The End

From the beginning, people have done nothing but fear the end of the world. You, if I ask you, I'm certain you would answer back that somehow, inside you, you fear it as well. But, come on people, when have predictions about this come true?

The most recent failed prediction was that the world will end in 2000. I even heard the news that satanists were running rampant back then. I even heard something about a family selling everything that they had except the clothes on their backs and the shoes on their feet because they feared that the world will end.

The most public prediction nowadays is that the world will end on the twenty-first of December in 2012. But c'mon, who honestly believes the predictions of the doomsday soothsayers? God forbid! the mayans were making a calendar, not some doomsday prediction.

And now, according to something I watched on the topic, even an internet program is predicting the same thing. But, who the heck cares? I mean, I betcha this will be the scenario on the twenty first of December in 2012.

[Newscast]

This just in, the world is expected to end in just a few hours. People are advised to seek shelter wherever they can...

... Any minute now...

Any second...

I'm telling you, the world will end in a few!...

This just in, scientists have discovered the REAL date for the end of the world

I mean, If you were a religious person, you would not listen to this crap right? I mean, who in the right senses would attempt to know WHEN the world will end. Dear Lord! I think it's better to not know, because if you knew then you would live every day in fear of what is coming.

For me, I refute the theories about the end of the world. They may be good for shits and giggles, a few laughs, and interesting debate topics. But trust me, it's a waste of precious time to actually try to find WHEN the world will end. Like in the bible, It says that not the angels in heaven, not the saints, not even the Son, ONLY the Father knows.

Who are we, but mere mortals? We don't dictate our fate. So, guys, I ask you now, Do YOU believe these theories?

Friends, Families, YES!! Photos? NO WAY!!

Okaaay... I might not have mentioned how much I hate getting my picture taken. A reason for why I went WTH?! when I read the required entries for our blog project. However, even if I TERRIBLY despise having my picture taken, there are a few cases that it's okay with me. The picture on the left shows my family, In order from the left: Carlo, my younger brother; Me; Maximo, my father; Virginia, my mother; and Ate Cay, my older sister.

This was, of course, taken last christmas, after we had moved into our new home in chrysanthemum.

Good Lord! I have no personal pictures. Well, this is due to the fact that I HATE cameras. And that I simply don't like how I look in pictures. However, there is this one picture I can never forget. It was taken in our section's farewell party at the Las Villas clubhouse. It was taken with the person I consider a sister in all but blood and my closest friend and confidante. Toldja, I hate pics. haha, but this one was a special one. :)

I don't think I have any more to show you... haha, that's all. I never ever show up in pictures. If you ask my classmates, I wasn't visible in the wacky version of our class picture last year! Well, that's all for now!

We are a Family

This is my family. I have two sister, one is older and the other is younger than me. My mom is a housewife while my dad is a seaman that is why whenever he comes home, we make sure that we make most of the time that we have to visit places. Yeah, we enjoy visiting other places, a lot. We've gone to Pagudpud, Ilocos, Calatagan, Boracay, Bicol, Sorsogon and many more. We love to go tripping.



You might be wondering why we chose to visit places here in the Philippines than in other countries, well, the reason behind it is that, before we go and visit other countries (which we are planning to do soon) we should try to appreciate first the ones we have here in our own country.

Yup, that's ONE of our dogs, we have 5 more. We consider them as our family. ahahahahaha We love dogs.

25 Years, Soaring High

I know that we can neither judge an institution from the length of time since it was established, nor on how big its population is and certainly not on how large the area it occupies. What matters is the quality of education and the good environment that it offers to the students. And as what I can say, Colegio San Agustin has provided all of these to students for almost 25 years.
It has been ten years since the first day I stepped in this school. Many things have changed since then, a lot of improvements have happened, new buildings were made, hallways have been perked up and the gardens were all at its best , but still the kind of education it offers students remain the same.

I am not saying that it is the best event that happened in my life because I’m still in the middle of it, but the best event, yet. It happened during our grade school days, we were at grade 6 then, it was during the graduation ceremony. I was awarded with first honors and some others. It’s not the award that made this event the best but the feeling of fulfillment in my life, thinking that all my endeavors paid-off and all the hardships I have faced were all worth it. It was really the best experience.

Well, I’m already at my second year of high school and I still am adjusting to the new environment this higher level of education has. Delighted but a bit sad, for this year, we have new classmates and teachers and a whole new journey to undertake, but having new classmates means that we get to bid goodbye to some, well, it’s not really goodbye at all because we’ll still be schoolmates and friends, yup I really wish that even though they are in a different class we’ll all remain as friends. Let our friendship be tested by time, just like how it tested our institution, through thick or thin.

Guided by our patron saint, St. Augustine, the guidance of the Holy Spirit and the love of our Lord, may our institution grow and continue its service. Soar High, Augustinians!

Books are friends...

Books take you places beyond your wildest dreams. A statement that holds true, staring deeply into the eyes of the ravages of time. Books, or written literature, has entertained mankind for centuries. I believe it's only natural to actually, READ them. Anyway, here are my top three books.

Coming in third place:
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows








hardy-har-har. I know people would be wondering why this is only the third favorite book in my arsenal. Well, let's just say that even though I love the story, I was quite disappointed with the outcome. Oh come one people! Do I even need to summarize the story for this one? I'm pretty sure that EVERYONE pretty much knows how the story goes. Am I RIGHT?

Second Place
The Wheel of Time















Okay... so, this is a relatively unknown book. It is the second book in a series of 12. It spans 50 chapters. It details the adventures of Rand al'Thor, Matrim Cauthon and Perrin Aybara. All of whom are Ta'Veren or people who affect the fates of those around them. They journey to destroy the Dark One, Shai'tan, Sightblinder, or even Leaf Blighter as some of the few names given to the malignant force bent on destroying the world.

First Place:
Brisingr

















So, I did mention that I am a great fan of medieval times, magic and dragons right? And what can be better than a book that has them both? This book follows the life of Eragon, once a simple farmboy turned Dragon Rider by fate. This details his adventures following the battle at the burning plains, where his old friend, Murtagh had become a dragon rider as well. But a Dragon Rider in service of Galbatorix, the malevolent force bent on dominating the continent of Alagaesia.

The Greatest Blessing God Ever Gave Me

God sent me wonderful angels to take care of me. Now, let me introduce to you these angels, my family.I live with my two aunts, an uncle, my mom, and my younger cousin. Though we don't have riches, we share the most wonderful thing--love.

As I've mentioned before, I was born by a single mom. This woman is the best mom God could ever give me. An angel in disguise. She is the bread winner of our family. My mom supports every member of the family, financially and morally. I consider her the wisest among her brothers and sisters. She is very practical and she never act without thinking. She is a strong and courageous woman. For me, she is the perfect mom, she's not too strict and she still gives me freedom to do whatever I want, as long as I should not get low grades.

My mom could not have done this without the support of her sisters and brothers--my uncle and aunts. They catered me with love. They cared so much for me and I'm very happy I have them as my family. I'm thankful to God, and I know that there won't be a better family for me.

Leisure is not luxury it's a necessity ...

Every person needs some undertakings to keep themselves engaged in activities - and something interesting or fun makes it more amiable too! Great hobbies promise this. With today’s stressful lifestyles and strenuous environment it’s important to have time to do things you want and enjoy.


First: Reading and writing
As what our teacher always tells us; "The work of the hands develops the mind and the work of the mind develops the hands", I certainly believe that. Well, I enjoy reading books, mostly fiction novels and some science-fiction, I also enjoy reading encyclopedias. I feel comfortable and at ease whenever I'm reading. I've grown longing to read, maybe it's because of my desire to learn new things. I am a person with great curiosity, and discovering new things fascinate me. Writing, on the other hand, also interests me but on a quite lower scale than reading. I enjoy writing poems but mostly I just write everything that pops in my mind.


Second: Listening to Music
"Music is the Language of the Soul" Have you ever wondered how a mother could easily calm her baby with gentle touches and serene whispers? Maybe it's the same with music, as what I believe. Well, music, for me, calms the soul. I enjoy listening to music of all sorts, except for the metal ones.




Third: Drawing
I usually draw to kill time, most of the time I draw either bits of nature or anything that comes into my mind. If you ask me why about nature, it's simply because it is very calming and I find it enjoyable.
