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 />
Mrs. Ma. Catherina I. Reyes<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 />

<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />
