* I had to right this as soon as I got home. The blog entries for Buwan ng Wika will be written tomorrow. :)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I squeezed myself through the screen gate of Veritas Parochial School. I didn't want to harm anyone, I just wanted to find a dry palce where I could stay until the rain lifts up.

But maybe staying outside and the possibility of being caught in the flood and it's current would have been a much better decision that the one I made.

When I finally got in the school, I was met with screams of the students. Students which I have deduced were high school students.

Some I saw stood on their seats while others screamed. This weren't just girls but i saw boys too.

Well what else could a rat do in the particular situation. Ofcourse only one thing and that is run.

I ran till I reached a multi-colored floor. it was next to the wall. I stopped for a while figuring out what to do next then I saw a man with a dustpan in hand.

He forced me to it using the wall and a plastic bottle. At first I didn't want to, I tried to climb up the dustpan's handle but couldn't because he steadied me with the bottle.

In the end it turned up alright. After my misshap in the school, and dealt with screaming students, I finally found a dry place to stay.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hahaha. I made a story. I'm not sure what happened to the rat after it was captured by the janitor but I hoped it found a nice place to stay until the rain stops.

It was raining hard at our dismissal today August 26, 2008 at 4. So hard the floods began to trap us inside.

So I waited at out cafeteria with the other high school students because the elementary were dismissed earlier.

Honestly, the students screamed their lungs out in the cafeteria this afternoon at around 4 because of the rat.

I know its a sewer rat because of it's size and color. Big and Black.

It was fun actually.

Martin and I were talking when Niko a freshmen, said that their was a rat near the old gate. So at first we were like ok no big deal.

But it was a big deal because the rat found a way inside. I studied the scene after the incident. It chewed a hole in the gate's screen and that's how it got in.

When the rat finally got inside, screamed were heard. Some stood on their seats. Martin and I remained seated in ours. Martin even said, "Tingnan natin."

So we stood up and saw the rat cornered on the wall. It fought but still it was captured.

Then the students regained their composure and started talking again with one another.

It was actually pretty funny.

"This is the best day of my entire life."

I quoted my classmate. He said this last August 20, 2008 at 11 a.m. when our adviser, Ms. A told us that classes are suspended from 12 noon onwards.

Alright maybe I exaggerated what he really said but the meaning is the same because when Ms. A told us about the suspension we all exclaimed in delight!.

Now I reminisce.

Suspenison of classes is a rare thing especially if it happens when your already in school and half the day is over.

It's fun actually when the teacher announces it. Because the second it leaves her mouth the shouts of joys and delight drown her other words.

I remember when I was a 5th Grader in myschool and I remember we were having our English class with Ms. Jo and then the school administrator called her out of our classroom byt hen we already knew what she was about to say when we heard the screams of the other class.

Suspension of classes is much more fun when your in elementary and in high school than when it is in college. And in college, it doesn't happen that often that in the elementary and high school department.

We were practicing in the gymnasium of our school when Ms. A told us about the weather and we just got out of control with joy.

Not that I hate school but a little bit of rest and relaxation was very much needed because of the previous weeks test.

Whew.

A lot of people expect a lot from the graduating batch.

When I wasn't a senior, I expected a lot from the Seniors I grew up with. they were the ones that were supposed to take command. they were the ones who were supposed to be a model we will follow.

But now that I am Senior, i realize that it is hard to fill in the expectations of so many. I believe I can pass through the expectations of people from me. I just never really expected that it was hard.

Seniors are the main models of the school. They are the leaders. They are the Ates and Kuyas of the other students.

But aside from those things they are also students who do have a lot of difficulties too. People expect that since you're graduating you're are the oldest students you are more mature. more intelligent and more responsible.

We are in sense all of those things. But to concentrate on those expectations and to be able to concentrate on stuides and responsibilities takes a lot of effort from a person which makes everyone go home tired, exhausted.

But what I say to those challenges, bring it on!! This is my last year and I plan to make the best out of it!

Well we all know that the month of may is the month for mothers. Since we celebrate mother's day in this month.

In my family it has a double treat because not only is it mother's day for the month of may it is also the month of my mom's birthday.

And since it is my summer with nothing to do, I accompanied her throughout her birthday leave in the office.

So basically I hanged-out with my mom for 8 weekdays. You'll never imagine how tirying that was. Each day was a different place as the other.

Yes it was exhausting to go to malls but it was fun.

Through out those days, I hanged out with my mom. I could say that she is my best friend. Why? Well one is we tease each other very often.

I had fun finishing my summer hanging out with her.

The Month of May, when it ends it means to all students that school is just around the corner.

Oh well at least it ended with a bang.

This was written on March 24 but thought on March 23.

I was checking the family email inbox when I came across a letter given by my godfather in the states. It was the usual letter that if you read it then make a wish after you have sent it to many people it will come true. But it was different in a little way, the subject read that if you "Read It and Your Phone will ring". So I tried it out. I thought that it will finally prove that this kinds of letters are idiotic. So i answered the questions and I think there was a prayer and a story, so then there were instructions that I had to send it to some people. Then at the last it said, "A Person You Know Will Call". Of course I thought it was rubbish but the Phone rang.

I was dumbfounded! It was my mom who called.

I am not saying that I believe this letters especially the one that if you don't send it you will get haunted or bad luck. But this one letter intrigued me. I forgot what it was because our computer had to be reprogrammed because of a virus so the email was deleted. But what I want to say that there are really things we can't explain and that we should just let it be.

this was written last November 23, 2007.

Have you ever had a day in which you just want to kill yourself for all the stupid things you've done in that stupid day. (in this case, 'this stupid day') At first the day started out right but then it entered a hell of a swirling vertex, turning it upside down.

If you were me, what could you do? If you had that day, what would you do? if you had a bad day what would you do?

I guess there really is a day for every one of us. A day in our lives that everything we do turns out to be, well something you didn't expect but maybe thats what makes it LIFE.

We may call it an Unlucky Day or just a simple Bad day. Maybe there is more to that than meets the eye.

We get maybe just one bad day in an entire year, we may think that all the other days are normal and some days are the greatest but when we look at it in another point of view every day is the same the only problem is that some people live tomorrow differntly than yesterday.

Have you ever imagined what would had happened if you lived the same way each day? Each day you start with a prayer; each day you hear mass; each day you visit your other relatives; each day you celebrate.

We can't you know why? Some one assigned a specific holiday for each day that we can't live each day the same.

But what is the same? Live each day the same, what is it? How about living each day to the fullest. Sounds great.
