BULAG

Ang kanyang mga mata’y nakapinid

sa mga bagay na nakapaligid,

dahil sa puso at isip lingid

katotohanang nais ibatid

Tuwa at kasiyahan ang dala

na sa kaniya’y nais ipadama

upang maimulat ang mga mata

at madarama niya’y kakaiba

Mga nilikhang nagbigay sinag

tulad ng araw nagliliwanag

At maging ang buwan sa magdamag

Na sadyang di Makita ng BULAG… ....

In Just One Click!

A one picture has a similarity with the song. The song is composed by the song writer and it has a story behind every words that written. Like a song the picture is also has story behind and composed with artistic mind. The sweetest smile of the subject, the texture and details of the structures, the emotions that give life to the photo that tell us a story.

Last September 13 and 20 of year 2013, the students of La Verdad Christian College experienced the unforgettable photowalk. Mr. Dominic Meily conduct the activity for his class on basic photography to feel, experience and apply what they have learned from the lessons that they have studied.

At the warm and cloudy day of morning we assembled at the Central Ave LRT station. With our instructor Sir Doms and some members of Photoville International lead us for our first street photography. At the whole day of taking pictures everywhere in Intramuros I have learned a lot of things. And that's how the story begins.

Our group is headed by bro. Mar Vercide. In our group we have two cameras. As we walked along the streets and roads I felt the history of the oldest district and core of Manila, the Intramuros, it gives me  the significant of the events happened there.

When taking some shots to different people I saw their life even they don't tell me. I've learned the fact the even we have a problem we can still smile to other. The emotions of the people complete the essence of our composed shots. We went everywhere and learned many things not just about photography but also the real life on the street that gives me inspiration to go farther in life.

At the end of the day everyone feels glad even we are all tired. We never think about how many kilometers we walked because we know and we love what we are doing.

In just one click the memory have been captured and the story made by pictures.

Life of Our Life

A loud sounds of music from the orchestra wakes me up from my deep sleep. Over and beside me are the group of boys and girls that wearing long sleeves with necktie and blouse with ribbon. The music created by the orchestra is the sign that the International Thanksgiving start.

A thousand of people from a hundred kilometer destination are gathered together to attend and celebrate the International Thanksgiving. The Members Church of God International (MCGI) celebrates the annual thanksgiving. Last September 27,28,29 the 3rd quarter of International Thanksgiving happened and celebrated at Apalit Pampanga, ADD Convention.

I saw myself sitting on the bleachers where I and my classmates placed and listening to the word of God that delivered and teach by the presiding minister Bro. Eli Soriano and Kuya Daniel Razon. Everyday has a topic that full of learning and wisdom coming from God above.

I've never saw anyone who felt uncomfortable because of their situation. The brethren expressed their feeling and their approval every time that the righteousness of God works on their hearths while listening to the word of wisdom.

God is the only reason why we live here on earth. He creates all of the things that exist; human being, natures, gadgets, schools, animals etc. I know that if there is no God we couldn't passed the exams, solve problems that encounter in our life, feel the true meaning of love and the guidance that only God can do.

Colossians 1:16 - For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether [they be] thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

I was so glad that I've become part of the international giving. I would rather give my time to praise and worship God than to spend my time just for the unimportant stuff in life. And my decision is right.

After the three days of thanksgiving, I know to myself and to everyone that we felt the love and wisdom, and learn the teaching of the Lord.

The Lord is the life of our life that give strength to us, letting us to do the right, giving us the solution for every problem, helping us to find the hidden mistakes to correct and helping others to lead to the right way in life, because He is the Life of Our Life.

 Psalms 95:1-6 - O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.For the LORD [is] a great God, and a great King above all gods.In his hand [are] the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills [is] his also.The sea [is] his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry [land].O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker.

Giyera ng mga Iskolar

             Edukasyon ang isa sa mga susi sa tagumpay. Sa pamamagitan ng edukasyon ang tao ay natututo ng mas malawak at malalim pang kaisipan na nakatutulong sa paghubog ng katauhan. Sa paaralan, sa simula, unti-unting nahuhubog ang ating kakayahan sa pagsulat at pagbasa na itinuro rin ng ating mga magulang. Hanggang umabot na sa kalaunan na natututo na tayong ipaglaban ang ang tamang katwiran, magbigay opinyon at sumagot ng tama.

           

             Bata pa lamang ako naririnig ko na ang salitang "iskolar". At ang sarap pala sa pakiramdam maging isang iskolar, ngunit sa kabilang banda may mga iskolar na nahihiyang tawagin silang iskolar na totoo naman at dapat nilang ipagmalaki. Dahil kung ating iisipin, sa libo libong kabataang napilitang huminto dahil sa kakapusan ng perang pangtustos ay isa kang mapalad bilang isang iskolar.

Sapagkat ayon na din sa pag aaral ng UNESCO noong 2008, 73% o pito sa sampung estudyante ang napipilitang tumigil sa pag aaral dahil sa taas ng mga bayarin sa paaralan. At sa kolehiyo, 22% o dalawa sa sampung estudyante lamang ang nakakapasok sa pamantasan.

            Sa tuwing may nagtatanong sa akin kung saan ako nag aaral at kung magkano ang aking binabayaran sa  aking pinapasukan..napapangiti ako at buong puso kong ipinagmamalaki na sa LA VERDAD CHRISTIAN COLLEGE ako nag aaral at wala akong binabayaran dahil isa akong iskolar.

Sa institusyong ito ko nalaman ang tunay na kahulugan ng isang iskolar. Marahil ang ibang tao ay hindi pa ito gaanong kilala ngunit dahil dito naisasakatuparan ko ang aking mga pangarap.

Saan ka nga ba makakakita ng institusyong walang hinihinging bayad sa pag aaral kundi pag papasalamat lamang sa Diyos at matuto ng mga kaalaman ang kailangan. Walang binabayaran kahit magkano. Dahil libre ang lahat, ang tuition fee, pagkain, uniform, pamasahe, dormitoryo, air condition na kwarto at kung anu ano pa. Sapagkat ang lahat ng iyon ay dahil sa Diyos at ginawang daan sina  Bro. Eli Soriano at Kuya Daniel Razon.

          Ang buhay iskolar ay napakaraming pinagdaraanang hirap sa pag aaral. Mga siryosong bagay na dapat bigyang kaukulang pansin na makatutulong para sa kinabukasan. Ang pagsusunog ng kilay ay tanda ng pagiging tapat sa tungkulin bilang estudyante at iskolar.
