IN DIMENSIONS

For the past years that the College of Pescar had it shows in the Cultural Center, it never fails to amaze me everytime. From the past, like the Cuts and Pieces, the Shadows from last year and now, the In Dimensions, I have seen that the college had been producing well talented artists and world class performances show casing our very own ethnic dances as well as our folk dances.

This year, they showcased dances on the Ethnic Suit, Rural Suit, Social Suit, Contemporary, The Randalla Ensemble and The Himig Kanluran also.

In the Ethnic dances the ones that I noticed were the Yakan Pangalay, Banga, Pag Apir and Kiniki. I see that the dancers are really serious on how the portrait their dance. Their every move is graceful, their every step is precise. I see that they have put so much effort in perfecting their dance in order to have a great performance and awe the audience.

While in the Maria Clara Suit, I remembered the Tambourines, Paso Doble, Cuertos de Capiz, and Habanera Bontonelyo. And yet again these dances were as graceful as they should be and dancers themselves brought meaning to our folk dances to a whole new level.

I like the Contemporary dances for it catches the attention of the people. The way they make the people “Kilig” or how they make the people laugh in the “Babae po Ako” part. Truly it was a great performance.

Last but not the least is the dance from the West Crew. Hip hop dance is always a remedy after a very serious dance/performance. And seeing them dance in front makes me want to dance also. It only shows that the people in Pescar are really talented and flexible not to mention the people from the Himig Kanluran also the Randalla Ensemble.

All I say is Hands down to all of you! A great performance indeed and hoping that next year, there is still a show like this and that they keep on inspiring people and sharing their talents.

The last horaa
P.E. Day dilemma

Frustrations, hard work, sweat, blood, tears and a little bit of quarrelling paved its way for us Nursing students to work our assess off despite the hectic schedule and back breaking requirements in order to have a presentable piece to show during our P.E Day

I was afraid for the past few days before our performance. We haven’t practiced unlike the other colleges and I knew that we were a big mess. What can I do? I’m not even a folk dancer but I know that if we only helped each other, we can push it through.

We practiced day and night after our duty days, we had difficulty in our other classmates for some misunderstanding and fights had been made. It was a frustrating week indeed.

And only a day left before the said performance, we finally came into our senses and made our mind that we need to pour everything we’ve got for Sir Jemuel gave us another chance and another hope to redeem ourselves from last year’s performance. (Phew!)

And who would have known, we were the last performers. We dance Pandango na Tapis and we were a little bit…er…let’s say not that good. ;) Though we did our best and I know that I did have fun.

It was a great experience. Folk dance is really a tough dance but can be appreciated if one will just perform it well. I hope this performance will strengthen our batch, especially in making decisions and in dealing with each other. I know that there are a lot of conflicts for now, but I know we’ll suffice.

This experience will always be remembered.

Life goes on, even if you don't want it to.

Its been a year. A year of fake smiles, insincere laughs, cold hugs, and empty words. I've been a walking dead-man.

I've been wandering around, searching for answers, draining myself from schoolwork and eventually just going on with my life without even making a hell out of every little thing I do. I've been numb, isolated, left out, blinded and emotionless.

Its all because of the pain I feel inside of me. A pain that nobody would understand. Maybe because I'm the middle child. I get this a lot. Im the one who gets left out. The one who is always on the side.

Even though I may not be always in the picture, I've seen everything. I've seen every heartbreaking event there is. I've seen the imperfections, the mistakes and the absence of love. And right now, I cant fathom this pain I'm feeling inside. That feeling of being so numb and dying at the same time. Depression? I might even think of suicide. But no, I know I'm stronger than this. I know sooner or later, THIS people will come to their senses and realize that we need to pick our selves where we left them.

It pains me a lot to know that I cant do anything to solve this problem. I am nothing...and so I can never remove this pain I'm feeling. And then I realize..life goes on, even if you don't want it to.

When will this pain stop? When will I find that peace again? That feeling of being loved, of being able to see the people i cherish the most being happy? When? And why did this ever happen? I know you may think that I'm just being overacting but you don't know my story and this is far beyond what you can imagine.

My story, life, pain and suffering are different from other people. And no matter what happens people will never understand, and this pain is just another word to them. Another understatement.

REFLECTION PAPER

“Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, with thy whole soul and with thy whole strength: and for love of God thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.”

My understanding about St. Augustine’s theory is all about God. And to be “godly” one should love whole heartedly, be pure in any sense without hatred in your heart, passion in everything that you do, being kind to yourself and to others and to love God as your one and only, “God”.

St. Augustine revolved around the church, around his faith into God and his belief that God is the most powerful being on earth. He is the beginning and the end, the reason everyone is alive and the reason why we have a purpose in this earth. And our main purpose is to know Him, worship Him, and Love Him above all things.

"It is beyond doubt that the one cause of fear is either that we will lose what we love after attaining it or that, despite all our hopes, we will never attain it at all." (De div. quaest. 33).

Every Man wants to be happy in this world. Who isn’t? St. Augustine proceeds with questioning what a person should obtain to achieve happiness since happiness is a matter of having what one wants in order to be happy. The main theme of Augustine’s thought on happiness concerns our vulnerability to the material things of this world. We are consumed by our wants than our needs, that’s why we tend to be happy when we get these desires of the body. The money, the fame, the glory and wealth are some of these things. But in truth, they are not everlasting. They may fade but at the end of the day, we were never really happy, we may have been happy, but for a short while. For one to be happy, he/she should focus on one main goal, and that is to love God and despite everything, when one accepted God in his/her life, one can finally find peace and when one has finally found it, he/she can finally be happy.

Current Mood: K

Why are people always underestimating us. Always belittling us. Always making us feel so...so INCAPABLE!

Right now I feel like bursting! Exploding into tiny pieces and never come back! Is it because I'm a teenager and my hormones are invading my body?! Or is it because of the people around me too?! I can't even explain why I'm so hot headed. I mean, I'm good when people are good towards me. But this is just one piece of Crap! One gigantic piece of Arse! You heard (read) it right! Arse as in Ass!

Why are people always making fun of me?! They think they are always better and can really step on you! But reality check! The world doesn't revolve around you! Why do they always think they are superior?! Just because you're older, bigger or smarter?! I dont even believe you're smart! Pfft!

Current Mood: K

Yes, I'm calm now...Sorry for all those exclamation points and that dramatic feeling. This is the only way I can express what I feel. When I really feel like crying. When my world is breaking down. Im a teenager. A kid. A young adult. But please dont underestimate me. Im only human and I have feelings too. You cant expect me to be all too perfect when you cant even be one. Seeing you are already an adult.
One day, I'll show YOU!!!

Sorry. This is my blog and this is the only place where I can pour out my emotions. One crappy teenager I am. Bear with my, or leave me.

Dissecting Little Hello Kitty.

Im sorry guys! You might puke after seeing this post.

But here it goes!

As you can see, we dissected Little Hello Kitty during our Anatomy and Physiology class.

Love knows no bound.

Gwen Stefani - 4 in the Morning

This song is really catchy and it has a real meaning in it not like those other songs all about nonsense things. Though we know what this song is all about. I'm just emphasizing the message it gives. It's about Love.

When you love someone or when you're in love, the two should be fair. One has to work with the other. Not just a one - sided love affair. Right? When you love someone you also have to be cautious. Don't give your 100% though you also need to show to your partner that you appreciate everything. If it's meant to be, it will be, but if not, then let it fall as time guarantees it. It's all about understanding the one you love, giving your time, effort, second chances and forgiveness. Love knows no bound, and it will conquer any evil there is. If not for a special someone, it maybe from a friend or also from your family. :D
