I See CHRISTMAS!!!

The expressions on the people's faces around me never seemed this bright. It seemed to be so jolly and there are no traces of being dull. I tried to read what it, and it's something that tells me of a time that they have so longed for.... and now that time has come! Oh yeah. the message is now clear to me, it's Christmas! The Seasons of joy has come yet, again!!!

After all the tragedies our country had endured, I never thought how we managed to give the world a hopeful smile still. Christmas has that magic i suppose, that every people during this Season grow in their hearts an amazing joy. And, for the 14 Christmas seasons I had, that magic had not spared me. (I have enjoyed all of my Christmas seasons!!!) I always liked how the children sing their christmas carols though annoyed a bit by their missing lyrics, but listening to them is such a great... FUN! :P And, I am like the most excited person in the world whenever my cousins come to our province on Christmas; I was certain that they have brought gifts waiting for us. :D

But, among the reasons why I enjoyed celebrating Christmas is that I'm always reminded of God's ultimate love when He gave His Son and open the Heaven's gate for us. It always feels like, I have that assurance of having God beside me, guiding me in each step I take in this world. And, I think remembering this LOVE is the THING about Christmas.

And so things are now clear indeed, Christmas has come, yet I know that soon it will pass away again. But, I'll try not to let go of the Christmas Season even if time tries to shake it off from my heart. I'll keep the Christmas spirit and spread it to the people smiling around me. And, in that way, maybe and I hope so.... Christmas Day can be Everyday!!!

I Will Miss November!

"I don't wanna miss a thing!...." This would seem to be a perfect theme song for my November. And if you are intersted why (hope you are :] ) let me tell you through this post...
I have to leave our classroom so often. I have missed a lot of assignments, projects, lessons and PEOPLE ;) I cannot certainly bring those classes back, even though I wanted it so bad. But, missing these things did not become a reason to spend my November with a lonely heart, I absolutely enjoyed the month just as how I enjoyed the song!

I went to sooo many competitions this month. Some of them were of Science, TLE and general info. These things caused me to leave the classroom so frequently. But, hey nobody can tell that it's not worth missing a class; I always managed to secure in all these contests a top and definitely an elusive spot.

Aside of all these success though, someone very special to us had left our school. This so far, could be the biggest MISS in our high school life. Our Ma'am Jo-c retired from teaching. Of the five fruitful months that we had, we have enjoyed her care, affection and if we could only bring her back to school we would, by all means. Because we can't help but miss her humor, her talent and the way she teaches that darn math. (And, darn she makes the subject look so easy (: )

But, behind all of these misses, there's one thing that I hadn't missed... for sure; it's the experience. I realized that these experiences were the real kind of lesson. And these lessons that i gained sounded so synonymuously with the Values Month Theme, "Pagpapatibay ng Pagkataong Pilipino: Tugon sa hamon ng Panahon. Indeed these experiences gave me much of mental and physical strengthening. It taught me how to react more effectively when things go tricky. November made me a more mature person.

November '09 might have passed, but the memories we shared shall never fade in my mind away. And, I am so looking forward for the next one, with more twists and turns perhaps, in my college life. =)
