Alarming cell<br />
phone cases<br />
By Lorela V. Talingting, 5-A<br />
During my one-on-one<br />
interview with <strong>the</strong> Student<br />
Council (SC) President Mr.<br />
James <strong>La</strong>st Dela Cruz, we were<br />
able to d<strong>is</strong>cuss <strong>the</strong> offences<br />
committed by some ANHS<br />
students. He mentioned that<br />
<strong>the</strong>re <strong>is</strong> a high incident of unauthorized<br />
use of cell phones<br />
in <strong>the</strong> campus. Students from<br />
<strong>TVET</strong> courses had <strong>the</strong> most<br />
violations followed by those<br />
from High School department.<br />
The SC <strong>is</strong> having a hard time.<br />
James <strong>is</strong> appealing to all <strong>the</strong><br />
students to spend some time to<br />
read <strong>the</strong>ir handbook to minimize<br />
<strong>the</strong> offences.<br />
The repercussion of<br />
cell phone violation <strong>is</strong> not a<br />
joke. Students would be d<strong>is</strong>qualified<br />
from receiving any<br />
award. The SC officers are doing<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir part in reminding <strong>the</strong><br />
students to turn off <strong>the</strong>ir cell<br />
phones before and during<br />
classes. There are signages,<br />
continuous reminders, and<br />
v<strong>is</strong>ibility of SC officers in <strong>the</strong><br />
waiting area. Still, <strong>the</strong>re were<br />
students who forgot to do so.<br />
CAMPUS<br />
ANHS lives it up in <strong>La</strong>sallian<br />
M<strong>is</strong>sion Week<br />
What <strong>is</strong> <strong>La</strong>sallian M<strong>is</strong>sion<br />
Week? It <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> week<br />
wherein as <strong>La</strong>sallians we remember<br />
and re-live <strong>the</strong> teachings<br />
of our patron saint St.<br />
John Bapt<strong>is</strong>t De <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>. The<br />
whole <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Hills</strong><br />
community including <strong>the</strong> Adult<br />
Night High School participated<br />
in <strong>the</strong> said celebration last July<br />
18-22 and 25, 2011. The<br />
launching in ANHS was held<br />
at <strong>the</strong> Promenade wherein selected<br />
students and faculty<br />
members performed <strong>the</strong> “Live<br />
It Up” dance. The <strong>the</strong>me song<br />
“I am a <strong>La</strong>sallian” was sung by<br />
Jay John Morallos of 4-A and<br />
Jenevive Orosco of 2-A.<br />
A week-long talk about<br />
<strong>the</strong> h<strong>is</strong>tory of <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> was<br />
given to all <strong>the</strong> ANHS students<br />
from 1 st Year to 5 th Year. Chosen<br />
participants from <strong>the</strong> officers<br />

In that said activity students<br />
from both ANHS and<br />
High School Department went<br />
to a depressed area in San Juan<br />
by riding <strong>the</strong> public transportation<br />
and <strong>the</strong>y interacted with<br />
<strong>the</strong> people within <strong>the</strong> vicinity.<br />
On <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r hand, our<br />
SC President and Vice President<br />
joined by some of our faculty<br />
and support staff shared<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir time and selves for <strong>the</strong><br />

and philosophy of our school.<br />
It will serve as <strong>the</strong> gift of <strong>La</strong><br />
<strong>Salle</strong> <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Hills</strong> to <strong>the</strong> Centennial<br />
Celebration of our institution.<br />
The whole week of <strong>the</strong><br />
celebration focused on keeping<br />
<strong>the</strong> teachings and spirit of our<br />
patron saint alive, not only<br />
with our deeds towards o<strong>the</strong>r<br />
people but also in our hearts<br />
and minds.<br />
Let us care for <strong>the</strong> Earth!<br />

course teachers that garnered<br />
<strong>the</strong> highest points in <strong>the</strong> first<br />
Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle<br />
for Tomorrow (R34T) drive<br />
were <strong>the</strong> recipients of <strong>the</strong> Cares<br />
for <strong>the</strong> Earth Award for<br />
First Trimester. The awarding<br />
was done last September 8,<br />
2011 at <strong>the</strong> Promenade.<br />
In <strong>the</strong> High School<br />
Category, <strong>the</strong> winners are 4B<br />

(Second Place), and Bookkeep-<br />

ing and Mr. Carlo Legaspi<br />
(Third Place).<br />
It <strong>is</strong> always nice to win<br />
an award, but <strong>the</strong> (R34T) drive<br />
does not end with <strong>the</strong> award.<br />
The main purpose of <strong>the</strong> drive<br />
<strong>is</strong> to encourage each and everyone<br />
to segregate <strong>the</strong>ir garbage<br />
and make use of <strong>the</strong> recyclable<br />
materials to minimize<br />
garbage and help save <strong>the</strong><br />
Earth. The campaign <strong>is</strong> spearheaded<br />
by <strong>the</strong> Student Council.<br />
During <strong>the</strong> week,<br />
ANHS students were busy<br />
scavenging for used bottles in<br />
<strong>the</strong> trash bins and bringing<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir recyclable materials from<br />
home. Some brought something,<br />
but o<strong>the</strong>rs did not. Some<br />
participated to win. The most<br />
important part <strong>is</strong> that <strong>the</strong>y<br />
make sense of <strong>the</strong> campaign<br />
and try to do what <strong>is</strong> best.

Dito naranasan niya ang<br />
mga pagsubok habang nagtratrabaho<br />
at nag-aaral. Sadyang<br />
kay hirap pagsabayin ang<br />
trabaho at pag-aaral. Katulad<br />
ng marami, sa umaga nagtratrabaho<br />

nag-aaral, at pag-uwi bago pa<br />
man makapag-pahinga,<br />
kailangan munang magbalik<br />

makatapos ng dalawang taon<br />

You might be asking what <strong>the</strong> title means. To explain fur-<br />
<strong>the</strong>r, here it goes. DepEd plans to move <strong>the</strong> opening of classes to<br />
September because officials think that suspension of classes will<br />
be minimal if th<strong>is</strong> scheme will be implemented.<br />
The Philippines <strong>is</strong> in <strong>the</strong> tropical zone of <strong>the</strong> equator and<br />
that makes us prone to typhoons. An ANHS Physics teacher said<br />
that Filipinos should get used to rainy season because it <strong>is</strong> caused<br />
by nature. We can never control it. We should know how to pro-<br />
tect ourselves in times like th<strong>is</strong>. The day <strong>is</strong> wasted if classes are<br />
suspended. Filipino students become lazy to go to school. Be-<br />
cause of th<strong>is</strong>, even college students clamor for suspension of<br />
classes.<br />
EDITORIAL<br />
Flip or Suspension?<br />
The thoughts presented are very inspiring. However, mov-<br />
ing <strong>the</strong> start of classes to September <strong>is</strong> not really applicable for us<br />
Filipinos. If we are trying to escape <strong>the</strong> d<strong>is</strong>ruption of classes due<br />
to typhoons, we can never escape it. There will be chances that in<br />
any month, a typhoon will enter our country just like when On-<br />
doy v<strong>is</strong>ited us in September of 2009.<br />
When it rains, it pours. What we have to do to avoid acci-<br />
dents and d<strong>is</strong>eases during rainy season <strong>is</strong> to double our efforts in<br />
taking care of ourselves, children, and family. We also hope that<br />
<strong>the</strong> government will fix <strong>the</strong> clogged drainage of different cities<br />
and municipalities to avoid flood. We in turn have to do our part<br />
and cooperate on what we need to do.<br />
There are things that Filipinos do during vacation and we<br />
are used to it. It <strong>is</strong> very hard to change what people have been do-<br />
ing for many years now. How come DepEd has only thought of<br />
moving <strong>the</strong> opening of classes lately? The fact <strong>is</strong> typhoons v<strong>is</strong>it<br />
us every year. Is it a political move, a change in <strong>the</strong> education<br />
system, or an invitation for transformation?<br />

OPINION<br />
By Mariam Camille A. Tambio<br />
To be a recipient of a scholarship <strong>is</strong> such a privilege because<br />
lots of students need it to support <strong>the</strong>ir everyday needs like transpor-<br />
tation going to school.<br />
There are criteria for students to qualify. Teachers recommend<br />
students and consult <strong>the</strong> opinion of class officers as well. Then, <strong>the</strong><br />
Principal interviews <strong>the</strong>m and explains to <strong>the</strong>m <strong>the</strong> benefits and re-<br />
sponsibilities expected from <strong>the</strong>m once <strong>the</strong>y qualify.<br />
Stop! Look! and L<strong>is</strong>ten! Do <strong>the</strong> admin<strong>is</strong>trators know how <strong>the</strong><br />
recipients use <strong>the</strong> allowance <strong>the</strong>y get from <strong>the</strong>ir scholarship? Maybe<br />
o<strong>the</strong>rs will ask why must we probe where <strong>the</strong> money goes? I am not<br />
saying th<strong>is</strong> just to pose a problem or because I envy <strong>the</strong> scholars. For<br />
<strong>the</strong> past years, I observed th<strong>is</strong> kind of situation and it <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> right time<br />
for us to be aware of what <strong>is</strong> happening after <strong>the</strong>y get <strong>the</strong>ir allow-<br />
ance. Some scholars incur many absences. Where do <strong>the</strong>y use <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
allowance? Th<strong>is</strong> <strong>is</strong>sue has been ra<strong>is</strong>ed so that <strong>the</strong> recipients would<br />
realize that <strong>the</strong>y were carefully chosen to be recipients in order for<br />
<strong>the</strong>m to continue <strong>the</strong>ir studies and eventually fin<strong>is</strong>h it despite lack of<br />
money. The allowance should not be used to buy unnecessary things.<br />
Scholars should not waste <strong>the</strong>ir money. Th<strong>is</strong> causes some students<br />
not to support <strong>the</strong> program One Heart, One Purpose because <strong>the</strong>y<br />
know where <strong>the</strong> money will be spent. They would ra<strong>the</strong>r spend <strong>the</strong><br />
money for <strong>the</strong>ir own transportation. Some think that we are tolerat-<br />
ing <strong>the</strong>m.<br />
Where does it go?<br />
On <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r hand, I also commend those students who spend<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir money well and attend <strong>the</strong>ir classes regularly. They should<br />
serve as models for o<strong>the</strong>r scholars to do <strong>the</strong> same. Financial support<br />
<strong>is</strong> indeed a great help and it serves as a driving force for some stu-<br />
dents to do well in <strong>the</strong>ir studies. They should also put to good use <strong>the</strong><br />
blessings and help extended to <strong>the</strong>m.<br />

Filipino Weak?<br />
By Lorela V. Talingting, 5-A<br />
Is <strong>the</strong>re really a need to suspend classes when <strong>the</strong>re<br />
<strong>is</strong> a typhoon? We are in a tropical country and whe<strong>the</strong>r we<br />
like it or not, typhoons and o<strong>the</strong>r wea<strong>the</strong>r d<strong>is</strong>turbances pass<br />
through our country every now and <strong>the</strong>n. Suspension of classes most of<br />
<strong>the</strong> time <strong>is</strong> announced late. Why do we have to suspend classes anyway<br />
when some of <strong>the</strong> students would only stroll around every time classes<br />
are suspended? Why don‟t we accept <strong>the</strong> fact that we can still continue<br />
studying and working even if <strong>the</strong> wea<strong>the</strong>r <strong>is</strong> bad? Look at Japan. Earthquakes<br />
occur <strong>the</strong>re every now and <strong>the</strong>n, but <strong>the</strong>y are able to adapt and<br />
live with it. If <strong>the</strong>y can do it, why can‟t we? Don‟t we think th<strong>is</strong> makes us<br />
a weaker race? We Filipinos claim to be dynamic. We can easily adapt to<br />
different kinds of living conditions. As a proof, <strong>the</strong>re <strong>is</strong> a Filipino in<br />
every part of <strong>the</strong> globe who learns to adapt to different wea<strong>the</strong>r and cultures<br />
as well.<br />
I am just sad that even our college students and workers want to<br />
be included in <strong>the</strong> suspension. How can we achieve <strong>the</strong> progress that we<br />
long for when we are easily d<strong>is</strong>tracted by <strong>the</strong>se wea<strong>the</strong>r d<strong>is</strong>turbances? I<br />
think we should analyze and make a stand about it. Since childhood, I<br />
have been hearing about <strong>the</strong> plan to move <strong>the</strong> start of classes from June<br />
to September just like in <strong>the</strong> USA. However, it remains a plan. Don‟t we<br />
think it <strong>is</strong> about time to implement it?<br />
As a student, suspension of classes <strong>is</strong> such a burden. It <strong>is</strong> not that<br />
easy to learn when <strong>the</strong> time allotted <strong>is</strong> too short. And as for teachers, th<strong>is</strong><br />
suspension of classes would only add-on to <strong>the</strong>ir job and effort to teach<br />
<strong>the</strong> lessons to <strong>the</strong>ir students. I was inspired to write about th<strong>is</strong> topic because<br />
of Ms. Alley, my Physics teacher. She d<strong>is</strong>cussed it in our class and<br />
made me think and write about it. I have to leave <strong>the</strong>se questions to you<br />
readers. Don‟t you think that th<strong>is</strong> <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> time for us to change our attitudes<br />
toward <strong>the</strong>se wea<strong>the</strong>r interruptions? If not now, when would be <strong>the</strong><br />
right time? I strongly believe that we Filipinos are open-minded people<br />
and are capable of solving different kinds of problems that come along<br />
our way. We are intelligent enough to equip ourselves with <strong>the</strong> right gear<br />
for <strong>the</strong> right wea<strong>the</strong>r conditions. We can teach <strong>the</strong> young ones on how to<br />
prepare <strong>the</strong>mselves and at <strong>the</strong> same time protect ourselves. And I am<br />
hoping that someday we would be able to catch up with Japan‟s economy.<br />
Who would know if we don‟t give it a try?<br />
Talk to Me<br />
By Pinky T. Agunod, <strong>TVET</strong>-Bread and Pastry Production<br />
What have I learned from <strong>the</strong> m<strong>is</strong>takes that I have done? I<br />
often ask myself <strong>the</strong> same question over and over again. I know<br />
sometimes people around me wanted to ask me “Why did she do<br />
that?” or “Is she crazy?” But <strong>the</strong>y cannot blame me. Sometimes I<br />
w<strong>is</strong>hed <strong>the</strong>y did. As much as I wanted to go back in time, change<br />
my dec<strong>is</strong>ions, and think twice before I speak, I just could not do<br />
that. Every little thing that we did in <strong>the</strong> past <strong>is</strong> already a part of<br />
our h<strong>is</strong>tory. We do not have to regret <strong>the</strong> wrong dec<strong>is</strong>ions that we<br />
have done or <strong>the</strong> things we did to o<strong>the</strong>rs that hurt <strong>the</strong>m. What matters<br />
most <strong>is</strong> that we have learned a thing or two. The people that<br />
surround us might judge or hate us but it won‟t change <strong>the</strong> past.<br />
Life <strong>is</strong> too short so why make it complicated? Do <strong>the</strong> things<br />
that you love. Thank God for all <strong>the</strong> goodness that He has given<br />
you. Share <strong>the</strong> blessings that you have received. Be patient and responsible.<br />
Give importance to all <strong>the</strong> things, small or big. Wake up<br />
each morning with a positive outlook. It won‟t hurt to smile while<br />
walking down <strong>the</strong> street on your way to school or to work. Be<br />
happy that you are given ano<strong>the</strong>r day to share your love to o<strong>the</strong>rs.<br />
Use your abilities and your talents. <strong>La</strong>ugh with your family or<br />
friends while watching your favorite telev<strong>is</strong>ion show. Set your<br />
goals and make a time frame for it. Aim for <strong>the</strong> top spot in <strong>the</strong> ladder<br />
of success without stepping on o<strong>the</strong>r people‟s dreams. Take<br />
one step at a time. Do not jump or fly because you might fall and<br />
you will have a hard time getting back on your feet. You will stumble<br />
a few times, your feet will feel sore, but in <strong>the</strong> end, your hardships<br />
and sacrifices will result to a sweet and worthy success.<br />
People say <strong>the</strong> best things in life are free, but not everyone<br />
believes in th<strong>is</strong>.<br />

Kaibigan<br />
By Janet O. Mardido, 5-A<br />
FIRST TRIMESTER 2011-2012 5<br />
Maraming uri ng kaibigan tayong makikita at<br />
makikilala. Nandiyan yung tipong mapagkakatiwalaan,<br />
mapagbigay, masayang kasama at ang mapagpanggap.<br />
Marami din tayong katawagan sa pagkakaibigan. Maaaring ka-tropa, kaberks,<br />
ka-bagang, s<strong>is</strong>, bro at friendship. Sabi nga ng ilan maaari mo rin<br />
maging tunay na kapamilya ang <strong>is</strong>ang kaibigan sapagkat sa maraming<br />
aspeto mo sila maaasahan. Kung may problema sa pamilya, maari mo<br />
silang lapitan. Maari ding tungkol sa pag-ibig, paghingi ng payo kung<br />
ano ang dapat mong gawin kung may pagmamahal sa <strong>is</strong>ang tao. Sila rin<br />
ay malalapitan sa oras ng kagipitan kung pera ang pag-uusapan.<br />
Ngunit sa <strong>is</strong>ang banda, kaibigan din ang makakapagpahamak sa<br />
iyo: ang mga mapagpanggap na kaibigan. Sila animo ay mga anghel sa<br />
tuwing magkaharap kayo ngunit sa oras naman na nakatalikod na sa inyo<br />
ay kung anu-ano na palang kasiraan ang binabanggit tungkol sayo. Sila<br />
ang mga taong sa oras na ikaw ay may problema ay ang gagawa ng<br />
paraan upang lalo ka pang lumubog sa kumunoy, upang lalong ikaw ay<br />
maligaw ng landas. Saka mo na lang malalaman ang tunay nilang kulay<br />
sa oras na ikaw ay napahamak na dahil iniwan ka nila. Sila ang nakatalikod<br />
sa iyo sa oras ng kagipitan at mag-iiwan sa iyo sa gitna ng<br />
kadiliman.<br />
Ngunit sa kabilang banda, ito naman ay may magandang<br />
maidudulot. Bakit? Sapagkat dito mo makikita ang <strong>is</strong>ang tunay na kaibigan.<br />
Siya ang tipong maiiwan sa iyong tabi, na kahit ikaw ay nasa gitna<br />
ng kadiliman, sasamahan ka hangga‟t kailangan mo siya. Siya ang magaabot<br />
sa iyo ng kanyang kamay upang tulungan ka sa iyong pagkalubog,<br />
aalalay sa iyo upang ikaw ay muling makatayo, at tutulong sa iyo upang<br />
makabangon mula sa pagkakabagsak. Kaya kaibigan sa oras na ikaw ay<br />
makahanap ng totoong kaibigan, ituring mo itong kayamanan. Nararapat<br />
lamang na siya ay tunay mong pahalagahan upang sa bawat pagsubok na<br />
iyong kakaharapin, mayroon sa iyong sasama upang ikaw ay damayan sa<br />
lahat ng bagyong iyong mararanasan. Masasabi mong tunay kang mapalad<br />
kung may darating sa iyo na <strong>is</strong>ang totoong kaibigan. Kung mayroon<br />
kang pagkakataon, yakapin mo siya at sabihin, “Kaibigan, salamat<br />
ng marami.”<br />
What Love Should Be<br />
By Mariam Camille A. Tambio, 5-A<br />
Love should be an inspiration and not d<strong>is</strong>traction because<br />
when love begins to be d<strong>is</strong>traction, you cannot focus on what you<br />
should do. Some things may not also go as planned. It will result to<br />
unhealthy relationship. It means that both of you are not being productive<br />
in your relationship. There might be fight every time you<br />
have d<strong>is</strong>agreements.<br />
If d<strong>is</strong>traction occurs you should choose ano<strong>the</strong>r path as<br />
soon as possible because you will just have a m<strong>is</strong>erable life if you<br />
stay <strong>the</strong>re. There will be times that you are like a robot that will<br />
just follow what ano<strong>the</strong>r person commanded you. Eventually you<br />
will lose your identity. You will be someone you never imagined<br />
you can be. Life <strong>is</strong> a choice and we are given <strong>the</strong> freedom to<br />
choose what we think will make us better persons.<br />
We always say that if you love someone set him free. Th<strong>is</strong><br />
phrase <strong>is</strong> really hard to do. Letting go <strong>is</strong> just like taking away a part<br />
of your life. After spending memorable moments toge<strong>the</strong>r, goodbye<br />
<strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> saddest word to utter. It does not mean that when you let<br />
go of your relationship, you also let go of <strong>the</strong> chances of being<br />
friends. There are times it <strong>is</strong> better to become friends than as couples.<br />
The idea of letting go <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> most painful part in a relationship.<br />
It <strong>is</strong> like being cut into tiny pieces and you do not know when<br />
you will be whole again. Tears may fall but we have to wipe <strong>the</strong>m<br />
and start thinking and doing what we need to do to move forward,<br />
and to live life in <strong>the</strong> future.

Pamilyang <strong>La</strong>salyano, Nagdiriwang ng Sentenaryo<br />
Ni Emil Dean F. Sayson, 5-A<br />
Unang Gantimpala, Pagsulat ng Sanaysay<br />
Linggo ng Wika 2011<br />
Ang pananampalataya ang nagbibigay inspirasyon sa atin, ngunit bago natin<br />
talakayin ang pananampalataya, ano ba ang kahulugan ng pananampalataya para sa<br />
iyo? Ito ba ay daan tungo sa pag-unlad? Ito ba ay sandalan sa panahon ng problema o<br />
kaya naman ay gabay natin sa ating pamumuhay at pagkakabuhay sa mundo?<br />
Iba-iba ang kahulugan ng pananampalataya. Maaaring ang sa tingin ni Juan ay<br />
ganito ang kahulugan ng pananampalataya at ang kay Pedro naman ay ganito ang kahulugan<br />
ng pananampalataya para sa kanya. Ngunit alam ko na sang-ayon kayo kapag<br />
sinasabing Diyos ang papasok sa ating <strong>is</strong>ipan kapag pinag-usapan ang pananampalataya.<br />
Pero tama na nga lang ba na basta ka na lang mananampalataya o dapat mo<br />
rin itong <strong>is</strong>abuhay upang maging ganap ang ating pananampalataya?<br />
Ang pananampalataya ay kaakibat ng pagtitiwala at mahalaga sa buhay ng tao.<br />
Ito ay katulad ng ginagawa nating pananampalataya sa Diyos na kahit na hindi natin<br />
Siya nakikita ay patuloy pa rin tayo sa pananampalataya sa Kanya dahil nagtitiwala<br />
tayo sa Kanya at ipinagkatiwala pa rin natin ang ating buhay. Anuman ang pagsubok<br />
na dumaan sa ating buhay nagtitiwala pa rin tayo dahil matibay ang ating pananampalataya<br />
sa kanya.<br />
Ang paglilingkod ay bahagi ng pananampalataya lalo na kung ang paglilingkod<br />
ay taos-puso at walang hinihintay na anumang kapalit. Pero bakit ka ba naglilingkod<br />
sa iba at kailangan mo pang maglaan ng panahon, pagod, oras, at pera para sa<br />
paglilingkod kahit alam mong hindi sigurado kung ano ang magiging kapalit o kung<br />
meron talagang kapalit? I<strong>is</strong>a lang ang kahulugan niyan, dahil ikaw ay nagtitiwala sa<br />
Diyos at ipinagkatiwala mo ang iyong paglilingkod na iyong ginagawa at ang maaaring<br />
kahihinatnan nito.<br />
Ngayong taon ay nagdiriwang ng ika-100 taon ng pagkakatatag ng <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong><br />
Schools sa Pilipinas at bilang bahagi ng pagdiriwang ng ating sentenaryo, ating <strong>is</strong>abuhay<br />
ang ginawa ng mga <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> Bro<strong>the</strong>rs sa Pilipinas sa pamamagitan ng pagbabahagi<br />
ng kahalagahan ng pananampalataya sa ating buhay at ang sayang naidudulot ng<br />
paglilingkod ng taos-puso at kahit na nasa makabagong panahon na tayo ay magpapatuloy<br />
pa rin ang aral ni San Juan Baut<strong>is</strong>ta De <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> at magiging makabuluhan<br />
ang pagdiriwang ng ating sentenaryo.<br />
Ang <strong>La</strong>salyanong komunidad ay may matibay na pananampalataya at tapat na<br />
paglilingkod sa kapwa. Nawa‟y magpatuloy ito hanggang sa susunod na henerasyon<br />
ng mga <strong>La</strong>salyano. Hanggang sa susunod na pagdiriwang ng ika-100 taon. Patnubayan<br />
nawa tayo ng Amang Lumikha at gabayan tayo ng ating mahal na patron na si<br />

Himig<br />
By Dante C. Gorembalem, 3-A<br />
Ang buhay ay parang araw; sum<strong>is</strong>ikat sa umaga, lumulubog sa hapon. Sa pagsikat<br />
ng araw unti-unting lumiliwanag ang paligid. Dahan-dahan nakikita ang mga<br />
bagay na nasa ating tabi. Ngunit, madalas ay hindi natin ito nabibigyan ng pansin dahil<br />
hindi natin sila kailangan sa oras na iyon. Habang tumatagal ay lalong umiinit at<br />
lumiliwanag ang sinag ng araw. Lumalawak din ang naaabot nito. Kaya naman panatag<br />
ang loob mo kahit mapalayo ka pa sa kanila dahil alam mong may gumagabay sa<br />
iyo. Kasabay sa paglipas ng panahon ay nagbabago rin ang takbo ng lahat. Mapalayo<br />
ka man sa kanila, alam mong sila nga dahil ramdam mo ang kanilang init ng pagaaruga<br />
na ipinadama mo sa kanila. Subalit sa tindi ng iyong pagmamahal minsan ay<br />
nakakapaso na rin dahil sa hindi mo tuwirang pagtingin. Kaya nga ang iba ay nasasakal<br />
na, hindi na lubusang maunawaan ang iyong ginagawa. Kaya ito ang pinagmumulan<br />
ng hindi maipaliwanag na kalagayan.<br />
Ang iyong mga salita ay mahalaga sa kanila. Ito ang nagbibigay gabay sa<br />
kanilang paglaki. Subalit, sa mga salita ninyo rin sila ay napaso at tuluyang nagliliyab<br />
dala na rin ng mga taong nakapaligid sa kanila.<br />
Masakit man <strong>is</strong>ipin subalit iyan ang totoo, sapagkat ang lahat ay may kanyakanyang<br />
na<strong>is</strong>. Bawat <strong>is</strong>a ay iba-iba ang direksyon ng buhay. Sa pagdaan ng madilim<br />
na ulap, kayo ay tuluyang natatakpan at hindi na muling nasilayan pa ang inyong liwanag.<br />
Sadya nga bang ganito ang buhay? Kapag wala na ang taong nagmamalasakit<br />
sa iyo ay saka mo pa lamang mai<strong>is</strong>ip ang lahat ng mga ginagawa nila? Huli na ba ang<br />
lahat para maitama ko ang mali at maipakita ko sa kanila na mahalaga rin sila sa akin?<br />
Sa mga alaala na lang ba nila muli kong makikita at maririnig ang mga himig ng aking<br />
magulang? Ganito pala ang pakiramdam kapag nadapa ka na ikaw rin ang may<br />
kagagawan.<br />

Chaos in Our Home<br />
By Jordon Angelo G. Estrada, 4-A<br />
I always tell my self that if only <strong>the</strong>re would be a camera in our home 24/7, it would<br />
be a perfect reality show because drama never sleeps at home. However, one thing <strong>is</strong> great<br />
about my family: when everything <strong>is</strong> over we would all talk about it and laugh <strong>the</strong> next day.<br />
We never hold grudge against one ano<strong>the</strong>r. We know how to forgive when we‟ve been done<br />
wrong. There would be days when what we only have on <strong>the</strong> table are vegetables from our<br />
relative‟s garden and yet none of us ever complained. My siblings and I never complained<br />
about money, about clothing, or material things. We were always contented with what life<br />
brings us. We know what we can only have and what our parents can give us. We never<br />
wanted something bigger. We hoped for something better. Our parents loved us despite <strong>the</strong><br />
hurt that we gave <strong>the</strong>m. They would always pick us up every time we fall. They would always<br />
do everything for us with all <strong>the</strong>ir might. They always accept us for <strong>the</strong> wrong things<br />
we do. They would always welcome all <strong>the</strong> people that we hold dear like part of <strong>the</strong> family.<br />
They never judged any of us for <strong>the</strong> dec<strong>is</strong>ions that we have made in our life. Despite our differences<br />
and m<strong>is</strong>understandings, we would always laugh toge<strong>the</strong>r about <strong>the</strong> silly things that<br />
we do as a family. We would laugh about <strong>the</strong> way my dad pronounces words and h<strong>is</strong> lack of<br />
teeth, h<strong>is</strong> fear with <strong>the</strong> dent<strong>is</strong>ts, how my bro<strong>the</strong>r wears funny looking pants just to look cool,<br />
how my s<strong>is</strong>ter would construct a funny sentence for her homework, and even how my grand<br />
mo<strong>the</strong>r would get carried away when watching soap operas. Our big old home would look<br />
gloomy from <strong>the</strong> outside, but inside it <strong>is</strong> shining with memories of happiness and hurt. We<br />
treasure all of it as a learning experience not only by one, but as a family.<br />
At one point in my life I thought my parents did a poor job ra<strong>is</strong>ing us. I thought <strong>the</strong>y<br />
have given us too much freedom. I thought that I have <strong>the</strong> worst family anyone could ask for,<br />
but I was wrong. I needed that freedom to learn things on my own, to feel <strong>the</strong> things that are<br />
written only in fairy tale books, and to see <strong>the</strong> world through my eyes not from <strong>the</strong> eyes of<br />
some hero from an epic novel. My parents may have m<strong>is</strong>sed a few shots, but that does not<br />
matter anymore. Being here, alive and slowly knowing what <strong>is</strong> right from wrong makes<br />
things better. Our home would never run out of drama, but no matter how much chaos breaks<br />
free from our house, I will enjoy every second of it. People only get to have one family.<br />
When <strong>the</strong> time comes you and your would go to <strong>the</strong>ir separate ways, you would never get <strong>the</strong><br />
chance to have someone you feel really comfortable with, and you would never have <strong>the</strong><br />
chance to be with someone you would feel at home with. Once you start taking that first step<br />
out of that Welcome door mat, <strong>the</strong>re would be no one that would shield you from <strong>the</strong> world<br />
but your family. It <strong>is</strong> a big world out <strong>the</strong>re, and it <strong>is</strong> almost impossible to find a place like<br />
home where you won‟t be judged by <strong>the</strong> way you look, <strong>the</strong> way you talk, <strong>the</strong> way you think,<br />
<strong>the</strong> way you act, or <strong>the</strong> way you live your life. There are days when my family still makes<br />
me upset because of some things, but <strong>the</strong>n I always tell my self I would have never gone th<strong>is</strong><br />
far without <strong>the</strong>m. That <strong>is</strong> why underneath <strong>the</strong> chaos, I never felt alone in th<strong>is</strong> world because<br />
of my family. It does not matter how much pain you felt in your family, what matters <strong>is</strong> how<br />

Who Stole My Magic?<br />
By Pinky T. Agunod, <strong>TVET</strong>—Bread and Pastry Production<br />
Maybe some of you would recognize <strong>the</strong> title from a chic lit or chic literature. Honestly,<br />
I have never been digging into th<strong>is</strong> book. I just borrowed <strong>the</strong> title for my own little<br />
story. It has been a while since I have written something about anything. Maybe too much<br />
work and too much stress are keeping me busy and away from my own senses. One night after<br />
a very long and rainy day, I realized that maybe I have to find some ways to channel my<br />
stress and do a little writing because that will prevent my brain from being stagnant, numb<br />
and tired of my own self. I know I have been a little self<strong>is</strong>h <strong>the</strong>se days for not giving myself a<br />
little space for relaxation. All I do every single day <strong>is</strong> work. Sometimes I feel so tired and<br />
sleepy. But I am not complaining because th<strong>is</strong> <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> path that I have chosen. Now that I have<br />
given myself <strong>the</strong> opportunity to do something for myself, I will not let anything or anyone<br />
stop me. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath for th<strong>is</strong> <strong>is</strong> one of <strong>the</strong> best days for me and<br />
for my tired senses. The air <strong>is</strong> cold and freezing as I stepped out of my comfort zone. I feel<br />
like I am dreaming, seeing <strong>the</strong> beauty of <strong>the</strong> world underneath my feet. The sky will always<br />
be as wide as I could remember. Someone held my hand and guided me. I never asked any<br />
question because I know when I do, <strong>the</strong> dream would soon be over. I can feel <strong>the</strong> cold water<br />
from <strong>the</strong> tiny drops of rain. I saw a rainbow splashing <strong>the</strong> brightness of its color across <strong>the</strong><br />
sky. The sun <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong>re but it <strong>is</strong> not shining too much. A rabbit jumped in front of us. I know he<br />
loved <strong>the</strong> rainbow as much as I did. I can smell <strong>the</strong> freshness of <strong>the</strong> blooming flowers around<br />
us. I looked around me and saw <strong>the</strong> beauty of <strong>the</strong> tall and luscious fruit bearing trees. It has<br />
been a while since I v<strong>is</strong>ited a place like th<strong>is</strong>. Almost like a piece of heaven on <strong>the</strong> palm of my<br />
hand. How I w<strong>is</strong>hed th<strong>is</strong> breath taking and exqu<strong>is</strong>ite place <strong>is</strong> mine but in reality my little parad<strong>is</strong>e<br />
<strong>is</strong> a part of my dream. I want to cher<strong>is</strong>h <strong>the</strong> moment as long as it <strong>is</strong> free for me.<br />
When I open my eyes everything will be back to reality. I see a busy life waking up<br />
early in <strong>the</strong> morning, having coffee and breakfast at work, talking to <strong>the</strong> people that I work<br />
with everyday, making sure that everything <strong>is</strong> in <strong>the</strong> right place before flipping <strong>the</strong> open/close<br />
signage at <strong>the</strong> door, hoping and w<strong>is</strong>hing that th<strong>is</strong> day will be a good day just like crossing a<br />
hanging bridge when <strong>the</strong> winds are blowing on my direction. I have to keep my balance, stay<br />
focused and alert. Maybe I never lost my magic. Sometimes I thought my magic became so<br />
tired of me and ran away but it never did, just like me it needed a break, a little space to move<br />
and explore <strong>the</strong> real world. It stays inside me, and no one stole my magic.<br />

A Hero Needs a Hero<br />
By J.A. Estrada<br />
Born under <strong>the</strong> luminescent moon<br />
Ano<strong>the</strong>r sparkle in <strong>the</strong> sky<br />
In a world where good and evil dance toge<strong>the</strong>r<br />
As thin as a twig, almost as funny as Chaplin<br />
Bright as <strong>the</strong> sun… I think? They think.<br />
In <strong>the</strong> bloom of spring and autumn,<br />
he was trained<br />
To endure <strong>the</strong> nor<strong>the</strong>rn winds,<br />
Like a mountain he never learned to bow<br />
They thought he can bring light<br />
To <strong>the</strong> darkest depths of <strong>the</strong> night.<br />
He played h<strong>is</strong> part gallant and noble he looked<br />
Armed with <strong>the</strong> fiercest sword, h<strong>is</strong> fragile body<br />
Covered with white and shining armor<br />
Those lost adored him,<br />
those who are left behind<br />
Reached out <strong>the</strong>ir hands to him<br />
Indeed it was complete bl<strong>is</strong>s and happiness<br />
To serve one person at a time,<br />
as <strong>the</strong> world rejoices<br />
Behind <strong>the</strong> shining armor of h<strong>is</strong> being<br />
A weak impostor hero lies,<br />
pain and suffering consumes him<br />
While he <strong>is</strong> saving <strong>the</strong> world,<br />
he can‟t save himself.<br />
Colors of <strong>the</strong> Night<br />
By Gerson D. Franc<strong>is</strong>co, 3-A<br />
All‟s blue and gray<br />
Everything <strong>is</strong> astray<br />
Mad black and dark<br />
But…<br />
Your light and carefree<br />
Innocence colors and <strong>the</strong> night<br />
a rainbow from <strong>the</strong> deepest tone.<br />
Classroom<br />
By Dante C. Gorembalem, 3-A<br />
We came with nothing<br />
A <strong>new</strong> challenge <strong>is</strong> waiting<br />
Ano<strong>the</strong>r world will begin<br />
To somebody who wants to learn<br />
That surely will remain.<br />
Many faces and attitude reveal<br />
Tensions and emotions rebuild<br />
Teachers and staff become busy<br />
So students, don‟t be lazy and busy buddy!<br />
Their sacrifices are for everybody.<br />
Do you know a place like th<strong>is</strong>?<br />
Such a small treat that brings <strong>the</strong> best!<br />
Spending time here will not be a waste<br />
Developing and mastering our potentials<br />
Will open a <strong>new</strong> chapter in our lives<br />
and give us good credentials<br />
In <strong>the</strong> classroom, nothing <strong>is</strong> impossible<br />
Creating <strong>new</strong> skills <strong>is</strong> possible<br />
The lecture we hear <strong>is</strong> all knowledgeable<br />
Be pro active, alert,<br />
and avoid being unreasonable<br />
They‟re preparing us to face <strong>the</strong> reality of battle<br />
that <strong>is</strong> not questionable.
