I THOUGHT I FOUND MY BROTHER

I grew up longing for a love and company of a brother.
Maybe I was 4 or 5 years old then when I saw my father shedding tears furtively while reading a letter. I didn't bother to ask my father nor my mother about it. I knew the letter came from my grandmother and my tita who are miles away from us. That moment when I saw him cried didn't matter to me. Not until I heard my parents talking about a boy named "Butch". Since then I could always hear that name. Everytime our relatives come to visit us or we come to visit them I could always hear from them the dialogues, "Kamusta na si Butch?", " Nagsusulat ba siya sa inyo?" or "Siguro malaki na siya ano?" So many times they talked about that boy and it became a big question in my mind then.

Little by little, through the stories I heard from my family and some relatives everything was made clear to me and I had knew who "Butch" is in our life, in my life.

He is my older brother,the oldest of the four of us. He was adopted by my mother's sister who can not bear a child because her husband is impotent and she too is incapable of getting pregnant. My parents expected that they could still have a baby boy after him but it did not happen. My parents are never again blessed of having a son but rather three daughters.

The time when I knew that I have a brother I began to long for him.
I understand why I preferred to have boy than girl playmates when I was a child. Why I chose to make friends with boys when I was in Elementary. Why I feel great and secured when I have guy friends, and I really appreciated it when they let me call them "Kuya". Why I am very attached to boys who show concern and kindness to me.

There were no times that I did not wish to see my brother. Envy, bitterness,and jealous were all I felt when I was in Elementary everytime I could see the older brothers of my classmates went to our school to look for them and pick them after school.

There was a time in my life that I became hopeless of seeing my brother. I had thought seeing him is already a dream. But I never get tired of praying and begging God for it.
And again for how many times, I have proven the generosity and sensitivity of God to our needs. He answered my prayer not by giving back to us my brother but by using two individuals who fulfilled my dream.

Two Jesuit Volunteers went here at Koronadal with a mission of organizing the youth volunteers of pathways to strenghten their spirit of volunteerism in which they succesfully did. They were with us for 10 months and for that short span of time we shared a lot of things and a lot of laughters too.
Affectionately, we used to call them "Kuya Jay" and "Kuya Joe". With the other volunteers, we have made a lot of memories with them that are worth to treasure for.

For how many times we ate our meals together and after that sometimes we would watch a movie or have an idle walk in the street. Sometimes, after work or if we have nothing to do we would play our favorite past time the charades ( kuya jay and kuya joe are really good in it!!).

They have imparted us a lot of bright ideas and insights. They inspired me to continue extending help to individuals whom I know I am able to help. They made me fully realize that happiness and self-fulfillment in life can not be achieved by making yourself rich in money and other material things but rather making yourself rich in inspiring and touching other people lives.

I thank God, though in just 10 months, He made me feel the great feeling of having big brothers which I never experienced before. With Kuya Jay and Kuya Joe I found my lost older brother.

It's not only me that they have inspired and it's not only my life that they have touched but a lot of lives and a lot people.

Their mission has ended. I do not know if I could still see them again. But though they are gone the memories they left and the lot of things and learnings they have shared will always linger. And I will always live with it.

I know I will miss a lot of things and I will miss them a lot. But I know that there is no sense of grieving too much for their lost for I believe, someday, somewhere our paths would cross again.

As what Kuya Jay said, some things in life should be ended so as to give begginings to more beautiful things.

A Masquerade

It was indeed a night of fashion of the Junior and Senior students of the College of Education. It was a dream come true for some, who always dream of being a princess, who looks serene in a starlight- paneled gown, high-heeled strap shoes, genuine glittering jewelries, walking down the aisle toward a colossal ballroom filled with laughter and voices of gentlemen and ladies.

Around 7pm our prom started. It was not as grand as what I have imagined and I may not be wearing a luxuriant gown for it, but then the exciting and memorable parts are still in it, like the candle lighting, community singing, dancing...

The Juniors and Seniors entered the gymnasium at their best.They all looked alluring with their gowns and long sleeves. And they looked more attractive with their distinctive masks. Everyone was excited for the program to start. They were all eager to hear the class history, last will and testament, class prophecy, and of course no one would like to miss the candle lighting and the exchanging of souvenirs, and the disco!!

Set of emotions drawn-out from the faces of the seniors as they were reminiscing some memories as one of them delivered their class history. Everybody got shocked and surprised when their class prophecy was revealed. NDMU should be proud because after 15 years, one of the national legislators, the congressman, the governor, the mayor, a member of sangguniang bayan of this province, the most prominent men and businessmen of this country, high-paid and famous celebrities, models, artists, and well- respected and honored principals and teachers will be coming from this institution specifically from the batch 2006.
But there's nothing more exciting than when the last will and testament was read, it is the part wherein the seniors will turn over their titles to the juniors, like who will be the next Mathematician, the next can-be-trusted council officers, the next ever-requested-hosts, the next campus-head-turner, or the next Newton-Einstein-Galileo-like...Guess what, me with my barkada will inherit the latter title {hope we deserve to have it..:) }

Before the candle lighting and the exchanging of souvenirs started some were recognized and awarded as best in gown, best in attire for men, best in mask, star of the night, and couple of the night, which happened that my two closest friends who were so sweet and looked as best-pair while hosting got it. Our promenade was ended by a disco, where some had the spirit and in the mood of dancing.

The party was over but I know its memories will always linger and it wil be one of the highlights of my stay here in NDMU.

....AT LAST..

i hav my own blog now..:)

anyway, this day calls for a celebration for a special personal reason..:)

just wanted to share wat i had yesterday...

I really had a bad quiz in Educational psychology, I don't know who to blame.., our teacher doesn't give a lecture before he gave the quiz, a pre-test he justified!!, but actually he announced it a week before. I admit I didn't study the topic seriously for I thought after all it's just a pre-test. But he said it will be recorded as our first quiz for this finals..
Is it fair?!

But it's okey, if there's a pre-test there would be a post-test.and before it will come I wil see to it that my brain is fully loaded of Piaget, Vygotsky, chomsky, Erickson, and Gardner's theories (hopefully, my brain has enough space to accomodate them all..hehe..).

Mr. electronics was so kind enough yesterday to give us a break to prepare more before meeting mr. Zener!.(you know, to avoid breakdown!!:)

actually, today i'm still mourning ( i hope i'v used the right word..hehe..) over my damaged mobile phone.! I accidentally dropped it last night on the rocky and dusty road between the soccer and baseball field while we were in our way to mr. livelihood..huhuhu..!!
I really feel pity for my phone. it's repaired already 3 times since I bought it, and now will be its 4th..i hope it can still survive..:)
