I Will Be A Legend

I am Athena Liv Peralta Pammit. I want to be remembered by people as the person who have lived a life in God’s accordance. A God-fearing person, a loving and thoughtful daughter, sister and friend. I want them to remember me as the kind and generous person everytime they would hear my name. The one who have made them smile or the one who have changed their lives. The one who have made change in the way they see the things around them. They will remember my name for being an angel to them. The person who is always there to listen and give advice to their problems and the shoulder that they can cry on. I will be remembered as the person who has dignity and stands on the decisions I have made. The person who have shared the good news of the Lord and the person who have shared my God-given talents. The one who have spread my optimistic view of life. The person who thinks 100 times first before coming to a certain decision. Being someone who makes mistakes but are learning from them and becoming a better person through these God-given challenges of faith and trust. The person who is strong and brave that is able to withstand all trials that I would interfere. The person who knows what is right and what is wrong. The one who attends mass, listens to the Word of the Lord and applying them in my daily life. I want to be remembered as the servant of the Lord through the little good deeds that I do. I am the daughter of God. And I will be a legend to all.

My Declaration by Eliza Bennett

I'm gonna be someone, I'm gonna give something,
I'm taking it on, I'm taking it on,
It's gonna be my life, so I'm gonna live each day and each night,
Taking it on, I'm taking it on

'cause I can't keep hiding, no I can't keep hiding, and I can't keep running away
So I'm gonna be stronger, I'm gonna be better made, I'm gonna give everything,
Just to bring me back again.

I'm gonna be a braver soul than this,
I'm gonna jump at all those many chances that i've missed,
I'm gonna live my life beyond all these fears and forms of cowardice that keep leading me on.
I'm gonna shine out like a beacon in the night,
I'm gonna wrap my fingers around the stars tonight,
'cause i'm taking it on, 'cause i'm taking it on...

No I can't keep hiding, no I can't keep hiding, no I can't keep running away
So I'm gonna be stronger, and I'm gonna be better made, and I'm gonna give everything,
Just to bring me back again.
So I'm gonna be stronger, I'm gonna be understood, and I'm gonna give everything
Just to bring me back again!

'cause I can't keep hiding, no I can't keep hiding, and I can't keep running away.

QUEER EMOTION

Queer Emotion
by chrome (it's me)

Why do I always feel this way?
Every time that you are near.
I can’t explain this sensation
That’s raging within.

What magic is in your eyes?
That makes me tremble inside.
But I wish that someday, those eyes…
Would look straight into mine.

What kind of smile do you possess?
‘Coz it won’t fade away in my restless mind.
And I hope that that smile was for me,
Even for just a while.

How enchanting your voice is,
And it makes me feel alive.
I’ve always dreamed that that voice…
Would sing me a song for once.

Wish, hope and dream…
Its all that I can do.
‘Coz deep down in your heart,
You’ll never appreciate a person like me.

I made this poem 'coz I'd like to dedicate it to someone who is close to me... but I guess that was just like that... we were close and yet nothing is going on between us...

What a Fresh Start of the Year!

Macbeth's Tragedy

What a fresh start of the year!It's the first month for the year 2010 and yet I'm so,so busy. We had to exert so much time and effort to earn a high grade in English. We have to go to school for a whole week. Unfortunately, we were not allowed to practice and do our props inside the school, so we need to find a new place to go. And there we find a space in the Elementary School of Tarece. There, we usually rehearse, though we lacked time. I think that destiny tests us. Every time we practice, we'll meet a tragedy or even a disaster. One time, while we were doing the props and having our practice, one of our groupmates stated that he doesn't want to perform. We almost broke down when he said that. The next thing we knew is that another one was also giving up because he said that he can't take it anymore (the comments we have recieved). Oh my God!!! I think that I'm also giving up but I can't because my groupmates and I wanted to prove something (I hope we had). Another terrifying thing we had encountered was when we were in the main building doing our props, we can't go down to eat our lunch because Father Jaime Quinto, the director and Mr. Dominador Menor, the CAT-I Commandant were downstairs and we afraid to go down because we didn't asked permission, we just sneaked upstairs.Tragedy won't leave us alone, it followed us everywhere. One time, when we were busily rehearsing our play, another groupmate of mine was strucked by destiny, she was bitten by a stray dog. So, we need to postpone our practice and then rush her in the clinic. We were very worried about her that we neglected the need for a practice. The day of the presentation came and we were hoping that the play would be an okay and that Mr.Tragedy wouldn't visit us anymore but unfortunately, he did. The dubbing we were playing rewinded. Arghh!!! Mr. Tragedy doesn't really wanna make us prove something. When the play came to an end, we were a bit disappointed because we haven't heard any uplifting words from the judges. "Great job! I know you did your best!" is all that we wanna hear. I guess that wasn't Macbeth's Tragedy but our own tragedy. After a few days our heartaches were vanished when we had a talk with our subject teacher in this matter. We had cleared everything that bothers us exept the fact that things weren't the same between us since that day (I hope I was wrong about that idea).

Sweet Moments with God

They say that you have to have time for everything. A time with your friends, family, special someone and God. And this is the time I've been waiting for. The time I'm gonna spend with God. This time is very unforgettable, not just because of the mouth-watering foods but because I have relaxed (no assignments, projects or quizzes to do...) and spent a quality time with our Creator. During these days, I've learn to appreciate life... that everything is a gift from God and there's nothing more to wish for.

My Last Month for the Year 2009

Party in SCA!!!

I can feel the cold breeze and the sweet scent of Christmas... Oh my! I can see the colorful wrappers of gifts that come in many sizes. I can see those mouthwatering foods and drinks. Oh... time flew so fast! It's already our Christmas party in SCA! I never thought that this day is going to be so much fun! We played lots of enjoying games and ate all the foods that our tummies can digest. We just had fun singing songs though our voices weren't that good enough. We really enjoyed the last Christmas celebration in our high school life. I'm really gonna miss my classmates when the time comes that we need to be apart. But, by this time, I'm just gonna enjoy their company!

Camp Rock!

Oh my goodness! it feels like I have the whole world behind my back because of the baggages and responsibilities I have during the camp. I can't believe that I'm a leader since I do not work that much at home. During the first night, i can't go to sleep (I think I slept at around 1aam and then I woke up 3am). So, the party started in SCA, we had lots of activities like the Mr. BSP and Miss GSP which I could never ever forget. The person I least expected to join the Ms. GSP joined and what's more terrifying? It's that she resembled a clown rather than a candidate upstage (but I love how she posed upstage). We played games and then a lot of mind cracking activities. On the last day, I can't believe that our team got the 4th place when they announced the winners!

A Day For A Dear Mother...

Woah!! I can't believe it!!! I'm going to the most special day of one of my second moms in SCA, Ma'am Grace. Almost all of us-the class of St. Francis went to her most anticipated wedding day. We all wore green... their favorite color. We look like madmen when the priest said, "You may now kiss the bride." And when we were on the reception area, we were very surprised because the whole area was crowded but inside the church, you can only count the people. I guess Filipinos are really what they call 'ponciano'. We were very sad when we were about to go because we know that we'll be missing our kind and thoughtful mom but despite the sadness, we were also glad because we already have a new dad!

Feast Day of St. Francis!
“I can’t wait to see them…” these words came out of my mouth the morning of our feast day… the Feast day of St. Francis of Assisi.

This day was the best day I’ve had in my whole life! We, St. Francis class had great bonding moments and memories to remember. We played water balloon war, played under the cold pour of the rain, took pictures of happy memories that would never fade away and ate a lot! The smiles in our faces won’t fade away even though there’s a typhoon signal in our province.
This experience would be forever treasured and tattooed on my mind… I would never forget those people who made forget the problems of the whole universe and made me laugh aloud and look like a lunatic.

Signos
What was happening? Why do the rivers overflow? Why do the trees bow their heads to the ground? Is this what they call Mother Nature’s revenge? Maybe. This is because of our own doings. We don’t care about her. Maybe, one-fourth do care for her, but the how about the other three-fourths?
I would share to you a traumatic experience of mine. In the midst of the typhoon Pepeng, my family and I didn’t think that the river that’s just right in front of our house would overflow. It only took a matter of minutes for the water to rise until knee level.

What’s worse is that the bunches of ‘kangkong’ blocked the water’s pathway. However, thanks to our super neighbors, the stacked ‘kangkong’ was removed and the water flow made the water level lower in just a few days.

Maybe, these typhoons are signs that our Mother Nature is harshly damaged with man’s reckless acts. Does she tell us that she cannot bear anymore the chemicals that come from the cars, factories, burnt plastics and other technologies? That her natural green color is now becoming dull, lifeless brown because of illegal logging and mining.
I tell you, this is not the end, it’s just the beginning of a more worst scenario if everybody would nit learn to respect the Mother Nature who gives us life and can also bring us death. So, come to think of it, isn’t it simple to give her just a little respect, love and care?

STEP to Fame!
Whoa! I can hear the loud cheers of the students of different schools cheering for their contestants in the Mr. and Ms. STEP when I neared the gym of SEPNAS (Speaker Eugenio Perez National Agricultural School). We we’re so impressed with the contestants, especially the pride of our school, John Paul Tapia and Joeylenn Siscar who were both endearing and persevere. After al the breath taking performances, the top 5 for both categories were announced. Luckily, Joeylenn’s name was called but unfortunately, John Paul’s wasn’t called. Hence, we, his friends rushed in the backstage to comfort him. There, our first class group hug happened. I was very overwhelmed because we were united and we had a lot of time to bond with everyone in our class.

One Great Busy Day…
It’s a busy day waiting ahead of me today, October 28. First task to do is prepare the stage for our public speaking in English. Here comes Sir Maurison together with his advisory class to be our audience. The little nervousness I feel became more intense because I do not know the faces whose gonna watch me speak. So, there I was, standing on the lectern, I don’t know what to do. When I started speaking, the nervousness I’m feeling started to fade away but when I looked through the eyes of the students, it came rushing back. That time, I really don’t know what I’m talking about; I guess I became very conscious of the eyes staring at me. Then after, we rushed to our room to change our clothes and went straight ahead to the church for the mass. Time passed by so quickly, we have to prepare for the dry run for the “Living Rosary.”
Afterward, we have to perform with our whole costumes and props. Thank God! The performance was successful; the teachers congratulated us for a job well done. Imagine, we were able to pretend like a mannequin for almost an hour! We were very glad to have met the expectations of the teachers who assigned us to perform. We went home late but we have smiles painted on our faces though we’re very tired. I’m glad that I’ve made my tasks properly this one great busy day!

Woozy Tests
Whew! It’s already October 29 and 30, the time to take our 2nd Periodical Test! I wasn’t that prepared to take the exam but I’m confident that I would have an average grades. So, there I was, answering the questions I know and spending minutes thinking for the questions I can’t recognize, praying that God would be there to guide and blees me. When the results of the tests was announced, my heart jump for so much joy for the high grades I got in some subjects but I was a little bit depressed for the low grades I got, and told myself that I must have concentrated on those subjects.

Link Between Friends
This month is the best month I’ve had since the start of this school year because I have a lot more time for my friends (especially those in the other sections and years) in spite of a hectic schedule.
