The Kingdom of God

The Kingdom of God is a task, it never closes its doors, but it is a gift to discover and it is left open to everyone. It is the most important!!

My Talumpati: Kasalanan ng isa, Kasalanan ba ng lahat?

Mga Kababayan ko, nandito ako ngayon sa inyong harapan upang bigyang halaga ang pagiging Pilipino ko. Bago ko po sisimulan ang Talumpati, gusto ko po munang sabihin sa inyo na ipinagmamalaki ko ang pagiging Pilipino kahit na tayo ay may hinaharap na problema at yun ay ang pagmamalupit ngayon sa atin lalong-lalo na ng mga dayuhan dahil sa kontrobersyal na Hostage Taking sa Maynila noong Agosto 23.
Ang pagiging Pilipino ay isang dangal dahil marami tayong kababayan na hinahangaan ng lahat ng tao sa mundo. Kagaya na lamang nina: Charice, Manny Pacquiao, Arnel Pineda, at Lea Salonga. Sila ang ilan sa mga Pilipinong hinahangaan ng mga dayuhan. Pero.., bakit ngayon ay galit na galit sila sa atin? Dahil nga ba iyon sa kasalanan ng isang Pilipino, at nadamay lang tayo? Tayong mga Pilipino ay isang maunawaing tao. Isang halimbawa ng ating pagkaunawa sa mga nagkasala sa atin ay ang pag-lead poisoning at melamine contaminaton na ginawa ng mga Chinese atin. Per.., bakit nga ba hindi tayo na galit sa kanila ng sobrang sobra sa halos daan daang mga tao sa mundo ang namatay at pinahirapan nila at kaagad natin silang napatawad sa lalong madaling panahon? Pero.., sa kaso natin, ba't hindi nila tayo mapatawad sa na walo lang naman yung namatay?
Sabi nila noon, tayong mga Pilipino ay mapagmahal, masipag, matiyaga, maunawain at matulunging tao. Pero ngayon binawai nila sa atin yung ugaling iyon dahil sa nangyaring Hostage Taking sa Maynila. Patunayan natin sa kanila ngayon, na tayong mga Pilipino ay mapagmahal, masipag, matiyaga, at matulunging tao hanggang ngayon.
Mga kababayan ko, hindi pa huli ang lahat. May magagawa pa tayo upang maisalba ang tiwala sa atin ng mga dayuhan. Basta tatandaan lang natin na ang pagiging Pilipino ay isang biyaya ng Diyos sa atin dahil nilikha niya tayong lahat lalong- lalo na ang mga Pilipino dahil alam niya na marunong tayo magpatawad sa mga nagkasala sa atin ay mayoon tayong "Pusong Mamon".
Bago ko po tatapusin ang aking pagtatalumpati, iiwanan ko po kayo ng dalawang salawikain na nagsasabi: "Ang hindi marunong magmahal sa sariling wika ay mahigit pa sa mabaho at malansanag isda." Pangalawa, "Ang taong di marunong magmahal sa sariling wika, lumaki sa ibang bansa."
Kaya, kayong lahat na nandito ngayon, hinahamon ko kayo, Pilipino ka ba talaga? Isigaw niyo sa buong mundo na totoong pilipino kayo. Huwag ipagkahiya ang pagiging Pilipino mo. Maging isang mabuting ehemplo sa kapwa. Mahalin at maging tapat sa ating bandila upang mapatunayan natin sa iba na kahit anong isyo ang ibabato sa ating mga Pilipino, hindi pa rin mawawala sa ating puso at isipan ang pgiging tunay na Pilipino.

Salamat!!

The Life of St. Marie Eugenie

Anne Eugenie Milleret de Brou was born in Metz, France, on 26 August 1817. Her father was a banker. Her mother's example of a virtuous life marked her deeply. On Christmas Day 1829, she received her First Communion during which she experienced a "first call from God" In 1836, listening to Fr. Lacordaire at Notre Dame in Paris, she said, "I was truly converted". In 1837, she met Fr. Combalot at the dreamt of founding a congregation deedicated to Our Lady Of the Assumption. He chose Anne Eugenie to start it. She wanted an education for the young that would form their whole being in Christ. In 30 April 1839, two young women founded the first Assumption Community. "Our spirituality is our most precious possession.. Jesus Christ, the King of eternity, living in us and in His Church, the extension of His Kingdom in us and in the world, a great spirit of prayer, a certain liberty of spirit, a community spirit and a fraternal love, a style of education that flows from our contemplative life". The Religious of the Assumption are educators attentive to the needs of the times and of the Church. She was beatified in Rome on 9February 1975 by Pope Paul VI and canonized in Rome on 3 June 2007 by Pope Benedict XVI.

Florante at Laura..(C.A.F)

Whose gonna be our Florante? Whose gonna be our Laura? This is the common questions that our classmates are asking almost everyday. Our classmate Yanny doesn't want to be our Florante because she said: "Indi ko subong type ah!". So, when we knew this we were all panicking because she is our only hope. She said she wanted to be in the character of Alladin. Well, we have decided that our Florante would be Celine and our Laura would maybe be Louise. This upcoming CAF playfest we wanted that we would win in this year's CAF play. If we really want to win then, we should work hand in hand so that we can reach our goal.

Boredom Hits!!..

Today its Saturday! I have nothing to do!.. Earlier this morning, My dad and I went to Mandurriao where you can locate the so called "Basurahan sa Mandurriao". I took a picture their because my partner and I decided to take a picture with that "basurahan" because its so interestng and we will post it in our Journalism Project.
OMG! I don't have nothing to do!! Well, I don't want to memorize now my Desiderata because I don't want too. I'm really really bored!!

Talumpati+Desiderata!!

First of all, TGIF!!. Well, it's hard to imagine that all second year learners are memorizing their Talumpati and at the same time their Desiderata! This two activities will happen already next week! Oh no! At last! I had already memorized my Talumpati, but for the Desiderata, I am now memorizing it and I'm confuse what to say because I need to focus on the English Languages but what's in my mind is my Talumpati and it is in Filipino Languages. Well.., this is for now I still need to print my other copy of the poem Desiderata.

PLAY FEST IS COMING!!!..

Well.., this is my second time around to witness a play presentation by other sections and year level. Now, that I'm in second year, our CAF play presentation is all about Florante at Laura. While, on our CAE play presentation, we haven't decided yet but we have many proposals that were presented to us this morning during our CAE class. I hope and pray that this upcoming play presentation, we would cooperate and would help each other in reaching our dreams to be the winner on both of our subjects namely, CAF and CAE.

SOCCER GAME!!..

This afternoon, we played soccer at our P.E. class. Actually it is so tiring and at the same time it was fun!!!! Tired because I'm the catcher at our group and you should be focus so that whenever your oponent would use the term "sacrifice" you should immediately catch the ball and throw it to the pitcher so that she can tag the person who is running for the next base. Funny because some of our groupmates are so crazy that they just keep on laughing while kicking the ball so that's why they can't always hit the ball. We were laughing because one example was that Jacque went on the first base and she wasn't able to control herself and she accidentally jump on Marion's body and they were'nt able to go-up immediately. After our game we were the loser and Ryahh's team won for the scores of 5 and 10.
