A Week of Preparations

This week, some of my classmates were pulled out from classes because they will review or prepare for the contests they will join. John Paul, Nino Rey, and Aries are preparing for a Science contest. Lara, Vhil, Nicole, and Camille are reviewing for a Mathematics contest. Maedenne is preparing for an Essay Writing contest and Robert, and Lance are preparing for the jazz chant. Some of our teachers are also busy in reviewing the contestants that is why they were not able to attend our class and just gave us seatworks. Only some of our teachers are attending our classes. When I am done doing the seatworks given to us, I am busy reading a book for our book report in Filipino III. I am trying to finish reading it as soon as possible because I
just borrowed it from my classmate and he gave me a month to finish reading this book. The book was entitled "Ang Tundo Man May Langit Din" and it was written by Andres Cristobal Cruz. This week, I was also preparing for the Regional Youth Conference of YFC that was held in Lucban, Quezon last October 24-25, 2009. Overall, this week was happy and fun.

Typical Week

This week was just an ordinary week. For me, nothing very special happened for this week. As usual, we had seatworks, assignments, and discussions with our subjects. Some of my classmates were also excused for many reasons. Most of their reasons is that they are preparing for contests that will be held soon. Wednesday this week, the third year students were given a chance for joining in the Liriko Club. I tried my luck and joined this audition prepared by the Liriko officers. As a group, we sang a song from Youth for Christ. This song was "Your Love is Extravagant". When the officers told us to sing individually, I sang anothet YFC song. This song was entitled "Adonai". I was happy when one of the officers of the Liriko Club told me that I passed their prepared audition and I became a member of the Liriko Club. This week was fun and happy for me.

Exam Week for Me

Because I was preparing for the WCSU meet last week, I was not able to take the periodic tests so I took it this week. It's a good thing that some of my teachers didn't make me take the exams for their subjects. They just took the highest grade of my classmate and that became my score too. In MAPEH, I was exempted in the periodic test because I was a player of Table Tennis for the West Cavite Sports Unit (WCSU) meet. I also tried to adjust myself so that I can cope up to the lessons I've missed because of being excused from my classes when I was preparing for the WCSU meet. It was quite hard for me to cope up with our lessons specially when there are many lessons that I have missed. Good thing my classmates are there to entertain many of my questions about our lessons and they let me borrow their notebooks so that I can fully understand the lessons that I have missed. Overall, I think this week gives me the "nosebleed" because of the reviewing and coping up to my lessons.

The Devastating Storm Ondoy

After the WCSU meet, I have relaxed. This week, the devastating happening occurred in the Philippines, particularly in Marikina and Cainta, Rizal. The storm named "Ondoy" entered the area of responsibility of the Philippines with a danger for people living in Luzon. Everyone was feeling bad about what happened with our countrymen. Many have died because of drowning because of the great flood particularly in Marikina and Rizal. My cousins live in Cainta, Rizal that's why we were very worried about them. They live in Vista Verde and we saw in the news that that subdivision was severely damaged by the strong storm. Because of this happenings, we did not have classes last Monday. I was really wondering why our school did not suspend classes last Tuesday although all the schools in Maragondon suspended their classes. We were so happy that our classes were suspended from Wednesday up to Friday. Those days, I became quite busy because we did our projects. The typhoon victims were really pitiful that is why I really wanted to donate my clothes and food to them as soon as possible. It's a good thing my mother is conducting a medical mission for the victims that is why I was able to give some of my clothes for the victims to use.
