One concern that seriously affects the quality of life in school is the four-days schedule. Unfortunately, it has become a major issue in de La Salle. Some students are against it, and some are in favor of it. Personally I am against it because I am having difficulties in time management. Most of the students, including myself, go home late because of the prolonged length of class hours that has to be fitted in the unconventional four-day schedule.
2. What is our proposed solution to this problem?
If the school returns the five days of class schedule, students will have easier time in school. I don’t think that the students are using the extra day (in four days sched) appropriately.
3. As an active citizen in De La Salle, what do you commit yourself to do so that this school would become an ideal school?
De La Salle University is a very well known school in our country because of the quality of education it gives to the students. To preserve it, I will work hard and be focused with my studies. I will also work on my study habits so that I will be able to produce outstanding grades and be proud of it. This way, I can help maintain the prestigious title of this school.

My collage is just a rather simple carefully selection of photographs that convey everything I want to experience in my future. I'd like to have the opportunity to share my knowledge with the student's I'll be taking care of. Though the only difference that I would want to experience from the photographs is that I want to be owning and running that preschool, meaning I will have nobody above me in terms of authority... except for my God. :)
It would be remarkable to see students acquiring new knowledge and it would a fantastic sight to see your students discover something new for themselves with little or no supervision coming from you, their teacher. :) The feeling that you get when you're inside the classroom is something you can never recreate. Each day is unplanned, no matter how long you spend planning the outcome to be. Each day is unpredicted, no matter how hard you try to oversee the possible events. Yet, each day is a blessing. Just to be around children who bring joy into your life is simply wonderful and refreshing. A sense of peace overcomes you and consumes you, yet you still are happy and every bit of you agrees. :)
I want to see myself in this setting, because of all the good things and the bad things that can happen. I want to be in this setting because I want to be with the children who make all the bad things worth it :)
Part I: Self-Awareness
My greatest achievement in high school was..
- to recieve an award for Subject proficiency in Business Management
- to participate in and inter-school competition (The Teenpreneuer Challenge)
- to be a class officer
My talents, skills and strengths include...
- getting things done on time
- being able to plan events
- an "artistic" eye fir things
- playing frisbee, or maybe just running really fast. HAHA :)
- being able to say what I want without hesitations :)
My weaknesses and areas for improvement are..
- when I become shy, I literally freeze. I have this complete and total shut down.
- the way I view people. I have this tendency to judge people way too fast without sufficient basis.
- my writing skills. I do want to improve, really, I do.
- my very limited skills in photography and lomography
I am enrolled in my course because...
I want to work around children because I want to have a job that doesn't need any external motivations. Just the fact that I'll be working with children gets me all happy inside :)
Part 2: Becoming a Lasallian Achiever
The things I need to develop in order to become a Lasallian Achiever:
1. I need to develop my love for my country. Yabang Pinoy!
2. To bring glory to the name above all names, to my Heavenly Father :)
3. I need to develop a sense of time. Time is running out so quickly, I should be able to keep things sane.
4. I need to remain humble and stop judging people right then and there.
5. I need to be a whole lot more confident :)
For those hurt, love can mean demise.
For those in love, love can mean the world.
For those who've given up hope, love can mean a joke.
For those hopeful, love could be the only reason.
For those in search, love could be worth the long journey.
For those single since birth, love could be the only thing missing.
For those in love, love can mean the world.
For those who've given up hope, love can mean a joke.
For those hopeful, love could be the only reason.
For those in search, love could be worth the long journey.
For those single since birth, love could be the only thing missing.
But there will always be the love that is prevented. The love issue I'd like to talk so boldly about is the issue of love experience by the same sex or same sex relationships.
I have a friend whom I highly respect as an individual. She proudly declares her faith and her belief in God and she sometimes boasts about her relations with her YFC group of friends. What seems to put the fire down is that she is currently in a relationship with her girlfriend.
I, as a Christian, have very strong beliefs that I will not compromise. Personally, I can tell that she loves her girlfriends as much as I love my own boyfriend. But there are certain things that will contradict her love for God. God has given us specific genders because He has created us in such way. If you love God and totally surrender your life to Him, your love for Him will be the most important love of your life. This love you have for Him is the reason why we do not question His authority or even His decisions for us. Besides the fact that it's written in the Bible, it's as simple as "God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve".
Though some of my friends would talk to me about their relationships with the same sex and would mention to me the good things they've learned from the relationships they've had or are currently in, I still don't fully agree with their statements. They say they learn a different kind of patience and they learn how to love in a whole different level, that's honestly good. Good for them! :) At least they learn, some people never ever learn. But still, I'd like to think things happen according to His reasons :)
However, I can never be one to judge. Who am I but a sinner, just like you and just like everyone else.

I believe in... God. He is the reason why I am the person I am today and why I am the person I will be in 20 years.
As a daughter... I should be more affectionate to my parents. I'm their only child that's still in the Philippines and living under their roof. They might have the empty nest syndrome if I don't show them how much I love them. And I'll never know when God will decide to spend eternity with them... such a sad thought :(
As a sister... I should be supportive of my siblings. I should call my eldest sister in the States and update her with my life. I grew up without her. I should talk to my favorite sister more often even if she is busy. I should write to my brother, he'd love to hear from me every once in a while. :) Family first, blood is thicker than water anyways.
As a leader... I should be more focused and establish relationships with the people I'm leading and serving. This way, we would all be working towards a common goal and working hand-in-hand... and smiling too! :)
As a student... I should stop procrastinating! But it helps me finish and it helps me work harder. But I shouldn't procrastinate so I can sleep more and be relaxed instead of being so tense. :)
As a friend... I should be more open. Some friends think I hide my true self... oh whatever. HAHA :)
As a member of the DLSU-Manila community... I should pray for the endeavors that DLSU-Manila is undergoing. They always do projects that can further the Kingdom of God. I should support that! I should also practice the act of CLAYGO because I still have lapses. I forget to throw my trash sometimes.
As a citizen of the Philippines... I should buy local products that kick the imported products back to their country of origin. I should be more proud of being a Filipino because of the one-of-a-class-talent Pinoys have! Yabang Pinoy! (http://www.yabangpinoy.com)'
As a human being.... I should get some rest! Hihi :)

So here's the situation. There are 3 students eyeing on a job. Student A is the energetic and passionate student. Student B is a student awardee and is happy. Student C is actually, me.
(this is where the air get's really cold and my head enlarges, in short, magyayabang na ako.)
What does Student C have to offer? My dear, the question is wrong. What does not Student C have to offer?
I want this job because I believe I'm the only one who can perform this job and raise it's standards.
Allow me be to so bold and say that frankly, I can be anyone you want me to be. My entire life's experiences have molded me in such a way that I can easily adapt to my new surroundings or even my new occupation. Many of my skills have taught me to be the person I proudly am today and have taught me numerous lessons that cannot be taught or acquired in a classroom.
To be able to work and function as a person, one must know who they really are. I'm glad to say that I've gone through my own sort of identity crisis and that's over me. I'm sure you wouldn't want a confused employee with no direction. I'd be glad to tell you that I know who I am and I know where I'm going. I realized that I am not perfect and I, just like everyone else, is guilty of mistakes. God has been immensely merciful to me and for that I am forever grateful. Now that God showed me how imperfect I am, I try and I do try my best to make the most out of my shortcomings and turn them into strengths. Many of the things He showed me are my characteristics of being impatient and too much of a perfectionist. From here, I quickly focused on them to make the most of them and I turned them around into my strength. Of course, I did all that with God's most faithful help.
One strength that I am proud to boast about is that I'm not so shy with a group of new people. I can do what is asked for me to do and do it to the best of my abilities. This is because I have performed in front of a big group in the past. With my mind set on giving the best performance, I don't mind the number of people. Whether they be from 10 people to 2000 people, I only want to give them the best of my performance leaving them with a good experience and time well spent.
My leadership skills have been proven and are still being improved in my youth group, YOUTH L.I.V.E. As a team, I have shown to be very efficient. I don't get to pick my own responsibilities but I do make sure to fulfill them and more. I have been assigned to responsibilities that they believe I can handle, and I have shown them that they did not make a mistake believing in me and in my capabilities. As a team member, I have learned to work under pressure and to work before the pressure. I learned that many people I will be working with have their own strategies to handle their own stress and not everyone will be understanding to each other. To be frank, many times have I served as the understanding one in the group. I have been hurt by a hot head, and I don't intend to hurt any of my team members with a hot head.
My love for photography has taught me about the art of patience, cruciality of accuracy, the majesty of incomparable imagination and the existence of total and pure bliss. Many times it frustrates me when I can't take the photograph that I've envisioned in my head, but then again I only find myself practicing twice as hard and twice as long as I would usually do just to capture that photograph later on. I don't waste my time dwelling on the failures that I've encountered but I use them as a motivation to only do better until I can reach my best. Once I reach my est, I don't see the point for settling for anything less. Neither should you, don't settle for anything less than the best.
I personally believe that a happier place is the place to be! I want to bring my smile with me where I go and infect as many people as I can. Smiling can go a long way, and sometimes all you need is a smile to help you get the job done.
For a psychology project, I sought the help of a Johari window to help me better understand how people understand me. Many of the conceptions about me were that I was caring, confident, dependable, friendly, mature, religious, trustworthy, cheerful, and organized. To show you that I not falsifying my credibility, you can find the other results in this webpage. (My Johari Window)
For reasons why you should pick me can take us a long time. But with the impression I'm giving you today, right now, I hope you'll receive it openly without any hesitation whatsoever.
I'm the one for the job because I'm the only one who can get the job done.
(I do sound so boastful, but really I'm not. Hihi)

Today was the first day of our PERSEF1 class. Honestly, it's quite boring and it's quite useless... but that's my own piece and that's how I personally feel about the class. The only thing that made it worthwhile was the fact that I'm groupmates with 2 of my very good friends whom I love dearly. I'm happy I'm groupmates with Xyra Marinas and Tami Reyes... and a new friend! His name is JAMIL. :| Yes, the male version of JAMILLA. :| I seriously thought I was the only one with the name Jam... but no. His nickname is Jam. How fun! We're both Jam's :)
Well let's get to the point, my camera's waiting to be played with I'm excited hihi.
Here's what I wrote down in class.
RIGHT NOW:
I think this (class) will be interesting
I feel bored and very sleepy. I had a 5 hour break before this class.
I am tired.
Was that it? I believe that was it. YAAAY! I'M DONE! :)

For reasons beyond human comprehension, you've stumbled upon sacred ground.
Joooke.... it's just my blog for my PERSEF1 class :)
Haha, but seriously... this isn't really for the public nor is it supposed to help you know who I am. This is not where I'd usually rant about everything and anything under the sun nor is it the place where I'd love to spill the juicist and most spectacular moments of my life. This is a closed blog for my PERSEF1 class. So if you're my personal friend, and for some amazing reason have found out about this hush-hush-secret blog, you can ask me personally for my personal blog and see how my brain work ;)
This is could a most glorious thing, or it could be the total and exact opposite. But, let's see! :)
P.S. it's so fun to listen to the music I've been listening to when I was in grade school. I wish I had my own laptop and room back then. Major concert every night, haha LOVEIT! :)
