"STAY"

I remember that you told me before; "Why dont you try to know me, More than you just think about me." Then now I say; " How can I know you more, If you're closing your doors everytime I attempt to come in?."You always told me that you love me and I always felt grateful when you're expressing how much I mean for you. But when you ask me If I feel the same, Like what you've felt for me. There are no replies coming from my mouth. In spite, the silence that means a lot for me.No, It's not that I'm numb. You know deep in my heart there is a hidden word that I want to tell you.It is just; I don't know how to show it and I'm too scared to bear with my emotions. I know that maybe sometime you will be weary in waiting for someone that is for nothing...But if only you can read my mind and understand my actions, you will know everything in me.I supposed to pretend because I thought It will be smoother that way. But I was wrong. I admit that I was so sensible in my life. But I felt so stupid listening to my mind and forgot that I have a heart too. Now that every tick-tack of the clock counts. If only I could turn back the time and start it all over again, I promise I will. But you started making your steps away from me. I hesitate, Is this really goodbye?or can I beg you to stay for a while?...

"THIS IS THE LAST TIME...''

You Never realize how much you love someone until they're gone...
You never realize once their love surrounded by you. But now, what do yo have?Memories.
Why does love hurt so much when it supposed to be a good thing?Why do we dwell on the past, When the future is what matters? It is something that I guess can't helped but, Maybe its harder for you then it is for someone else. Faint smells of cologne, a song on the radio, a movie or a single word.These are the things that brings back those memories. But, you can't hide from these things,because,they're there. No matter how hard you try to,they'll always be there.Love can not be forgotten, No matter how hard we try and how much we think it will ease the pain, It will always be there, forever. Unfair right?...
The loneliest it gets, is when the wind begins to chill and when I stand on the top of the old street where we always walked together, the church that brings stillness to me. And I can't think of anything I'd rather do then have my heart broken by you. Could we be saved by intentions and hopes?. Because, I'm not alright. The nights seem to swallow me whole and spit me out. I remember ever since the days you made me laughed and i've always wanted you in the worst way. And now, I can't compete. Isn't its time to get it right?
I'd like to know whats going on; I started a million letters to you, But i couldn't finish any of them.
we have said Good-bye so many times before. But somehow, we our paths always manage to cross and ended up in each others arms. But when we said this good bye, I have the feeling that i will never see you again.It really hurts because I know that we are meant to lead our own seperate lives. And I honestly don't want to cross your path in the future because I dont want these feeling to come back and to try to get over it all over again...
As I look back on all that happened-growing up, growing together,changing you, changing me--There were times when we dreamed together, laughed and cried together. As I look back on those days, I realized how much I truly missed you. What we had, were just remain as a memories of yesterday. So,my lifetime friend, It is with all my heart I sent you my love, hoping that you will always carry my smile with you. For what we have meant to each other...('',)

"First Bonding Moment"

June 23,2009 (Tuesday)

This is the day of our first bonding moment. John, Denn and me had an enjoyable experienced in SM Megamall. We didn't stroll that much because after we got my cellphone on the cyberzone area, we ate and hang-out in McDonalds on the third floor of Mega B, I think. While hangging out we're discussing about different topics that pops out from our mind. Through this conversation, I found out that John and I had some similarities. One of those similarities is that we both love watching people around us like what they're doing, how do they look w/ what their wearing, etc. For me it's like fascinating but somehow mean. hahahaha! (admit it, we all does)

I also notice that we have different personality. John is some kind of joker. He loves going in galleries and collecting antiques. (In short, he's weird. lol) Denn is a serious type but knows how to have fun. He's a nice guy and I guess he loves photography because he have a picture of mine though they were just a stolen shots but of course I deleted them 'coz they're not pretty. (choozy!) And me? MMMMM.... just ask them. hehehehe!

Before we went home, I took a picture of us three for a remembrance. I also took their solo's. John looks like a clown simply because he's shots is in the funny mode while Denn, aaahhhhmmmm, I don't know because MY GOD he's UBER PACUTE! hehehe.

These guys we're outrageously awesome. I would love to hang-out with them again.

You have this effect on me.

Have you heard of the song called Thunder? It speaks about a boy who met a girl during summer and that she made a big impact in the boy's life and that her voice was his strength and the soundtrack of his summer.

I had a Physics class when I was in HS. And I remember one lesson we once discussed, it was about Thunder and Lightning. We learned that lightning comes first before thunder. Like, fireworks, too. The sparks come out before the sound does. Yes, it's because light travels faster than sound.

And I believe that I am the sound and you're the light. We may never hit the ground together but one thing's for sure, I'll be there wherever you go.

Binyag Arriba 09

Yesterday was the Binyag Arriba in Letran. It's their way of welcoming us, Freshmen, to the Colegio. Even though, I was sick (Yes, I had slight fever), I still went. Of course, it was our binyag, I wouldn't miss it for anything else.

The mass was held in the school grounds and the morning sun was killing us softly. It was so hot, it's as if they were torturing us, not welcoming but it was one way to make my block united. We were under our umbrellas while the priest was discussing his homily and we were not listening. Then after the mass, we were asked to line up for the different activities. Each one of us received an envelope containing a handbook, a rosary, a Letran pin, food stub and the Vision and Mission thingy. Then, they asked us to geneflect and they were like, bestowing us. Like, we were real Knights. And the only phrase I understood was Patria Deus Letran. Then, we were asked to line up again to ring the bell. Then after, we were under the sun again. The next stop was the petal thing. We were asked to bring out 1 peso for the petal. I didn't find it corny since it's part of our life at Letran. It's like a preface of a book or the opening credits of a movie. It's something we, Letranites, should remember.

Then after those things, we were given a map of the whole Colegio. There's free food, too. :) Then, we practiced the cheers with the upperclassmen and we waited for like, 30 minutes? For the declaration thing. And it was under the sun again. We recited our Colegio's creed.

I am a Letranite and I will continue to live my days as one for God, for the Fatherland and for my beloved Alma Mater, Letran. Arriba Letran!

Then the yelling started, water was sprinkled to us parang ambon lang but we got wet, too. It was really like a baptism. It was, indeed, a great experience to be in the Binyag Arriba. See, if I didn't go, I wouldn't write about it. Ha-ha. Then after, my blockmates and I, went out for a break. We ate lunch at a carinderia near Mapua and Lyceum since SM's a bit far and we were so lazy to walk until there. Half of our block was there, even the boys. :)

Then, after lunch, we were asked to go back to the Gymnasium for some activities. The presentation of the different organizations and the recruitment thing happened there. I joined the LIMO & Kable. I'm still deciding whether to join the Cheering Squad or not since the practice will be hectic and I like, live in Paranaque. So, I'm not yet decided. Ha-ha. All the IComm students, I think, were required to join LIMO, so I did. :) And since, I need it to. :)

So yeah. The Binyag Arriba was cool. Next activity: Pep Rally & the NCAA openings! :>

"Ten Things I Hate about Boys"

I hate when they say I LOVE YOU
even they didn't mean it
I hate when they say SORRY
especially when they are not really sorry
I hate when they say a TIME
and yet they don't come on time
I hate when they offer a SONG
but it's also their song
I hate when they say they'll CALL
cause they won't call at all
I hate when were TOGETHER
but will immediately say see you later
I hate when they TEXT
while talking to their -ex
I hate when they say TAKE CARE
even if they don't really care
I hate when I LIKE them
especially if I fall in love w/ them
But what I mostly HATE is that
I can't hate them in spite of that

For the religious

"And I say unto you, that thou art Peter (Petros, Greek meaning Stone; Cephas, Hebrew meaning Stone [John 1:42]) and upon this Rock (Greek Petra meaning massive) I will build my church" - Matt. 16:18 -
Many denominations nowadays, consider this verse as one of the core verses of the church. Like for example, the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church (both were companions before but now, they are separated due to some conflicts in their doctrines), they believe that this verse partains to Peter as the so-called "rock" and the founder of the church. But the question is, is Peter really the founder of the Church?
Notice the difference between the two words and their corresponding Greek words (take note: the oroginal context of the New Testament is written in Greek, therefore, we should consider the important words written in Greek), what does the word "PETER" means in Greek and in Hebrew? and what does the word "ROCK" means in Greek?
The word "PETER" was the name given by Jesus Christ to Simon the son of John as scripturally stated in John 1:42
42And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone. (King James Version)
In this case, Peter cannot be the "ROCK" because he is just a stone (literally a stone is just a piece of the rock, therefore, the Rock is greater than a stone. It is also massive than a stone).
Now who is this "ROCK" of Matthew 16:18?
Again, Peter can never be the Rock as stated in the verse. The rock should be greater than the stone. Did you notice one similarity with a verse in the Bible that states, "A servant is not greater than his master"? If we consider this statement, we can say that the stone cannot be greater than the Rock, isn't it?
Now who is this ROCK?
Let us consider another verse,
1 Corinthians 10:4 (King James Version)
4And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
According to this verse, the Rock is Christ! It is stated very clearly that the Rock is Christ. Did the bible say that Peter was the rock? No! In fact, Peter was never the foundation of the church. To prove it, here is one verse we should consider:
1 Corinthians 3:11 (American Standard Version)
11 For other foundation can no man lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
See! For other foundation can no man lay than that which is laid. Who was laid as a foundation of the faith of the church? He is none other than Jesus Christ, our God and our Saviour.
Friends, for us to learn many things about the church, we should consider the bible as our only reference. Why? The Bible is, according to 2 Timothy 3:16 of American Standard Version
"16 Every scripture inspired of God is also profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction which is in righteousness" and also, according to Psalm 19:7 (American Standard Version)
7 The law of Jehovah is perfect, restoring the soul: The testimony of Jehovah is sure, making wise the simple.

If it is already perfect, then why still add other doctrines? The Apostle Paul warned as concerning adding doctrines,
1 Corinthians 4:6 (American Standard Version)
6 Now these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes; that in us ye might learn not to go beyond the things which are written; that no one of you be puffed up for the one against the other.
and John the beloved apostle of Christ and one of the Elders of the church of Christ,
Revelation 22:18-19 (American Standard Version)
18 I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, if any man shall add unto them, God shall add unto him the plagues which are written in this book:
19 and if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, which are written in this book.
My friends, let us speak where the bible speaks and be silent where the bible is silent. If we do this, our Lord Jesus Christ will dwell in us and will save us till our lives here on earth is over.

Welcome dear Journalism Babies!



Yes! from now on, we the sophomores are the oldest journalism students at the Colegio because there are no enrolled 3rd and 4th year students.

that makes all 15 of you our precious babies, or we love to call it "Journ Babies", because the Journalism Program in Letran is only on it's 5th year.

ok so let's cut the formality.

so ganito yun, this is our website, here we can talk about lifelife, lovelife, food, crushes, school problems, anything under the sun. This serves as our diary.

Please feel free to post anything that you feel might inform, teach, challenge, inspire and edify the small journalism community of the Colegio. Anything can mean an essay, a news item, a short story, a serialized novel, poems, a question for discussion. Anything can also mean your own, or something interesting you discovered on the net, something borrowed and copied (with the necessary acknowledgment of course), something worth sharing, e.g. a lecture from your biology class, a literature assignment you need clarification about. Anything. (Anything, however, does not include smut, porno, or any of these youtube "scandals".)

-If you have any problems at school...academically or personal, you can always to me and the other Journalism Majors. In the journalism program, we are a family, we are a team and as a team:
