DrEaM a dReAm...

I have been celebrating my birthdays in orphanages for a couple of years now and seeing the conditions of the people in each, I have always been praying and hoping, that someday, I could give them more than what I have been giving. Besides food and a feeling of love, I know that they also dream of having new clothes, new school supplies and some other things for entertainment like what we, ordinary children, want. At first I thought that at my very young age of 15, it is still impossible for me to conquer that dream of mine since I, myself, still depends on my parents for my own necessities. Being given the freedom to save some money for other necessities, I know that those still won't be enough to give every single person, in the orphanages, their simple wishes.But then, I guess, I have to be thinking twice now since I already have my colleagues with me who are all ready to support this big dream of mine. For my third week of classes for this school year, I already have made enough plans not only to dream my biggest dream, but also, to make it a reality. A million thanks to the very best friend of mine who gave me much courage and will to face this big challenge...Ria.

Performing has always been our passion and we would both die to be given an opportunity to have some formal trainings about theater, dancing, and anything that goes hand in hand with music and, of course, more of public speaking especially in the world of hosting. From this, the idea of a benefit concert had begun. Since the school's SALIW Dance Troupe,the dance group where we both belong, had accepted my plan for an outreach program, in order to generate a fund for such, I have decided to plan for a dance benefit. But then, considering my III-Nitrogen family, where many live through singing, I have decided to make it a combination of a sing and dance benefit concert. The objective is to air a benefit concert on the months of November, December and, if possible, even on January. I plan to ask the help of the church regarding this since the parish priest of San Roque, Fr. Omer, who has been very close with our family would definitely support such for he, himself, loves to share his blessings. With these comes special guests, of course, who would be gladly to perform without anything in return other than to help our brothers and sisters who are in need (I believe we have enough connections to find some kind hearted stars in this country.). All the proceeds, from the sold tickets and other donations, are to be given to different orphanages during the month of February. If there would still be some money left, it is, then, to be given to the Kapuso Foundation.

Impossible, as what you might say. But then, I believe that nothing is to be termed "impossible" once that it is for the betterment of this country. I know that with the help of God, and of course all of you who are expected to support this program, this dream that I am presently dreaming of would soon be a reality that would give inspiration to each and everyone of you readers...

...Dream big, aim high, believe and you will be able to achieve it no matter how hard it is to imagine.

a DaUGhter'S reTuRn...

At last, after two months of rest, here I am now back in my loving alma mater's arms; but now, as one of the so called "juniors". Wow! It seems like it was only yesterday when I first stepped into the door of Cavite National Science High School as a freshman student, but then, look at me now all grown up and now one of the many "ate" in this school. But despite the situation, still, I could barely imagine how time flies real fast.

My first week as a junior was indeed very different from my past two years of experience here in CNSHS. It's hard to explain how I really feel towards it; so hard that i couldn't even assure myself if I was excited, scared or lazy about it; so hard that I don't even know what to say. Okay, so I had fun alright. I was able to meet my friends again and spend the whole day with them doing everything that we could, both silly and serious. But then, it was really not that happy since most of our former classmates, Nobie and Romella in particular who had been our friends and who had always been with us for the past two years, are no longer a part of our section. We all admit that junior life, without them inside the four corners of the room we are in, would be a bit duller than before. Though we could still be together during breaks and dismissal, still, it's very hard to adjust to a whole new environment wherein two of our known class clowns are gone.

Meeting our new teachers was part of the new week. Well,I could not tell of anything against them since they all treated us perfectly in the first week. They all sure deserve our trust. Some were funny, some were serious while others were new; but surely, they all seemed friendly. Not only was I able to meet and greet our new second parents, but also, I was able to know partly our new classmates, Elaidia and Karren. They both seem nice though I haven't really got a formal talk with them since I was still quite shy with them, and so are they to me I guess.

First week of lessons, of course. We had some reviews of our former lessons in most of our subjects during the first day. The rest of the week was allotted for our Diagnostic Test which, of course, was a "nose bleed". Well, nothing changed I guess. Quizzes? Is that even a question? Of course we had a few and they all turned out great for me. I thank God for that, He was the one who really helped me out and not my seatmate...But of course! What do you expect?!?Duh?

Problems on the first week?...unfortunately, we had one and not to mention that it was a huge one. But then, I suppose that it's quite unethical to mention the real deal here in my blog since it is actually our whole section involved. Let's just close it to being private. Anyways, whatever it is, it will always be resolved. Besides, it was not meant to happen. All I could assure you readers, and probably you all belong to the same alma mater that I am in, is that it was all because of a big misunderstanding. We are all expecting to close everything on the next big week of classes.

Of course, with the first week of classes comes the election. Thanks to all those who trusted me and elected me as the room vice-president, same thing to the SALIW members who elected me as their vice-president for internal. Also, I would like to thank all those English Club members who gave their full trust on me in electing me as the their vice-president too which means, by next year, I am to be sitting as the new president. Thank you to all of you. I really feel flattered knowing that a lot of people do trust me.

As for next week, I do hope for the same luck to continue. I am actually looking forward for tons of homeworks and lack of sleep especially now that I am in the hardest year of my highschool life. I just hope that this first week of mine would lead me straight to great success for this whole school year. But as for now, I'm just thankful that my first week was a real blast.
