that I paid attention during the mass. As a teenager, with friends, your mind usually go to trips especially when it's boring. At that time, I was thinking that 100 years celebration is just once in a lifetime so I better give the best that I have. From singing to all my attention. But I really didn't fulfill it all. If I was to rate it, it would be 9. So near....
It has been a few days since I haven't post. Last Monday we had our general rehersal at the Jaro Cathedral. It was not all fun and everything, I was actually pressured..... to give my best. It was funny cause we were asked to transfer seats like for five times. Well we ended up sitting at the floor.
Tommorow is another day to look up to. We are going to have our Taize. It is involves praying and singing until the morning. Fun right? We're also going to stay at the school. The morning after that is my Lola's burial. So after the Taize, we are going to go immediately there.
Another fun weekend.....swear!

My Awsome Saturday
I am seriously tired right now......
But it was all worth it. Though I arrived home at about 10:00 p.m. it didn't stop me to go to school and help my classmates. When I arrived there, I was clueless of what to do. First that I did was I went with my classmate to get some paint brush from her house(which is very near). one of the most unforgettable thing that me and my friend did was when we dug the trash bin to find containers. Hahaha!
I was not only fascinated on how fast the artists do their work and how they did it but also by the team work. While we were working, the sky turned grayish and water started to fall. We became quite frustrated and started to find something to cover our work. We didn't have anything except our umbrellas. It didn't only benefit the mural but also the artists.
Today was another first time. I rode the jeepney all by myself going to the mall. That was not actually the original plan. Me and my friend actually plan to go together but she decided to part ways with me. I was even strengthened a bit more because I was with a teacher going to the place where I'm going to ride the jeepney. It was a very enriching experience.
Today was an awesomely fun and stressful day.....

New Perspective
Perspective. In my own words, I can say that it is how you see things whether it's good or bad.
For me , this week is a complex one. Many things happened to me this week. Both good and bad. Thursday was the best one. We helped the school prepare for the centennial celebration by cleaning the shells(yes, the shells) at the cupboard. It was really fun to clean those shells especially with your classmates. We were also allowed to take pictures during that time. Well of course, I enjoyed that. On that day too, we started to paint a portion of the wall at the school's parking lot. I was not actually assigned to be one of the artist but I tried to help my classmates by giving them water together with another friend. I also tried to find a ladder or something that would help them to reach the upper portion of the wall. It was a great experience to offer everything you could.
This Friday, I already bought one of the things I really wanted ever since. It's sort of a jacket but a more classy one. But the sad part of this day is that I had to wait for my sister from 7:30 to 9:30. I was very disappointed and frustrated at that time. I just wasted my time sitting at her friend's car doing nothing. At our own car on the way home, my mouth was zipped. I really didn't want to talk to her. At the same time, I was thinking what was her fault to me. Her friends were the ones who persuaded her to join the dance number. She didn't even lie or do something at my back. I realized that you should be supportive to one another even if that's the last thing you would like to do.
Another great weekend.....

The best thing is....
"We would not have any misunderstandings, if ever, we'll just laugh about it....."
A friend of mine said this to me. She has been my friend since freshmen. We have almost the same likes and dislikes which made me very comfortable with her. I could say that she is the best I ever had. I had some friends before that's only until recess and lunch but she was always with me through almost everything. The best thing about her is that she has a wide understanding. That's why our friendship up to now has a solid foundation.
We were also talking about our group or clique that became smaller instead of growing. At that moment I remembered what my sister told me about college friends being your friends forever. I became worried and started to think of our future. Would we still be the same as we are now? Or even.... would we still be friends by that time? I really could not tell. But one thing is for sure, that I'll do my best to never do something unpleasing to dismay her.

First Friday of July
Hello! It's Friday again....
There really is something very nice or special every Friday. It's my favorite day. It's only now that I realized that I'm surely happy spend a year with my new classmates. At first, I was still locking myself off from my other classmates. Now I freely share my ideas with them. It's a very nice feeling to know that you could just go with anybody in the class. I could safely say that I have no problems with my new class. I didn't have any serious arguments with anybody.... well maybe some very little misunderstanding, but it was all in the past.
Another thing that made this day special (in a way )is that my sister cooked the dinner for us. It was delicious. Thanks to her friend, she now loves to cook. I didn't imagine her ever to cook before, but things have changed right now. From that simple thing, I realized that all the people has the ability to change no mater how others think and would think of you.
I think I'll use that for my insperation next week..... have a fun weekend!
