Fieldtrip in Cagayan de Oro :)

Last September 5, 2010, we had our Educational trip in CDO. I don’t fell too much excited because that was Sunday and I’ll be absent in our Military Science and there was a practice for our commissioning. But my choice was to joined the fieldtrip.

In the morning around 8:35am was our departure to CDO. My classmates were very excited. On the bus, while on the travel we sang our favorite songs together, took some pictures, laughed, ate our snacks and etc. We felt very happy that our mood was so good and we just laugh and laugh. Then around 10:30am we have reached CDO. We went first to SM and back around 11:30am. In SM, we had fun playing in the Fun Time. We spent lots of money to buy token and coins to gain tickets. Then around 11:30 we went to Macahambus Cave. Well, it is my very first time to explore a cave. Me and my group mates for our scrapbook for this activity, we took some important details and view the of the cave. The cave was not so pretty or let’s say wonderful. We saw many fossils in there and bunch of stalactite which are calcite deposits that build down from the roof of the cave. Macahambus Cave is a "thru" cave which means it can be entered at one end and exited at the other. There were also names that were written in the walls of the cave. I think that names were written by the soldiers because it was found out that it has three chambers, the hide-out and the exit of Kagay-anon Soldiers and their families in the Battle of Macahambus Hill which marked the first victory of the Filipinos against the Americans in the Phil- American war in this nation in 1900. When you are inside the cave, you will feel hot and warm. There’s no breeze that you can feel until you will start sweating. We were sweating at that time. While goofing around the cave, one of the teachers called us to proceed immediately to bus. We run as fast as we can. We came late to our bus and our teacher got a little bit angry. Then we went to Limketkai to have our lunch there. On the noon time, we just ate our lunch in the bus and we went inside. We went shopping and goofing around some stores for almost 3 hours. I bought also a pasalubong for my family from Goldilocks. Around 3:15pm we went back to our bus. And for our next destination was Initao Caves. There's a place in Initao where you can find Virgin Forest and lots of cave. Woooohhh! That last destination was soooo fun though we were very tired. There were 3 caves, The Bat Cave, The lover’s Cave and oh I forgot 3^rd Cave but that cave was the toughest among all. That cave has a small space to get in. You will exert your energy by passing that cave. While we were inside, the floor was so slippery and there was no air. After some 10 minutes we have reached the exit. That was so difficult and challenging. We enjoy it very much. We got dirt because of the soil, we look very stinky and dirty but we were very proud of our dirty hands because we tried to get in that cave. Hahahaha! The Bat Cave is the cave where there are lots of bats, it was wide and you also see fossils and stalactites. On the lover’s cave was simple. It was just a small pass through cave but when you reached at the end you will see a beautiful sea. There is a space there where you can spend your time with your love ones. It is a good spot for lovers where you can have a date with a silent, peaceful and breathe taking place. It’s really nice!

Around 6pm we went to our bus. While on the way going to our bus, we were lost a bit but then we seek the right way because it was already dark and it is a forest. While going home to Iligan we sang again, took more pictures, ate our snacks, we laughed, and teased. Ahaha! It was one of my very memorable days that I will treasure.

Broken still Hopeful :)

Here I am again

Broken and anguish

Feeling fragile

Easy to be hurt

Smiling to hide the pain

Pretending to be alright

Feeling I’m going to die

Without you by my side

I seem to be strong

Even if I’m almost dying inside

Each day without you

Feels I really miss you

But I know there’s still a chance

Our love is sincere, yes we can!

I know we can make it

Someday, we’ll make everything okay again.ü

Essay: Why do early marriages fail?

In some cases early marriages fail, when a person marries at the young age which is about 19 and below. The marriage will surely not work out because at their age, they are curious, adventurous and very aggressive, it’s not the love they feel but lust. They can hardly adjust with each other and that is why they can’t help fighting each other because it is the source of misunderstanding. At young age you can’t or you didn’t think first this situation will bring you, you always think on the present without minding the future, we’re sometimes are close-minded because we only consider our own thinking’s and doings but not the others. In our age we are still dependent in our parents though we think that we are grown-up and old enough to face difficult problems which our parents have already faced. We make decisions quickly but don’t think about the consequences. We will just realize our faults and failure when we are old. Because of financial problems, many families are now suffering poverty and their children cannot finish their studies and so they choose to marry early and they think that they have no future. They think that we need to be practical.

Feelings of dread and trauma..

I will share to you my classmate’s experience. One afternoon they were 4 girls including Thereza who were standing near the traffic light in Brgy. Tambo to ride on a jeep to go home. While they were waiting for a jeep, there was a stranger man, he looks like an addict who attempts to snatch Thereza’s phone. Thereza was shocked. She doesn’t know what to do. She was mental blocked for what happened. She never thought that someone would grab her phone as fast as that. Then the snatcher got her phone and run away. She said that’s the feeling of trauma. She wants to cry but she can’t. After few minutes, she recalls for what happened to her then she started to cry while thinking also what will happen to her if her parents will knew it. She was dreadful while she was going home.

She learned that we should not display our valuables in public places because sometimes our lives will be in danger.

Difficulty :(

When I was in elementary and high school, I thought that college life was not that difficult. I thought that college life is just another chapter of your school career. Well, I think college is the most complicated, TOUGHEST! I agree! College life is not commodious. Other says that it’s just average. Well, for me it’s very difficult and I’m really struggling on my subjects.

I admit that I’m a lazy person, apathetic. I’m active in school activities and stuffs but I get lazy when it comes to studying my lessons. I have many plans to change myself but my plans are just wasted because I’m very lazy to do it. Studying in college needs more study habits, discipline, focus and time management. These factors can help me through it but I’m always tempted to watch TV, to sleep, having much time on the computer and texting. These are my hobbies, really sucks but I’m convivial of doing it.

But how can I still focus on my studies if keep on doing my unimportant things. I’m very confused! Why I am tempted? I’m really hoping as early as now I must change because if I will remain being lazy, I will not have a good future. Changing myself into a responsible one is for my own sake.

June 29, 2010 ♥

This day was a memorable day. I had lot of fun and excitement in this day. In the morning around 7am my father dropped me to school and what a surprised because we don’t have class in our P.E.. My classmates and I were gay but one of my classmate was worried because her phone was lost and she thought maybe the phone was in the jeep so we helped her to find it.

Walking along the way in SET bldg. with my classmates I saw my very special friend: Kevin

:D.We chatted a little because he will have his math class in CSM bldg. That was fine and I am happy because I have not seen him for 3days.

Well, go back to my classmate, she texted her phone to bring it back to her and we waited for reply. After that, we went to CASS bldg, our college for our next subject English 1. While waiting, my classmates and I were chatting in the student lounge. I have a classmate who was one I really chatted all the way. She said, she had many weird and scary dreams. When she shared it to me, I felt creepy and I told her to pray to God always. After chatting, we went to canteen and buy some hot champorado. I had a great time with my classmates; we talked and laugh a lot. Hihihihihi!

We had our class in English 1. Our English 1 subject was interesting especially our teacher who teaches us very well, very kind and patient and you can easily understand her lessons well. She also shared her experiences and teaching good values. It was interesting.

In the noon, I had my lunch at home and I was preparing some stuff needed for our speech choir presentation in our English 3 class on 6pm. I brought a cloth, speakers and my mp4 for our background music. I also wore a color black shirt at that time because we had planned to wear black.

Around 2pm I went back to school to have a final practice for our speech choir. Well, actually we just practice a little bit on that time because we were enjoying taking pictures. Taking pictures with your friends is really fun.  My classmate also found her phone; the driver brought it back to her. We were very happy. On around 4:30pm we went to CSM bldg. for our Math class. In our math class, I felt a bit nervous because maybe I can’t understand what was our teacher discussing but I keep cheering up myself that I can do it and I must practice solving math problems.

After our Math class we went immediately to CASS bldg. for our English 3 class. I went to the comfort room first and I saw my Mom she was asking me if were done presenting our speech choir then I answered, “Karon pa Ma ui, Kulbaan na kaayo ko”. Then my Mom answered, “Oh good luck anak.” Then I blessed my mom and went to our classroom. This is it! Woohhh! We prepared the things we need for the presentation and we presented it. Weeee! I felt so agitated and active.

The feedbacks of our judges were not that good. They said that the setting was solemn and the music really fits to the poem but the people, I mean we were not that good to deliver the poem. They said, we lacked of actions and it would be better if we put some actions on it. That presentation was still good for me, because I was the leader. I really give efforts on it but the problem was my group mates were not that cooperative and we lacked of time to practice seriously.

After the class around 7:30pm my friend Kevin was waiting for me to go home. I never expected that he waited me because I thought he went home earlier. We went out of the school together and he dropped in the street of our Brgy. then he left. While I was riding on a “tricicad” (A 4-wheel bicycle ride) I felt blissful, very stressful yet adorable and blessed day. Thank you Lord for this day. ♥

• I Love & Like ♥

In this composition I would like to share or tell my likes and loves. Well, name’s Tinagail♥ and I have a lot of things and stuff that I love and like.

I like color green because it’s my favorite color. Green looks cool and it symbolizes nature. I love to sing and it’s my talent but I don’t expose it because I’m shy. Hahaha! (giggling) I love to clean our house if I’m in the mood. I love taking photos because I’m in vain, very vain. I love to edit some pictures because I’m creative and I want to know more techniques in editing a picture. I like surfing on the internet because I’m an internet addict. I love reading books if it’s interesting. I love chatting with my friends especially the “ka-vibe” ones; I really enjoy talking with them sharing some stupid and funny things. I love to eat because I’m a human I get hungry; sometimes I eat a lot whenever I’m depress? Never mind!

I love listening music especially my favorite type of songs. I like drafting stuffs like printing, painting, and other skills; I just learned these stuffs when I was in 4thyear High school, our TLE subject was drafting and whole of the school year in our TLE was teaching drafting lessons and were so busy making some plates because it was a requirement. It was fun and I really learned a lot from it.

I love being active at school because school life is fun and you’ll learn many things and lessons each day. I am thankful that God give me an opportunity to go school and for my parents who made many sacrifices for us to have a better life and future. I’m a very blessed to have them.

I love cooking because I love to eat and eat. I want to experiment some foods and stuffs. I love texting on my phone which I always do. I love playing soccer; I’m a soccer player when I was in High school. I love playing this because it makes me slim but I haven’t playing soccer now, missing it. I love to sleep especially when I’m tired or stress.

I love watching Glee episodes, they are great performers. Sometimes I felt I’m one of them because whenever I watched them performing, it makes me grove and sing too. I love their song versions, very unique. I love planting because I’m a nature lover. I love bonding with my family like chatting, teasing, etc. I love being with them, they make me laugh always, especially when my mother and brother are teasing each other. They’re very funny. I would like to learn how to play violin but I don’t know how to play and taking violin class is very expensive.

And lastly, I love God, my family including my relatives, my friends, my companions, and all the people who are part of my life. They are my every thing. So, I guess it ends here. Thank you so much for reading this. God Bless.^^
