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 />

of Student Council joined<br />

<strong>the</strong> <strong>Green</strong> Link that was held in<br />

By Jacqueline B. Jacinto, 4-A<br />

San Juan City.<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 />

rev<strong>is</strong>ion of <strong>the</strong> v<strong>is</strong>ion, m<strong>is</strong>sion,<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 />

The classes toge<strong>the</strong>r<br />

with <strong>the</strong>ir homeroom adv<strong>is</strong>ers/<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 />

and Mr. Noel Que (First<br />

Place), 3A and M<strong>is</strong>s Bernadette<br />

and Mrs. Rosemarie Katipunan<br />

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

By Lorela V. Talingting, 5-A<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.

ang tungkol dito mula sa<br />

dalawa niyang kaibigan na nag<br />

-aaral din dito dati. Dahil dito,<br />

muli siyang nagbalik sa pagaaral.<br />

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 />

at sa gabi naman ay<br />

nag-aaral, at pag-uwi bago pa<br />

man makapag-pahinga,<br />

kailangan munang magbalik<br />

aral sa mga asignatura at<br />

gawin ang mga takdang aralin.<br />

Dahil sa sipag at tiyaga nakapagtapos<br />

siya ng hayskul. Nagtuloy<br />

FIRST TRIMESTER 2011-2012 4<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 />

you overcome that pain or hardship and turn it all around as a family.<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.
