Once upon a time...

The remaining days that I am to spend in ISNHS are numbered. In just a few months, I will be entering a whole new world. I always think about my future, even when I'm asleep. One night, when I kissed my pillows and drifted into unconsiousness, I saw a woman.

The woman stoop down her silver, expensive-looking car. She entered a building and walked through the crowded corridor. The tik-tok of her shoes broke the silence in an office filled with desks, computers and employees. Her Secretary was waiting for her for she needed to sign some documents for her trip toParis with her family. She is the Associate editor of a well-known magazine and at the same time, the legal counsel of the company where she is working. She started working on some papers and sipping a hot cup of capuccino immediately after she sat down her cozy chair. After a few hours, she went out and had lunch with her best friends. I saw my best friends and some of my classmates. The girl was laughing with them. Then I dumbfoundedly realized that the girl I was dreaming of was me. Not exactly me, but a mature, sophisticated, and professional me.

Whenever I remember that dream, I find myself smiling. It's an impossible-to-the-nth power dream. Before, I even thought it was absurd. But now, I'mall fired up to try reaching for it. With the help of God, I know that I can turn these dreams into reality.

I AM THE MASTER OF MY FATE. I AM THE CAPTAIN OF MY SOUL.

Let's Work It Out!

"Imagine all the people living life in peace. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us. And the world will live as one" to quote a familiar Lennon tune. Sometimes I feel like I wanna sing the song with all my heart because the lyrics says it all.

Today, we can't really say that our country is a 'peaceful' place. Where can we find a peaceful place, anyway? Look around. You might see something that you've been missing for a long time. It's not heaven here on earth.

As a student, I am aware of my responsibilities. I study not only because I want to earn money. It's because I want to save my country in the future as well. I don't dream of becoming a leader or a politician someday. But I take part in leading my fellow students by joining clubs, programs and campaigns today. I serve as a role model to the youngsters by studying hard and loving nature.

The destruction of nature is also one of the scorching hot issues of today. Mother Earth is fighting for her life, and so are we. As the sons of God, we must be the caretakers of his creations. But what are we doing? We're the ones destroying them. That is why one of my responsibilities is to help Mother Earth breathe by planting trees and not using materials that contains CFC's to minimize pollution.

Everyone can do something. Let's do our 'something' even if it's small. I'm sure it can make a big difference. Together we can make our country a better place. And with the help of God, who knows, we might even change the world.

Just One More

The days that I am to spend in ISNHS are NUMBERED. I totally don't wanna count.

The past few months seems like a blur to me. I can't really give a good, detailed overview of what happened last 3rd grading but I believe I remember some things.

I really love blogging but sometimes, during the 3rd grading period to be specific, I found it hard to post because of some activities that interfered with my class schedule. Well, I don't blame those E.C.Activities because I learned a lot from them. And it's also because of the Christmas vacation. When you're days before the Christmas vacay, you must admit, you can't prevent your mind from thinking of the fun that you'll be experiencing during your vacay.

The P.T. was difficult, too. Not because the lessons were really difficult but because I missed some of our discussions because of, again, other activities.

Nevertheless, I really had a great time during the 3rd grading. Even though I wasn't able to give my best last 3rd grading, I'll make up for it this 4th grading. I hope so.:)
