After 12 years of service as a teacher<br />

and registrar, Mrs. Ma. Catherina<br />

I. Reyes was appointed by the<br />

School Administration as the new Officer-<br />

In-Charge for College Affairs of <strong>Marian</strong><br />

College of Baliuag last May, 2017.<br />

Reyes was overwhelmed that she<br />

earned the trust of the school administration<br />

and has given the opportunity to manage<br />

the College Department. In an interview,<br />

she was asked about her preparations as<br />

the new OIC, she said that she sought help<br />

from the faculty as she takes the position as<br />

their leader and not their superior. In order<br />

for the College department to work out,<br />

they have to work together. “Hindi ka boss,<br />

leader ka”, she uttered. According to her,<br />

being a registrar and OIC is difficult but she<br />

always makes sure to manage her time to<br />

accomplish the things that are on the top of<br />

the list and execute them successfully.<br />

At the end of her interview, she<br />

expressed her gratitude to everyone under<br />

her administration. She thanked her faculty<br />

members for being cooperative from the<br />

construction of ideas down to the execution<br />

of the activities done by the department<br />

and more so for the bond that they have<br />

created. She also thanked the students for<br />

being participative during school activities.<br />

She wishes them to enjoy and relax as<br />

they go along further with their studies.<br />

“Wala naman akong ibang hangad sa mga<br />

estudyante natin kundi maging successful<br />

sila.”, she said.<br />

Changes happen, the success of<br />

the department rests with a leader who is<br />

efficient and effective. <strong>The</strong> college students<br />

became participative and cooperative when<br />

it comes on the activities prepared by the<br />

department.<br />

<strong>The</strong> new system of having an<br />

effective management has been experienced,<br />

the fruit of hardwork has been presented.<br />

This may continue and lead to the success of<br />

the College Department of <strong>Marian</strong> College<br />

of Baliuag, Inc.<br />

kasalukuyan ay ipinagdiwang ang<br />

Buwan ng Wika na may temang<br />

“Wikang Filipino, Wikang Mapagbago” na<br />

isinagawa sa bulwagan ng paaralan. Tunay<br />

ngang hindi maitatanggi na ang ating wika ay<br />

sadyang naimpluwensyahan na ng iba’t ibang<br />

wikang banyaga. Sa kabila nito, pinagtibay ng<br />

mga mag-aaral ng <strong>Marian</strong> College of Baliuag na<br />

Sinundan naman ito ng paligsahan ng Lakan<br />

itinanghal na Lakan at Lakambini 2017 sina G.<br />

Ronnel Seraus (BSHM IV) at Bb. Clarish Claire<br />

Bilang pangwakas, tunay namang<br />

inabangan ng bawat mag aaral ang kapanapanabik<br />

na pagtatanghal ng bawat kalahok<br />

sa Pasalitang Tula. Bumuhos ang emosyon sa<br />

entablado kasabay ng hiyawan ng mga napukaw<br />

na damdamin sa bawat hugot na binibitawan ng<br />

mga kalahok. Isang tagos damdaming pahayag<br />

ang tumatak at tunay namang nakaantig sa puso<br />

ng bawat isa, ito ang Pasalitang Tula ni Shirleyn<br />

Tayao na mag-aaral ng HUMMS na naging<br />

dahilan upang kaniyang maiuwi ang unang<br />

pwesto sa patimpalak.<br />

<strong>Marian</strong> College Excels<br />

Meet 2017<br />

by Christine Mae Rico and<br />

<strong>The</strong> Achievers (L-R) Jashmer Caleon, Christine<br />

Mae Rico, Jelcy Mae Tiongson, Felicidad Magtalas,<br />

Dianne Christine Joson and Bernalyn Gallego<br />

Bulacan Private Schools Association<br />

conducted an annual Provincial meet for<br />

cultural categories. <strong>The</strong> said event was held at<br />

Dr. Yanga Colleges on October 18-19, 2017.<br />

<strong>The</strong> first day started with the Essay<br />

Writing, Pagsulat ng Sanaysay, and Poster<br />

Making Contest. <strong>The</strong> contestants did their<br />

best to prove that the students of <strong>Marian</strong><br />

College does not only excel in sports but in<br />

academics as well.<br />

On the second day, the college<br />

students showed their talents and intelligence<br />

in Oration, Extemporaneous Speech,<br />

Declamation, Tula, Talumpating Handa,<br />

Talumpating Di Handa, Vocal Solo and Vocal<br />

Duet. Each of them delivered their pieces very<br />

well in front of the crowd with confidence.<br />

THE MARIAN INSCRIPTION<br />

Real journalists present facts, exact<br />

information, and accurate details. <strong>The</strong>y serve<br />

as reliable sources of the mass.<br />

Our eyes may witness different<br />

events and our ears should not be off to<br />

listen. Our minds should balance creative and<br />

critical thinking, our tongue must be careful<br />

in delivering information to the crowd which<br />

is composed of different perspective, point<br />

of views and beliefs.<br />

Who are behind the spread lies? Are<br />

they one of the famous journalists?<br />

People who create news without<br />

any basis were not said to be journalists.<br />

Journalist’s blood circulates into its veins<br />

spreading truth and conscience works to<br />

survive and defeat the world of fake news.<br />

Nowadays, fake news is rapidly<br />

growing on social media and unreliable<br />

websites namely: adobochronicles.<br />

com, thephilippinetrend.com,<br />

thephilippinechronicles.com, ermitastimes.<br />

com, mosquitopress.net and the like. A<br />

disease spreads quickly into human brains<br />

and destroys hundreds of truth.<br />

<strong>The</strong> world is round. Lies over<br />

truth were defined. Different gossips were<br />

articulated by defective bloggers down to<br />

people following their blogs. Lots of fake<br />

news were posted by unreliable sources on<br />

social media seen by different people all over<br />

the world.<br />

<strong>The</strong> spread of fake news affects<br />

thousands of people around the world. Just<br />

like what happened to Communication Asec.<br />

Mocha Uson recently named as “Fake News<br />

Queen” by some of the twitter netizens, but<br />

ironically, she said that she’s also a victim of<br />

fake news.<br />

Everybody has the right to<br />

strengthen Freedom of Expression but not<br />

EDITORIAL│5<br />

to the extent that it would affect the mass<br />

by raising different issues against a person<br />

or a group of people. If this case will not<br />

be solved urgently, citizen’s trust to the<br />

Government will be lost.<br />

We readers, listeners, audience<br />

must know how to identify real news from<br />

fake news. We must be reminded to be alert<br />

and learn to distinguish news that we should<br />

believe to make it worthwhile.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Marian</strong> <strong>Inscription</strong>, Lumahok sa Taunang<br />

Liyab: Journalism Training Seminar<br />

Isang malaking karangalan para sa mga<br />

myembro ng <strong>The</strong> <strong>Marian</strong> <strong>Inscription</strong><br />

ang makalahok sa isang malawakang<br />

pagtitipon-tipon ng mga kabataang<br />

manunulat mula sa iba’t ibang paaralan sa<br />

NCR at mga kalapit na lalawigan.<br />

Iba’t ibang bihasa sa larangan ng<br />

pagsulat ang nakadaupang palad ng mga<br />

kabataang manunulat noong ika-18 at ika-<br />

20 ng Setyembre, 2017. Ang pagtitipon ay<br />

ginanap sa Philippine Normal University<br />

sa Maynila na kung saan kabilang sa<br />

mapapalad na kabataang manunulat ang<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Marian</strong> <strong>Inscription</strong> ng <strong>Marian</strong> College<br />

of Baliuag.<br />

Sa unang araw ng journalism<br />

training seminar (jts), nagkaraon ng<br />

pagtalakay tungkol sa pagsulat ng balita,<br />

lathalain, editoryal, isports, headline,<br />

editorial cartooning, copy reading,<br />

photojournalism at campus paper<br />

management na hindi lamang para sa<br />

mga mag-aaral kundi pati narin sa mga<br />

If social media emphasizes “Think before you<br />

click”, TMI inspires students to “Think, Express,<br />

Write and Take Photo”<br />

During the College Intramurals<br />

on October 11 and 12, 2017, <strong>The</strong> <strong>Marian</strong><br />

<strong>Inscription</strong> built a photo booth with the theme<br />

#CaptureYourHugot at the ground floor which was<br />

approved by the Officer-In-Charge for College<br />

Affairs. This was made by the organization not<br />

just to raise funds but also to give entertainment<br />

to the students and teachers of <strong>Marian</strong> College of<br />

Baliuag.<br />

<strong>The</strong> booth became attractive and catchy<br />

because of its features, different emoticons and<br />

sample hugot lines were posted on it. It gave the<br />

students a chance and opportunity to express what<br />

they feel through an illustration board and colored<br />

chalk where they’re going to write their hugotlines<br />

to be captured.<strong>The</strong> students paid Php15.00 where<br />

one of their pictures was printed and the rest of the<br />

photos were posted on the official Facebook<br />

page of <strong>The</strong> <strong>Marian</strong> <strong>Inscription</strong>.<br />

ni Aisyl Señoron<br />

taga-patnubay ng mga guro. Samantala,<br />

sa ikalawang araw ng nasabing seminar<br />

ay tinalakay naman ang pagsulat ng tula,<br />

sanaysay, non-fiction, campus press<br />

freedom bill, national situation for students<br />

at layouting.<br />

Naging makabuluhan at<br />

matagumpay ang dalawang araw na<br />

pakikibahagi ng mga kaalaman mula sa<br />

mga dalubhasa sa larangan ng pagsusulat<br />

ng dyaryo. Malaking karangalan para sa<br />

Ang mga myembro ng TMI sa PNU Grasslandia sa Liyab ‘17 Journalism Training Seminar<br />

ating munting pablikasyon ng <strong>Marian</strong><br />

College of Baliuag na maimbitahan sa<br />

ganitong okasyon. Ang mga kasanayan<br />

na natutunan mula sa seminar ang siyang<br />

ibabahagi at gagamitin para sa pag-isyu ng<br />

dyaryo ng TMI.<br />

Ang <strong>The</strong> Torch Publication na<br />

nangasiwa sa Journalism Training Seminar<br />

ay nag gawad ng sertipiko ng paglahok<br />

sa mga nagsidalo pati narin sa mga<br />

eskwelahan na nakiisa dito.<br />

Surprisingly, high school students<br />

and senior kinder pupils excitedly joined<br />

and participated in the fund raising booth of<br />

the organization. Of course, with the special<br />

participation of the Vice President, Mr. Ruperto<br />

Viñas and the Administrator of the school, Mrs.<br />

Narcisa Viñas and our beloved Officer-in-charge<br />

for College Affairs, Mrs. Ma. Catherina I. Reyes,<br />

the Program Heads, college faculty and students.<br />

<strong>The</strong> photo booth would not become<br />

successful without the help of the supportive TMI<br />

adviser, Mrs. Ma. Emely F. Pondare, who played<br />

an important role in this activity. She was the one<br />

who asked and encouraged the students to capture<br />

their hugot lines. <strong>The</strong> booth became attractive with<br />

the help of BSED 3 who designed it perfectly.<br />

10 Uri ng Estudyante<br />

ni Paul John Cabance<br />

Iba’t ibang katangian ng kaklase ang mayroon sa bawat estudyante. Bukod sa baon, ito ang isa sa mga pinaka masayang parte<br />

at kumukumpleto sa pagiging estudyante. Maraming uri o mga ugali ang iyong mararanasan sa bawat silid aralan na iyong<br />

mapapasukan. Ito ang mga iilan sa mga katangina: katangian:<br />

HUBARAN<br />

Ito yung mga uri ng estudyanteng<br />

excited umuwi, yung tipong kapapasok pa<br />

lang gusto na agad maghubad ng polo sa<br />

bahay, yung tipong tunog na lang ng bell yung<br />

hinihintay ready to go home na. Sila rin yung<br />

madalas puyat at palaging nasa labas ang isip.<br />

At ang pinaka malupit, mataas pa nakukuha<br />

nila sa quizzes at exams.<br />

DAHAN DAHAN<br />

Ito naman yung mga uri ng estudyante<br />

na palaging late kung pumasok. Tamad at<br />

dahan-dahan kung kumilos. Kadalasan puyat<br />

kakapanood ng kung anu–ano sa internet. Ito<br />

rin yung estudyante na pag naupo ayaw na<br />

tumayo. Madalas din itong wanted at hindi<br />

mamataan tuwing cleaners.<br />

KAININ MO MUNA<br />

Eto naman yung mga estudyanteng<br />

palaging canteen ang diretso, yung tipong<br />

“Ma’am CR lang po” pero makikita mo sa<br />

canteen kumakain na ng lunch. Kadalasan<br />

sila yung mga estudyanteng palaging tatlo sa<br />

grupo.<br />

SIPSIPAN<br />

Eto naman yung mga estudyanteng<br />

malapit kay Teacher. At palaging<br />

nagsusumbong ng mga estudyanteng pasaway.<br />

Sila rin yung pala-review at palaging mataas<br />

nakukuha sa exams at quiz. Madalas din silang<br />

sumamasagot tuwing recitation at nagpiprisintang<br />

magsulat sa white board.<br />

PASOK NA<br />

Eto naman yung mga estudyanteng<br />

masipag pumasok. “Early bird” kung tawagin.<br />

Sila yung mga genius sa klase at palaging<br />

kinokopyahan tuwing di nakatingin si Teacher.<br />

Madalas silang tahimik at hindi nakikigulo sa<br />

mga pasaway.<br />

MASAKIT NA<br />

Sila naman yung mga kadalasang<br />

binubully sa klase, mga “nerd” kung tawagin<br />

ng iba pero kadalasan sila ang mga mapag–<br />

pasensya at matured umintindi sa mga<br />

kaklaseng kulang sa pansin. Kahit masakit na<br />

tinitiis pa din nila.<br />

MADUGO<br />

Sila yung mga estudyanteng mahilig<br />

o magaling sa Mathematics dahil kahit madugo<br />

na nasasagutan pa din nila. Lalo na yung<br />

problema ni X na mula umpisa tinatanong na<br />

sa klase kung nasaan yang X na yan. Wala na<br />

bes, Sumama na sa iba. Wag na hanapin yung<br />

wala! qiqil muh c aqu eh!!<br />

LITERARY│7<br />

HUGUTIN MO NA<br />

Sila naman yung mga estudyanteng<br />

panay ang hugot sa pag– ibig kahit nagka-klase<br />

na. “okay class, find the missing value” tapos<br />

kakana yan ng “Ma’am wala na pong value<br />

kaya hindi na nya ko hinanap”. Kadalasan<br />

wala silang lecture at puro quotes lang ang<br />

laman ng notebook nila.<br />

ILABAS MO NA<br />

Sila naman yung mga estudyanteng<br />

may itinatagong galing at talino, ngunit<br />

mahiyain at hindi palasali sa mga contest<br />

sa school, sila kadalasan yung mga multi–<br />

talented ngunit di ipinapakita sa iba dahil<br />

nga NAHIHIYA silang ILABAS ang talent<br />

nila. Sila yung mga madalas na tahimik din<br />

at palaging mataas ang score sa test pero pag<br />

tinanong mo kung anong sagot sa number 2, di<br />

niya sasabihin. AYAW NYA KASI ILABAS.<br />

MASARAP PALA<br />

Hindi ito uri ng estudyante, pero<br />

isang pakiramdam ng pagiging estudyante.<br />

Oo masarap na mahirap. Mahirap dahil sa<br />

mga patung-patong na subjects na bumabaon<br />

sayo. Napapanaginipan mo tuwing gabi<br />

kaya di ka makatulog ngunit masarap dahil<br />

maraming nabuong samahan sa loob ng iisang<br />

eskwelahan, mga samut-saring ugali ang<br />

matutuklasan pero hindi pa rin mawawala ang<br />

pagmamahalan.<br />

Marami pang ibang uri ng estudyante ang ating MAKAKAsaMA habang tayo ay nag-aaral. Kaya kung ano pa man<br />

ang ugali mo, habang nasa paaralan ka na iyong PINAPASUKAN, siguraduhin mong MAKAKARAOS KA.

staring into the moon above.<br />

Wondering if I’m good enough,<br />

to be given your love.<br />

Even though I met you,<br />

two and a half years before.<br />

I have learned so much of who you are<br />

and thirst to learn even more.<br />

I want to share my world with you,<br />

all the smiles and all the tears.<br />

I want to learn to trust again,<br />

something I haven’t done for years.<br />

I want you to know,<br />

you are my only desire.<br />

I want to be with you,<br />

keep burning my inner fire.<br />

I want to hold you tight,<br />

right in my arms.<br />

I want to kiss your lips<br />

and be your charm.<br />

One day we will feel it again,<br />

full of love and full of trust,<br />

One day my love, we will make it<br />

and be infinite like stardust<br />

Yes, I am<br />

I drink but I pray,<br />

I cheat but I really don’t want to play<br />

I disobey but I listen,<br />

I lie to save my day<br />

I cut class but in the end,<br />

I always have a place<br />

In my own path in race.<br />

I love but I always ended up waste<br />

I hold but he broke,<br />

Maybe I’m not his taste<br />

What a fool, I am!<br />

I laugh to keep me in<br />

But behind those laugh I cry<br />

Like a leaf whose near to dry<br />

You’ll never know who am I,<br />

Unless you look close into my eyes.<br />

Bagong kabataan, ano ba ang naisulong<br />

Pag-asensong hindi ramdam, iyon na ba ang tulong?<br />

Maraming kailangang patunayan ang kabataang naghahangad<br />

Ng Pila-pilang plano, ba’thindi pa rin makausad?<br />

Sa halip na mag-aral mas piniling tumambay<br />

Magdamag sa kanto nag-aabang ng away<br />

Hikahos na sa buhay lalo pang nag-hirap<br />

Batang hindi makitaan ng kaunting pangarap<br />

Ligaw na bala ang ikinababahala sa labas,<br />

Hindi lang bala ang ligaw pati na ang landas<br />

Ang ina’y nangangamba kung nasaan ang anak<br />

Habang ang ama’y malayo at pawis ay pumapatak<br />

Mga kabataan ang pag-asang sinisigaw,<br />

Subalit ngayon kabataa’y unti-unting bumibitaw<br />

Sa halip na lumaban, sinasayang ang lakas,<br />

Maraming tao ang naniniwala na sila ang alas<br />

Huwag tayong masanay sa ganitong sistema<br />

Hindi panahon ang bulok, nasa sarili ang problema,<br />

Kung mali ang direksyon ng agos,<br />

Huwag sanang patangay upang tayo’y makaraos<br />

<strong>The</strong> Life’s Creator<br />

by Felicidad Magtalas<br />

A life is full of challenges<br />

Mostly it hits our weaknesses<br />

But don’t be afraid to fight<br />

And always be on the side of right<br />

Sometimes we want to give up<br />

But remember it is just a trap<br />

Because we already forget Him<br />

<strong>The</strong> one who created everything<br />

Don’t lose your hope and faith<br />

Just look above and talk to the one<br />

who create<br />

Everything is possible<br />

Even if He is invisible<br />

<strong>The</strong> Life Inside<br />

by Ayralyn R. Tagle<br />

Lots of four-corner rooms<br />

Place that would never blooms<br />

All quadrants have locks and bars<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are no lights nor stars<br />

Each room has different stories<br />

All people living are full of mystery<br />

Others are holding bibles, and rosaries<br />

Knees were bent and believing in God’s Mercy<br />

Paper and pen for journals<br />

Stating that they are not animals<br />

<strong>The</strong>y were accused to be immoral<br />

By doing such thing which is not intentional<br />

Forced to hold bars through money<br />

Tongue twisted words of society<br />

Deprived to experience the long journey<br />

Be with their friends and family<br />

How can these birds be free from the cage?<br />

Caught and shot with those who had badge<br />

How can they reach the edge<br />

If freedom is the only bridge?<br />

SEQUITUR<br />

by Dianne Christine Joson<br />

What a cruel life in this world.<br />

We live difficulties to be bold.<br />

Everything’s permanent but we get old.<br />

Appreciating even little things to reach the gold.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are many rules to follow.<br />

But you’re the only one to be the arrow.<br />

‘Coz your life can’t be borrowed.<br />

You’ll choose if happiness or sorrow.<br />

If living is a chance.<br />

Why we can’t do to enhance?<br />

We do things in glance.<br />

And we should live with balance<br />

Phantom<br />

by Edelyn Manalili<br />

LITERARY│9<br />

Life is not easy to surpass<br />

Nor to make it perfect<br />

But one thing is for sure,<br />

We! We can make it meaningful<br />

In this world full of nothing,<br />

People were asking for acceptance<br />

In this world full of judgments<br />

People were trying to be good<br />

Things will fall apart and break into pieces<br />

and never been back on how it is used to be<br />

Remember life is too short<br />

so live to the fullest<br />

Never waste your time<br />

Never count your mistakes<br />

<strong>The</strong> life is yours<br />

So make it happen<br />

“Ang kahirapan ay hindi hadlang sa tagumpay”.<br />

Ito ang pinapatunayan ni Jefferson Santos<br />

Magat, isang mag-aaral ng ikatlong baitang sa kursong<br />

Bachelor of Science in Business Administration ng<br />

<strong>Marian</strong> College of Baliuag.<br />

Paggapas sa bukid ang nakasanayang trabaho<br />

ni Jeff. Ito ang kaniyang hanapbuhay upang matustusan<br />

ang kanyang pag-aaral at tulungan ang kaniyang mga<br />

magulang at kapatid.<br />

Si Jeff ang panganay sa tatlong magkakapatid.<br />

Ngunit nang siya ay isinilang, inakala ng kaniyang mga<br />

magulang na siya ay patay na. Nabalot ng kalungkutan<br />

ang kaniyang mga magulang sapagkat siya ang unang<br />

anak. Hanggang sa isang kamangha-manghang<br />

pangyayari ang naganap, nang malapit na siyang ilibing,<br />

narinig nila ang iyak ng sanggol.<br />

“Oo binigyan ako ng pangalawang pagkakataon upang<br />

mabuhay, naging sakitin ako ngunit hindi ko ipinakita<br />

na ako’y mahina”, ani Jeff.<br />

Ang kaniyang ina ay isang mananahi at ang<br />

kaniyang ama ay kasalukuyang isang construction worker<br />

na pangunahing pinagkukunan ng kanilang pang-arawaraw<br />

na gastusin. Noong naging OFW ang kanyang ama<br />

ng 2 taon sa Qatar kahit papaano’y nakapagpundar sila<br />

ng bahay sa Candaba, Pampanga. Mayroon silang maliit<br />

na lupain kung saan sila ay nagtatanim ng palay at iba<br />

pang mga pananim.<br />

Lumaki si Jeff sa isang simpleng paraan ng<br />

pamumuhay. Sa murang edad naranasan ni Jeff gumapas,<br />

at mamasukan sa bumibili ng palay upang maghakot at<br />

magbuhat ng saku-sakong palay. Sa kabila ng maulan at<br />

mainit na panahon patuloy pa rin ang kaniyang pagkayod<br />

kapalit ng apat na raang piso at bigas na bigay ng mayari<br />

ng palayan.<br />

“Nag trabaho ako upang magkaroon kami ng<br />

bigas at pantustos sa pag-aaral”, sabi niya. Naranasan<br />

din niya maglako ng isda at magtrabaho sa palengke.<br />

Nag trabaho din siya sa bilihan ng mineral water, sa edad<br />

na 17 patuloy ang pagbabanat ng buto ni Jeff upang<br />

makatulong sa kaniyang pamilya at makapag aral.<br />

Nang siya ay mag-aral sa kolehiyo<br />

ipinagpatuloy niya ang pagiging working student nang<br />

mag-apply siya bilang isang service crew sa isang fastfood<br />

chain at matanggap sa programa na Skills Enhancement<br />

and Educational Development for Students ng <strong>Marian</strong><br />

College.<br />

LITERARY│12<br />

Walang Mahirap sa Taong May Pangarap<br />

by Mary Ann Pateño<br />

Ang trabaho niyang ito ang naging daan upang<br />

maipagpatuloy niya ang kaniyang pag-aaral sa kolehiyo.<br />

Noong unang dalawang taon pa lamang niya sa kolehiyo<br />

ay maayos pa siyang nakakapagtrabaho, subalit ngayong<br />

nasa ikatlong taon na, siya ay medyo nahirapan gawa<br />

ng laging pagpupuyat kaya huminto siya sa trabaho sa<br />

fastfood chain.<br />

Hindi rin naging balakid sa pag-aaral ni<br />

Jeff ang layo ng kanilang bahay, buong tiyaga niyang<br />

binibiyahe mula Pampanga patungong Baliuag arawaraw.<br />

Pagdating niya sa bayan ng Baliuag ay nilalakad<br />

na niya ito hanggang sa kaniyang paaralan. Sa loob ng<br />

tatlong taon hanggang sa kasalukuyan ito ay kaniyang<br />

ginagawa.<br />

“Kailangan ko kasing magtipid baka may biglang<br />

kailangan sa eskwelahan” sabi ni Jefferson. Pagkatapos<br />

naman ng kaniyang klase ay agad siyang umuuwi<br />

upang matulungan pa niya ang kaniyang magulang sa<br />

gawaing bahay pag walang takdang aralin o proyekto sa<br />

eskwelahan.<br />

Naging miyembro si Jeff ng College Student<br />

Council noong siya ay nasa unang taon sa kolehiyo<br />

naging aktibo siya sa iba’t ibang aktibidad sa paaralan.<br />

Ngunit nitong natapos na semester sinubok ang tatag ng<br />

loob ni Jeff nang magkaroon ng problema ang kanilang<br />

pamilya, nagkasakit ang kaniyang ama at nagkaroon ng<br />

sabay-sabay na gastos sa eskwelahan silang magkapatid.<br />

Hindi siya nakakuha ng huling pagsusulit sapagkat hindi<br />

pa niya nababayaran ang kaniyang balanse sa matrikula.<br />

Muntik na siyang panghinaan ng loob, naisip niya na<br />

baka maging dahilan ito ng paghinto niya sa pag-aaral<br />

ngunit dahil ang Diyos ay mapagpala dininig agad nito<br />

ang panalangin ni Jeff at nakahanap sila ng solusyon<br />

upang mabayaran ang kanyang matrikula.<br />

“Minsan naiisip ko, buti pa iyong mga mayayaman<br />

napakaswerte nila nakakapasa agad, samantalang<br />

iyong mga batang mahirap at gustong mag-aral sila pa<br />

iyong nahihirapan, minsan naiisip ko napaka-unfair ng<br />

buhay”, paliwanag ni Jeff. Sa ngayon kahit papano’y<br />

naigagapang pa ang kaniyang pag-aaral. Hinahangad<br />

niya na sana matapos niya ang kaniyang pag-aaral dahil<br />

gusto niyang matupad ang kanyang mga pangarap sa<br />

buhay.<br />

“Ang masasabi ko lang basta may pangarap ka,<br />

mahirap ka man o mayaman, walang hadlang para hindi<br />

maabot iyon. Kasi ikaw ang gumawa ng pangarap mo,<br />

kung ano iyong mga ginagawa mo para sa pangarap mo,<br />

balang araw may makukuha kang ginhawa para sa sarili<br />

mo. Ang kailangan mo lang magtiwala sa Diyos at sa<br />

sarili mo na kaya mo”, ani pa ni Jeff.<br />

Walang Titulo<br />

Isang gabi habang pinagmamasdan ko ang mga bituin ay may<br />

isang bulalakaw na biglang dumating. Hindi ako nag-aksaya nang<br />

panahon kaya dali-dali akong humiling, at sa libu-libong sana na<br />

gusto kong banggitin, isa lang ang pinili kong sabihin at iyon ay ang<br />

sana ako ang ‘yong piliin.<br />

Sa paglipas ng mga araw pinaniwala ko ang sarili kong matutupad ang<br />

aking hiling, na hindi rin magtatagal at mararamdaman kong unti-unti<br />

kang lalapit papunta sa akin, pagkatapos ay bigla mo akong yayakapin,<br />

at dahan-dahan mong ibubulong ang mga salitang hinihintay kong sa’yo<br />

manggaling.<br />

Ngunit nagdaan ang ilang mga araw pero wala pa rin akong naaninag<br />

na ikaw, natapos ang ilang mga gabi pero hanggang ngayon wala<br />

ka pa rin sa aking tabi. Hindi. Na. Ako. Mapakali. Wala na akong<br />

paki kaya’t mabilis akong tumungo sa ‘yo at sinabi ang mga<br />

salitang dapat ikaw ‘yong nagsasabi. Nang matapos tayong magusap,<br />

nawala lahat ng pagtitimpi. Inakala kong kaiinisan ko ang<br />

sarili pero hindi ako nakaramdam ng pagsisisi, dahil noong oras<br />

na sabihin kong mahal kita ay bigla mong sinabing gusto mo ako.<br />

<strong>The</strong> World of tumblr.<br />

At oo, sobrang saya ko, kahit pa hindi iyon ang gustong marinig ng mga<br />

tenga ko. Matapos noong araw na ‘yon ay lagi na tayong magkasama,<br />

gabi-gabi tayong hinehele ng paborito mong mga kanta. Sabay na<br />

iniiyakan ang bawat dumating na problema, magkasama sa lahat kahit<br />

ayaw pa ng iba. Naging masaya tayo sa sitwasyong mahal kita at gusto<br />

mo ako.<br />

Naging masaya tayo sa kwentong tungkol sa akin na mahal ka, at<br />

tungkol sa ‘yo na gusto ako. Naging masaya tayo sa apat na taong mahal<br />

kita at gusto mo ako. Naging masaya tayo, iyon ang inakala ko.<br />

Isang gabi habang pinagmamasdan ko ang mga bituin. Inalala ko<br />

‘yong gabing nakita ko kayong dalawa, magkahawak-kamay habang<br />

naglalakad sa kalsada. At doon, doon ko napagtantong hindi totoo ang<br />

paghiling sa mga bulalakaw. Dahil ang totoo, kaya mo lang akong<br />

gustuhin...<br />

Pero kahit kailan, hindi mo ako magagawang mahalin.”<br />

Before the highly arisen varieties of<br />

social media sites like Instagram,<br />

Facebook, Twitter or even several<br />

dating platforms, there exists an<br />

interesting site called Tumblr. Although the<br />

mentioned sites above have more active users<br />

than Tumblr, some of the aspiring bloggers<br />

like me sees that it is far different from any<br />

other sites. From dashboard and the contents<br />

itself, we can say so. And for the creative<br />

minds, it suggests a good place to peruse<br />

inspiration for arts and media arts that can<br />

broaden the idea of an artist.<br />

Looking at a larger picture, Tumblr<br />

is also a social site that lets you post contents<br />

specifically audios, videos, photos, GIFs<br />

(which Tumblr contributed to officially add<br />

it in Oxford Dictionary) and quotes. Quote<br />

posting is interesting because the words are<br />

large in font size and includes a separate<br />

section that lets you write the author/writer<br />

of the quote. You can also see interesting<br />

and sensible arguments in different threads.<br />

And lastly, it let’s you choose vast number of<br />

categories for interests to filter out what you<br />

want to see in your dashboard or feed.<br />

Moreso, there are Pros & Cons once you’re<br />

into it or at least planning to be a “blogger”.<br />

First, you can view almost all interests on the<br />

site, unless a particular user refused to post<br />

it publicly. <strong>The</strong>re are blogs that are dedicated<br />

to everything, even sh*t posts. It’s like a<br />

virtual interest box. Second, most memes and<br />

text jokes existed there first; even Facebook<br />

users agree with that. Third, it’s not exactly<br />

a socializing platform. Users there are more<br />

after the contents, you can stare scroll and<br />

even re-blog through blogs without it being<br />

weird if you hit the follow button. Also,<br />

serious discussions like world events, issues<br />

like racism and sexism and a lot more are<br />

present there. And mostly, the dialogue is<br />

great. But, let’s not stick with the pros only.<br />

On the other hand, the cons of the<br />

user interface and/or the site itself. First in the<br />

list, if you think arguments on several sites<br />

are bad, Tumblr could be worse. <strong>The</strong>re are<br />

also a portion of users who aren’t properly<br />

mannered to say humble and kind words.<br />

It’s a blogging platform that lets you put any<br />

content you want. I mean anything. What<br />

could be worse? Next, a re-blog lets you<br />

put a content on your own separate thread.<br />

That means a misinformation can spread in<br />

no time. Lastly, plagiarizing by grabbing<br />

contents stubbornly a specific content and<br />

reposting it without the discretion or credit<br />

from the original owner. Who wants that?<br />

Despite the bad apples that have<br />

been mentioned, we have to know that it<br />

is still our choice that lead us to something<br />

whether it is right or wrong. This means it<br />

applies to all kinds of social media.<br />

<strong>The</strong> battle between the <strong>Marian</strong><br />

College versus Bestlink College for the<br />

Championship game was unpredictable.<br />

<strong>The</strong> first set of the game was announced<br />

as default because MCB players did not<br />

arrive on time. <strong>The</strong> said decision didn’t<br />

deplete the fighting spirit of the team.<br />

<strong>The</strong> heat, sweat and thirst didn’t halt the<br />

<strong>Marian</strong>ers for snatching the 2nd, 3rd and<br />

4th sets. <strong>The</strong> athletes were astonishing for<br />

their showmanship and teamwork during the<br />

game. <strong>The</strong>y have proven that even they were<br />

plunged down they will rise above all.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Vice President/Sports Director, Mr.<br />

Ruperto G. Viñas, the students and the<br />

a true and living proof of hardwork and<br />

perseverance.
