Remembering Rizal

     José Protacio Rizal Mercado y Alonso Realonda  was a Filipino nationalist and reformist. He is considered one of the national heroes of the Philippines. He is a patriot, physician and man of letters whose life and literary works were an inspiration to the Philippine nationalist movement.  

January 18, 2013, the date when we went to the Assumption Antipolo to watch a stage play entitled “Christine Bellen’s Batang Rizal”. I still remember our journey towards stage play. Our journey started at our school, around 11:30 am, we all gathered at our classroom and went to our designated Jeepney, in our jeepney that composed of the entire girl in St. Thomas, Renghie, and our school librarian, Ma’am Andales.




In our way to assumption, we just listened to the music to burn down our boredom. In assumption, we wait for few minutes to enter the theatre, while waiting we just eat, talk, and talk. After some few minutes Ma’am Flormata call our attention and guided us in their place to unite all St. Thomas. To lose again our boredom, Zaira and the rest of the gang beat some green leaf, I don’t know what exactly it’s name but as far as I remembered they called it chicharo. And after few minutes, one staff guided us to enter the theatre.




When we are on the theatre, we just sit back, relax and enjoy the show. But I don’t know if my seatmate watching the show or watching her crush, she keep on yelling like there is no one else around but kidding aside. We watch the show the show is all about Pepito, a young boy from the future opens a magical book that becomes a magical portal to the past and future. In his journey, he comes face-to-face with another young lad, Pepe aka Jose Rizal and finds himself exploring colonial Calamba. He takes Pepe to the future and they journey into an exciting series of events that reveal the truth about heroes, love and friendship. Over all we enjoy the show. After the show we go back to our designated jeepney and went back to school, and went to our home with a smile on our face. And that’s our journey ends.

It's Good to live life with a plenty of friends :D (Process analysis)

“A friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still, gently allows you to grow”

 -William Shakespeare. 

A friend is a person whom one knows, likes, and trusts. And one who supports and sympathizes with. It’s good to live with a plenty of friends. But how do we gain friends? Here are some steps and tips to a good start.

First, be friendly, a better start to have friend is be a friendly. Being friendly help us to gain friends. Don’t be too shy.

Second, be a good listener. It is not necessary to be a good speaker but you should be a good listener. People seek friends who will care to listen to what they are saying. It will help us to gain more friends.

Third, if your friend needs you, be there for him/her. A part of being a friend is sacrificing some of your time for your friend. If they need a shoulder to cry on, then be there. Let them know that you care for them.

Fourth, Respect and trust. Both elements have to be there. And it has to be mutual. You can respect for someone, but if you don’t have trust, the friendship will crumble.

Lastly, be yourself. Don’t let be anyone just to have friend. Just be yourself and someone will find your uniqueness attractive.

We should remember that the rule of friendship means there should be mutual sympathy between them, each supplying what the other lacks and trying to benefit the other, always using friendly and sincere words. We should appreciate all the things we have in our lives including our friends, Because It's Good to live life with a plenty of friends.
