Sembreak finale

This week is our sembreak, a nine days break. I learned many things that can help me but it is not related to academics. I realize that academics cannot support my body to stand alone. I need experience that can help me up. This week, i had a routine. First thing to do is exercise at the plaza and play basketball. Then go home and rest. After at least 3 hours, come back and play again. Go home again, rest and eat. Then do whatever comes in my mind. Then go back to plaza again, it might be to play again or just watch. I had that routine and there, i met many friends that help me a lot. They teach me things i haven't learned in school. School doesn't teach me to throw the ball into the ring, to exercise my full body. That is why i am really ready to go to school to apply what i've learned

Gameover

This week, I feel i am a different person. My body wants to study but my mind doesn't want. I mean i am always thinking of sem-break. I am attending classes but my mind is unconsious. So in the last day of classes before the break. I do a lot of failure, the thing i've done that is very ugly is answering the long test in analytic geometry. Before I know the lessons and concepts. But during the test, its like a test which test our advance readings. I dont know any. Then i saw my teacher looking at our class. I called her attention. I show her my hand giving a sign of zero. i am only confident in one item. But when i passed it and she checked. I saw that i plot the wrong points! so I am sure zero in score. Gameover

Periodical Test: My inspiration

There is one person who changed my path. They are the one who helped me stand with my feet. When i am a child, they asked me where will I study Elementary. They gave me two choices, private and public. I am supposed to enter public because we are just a simple family. I answered the name of the private school because that is easier to say. But they really put me in private school. If they didnt do that, I am sure i cannot achieve the things I had now. So I really appreciate what they have done. And one incident makes me think to achieve things with higher levels, it is when my father died. After that incident, I promised myself that I will be a successful man to fulfill my parents dream for me.

Intramurals third day.

Today is the last day! as what the schedule state. Starting the day was the girls championship. it is a very relaxing game as we see the gap between the 2 teams. we thought that our team will win very easily. But during the game, i saw a girl from the other team who i thought to be very quiet. But as i look at her, she is very aggressive and she dont mind if she hurt my team mate. nevermind that. We lead the first three quarters easily, but as the forth quarter starts, the came to a 5 - 0 run. out team became pressured but we cheered for them and gain again the momentum. If i will choose their best players as the mythical five, I will choose Lerina as the point guard, Dei as another defense forward, Charmaine as shooting guard, Katrina as the center and Ann as the other forward. They really showed a great game ^^.

Intramurals Second day.

This is the second day of our intramurals. We are still rejoicing for our wins yesterday. We are on top that time. But as soon as the games started this day, it seems that we are moving down the ranking. One thing that gave me that sign is the sack race. The three other year levels are very fast but our players never lose hope, They still fight even though they knew they will be the last one. the blue vaio rejoice as well as the yellow asus and green acers as they are not the last one.^^ but still many other games our waiting for us to reached our goal.

Intramurals first day.

Today is the intramurals of our school for the school year 2008-2009. Our team is red macintosh, 3rd year level. The four sections united to compete and also to enjoy with the other year levels. We dont expect that we will be the champion, but we loved to be. We just want to enjoy and relax after. Today, i think the main event is the cheer dance competition. The first year is the first one to perform. Followed by Red Macintosh then the blue vaio and last the yellow asus. The third year students shouted after our team perform because we have seen the performance they practiced for a long time. It is very nice. Afterwards, they announced the score. Our team won followed by vaio then asus then acers. The acers maybe the last but they are just novice in our school. They are still young compared to us. So that is ok.

Basketball effect

This Friday, I played basketball after school hours. then i got my momentum and shoot as many as i can. During the middle part, i jumped and suddenly my leg suffered from extreme pain. so my classmates pulled me out of the court. So i went home and took a rest. Then the day after that, I played again with the husband of my sister. We played with his friends here in Maragondon, we won at the first game. Then next game, we still won but during the middle part, my enemy hit my knee also by his knee. It hurts a lot. Now I am suffering from double injury.

The examination

This week, we had our examination but the english and social studies were seperated. So I plan to study before the test. I brought my books home but i didn't even open it, then at school the day after, we had our test with the 3-Hydrogen at the gym. We don't know why. First test, Mathematics(algebra), i am quite confident to answer because that is my favorite and focus subject.Followed by Statistics, oh! It is like math also but a little bit mixed with other math related but i cannot answer some of the question. Then last test for the first day, filipino. It is quite hard to answer but if mind is use, I can answer it. But when we checked it, my answers are wrong ^^ LOL

Birthday

This week, from the school, we always hear fireworks. Then the bell from the church rung every noon. I realize that it is the fiesta in our street. Then it is also my mother's birthday. I am shy to greet her because, because, i dont know why? but i think that it is part of adolescence. I am now shy to greet her unlike when i am still a child that i like always to greet her. Then when i am walking that afternoon, i think that i should by cake or gift for her, but i my hands cannot hold my pocket, i am very shy to do that. Then when i reached home, she is there sleeping thight. I had seen her cake blown and flowers her friend gave her.

Fight back

last week, we had our Ptc. I had scores lower than the cut off. So in this week, I plan to get high scores, but i think it is still low. In Chemistry, i still need 6 points to comply, but the one i showed this week makes me think if i can still maintain my scores. I just want to maintain it, i am not after the awards, medals blah blah. I am after the knowledge LOL. Then I am still thinking if i will continue this fight because it is always like this, i will encounter set problems this week then if i defeat them, i will encounter again another set, argh. Hope somebody will come to my mind and give me the courage.

PTC!!!

This Friday, we had our PTC. I am not afraid what my scores are but my classmates do. Why I am not afraid? because I knew to myself I am not yet showing anything. My effort is not enough. Then when i saw my scores, All of the scores reached the cut-off except A.P. and Chemistry. I need 2 points so it should be plus 4 points in A.P. and 3 points that will be plus 6 points in Chemistry. I really want to do my best. but my brain doesnt want and my body want. ^^. And i learn one lesson this grading. Reading doesnt make you intelligent. Why? secret ^^.

Very boastful

Last Friday, August 22,2008, we had our "tagisan ng talino" in the filipino subject. We went there 4:00 p.m.. We started immidiately. It is divided in three categories, easy medium and hard level. And then while having our quiz, I saw my crush ^^. I get inspired, were already in the half, then when i saw her, i got consecutive correct answer, so I have 6 points over 10 questions. The next category, medium, i didn't saw her so I lost my momentum! tsk tsk tsk. And that time i got consecutive wrongs! but when we are in almost 75% of the level medium, i saw her again and got 2 consecutive corrects. Then at the last part, I saw her again ^^. I got at least 18 over 30. Then the 5th placer i think is just 32 and i am 30! o men! just a little bit!

Happy fiesta!

From Aug 14 to Aug 18, we don't have classes! yehey! Because it is already fiesta in our town. This is one of the days I am waiting for, because during fiesta, our relatives go to our house to eat and chat. Then after they eat, they run. Eat and run. hahaha. And also during the fiesta proper, there is a fire works display and giant luring play at night, it is very relaxing to see them enjoy but i like to celebrate fiesta with my love ones in school, those who are special to me, but i know they cannot, only for a very small possibility. That is why we are not ok this time, because i cannot tell them the reason why i am like that to them. forget the drama, lets go back to the fiesta, One reason why i like this day is there are many food! my favorite, seafoods, chicken, lechon etc. hmmmm. hihihi. Come and join me eat all those things here in our house. I will wait for you. ^^

Shortened period and field trip

This Friday is a very relaxing day. Why? because we will only spend the half of the time we usually spend in each subject. The reason why we had the shortened period was to prepare for the upcoming field trip the next day but I am not included. So I just prepare for the upcoming periodical test.

I am not worried even if I am not included in the field trip in Subic and my classmate will make me jealous. Even they tell me their whole experience in Subic, even they show me their remembrance from the trip. Why? because I already went there! Hahaha. It is still fresh in my mind what i have done there and what i experience there. hahaha

You had a point

We cannot deny that we had our own special someone, the one we admire, love and think of. Sometimes it makes you inspired to do things but at the same time, it can be a destruction if you will not do the right thing.

I have a special someone. She is a girl (of course), cute ^^, kind ^^, intelligent ^^. In school, she don't have problem in grades, attitude.

I am just a typical teenager, not so kind, not so wise, not so hardworking. In school, I have problem in grades but I always read. But why i get low grades? it is because when i read? i cannot analyse it well.

A teacher told as a story. A student has a very intelligent crush, but he has problem in academics. What did the student do next? He study and make he crush impress.

I think i can do that to^^. For my crush right?

Still thinking

This 3rd year, our research teacher is preparing us to our research for the next year. But i cannot decide of my research. I am thinking of solving the problem in the society, global warming and oil price hike. I am thinking of biofuel as my research but others said that it is expensive. It is still needed to test the medium. I am trying to use dried leaves but it is difficult enough. I read one article stating that european researchers are trying to use the Landfill as the source of bio energy from the waste material. When i try to research about that kind of source. It says that a certain gas was available and existing to those waste materials. I think its a nice research but a little bit expensive

Induction of officers

This friday, the school had its induction of P.T.A. officers as well as the induction of Supreme Student Government and the club organization officers. They plan to start the program 3:00 in the afternoon. So we are there on time. But after an hour, it is not yet starting and suddenly, i saw the party of the mayor. But Mayor Monte is not there. So the show starts. It started by a presentation of Lyrico and the national anthem and the CNSHS hymn. After that, Ma'am de Vera had her introduction about the induction. Then ma'am Orsal introduce the guest, Mon Andaman. Mon Andaman bring with him a letter from the mayor,suppose to be the guest. He read it to the crowd. The party of the mayor donated disinfectant to the school. They want us to be protected from dengue. After that, the main event was started. The PTA had first the induction followed by the SSG ad Club organization. After that, We had our flag ceremony and at last, Home sweet home.

Meet my daddy

When I am still a child, i can remember him being friendly to all, lovable to his children and hardworking. He works as letter carrier in the munincipality of Maragondon. Early in the morning, he will rode the motorcycle and deliver the mails to its recepient. I don't remember a time that he forgot to deliver those mails. Sometimes, he let us come with him and rode to the motorcycle. He is also lovable. Before we sleep, he will first make 'lambing' to us. He want everyone in our house to eat together. He is not selfish, he will always offer us anything he had. Even a free food from a friend, he may not eat and just give it to us. He is also very friendly. In our street, almost all knew him. When i asked them if they knew my father, they answered me "oo, magkaibigan kami". He can go along with person whom he don't knew and make them his friends. That is how my father was remembered.

My family tree

My name Harry E. Soriano came from the roots of different people who i gave me this life.

My middle initial "E." means Espiritu. It came from my great grandfather, Florentino Espiritu and his wife Lucia Gregorio. Their son "Juan" married Victoria, daughter of Gonzalo Dinco and Natalia Angeles and bore 4 children but "Juan" still had many girls. One of their children is Fernando, my grandfather. He is a police who served Cavite until his retirement. After that, Crisanto Valerio married Catalina Linis and bore 9 children including my grandmother Magdalena Espiritu who didn't work because she focus on taking care of her children with Fernando Espiritu. One of their children is Zenaida, my mother, a court stenographer who follow the path of her father to be a government employee. Most of my relatives in this side was scattered all over the world thats why we do not have direct contact with them. Only my mother was left in the Philippines because her brother and sisters went abroad to live there. I dont like my mother to go abroad also because i cannot leave my friends here and other relatives who i loved. So they cannot go there. hehehe

On the other hand, my surname, Soriano came from my great grandfather Macario Soriano and his wife Macaria Dino. The almost have the same name that's why their relationship became interesting. They have 5 children including Severino who married Mauricia, the daughter of Sixto Ibay and Tomasa Rollon. They bore & children. One of them is Felicisimo, my grandfather. Felicisimo married Luisa, the daughter of Enrique Angeles and Teofila Inguanzo who had 10 children. And Mr. and Mrs Felicisimo Soriano bore 11 Children including my father Pascual who was also a government employee. My father died because of stroke. We were together in the last seconds of his life. Until my mother decided to bring my father in the hospital. My mother don't like me to go to the hospital so i don't have the opportunity to say sorry to him. My relatives in this side was very united. They almost lived in one locus. Although the others live on other places

After the story get more dramatic. My whole family in mother and father side before, were busy aside from their works to sports. In my mother's side, they play chess and compete to contest in different places. In my father's side, they play basketball and compete in the league here in Maragondon.

That is how my name Harry E. Soriano was developed. Thank you for reading

Summer sunshine

In our room, from the start of classes, we don't have electric fan. We suffer while the other students on the other room feel cold. And our teacher took pity on us. ^^ then we had one electric fan. we are still not satisfied. then suddenly. the former section who used the room let us borrow their electric fan. A little bit, we are satisfied. we cannot complain about that.Days had pass and we became careless. We always left our electric fan ( we just borrow that) open. so our adviser gave us another chance. and we left it again open. the our teacher gave us another chance.And days had pass again and we suddenly forgot to turn it off!then our teacher wrote a note on the board that we cannot use it anymore. it is our fault. we admit it. sorry ma'am. another chance??? ^^

It gives me the courage

Since the start of the 2nd week of classes, i noticed something. I notices that i can't remember some things that i used to study and apply before.Particularly in mathematics, last year, i like to solve problems, create shorter formulas, prove things using postulates. But now, i am wondering why i felt that i don't know anything about that subject. Like I am just a child learning to count. Since the begining of this year, i get low scores in that subject. But that doesn't made me weak, instead, it refresh me and let me start doing it again to recover the one i knew before.

Why am I here?

I believe people live here on Earth for a certain purpose. We have our own characteristics which makes us unique for each to fulfill that certain purpose in life.
Since i was a child i experience things not to common to other child. So from that events that happen to my life. I long for things i didn't experience in my life. So I told myself that the best thing i can do is support other people and i really want to do that. I want to share my ideas i learned when i am alone longing for blanks that occupy things i should experience during my childhood.I want my friends to learn something from me and it will make me happy for i contributed something to their life. I am not longing for fame, rich and power because I realized that its not to important. What is important is the goal we our trying to reach and how to achieve it for that is our porpuse.
I also think that my purpose in life is to discover new things. simple things which can really help improve the nation and to discover new ways of living.

All bad things doesn't mean failure

Since the beginning of the school year, we experience happiness and a little bit scared. We always have activities, quiz and recitations and we felt excitement while doing it.But i forgot something, i forgot to study hard and understand what i am reading.One time, in our english class, i forgot to answer in the recitation that is why i get zero. Second time, in our araling panlipunan class, something bad happen to me. When i yawn for i while, my hearing fell down. It seems that all the people around me are whispering. I plan to go to the clinic but the teacher already arrived. I am the first one called to answer in the recitation but i cannot hear the question. So i tell ma'am, "anu po". I saw her getting irritated. Then after the class. my hearing get high, i found out that something bad happen to my ears. but know, it had fully recovered.I didn't feel irritated on what had happen. It didn't give me sorrow but it gives me reason to give more effort. From now on, i plan to study and raise up my body resistance. ^^

What happens after the warm up

This week, I started to get interested in Science. Why? first, I love the stories when our lesson is about research that helps the country. Second, questions started entering my mind which can be researchers of the future. And last, I want to prove myself to the public.I ask God for an omen if it is good for me to give interest to science. He answered my question after a while. I saw a thunderstorm this thursday. From 6:45 - 7:15. It is very wonderful, amazing and interesting. And also unique. Try this, Instead of showing your special friend meteor rains, fireworks which is considered romantic, why not thunderstorm.When i saw the phenomenon, I am really amazed. Just outside our house, i saw a cloud above the mountain. It is somewhat dark. When i observed it. I found out that there is a interval of 5 seconds (estimate) after a thunder comes out again with the lightning. The lightning was very bright and long. But it cannot reach our village. I told my mother and sister about that. and they were also amazed.The show was over as the dark clouds spread in the sky and i also slept after the phenomenon. I feel tired looking at it. whew

This is how a new story begins

4:30 in the morning, i woke up even though i just slept for about 4 hours. I prepare myself and go to school. When I enter the gate, I felt mixed feeling, excitement,nervous and joy. I think i am late to school but it seems i am the first one to enter. While waiting for the others, i walked around the school to reminisce the past which cannot be brought back anymore. Many students in our batch were kicked-out by the school. Sadness starts to enter my mind but suddenly, while walking, i saw our C.R. last year which gives me memories of happiness and gladness for that place is very remarkable and it is where our precious moments happened last school year.^^



After a while, students started to arrived. And suddenly the school was filled with students with same and new faces, new schoolmates, same classmates. We talked about our vacations and we started discovering new things as our first subject starts. Physics=the science which deals with matter and energy, the first thing that was though to me this school year^^. Our classes continue and ended. After classes, we met with our former classmates now studying to different schools.



The next day, we had our diagnostic tests, It seems to be hard so I expect to get low grades. I don't care if i get low grades for it its better than having low grades here rather than having low grades in the next exams. ^^. At noon, we had our election for our class organization. I am elected as the class treasurer. I am quite nervous for it is my first time to be a treasurer and students who already experienced that said that its quite hard for some are not paying and I will be the one to pay for them, so I use my mind and instead of being abused, I will be corrupt for them. joke ^^.



The next day, we had the continuation of our diagnostic test, then at noon, we had the election for club organizations. I joined the LRC club for i don't have any idea where i will be joining. So i just go with my friends. But i don't like what happened, i expect them to guide me, but instead, they put me to the position i am not suited. So i just keep my mouth shut and wait for the sun to set.



The last day of the school week, i feel comfortable for it is my first time to wear another type of uniform. But while I am walking, i saw my classmates wearing their scouting uniform last year. I am shocked. But when enter our room, only the girls wear their former scouting uniform.not the boys. i feel nervous that time. and we had our classes, I am very excited for our advance statistics class for the other section used the computer center. But when out turn comes, the other year level where using the computers, how fair it is. and before the sun sets, we had our meeting of the molecules, discussing the plans for the schoolyear. and after that! home sweet home ^^.
