Inay Feling's 75th Birthday


Today was a very special day for my grandmother because she turned 75 this day. In the early time of this day, we attended mass from the local chapel. We offered ourselves to God. We wished that Inay will have a very healthy body and mind. After the mass, the grand gift to my grandmother arrived, the new auto, the MONTERO. Oh God! its so cool. We had it blessed by the parish priest who celebrated the mass for our grandmother. After several minutes, we went to the reception where we ate lots of foods. There were many people there. I think half of the barangay was there. There was many people who helped in cooking the food for the party. The family resemblance and relatives was there, there was the clan of Nanay Eliza from Rosario. There was our relatives from Alagaw, Bauan. All of my tito and tita said a message to Inay. I also said my speech. In pure English! there were so many people listening but I had very many confidence. Haha. I didn't know why I was not shy in front many people there. The good thing is, I did my best. My grandmother received many gifts from the guests. Majority were cakes and foods. Me and my cousin, Kevin, had a very long chat about school. Kevin is from Canada. I really think that he is a very intelligent person. He told me that his favorite subject is mathematics, which was my least liked subject. Tita Tiso went home na. I think she lives in Tarlac and she was the wife of Tito Bebot. She was a very kind woman.Tito Rene together with Kuya Kevin and Kuya Marlon went home here in the Philippines. We went home around 11:30 pm. That was a very wonderful experience for all of us.

Bomb Threat!

This day was not like just ordinary Fridays I usually have. This day was a tragic and disastrous day for me January 29, 2010 .Annavi, our very industrious and loving class mayor, and I were buying ice cream from the ice cream stand. Suddenly, kids from the PLC area started running with their respective advisers. I instantly thought that it was fun being a child again. Those were the things running through my mind at that moment. After several minutes, our classmates, Clare and Kerwin, told us that we need to go back to our classrooms because it was a half-day. Annavi and I were happy at that moment because we thought that there will be no classes, therefore, our TLE and Chemistry classes will be postponed. Few minutes later, I saw many faculty and staffs running and telling the students to evacuate and go to the oval immediately. I really had no idea on what was happening that moment, all I knew was, there will be no classes in the afternoon and there is an evacuation drill which I took jokingly. Teachers and staffers then told us to go out of the campus and without hesitations, go home because we will not be able to get our things from our classrooms because of the fucking bomb threat! My classmates and I went out of the campus vicinity and piled across De La Salle Lipa. I was so nervous at that moment because my two little sisters were still inside the campus and the teachers didn't allow us to enter the campus. I text my mommy and my daddy that there was a bomb threat inside the school. Then, my dad called me and told me to go home. At those moment, I was with some of the girls of LS 412 and we were making fun of what really was happening. Few minutes later, we found ourselves sitting on a nearby computer shop and 'Facebooking' about what had happened.
