I am thankful now that...

I saw my name listed as one of the honor students AGAIN in our year level.

Hooray to me! I'm so happy!

I also thank God for this wonderful blessing, for guiding me, giving me strength and the knowledge to do my best to be part of this achievement.

That's not the only reason why I am so glad today. At  first quarter I made a good start, I was placed as 5th. Not bad. But when 2nd Quarter came, my rank went down, I was then placed 8th. Now, this 3rd quarter of  the school year I can't believe I came up to 4th. It's a miracle!

Well, I've always wanted this. I am so blessed, so, so blessed. I don't know what else to say. I just want to share with you my happiness, my bliss!

I made once more my parents proud! I will continue this until the very END.

So help me, God.

"Seniors, your days are numbered"

Time seems so fast, yet so slow for me, but for others it seems to be the other way around.

We have 50 days to go, not including the days of Saturday and Sunday, and little by little I am able to accomplish what I really wanted before my high school life has ended. Whatever it is, let me keep it with my self first. Soon I will share to you about that matter. But one thing I am sure of … I’M HAPPY!

In that period of time, there are lots of activities lined up before our most awaited event.

Just like tomorrow, there will be a parent- teacher conference. Our adviser will explain to them about the cost of our graduation fee, where and when will we going to have our retreat and how much is the price to pay, etc., etc.

There are more activities in school I want to update you:

January 21- review day for the 3rd final exams
January 24-26- Examination day and the end of the 3rd quarter
January 28- Spelling bee, poem and declamation contest
February 9-10- Booth fare for the foundation day.

(Within the month of February we’ll have less class and more practice for the 19th anniversary of the school, but I don’t know the exact date of our field demonstration)

March- resume of classes, 4th and final exam, retreat, practice for graduation, baccalaureate mass and last but not the least, the GRADUATION DAY!

Can you imagine these to happen in just 50 days?

Perhaps, you should 

The end is near

It's not about the earth that I am talking about, or my life in near death. No. Those are not what the end is all about.

It's about school ...

My high school life is near to end in less than two months (can you imagine that?), and graduation is near! I feel so excited and sad at the same time. There are many reasons why. I know some of you had experienced my feelings before, and some of you who haven't yet will also feel the same as you're on your way to college.

My classmates counted the days in the calendar and said that we only have 55 days to go before leaving our school. I don't know how to react that moment. Like I said, my emotions are mixed up. Our adviser told us too, that by March 25, 2011, we'll be having the ceremony that will happen once in a lifetime, that is-- to graduate in high school!

Now, I don't know what else to do aside from completing my requirements and passing all the academic subjects. I fell like I want to fulfill something in my high school life. I just don't know what it is.

For now, I will do my best to make it on stage and make my parents proud!

God bless us.

5th Placer, not bad at all

It was our REPORT CARD DISTRIBUTION last September 9, 2010. Parents have to go to our school to get our report cards and know the results out of it. They can also view at the bulletin board the list of honor students for that grading. We've finished 1st grading and there will be three more to come.



Mom first visited my brother's room.



I'm hopeless that I will never be included to be listed as one of the honor students because my scores at my previous exams didn't satisfy me. When we were there already I asked my younger sister to view the list of honors for me because I am so nervous I might not be included. She agreed, then walked away to see it.



After a while, she came back frowning. I asked her what happened. She said I didn't make it!



I DIDN'T MAKE IT! that was harsh of her.


Now I'm sweating all over and worried what mom will say to me once she found out, and what my teacher will tell her.



It's about time when mom will visit my room to get my card. I'm not yet saying about this to mom. I just want to see it for herself- or for myself. I agreed easily with what my sister said.



I passed by the bulletin board where the honors are posted. I took another glance to ensure that I'm not included. And God! I was surprised when my name was there! The only student who has the longest name printed there! Phew! I shouldn't agree so easily with my sister. She tricked me! She even started laughing at me when she realized I found out the truth!

I felt a relief. But wait, It's a tie! There's another classmate of mine who was also ranked same as mine. Not bad anyway.



I realized that I can do it better next time, I'll try making it at the top, top1 to be exact.

Like what they say, There is no harm in trying.

P.S. This is what I keep on praying also at night. Thank you, God, for letting me have this achievement.
