Wanderers of the World

   We were only informed a day before on what to bring this Rovers/Roverettes Vigil. It's really a bad thing for us because we'll let our parents panic again to find weird stuffs to bring in this camping specifically, the thumb stick. No ones perfect, I guess. I want to inculcate in my mind that Ma'am Mylene has bunch of things to do and she's in the state of craziness so that I can understand why she called for a meeting for this camping only a day before.

   I went home to prepare the things I need for the camping and immediately went back to school. Honestly, I'm not excited for this camp. After the seat works, long quizzes, and recitations, now what? Give me a break! The first semester of my Junior year was a highway to hell. Most of the subjects are so hard to understand. Well, that's for me. I need to rest.

   If it is not required I would probably sleep early in an air-conditioned room. Going back to what the blog must contain, the vigil was also attended by different schools within Cavite. I want to go home so I didn't care so much about their names. We were grouped with more than a dozen of members for the upcoming talks and group presentations. We learned some new stuffs about the large society of Rover Scouts. We learned as well their objectives for the community and for the world. We learned how these vices greatly affect mankind. I learned that no matter how the country stood hopeless because of it, the Rover Scouts are ready to participate in resolving these problems.

   After the orientation and the seminars, we were blindfolded and I don't know what to expect. Later on, the Seniors, who already graduated as Rover Scouts, ordered to remove our blindfolds and answer the questions printed on a sheet of paper. I don't know how would I say this but I was slightly struck by my conscience of the wrong things I have done.

   Several videos about our parents were shown. I was kinda immune to those videos since I already realized how my parents loved me so much and how I must supposed to give it back to them. Yes, realization took place but action was moving so slow. There were a few practices before giving us the neckerchief which symbolizes Rover Scouts. With the long-time Rover Scout's blessing, I am now a Rover Scout.

    

Myself: the Cradle of Cramming

   It was Friday, the last day of the first semester when all said their good byes to their friends. Everyone is excited about semestral break. It's so obvious that everyone was so glad to hear it because for sure this one week vacation is the time for us to have some fun.

   Oh please! Once I got home, changed my clothes, ate dinner, brushed my teeth and had a shower, I looked at my to-do list to plan further where and when to start to do these things. I was so shocked that I have lot of things to do. This would be another don't-waste-your-time task. This vacation is more appropriate to be called "semestral wish-me-luck break".

   Saturday and Sunday morning - I spent my whole day in front of the computer and I confess that that day was so unproductive. It didn't bother my conscience because in my mind, I still have one row of days ahead to do what I need to do. Days passed and I remained unproductive and the progression of the things I need to do was so slow and almost stationary. Now, I started to panic. It's my habit and I thank God that I always finish my works to be done. I don't know if I have the right to talk to God about this because laziness is considered a sin. I started to do it Wednesday morning and once in a while, I check my facebook account so I ended up again using the computer the whole day. Thursday and Friday was a little productive day. I'm done with some subjects because I concentrated to it. The last weekend of the semestral break was the kick-off to my cramming habit. We still need to fetch my parents from the airport last Sunday night. So I brought my notebooks and textbooks in the airport to finish it.

   Right now this vacation is about to end and I'm still in the middle of cramming. I hope I'm lucky that after this day, I can accomplish these homeworks and other stuffs to do. Fin.

Now who's next?

   The whole human race doesn't know what's beneath this thing. Not so important to talk about yet we'll all walk through it. Weird but still I think it's true, some of us experienced this for a couple of minute or so. Most of their stories tries to portray great light amidst too much darkness. It is so hard to explain and so impossible to foresee. Indeed it is such a thick haze to unravel this world next to us. It suddenly popped out in my mind that what of time comes we need to navigate our lives to this world. Will you be ready for it?

   Death it is. It defines itself in two ways. Firstly, the majority of man's perception: the last episode of life. Whenever we talk about death, we rapidly think about what we have in this temporary world. We worry about our family and our friends. Or maybe our material belongings which will be wasted once we die. Often we sight sadness for we will leave them behind. Whatever your reason is to stay with them, you have to die. Yes, you HAVE to die.

   Starting point - death's defintion of optimism. For me, it would be so difficult to leave someone behind. But to my opinion, once we die, as if God wants to say, "It's time for you to rest." Ever felt how God is great to us once we die? We skip problems - our debts, personal shortcomings. Please don't think that I'm crazy. I'm just trying to make you less pessimistic about death. Because we do not have to worry. For whatever is left undone, God will make a way. God will help us on whatever is beyond our reach. Smile, death is something not to be scared of. (I know what you are thinking, I'm scared of death as well :D)

   Let me share a song to you. It's a song about what you wish to do when you're still alive. Waste no time today. For death is always a surprise. Our life is a short tick-of-a-clock away from it.

Please watch and listen. I'm begging. HAHA. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFY3tmW9qD4&feature=related

   

The Facebook Era

  It all started with Friendster, followed by Multiply and MySpace. But the latest social-networking website attracted all walks of life. Name it, it's Facebook. All of us witnessed the addicting features of Facebook. We can connect to almost everyone. We can chat, leave a comment, tag friends, post videos, and a whole lot more. But the famous quotation of Filipinos implies something. Ang lahat ng sobra ay nakasasama.

   I am one of the Facebook-user who is greatly affected. Though I have lot of school works to do, I can't resist to open my account and look for notifications and the latest news about my friends. So I always end up sleeping late and gaining a lot of eyebags. The next day, it was a tough one. I feel so sleepy at every class. I failed to listen to my teacher's introduction to our new lesson. As a result, I can't answer their questions. I went home depressed.

   I promised myself that night to minimize being active in Facebook. Before I turn on my computer, I made it sure that all my homeworks are done so I am not always in a hurry. Few weeks passed and I saw the result. It was awesome. I participate well in class. I have free time to have fun with my friends wherein unlike before, I seldom have blissful moments with them due to cramming.

   Discipline is a must. This is the most important thing when it comes to crisis. Learn to restrain yourself from something that is unnecessary. Prioritize meaningful things and never waste your time. 

   

Anger doesn't bother Him.

   Ever experienced having an annoying classmate who makes your day plunge into anger? The worst thing is, he/she doesn't know that you are irritated to him/her. You are busy doing something and suddenly he/she will suddenly pop out from nowhere to talk to you about the things both of you are interested yet you're not interested talking to him/her. I don't even know how to settle this things straight.

   I had one terrible experience together with this annoying man named "Rolando". The name even sounds annoying right? No, that is not his true name. Let's respect his privacy. Moving on, it was a day of fun yet his face seems to shatter what he sees. He really messed up my whole day. The wind blew hard as I heard him say "Oh come on, time's up. It was an easy test." Because I was so flustered with so much anger, I didn't finish my exam and I immediately passed the paper. I want to scream so hard but I'm weak in saying my feelings or opinion to someone. Yet he didn't even know that we are all upset to him. The day ended to him so innocent about the fouls he done.

  Still, God said to love our enemies. The greatest irony in life! I bet I can count within my fingers those people. But the right thing must be done. Let's all dig into our hearts patience and understanding. We don't know why they act like that. There are factors can affect a person's attitude. It can be either about his family or in his previous friends.

   Understand and all will follow after. That's life. 

   

When Rain Starts to Pour

   Cavite National Science High School is one heck of a ride. There are so many things to do. Non-stop homeworks arrive everyday. Projects were given either a month or a week before the deadline but I am one of the students who still crams due to the floods of tasks to do even during weekends. Yes, I'm always in a hurry. But when we start to think, we have a choice to quit this school right? Then why still suffer?

   We all have goals in life. We choose to take various paths. Our beliefs and opinions take us to these roads. We, CavScians, chose to enter this institution because we want to be successful someday. During our elementary days, W\we hear hearsays that this school furnished such intelligent students that even competed outside the country. Admit it, we like to be one of them. Bagging these awards and medals that was achieved by CNSHSians is a big deal to all of us. We want to prove something. 

   Choice always has two faces. It is either to grab the chance or miss the opportunity. I guess you know the answer to your question. We keep on striving hard almost up to our limits because we want to achieve something. As our parents say, this school is our stepping-stone towards the limelight of life. Personally, I still eager to keep my grades within the standards. For when tomorrow comes and the rain starts to pour, I'm geared-up with the greatest thing in life, experience.
