August 26 2014,Another rainy morning and the program for the Linggo ng Wika  was happened to be done at Sablayan Astrodome at 7:00  in the morning, I leave at  home and attended the program, despite of heavy rain that caused water to  rise up, I tried to travel and to  be there and participate  with the program.There were students wearing Traditional attire, I thought that the SSG wouldn’t let me in because I was not wearing proper dress for the program, but luckily they allowed me to enter at the venue.I had found my other classmate at the left side of the dome and they were calling my name when I took a look at them, I was really shy because I did not obeyed the announcement that we should wear traditional attire for the event, and  suddenly only few of us did not followed .After the program I felt so hungry but the only money left in my pocket was enough for gasoline for the motorcycle I brought at that moment. When I went out someone called me and it was Michael, standing in front of the dome, I was wondering why he is calling my name when I walked before him. He asked if I want to go with him to take a coffee and bread at the bakery so I didn’t hesitate and I was to grab the opportunity to satisfy my stomach. “God is really good” he knows what I feel and gives what I need.
  

Balagtasan Bowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!

On the last day of all activities and competitions for ‘’Buwan ng Wika’’my two classmates

(Melvin and Omega) asked me if I would like to join with them competing for Balagtasan. Since,that it was the last time that we would be joining that kind of event I hurriedly agreed to them though I was not really sure If I could do it well, because I was really ashamed of what had happened before when I joined the competition for poem recital, that I was suddenly forgot my piece.

            Friday morning, like what I usually do when there is an important event in school, I woke up early and went to the venue, there were only few students there and the classes were not yet started. After an hour the coordinator came and asked the students if who were
the participants for Balagtasan and Talumpati, when the paper for entry was given even though I was not sure if we can do the it perfectly.We
wrote our names there and was happened to be the second performer to compete for that category. The competition began at 8:00 in the morning and there were only tree group was listed on the entries.

Just for the sake of the certificate to be given, because even we lose the battle we still received certificate because there were only three groups to compete. When it  started I wore my costume that I borrowed from my neighbor and next called Melvin and Omega. When we were already at the middle of the competition I kept on laughing and the judges were also laughing everyone was there also laughing because of us. Because of lack of practice we do not know what should we do and we just enjoyed it. After we presented
 the piece Omega told me’’Yun na nga lang ang part mo nakalimutan mo pa, followed by her insulting laugh. When the coordinator called all the participants for the awarding of the certificate every one of us was so happy and felt so proud when we received the second place.

Hahahahaha

Awkward

                                                                             The intramural was again held at Sablayan Astrodome and games were started
after

the parade headed by OMSC admin and SABNACOHIS band. After the parade I decided to go home because I am never a pond of playing ball games and never will be,Since that I was High School I had never experienced joining or competing to games
during that kind of activities and I am not interested to it. I just participate to it for the sake of grades and it didn't entertain me either. I may choose to sit in one side instead of playing ball games or whatever games it is. I really do not know why and what’s in me and how could I describe myself and how could I answer  if someone asked What I know about sport.

                                                                             Instead of wasting my time inside the Astrodome I took the opportunity to go home and went to church. I took a pail and mop and
 removed
 all the curtains to wash. After that, I went to the house of Lola Ofel to tell
 that I already have canvassed the price of the tabernacle that we will be buying for the church .and, I also informed her of what would be the design of the said tabernacle. After our conversation she offered me a drink and bread before I leave.

                                                                             I was happy that there is still a person who supports everything and concern for our church. That’s why even though how busy I am I still serve to our church and acting as an active leader and coordinator,though I was not comfortable and thinking that I don’t really deserve to lead. 

       

ZuLOngggggggggggggggggggggg! Scholars

       Sept 05
 A day before, I received a message from the PGO staff and it was written there that we would be having a meeting at PGO sub office at 2:00 in the afternoon.

I am a person who does not want and really hate to be late,though there were moments that it happens
 that is why as soon as possible I travel from our home to Sablayan.

        When I was in front of the office there was no student yet outside, I decided to go to Computer Laboratory at the school to type the succeeding chapters of our thesis that we haven’t finished typing instead of wasting my time
  waiting for the others to come.

         After that I finished the fifth chapter, I decided to come out because Mary grace was called
me at the corridor.

         When I took a glance outside I was surprised when the line of from the office 
 the was longer than what I expected and we suddenly fell at the very last part of the line, And it took almost 3 hours of waiting before we finally reached the office and get
 papers that we have to be filled up.
After that we attended all the classes that we have that day.

The Price {Hot MAMI from our beloved Mommy}

Last September 06 it is one of the happiest moments that I have this week. It is when my classmates and I played a game inside the classroom.

I never expect that it would happen at that moment.

It was already 6;30 on the clock, but the instructor that we supposed to have that night was not yet around and it seemed there was no chance that he would come.We have remained inside the room until the rain would stop. After a few 
 minutes  my other classmates decided to go home. When I picked my bag and to get something inside of it, I have seen that the Let reviewer was there, when I felt that it was too  early to go home I asked them why don’t we took the opportunity to have a battle review before we go home
 and they all agreed and divided the class into two groups
. Ate Jovy was the one who assigned as scorer, while sandy and I were assigned to read the questions for them to answer.

While the class was playing many of us were laughing if the other group failed to get the correct answer. While Sandy was reading the question followed by the choices, everybody pay careful attention to 
it. The groups scores 
were tied and there was
only one question to know who would be 

the winner, Sandy chose the most difficult question and read it loudly. There were many times sandy repeated the question, and after her I seconded it by making believe the group of Melvin What I was saying is correct.. And supposedly their first answer was correct but they they changed their answer when i said that it's wrong.And at the end the group of 
Sheena and Omega won. The winners will be having a treat from Ate Jovy. And when the time was over,we decided to come out and go home but we took  a bowl of hot Mami first.

I really value the way   how we treat each   other, maybe because it was almost four years that were together facing the challenges in college life. There are stories of love, hates, and inspiration that developed our characters and built us to become a
 better person. Though we eventually left this life aftermath.

The Final Countdown

I can't still believe that today I am now a fourth year student.and only few big  trials  left  next semester.But honestly speaking ,I still trying hard  to improve the abilities that I have,before facing the outside world.Yes! the phrase sounds familiar,Right???
I can't deny that many things  still bother me at this moment and  can't resist to ask myself;Am I ready?Am I able to do what real teachers can do? Am I deserving to become a teacher?Am I good?  Those are just a few questions that I have to find some clear solutions, but despite of those problems, I have to be an optimist  rather than being pessimist one. Even though there are hindrances and  difficult situations lie ahead in this venture, I will forever remains standing and be able to conquer the fear that seems portal that dragging me down.That is just a part of our eternal journey in our life.  Life Goes on.

The Unfamiliar Button

October 02

That
time I have to get the motorcycle at the Tulaong  at my brother's boarding house.I asked Melvin If he could bring us there with Jenevie and Shuzeth,but one motorcycle was not able to accommodate us all.Sandy was going to Supermarket using Mr.Urieta's motorcycle,since that Shuseth didn't want to be left Sandy decided to come with us.
When were finally here  at Tulaong.My brother told me that the motorcycle was not there and someone eventually used it before we arrived.Instead of going back to school,we went o San.Vicente first and take the opportunity to enjoy that time.The darkness is about to covered the highway when we were going back to school.When I asked Sandy to turn the headlights on she never found it.
Many times we stopped to find the button,but we haven't find it,even we asked to someone that we presumed know more about the motorcycle still the button was not able to be found.When we're decided to go at  the gasoline station,we asked the gasoline boy if he could help us to turn the headlight on.When he held the button that we were always holding before,he pushed it too tight We looked each other and laughed to ourselves because the button we're finding is about to kill us if it happened to be a snake.And we suddenly attended Sir Sam's class very late because of that unfamiliar button.

Trust

She Is one of the reasons why I am here at the nearest place of  the fulfillment of my dream.Her generosity and kindness will forever remains in my mind and heart.

I am referring to Ate Susan who owned the SUSAN RTW AND GENERAL MERCHANDISE and my other family .I was working to her store since I was 1st year and I can still remember when the very first time I applied as salesman to her store.
She was sitting inside the cubicle and her face can be figured out and and be shown her character of being serious and and strict .
  .Last month of the second semester, even  though I was not  finished yet and passed  all my requirements,I decided to work because I have to earn money.
        I met Maam Monale at the Supermarket, I asked her If he could let me to pass my Fs book next week after the deadline ,with no hesitation she answered yes,even I know that it was unfair for my other classmates,because she required us all to submit the book as soonest time possible before deadline.Ate Hazel was the one who applied for me because she knew how I need to have a work baldly.She is one of my bestfriend and served as my Ate in school,but she suddenly stopped because of he  personal problems.
I was standing in front of her cubicle beside ate Hazel and starring and waiting for  her favorable response of approval.I felt so very nervous while she was asking me, and I heard before  that no salesman and saleslady stayed there longer.I felt that,and  I was very desperate to find job even the wage is not too high.it seems that there was no chance for me to be hired.When Ate Hazel and Me about to leave and one step before the exit the saleslady called me and said that I could start working there at next day.I was so happy and I promised to myself that she wouldn't regret that She hired me.

          The first day of work is not too easy,I had to be familiar with my co-workers and especially to my boss.I did everything,evrything that I can show to her that I deserved the wage that I was receiving every end of the month.And when her niece came to our store,I heard that she said that I was just"pakitang gilas lang"at the beginning. But I answered her, I am not that kind of person.
Instead of minding what she said I just focused at my job.A month had passed,everything goes in me easily and I mastered everything inside the store,inventory of the stocks,prices of big items and etcetera,
And my boss quietlly amazed and liked my performance.I always went to job early and cleaning inside and outside of the store
. The 2,000 that I supposed  to received as  income a month
became 3,000.Approximately 3 months of working from her,I enrolled for the first semester of the next year of college.June 15 I first entered
the classes and very late.I expect that I was not able to receive cash because of "cash advance"but I still received a total of 2,500. I asked her why?She said because She made my wage to 4,000.

I was  so happy , during my stay from my job I received all positive feedback from her."Gayahin niyo kasi si Clark" always heard that words from her but I stayed humble to  my other co-worker and never brag.
          I was often see her smiling unlike in the passed few weeks she always loose harsh words in her other saleslady because of her anger.She often cracked a joke at me everything changed to positive vibes.And she was also laughing too loud that unusual event that we see from her.
She had never seen me doing unnecessary things during my vacant time and I often eat lunch too late.That is why when she noticed that , she always called me at the kitchen at lunch time to eat with her.after I finished everything at the ground floor, I went upstairs and cleaned her restroom,and bathroom.and mopping the floor at the sala and after I finished those things.She allowed me to sleep and watch television"hayaan mo na sila sa ibaba kung anu ano lang naman ang ginagawa ng mga  yun magpahinga ka na pagod ka na" instead of doing what she said I still keep on cleaning and doing my job.

At this Dept. store I was learned many things not taught in school.
And I have proven how my boss trusted me very much,in the sense that  I always brought her cash deposit at the bank and often texted me if she was not able to go to store,when I was late or absent she kept on texting me and seems that it is really important that I was there at the store .When the time came that a big amount of money loose at the cubicle she never included me and put  under investigation unlike to my other co-workers -they were brought to the police station and was investigated. "Masaya pala talaga pag pinagkakatiwalaan ka ng tao "

Before I leave at the the store she gave me bag and big discount to my shoes and other school supplies ,let to work every Saturday and Sunday, during sem-break or whenever I wanted to work. .It helped me a lot financially and emotionally.

Nothing is left hidden

 September  ayeeeeeteen

It was another classmate's birthday and  the revelation of the secret that I was keeping for long period of time.

             Before we attended the classes,Omega treat us each a bowl of hot MAMI at the place that we used to go and dine if there is an occasion. After that we go back to school , but suddenly the classes were suspended due to the unavailability of the generator. My other classmates wanted to have a celebration for Omega's birthday at the plaza.

When were walking to plaza we chose a place to sit and have a bonding moment with one of our teachers Sir.Mark Anthony S. Bartolome.

Mary Grace,Omega and I Went to Mercury Drug to buy some food to eat and our other classmates were waiting for us at the plaza. Only few of our classmates were not there and the rest were present. Someone suggested us to have a birthday wish for the celebrant ,but I didn't expect that It would be the reason to reveal the secret that I was saying earlier..Jenevie and shuseth whom I trusted this secret, and they know something about it,but they promised not to tell something to Omega..I was not comfortable when Jenevies was wishing for Omega Because there were other parts of her wish referring to me and it seems that she was about to tell the secret.when everybody wanted to know if who is the guy.Mary grace and Melvin who were sitting beside me keep on asking if I know who was the guy that Jenevies referring. I pretended  that I do not know about it and instead I just keep on eating and trying to interrupt them from the topic..Ate Jovy was also at my side at the right and confidently added that she knows who is that guy,she mentioned my name and said that I like Omega since then.  I keep on pretending and stay silent and trying to find excuse from the topic.

When the turn picked me, I said,Since that ate Jovy already told you about this, I confirmed that I like Omega,and my classmates in the circle heard that.I confessed,but I  said that I do not want to give more meaning the friendship that we have.

I just set myself ready for whatever happens after that and accept that we are just forever friends. Supposedly I were waiting a big rose to bloom in our garden and give it to her in her birthday.but, I hesitated,aside from that I was too shy, I won't Omega Avoid me because of that.

I am hoping that one day,we will be having our chance to know more each other.
