**In our English class last Friday [090306], Portia shared this song and her insights….

You’re Gonna Miss This by Trace Adkins

She was starin out the window of their SUV
Complainin sayin I can’t wait to turn 18
She said I’ll make my own money
And I’ll make my own rules
Momma put the car in park out there in front of the school
And she kissed her head, and said
‘I was just like you’

You’re gonna’ miss this
You’re gonna’ want this back
You’re gonna’ wish these days
Hadn’t gone by so fast

These are some good times
So take a good look around
You may not know it now
But you’re gonna’ miss this

Before she knows it she’s a brand new bride
In her one bedroom apartment
And her daddy stops by
He tells her it’s a nice place
She says, ‘It’ll do for now’
Starts talkin’ about babies, and buyin a house
Daddy shakes his head
And says baby just slow down

Cuz’ you’re gonna’ miss this
You’re gonna’ want this back
You’re gonna’ wish these days
Hadn’t gone by so fast

These are some good times
So take a good look around
You may not know it now
But you’re gonna’ miss this

Five years later there’s a plumber
Workin’ on the water heater
Dog’s barkin’, phone’s ringin’
One kid’s cryin’ one kid’s screamin’
And she keeps apologizin’

He says they don’t bother me
I’ve got two babies of my own
One’s thirty- six, one’s twenty- three
Huh, it’s hard to believe

But you’re gonna’ miss this
You’re gonna’ want this back
You’re gonna’ wish these days
Hadn’t gone by so fast

These are some good times
So take a good look around
You may not know it now
But you’re gonna’ miss this

You’re gonna’ miss this
Yeaahhhh… you’re gonna’ miss this…

Portia’s thoughts:

The song’s message is very simple. We hear it most of the time especially from older people (like sir, chos!) but most of the time we ignore them. It tells us to appreciate every moment rather than worrying or getting excited of what’s still to come.

Classmates (addressed to IV-Courage), the school year’s about to end… We’ll soon be parting ways… So appreciate every moment… Live everyday to the fullest… Say sorry to those whom you’ve hurt… Thank those who have helped you in any way… ‘Cause the next thing we know, we’re already sitting in a different classroom… with different seatmates… and a different English teacher…

“These are some good times

So take a good look around

We may not know it how

But we’re gonna miss this”

**This is totally hilarious! But I love it! The fan who made this, put my thoughts into the video! I was thinking about the ‘Tell Me’ of Wonder Girls when I saw the choreo at 00:06-00:10!

A week had passed. February, 13 2009, the SSA San Fernando attended the 2nd Students’ Association of Benedictine Schools Sports Festival. A total of five schools participated on the said sports fest. They are SSC-Manila, SSC-Westgrove, SSA-Marikina, SSA-San Fernando and HFA-Angeles City.

Our first game was against SSC-Manila Basketball team. We had a nice game though we lost it. The second game was against SSA-Marikina. We also lost this game. And the last game of the day was played against SSC-Westgrove. They defeated us, unfortunately.

That was a tough day. But night came, I was a bit excited about the solidarity night. Each school was grouped into five by counting off. After, we were asked to stay with our group with the other schools. I counted 5 so, I belonged to group 5.Every school was tasked to present a simple game and I won with my group with the SSA-Marikina’s game. We had Skittles as prize. We had also a simple snack. After each time that a school presented a game, they also present a dance. Remember that we had our dance practice last foundation days? That was for the solidarity night. The basketball, volleyball, badminton and the swimming team of our school presented a remix of dances. That night was a lot of fun!

Second day came. We are to face HFA for our last game. We needed to win the game to have the 4th place at least. And thank God, we made it! We defeated HFA.

Awarding time followed after the games. SSC-Manila declared champions for the second time. They were also the champions of the first ABS Sports Fest. Though we didn’t make it, it was a great experience for me. This was my first time to be part of the said sports fest. This is a memorable one to take a part on it because it is only that ABS Sports Fest is held every two years.

Our efforts were not wasted. I believe that we put our 100% in our games. But I knew that it was not enough to defeat the unbeatable SSC-Manila. But I was happy with the outcome.

I will remember forever this chance for me to be a part of an event like this.

I am in the middle of doing stressful things when my friend, Issa, buzz me at ym and shared a video. She said that the video can release my stress, so I played it.

My spirit was uplifted seeing the Japanese boy, dancing to MIROTIC! I love that adorable kiddo!

If you want to see more of the young kid’s videos visit her aunt’s youtube account HERE.

The last Academy Days at St. Scholastica’s Academy. I thought they are going to be memorable. But I was wrong. I expected too much. What can I do? I’m just a student following the schedule of activities. It pissed me off knowing that the academy days were boring.

Academy days is one of the occasions that I’m looking forward to. It disappointed me. The academy days were not free days for us but ‘scripted free days’. You get me?

There were activities, yes, but I think those activities didn’t suit my expectations. Ball games, Bingo Social, Talent Showcase and…. I can’t remember the others. Or were there any activities? I can’t remember at all. You can call me an exaggerating bastard here. But hey! I’m just telling the sad truth.

Aha! I can remember one thing, we kept on eating then! That’s it! Stupid me? urgh! Oh yeah, we practiced our dance presentation for the ABS Sports Fest. We had basketball training then too under the burning sun at the OPEN COURT!

What else? What else? Oh! We sang ‘happy birthday’ to Siwon and Hangeng. I slept at the dance studio too! Got pictures of my friends too. And yeah, I was assigned to look after the exhibit for 30 minutes I think.

I didn’t realized that I had done a lot of things! Things that not all I want to do or happen those days. Anyways, the great part is, we were given the chance to release ourselves from the four walls of our classroom.

I just hoped that those days can be remembered and treasured.

Feb 02- It’s the last day of my friend, Jemboi, being a a lady of sweet 16! And we started teasing her! lol

Feb 03- It’s Jemboi Ahjuuma’s Birthday! She is 17! Hooray for the happy 17 years! ^^ Jemboi treat us recess. Thanks for that! Love you Jemboi! And it’s Kyuhyun Oppa’s Birthday too!

Feb 04- Though it is a day late, we blew birthday cupcakes for Jemboi and Kyuhyun! Jemboi’s cupcake had a yellow candle and Kyuhyun’s cupcake had blue candle! I wish them another fruitful year!

Feb 05- This is  a killing day! I slept late finishing our research paper in Filipino! Grrr.. And I thought it’s also the deadline for our investigatory project’s technical paper.

Feb 06- All time cramming day! Kinol thought I didn’t send the finished technical paper to her. But it’s alright. Thanks to the almost useless computer section in our library. hehe.

I need to keep my composure, after all, it’s my second hubby, Yunho oppa’s birthday!

Feb 07- This is the day I almost met death! *exaggerating* We had Saturday make-up classes but I didn’t attend my regular classes because we had our basketball training and that almost killed me! Thanks God, I survived it!

At recess time, we blew a birthday cupcake for Yunho. It had a pink candle. I blew the candle since they knew I love Yunho much!

Sum up: This had been a killer week (as being referred to as by MJ). lola

It is someone’s special day. She turned 16! But again, I’m still a sister to her. I am glad and blessed to know her, to meet her in the walk of my life.

It was November. I clearly remember. She buzzed me at yahoo messenger. She took a concerned action. She saw my status that said that I am anxious and a bit worried. She gave me encouragement even if we don’t know each other or even talked to each other. That was the first time.

The second time was at Sapphire Pearls forum. There is a game there called, ‘I want to know more about you’ and in that game, we had a little lengthy conversation. That was the time I felt friendly towards her. She asked for my number and without hesitation, I gladly gave it to my new found friend.

The third time. She send me ans sms even if I  am subscribed to a different cellphone network. And I replied to her even if that’s the case. I found it great to meet new friends having the same interest. After that first sms, we didn’t miss to send each other sms even if we don’t reply to each other’s sms. It is enough for us to greet each other good morning and wish each other a good luck. And with my desire to not burden her with load matters, I even use my parents’ phone to get in touch with her.

When she said that she’ll buy another sim, I decided to buy also so that it will be more convenient for us to contact each other.

I feel trusted when she tells her thoughts and feelings to me. I am grateful for that.

When she has load, she calls me.

She’s a sweet and thoughtful friend. I consider her as a virtual best friend since we didn’t meet personally yet. But we are planning to meet up and I can’t wait for that!

Now she tuned a year older, I am thankful to the Almighty for sending such an angel who can be my confidante. I know she will travel a long way and I hope to be with her on her journey.

Remember my friend, I love you! We love you, I and Dearie or your Kambal. We love you, I and Soulmate or your Dear. Thank you for all! We are always here for you. At your back, cheering and supporting you!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHINGU!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIS!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LORA!

It had been a busy two day activity for me. Well, I applied to be a stdent-teacher substitute for Science I. I had to teach three year one classes (Deborah, Esther and Sarah).

Wednesday [0910128]

I felt less excited about this activity. I don’t know why but suddenly I am feeling lazy to stand up in front of a class and discuss about Energy. (I think my feelings and the lesson that I taught is ironic XD)

Thursday [090129]

After a 5 day break, I went to school dressed a little formal to fit my work for the day. But still, I am not feeling enthusiastic about the activity. I’m sleepy to face 3 classes but then I have no choice but face the whole day. I just met two classes (Sarah and Deborah) since we had a program for our teachers. All went smoothly that day.

After a day of teaching, I attended our basketball training as a preparation for ABS Sports Fest. It was really tiring! But miraculously, our coach was less strict. (I wonder if he appreciated the program that’s why he’s less strict…)

Friday [090130]

I’m still tired from my Thursday’s activities and always sleepy. (Pearly call me owl Hazel and sleepy head) I had a first period class which is I-Deborah. The discussion went plain and normal. And at recess time, I fetch my friend (I treat her my best friend) at our classroom since my other buddy is out of the school to attend an event and 4 of us (we are 6 in our circle) are student-teachers so she is left alone. We had our recess at the same time. After recess, I had a class in I-Esther (thanks for the flower ^^). And at my vacant period, I slept. And at lunch time it was my friend’s turn to fetch me at the library (the library served as our faculty room) and had our lunch. And after lunch, I had double period at I-Sarah. I was surprised that Thursday to found out that I’ll have a deadly two periods at one class! But that 2 period class was the most enjoyed period for me. The students of I-Sarah are really friendly and approachable. And now, some of the members of the class send me a sms this evening and I find that really friendly ^^. And when the activity period came, I stayed with my club (Scieartech Movement) and watched ‘Titanic, the Untold Stories’. We did not finish it but I badly want to complete watching it! It kicked out the curiosity inside me. And after, for the first time, I am looking forward to our basketball practice XD. But I forgot to bring socks! But then, I found out that we won’t have training today. So I just rode in our car pool. And for what I felt like decades, I ate at KFC lol.

The day is the same as the first day. It was tiring but I enjoyed the second more than the first day. Now, I don’t regreat filling an application to be a student-teacher. It is my last year in High School so this was a best memory for me! Thanks to everybody who made it a treasure!

**And there is also one thing that touched me this day! This is what happened:

Recess Time~

MJ: Emo Kid daw ako T T (They tagged me as an emo kid T T)

ME: Bakit? (why?)

MJ: Wala kayo, mag-isa lng ako kahit dun sa row namin. (You’re not there. I am alone even in our row.)

ME: Ah..

MJ: Tapos lumipat ako ng lugar, dun sa lugar ni Milky. Eh yung upuan moh nandun. Nakita ako may Siwon. Lalo tuloy ako nalungkot. (Then I transfer to Milky’s place. Your arm chair is at Milky’s place. I saw that there is a Siwon. Then I got gloomier.)

ME: Bakit? (why?)

MJ: Kasi upuan mo yun. T T (Because that’s your chair)

(These are not the precise things that we said but most likely they are like these.)

>>At that conversation. I felt that I am really important to my buddy. She missed me or us even if we just don’t met her or be with her for two school days. That moved me. I love you man!
