When I'm inside a jeepney, I heard an old lady taking about my grandfather. She said that he was the one who first to set foot on my birthplace. I was shocked of course.
My grandpa was a teacher. He's from Iloilo and went to Mindanao to teach. He became the principal of four schools. Then he met my grand mother. Actually, i have so many questions to ask to him but he's gone already. He was murdered by an unknown thieves.
Even though I haven't talked to him and haven't seen him yet, I know that someday I will get to know him better and ask him the things I'd like to know. Who knows he'll visit me in my dreams..
I know that when people heard the place Cotabato the first thing that comes in their minds is,"isn't that a dangerous place?? I only answer them with a smile. As far as everyone know the place Cotabato was famous because of bombs, killings and other crimes. But for the information of everyone, it's a beautiful place. A place where people help each other to survive. A place where natures are preserved. You can see many kinds of fruits and plants. TUNA CAPITAL OF THE PHILIPPINES is found at General Santos City which is a part of Cotabato. The world's boxing champ is from Cotabato itself. It's not the kind of place to be afraid of, it's the place to be proud of. No matter what other people say, I will continue to change it's image to everyone just to prove that it's a wonderful place to make friends and to enjoy the beauty of nature.

ALARMING ISSUE
Is it summer already? Do you guys change clothes thrice a day?
These few questions comes up on my mind every time I go outside the house. People always brought umbrella with them for protection. When the heat of the sun touches your skin, it feels like it's burning you to pieces. In most cities, most of the people switch on their fans and air conditioners all day even at night, because of hotness.
As studies shown, the ozone layer has becoming thinner and thinner everyday. When this continues to happen, the whole world will experience great floods, hunger and thirst. The large ice caps melts, and the earth will be covered with water, which most people can't survive especially those who cannot swim.
People should be aware of this catastrophe and other calamities. We should lessen this by saving our mother nature and not by destroying it. As early as possible let us warn ourselves to decrease pollution, this can only be done if we cooperate to the laws and programs to save and to preserve our environment.

MY ULTIMATE HERO
A hero is an individual who can serve as an example, that's what others belief. For me a hero are the ones who gave me an opportunity to live in this world. They are my inspiration to continue struggling and to overcome so many difficulties of life. They were the ones who will do everything just for your own good and happiness. Who stays besides you when you feel down and hopeless. They are willing to protect you no matter what.
Heroes were not only the ones who risk their lives for their country and to those who gave fame.
They are my inspiration. They make me proud in so many ways and I will do everything just to make them happy. My ultimate heroes are my NANAY, TATAY and the ALMIGHTY FATHER.

BEST SHARING EVER!!!!
Activity 6
It was August 23, 2010 when we done sharing with our partners. She shared her most unforgettable day when she's in Surigao. I was impressed with her story, I told her God is good all the time. When it was my turn to share, I simply told her,"I don't know how to start". Well, the truth is I forgot the other details of my life.
I thought about one thing. The things that made me stronger here in Iligan even if I'm miles away from my family. I thought it was easy to be far away from home, but it isn't. It's very hard to pretend to be okay. The reason why I'm here was that i made a vow to my Nanay and Tatay to finish my studies and to graduate here at MSU IIT, so that I can help my family and to other people someday. I know I can pass all this obstacles with the support of my parents and with the guidance of the Almighty Father and of course with my determination..

ACTIVITY 5
The story of CARPENTER'S GIFT tells us that no matter how complicated life is there's always someone who's willing to help.
As you observed people these days loved to dwell with others, that's because they cannot swallow their pride and therefore stand on what they believe is right.
Honestly, I've had a situation like this before, someone betrayed me, and the saddest part was they're my friends closest friends. It's hard to handle that kinda situation, and I almost forgot the word forgiveness. But someone lead me to the right way. He opened my eyes to the reality that whatever sin others done to you don't forget to forgive them because pride and hatred couldn't help you. He was right. Now, even people around me try to destroy my well-being, and my personality and even if they love to discriminate me and my family, I won't let my anger control me, instead I will still open my doors to forgive them. As what GOD did.
In relation to the story, if I choose between the fence builder and the bridge builder, I will choose the bridge builder, because being a bridge builder is a better way to make peace and it will lead you to the right way. While a fence builder will only making things more complicated.
The carpenter did the right thing ha made a bridge instead of a fence to make the two brothers learn to forgive each other. As for me, the carpenter of my life is GOD for he showed me the good results of forgiveness.
Let us all remember that, "to err is human; to forgive is divine".

ACTIVITY 4
Education is very important for us to achieve our dreams.
I was inspired by the determination of Hani to study in an international school even if she's poor and doesn't even know how to speak English. This was not a hindrance for her to achieve her dreams, her immense immense courage and great determination helped her.
Many of the youth today don't go to school because of financial problems. there are also some students who love to do unnecessary things like, drinking liquors, smoking and taking drugs instead of focusing onto their studies. They do not think of their parents who worked hard just to send them to school.
As for me, I was really glad that my parents send me to school to continue my studies for me to be able to pursue my dreams. I will not waste this opportunity to do bad things that will make my parents upset. I will do my best to make my promises come true. Because we all know that, "it is not intelligence alone that brings success, but also the drive to succeed, the commitment to work hard, and the courage to believe in yourself."
ACTIVITY 3
"Manners are a tool to remind us of others around us."
People nowadays are thinking only of themselves. they do not even care others that surround them. It's hard to see people who doesn't have proper manners. they tend to forget saying thank you, excuse me, please and sorry, when accommodating to others. I do admit that, sometimes i forgot to say thank you but, that was a long time ago because i always bear in mind that proper manners are very important every time you deal to other people.
Let us always remember to teach our societies to gain proper manners but, before that let us be a good examples ourselves.
