What if EDSA I didn’t happen?


What if EDSA I didn’t happen? 

27 years after EDSA I, a daydream of a honor student


I wasn’t born on February 25, 1986. I didn’t see what happened that day. I look at my computer and search YouTube clips of the People power as the revolution. I watched as the people began celebrating the fall of a dictatorship and the rise of a new democracy. And I think about it, I ask myself:


“What if EDSA I didn’t happen at all?” 

I think, then slowly fade into a daydream.

The year is 2013, and Manila is quite. People stay at their homes, afraid to go outside. The faces of the people are filled with pity and fear. 47 years of despotic dictatorship have made the people become hopeless.

Ferdinand Marcos is long dead, yet one of his cronies took his place as the new dictator. I turn on the T.V. and I see the news, news that probably is controlled by the government. The news anchor reports about a writer arrested for writing bad things about the regime.

The video shows a man being led away, to a jail cell. I feel pity for the man. So saddening that this man, who simply stated his own beliefs, wrote his convictions and showed his want for change is now being arrested. It is only now that I see a person get arrested for saying the TRUTH. 

Journalism is dead. All you see in T.V., all you hear on the radio, and all you read in the newspaper, is all propaganda. All meant to praise the regime and fool the people. 

I look outside the window, and caught sight of a few teens sneaking away. Most of the youth don’t go to school anymore. Some joined the resistance. Some became rebels and went to the mountains. Everyday, I see more of them get taken away to a truck. Where the truck goes? That I don’t know.

Just last week Aling Nene’s eldest son, Carlo was taken and loaded to a truck. Aling Nene begged the guards to be merciful. But the guards didn’t budge. I haven’t seen Carlo ever since. 

Day in and day out, people remain at their homes. They do not leave. They are oppressed, hungry and hopeless. The parents don’t go out for work, because there are no jobs. They are stuck at their homes, dreading and cursing each day that passes.

Children do not play in the sun anymore. Parents get mad at their children if they want to play outside. The children are taught to be quite. For even the slightest of noise can irritate the guards. 

There are no banderitas, no festive sounds. All is quite. There are no fiestas, no celebrations.

It is night, and the curfew is in effect. I gaze again out the window, and saw a man walking alone, he was trembling. He knew that the guards will take him away too if they caught him.

From behind him came two more silhouettes. They wore uniforms and were rushing to get the man. He man looked back and tried running, but he cant. The guards were gaining on him. The man trued all his might, but he got caught. There was shouting, out of pure desperation the man punched one of the men in uniform. 

He broke free and made a run for it.

Then one of the guards got something from his hip. The object was black as the night. He aimed the object at the man running. He squeezed the object with intent.
Time slowed down. The silence of the night was broken by a loud sound came from the object the guard was carrying. Time still moved slowly. The man fell to the ground. Lifeless. Dead. 

The gunshot was  so loud that I awoke from my daydream. I have beads of sweat on my forehead, and my heart was pounding hard and fast. 

I look myself in the mirror and I say to myself:

So this is what happens, if there was no EDSA I.

We are more than just classmates, we are FAMILY

We are more than just classmates,

we are FAMILY



Group One of IV-Rizal getting ready
to perform a dance number
High school for me would have been dull without my classmates from IV-1 Rizal. We've had some good times, and we've been through the worst. Now that I'm about to graduate, I'll miss these FORTY-SIX familiar faces.

Por-wan (FOUR-ONE) Rizal, is a rowdy crowd. They are all so noisy.  I hear peole talking about showbiz stars on one side of the room, and I see people copying today's homework on the other. And this happens, everyday for the last nine months. 

FOUR-ONE RIZAL, Running for a cause
for the Red Cross! 
I can't help but laugh and smile. And laugh some more. With jokes that simply come out of the blue. I can't help but sing along to every corny love song they sing. I can't help but dance along every beat of Gangnam style.

POR-WAN RIZAL, like children,
playing tag, and other games


Even in the most minuscule, ridiculous and simply stupid topics Por-Wan Rizal always has a good time. Even in the most harrowing and saddening of events, Por-Wan Rizal finds a way to smile. 
But then there are moments that Rizal simply quiets down. Silent. Not speaking a word. Dull moments. Then out of the blue, somebody farts or says something stupid, and we all crack up. We find ourselves gasping for air because we are laughing so hard! 

Por-Wan Rizal, is a family. United we stand and united we fall. Through good and bad. Through thick and thin, IV-I Rizal sticks as one! 

Por-Wan Rizal shines as they perform a medley at the
Christmas Cantata Celebration
There are times we are faced with conflicts, problems and trials. Sure we have our misunderstanding, but Rizal gets it done. We try to make amends, we try to forgive, we try to empathize.

And we've been through a lot, that I can tell you. But Rizal's unity binds us together. True to the words of Charice's song Pyramid: 

"Earthquakes can't shake us  Cyclones can't break us

Hurricanes can't
 make us fall apart"

Rizal stands as one. One for all. All for one! 

Por-Wan Rizal, helps each other out. Everything is a collaborative effort. Each person tries to do his part. We are a diverse group. We have singers, dancers, artists and writers. Being the cream-of-the-crop section, we enter a lot of contests both local and city-wide. And we often do win. With this group of talented people we all do our share to make Rizal, section 1, SHINE! 

Florentino Torres High School bags FIRST PLACE at a competition on Theatrical Arts.
Por wan Rizal made a big portion of the chorale, performing the Broadway hit CATS THE MUSICAL


IV-I getting ready to go to the contest
And because of our efforts, our combined and collaborative efforts, we win together, we celebrate together. And if we lose? We lean on each other! 

There is more to Rizal than just a section. We are a family. Definitely more than just students, no. We are deeper. We treat each other  like brothers and sisters, not as mere friends. 

The beautiful ladies of Por-Wan Rizal
all in their togas
 to get their graduation pics.
I'll miss Rizal, Por-Wan Rizal. I'll miss the smiles, the laughs, and the tears. But most of all, I'll miss the memories I've made with them. 

So yes, after we receive our diplomas, after we hug, after we wish ourselves the best. We will be all going our seperate ways.

But we will NEVER EVER forget each other. 

Because we are more than just classmates,                                              

we are family,

we are POR-WAN RIZAL

How to enjoy High School


How to enjoy high school


 Welcome to high school. Welcome to one of the most important chapters in our lives.

People tell us that high school is the greatest thing that ever happened to them. 
New friends, first BF/GF, newly-found independence and that feeling of starting anew, a new life, a new beginning.

And some tell us that it is the most miserable part of their lives.  No friends, left out, bullied and a feeling of pure desperation to graduate and forget about high school as soon as possible.

I am about to graduate high school and it has  been one heck of a ride. And there were five things I l earned to a very happy and memorable high school life.




BE YOURSELF

People are unique. We all have something that is all our won. Whether we are singers, dancers, nerds, jocks or even cheerleaders, we are who we are.
embrace yourself. accept who you are.

We must not be PRETENTIOUS, and it would do no good if we pretend to be someone we are not. Actually, it will be doing more harm than good. 

Wouldn’t it be bad if people knew that we were lying, lying about our so-called relationships, lying about how we diet, lying about all the chics we banged. Lying about how rich our parents are. Lies, lies, lies.
In the end people would be avoiding us. That’s  a bad thing right?



BE THE BEST YOU CAN BE, don’t BE AFRAID

We must all be content with who we are. If you’re a nerd? Then be the best one, join contests, win for the school. If you’re a bookworm? Be the best one. Write for the campus paper, write a blog and show people your abilities.

To be honest, I am a nerd. I was bullied when I was a Freshie and Sophie, I was shunned away because I was articulate in English. But that didn’t stop me. It never did. I strived hard. I worked hard.
me and my partner hosting the Juniors' and Seniors' Prom

Luckily, I won a lot of contests; I became a frequent Emcee of events.

Then I found myself being respected, I found myself appreciated. And guess what? I’m still a nerd. Who knew being a nerd could turn out to be a good thing.  And a bonus? I have girls all over me. =) Charm and intelligence. Looks aren’t all that matters you know. XD

People often bully others simply people for being who they are. Is it a bad thing to be black? Is it a bad thing to be smart? Is it bad to be ME?

People bully others because they are insecure, they are envious, and they see you as threats. They know you are better. They know this. They know that blacks are better than sports, they know that nerds will graduate and get jobs, they know this.

Stand up  for yourself, don’t be afraid to be who you are. People will accept you. People will like you. That I am sure.



FRIENDS


Undoubtedly, if we are not afraid to be who we are, then people will like us for that. And who are those people who accept us as whoa we are?

friends

me with my bestfriends
High school is more than just cramming for assignments, more than just sleeping in class, and definitely more than just getting detention.

High school is doing all of those things not by yourself but with FRIENDS. 

Through good moments and through bad ones too!

Friends make high school life more enjoyable. They make each boring moment more exciting. They make us look forward going to school as we wake up each morning.



ROMANCE

If we have friends, then we have girlfriends, and boyfriends. If we don’t, we have crushes

me holding hands with someone
With a lot of teens and their regain hormones, you cant help but stare at the many handsome and beautiful faces in school. We even paste pictures of them inside our lockers to get a little inspiration for the day ahead each morning. ;-)


Personally, my girlfriend is my inspiration. She is beautiful and smart too. I learn a lot from her. Our relationship is not based on making up in the backseat of a car, nor is it based on escapades on the beaches. Our relationship is based on helping each other get through high school. Sure we get intimate sometimes, we hold hands, but we don’t lose sight of what really is important.
something someone made for me 

Romance can also ruin high school. And it more often than not does.  We have heard so much about teen pregnancies, so many bright and hopeful futures crushed, ending in a teen marriage.

High school romances can break or make your life. That said, we need to be responsible not to get carried away. Use romance as an inspiration, not a path to your own destruction.




ENJOY HIGH SCHOOL, ENJOY LEARNING, JOIN YOUTH ORGs


Teens nowadays are lazy. Me too! =) Academics can be so boring. Admit it, its true. World History, wouldn’t you rather sleep than to know what happened to the Neanderthals? And don’t get me started about trigonometry. Sine blah blah blah of cosine bah bah, arc tangent to angle blah blah.

I know its hard. But rather than cursing you taking trigo, or history. Why not find a reason to enjoy them. Maybe you can find interest in your subject teacher or maybe go for a study date with your classmates for a test. You are not just learning but also you are enjoying, and socializing.

I am a Zero Waste Youth Advocate.
A member of the Mother Earth Foundation
And high school isn’t always about a 7am-3pm job. Organizations are places we can socialize and learn. Enviromental organizations foucs on clean-up drives, green projects, and youth advocacies. Clubs like book blub, debate club and science club all have a special interest. We learn, we grown and we do something wholesome.

School organizations are great places to do something wholesome and worthwhile, They are also places we can meet new people.

Sometimes the school has an annual field trip. Things like these are great times to bond with close classmates and make new memories, memories that will be synonymous with high school.



SUMMMING IT UP


To enjoy high school:
1.       Be yourself- accept yourself and embrace it.
2.       Be the best you can be- no matter who we are, we must be content. Maximize your talents and people will appreciate you for it.
3.       Friends- these bunch of guys will make each boring day of high school a laugh trip. Through good and bad, thick and thin, they will be there.
4.       Romance- they are our inspiration. Use them wisely.
5.       Enjoy learning- join youth orgs to meet new people and do something wholesome.

5 Keys to a Lasting Teen Relationship


love and the honor student (part 3):5 keys to a lasting teen relationship


My friends from highschool.
They have been together for almost a year
Most teen relationships don’t last long. Often starting so sweet and ending so bitter. We ask ourselves, WHAT DID I DO WRONG? We think about it for so long, finding the reason why things didn’t work out.


Has there been a time when you asked yourself, “why doesn’t it last?” 

We drown ourselves in music, seeking refuge. I listen to Taylor Swift, and most of the songs deal with relationships and breakups. Funny thing though that:

“SPONGEBOB WILL GET HIS DRIVER’S LICENSE BEFORE TAYLOR SWIFT FINDS TRUE LOVE”

No, I’m not the author of Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus. No, I’m not some relationship guru. But the following are for me the 5 things I always remember whenever I have a relationship, and for me? It works. Try it out and you’ll see.

    1. Communication

COMMUNICATION IS THE SOUL and ESSENCE of every relationship.

A celebrity couple from my school. They have
been in a relationship
for a whopping 4 years! 
Every relationship is based on frequent and wholesome communication. Think about it. Aren’t relationships advanced and more intimate forms of socializing?



Have you noticed that whenever you are together you two do what? You guys talk.

We talk about a lot of things. Our lives, schoolwork, interests, hobbies, dreams, yep, a lot of things.
http://www.life123.com

We share our deepest problems with our partners. And we lean on them to find support.  Sometimes, we don’t share our problems with our lives but we share the problems in the relationship.

To save a relationship, to work things out only requires you two to talk. Everything can be resolved by peaceful talking.

And let’s admit it; the most common cause of a break-up is MISUNDERSTANDING. Maybe he/she didn’t get what you were trying to say. Maybe she got another interpretation of what you said.


YOU CAN’T SAVE A RELATIONSHIP WASTING TIME BLAMING EACH OTHER.

You have to sit down with him/her and try to find out:

1.What is wrong? What seems to be the problem? What did I do wrong?
2. Why did it happen?
3. How can we resolve it?


That’s it. And if your partner doesn't seem to make the first move, then, MAKE THE FIRST MOVE. Play the active role. Be the one to try to initiate the conversation. Break the ice. And if your partner doesn't want to talk, then be PERSISTENT. After all, you do want to save your relationship? Right? Your partner will surely see the effort and, will in the end, agree to talk.

2. MATURITY


We all want to share our lives with someone. We all want someone to be with. We all want to make memories with someone. But the truth is, relationships aren’t all about kisses in the park, sweet dates in a fancy resto, nor escapades on the beach. Relationships have problems too you know.

Relationships are for MATURE PEOPLE only. We must be able to be mature enough to do a lot of things.

We must be able to get through the ups and downs of a relationship.

Conflicts do happen. You want something but he/she wants something else. In a relationship one has to play the MORE MATURE role.

Sometimes we have to let go of our wants to make room for something else,                                                                                    all for the common good, to make your relationship last.


One good example is the very sensitive topic of SEX. He wants it, but you don’t. Sometimes she doesn't want it. Actually, my girlfriend right now told me she is not ready for very intimate things, even kissing.  Being a Filipino, it is in our customs to be conservative.

If she doesn't want it, then don’t ask for it. Relationships aren't all about sex and making up at the backseat in a car. No, hell no. Relationships are about growing up, maturing, human relations, interacting with someone.

And when there is a mighty row. We must be mature enough to try and actually do something about it. We must have a deeper understanding of why relationships have its problems.  We have to understand that it takes two in a relationship. We won't always get what we want.

We must accept the fact that sometimes due to several factors, he/she won’t be able to make it on a special date, why he/she can’t always have time to text you how you are doing.

Also, we all make mistakes. We get hurt. But we have to stop being bitter. We have to accept the fact that we all learn from relationships and making mistakes is part of it. We have to learn to forgive and move on.

Relationships only come to our lives if and only if we are ready. Relationships and, to a greater extent, love can be the cause of great happiness and also great sadness.

3.  FAITHFULNESS


 We are all allured by temptations. Temptations that can break relationships. We cheat and we flirt. But before you even decide to do that, ask yourself. And this goes with every decision.
http://www.glennsasscer.com/

Ask yourself: how would I feel if he/she did this to me?


Hurts right?

A relationship is an intimate bond shared by TWO, and only TWO people. Third parties more often than not make a relationship crumble. Can we actually stand knowing that there is someone else?


With faithfulness comes one thing. Contentment. People should settle for only one. Think about it. We entered a serious relationship, we didn't ask for a “friends with benefits” relationship. We have to settle for one. Only one.

And don’t go crying to me that the reason you cheated was because you two are in a long-distance relationship, or maybe you two are from other schools, or even  because you don’t get to see each other that often.

Don’t make any reason why you cheated. You two entered a relationship. It was your decision to enter this. Nobody forced you to do it.

In a relationship we must always see to it that we have two things: Trust and loyalty.

Trust him that it will always be you that he will love, and let him be loyal enough to only have you, and ONLY YOU.

Sometimes when I walk by the streets and see someone. Someone stunning. Someone so beautiful. I stop and take a look. But there is this moment where my head reminds me:

“oops, time to look away. why do i have to settle for someone else
when i know i already have the best?


ecotarget.com

Nothing good will come out of cheating. That I can assure you. I've been there and I've done that.

In fact, I once had someone. How she found out I was cheating is still a mystery to me. We were sitting together eating, she suddenly asks me about the “third party.” Me, unaware that she knew everything, simply shrugged and asked her what was she talking about.

She blew up. She shouted and I found myself in a room where everyone was looking at me.

She stood up, looked me in the eyes, pointed her finger to me and said:


You know Adrian,if you treat women like a game, no matter how many times you cheat,
you will never, ever, win”

She left me with this words that left me stunned.

So don’t make the same mistake I made. DON’T CHEAT.  DON’T EVER CHEAT.

4. PARTNERSHIP

“Love is a two-way street”


People often tell me that a relationship where only one is doing all the sacrifices, ultimately fails.

Relationships are bonds made by two people, therefore whenever there is a problem two people should also act on it. No one will do it for you, it will always and always be you two who will resolve each trial, each conflict, and each stipulation you face in your relationship.

Partnership: you two working together,a collaborative effort                                                                          to make the best out of your relationship.

After all, two heads are always better than one. Your relationship will not be a simple walk in the park, no, hell no. Your relationship will have its ups and downs, and you have to make sure that when those times ,when problems are a plenty, that you two will help each other out.

me holding hands with somebody <3
You will not only face problems about your relationship, but also personal ones, problems that are about family, friends, studies. You as a partner, have to be concerned, try to help out in any way you can.

Relationships are, to a slight extent, commitment. They require time, patience and lots and lots of attention.

Relationships also have its share of work, lots of work. And these works can never be done alone. It will always take to people to get through them.

5. VARIETY

One other reason why relationships fail is boredom. Bored that you don’t get to see her, bored that you don’t get to talk to her often, or simply, bored of the same routine, day in day out, week in week out.
We get into a relationship to learn new things, experience new things, and create new memories too. 

No matter how you put it, the moment she gets bored with you, the game is over.

We must, therefore, find a way to make the flames of romance not wither and die but rather spark anew and ever brighter.

How?

Mix it up a little. Try not to stick to a routine. Instead of giving her cards and teddy bears on your monthsarry why not try and give her something “from the heart?” Something, that you yourself have made, something that can never be copied.

And instead of going to the same mall, to the same restaurant, same spot, why not try and go to the park, savor nature, savor moments that are unplanned like the birds going down from above right in front of you, like those bumps and cracks on the road that you accidentally trip on, you won’t be just be laughing but also sharing and making new memories.

http://kinduit.net
And instead of going to the resto, or calling fast-food, why not make the food yourself? Your partner will definitely appreciate the thought, if not the taste of the food. =D

And instead of just sitting on the bench holding hands, why not try something more active? Why not take her to laser tag? Or maybe go cycling together, see new sights and enjoy the ride? Or maybe, go shoot some hoops? Play a little sports?

Make life exciting for the both of you. That way he/she won’t leave you. Why? Because your partner is enjoying every second and every moment with you.

These are just of the many things you can do to spice it up! Experiment, and don’t be afraid to try it. It will pay off.

in the end


As I close my Valentine’s day special blog post. I would like to greet everyone a HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

So for a lasting relationship?

Communicate
Be Mature
Be Faithful
Help each other out, through partnerships
And add a a little variety to spice things up.

Almost There


Almost there


THE JOURNEY

High School, we started off as a bunch of teens simply awed by a new chapter in our life. Met new friends, exposed to a new environment, stayed up late, did a lot of homework, went to prom, went to your first date, loved somebody, hated somebody, broke you heart. This is high school.

High school taught me to be independent. I didn't rely on my parents as that much anymore. I learned to stand on my own two feet. I learned how to budget not only my money due to the many projects that we have but also to budget time.

High School presents a lot of new things to us. This is the time when we make friends, friends that will accompany us through one of the most important parts of our lives. High school is a bore if it is all work and no play. It is not all about gaining you knowledge about the world but also gaining new knowledge about yourself.

High school is a spiritual journey. A journey of self discovery. People change a lot during these times. And friends do play a part in this. We learn to interact, to talk to people to socialize.
my classmates, my family
Challenges don’t come one at time but more often than not all at the same time. We are tested to our limits. Assignments due tomorrow, impossible projects on the same day, a dance presentation the day after that, and so on, so many things to do so little time, welcome to high school.

Time passes by quickly


Sometimes we wish it would just end. That the barrage of things to do would stop. That we should just get our diploma and say good bye to high school. And now, now that we are seniors, now that we are just months away from graduation, we stop. We actually don’t want it to end. How ironic that we used to say “I WANT TO GET OUT OF THIS PLACE NOW!”, now we are actually saying that we don’t want to. We actually want to stay.
my Computer gaming buddies @ JS Prom

We feel the end coming. We all feel the days are numbered, that the moments are just only a few. That we will at the end of the day, say good bye to each other, that we all have to go to different colleges, that there we might never see each other again for a long time.

I’ll sure miss these days, days that I would stay up late doing my projects, days that my friends and I would hang out after school and play computer games. We laughed, we cry. We share moments that we wish would never end.

I’ll miss my teachers who have molded me not as a better student but actually a better person. I’ll miss the morning rush, walking as fast as I can praying that I won’t be late for my first class. I’ll miss the days that we are together through both the good and the bad times.

I can’t possibly imagine how 4 years of high school pass by so quickly. Wow. I can hardly believe that all of these will soon be coming to a close. Now, I lay here on my bed reminiscing, remembering the highlights of my high school life.

Now the road that we are all walking together seems to end, and we all see new paths. New paths that will, sadly, separate us.

Savoring each moment left


I think that the limited time left actually is a good thing. That knowing the fact that we are going to graduate actually encourages us to enjoy each moment that create every day, no matter how small, no matter how irrelevant it may seem.

a very special friend of mine since 1st year high school
We laugh a little harder. We cry a little longer. And we smile a little brighter.

As the end goes ever near, we talk about our plans, our dreams, and our aspirations. Where will you go to college? What would be you job after that? Will I get married?

It is so cool that we won’t be remembering when we all went to a fancy vacation, when we went to a fancy restaurant, and when we all went to the spa. No, we won’t be remembering these things, the things we will be remembering are: the jokes we shared while we are eating lunch, the time that we all got humiliated by our teacher for not being able to solve a math equation, the moments we just sat down and talked, but most importantly the thing we will remember the most, are just merely simple moments. Moments that we would just hang out and chill, listen to the music, and just dance like crazy.

                                                                                             It’s not the end of a book, but rather a beginning of a new chapter
 


Now that I think about it. It’s not really an end. As the saying goes:

“We don’t say goodbye, we say till next time”

with a couple of friends with our teacher 
We are nearing the finish line. We are definitely almost there. High school was one heck of a journey. But I know better things are yet to come, I just know it.

Sure we might hug, share a few tears, shake hands, say our best wishes, but we will never forget each other.

I know that somehow we will all find our way back together.

Now, I am just that more exited for graduation. It’s not that I don’t want to see them again but I know that we must all part ways for a while, maybe meet new friends, make new experiences, and study some more.

I love high school. I love every second of it. I love the people that go with it too. But most importantly, the moments that are not REMEMBERED but rather NEVER FORGOTTEN.

And maybe years from now, we might be doing these things again. Making and sharing new memories.
So yeah, we are almost there but that doesn’t mean we will never meet again.
