A LOT MORE TO WORK ON !

        The greatest mistake I can ever accomplish to be afraid to have one. This is what I believed in. All of us committed mistake no one is an exemption. Upon knowing what I have done wrong, at first I felt bad because no matter how hard I’ve tried, it is still not enough. But after some time, I’ve learned to accept it as a challenge to strive even more and to do better next time. I still have A LOT MORE TO WORK ON. Not just in life but specifically in my studies. As time passed by, one should not stop himself from learning and attaining more. We should value each mistake for they are precious LIFE LESSONS that can only be learned the HARD WAY.

Committing errors and mistakes in life is the same as having it in grammar. In life, man should think of it as a spinning wheel and everything changes, just like how tenses of verbs evolved through time. In writing, remember to write the simplest sentence to avoid errors with the subject-verb agreement, just like how we should live a simple and contented life. When I was reading my work, I’ve realized that my knowledge about grammar rules were still not enough. I can’t help but commit careless errors. GRAMMAR is really a big word. It’s essential in life, because what we write reflects our personality. If man didn’t know a simple grammar rule, he is a prime subject to humiliation. 


Knowing the correct usage of each words in a sentence is the first thing a writer should consider. At times, man is misunderstood through his writings because of incorrect sentence fragments and use of inappropriate words. Thus, CORRECT GRAMMAR is the main ingredient for a  GOOD WRITING. 

With these, I’ve realized that GRAMMAR is not something to be ignored. As I’ve said, man should not stop himself from learning. Reading books and other references will surely help my vocabulary skills. Having my errors corrected by someone with enough knowledge is better than to do nothing. Realizations of my mistakes are the key to improvement.

Lastly, the best way to improve myself is to continue writing. I will give my best in each sentences and I will never give up on learning more about grammar rules. 

NOW I COULD TRULY SAY...

ONE TEAM,ONE VICTORY: the product of fairness

“One of the greatest victories you can gain over someone is to beat him at politeness”

-Josh Billings

 Intramurals is really one of the busiest days in a school year. Being freed from school works, students face the challenge of the physical activities and many more. Competitiveness and self discipline were displayed by the TUMCSians all throughout the celebration.

OUR BEST FOR GOD'S GLORY!

The week started with a joint worship for the founding anniversary of the school. The next day, each student presented what they have prepared for the past few days. The categories were cheer dance, modern dance and ball room. Students displayed their hidden talents in dancing. Our class represented the JUNIORS in the cheer dance competition. All our hardships were paid off once the judges announced the results. And guess what, we emerged as WINNERS! We’re so happy that once again, we claim the throne. We knew we played a clean and fair game. It was our hardships that brought us up.

The third day was really awesome! It was the start of the ball games. III-Rebekah first proved themselves in basketball. They played well and so, they beat the seniors, specifically IV- Solomon. My beloved section, III-Leah also beat IV-David. Juniors really conquered the hard court! On the other hand,  III-Rachel also managed to win in volleyball. At the end of the day, JUNIORS were the champions both in volleyball and basketball. It was really a close fight between the Juniors and the Seniors.

There were also instances that when the fight gets so intense, players tend to have a FOUL. Supporters then complain that it was not their team’s fault but other’s. It only shows that some of us cannot accept defeat. Why? Because it’s easier to blame others for what we’ve done wrong than to admit it. This is strongly incorrect. Always remember that a true player knows when to accept defeat and proved to be the best in the most polite manner. A TRUE TUMCSian is also a TRUE PLAYER!

After the event, realizations came to me. The secret of the victories of the JUNIORS were these- UNITY, PERSEVERANCE,SPORTSMANSHIP and FUN! Unlike others, juniors still continued to yell and cheer for the players even if the chance of winning is on a 30/100 basis. We didn’t lose hope and continued to jump, clap, and shout for each single point we get. All the JUNIORS share their part in cheering for each other’s team even if we knew that only one of us should win. Above all, the players exhibit their very best in each sport which made this event successful. CAMARADERIE was seen in all of the teams. In the end, we all ended up smiling for the victories of each other. That’s the true meaning of friendship and sportsmanship.

OUR BEST FOR GOD’S GLORY!!!

The Silently Abused

Discrimination in the Twenty First Century, what do you think about this? Have you ever experienced it? It’s a very complicated topic often neglected in the society. Why? Because we make commentations without conclusions. We judge others without even knowing what’s deep inside them. Thus, without even our knowing, we hurt other people’s pride. Filipinos easily judge a person based on what they THINK about them, not on what they KNOW about that person. But seriously, have you ever tried to know something about someone?  It’s easy to say but hard to accomplish.

I was never a victim of discrimination and I knew a little about this topic. But in case it happen, I think I’m going to deal with it as an obstacle I need to overcome. I’m so tired of self pity! I don’t want to do it again. Through the years, I have learned to accept the trials given to me. I’ve learned to overcome it.  Then suddenly, these trials were changed to triumphs over imperfections. You may ask, why am I saying so much if I was never a victim of discrimination? It’s true that experiences are our best teachers. But not everyone who has experienced something knows a lot about a specific topic. Sometimes, observers are more intellectual and have the capacity to feel what others tried to impart in their simple glances of help, and smiles of hidden sadness. Discrimination is really a huge curse in the society. But what really is DISCRIMINATION? In my own words, I could say that these are the things normally said as a judgment about others. Awful words that hurt other people without even our knowledge. Sometimes, even if they knew, some people are just too blind to care. It’s because some of us found happiness in the illnesses of others.

All of us can be a victim, no one is an exemption. As part of life, hatred is a normal feeling if you’re a victim. You can hide your feelings from others but not from yourself. Sooner, if you don’t know how to handle your feelings, you will fall in the midst of self devastation. Worst, discrimination might eat your individuality.

I have learned that discrimination is a senseless topic. Why? Because if you have learned to accept yourself, criticisms will never be an issue in your life. No one is perfect! This world is not. All of us have hidden imperfections. The only thing we could do is this- ACCEPT, OVERCOME, and CHANGE for the better.

We should learn to reach deep within ourselves because it’s the bridge that will connect us to others. Differences should not    be a hindrance for us to touch each other's lives. It should be a way for us to understand that we are created differently but are all equal in the eyes of the LORD. 

God Bless YOU !!!

I lived it my WAY

I was born in a home filled with love, life and laughter. With stable financial needs and my pleasures within my reach, I thought life is nothing but an easy game. Something I could always play anytime of the day. A game with me as a winner and others playing roles like mushrooms on the road. Then now, I thought that these realizations are fantasies of a six years old way back nine years ago. Oh! That was almost a decade huh!

As time passed by, a lot of problems and obstacles changed my vision about life. It may not be as hard as others think but this really changed me. As of now, I could say that my experiences are my best teachers. It teaches me the perfection of simplicity. I’ve never knew what is life till I get out of my shell and tried to exist in a world outside my own. At first, it’s really tough. Things happened in the most unexpected way I could ever imagine. I came to the point that I asked myself what wrong I have done, and started to weep under my blanket. But as these trials continued, I learned to be tougher. I thought that weeping is a drama of endless pity. Tears are very precious and should be shed only for specials reasons. Besides, there are lots of things to be enjoyed. Life is a short time given to each individual. I should not waste it on childish ways. I thought I’m a lot better without my weakness but then I realize I could never get rid of it, because that's life! You can't be whoever you want to be. I've realized that it's better to be hated for what I am, than to be loved for what I'm not. I’ve learned to face each obstacle with my head up, no matter how painful it may be. I learned to stand on my own, believe in my abilities and trust myself a little bit more. At the end of the day, my pride is my best warrior and my dignity is my greatest protector .These are my years of self discovery. I wanted to know what’s more deep inside a fragile girl named Paula. Still, I know there’s still so much more in store. 

I would never exist as I am alone. Behind me are the people who continued to complete my life, accept my imperfections and most of all, love me without any hesitations. They are the most special gift more worth than gold. Truly, I could never imagine myself alone. I could live without  friends but not without my family. They are my fountain of love and support.

We are like chess being played. My mother serves as the board or base that supports each family member. No matter how hard we hit the board, it will just hurt silently without a word. That’s what my mother is. My father is the player who plans what is best for the family in any and every situation. He does the hardest work without a SINGLE COMPLAIN.

My siblings and I are the chess pieces for we are controlled by our parents. It is our duty to obey and abide to their rules. As long as we stay together we could never run out of action, JUST KIDDING!! I know… we could never go wrong. Even if we do, it will be an important part of my existence and I will be proud of it.

I guess it’s just the start of the road and there’s still a long way to go. No matter of how hard and dark the future may be, I will never lose hope. Life is truly an endless path. There’s no guarantee of what will happen in the future so the only thing we could do is this– FACE, ACCEPT AND LEARN!  

There’s so much more to say but I guess words are not enough to prove myself. I’m glad to share a part of my life with you. I hope to continue this long walk in a path lead by God. May we find love and laughter along God’s way. Thank you and God Bless.
