EDSA PEOPLE POWER REVOLUTION

         

        Of course, who will forget this historic EDSA People Power Revolution? All of the Filipinos will never forget this moment wherein young and old people walk hand in hand. They were crying and praying for democracy to succeed in our country. It was the day that Filipinos gathered with faith, unity and courage for freedom. It was the power of the people that ended Marcos administration. It was the true power of democracy. This revolution even stunned the world. We were widely-praised and supported by them.

            Now, we celebrate the 25^th Anniversary of the EDSA Revolution. We should thank the “heroes of EDSA” especially Cory and Ninoy Aquino. They were the one who led the country back to freedom and justice. Let us do our best in not bringing back dictatorship in the Philippines. We should be proud of what they did. Many risked their lives and we should never forget them. Thus, in the 25^th anniversary, let us reminisce what our fellow countrymen fought before. Let us now bring back the true essence of EDSA People Power Revolution.

VALENTINE'S DAY FOR ME

        Typically, Valentine’s Day is the time wherein couples celebrate their love for each other. Boys usually give girls, flowers, cakes, balloons, cards, letters, or any gift from their hearts. Some pairs even go to malls or parks when this day comes. So, what is Valentine’s Day for you?

        Love is really in the air if this day comes but for me, Valentine’s Day is just an ordinary day. I really don’t have a crush, a sweetheart, or a boyfriend so it is truly a normal day. There is really nothing to be busy with that day for I’ll not give someone a special valentine gift.

        One instance, someone gave my classmate a gift. I was really happy for her and I even felt thrilled. I was even shouting that time and I don’t know why. On that day, I am not expecting to receive a gift from someone. But if ever I received something, well, I should be thankful. After all, it was just an ordinary day.

Dear Ma’am May,

             I want to say that I am really grateful for having you as my teacher and also as my friend. You could readily give very inspiring advices to the class. Those words of mouth from you could really help us. There were times that you are strict but in some other time, I do feel that you’re already one of my friends.  I really love your funny jokes. Even though you’re not really cracking jokes, you could make me laugh instantly. You do have a good sense of humor. You even let me experience many new things especially those about speech and theater. Those activities like declamation, oration, jazz chant, pantomime, plays and many more helped me in becoming a better person. At least, I experienced bits of those things all because of you. Thanks for all the memories I shared with you.    

                                                                                                                                              Sincerely yours,

                    Celine 

PANTOMIME LESSONS

               

            Doing a pantomime was really a great experience for me. I really enjoyed our pantomime even though I just have minor roles. I became a lampshade, a tissue holder, a street lamp, a curtain and a part of the poor family. After our presentation, we were really happy. I was ready to hear the comments of Ma’am May.

                She said that our pantomime was a disaster. The movements of the major characters are exaggerated. But they were able to give justice to the roles that they portrayed. She said that it was really funny but it did not achieve the true meaning of a pantomime. She said that all of us are like Mr. Bean because we looked stupid especially Iris. Ma’am feels uncomfortable with how an innocent girl like Iris dances. She didn’t understand the essence of the bar girls that were meant for the transitions. It was really funny because it is the natural class; it’s III-Nitrogen. She said that if ever our pantomime will be picked for the culminating activity, audiences will never understand it unless they read the synopsis. In a pantomime, there should be few and exact movements, hand gestures and face expressions so that audiences would be able to understand it. Her advice was to change the piece because the story is really tragic but we made it humorous. For me, it’s just okay. Even though we looked stupid, at least, we enjoyed.

WORDS FROM THE PRIEST

               Even though I usually go to church every Sunday with my family, most of the time, I don’t listen to the homily of the priest. For the reason that sometimes I am sleepy and I’m not in the mood to listen. But I’m really sorry for behaving that way. One Sunday morning, I attended the Sunday mass and I was really interested. The priest was really good and I enjoyed listening to his homily. The priest’s homily goes somewhat like this.

                Usually, we feel empty because we have nothing to eat, drink, etc. Often, we feel empty if we don’t have wealth or money. In return, we really feel happy when we have all those things. But happiness by these material things is just temporary. Sooner or later, it will immediately fly away. So, only God can fill up the emptiness that we experience in our lives. Total happiness, peace and joy can be given by God only. As states in the beatitudes in the Bible, blessed are those who mourn, the peacemakers, the pure in hearts, etc. we are blessed because God is with us. The priest even said that if ever someone asked you “How are you?” answer I’m blessed, instead of I’m fine.

The priest also told a story of a clam. There came a time that a strong storm passed. The clam was covered with sand and its heart was bleeding. Then God said, just wait. The clam waited until it developed a beautiful pearl. The pearl was the prize for believing in God. The clam is just like people. Problems come to our lives and may hurt our heart. But if God will be the center of our hearts, family and mind, we will always be lucky and happy. That is the pearl; the prize. So, God should be the control of our life. We should live the Sunday Eucharist. Let us be together for Him.

LESSONS LEARNED

INFORMAL THEME #2

BLOG #2

The three major values and lessons I learned from Ma’am May are the following:

a.     Friendship.

It really takes time to build trust with someone. Once you broke that trust, sometimes it will never be back again. But through some difficult measures, you could gain it again. She said that our relationship with our classmates is merely companionship. We stay together in laughing matters especially in corny jokes. We are together in going to the canteen and any other places. We are just companions but I still feel that it is friendship.

b.      Confidence and Organization

Last Girl Scout Camping was a really great experience for me. She was a highly organized person. All the thing or documents for the Girl Scouts are inside a portfolio. Even the orienteering was organized. Before the camp, many preparations were needed to make. I was assigned to stage designing. I have to work with Mrs. de Luna. My duty was to talk to many teachers and other persons involved. I was not comfortable with that for I’m usually shy. But I need to, so I learned to be more confident. One instance also is when we performed for the campfire, I need to be confident and it was successful.

c.    Decisions

When making decisions, we should really think for it and the consequences it will create. When we will have wrong decisions, there will be great consequences. I already experienced this. Lately, we backed out for joining the Science Camp. There were some consequences. But she still understood our part and forgave us. I’m really thankful to her. She truly has a good heart. This is one great lesson I learned from her. THANKS A LOT MA'AM MAY...
