Sem Break Ending..

The semestral break seemed very short. I still dont want to go to school yet.. But what can we do? That's just the way it has to be. Anyway, I enjoyed my sem. break. I was able to rest and relax.

Ha ha. All I did was rest and sleep. I didn't feel any depression or stress. I felt great without having to worry about school. But still, I was very busy doing my homeworks in the last day before our classes.

I wished I started it earlier so I won't suffer doing it all in one day. Anyway, I 'm lucky I was able to finish it.

Well, see you all in school. God bless!

CNSHS Intramurals 2008 - '09

At last! The most awaited moment of every students in CNSHS. Though it was delayed beacause of many problems in our weather and other matters, it was still pushed through. Ha ha. 3 days of Sports surely gets every students excited.

Everyone's ready for the Intramurals. Photo taken
at the school's gymnasium.

First of all, heres the list of each team who will participate in the school intramurals:
Green Acers Freshmen
Yellow Asus Sophomores
Red Macintosh Juniors
Blue Vaio Seniors

To start the event, an opening program was held. Unfortunately, we were not able to have a parade. Maybe because of time crisis. But it's good that we were able to have a successful opening program.

During the opening program, Each team presented a cheardance. The best dance will get the highest points of course. Each team presented their unique dance moves and transformed the gynasium into a market(not literally). The gymnasium was full of noise 'cause of the loud cheers and yells of many students.

Blue VAIOs set the gym on fire with their heart-stopping performance.


The cheer dance champions with their fancy performance.

Ater every team has performed there best cheer dance, It's up to the judges to determine the champs. After long analysis, the judges decided to choose the Red tem as the cheer dance winners. Well, getting second place is not bad though.


Whew, after exchanging hip dance moves, it was the contestants of Mr. and Ms. Physique's turn to get all eyes on them.

Each team was represented by pairs of students who were not only good in academics but also in sports. Every contestants showed off their attention-grabbing clothes and costumes.

After series of modeling on stage, questions were asked to each pairs. Making decisions were not easy for every pair.

Finally, the winner of the contest was announced. It was Arriane Ramirez ,with her partner, who won the title of Ms. and Mr. Physique.

Current Mr. and Ms. Physique. Arriane Ramirez with partner.

We were asked to cover at least one event in our school intramurals. I chose to cover volleyball girls. Since I have available photos of them.

The officials used Double Elimination in the game.
The first match was between the Blue Vaio and the Yellow Asus.
The two teams were very energetic. You can see the determination as both team show their skills. Both team receives the ball and returns it to the opponent. The rallies were long. But in the end, The blue team won the match.

The juniors think of strategies to take down the freshmen.

The Second match was between the Red team and the Green team
What happened was unexpected. The Green Acers showed everyone their secret weapons. Helen, probably the best player in their team receives and returns each ball with grace and with skill. Judith, Another incredible player from the Acers showed us how good she is in returning balls. Wow. The freshmen actually beat the Juniors.

Macintosh vs. Acers. The Acers rule the court as they get the victory over the red team.

Red Macintosh gets the win against the Yellow Asus.

Yellow Asus ended up in the 4th place because they lost their second match to the Red Macintosh. The Red teamhas another chance to be champs.

After showing their skills in their match against the red team, team Acers shows us more agressive moves. Helen and Judith leads their team to victory. Believe it or not. The Seniors were beaten by freshmen. Team Acer is unbelievably good in this sport.

The Blue team and the Red team still has their chance to emerge as champions. To determine who willl battle against Acers, a match between Blue and red was held.
After a hard and intense match, Blue Vaio ended up at third place. The red and green team compedted for the first place.

The incredible line up of the freshmen (volleyball girls).

On their match, The red team owned the first set. It's alright since the need to beat Acers twice for the to become champs. In the 2nd and 3rd set, Acers owned the court. Helen lead the team, destroying the Macintosh mercilessly.

Helen and Judith starts to own the court in the second set.

In the end, Green Acers were champs in Volleyball Girls.

After a tiring week, each students were assembled in the gym for the awarding. Unfortunately, there were no trophies nor medal. But its alright. As long as we had fun. :)
In the end, Green Acers took the fourth place. While Yellow Asus grabs the third place and the red Macintosh ended as 1st runner up. Like what they expect, Blue Vaio emerged victorious and as champs.
:)

Unforgettable Divisoria Experience

It's a Wednesday morning. I'm very excited today 'cause I'm supposed to go to Divisoria today with my ate Pearl. I woke up at 7:30 a.m and I think we left home at about past 8:00 a.m. We got there at almost 11:00 a.m. The first thing we did there was walk. Lots of walking. When we reached 168 mall. We looked for a fast food chain so we can eat. Ate Pearl and I agreed to buy lunch at Tokyo Tokyo.

After a satisfying meal, we immediately begin looking for stuffs we want to buy. I bought 2 pants there and it cost me only 480 php. Ha ha ha. Cheap right? That's what I like here. Every item you want costs less compared to other shops. What I hate most here is that it's very crowded! People are scattered everywhere. You won't be able to move comfortably.

I brought 2000 pesos. With that amount of money, I bought so many items there. Unlike in malls. I think I can just buy 2 jeans. I really save lots of money there but you'll lose energy in tiring walks.

We bought items outside 168 mall too. There were many vendors in the streets. I was able to buy many shorts there. :)

We were about to go home but I told ate Pearl to go back in 168 since I will buy something for my siblings and parents. I bought coin purses for my siblings and clothes for my parents.
The watches caught my attention. It costs only 60 pesos but you can buy two for 100 pesos.
It's very cheap and cute. It's just like a bracelet since its made up of wooden beads. I bought two and I will give it as a present.

After I bought all of the stuffs I want, something unforgettable happened. I got excited in looking at their stuffs thatI didn't notice that my phone was already robbed. How careless. I think it got lost after I bought the watches which was the last item that I bought. How careless! Well... I can't do anything about it now. Still, I thank God that the robber did not harm me.

How sad.. My beloved phone was taken from me.. Oh well.. It's too late to regret now.. Instead of weeping, I'll just think that I helped the needies. Still, I helped the wrong person. Hu hu hu.

Trip to Tagaytay

It's our sem. break next week! It's a good thing not to be in school for some time. We get the chance to rest and wake up late in the morning. We can finally sleep without our assignments bothering us. We can surely enjoy this break and avoid stress.

This Sunday, our family and relatives decided to stroll in Tagaytay. Wow. I haven't been in Tagaytay for some time now. Thank God we were able to get there safely.

Upon arriving in the church there in Tagaytay. We immediately looked for seats. Some just stood because there were no more seats available. I'm one of them. :) It's just alright. The mass just took about an hour. There were many Franciscans there in the church. According to the priest, they were from different nations.

Hhmm. After the mass, we took pictures then we got back to our vehicles to go to our destination. Our destination was Picnic Grove. We ate there. It's very relaxing 'cause you get to eat outdoors and there were several trees. We can really enjoy the beauty of nature. Well, it's not very cool when we got there. But it's a good thing its not that hot. Unlike here in Naic, you won't need to cool yourselves with fans and frozen desserts.
I had fun strolling with my cousins. I was with Ian and R.C. when we decided to buy shirts for ourselves. The colored shirts cost us 150 pesos each.

We got bored just roaming so we decided to go back to our tables and talked with ate Jazel. Ha ha. Her voice was very loud. We could hear her talking to our younger cousins. They laughed terribly hard because of her corny jokes.After a while, we finally decided to go home.

Again, out of boredom, some of us decided to watch a film in SM Dasma. We got there at about 5 p.m. We agreed to watch High School Musical 3 since it was just shown last Friday. Ha ha. My cousin did not stop complaining about the film. He complained that in every few minutes, the artist would begin singing. Ha ha. Well, that's why it's called a musical.. Songs are essential there. Still, my cousin has a point, the artists really sings more than acting. Ha ha.

I enjoyed our trip especially knowing that there's no classes tomorrow even if it's Sunday today. He he.
I got home late. But I slept after immediately after our trip.

At noon time, I watched television for a while and enjoyed so instead of doing something, I stayed in the living room to watch TV ha ha. Well, the show was interesting.. I couldn't blame myself for not doing something rather than watching TV.

Well, here it is.. a very busy afternoon. When I got my hands on the laptop, I started surfing the net while updating my blog.. I really needed to fill my blog with meaningful posts.. But I guess my posts weren't meaningful. Ha ha ha! Anyway, I tried to post as many blog posts as I can... Hopefully, I can get high grades..Hhhmm I sure hope my blog posts can give me satisfying grades.. Ha ha.. Though I stayed up late for posting these in my blog, I enjoyed filling up my blog with stuffs I like.. I never thought that blogging would be exciting. Ha ha.. I'm not fond of typing in the computer, or writing something or just telling something about me... Still, I managed to enjoy the whole night typing my posts.. :) Ha ha..


Well, I don't think that I have the time to sleep. I decided to stay awake and not to sleep anymore.. Besides, it's already 3:30 in the morning here.. I just wish that I'll stay awake at school.. He he he.. =)


Some of my schoolmates are still awake for now.. Well, I hope that we will all finish our home works.. Ha ha ha. Good luck to us! Hhhmm..

Sounds familiar? Yup, it's One way by Hillsong United.. But it's the Japanese version.. Just found the track while browsing on imeem.com. I was searching for the song One Way but I also found this version..

Ha ha.. I think it's nice.. Wow.. Ha ha.. It's really nice to think that no matter what language or nationality it may be, His people gather and continue to serve him.. Hallelujah!

Anyway, it's nice.. Their version is nice.. Hope that the population of His believers will continue to grow.. Oh well, Good morning everyone! Have a pleasant day ahead and God bless us always :)..
