WITHOUT WORDS

I shouldn't have done all that
Should have pretend not to know
It's like I did not see it
It's like I could not see at all
You know
I should not have looked at you

I should have stayed farther
For me not to listen clearer
It's like I did not hear it
It's like I could not hear at all
I know
Why have I let myself to fall?

Without a word you made me know what love is
Without a word you made my heartbeat ceased
You made me hold my breath
When you taught me knowing faith
Faith just become slowly fade

Without a word the love's now leaving me
Without a word the love's abandoning me
Standing next to me
Running from me
Oh! Baby please do not leave me

You came without a word

Why does this pain is so bad
Continuing this hurting
Unfeeling all your presence
You're not hearing me, no more
Otherwise
It will be same just like before

Without a word you made me know what love is
Without a word you made my heartbeat ceased
You made me hold my breath
When you taught me knowing faith
Faith just become slowly fade

Without a word the love's now leaving me
Without a word the love's abandoning me
Standing next to me
Running from me
Oh! Baby please do not leave me

Without a word my tears start falling down
Without a word my heart is broken unbound

Without a word your love I am still longing
Without a word you smashed my heart in extreme
Transparent I've became
And foolish I have been
So I did cry a lot to the sky

Without a word I found myself alone
Without a word I found myself in doom
My heart was that surprised
When at final I realized
I made the story endings boomed

You came without a word

Without a word your love I met
Without a word only pain I get
In similar ground I still stand
In similar ground I felt so dumb
Coz' at end
It will be impossible to forget

Excited but Nervous..

I can't wait for my 1st summer vacation as a college student. I'm really missing the place where I've been since birth called "home". My parent's and my sister's laughs are always on my head which simply means that I am extremely wanting to be with them right now.

But I have to admit, if there's happiness expected, somehow, there are tests that should be passed on before any victories. It's last week of February. March is fast approaching, as well as the finals. My CSM subjects are excited to conduct final examinations and make students fall to their doomed places. That's so bad to know but with God's will and my willingness to finish college, I hope, I can make it. I can't wait to take my final exams but nervous because I'm not ready yet. I just want to go home.

=((

EXAMS plus ASSIGNMENTS plus REQUIREMENTS equal to a stressed STUDENT

I could be thankful enough I have this blogging activity because, at least, I can express and share how jaded I go.

Series of departmental exams I took recently and I'm not really feeling any additional quizzes to take as of now. But I couldn't call myself a college stud if I don't do those just so typical jobs of a student. Oh well, I must get satisfying grades so that somehow, I can make use Mama's and Papa's money that are sent to me and won't be shamefully going back home.

I'm quiet afraid I can't do my best in doing my term paper requirement because even my time on studying other subjects aren't enough. I hope Ma'am would be kinder and teach us how to make a proper term paper and go with its processes. Not just leaving us confused, thinking what to write. =(

UNITED, we stand... DIVIDED, we still stand!

Another group activity was held last Wednesday. We were divided and had another group mates and I had new friends. We weren't in the same course that's why we have not able to meet to discuss about the activity. With that consequence, we really wasn't ready for the presentation. Gladly to say, we still made it even though it was a rush. A rush yet everybody enjoyed and were challenged since the activity was really fun. We did the other way around which is not the usual because teacher Lynnie didn't had much the talk for the whole time but the whole B7-3 class criticizing each group.

I had a great time though I was a little bit ashamed for the little thing I only contributed to the group. I hope next time, I can do better.

More power to everyone!
=D

Time to start the Term Paper!

English II is all about writing. As it covers term paper writing, it also teaches us to make a one- stand claim that's strong and defend it that our belief is right.
We were asked by teacher Lynnie individually for our topic and thesis statement and she corrected us, gave some tips and pointers. She let us think how to make our statements improve and more preferable. It may be also her way to practice us for the incoming oral defense for our finals. "The term paper should be done at the end of February," she said. But we still have midterms.=( I hope I can make it. I don't care if I double time, which I really should, I just wish that my "Oh-I'll-do-that-later" ability won't be disturbing me.


God bless us all...=D

FUNNY THING, HUH..

We had an interesting activity in our English II class last Friday. It was a time - pressured group contest. Everybody participated since it was indeed needed. It was about a relay on writing a reference notes in APA style.
We were really pressured since we were just given limited time to get the information from a certain book or reference. We weren't familiar about the format, thus, we had a difficult time getting what is needed. We don't also strategized because everybody panics when the contest begins. In consequence, we didn't get good scores.
But the nicest part is that we had laughs, funny moments and bonding. Despite the not-so-good results, we still learn from the activity.

HEAVY WEEK, ISN'T IT?

A blog task this week was given last Wednesday and it was to write a reaction for any controversial issues on - going within the country or the world. Firstly, I'm really tired to do anything since quizzes were almost everyday that week and upcoming exams are really heavy loaded at my calendar. It's very tiring to think for it, huh?

But I tried my best to make my reaction blog as a past time so I won't feel any pressure doing it and I can make it easily. Thank goodness, it works. I have able to make a write - up.


(Please do read and comment my reaction blog and I'll assure to comment on yours, too.^^)

MAGUINDANAO MASSACRE... savage political crime

The world really spins. If, sometimes, it becomes improved, it also turns to be worse as equally how it amends. People are getting selfish, uncontrolled and greedy. "Thou shalt not KILL!", a 5th commandment from God but as we have seen these days, people are being killed just as simple as killing a chicken for a meal.

Last November 23, 2009, the whole world has been shaken for the terrible news from Maguindanao - a certain place in Mindanao, Philippines. Souls flew immediately right after they were fired by the unknown gunmen who really waited for them at the particular place , not really far to where they're suppose to be going. According to the news, Genalyn Tiamzon - Mangudadatu, who was one of the unlucky victims, was on her way to file a nomination of her husband's. With her are some relatives and journalists who will be witnessing for the filing of candidacy of Esmael Mangudadatu to fight for the governorship against Datu Unsay Mayor Andal Ampatuan Jr. Ampatuan has been elected governor three times previously, always unopposed - maybe because of the fear that lies ahead whoever will contest against him. A clear example was that the Maguindanao Massacre.

Justice. What does that word useful to, anyway? A third - world nation that is starving from good leaders and financially unstable can really be moved by the power of guns and money. As what I've heard from a teacher, Ampatuan is even illiterate, a can't - read - can't - write type of person and yet he had stepped on that hierarchy of political position? Poor people of Maguindanao. I even weren't aware of any bad traits to them not until this heinous crime has been made. Dead bodies were even up to 57 in number found and they were viciously graved using a back hoe for the rapid burying. "They were piled on top of each other. It looked like as if they were buried hurriedly.", Regional police commander Chief Superintendent Josefino Cataluna said. It's good to know that when a witness appeared and pointed Ampatuan as the leader of the well - planned killings, he readily submitted himself to the authorities from General Santos City by a helicopter to Manila. At first, watching at the news, I was really curious why he came to the public immediately. As far as I know for a typical suspected people, they would use all their money to escape from the country, as much as to go to other planet, but he made the contrary. I'm just wondering what kind of tactic is this because it's even impossible to believe that he really wants to clean his name that he didn't do the foolish act or claiming that early that he led the bullet - ridden bodies found at that area. (to lessen the years he has to pay at the prison?) But even his most brutal death is not enough if he really is the responsible for the massacre. God knows best how he's going to pay for it. I hope this unforgettable nightmare be a lesson to everyone and learn to play righteously and fair in politics.

They said it's clan rivalries that tops all these. The Mangadadatus and Ampatuans are enemy and in Muslim culture, they do the "redo" or "ubusan ng lahi", the one left alive wins. That's common in Mindanao. I maybe won't be surprised for this news but I think it's too much and should really be paid an attention. Journalists are really disrespected with their unjust deaths and a threat for everyone journalists to be. Elections in the Philippines are usually marred by violence, where security forces are battling communist rebels, Islamic radicals and clan rivalries.

WHAT IS A THESIS STATEMENT?

Prelims on English was finally over. Every day seems fast. Sooner, we will be having midterms and eventually, finals. First day of meeting, Ma'am told us about the final exam for English II which will be a defense for our term paper. So, now, we're obliged to think for our topic and thesis statement for the preparation of our requirement to pass the subject.

A thesis statement should be a sentence, a complete thought, an idea. It should be clear and specific. It should lead to a paper of an appropriate length. A thesis statement should be supportable. Lastly, it should be interesting and worth writing.

Our requirement is a ten- page term paper connected to our field or course. At first, I really don't know anything about Metallurgical Engineering since this isn't my choice. But because I'm starting to enjoy everything around me, despite the ignorance that lives in me about the course, I stayed. So, it's hard for me thinking for a topic plus structuring a sentence for the thesis statement that it should be expandable. Each of us should be approved by our teacher to start our term paper the soonest. My topic is Metallurgical Engineering jobs abroad. My first thesis statement was rejected because it wasn't right for some reasons. So, the next day, I passed another one and thank God, it was accepted. But actually, my statement was corrected and improved. Well, in spite of it, I was happy because another tiring week had passed.

THE BRIDGEMASTER

We are sinners because we are imperfect. We get ambitious, proud and stubborn. But if we rectify ourselves and renew our faith , He, instead gives his endless love and mercy as He forgives us and receives us wholly again and again.

A father typically loves his son very much but when it's versus a group of people, he would just sacrifice and endure the heartache of how his son is feeling the pain. The blissfulness of the crowd which are lonely, angry, selfish, hurting and addicted against the benign kid who is destined to pay for their wickedness. Hopeless people. Pitiful child. He chose the multitude. How great is the Father's heart!

Unmeasurable love does He bears for us even more than His Son. When we weep, He finds medications to treat us, to stop us from crying. When He has observed that we trudge, He would help us for He promised that His yoke He will give is easy and His burden is light. He shall cast the loads from us especially those that are heavily laden. He shall be our instant redeemer.

His endeavor to be our Father is great and yet who are we to be sacrificed with? "For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son", a verse from the Holy Bible, John 3:16 is vividly intending that even if how hard are the circumstances we are presently taking, He will save us from the cliff of death and gives us another day to fix any damage. Especially, when we lament and our heart is in Him, His will assuredly will grant us what we needed best. We may not understand everything directly, but as time goes by, we will appreciate and learn to accept what His gifts really mean. He is always good to us even 'though sometimes we turn from Him and establish our own ways.

Staggering in road, meandering then becomes a jerk afterward, so we beg to Him, we pray hard to Him and promised not to do it again and so He forgives us. But some instances are really playful and unpredictable. They give us temptations where we are the preys so we become the victims of the bait, for sure. But He still give us another chance. His works are greatly astounding but what's more amazing is His big heart that beats for us. Thus, let Him be our reason to live from now on, in return.

NOT A READER?, DEFINITELY NOT A WRITER!

"If you read and read and read and read and read, then you are a writer", our teacher once said.

Reading is vital. Ignorance should not really exist anymore and exactly has no address in this savage world. If you don't practice reading, you might become the poorest thing in town, worse than a rat. But if you get yourself involve totally in learning things, wandering and inquisitive about the surroundings, be ready for astonishment in revealing the universe, itself. Isn't that more interesting?

To be a writer, you should have a lot of experiences, reflections and readings to be resourceful and to have an effective persuading ability in your write- ups. As every day goes by, you get amazed from your daily knowings and so let thy readers also say "WOW!" and be move by your article. It's nice to know that someone has gained something from you. It's another way of helping a fellow. If you made anyone change for better after reading your piece, it is then a great pleasure, an achievement, an abstract for trophy. You're now an inspiration.

I am not a good writer and honestly, I often read. But with English II subject which is requiring us to write and write and write, I guess, I had good results and I think I'm loving it!
