GSP Camp

Since elementary I’m already joining camps and leadership trainings. This high school, I’m so honored that I’m one of the GSP staff in our school. I’m the secretary and I’m trying my best to do the tasks given to me.

This year’s GSP theme is “Empowering Girls Make A Difference”. On the first day of the camp, the girls registered and I’m the one assigned in the registration table with Mrs. Arceo. Celine and Jezza helped us because we can’t manage that if we’re only two. After the registration, the investiture proper started. The girl scouts fall in line according to their patrols with their sponsors beside them. After the investiture, everyone listened to the speech of Hon. Irene Bencito. She delivered an inspirational message that touches everyone’s heart. She made each girl proud of themselves. We ate lunch after listening to Hon. Irene Bencito. I ate with the other GSP staff and Mam may, our adviser. Everyone is like praying for this camp to be successful. There’s a game after lunch and then the orienteering. I had so much fun. I can feel that everyone is happy and they’re enjoying it. Everything went fine and we’re glad. The remaining time was used for the preparation of each troupe’s presentation on the campfire.

Campfire is like what everyone’s been waiting for. The camp wouldn’t be a camp without this! A pastor gave inspirational messages and words of God which made everyone realize how really great God is. He showed some clips and read some verses from the Bible. After the inspiring messages, everyone’s excited though quite nervous for their presentations. They presented what they had prepared. All of them, including us, the staff, did a great job. The first day was a tiring day and by 10:00 pm, everyone should be inside their quarters, resting, except for the staff. We stayed awake until 2 am! We did some important things but we enjoyed staying up late.

The next day, we had a morning exercise with Mam May being the leader. After that, we ate our breakfast and then had a session, a lecture about cervical cancer. A doctor explains everything about the said cancer. After the session, the moment of truth came, I mean, the awarding! We’ve awarded the best troupe with special awards.

We’re very thankful that everything went well and we’re so relieved nothing bad occurred. :]

2010 Semestral Break

Too much studying and no vacation make the students lose their will on learning. They’ll feel so bored at school thinking that why do they really have to study, why do they need to do all the things regarding school, and why don’t they even have a break. They are all dying to rest their minds and body, rest from examinations, recitations, projects and everything! Semestral break or what we call “sembreak” for short is what we’ve all been waiting for! It is time to rest and enjoy! Wohoo! Every second should be maximized and enjoyed!

On the day before the sembreak it’s like every one can’t wait to see the minute hand to point on 12 while the hour hand on the number 5. That only means that school is over, though not totally over but it’s like a long break, a semestral break! Time for us to be relaxed! No pressures and no problems. I love the fact that I don’t need to get up so early in the morning and prepare for school. But I hate the fact that I actually don’t have money to spend because there’ll be no classes therefore, I don’t have allowance! Haha.

This 2010 semestral break was so memorable for me. A lot of things happened, more good times than bad. I had the time to bond with my friends and family. Everyday, I feel like everything was perfect, no problems at all. Love is in the air. :] Whenever I’ll get out of my bed, I can’t stop smiling thinking that it will make the day better. Everyday, I’m hanging out with my family and sometimes with my friends. I can’t wait to do some sleepovers and swimming with my friends. We love doing those. I can still remember one night, my friends and I went swimming with some of our new friends, I was so happy that night. School was not in my mind that time. My mind was only focused with my friends. Everyone was laughing like it is the end of the world! Haha. I can feel that all of them are enjoying and I’m happy for them. Picture – taking, of course, it can’t be forgotten. Lots of photos were taken. Our big smiles were captured showing that we were really enjoying the night. Before the night ends, all of us cleaned ourselves and prepared our beds. After that, some slept already and some went out, those who don’t wanna sleep yet including me. Some of them went walking near the pool, some played in the playground and some just sit and talk. Me, I just sit and talk to a new friend, actually a new special friend. That made my day complete. I’m so comfortable talking to him. He made our conversation interesting. We talked about our goals in life and other stuffs. I’m happy with him. He made the whole occasion perfect and complete for me, actually he really made the whole semestral break wonderful for me. :]

A lot of other things happened during the semestral break but one day isn’t enough to tell all of those. But I can say that I had a very memorable sembreak, so happy, wonderful, perfect! It’s awesome! :] 

Dark Room

            Good parents, check, good education, check, good life, check, good friends, super check! My life is almost perfect. I have lots of friends, good friends. Friends who are always there for me, giving advices when I have problems, helping me do things I can’t do on my own. At first, I thought all of my friends are true, I thought they’ll be there for me always and they’ll support me in anything that’ll make me happy. But, I’m wrong, totally wrong. Not all of them are true, not all of them want me to be happy.

            Intruders! Some of them are intruders and I hate them! Why do they need to intervene and decide things for me tho I’m not happy with it? They are just my friends and not my parents! They don’t have to decide everything for me. Yes, I admit that sometimes I need their opinions but not all the time! I also have to decide personal things all by myself! I also need some space. Not all the time they can make a decision for me. What if I don’t like it? What if I’m not happy with their decision? What if I want to be free?

            Do you know that my personal life was so affected because of your selfishness? You guys are so selfish! I thought you want me to happy, but, I’m wrong again! You want to be happy; you decide things which will benefit only you and not me. You don’t care about my feelings! I don’t want you to be my friend anymore if you’re like that.

            But I’m thankful because I learned a new important lesson in my life which will help me be out of this dark room. We have to choose the right friend. A friend who will be with you always, leading you to the right path. A friend who can make you happy.
