Just Like a FATHER

We feel brave and proud,

Katipunan's what he found

A father just found.

Thanks to YOU . . =)

          HAPPY TEACHER's DAY !!!!

          It was one great celebration on that day. The Supreme Student Government of Cavite National Science High School prepared a simple yet full of happiness program for the teachers. There were songs prepared by selected students in each year level for the teachers. The students gave an all-out performance for the people who stood as their second parents. Through their songs, teachers were able to feel they were special and they were also able to view the talents of their students.

          This day is for them. For our second parents. For the people who stayed beside us in times we need them. One great time to take the opportunity to thank all of them for the sacrifices they made for their students. WE LOVE YOU TEACHERS, WE THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING. :) There were also games prepared for the teachers. I am sure it was one day for them to treasure.

          We thank you our beloved teachers for guiding us at all times and for the patience you're giving us in times you see no reason to calm, in times your world seems not to have peace, in times the world seems so noisy for you, we thank you teachers for everything. . . WE LOVE YOU ALL . . :)

We'll Fly. . .

NCAE :)

          The Junior students got ready for the National Career Assessment Examination. We reviewed a lor for the exam. We had reviews everyday. The National Career Assessment Exam. This exam will help us choose which path to choose in the future. Through this exam, we'll know on what subject we excel.

September 30, 2011

          The Junior students got inside the classrooms they were assigned to stay. I belong to the students who'll take the exam in the morning. I stayed in the Three-carbon room for I was assigned to take the exam there. Joanna, Jana, Twinkle and some of my other classmates were also there. The exam started and the attendance was being checked by our proctor. She seemed so serious but I got shocked when she told me I was beautiful. Oh my, I can't believed she said that. Anyway, that was just a little sort of sharing.  :)

          Exam started. We made sure we'll take the exam seriously. This exam will help us reach the goals we tend to achieve. We made sure we'll apply  everything our teachers taught us in the review. This exam is so special. A stepping stone in the dream we can reach and soar in the future. . .

         Lookig forward to the future, we'll reach everything as long as we strive and study hard to reach the peak of success. . . :)

Arran Eert :]

Pterocarpus Indicus. .
         

          If I would be a tree, I'd be the Pterocarpus Indicus or the National Tree, the Narra tree. . I chose to be the Narra tree because like it, I am strong. I don't give up easily on problems and challenges I am encountering. Like the Narra tree, I don't fall even on the strongest attack of storms, and I won't.  It aso helps people, it serves as wood for furnitures. I can say that I can be one too. As a Narra, I can be made a chair for my friends. I will always be there in times they feel so tired and needed some place to rest and relax. I will always be there.

         

          I can also say that as the Narra tree, I can help people in my own little ways by sharing whatever little I have in this world. A bark for their needs, food for their hunger, and a shelter for their loss. As Mavi, I can say that I will always be here for my friends and my family, to be their crying shoulder and the  person whom they can always run to. . I will always be strong for them..

          On the other side, I am not only srtong but like the Narra's leaves that can produce honey, I can also be a sweet little girl at some times. To have not only a strong heart in times of despair, but also  a patient heart that listens to anybody's heartache. .

          The Narra tree is very useful and I know, that I too, can serve people just like what the Narra tree does.

:)

WE ARE THE JUNIORS!!!

INTRAMURALS!!!!

                 Wooooh! I'm so happy! We had a two-day intramurals. It was so successful. I was so happy because in my freshman year, the intramurals we had was just like practices. We had it on three Fridays and every afternoon. In my Sophomore year, one day. AND NOW, in my Junior year, WE HAD IT TWO DAYS!!!! Yeah! I really am so happy! :))

                  I'm not just happy because of the two-day intramurals but also because of the activities we had. I joined the tug of war, and I loved watching the other games. I was also chosen to be the Ms. Pysique candidate. I really didn't know what to do. As a matter of fact, I had to get excused a day before the intramurals' yesterday to buy something to wear on the competition. A lot of thanks to Joanna for accompanying me in buying the sportswear. I really got tensed on the day itself. Because I REALLY AM NOT GOOD IN CATWALK, my teachers told me I was more sort of a  boy than Mhyllie, our Mr. Physique candidate.

                 The intrams was so successful. I cheered a lot for the RED FERRARI. We all did great. The Red Ferrari won the trophy for the basketball. So great! We had a tie with the Yellow Lamborghini in the overall rank. It was awesome. We sort of had a team bond with the Yellow Lamborghini. We cheered for them and they cheered for us. Nice =)) While the Blue Porsche had their bond with the Green Chevrolet. It was alright. The Blue Porsche became the overall champion and the Green Chevrolet ranked 4th. I was the 1st runner up for the Ms. Physique and Mhyllie was declared Mr. Physique. =]

                  The Intramurals was truly one memory I won't forget. . . =)

SONNET 116

Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come:
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,

I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

A. Recalling

1. Things that love is not according to Sonnet 116.

• Love is not love which alters when it alteration finds or bends with the remover to remove.
• Love's not Time's fool.
• Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks.

   2.  Things that love is according to Sonnet 116.

• Love is an ever-fixed mark that looks on tempests and is never shaken.
• It is the star to every wandering bark, whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken. 

B. Interpreting

        Love is forever. It stays the same. Even if it takes to pass through the hardest trials, heaviest burdens and strongest storms, love never changes. It remains to be true and unconditional. Honest and pure. Endless. 

C. Extending

        The speaker's interpretation of love for me is worth believing. Sonnet's message of what love is, is truly one thing a person knows true.

I Got Swag ;))

Ma'am May and I had a litlle conversation about the workshop with Ate Ria nd Kuya Kokii . .

Ma'am: Hey Mavi, how was your workshop with Ria?
Mavi: It was good ma'am! So good!
Ma'am: What did you work on? Ria told me you just had a workshop on Swag.
Mavi: Yes ma'am. That was right. We have just practiced the song "Got Your Back"
Ma'am: Really? That's good. Now you can continue working on those figures so that it won't take you long familiarizing yourself with it. You better practice it with the other members and help each other on executing.
Mavi: Yes ma'am we will.

After the Swag workshop. . .

Mavi: Hi ma'am! What can you say about the dance?
Ma'am: It was good. I have been watching all of you a while ago.
Mavi: Thanks. :)
Ma'am: After that, you will be having a workshop of Krump with Kokii.
Mavi: Oh! I have been watching a lot of krumpings in the television but I haven't experienced being taught by someone in person. I am very excited!
Ma'am: Well, I think most of you feel the same way. You better get ready.

After the Krump workshop. . .

Ma'am: Good job guys.
Mavi: Thanks ma'am. Can I ask you a few things?
Ma'am: Sure.
Mavi: How long have you been dancing?
Ma'am: Well, I have been dancing for almost all my life. It's one thing I can't remove from my system.
Mavi: I know right! :) that's the reason why you have given al lot of time to your passion.
Ma'am: Right! Hey, it's past four now, we better pack up and go home.
Mavi: Yes ma'am. I think so.

Mavi: Take care too Ma'am! Bye!

"My Mother: My Modern Day Hero"

She suffered for nine months, conceived me in her womb

Took care of us for years, even if she'll succumb

You're the best one for me, you served as a big tree

Bearing lots of fruits, mother you're the best I see

You protected us from harm, you served as our shield

Even on problems, you stayed like an open field

Mother, for me you're like a bright star in my night

You're my hero; you're the only one in my sight

You spent your time with us, your love for us don't last

You are our savior; to respect you is a must

Mom, you are everything for me, I love you

These days and nights will never be bright without you . .

MUSiC . .

        
               "I am finding out, that maybe I was wrong. .
                     That I've fallen down, and I can't do this ALONE. . 
                           Stay with me, this is what I need. . Please. .
                                Sing us a song, and we'll sing it back to you. .
                                     We could sing our own. . but what would it be withou you??? 
                                          I am nothing now, and it's been SO LONG. .
                                              Since I've heard the sound, the sound of my ONLY HOPE. .
                                                     This time, I will be listening. ."

         Okay, I just got a few lines from my favorite song. My Heart, by Paramore. :) Everytime I listen to different songs, I feel so relaxed. Especially when these are songs that CUT. I mean, songs that you know have a great meaning. Songs that you can relate to :)) I like listening to pop songs, but EMO, acoustic, and rock are truly the ones I love. Some people might say these songs are really ugly because they're just NOISE. But not all rock songs are noise, when you try to listen to it, feel its melody, understand its lyrics, and feel its message or its meaning, that's the time you'll realize they not just mere bands singing a song. Instead you'll think they're just a group of simple people  sharing a common interest trying to express their emotions through their songs. And whenever I listen to these songs, I feel them. The message they're trying to tell. . .whenever I feel so down, and I have nobody to talk to, all I do is grab my mp3 player and listen to the songs in it. .

                     "Do you ever feel like BREAKING DOWN??

                          Do you ever feel out of place??

                             Like somehow you just don't belong, and no one understands you. .

                                 Do you ever wanna run away?
                                    Do you lock yourself in your room
                                        With the radio on turned up so loud
                                             That no one hears you're screaming?

                          No, you don't know what it's like
                                 When nothing feels all right
                                         You don't know what it's like. . To be like ME . .

     To be hurt, to feel lost, to be left out in the dark
          To be kicked when you're down, to feel like you've been pushed around                                   
               To be on the edge of breaking down, and no one's there to save you
                     No, you don't know what it's like, WELCOME TO MY LIFE"

Yeah. . Simple Plan really rocks. I listen to this song, "Welcome to My Life" by Simple Plan whenever I get so down, and I can't cry myself out. I express my feelings through music. By singing these songs, I feel very much relieved, it's like I somebody already comforted me, even if in reality, I know nobody really does. :'(  Nah, so much for my dramas, :) just ignore me =D

I can't imagine myself living in this world without music. I mean, it really plays a VERY BIG part in my life. I really can't live without it. I really can't live without it. I REALLY CAN'T.  I wonder how will I be if there's no music around me. How will I be able to sing my heart out? How can I dance if there really is no music? It's very important.

Whenever there are times I feel blue because there are these people who really are important to me disagree about several things I love doing, I just listen to this. .

                   "Hey Dad look at me, think back and talk to me
       Did I grow up according to plan?
Do you think I’m wasting my time, doing things I wanna do?
But it HURTS when you disapprove all along

And now I try hard to make it
I just want to make you proud
I’m never gonna be good enough for you
I can’t pretend that I’m alright
And you can’t change me


‘Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I’m sorry, I can’t be Perfect
Now it’s just too late, and we can’t go back
I'M SORRY. . I CAN'T BE PERFECT. ."

Yeah right. Now see how music really make me feel better. It's very nice God gave us the ability to sing and to recognize music. I'm so thankful because I'm so blessed with His gifts, including music. Music is not just music itself, it just like DEALING with LIFE's RHYTHMS, SINGING with YOUR CHOSEN MELODY, and DANCING with the SPECIAL EFFECTS ADDED ON IT.

Life is short, we better discover it with the accompaniment of the sound our hearts produce. A MELODY OF GREAT MEANING COMING OUT, AND A MUSIC WITH A SPECIAL RHYTHM WHICH WE'LL KEEP ON SINGING. .

:))

OH CLASSES ! OH CLASSES

           Classes starting from September to May????

           Well, it would be a nice idea. A part of me says why not try it?? But a greater part of me begs it not to be pursued. Who among us would like going to school in the middle of summer, wearing that long-sleeved uniform and have classes on a typical hot summer day?? But looking at the other side, it doesn't and it won't matter, because what matters most is the learnings we'll acquire.

            But on the other side again, who would like having their vacation on June and July??? Having swimming on rainy days? Outings and picnics when storms attack us? Isn't it weird??

Can't help myself but disagree about this proposal, although a small part of me says why not.

            It's up to the government to decide, whatever their decision is, I'll learn to accept it. =]

            I only hope the best for every student like me, what matters is that we're all okay and we're all benefiting from whatever the decision will be ^-^

ASTRONOMY DAY . .

           Weeeee! We are all  excited about the astronomy day. It was Friday when it was held in our school. Our teahers said that in this event, we could get the chance to experience the feeling being inside the "Space Dome", and have star gazing.

           Our class, the Three Fluorine had the chance to experience to watch reports about astronomy and its developments, in the afternoon. We were a bit disappointed because we're not supposed to have classes starting from 9 am, but it was alright because we still had the chance to experience several things. While inside the exhibit, we were shown different pieces of rocks or meteorites the astronomers got. We were all amazed about those pieces.

            While the astronomer was discussing, we all the students inside the exhibit noticed that it's starting to rain. We're all worried the star gazing might be postponed because of the rain, which is why we unintentionally acted like kids showing how worried we are about the rain. As expected, we are not going to have the star gazing because of the pouring rain. It did not stop. After the exhibit, the next thing we are supposed to have is the Space Dome. But after we all got soaking wet because of running under the hard, pouring rain from the Physics laboratory to the gym, we got more disappointed because we saw the astronomers fixing the dome. It was like they were to fix it, because the event is done, which means we're not going to have the chance to experience the Space Dome.

             Our teachers told us not to go home yet to experience the ask an astronomer, which is why we didn't. We had the dinner in the canteen. I ate with my friends, Erika and Joanna. After a while, we went back to our classrooms. Waiting for some unusual thing to happen, other students said that we are to enter the space dome. Being very excited, I called Erika and Joanna, and went to the gym. Inside the space dome, we were all amazed of how beautiful the universe is. It was one unforgettable experience. A BIG thanks to the students who helped clean the gymnasium and remove the water that got in.

               ASTRONOMY DAY is one event that will always stay here, in my memory =)

This is WHAT and WHO I want TO BE . .

           We may be thinking of what really is our purpose in life, our real importance, our life, and WHO WE REALLY ARE . .  I sometimes wonder why am I like this. . Why am I not that good, why am I not perfect, and why is it so hard to please other people even I try the very best I can. .

            That's the time I realized I wanted to be someone who does things correctly, someone who has that ability to correct her mistakes for just one time, someone who's sensitive about other's feelings, and someone who could be anybody's FRIEND . . I realized, I can't be one superhero that saves other's but I can be one little girl who tries to help her fellow by being there by their sides and trying to comfort them in times of despair. I just wanted to be my FRIENDS' crying shoulder and comforter. I may not be perfect, but all I wanted to do is to be there in times of trouble, pain, despair and even in times of celebration not only to my friends but also to my family.
                 I also wanted to be a good daughter to my parents and a good sister to my brother. I know I'm such a failure which is why I can't please them easily. Oftentimes, I FAIL THEM. . I'm trying my best to do everything I can, to please them and to seve them.
                 I know in this life of ours, we don't need a lot of things to get by, a lot of money to waste and a lot of time to consume to be the person we've always wanted. All we need is a little amount of believe in ourselves, a little amount of love and a little amount of IMPORTANCE and APPRECIATION from others.
             I'm thankful of what characteristics God has given me. Now, it's up to me to do the things I am supposed to, to be THAT PERSON I'VE ALWAYS WANTED. .

THIS IS ME :))

Mary Ivane D. Pinpin , THAT's ME!
I am just a simple girl. Others say I'm boyish but that's alright. Because that's ME :)
I'm interested in a lot of things. But there is one thing I really love to do.

IT iS DANCiNG . . .

Dancing for me, is already part of my life. I'd love to learn more and more each day. Even for the rest of my life :) . I may not be a hiphop but it is hiphop dances that I like.

I also idolize artists like Billy Crawford and Neyo for they were really very good performers. :)

I am also interested in singing. I love those rock music by some foreign bands like ALL TIME LOW, PARAMORE, SIMPLE PLAN, and MAYDAY PARADE. I also love OPM rock music and Filipino bands like PAROKYA NI EDGAR, SILENT SANCTUARY, and CALLALILY , I really love Callalily's vocalist: KEAN CIPRIANO.

He's a very good singer. I would love to see him in person one day.

I have a lot of other interests like sports: badminton, volleyball, basketball, and running. Indoor and outdoor activities which would be very much challenging and entertaining, just like camps and trainings. 

Mentioning my other interests might cost a lot of pages for just one blog . .nah, just kidding.

XD

I have lots more to share but this would be enow. Til' next time :)

-this is Mavi, now signing off . . . =]

MY ROLE IN BUILDING A "SOLID FAMILY"

Everybody would love to have a solid family . .just like me. .
I'd love to have a family that really stays together, a family that has members who are really open to each other, a family that faces life's challenges with each other and a family that stands out for each other in bitter and sweet moments of life. It would be very nice if a child does his own way to help his family stay together, to keep them united and intact at all times.
As a child, I also have to stand and do something for my family, to keep us holding each other's hand at all times. I will always follow my parents. I know I disobey my parents at times but I will always do something to correct my mistakes. I'll always keep in mind that they are the most important people for me. My family.
Whenever there are problems, I'll see to it that I won't leave them for they always got my back no matter what. My parents are always far from me. My mom's always at work, my dad is abroad, and now, my brother is far. My mom stays in Manila during weekdays, my dad is abroad, working as a seaman, and my brother is now in Dasma boarding so he'll be near to his school, while me, I'm at home with my aunt. We might be far from each other BUT, I won't let that be the cause of our family having awkward feelings for each other whenever we're together. We are always connected, through text messages and through the net. That is why we are still intact. I never allow myself forgetting special occasions like my mom and dad's anniversary, their birthdays and my brother's birthday. I make sure I always greet them.
In simple ways, I can always do something to help make our family a SOLID ONE. . ^-^
I see to it that my brother and i always have time to talk about our own jokes, my mother and I can talk about out hobbies, and that my father and I could always spend time playing whenever he arrives home from abroad.
I'LL MAKE SURE I WON'T BE THE CAUSE OF PROBLEMS, INSTEAD THE REASON WHY OUR FAMILY STAYS TOGETHER. . . =)

ENJOY AMA ! =))

ama!! That's how I call my father .
It might sound funny for others to hear a daughter calling her dad "ama", but it's alright because I got used to it. Since my brother and I were kids, we were used to call our father AMA. . .

I am currently speaking here to share my happy moments with him. . and to greet him a HAPPY FATHER'S DAY . .
I know he won't be able to read this because he's to busy working abrod, every Father's Day, we would love to spend it with him but we can't.. how sad. . =(
MY FATHER AND I WERE BESTFRIENDS . .we even play boxing XD
he usually cracks jokes , he even says "Galingan mo at ilalaban kita kay Julaton ha!"  I reply nothing but laugh. When my father cracks jokes, I know, where I got some of my attitudes .XD he is very jolly. He dances at home and sing, he even copies my mother's  reactions whenever she gets mad, he makes faces. But he does those things just to make us laugh , and it works =)
I remember one time, my father asked me "TOMBOY KA BA?" =O . Shocked, I told him I'm not. He laughed and said, "Bakit ganyan? Mas lalaki ka pa sa kuya mo eh." then we both laughed.

I really enjoy the company of my father, even if sometimes we fight due to some conditions he wants for us. But after all, we'll be fine and again, just laugh with our own jokes.

HAPPY FATHER's DAY AMA ! I hope you are happy on where you are now. Enjoy, take care andd God bless you ^-^

First Day of SCHOOL . . .

June 06, 2011 . .

It was the first day of school, I thought it would be the worst day for me. But I was wrong. I really enjoyed the first day of classes though I got a bit stressed . . ^-^
I enjoyed it because I saw some of my classmates who I really missed, for I haven't seen them the whole vacation, and we had fun talking to each other after a long time. 
I really don't want to go to school that day. . . but I was wondering why I woke up early and get ready to attend classes. Kinda weird but I can't deny there's still a part of me that really wants to enjoy going to school everyday. =)

We didn't do much thing that day. All we did was talk about the subject requirements and talk with the teachers.
I got a bit stressed because of my classmates who were too noisy .. they were actually noisier than me . . nah, I just ignored them. That day was really full of fun. A good way to start the whole school year. XD
I hope this would be a great start for me and everybody . . .

... ^-^
