Enjoying Life to the Fullest

Iba ang pakiramdam. Palagi naman kaming umuuwi sa Bagong Abre , pero this time, iba ang pakiramdam. Plano na talaga naming umuwi, kaso may deliberation pa kami kaya na-postpone muna. Pagkatapos ng deliberation— grabe ang saya sa resulta! Todo update sa group message, Facebook, Twitter, at PEX — lahat ng kamag-anak at close friends, agad naming nabalitaan! Whaaaaah! Tapos bigla na lang akong nag-logout—kahit may ka-chat pa—hindi na nagpaalam. 😅 Pumunta kami sa Embarcadero para i-celebrate ang birthday ni Bing . Habang nando’n, naisip ni Papa na dumaan na kina Daddy para ibalita rin ang magandang resulta. Kaya ayun, nagpahatid kami pauwi. Pagdating doon, ibang-iba: Walang cable Walang internet Mahina ang signal ng Smart at Globe Pero kahit walang cable, may mga palabas pa rin namang mapapanood. Kahit mahina ang signal, nakakatext pa rin kahit papaano. May computer nga, pero walang internet. 😅 Pero ang daming pagkain—hindi talaga ako nagutom! Habang nandoon...

 First of all, I would like to thank the Almighty God for guiding me through all these things, and see I survived and also to the persons who were there for me to surpass all the difficulties: our Physics teacher, Ms. Gloria Hate for making this subject easy; my classmates, for they did not make some noise during the period and because of it I was able to understand all the lessons; to all those who had been my group mates in the activities for having that “cooperation and camaraderie” among us; and to all those who asked help from me in solving some problems regarding the lessons, the assignments and also to understand the lesson clearly, thank you for your trust. You made me believe in myself.  I am sad to part ways with you my dear classmates, for those who had been my classmates for 11 years, to those who had been my classmates for four years and to who had been my classmates just this year, thank you for being part of my life. One month from now, we will leave the classro...

Somewhere in Milaor, Camarines Sur, there lived a fourth grader boy who would follow this route to school everyday: He has to cross the rugged plains and cross the dangerous highway where vehicles are recklessly driving to and from. Once past this highway, the boy would take a short cut, passing by the Church every morning just to say Hi to God, and faithfully say his, "Magandang umaga po" in Bicol dialect. He was faithfully being watched by a Priest who was happy to find innocence so uplifting in the morning, "Kamusta, Andoy? Papasok ka na?" "Opo padre ... "he would flash his innocent grin, the priest would be touched. He was so concerned that one day he talked to Andoy. "From school...", he advised "Do not cross the highway, you can pass through the Church and I can accompany you to the other side of the road...that way I can see that you are home safe...." ... "Thank you father ... " "Why don't you go home ... why ...

Dalaginding Bata pa kung kami'y ituring, mga musmos, ani nga nila. Ngunit, sa edad o estado ng buhay naming ito dumarating ang mga una.Unang pag-ibig, ang pinakamahalagan una ng isang kabataan. Maraming pagkakataon na pinagsasabihan kaming huwag muna dahil kami ay bata pa at atupagin na lamang ang pag-aaral.Kung kaya't ang mga kabataan ngayon ay tinatago na lamang sa magulang ang nararamdaman. Sa paaralan karaniwang natatagpuan ang unang pag-ibig.Hayskul, para mas eksakto. Maraming susubok manligaw. Nasa babae na lang yun kung paano niya ito kikilalanin. May mga madaling makuha at may mga mahirap din mapasagot. Nasa lalaki din yun kung ano  ang ugali niya.

My 29 th  Birthday By: Sarah Mae M. Nuñez              It’s my special day, my 29 th  birthday. It was eighteen years after our High School Graduation and now I’m celebrating it my friends. As I watch them enjoying the party, I’ve reminisce the things that happened before my birthday.               It was June 23, 2023, one month before my birthday. I’m planning to have a party with my friends. I called  Jussel Cañada  to help me organize this. I know it will be successful. We’ve been partners in matters like this. Krrng…Krrng…Jus spoke, “Seraaaaah!” He missed me I know. “Hey Jus”, I answered. “Can you please help me organize my birthday party?” There was silence for few seconds, maybe he was thinking. He answered and said, “Sure! After this, I’ll call Vanch. I’ll ask her if we’ll be accomodated in her hotel.” “Vanch?!  Vanneza Armero ??? Hmm...
