How can you say that love is true?

There is different kind of love, but the greatest and the most wonderful of them is TRUE LOVE. I often hear that word in usual conversations but if I will be ask to define it, for sure I can’t give a very good and comprehensive definition. When my classmates discussed the topic, most of their answer is trust. I think trust is one of the most important factors between two lovers. They should also know how to value and respect each others decision. Patience!!! Be patient, they should know how to wait for each other. Oftentimes, trials are encountered in a relationship. Maybe it is not the right time for them. They should wait for the right time, because if you are really destined for each other, whatever circumstances happened, you can still surpass them and be with each other again.

I still remember the song entitled “Set You Free”. “If loving you is all that means to me, and being happy is all I hope you’d be, then loving you must mean I really have to set you free”, my most favorite part of the song. The song says that, someone should be willing to sacrifice for his/her love one. Though it is very hard to set someone free, especially if you really loved him, you should still let go. To sacrifice is the hardest thing to do, especially if you have to sacrifice your love.

♥♥♥For me, love is true, if you truly love each other. ♥♥♥

Why sometimes our blessings seem to be a disaster for us?

We always desire something for ourselves and we think that they are the best for us. According to an anonymous author, when we can’t get what we love, we must love what we had. True, we can’t get everything we want and the things we had seems to be not so good for us. We, humans are never contented of what we had. When something wrong happens, we often blame somebody for that disaster, without knowing that those disasters can be a blessing. We just don’t realize and appreciate them, because we always expect good outcomes. Often times, we learned several lessons from our failures and those will truly lead us to success. Great blessings!!!

Remember, everything happens for a reason. God won’t give us trials and disaster which we can’t solve. He always gives us blessings in so many forms, like disasters. When we don’t get what we want, for sure He planned something better for us. Disasters will surely let us learn a lesson and realize something. Thus, they are wonderful blessings.

Why do people derive pleasure from the misfortune of others?

We can’t hide the fact that we often derive pleasure from the misfortune of others. For instances, we, students, often laugh when our classmate says something wrong during recitations. We also laugh and crack jokes when someone slides of the floor and when someone commits a mistake. Maybe it is already our nature. Sometimes, we take it as a joke or anything which is not that serious. For us, it sounds funny, but for others it may truly hurt their feelings.

Envy, discontentment and resentment or desire for another’s advantages; when we want something which belong to others, we do everything just to get it. But when we really can’t get it, we find contentment when we see them having a serious mistake. Anger, a strong feeling of displeasure and belligerence; I think it is also one of the reason why we laugh while others are crying. Sometimes, we can’t avoid having conflict with somebody. We also have the ego and our pride is always with us. We always want to win, so when our contenders had a mistake, we take it as an advantage for us.

One for All, All for One (A Celebration of Christmas)

December 19, 2008 – It’s almost 7:00 when I arrived at school, wearing maong pants and P.E. t-shirt. My classmates are all outside the room. Some are busy with their gifts and others are having picture taking with are section’s t-shirts. At last, we had our t-shit already. We are going to wear it this afternoon. [The t-shirt: color-black, front-three stars, back- “Certified Sayanista”, “One for All, All for One”, “Tres-Nitrogenio”] We stayed outside the room. While waiting for my other classmates to open the room, Tenten gave all of us a gift. I received a personalized keychain. After sometime, Jenny opened the room. Only few stayed inside the room. I guessed they are busy, especially the participants for the chorale competition. I can’t remember the exact time when the program started. We are all gathered in the gym. The LIRIKO lead the doxology. The SALIW dance troop had a great performance also. The chorale competition is the most awaited part of the program. Each representative picked numbers to know who will perform first. Unluckily/luckily, the juniors were the first one to perform. (I don’t know if it is luck or misfortune) It’s not just the participants who were nervous. We are all nervous. We already won two times and I guessed it is quite embarrassing if we will lose this time. Everyone is quiet during the performance. haaaa… We are not that confident if we’ll win. The next to perform were the freshmen, followed by the seniors, and the sophomores. After seeing all the performance, we regain our confidence. As a part of the program, the SSG officers and members prepared some games. I don’t enjoy the games that much.

While Viel and I were cheering for the juniors, Ria (the GSP’s chairman) called us. She told us that we will have a meeting about our visit in Tahanan ni Maria. We are not yet sure if we will really go to Carmona. We decided to attend the meeting for us to know what will we do there and to help us decide if we will go or not. Upon entering the scouting room, we saw the other girl scouts dancing. Ma’am May told us to practice also. (haaaaa…..) I really did not expect that I will be dancing in front of many people. I practiced the steps. I felt bad because I can’t get the steps easily. (slow learner.. huh..) After we practiced, my classmates and I return the room. We directly go to the canteen and buy some drinks. After drinking, we go back to the room and practice again. When our other classmates saw us, they asked us why we are practicing. We just told them that we are new SALIW members already. hahaha. While we are busy practicing, we heard the loud shouts. They told us that we grab the 1st place in the chorale competition. Grand Slam!!!

I went home to eat lunch and change my clothes. When I go back to school, Chrisna saw me. She gave me a gift. I felt regretful because I don’t even have a gift for her. In the room, everyone seems to be so happy. We are all wearing our t-shirt. We practiced our presentation first. Though we don’t have enough time to practice and prepare, we still come up to a good presentation. Everyone dance and it is good to see that we are wearing the same shirt. “One for All, All for One”, that’s the motto of our section. The JUNIOR’s Christmas party will be in front of the Maliksi Building. Ma’am Tolentino gave an opening remark. “I now open the close!!!”. Each section prepared a presentation. After the games and the presentation, the Stimuli and the Toydoll wave band showed their wonderful talents as they sing.

After the year level party, we return to our room and we eat the foods that we prepared, baked macaroni, siomai, pizza, ice cream, chickens,etc. After eating, we had the exchange gift. Then, we practice for our dance again. We went out of the room to have some picture taking. We had a lot of pictures and w really enjoyed it. I am so happy and I did not expect that I will enjoy this much. I am so glad to have some memories to treasure as a part of the 3-Nitrogen.


One for All, All for One…
