Awatiro!

Last Monday, I visited Bianca Gonzales’ blog at blogspot. My God, her blog was six years old. So, she had it even before she enter Big Brother’s house.

Well anyways, that’s not what I want to talk about. I read some of her entries and as I read her entries or blogs, there was this one entry that I found very funny but it’s true.

She had this funny experience regarding a certain hair gel brand. She read the instruction at the back of the bottle container of the gel and it has wrong grammar daw. It was really funny because it says: apply a spoonful. God, kung mag-apply diay ug gel kay itakos pa sa kutsara??? It found it funny and I can’t help but laugh at the thought. Grabe jud akong ngisi sa atubangan sa monitor to the extent nga natingala na ang SA na nagbantay sa internet lab nganung ga-ngisi ko.



Much funny…

She had a brother who came just from Davao and he shared to her funny names of some establishments in Davao like


Mallengke(Mall/Palengke)
Kini Rogers (pinaka-funny jud ni)
James Tayloring
Harry Cutter

I can’t help but laugh at the names I just read. Since I was at the school lab in the library, I just giggled. Ngisi jud.

Tinood bitaw. Naay mga names na ingon ana. Naa gani:


Jolly Bee Restaurant
Makdo
Pinoy Big Barber
Diordano Fashion
Sonny
Nokla
Mike
Skeechers
And so on and so forth…


Naa ko’y napansin, mga Pinoy bitaw kay hilig kayo mag awat-awat. Awatiro jud. Ayna diha kay labaw pud ka. ^_^

My Prayer

The Serenity Prayer

God grant me the serenity

to accept the things I cannot change;

courage to change the things I can;

and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;

Enjoying one moment at a time;

Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;

Taking, as He did, this sinful world

as it is, not as I would have it;

Trusting that He will make all things right

if I surrender to His Will;

That I may be reasonably happy in this life

and supremely happy with Him

Forever in the next.

Amen.

--Reinhold Niebuh

Trust in the LORD with all your heart

and lean not on your own understanding;

in all your ways acknowledge him,

and he will direct your paths.

Four Years in XUHS

I would just like to summarize my experience in my four year stay in XUHS. Those years were colorful like every turn of the Kaleidoscope.

FIRST YEAR.

Section: I- St. John Berchmans
Moderator: Ma'am Gloria Manampan
Number of students: 46
My class number: 39

How will you describe your section?
Berchmans? Undescribable!
Well... my section is composed of people with different personalities and background.
We have smart and not-so-smart, homosexuals, straight, thin, fat, fast, slow, holy, devil/demonic, athletes, artists, singer, dancer...sagol gyud. My section is a general section so expect that halo-halo gyud ang mga studyante. Gubot siy pero ok lang. Medyo labad mi nga klase...medyo lang. Even though, it makes my first year a good year for me. Full of suprises and twists. Charmoos.

Favorite Teacher:
I don't know if there was any vut if there was, maybe it was Sir Fredyl, my Filipino teacher. He was a kind and nice teacher.

Terror Teacher:
Si ******
I am really scared of her and I don't like her. The reason why I don't like her it's because she always say bad words (teacher bya) and she always insult us and keep on telling us that we're dumb head or in Bisaya 'bugok'. i don't know i that was meant to motivate us but as  I see it, it was meant to demotivte us and made us hate her more. And the worst thing is, everyday, her subject is our first class. So murag, buntag palang, bad trip na imong adlaw!

Unforgettable Moments:

Daghan gyud pero ang dili nako makalimtan kay katong gipagawas mi duha sa akong classmate na itago nalang nato sa pangalan na Charlie ni Ma'am Science sa klase. Sala gyud ni Charlie.

So here's the story:
Science teacher: Ok Class, get 1/4 sheet of paper. Pls. don't give those who don't have a paper.

Of course, I have a paper but my seatmate who was Charlie doesn't have. And so, he asked from me a piece of paper but I hesitated to give him one. He insisted and then suddenly, Ma'am heard us talking and...
teacher: You two, go out from the classroom.

I was so shocked! And of course, I can do nothing about it and then I left the room together with Charlie. Kahilakon jud kaayo ko kay first time nako gipa-gawas sa classroom tapos dili pa gyud nako sala. Nadamay lang ko ni Charlie. tst.

Naka-sense si Charlie na kahilakon ko.
Charlie: Oy, Sorry na. Ayaw'g hilak diha.
Me: Da, samuk keo ka. Sala man gud ni nimo Charlie.
-Ulaw pa gyud kaayo kay naay naka-kita from other sections since open man ang door.

Achievements:

Hmmm...I did not make it to the honor's list even if I tried to. Well, it was an adjusting year for me. Na-shock lang ko sa demand sa Xavier. Grabe nga schoolworks!!!

One thing that I will consider as an achievement was when our section won as champion in the first year basketball girls. I was one of the basketball players during intrams. I don't know everything about basketball. All i knew was to run in the court, pass the ball, and shoot. Playing basketball was really tiring but it was also FUN. :-) It was worth fighting for until the end.

SECOND YEAR

Section: II- St. Peter Claver (pronounced as Kla-ver)
Moderator: Ms. Jubby Car Lusing (now she's Mrs. Jubby Car Lusing-Nery)
No. of students: 40 plus something
class number: 38

How will you describe your section?

Well, Claver is kind of a warshock section...as in! Even me myself can't understand my section. Grabe ka gubot and at the same time labad. We're number one at the PS office. Most of our teachers don't like our section (sad reality). There were instances when our teacher went out the room and cried. Despite the negative things, we remain strong through out the year. Our bonding was different.

Favorite teacher: Ma'am Yeban, our math teacher. She was so kind and so generous in giving grades that's why I like it. My grade in math progressed. When I was in first year, my grade in math were just around 85, 87, 86... In my second year, my grades in math were in 90 plus. I am so happy!

Terror teacher: hmmmmm.....can't remember.

Favorite subject: Biology, English, and History.

Biology-- I just like it...especially on our lessons about the human body systems.
English-- I  like it...ever since grade school.
History-- I like hisory coz it was like I'm journeying back to the past...to the time of Lao Tzu and more...

Unforgettable Moment:

so many to mention??

Achievement:

For the first time in my life in Xavier, I made it to the honor's list (third honor). I was one of the top students in class.

Won 2nd runner up in the Science Quiz Bee with two of my classmates.

Life is a Pencil

I  decided to change my blog title From 'The Living Journal' to 'Life is a Pencil.'... Wala lang. Trip lang. I got the inspiration Michael Bauzon, a Mindanaoan artist. Has has this website/blog entitled 'Life is a Canvas.'. The blog title is very much related to him as an artist/painter. That's why I decided to change my blog title so that it can somehow relate to me being a blogger. Although you don't use a pencil to blog but it is something you use when you write and it has something to do with me who personally likes writing. (Charmoos ginamoos) uber.

uber na ni.

A, B, C, D

bonjiorno!
(halooo...yey, naka-sulod ra gyud ko. Kaulit keo gahapon kay wala ko naka sign-in sa blog nako. Ambot nganu to. )

Thank God...medyo ka-gets nako sa lesson namu sa accounting maski wala ko'y basa-basa sa libro. Hantod karon wala pa ko'y nabasahan sa libro sa accounting 5 maski one sentence man lang. Alangan, murag wala nay time para mag basa kay busy kaayo sa uban subjects esp. english... I know na dapat priority gyud nako ang accounting pero mao na hinooy murag least priority nako. chaka.
Dapat jud mag focus nako sa accounting kay I'm one of those who were given a chance to retake accounting 4. Yah, balikan nako ang accounting 4 and naa mi remedial class every Saturday. Sakit man sa kabobot-on pero kailangan dawaton. chaka.

I am not after C nor D. Man, that's mediocrity! Grado pa ba na?? I always aim for an A or A-. But in a subject like accounting where you're brain will really be put into a challenging test, swerte na gyud ng maka C or D. According to them, gahi na daw gani ng maka-kuha ug C. So now, gina value na nako ang C ug D. But it's not good to say pud na C or D or B- lang imong kaya. Dapat didto jud ka sa A. Possible man na makuha ang A pero ...pero....speechless.

Basta, dapat jud mupasar nako sa accounting 4...dapat maka A or A- ko sa accounting 5. dpat lng gyud. Dapat ko mu-survive. Hahays.......

bow.

SENIOR YEAR

It's inevitable.

We have to part in able for us to grow.

My senior year was definitely

a year full of blast, twist, and adventure!

Oh yeah, I miss those times staying at the room

after class...just sitting down and talk about life & concerns.

I miss those people who keep on making my day

well, not so good day. Haha.

I miss those voices who keep on calling by my last name

even if I already told them to call me by my nickname.

I miss my beadle board.

I miss my locker.

I miss checking attendance and signing the attendance list.

I miss everything about IV-Mayer.

XAVIER FESTIVAL DAYS

PICTURES TAKEN LAST DECEMBER 3, 2009

@ XU Soccierfield

It's a time to relax...

to enjoy...

to relish the moment...

to be with friends...

to share...

to reminisce...

to fill up the nostalgia...

Even for the little time that we had, we didn't let the oppurtunity pass to be together again. So, it was sort of a reunion. I miss my friends especially the GC(Ginamoz Clan).
