English IV

Why do some people derive pleasure from the misfortunes of others?

It is already normal to most people to have pleasure from others’ misfortunes. It is sometimes associated with jealousy which kills the good character of oneself. When a person is jealous or against another person, he’ll be happy to know that the person he hates encounters misfortune. Since he is jealous with that person, he doesn’t care of his feelings instead, he’s more concerned with the misfortune that happened to him.

Why sometimes our blessings seem a disaster for us?

Blessings are really wonderful gifts from heaven. We long for them too much. But once we received blessings, we are so overwhelmed that we took it for granted. We don’t think anymore on how we are going to use it in proper ways and most of all, we don’t anymore thank the One who is the reason behind those blessings. We must use them properly and share it to others so we won’t be guilty if bad things happen. For instance, a woman won a hundred thousands from a contest. Since she’s suffering from poverty for a very long time, she was so overwhelmed to have the hundred thousands that she used the money for her own needs which are really unnecessary or shouldn’t be prioritized like dresses, make-ups, branded bags and the like. Without knowing, the money was gone in just a snap. She was so disgusted of what happened and felt so guilty of what she did, hoping that she could rewind the things happened.

How can you say that love is true?

Love is true when the reason is nothing but love. For it to be true, there should be no other reasons existing in a relationship. It should be pure affection to each other. It is a true love when you keep holding on knowing that you can make it through no matter what happens. When the look in your eyes show pure devotion and endless affection to someone, we can also tell that it is a true love. Most of all, love is battle between one’s heart and mind and it is true when they both agree in a decision to love someone.

never been expected. x[

JS Promenade:The Final Dance

March 14, 2008 - a very memorable date.
It was the most-awaited event - JS Promenade.

After I had done my hair and make-up and the dressing, I, together with my family, went to school right after. The multi-purpose hall was well-designed with pink, brown and white curtains. It was a perfect combination! Before we had the processional, I still had camshots with my friends and the most special shot of this night was with my partner.



We had the processional and the speeches. It was then followed by the Class Will and Testament and Batch Prophecy of the Fourth Year. It was nice to listen in the prophecy because many exciting things were mentioned like future couples. And we had the dinner!

Here comes the truth.. We had the Cotillion Waltz and I was so nervous but my partner told me not to with his killer smile. x]] All through our dance, I was really nervous and I can't even smile with my partner as the usual thing I do whenever we're practicing. And I was really disappointed that I wasn't able to give him the boutonniere because it fell in the middle of our dance. I was really sad then but he told me that it's okay. But still, I was not. Haizt x[ ..
We were so happy after the dance because we did it! But I was happier when he told me that he'll dance with me later...

After all the dances, we had the party! We were so happy and noisy.. Since it was my first time to attend a party like this, I give my best to enjoy with my classmates and friends. After the fast songs, slow and sweet songs were played. My partner, Banjo, offered me his hand to dance with him. Of course, I gave my hand. x]] He's my first dance and I was so happy. We danced thrice and he gave me a rose on our last dance. [Bait tlga ni partner!] Don't worry, I will keep that as i promised you. Then I danced with others too.. Thanks guys especially to my partner. Those dances and rose will be worth remembering forever though it's our final dance together. x]

It was already 5 am when I got home. I really can't believe the things that happened and I don't want to believe that this most-awaited night was over. But it isn't a fantasy nor a dream. It's a real thing. But I was really happy, so much! But I was also sad and afraid that the bond that grew between us might be over too and since, he's graduating soon. Wahh! x[[ .. Thank you for the memories, happy moments and the 'remembrance' partner! The promise, don't forget! I will miss you forever. x]

the grand reherasal.

After all the Saturday practices, we then had the grand rehearsal.
I was happy yet sad because this will be the last practice. I will surely miss the laughs, the happy moments with partner and others, and the bonding which is still growing and expected to end after the JS. x[ I will miss you forever.

In the dance practice..
Tomorrow will be the JS already but still, there were still many changes in our dance. We're so sick of those many changes but when Ma'am May said that our dance was the most appreciated, we became alive. Energy! Energy! [as Kuya Louis said. x]]
Until lunch, we haven't perfect the dance and our dance can't fit the song so we did many changes. so tiring but so worth it! .and at last, we did it. We yelled, we clapped! XD

In the afternoon, we were in our formal dresses and suits. This is it - the grand rehearsal, the final and the last practice. x[[
We did it! ..a big clap for all the members of Cotillion Waltz. .

And now, we're ready to have the JS. Uhm, not really 'coz this chapter of being a junior will already end after that night and I don't want that to happen but it's needed. wahuhu x[

it's the start..

It was Saturday.
It's the first rehearsal for JS.

I wasn't so excited that day and I thought it would be too boring.
But when we started sorting ourselves according to our dances, my spirit became alive. I was liking it. Yes. Especially when I was chosen to be one of the officers standing in front of the line and when I was chosen to dance in Cotillion Waltz.

The nicest part of all was the pairing.
I was paired with Banjo. I admit I don't know him by name. I just see him around the school, of course. At first, I was shy but then, we started calling each other "partner."

From then on, I didn't find it boring to have that rehearsal. It was so exciting, instead! It was so nice to be with 'partner' 'coz he's so friendly and nice as well as the other fourth year boys near us.

We started practicing the dance. I found it hard at first but my partner was a big help to me. He's teaching me the steps. Yeah, he knows how to dance.. Galing niya! and he's so gentle and kind. x] So I felt so comfortable with him though it's the first time we danced and talked with each other. He's really fine and fun to be with.

Practicing is a very hard task but so worth it because I met new friend with Kuya Banjo. Thanks po. x]

for you

for my yushiro..

why can't you get it..
end n b tlga 'to?

waahhh! x[

-hikaru..

*umeechos lng.
haixt. x[

My Own Achievement

It was my first time to run for a position in SSG, to stand in front of all the students of our school, to deliver a speech in front of them, and to dance in front of them. It was all my first time - to expose myself to all the students.


The day before the Meeting De Avance, I was so nervous. I didn't know if I could deliver my speech properly and if I can answer the questions of my fellow students but I have to be ready of what will happen on the next day.


February 26 - the day of the Meeting De Avance and the election day.
Of course, I am just an ordinary student and it's normal to be nervous. We are already called to go on the stage. In that moment, I knew the feeling. It's like I'm burning because all the attention and eyes of the students were all with me, with us. As time passed by, I already felt comfortable but when it was already my turn to deliver my speech, I was again so nervous but I did my best to put all the things I was saying in my mind and heart. Well, I think it was a job well done for me.


In the afternoon, we had the election.
By 2 pm, the results were posted. I wasn't expecting to win but I really want to because it's already my chance to show what can I do in this organization and in this school. But then, I can't get everything I want. Yes, I was disappointed but I am happy for my opponent-my friend that she was the one chosen by more students. But I wasn't that sad because the difference is so close and I really appreciate it that many students believe me with my capabilities and I am really thankful to them.


I was quiet for a moment but I realized that maybe I am more deserving to serve other fields in school. It's God's plan. I believe in Him.


Then, I really appreciate what my best friend,Kisses, did to me. She hugged me and asked, "Okay ka lang?" I said yes. In my mind, because she's here for me.
She's the only one who comforted me in our room. Well, I am not mad with those who didn't. We're still friends. X]


Dismissal:
As usual, I was with Zab. Uhm, well. Thanks Zab to the things regarding the voting thing you told me which made me smile. Haha! Then outside the school, a fourth year student was by my side and she told me that she voted for me. Of course, I was happy to hear that from an "Ate" and I took it as a compliment. Thank you po! Then Kuya [my big bro in school] approached me and asked if I won then he said, "Sayang, binoto pa naman kita." Suddenly, Ma'am May passed by us and she approached me saying, "Okay lang yun!" Again, I was happy to hear that from a very respected teacher of our school, even more! Thank you po. X]


With all these things, I became happy though I lost this fight. I realized that there are people in our school who believed in me and I really appreciate it. Thanks to all who voted for me. Though I wasn't able to get the secretarial position, I will hold on with my promises since I am still a part of SSG.


This experience was really a great one. Yes, I lost but I realized many things which are so worth it. With this event, I gained confidence, I had more faith in myself and I learned so many things.


You guys are all part of this thing which I can call "my own achievement."
