Don't take Grammar Lessons FOR GRANTED

This past few days our English teacher distributed papers in our class, knowing that those were 3rd year batch's grammar errors in our blogs, I immediately looked at it and read it. Thank God that none of those errors were mine. When our whole class was studying the errors, I have realized that even a single word, letter, phrase or sentence was wrong, the whole thing you mean will be different.

I'm really very careful when it comes to my GRAMMAR! I'm not afraid to ask other people just to know if my grammar is correct. I write in a simple way, with no words that mean so deep, just a correct grammar that the whole world can understand.

When I was an Elementary student, I have to admit that I did have a very poor grammar skill, but when I became a High School student and started listening to my English teachers, that was the time when I became sensitive at my english grammar. 

I am not taking GRAMMAR LESSONS at school for granted anymore and that what enhanced my writing skills.

I REALLY HATE WRITING, I REALLY DO especially when our teachers told us to write on a sheet of paper (grr!), but when we are talking about BLOGGING, that totally mean an opposite and a different thing! I just love BLOGGING! My view about WRITING changed when I learned how to blog. I don't know why, but when I'm blogging I can express everything I want to say.

“It is the highest form of self-respect to admit our errors and mistakes and make amends for them. To make a mistake is only an error in judgment, but to adhere to it when it is discovered shows infirmity of character.”  --Dale E. Turner

 There is no harm in correcting one's error! So what our English Teacher did in our class was not to humiliate us, but to make us a better speaker and writer of the English language. Be grateful when others correct us, because it means that they care for us and they don't want us to be laughed at by others.

INTRAMS (2010-2011): a good and fair week of competition

The Games are just a nice, positive way to build friendships, camaraderie and, of course, self-esteem. Plus, the Games are a great opportunity for people to participate in sports who normally wouldn't. --Greg Louganis

 FOUNDATION WEEK is the most-awaited event in TUMCS every year and every student really prepares for it. In this event is where students are having opportunities to play and participate in different games such as Volleball, Chess, Basketball and competitons such Cheerdance, Ballroom, and Modern Dance. For us, who actively participates in competitions every year, it is just a normal thing, but for some of the students, it's really a great opportunity.

DEFENDING CHAMPION of CHEERDANCE COMPETION
 last year SOPHOMORES, this year JUNIORS, next year SENIORS :)

  "JUNIORS THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST! JUNIORS THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST!"
 Those were the lyrics of our yell that retained in the minds of High School students. I just can't get over how the crowd reacted in our Cheerdance and I'm just too happy that we brought too much entertainment in the whole gymnasium. From SOPHOMORES to JUNIORS we are the DEFENDING CHAMPION and our next target is SENIORS' championship.


By GOD's grace our batch (2010-2011) of JUNIORS won most of the games and competition this year including Basketball(boys), Volleyball, Badminton, Chess, Cheering, and Ballroom (I guess that's all). I just feel so blessed that I do belong in this batch of active, competitive,  intelligent, kind and God-fearing students of TUMCS.


For me, FAIRNESS was observed during the Intrams except for the referees, for example during the basketball games(boys) even if it was already a foul and everybody saw it, they won't call for a foul. My brother also told me that he was being nudged by another player and yet there was no call from the referee. I just don't know if they weren't able to see it or what.


In general, the whole Intrams was good. Opponents were sports and some even developed friendship. They didn't take the whole competition personally and that's what matters most in every competition, those who are friends before become still friends and those who are strangers before become friends.

We really are a very competitive person, but I think that's just good. As long as you're not hurting anyone and AS LONG AS IT IS A FRIENDLY COMPETITION.

LIFTINGS :D

Racial Discrimination: America's Constant CURSE!

 

What is RACISM?
     Racism or Racial Discrimination is the ABUSIVE behavior or treatment towards members of another race.

   “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”

                   --Martin Luther King Jr.

    Martin Luther King is right! Can you, WHITE People, feel what Black feel when you discriminate them? We people, should not be judged by the color of our skin or from what race are we but from WHAT'S INSIDE OF OUR HEART! God created us in HIS OWN IMAGE and He created us to be loved not to be DISCRIMINATED.

    


  Is it now bad to just be ourselves, to just be what we really are and to be different? Well as far as I know, it is not. That's why there is a word called 'FREEDOM and RIGHTS', for people to enjoy it. 
    I really do adore BLACKS, they are these people who are good at many things such as PLAYING BASKETBALL, SINGING, DANCING, ACTING and etc. They are the people known in many fields whether Physical or Mental. I just don't get it why you discriminate BLACKS, because their skin is black or because you're afraid that if they were welcomed by the whole country, BLACK will stand out.

    To tease BLACKS is normal, but to outcast them in some places, THAT'S TOO MUCH! They don't deserve to be treated like that. We're all the same people, from the same creator and from Adam and Eve. All men were created equally and no man is better than the other.

     We only live for God alone and not for others, so it doesn't matter how many people hate us and how many people are angry at us, He sees us by what's inside our heart and not by the color of our skin.

This is my view towards Racial Discrimination. :)) 

Life's Unpredictable: A must-read Testimony

      GOD is the only reason for everything; 

for our precious talents, precious gifts, precious friends and family, and for a very wonderful and colorful life. So He has the only right to get our life whenever and wherever He wants to.

      I was 4 years old then when my father left to work in America. Then he came back after 6 years. Imagine, for 6 years I've longed for a father. He wasn't there when I graduated pre-school with honors, he wasn't there when I started making experiences with others. Until he came back, and my life changed a lot. It became more super duper colorful than before. From then on, he comes back every year.

     I'm so proud of my parents, especially when my friends get jealous because of my family's closeness. For me, they are the BEST parents in the whole wide world.

    




     It was February 2010 when my disease started. I missed many lessons because I was always absent. It was like this, this day I have fever, tomorrow I have pharyngitis, the next day I have UTI, then fever again and etc. I was confined in two hospitals, I spent 5 days at Angono Medics and 6 days at Medical City, both hospitals treated my disease like Typhoid Fever even though it wasn't. They did many many tests in my body but still, I went (March 12, 2010) and left (March 22, 2010) two hospitals without them knowing what my real disease was.


     The start of my 3rd Year life went out so great. I developed a closer bond with my family and friends. So far, this year is the best year in my entire school life. This year was when I experienced and is still experiencing a great happiness in the company of my beloved friends. I felt a complete satisfaction in the midst of my relationship with my family and friends, and for me to really enjoy my teenage life, having a boyfriend is not a good idea.

   It was September then when Dengue Fever was so common in the Philippines. I was not that worried that time with Dengue. Until on September 12, I reached a very high fever of 39 degrees Celsius. They found out that my platelet count is low so I was brought at Angono Medics. I was dying in pain that time because of tummy. The doctor inserted a tube through my nose down to my stomach, for the bleeding inside it will be spit out through the tube. The Tube Insertion was the MOST PAINFUL experience in my life. I was not allowed to eat, and I can't speak.

It was the first time that I heard my father cried on the phone and that really broke my heart.

   Everytime they let the blood come out, my feeling was like a person was punching me. It was really really hard, but still I found ways to cheer myself up and others too.
   Due to extreme decrease of my platelet count, because it was Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever Stage 3, a transfusion of 15 bags of plasma was needed.
  You know, I wasn't really aware how fatal my illness that time was, until I was brought in the ICU of Dr. Fe Del Mundo Hospital and then everyone was really praying for me. I stayed there for almost 2 days until my platelet count increases and after that I just stayed in a private room for 2 more days.

this was taken by my father inside the ICU

 I was cured by God's grace and also because of the prayers of the people around me. For me, all of these things are MIRACLE, being hospitalized twice in a year and yet I'm here alive, healthy, very happy and contented with my life. When I was inside the ICU.......

I told God that He can now get my life whenever He wants to, that I'll just surrender everything to Him, because I know that everything happens for a good reason and whatever my God's will is I'll accept it wholeheartedly. 

   I never lost FAITH because of those God-given trials in my life, I never did, and I never will.

   Life's really UNPREDICTABLE. Trials, depressions and problems may come, but I assure you one thing,

THAT OUR GOD WILL NEVER LEAVE NOR FORSAKE US

                --that was what He promised us.


   Hope you liked it, though it's too long. :)
   Thanks for reading my autobiography.
