New years are best spent at home, with the family you most love. But this new year, I wasn't with them, but they were still with me.
December 30, 2010, I was given the chance to go to manila for the first time, but I had to make a big decision, to spend new year with my family or to go to manila. I choose to go to manila because I thought that I might not get another chance again in a long time, thinking that new year away from home wouldn't be so bad, but I was wrong. Yes, I enjoyed my "manila boy" experience and buying my spike shoes but as the clock struck twelve on December 31, I felt something was missing, I wished I was with my family at that moment, enjoying the new year with them.
A new year away from home is really sad, thats why I just slept when my cousins were enjoying and celebrating. Though I was far away from them during my stay at manila, I always made sure to pray for them and keep them in my heart. New years spent with family are yet still the best.

What Christmas Is About
The celebration, the feasting, the fireworks and the gifts. These things come in our mind when Christmas is upon us. Little do we know that the true meaning of Christmas is lost away from us.
We have to prepare for Christmas, we buy decorations to put in our bomes, gifts for loved ones and food for noche buena. But are these material things really necessary to celebrate Christmas? No. We need not to prepare decorations, gifts nor food, we need to prepare ourselves, we need to repent and regret our sins, to recollect ourselves and for the real meaning of Christmas, to give praise to the birth of our Savior and to simply enjoy the company of our most loved family and friends.
Having a well spent Christmas doesn't mean spending much on decorations, foods and gifts, it's all about friends, family and most of all God.

Magandang Pagsasamahan Tungo sa Maayos at Maunlad na Lipunan
We live in a world of differences. We live amongst people who have different beliefs, cultures, actions and opinions than our own but eventhough we share such great differences, we have to live harmoniously beside each other.
The secret behind living peacefully and harmoniously with each other despite our differences is learning to understand that we are different people that are different in many ways, that we should respect these differences that we share. Having good relationship or having unity with our neighbors results to greater progress. Development in our society will rapidly increase, from community to the other, until the whole world becomes a success, all thanks to having good relationship with each other.
Learning to understand the differences we have create good relationship and unity among us which results to progress therefore leading us to success.

Semestral Break
After all those gruelling hours inside the classroom, after all those sleepless nights spent on making projects and homeworks and after the frustrating two day periodical examination. After one brutal semester, we are finally rewarded, a one week break.
My semesteral break was very well spent, with friends and family, it was really fun. I wake up early in the mornings to take my daily run and at night, we always prayed the rosary. During afternoons, my brother and would go out and play basketball and for the first time in seven years, i won a single game against him. I think it only was a fluke. The best part of my semestral break was going to St. Paul with Jalen to watch their intramurals. I got to see my friends when I was still in elementary. I was surprised when I saw the girl I see everytime I attend mass at ICST. I didn't expect that she was studying there, so i asked my cousin; who was also studying there; what her name is. Her name was Jessa Cachola, beautiful name for a beautiful girl.
Konwing the name of the girl of my dreams, training, being with friends and family, bonding with my brother and sleeping for hours, my sem-break was very enjoyable, truly unforgettable

We can move forward. We can develope, improve from what we filipinos are now, we just need to "filipinnovate", then we will be on our way to success.

My Teacher, My Hero
Their strong and their brave. They use their superpowers to save our lives. We depend on them. We look up to them. They are heroes.
Everyday, teachers perform heroic deeds. Using their mighty chalk, they bestow us with education, with their powerful words, they advice us to lead better lives and with their ultimate touch, they bring the best out of us, they make us heroes in our chosen field. We believe in them in their abilities, we give them the respect they deserve because they are our masters and we are their students, heroes in training.
Even though they lock the fancy superhero outfit, they still qualify as heroes due to their deeds, they truly are the heroes of the modern time, heroes who doesn't only save lives, they are heroes who also make lives.

Sa Pangangalaga sa Wika at Kalikasan, Wagas na Pagmamahal Talagang Kailangan
Kaakibat ng pangangalaga ang pagmamahal upang maging mas mabisa ito. Importante ang pagmamahal tungo sa mas epektibong pangangalaga, lalo na sa ating kalikasan at wika.
Sa pangangalaga ng ating wika, kailangan natin itong mahalin at maipapakita natin ito sa pamamagitan ng paggamit nito. Dapat nating ipagmalaki ang yaman at gandang taglay ng ating wika. Gamitin, tangkilikin at ipagmalaki natin ang ating wika upang mapangalagaan ito. Pagyamanin at ikonserba natin ang kalikasan upang ito ay ating mapanagalagaan. Hindi dapat natin ito sirain upang may magamit pang yaman ang mga susunod ng henerasyon ng sangkatauhan.
Tayo ang inatasan ng Diyos upang pangalagaan ang kalikasan at ang ating sariling wika kung kaya ay dapat natin itong alagaan sa pamamagitan ng pagmamahal sa mga ito.
