A Drop of Water

     Many of us are used to faucets, showers and bath tubs when we take a bath, wash the dishes and clean things. Many of us could not live without taking a bath for three times in a day or more. Many of us pour large amount of water inside a glass but drink only few, what happens to the excess? Of course we throw. These bad attitudes of humans when it comes to water conservation worsens and we do not tend to realize that if we continue these bad doings of us, water would be a demand, not only for a short time but maybe forever. 

From http://google.com

    I just realized these things when water became a shortage in our community, it is because the transformer that operates machines in our Water connections was being destroyed by the Typhoon Bebeng, which passed the Philippines for two weeks now, until now, there is now water that you could get from the faucets. The only option to do is going to the nearby water pump, which is two blocks away from our house, so we pump and pump everyday. After that hardship in pumping, you would really realize to conserve water because it is so hard to get it and collect it. You should possess powerful arms in order for you to pump water and carry the basins back to your house. When somebody would take a bath, there will also be some reminders so that everyone could use the water which has been collected and no one should be left alone. Arguments occur when someone used too much, surely he/she would be stoned with hard words. From that day on, until now, water became the hot topic inside the house and as well as inside the community, my mother commissioned individuals to create our own pump so that we will not exert too much time and energy pumping from the other house. 

    The dilemma became an eye opener. We should all conserve water, every single drop is very important, every single drop is being paid by our parents, and every single drop is a part of a river, an ocean, a sea, a spring which water came from to clean, grow plants and refreshes our body. Be responsible enough and be a concern individual.

Good Morning

Back To School, whether you like it or YOU LIKE IT!

      Days are counting and we should all bid goodbye to the long vacation and say hello again to our campuses, teachers, deans, principals, friends, enemies, girlfriends, boyfriends, classmates and of course, our cheatmates. We should prepare our selves because surely, we would be getting hard out of bed, waking-up early and many things that we are free from during the vacation. The books are again taken out from the shelves, should be cleaned before classes start and as well as the budget for the supplies we need for the school. Well, whether you like it or YOU LIKE IT, you should do the necessary procedures to prepare for school, besides it's your annual activity on the last dates of May before June enters the calendar. Perhaps, you have read already many things before you get inside that classroom where you will give your all for the whole year, the best and nothing but the best.

    I just remembered my first days of classes during my kindergarten years and elementary as well, I cry, shout and call for my grandmom who used to bring me to school before, the new faces, the new objects that I have and many things. Entering something always needs adjustment and acceptance, if you will not accept the fact that you are a student and you need education just to pursue your dreams and become successful, then you will surely fail and fall in a bottomless pit of your life. For God sake! You should be used to it, carry on and be confident, besides it would be your future which is being talked about here, it's not them, it's not about everybody, it is all about you and your success waiting for you on that future ahead of you. No one can beat you but yourself, so why fear of new faces? Why fear of new teachers? They would just be the road signs of your path that would lead you to something good, and most importantly molding you to become a better individual and a better citizen of your society. Nobody could help you with this reality of the circle of life but yourself because you are the one who carries it and no one does it for you. Being positive in all aspects of life is a good thing to hear and see, for it inspires every individual that surrounds you like your friends, enemies, teachers and your parents as well.

   Do not be afraid of new tasks in school, new projects and expectations of hardship because these just mean that you have acquired new knowledge and moved to another level of difficulty. Everyone should be studios enough so that the hard works of our parents would not be took for granted. School is an exciting place, it is the place where the keys for your door of success hangs and in order to grab it, you should be strong enough to face challenges of student life. Being inside the four corners of the campus is just a milestone that you should pass, for it is only a part of living that molds you to sore high and be a leader to your society, not necessarily a leader but a follower of good heart and advocacy.

   So class, let's get the party started, be excited, enjoy the last days of vacation but be prepare for another journey that awaits all of us in June.

    Welcome back to School!

Good Afternoon

Eat Net Burrp!

         It's so good to spend the afternoon with some stuff for the stomach. For today, I ate nuts from the store of my aunt, biscuit and a small size of Cola, just good for a person who spends almost 24 hours facing the computer and doing some social networking. As I eat all these stuff, I felt happiness even though in a cheap amount, I felt full and contented of what I have ate, simple food yet too much happiness. Eating these kinds of food should also be moderated because there are only small amounts of minerals that you could get, obviously, a soft drink was included so it would be understood that we should moderate these kinds of food and eat it only for sometimes.

      The "Happy Peanut", a brand famous for it's cheap prize but good taste, a brand of nuts were some advantages for the body were included, precisely because it has nuts that are good for the brain. It should be moderated for it includes salt, which is bad if being ate in large amount. The next brand is "Rebisco Biscuit", just right and no disadvantage in the body except the sugar that would be taken if ate in large amount. And last but not the least, the famous "Sakto of Coca Cola", a soft drink brand which is famous all over the globe, it carries large amount of sugar and caffeine which is very bad for the body, that is why it should be drunk for a quite some time.

        After eating, while surfing the net, I released a B U R R R R R R R R RPPP!!!!

Hail All Hail For I Truly Love Zambales Almater Hail- my school experiences

           Ba Be Bi Bo Bu! Ka Ke Ki Ko Ku! The syllables that you could hear inside our house when I was 2 and a half years old, it was before my father died from an ambush in our place, maybe he was the one who first introduced to me those letters, numbers, colors and shape with my mother but unfortunately he didn't hear me construct a sentence and tell him that I love him so much, but moving on I entered Kindergarten in Palauig Ecumenical Learning Center which was a stone's throw away from our house. My Kinder school was the first place where I first encountered those letters and first constructed my Sentences, read books and count numbers which helped me move on to the next chapter of study, elementary.

    St. Augustine's School at Iba, Zambales, a Private Catholic school, one town away from my kinder school was my elementary school and where I learned harder subjects, constructed paragraphs and wrote essays. I also experienced culture shock because I've already lifted my self from nursery rhymes and as well as the traditional assignments to be done by my mother, now on my own to accomplish and my responsibility to finish. I've met new friends, fought new enemies and faced harder problems than my kinder days. My elementary alma mater changed me a lot and taught me gospel teachings and moved me closer to my creator, I prayed the rosary, introduced to saints and read the readings to the church. It was good and very memorable but no one can beat the next chapter which is High School.    

       High School was the greatest stage of being a student and it is also the most memorable one for it showcases the glimpse of being a matured individual and the enjoyment of being         

youth, the laughs, the tears, the sadness, the happiness and as well as victories and loses. My classmates who became my inspiration to be successful, my girlfriend whom I cherished the most and shared my high school life with. Zambales National High School, the mother school of the division of Zambales, my province where I lived half of my life. ZNHS became the sanctuary of my success and my unforgettable fate. It was destined to give me achievements which I cherished and kept. It was also the institution that gave me new opportunities of being a student leader, an ambassador, assistant, editor-in-chief and as well as a true individual. High School life molded me to form my future and helped me think to be a teacher, which I started and currently molding now for the next chapter which is College.                                                         

         Philippine Normal University, the Country's National Center for Teacher Education, an institution where my mother and her mother finished their degree. Yes they are both teachers, they were those person who helped me realized my chosen degree for the future and my chosen career for success. Currently, I am a 2nd year Bachelor of Secondary Education student in Languages majoring in the English Language. English is my favorite subject during kinder, elementary and high school. I am interested in reading, maybe because on an early age, I was already introduced to books. I just hope that I'll finished my BSE degree for me to find a good job and pursue Masters up to my Doctoral degree which will be the key for me to be a successful educator and as well as an inspiration to the youth and my generation.

      The title "Hail All Hail For I Truly Love Zambales Alma Mater Hail" came from words from the lyrics of my 3 school the first three words "Hail All Hail" came from the last sentences of the lyrics of St. Augustine's Hymn. The next 5 words which is "For I Truly Love Zambales " just came from the lyrics of Zambales Hymn, the Alma Mater hymn of Zambales National High School and finally "Alma Mater Hail" from the lyrics of PNU hymn.

Good Evening                                          

    Defense of the Ancient or as everyone knows, DOTA all stars, it is a phenomenal game which made changes to lives of teenagers who started playing it since the game started several years ago. Many teachers are so mad of this game for it steals the attention of students from productive learning. I personally knew some people who are very interested on this game and actually they were my classmates, sometimes they tend to cut classes just to play this game when it was a big hit. A computer shop will not be completed if you would not see anyone who plays this game, we should admit that it is already a part of our lives, a part of everyday living and leisure as it should be. During my elementary days, my classmates are also fund of playing such games but I can't understand why they couldn't invite me or pull me to the shop and play, maybe it is not my type of game. But during highschool I started playing Battle realms which I became addicted to but during the vacation only until this group of boys inside the class "PURMEN" invited me and let me watch them play the game, but still I don't like it until i asked if there is a portion of a game like Battle realms and poof! I found it good, i play with the humans, orcs, undeads and the night elves. But still I'm not that addicted to the game, I just like it now more than before, thank you to my classmates who've introduced me this game which they were addicted into.

       This post is a special tribute to my classmates before and to all those people who are very interested to DOTA All Stars. Hope you like it and I hope you'll leave some comments, thank you!

The Rayven's Post(literary) Phenomenal Teacher by Rayven Aledo

Good morning class are her first sentence for us

and we answer her with love and trust.

We give our best in every class

and make her feel good in every task.

Yes she is the teacher, that I never had,

the kind of teacher that will make you glad.

In the midst of sadness, she would be there for you,

Yes she is the teacher that rocks you.

She's an extraordinary, of her kind,

Her words are hurting but surely changing.

Lives of students she has changed,

stories of success and fights she arranged.

"Be simple but be rock!"

the words she left for us to keep,

the student-teacher relationship was so deep,

and when we left her we all weep.

Now we've started a new path,

we missed those tears and laughs.

The phenomenal teacher that we loved,

the kind of teacher everyone should have.

    This poem is dedicated to my favorite teacher, Mrs. Ma. Aurea Serrano and all the teachers out there, my adviser during my junior years. She is the teacher that everyone should have, she is fearless, she will say whatever she wanted to say without plasticity that will surely change the students outlook in life positively. I salute all of the teachers that will soon be my co-leagues, thank you for the memories and the knowledge you have imparted to us.

The Rayven's Post(literary) Jeep ni Rayven Aledo

Natatanging sasakyan sa ating bayan,

Jeep ang bansag na pangalan.

Nakatutulong sa maraming tao,

sa kanilang pagpasok sa eskwela't trabaho.

Ang tsuper nito na kaibigang tuwina,

naghahatid ng serbisyong kay bilis pa.

Siguradong ika'y makakarating

sa paroroonang nais abutin.

Jeepney na kayganda sa mata,

sa ibang bansa'y 'di mo makikita.

Ang katawan mong masining na nilikha 

at busina mong animo'y musika.

Jeepney, ika'y transportasyong maituturing,

at kapag diwa mo'y dumarating,

alam ko'y ako'y makararating,

sa daang nais gunitain.

Hindi ko alam kung anong gagawin,

kung ika'y nawala sa bansang mahal.

Dala mong pag-alis ng agam-agam, 

tiyak na hahanap-hanapin ng mamamayan. 

   This poem is entitled to promote the Philippine tourism and erase colonial mentality among individuals, it uplifts the Jeep which is the unique transportation that could only be found in the Philippines.

The Rayven's Post(literary) Pagtangis ni Rayven Aledo

Tubig na nagmula sa iyong mga mata,

tulay upang ipakita ang nadarama.

Bawat pagpatak nito'y iyong makikita,

kung tao'y nalulumbay o maligaya.

Bakit sa mundong ito, kahinaang maituturing

ang luhang bunga ng paninimdim,

dahil sa pasakit ng kahapong madilim 

at taghoy ng pusong nilagim.

Sa mundo 'ring ito iyong mamamasdan,

isang patak naman para sa kaligayahan,

tagumpay na inaasam-asam,

iyong nakamit dahil sa mabuting pagkamkam.

Ang luha'y hindi kahinaan,

panaghoy ito ng kaluluwang nais pumukaw.

Damdamin ng pusong uhaw, 

sa pag-ibig ng isang mabuting lakan.

Luha, diniligan ang kalupaan,

sumibol ang mundong may katatagan.

Ngayon, masasabi mo pa bang kahinaan,

ang pagluhang bunga ng busilak na padamdam.

    The poem gives salute to those people who are not afraid to show their feelings to a certain subject, tears or crying are not manifestations of being a coward, it is the symbol of strength to a certain occasion of sadness.

The Rayven's Post(literary) INA, AMA, ANAK ni Rayven Aledo

Kaligayahan ng mundong ito, kanilang nakita

Nang ika'y masilayan sa una nilang gunita.

Lahat ng bagay, kanilang ikinatutuwa,

maging pagdinig sa unang salita.

Si ama at si ina, unang naging guwardiya,

unang dalawang iyong nakilala.

Kagandahan ng ugali't iyong mga asal,

pinag-igihan nilang ituro't maging pagdarasal.

Mahal ka noon, mahal ka ngayon,

labis nga lang minsan kung gayon.

Pag-ibig na ito, kanilang inalay,

naging sandata mo't naging gabay.

Laso ito na nagbibigkis sa inyo.

Minsan nga lang nakasasakal na ito,

hindi nga lang natin pwedeng kwestyunin

dahil maaaring mayurakan, puso nila't damdamin.

Ika'y buhay dahil sa kanila,

ika'y gumagalaw sa pag-ibig nila.

Walang dahilan upang ika'y mayamot.

Suklian na lamang sila ng pagmamahal ring lubos.

     This poem was made to help the juvenile delinquents realize the true meaning of being a parent and as well as the true love of their parents for them that gave them life and success.

The Rayven's Post(literary) Tiwalang Lubos ni Rayven Aledo

Pagkupkop ng iyong pusong mahabagin,

pag-ibig na 'sing dami ng buhangin.

Mapusyaw na hangaring abot, 

tuwa't ligaya sa kapwa'y dulot.

Labis na tiwala'y iyong inihandog,

sa pag-ibig, kapwa mo'y nilubog.

Kagandahan pa ba ang dulot nito?

kung sa huli'y puso'y maaasido.

Tiwala, bigay mo sa kanino man,

mag-ingat nga lang sa kapalaluan.

Maraming tao ang mapagabalat-gayo,

makuha lamang ang damdamin mo't puso.

Kabaitan mo'y kapansin-pansin,

sagot sa mga taong naninimdim.

Tao ka ngang maituturing,

kabutihan mo'y abot langit ang aabutin.

   Another poem created by myself, a poem for people who give their trust to others so fast without seeing first the true person behind the face they first saw.

The Rayven's Post(literary) Ikapitong Langit ni Rayven Aledo

Tagumpay mong maituturing sa buhay,

makamit ang ligaya't diwang makulay.

Halos nakaabot ka sa ikapitong langit,

maging iyong mata'y naniningkit.

Ligaya'y 'di lamang tagumpay,

ligaya'y makukuha rin sa kagamitang materyal.

Kalabisan ng iyong saya,

hinay-hinayin at baka mawala.

Mahirap mabuhay sa mundong ito,

mahirap mabuhay ng walang ngiti.

Sa buhay dapat ay may ginto

Ngunit dapat din ay tumigil at huminto.

Ang lahat ng saya'y hinay-hinayin,

iyong ligaya'y himay-himayin.

Tirhan ang kinabukasan ng diwang ito,

upang makamit ang ikapitong langit ng buhay mo.

     "Ikapitong langit" is a poem of mine which i constructed for a friend, this is one of the 5 poems that I made for almost 20 minutes only even though that time was already 12 midnight, maybe because if you are really inspired and focused on anything that you need to do, you will accomplish it beautifully and with grace.

Blue Skies will be missed again!

     For two months time, we've enjoyed our summer vacations and I know all of us still can't leave our beds, chairs, swings and the beach but we should accept the fact that summer is all over and let us all bid goodbye to the blue skies where we saw all the birds and as well as those plains passing by. Rainy season again came and unfortunately, it would be more rigid than last year because of the La Niña Phenomenon that brings frequent pouring of rains. The blue skies will fade and will show maybe for one or two days but again fade, and show and fade and so on down the line, a cycle that will be observed by many when the rains come. 

    The hot weather is also a cause of excessive rains during rainy seasons because it is like a triggering  device that inhibits the cold weather from the opposite corner of the globe to mix up with the hot weather and form rain carrying clouds. 

      Goddbye to the clear skies and hello to the gray skies. Blue skies, thank you for a very memorable summer vacation, 'til we meet again, you would be missed.
