One Week Later

Before everything read this first:

John 20: 24-29

24Now Thomas (called Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. 25So the other disciples told him, "We have seen the Lord!" But he said to them, "Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe it." 26A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you!" 27Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put in into my side. Stop doubting and believe." 28Thomas said to him, "My Lord and my God!" 29Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."

Have you ever doubted in believing in God? If you are you might want to find out what kind of doubt it is.

1. Nathaniel's doubt-not enough information
2. Peter's doubt-spiritual doubt
3. Thomas' doubt-intellectual doubt

There is only one solution with these doubts. It is faith. Believe in God! There is this saying: "Seeing is believing". What about those blind people whom Jesus healed? They believed in Him. "blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed".

I have a story about Easter Monday. hehe. The day after Jesus rode a donkey on Palm Sunday, the donkey went to town and crave for attention like yesterday. So walking, walking...all people ignored him and shooed him like a stray cat. He can't believe that he was being ignored and ran back home to his mother. He learned that he isn't important when he is not with the Lord. He's just like normal people, like us.

Reflect: 1. What doubts or questions about God are you struggling with? What have you found helpful in dealing with doubts? 2. Have you received the gift of the Holy Spirit? How has it changed you? 3. How important is God in your life? How do people treat you?


Whew! That was my longest post... That's all for now

MOST 2007

Every March, before the current school year ends, Muntinlupa chooses its Sampung Ulirang Mag-aaral ng Muntinlupa or Muntinlupa's Ten Outstanding Students (MOST). The award was given last March 23, 2007 at the Fresnedi Sports Complex.

It all starter in 1994, when Mayor Jaime R. Fresnedi was still vice mayor, the annual awarding of MOST has become a highlight in every graduating high school student of Muntinlupa. The MOST award is intended to encourage students and give them inspiration to excel in their studies, to give importance to the inherent intelligence and talents of students of Muntinlupa, to boost the participation of students in community service, and to support the objectives of the city government to develop the youth.

Here's what I envy most; part of the prize given to the winners of the MOST is a P25,000 per semester to help pay for the graduation tuition fee for four years, as long as the student is able to maintain academic excellence.

Here are the MOST 2007:

Sweet, Sweet Summer

Never a minute I've been thinking about summer these days, as you know the school year is coming to an end. Though, us MunScians still have classes until the first week of April, even though our periodical test are next week. I'm thinking summer...maybe back at Pangasinan? That's a good choice. Or maybe, read hundreds of novels or books throughout the summer.

Come to think of it, when I spend summer at home, I could watch Pokemon all week! All day! By the way. The fourth generation of Pokemon has finally begun. All Pokemons now have english names (which was leaked from Gamefaqs) and the Sinnoh region series are starting this summer. Which I can find YouTube a little useful. I also found a trainer card making site. Here's mine:

Wishing it's summer already... How 'bout you? Oh, I'm also planning to transfer to WordPress but I don't know how to use it... If you do, please tell me.

Until next time, see 'ya

The Going Ons at MunSci

My!! So little time, so much to do. I can't even decide what to do on my free time. Either post here or do something else of more importance. A week after my last post, that day was Monday, aired the entry of my schoolmate, Kuya Ivan Coronado(4th year), in the noontime game show, Game KNB? So, it was him who stepped on to the next round which was aired the day after that, Tuesday. If you've watched, you'd know that he won the 1M which is still not given to him until this March. I planned to become a moderator of PKMNph that time around.

The next day, I started greeting everybody a "Happy Valentines Day!". CH-Armstrong gave me a token, a giraffe stuffed toy as precise, for the gift I gave her last Christmas. Of course, I would never forget the practice of the JS-Prom. Haaay, you know Jan Manual of Starstruck? He went to school to cast for votes. Then, a group of San Beda's visited at school. Oh, I also wouldn't this one. We went to Festival Mall to do a project. Some kind of shopping spree wherein we must buy 7 items to fit in a 100 peso bill. Aaand... our group did it!! We got 100% in our project at Elective Math!!

A week after that. More things came up. Summatives, quizzes,... the usual. Also this is the week for practicing our cultural dance, Salakot for us and Maglalatik for the others. Feb. 28, we don't have classes for this...NAT(National Achievement Test), I think. March 1, 2007, we still don't have classes because it's Muntinlupa Day, yay!! Oh, March 2, my father's birthday. Then, March 3, the cultural presentation, which shattered my nerves.

Ah... this week is unique, this is the time where we vote for the next SC(Student Council). The parties S.I.G.E.E and S.U.R.E interrupts some of the classes to campaign. Then March 6, is the Meeting de Advance of the parties and the actual voting. The next day, I've heard that people have voted all members of S.U.R.E which dismayed me. And then, there's this note passing around that we have a field trip at March 31! How exciting! They also announced who will join DAT(Division Achievement Test). This day, we have classes in payment for the suspension of classes in the week when Storm Milenyo striked.

Oh! So much to do. That moderator test took up a lot of time... I'm also working on a novel to join in a contest about a overview of my life... I sure hope I finish it

That is all. I hope to post more oftenly to keep this blog more alive.

Was it a week or a month?

"Such shame"...those are the words that I caught during our practice on our radio drama of Sepang Loca on our English class. Nothing special, just..uh..sharing? Probably, I have lots to share since I'm not posting for days and days and days.

We had this radio drama about a crazy woman called Sepang Loca. And it was a success. We started our English class very good and ended the week very bad.

Oh, and I forgot to tell about our Math camp last January 26, 2007. It really was an enjoying activity!! I was just to tell about this a week ago but I can't because we've been using this laptop for our recording session of the radio drama.

Then, I had these headache that started Monday noon. I forced myself to stay there but I can't resist. The next day after that, I rested for the whole day with my tita and ates. Ugnh... then there is this that, that I missed, this that I missed, those that I missed, that I haven't passed, which were just inventions of my classmate, which are just only few things that I've missed.

Recently, five of us classmates, made a novel that has us as the bidas. We are making somewhat of a story just like Asian Treasures of GMA. But, in this novel, we joined different kinds of plots and storylines. The title isn't decided yet but our antagonist is final, my classmate Marty. Haha, he says he wants...!! ^_^

A while ago, we saw our rankings (overall, top ten, blah...blah). In the overall, I ranked 110. And in our class, 15 (if there are ties) or 17 (if there are no ties). Lucky, though, last quarter I ranked 23 in class and somewhere in 150+ at the overall.

Until next time, see ya round!!

Harry Potter

Enjoying the new template layout? Well, there'll be more later this month. I'll make sure to get the music back because filelodge's site is underconstruction, unabling me to get any songs. And also please visit my blog at Friendster. I totally convinced myself to update that yesterday because I had nothing to do but surf the 'net. That's what I'm busy with yesterday and today.

Years have passed, Harry Potter became more famous and famous everyday, every month, every year. But as what as I've concluded, people have known Harry Potter on movies and not in the books. Some says its hard to understand because they haven't read the series yet. Otherwise, us readers, are annoyed that some "scenes" in the book are ommited in the movies and some edited. Let's make a comparing in the movies and books shall we?

Harry Potter and the...

...Sorcerer's Stone- I don't remember some of this anymore but, here it goes... In the movie, they didn't show how Hermione split up with them at the scene where Harry would face Quirrel(did I spell it correctly?). Hermione really solved a er...somewhat a puzzle to let Harry pass to get through the obstacles and face Quirrel and Voldy, hehe.

...Chamber of Secrets- The Death Day party wasn't shown. The movie didn't clearly show how Harry and Ron got Crabbe and Goyle's hair and how Hermione got the "essense of Millicent Bullstrode", HAHAHA...

...Prisoner of Azkaban- Quidditch Finals wasn't seen in the movie. Harry received the Firebolt at the end and not when he still didn't know Sirius Black well. It was then that Prof. McGonagall confiscated the Firebolt for examine if there are curses upon it.

...Goblet of Fire- The Dursleys didn't appear in this movie, hehe. Harry dreamt of Hangleton at the Burrow and not at Privet Drive, ^_^. Quidditch World Cup was not fully seen. Winky didn't appear. My favorite part, the Sphinx's riddle wasn't shown.

...Order of the Phoenix- Coming Soon!! This year na!! Yehey!!

...Half-Blood Prince- Coming Soon!! Next year pa siguro!! Wahehe

...Deathly Hallows(not sure)- Coming Soon!! Next, next year siguro!! Waaaaahhh!!! -_-"

Was your attention upon the title of the 7th book? I thought you would!! I've heard about this since last, last, last, last month from a foreign friend. He says this wasn't sure yet so I musn't talk about it yet. But I saw one of the KHQers open a thread about Deathly Hallows. The Do Not Disturb sign at JK Rowling's website is now gone!! And it will open you to a Hangman game to let you guess the 7th book's title.

New Year, New Life, New Ideas

Funny how I made the title. Well, first of all I'd like to greet you with a belated HAPPY NEW YEAR!! I wanted to make this post since the first week of January but, hehe, I'm very lazy to update this blog. They say 2007 is a year of success our whatits. Maybe, I'll improve my grades this quarter (*sana nga*).

To all my novel readers; Thank you for your support from the year before. I wish that you may give me more ideas to come up with and useful comments on my novel. Actually, since my visit at Pangasinan, I've came up with two new novels. One is inspired from a hen at Pangasinan that is totally cute!! The second is about a boy with a power to make his imaginations come true... Syempre, itutuloy ko pa rin yung MunSci Life at fanfic ng Pokemon.

Finally, our periodic test are over. I dealed with Elem. Algebra, Filipino, and EP(Edukasyong Pagpapahalaga/Values Ed) pretty easily. This day, after the tests, we went to Festival Mall!! First time ko talaga mag liwaliw. (^_^)

Until next time, see ya'!

P.S.

I haven't uploaded the pictures of our Pangasinan adventures, sorry!! I'll try when I'm really available :-P
