You gave a meaningful life to me

That I share with my friends and family

 You let me experience things with joy

Even if sometimes I am coy

You sacrificed your life for us

We should glorify You, it’s a must

I’ll give you love that will forever last

I’ll do my purpose but not that fast

Jesus, thank you for your undying love

What a great and wonderful friend I have

 Because You’re there in times that I sob

You’re so glorious in the heavens above

Thanks for helping me overcome temptations

Please help me control my wrong motions

I’m so sorry for giving you not much attention

 Now, being in your loving hands, it is my passion

RUN FOR A CHANGE

          God provided the Philippines with different natural resources and lots of wonders that we should be proud of. All we have to do is take care of it. But nowadays, our environment really suffers. Almost all of us, Filipinos, throw our garbage anywhere and everywhere we want. Whether they are plastics, candy wrappers, plastic bottles, banana peelings or anything, it is our entire fault. So, what can we do to help in keeping our environment clean? It can be in any simple way we want.

          The Pasig River was an important means of transportation. But with industrialization and urbanization, the river lost its beauty. Now, the biggest race in the country, Run for Pasig River, that will be held this Sunday (October 10, 2010)wants to keep our Pasig River clean. It also aims to have 120,000 registered runners to beat the Guinness World Record held by a race in San Francisco, United States. This project may have participants from various parts of the society, like students, government officials and employees, actors and actresses, and other concerned individuals.

           In fact, my sister who is studying at Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP) will join this big event. She and her classmates are required by their professors but they really want to help Pasig River. I really wish that I could join that race. I want to help raise funds to restore the beauty of the Pasig River. It is every Filipino’s responsibility to keep it clean and alive. This run for a change is only a part of our commitment to the environment.

LIVING WITH PURPOSE

          
            All of us here need to live with a purpose, simply because it gives meaning and simplifies our life. Having a meaningful life may lead to hope and success that you could really treasure up to eternity. Also, having hope is having a purpose. Because if you are hopeless, you can’t do your purpose and you really will not survive the temptations of life. Knowing your purpose can simply help you know what to do and what not to do. You can decide well and use your time well. Sometimes people don’t know yet their purpose in life so they might do much or do less. But I think that this is bad because maybe it can cause stress, depression and many more problems.

            Without a clear purpose, you can’t concentrate your efforts and you will keep changing your directions. You become more successful when you focus you life to something. Thus, you should do only what matters most. You shouldn’t do all but try your very best. When I was still a child, I really don’t know what my purpose is and I don’t know where  am I headed to. But as time passes by with the wonderful experiences that I’ve been through for almost 14 years of my life, I’m starting to know my purpose. I should study hard to have a good job and of course, I want to focus my life with God. Even though, I experienced fear, peer pressure, stress and other stuffs like that, I know that I’ll be alright because God is beside me.

" MY TEACHER, MY HERO"

Teachers in the globe are really industrious

even if they are not that well-known or famous

They teach us English, Science, and other subjects

They give us lots of quizzes, homeworks,  and projects

Teachers serve as our second parents in our school 

Some are strict and serious, but some are kind and cool

They provide us inspirational advices

They even share their personal experiences

I admire them for their achievements and nature

I really thank them for making us more mature

I'm giving gratitude for sharing their knowledge

I know that this can help for my studies in college 

For me, you are really a hero, my teacher

Even if you don't have strength and superpower

You serve as my leader, my mother and my friend

Teacher, I will not forget you up to the end

HOW DO I LOVE THEE?

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with a passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, --- I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! --- and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

At first, Elizabeth Browning states how many ways she loves. But the number of ways she loves is really numerous. She loves Robert from every dimension of her whole being and up to where her soul can reach. Her love is on the same level of our everyday’s basic needs like food, shelter and water. She loves freely like mankind striving for justice and fairness. She loves him with the enthusiasm or desires she used from her old sufferings when she was a child. The love for him is her reason to live, to be happy, and to survive. She even said that death makes her love him better. She was willing to give her life to God and promised that her love to Robert will stay eternally.

The poem “How Do I Love Thee?” of Elizabeth Barrett Browning was very romantic and heartfelt. The theme was the intense love for her husband who is Robert Browning. The poem was not that simple but it really expressed LOVE.

FRIENDS ARE FOREVER…

“ Life is full of people who will make you laugh, cry, smile, until your face hurts, and so happy that you think you’ll burst. But the ones who leave their footprints on your soul are the ones that keep your life going ”. This quotation just proved that friends are really significant part of our life. What is the meaning of friendship for you? Do you count your friends as your family? Do you treasure the days spent together with a friend of yours?

          Friends are necessities of our life. They are the ones beside you in times when you had big problems and even in good times that you are having fun. They are the ones who you can trust and share your secrets. They believe in our dreams and even help us attain them. They also forgive our mistakes and even advice us the right things to do in times of trouble. To be a friend and to have a friend that is open and natural is already a great blessing from Him. Sometimes you don’t have to say anything to cheer up your friend. All you have to do is to be there. I can say that friends are like the sun coming up each morning, they’re the ones who you can count on to warm your world and brighten your life.

          There are many things that you can have fun with your friends. Try a new dish together while eating from the same plate or take a walk together with your pets for more pleasure. Why not buy two identical items  you can wear that will surely remind you of your friend, like a friendship bracelet or even a shirt. Save up for a real treat and try out the craziest things. Or tear a money into two, keep one half and give the other half to your friend, that will jog your memory that you’ll be friends forever. These are just some fun ideas to do together. But it can be in any simple way as long as you’re still enjoying the company of each other.

          I really hope that my friends will be with me forever and I thank the Lord each day for having them in my life. So now, speak your appreciation for your friends. You don’t know when your life ends ‘coz life is short. Tell them how special they are to you…NOW
