It was like yesterday that we celebrate Loyalty Day, have sembreak vacation, celebrate all Saints and all Souls day, Advent season and most of all, Christmas. It was like after we celebrate all of those mentioned, we slept and when we woke up, it's BER Month again. Meaning, We are near to Christmas. Time really goes so fast. We can't stop it.
Now, the season is raining. Many typhoons were coming. It's one of the sign for coming of Christmas which is rain. Also, surroundings start to become colder. Maybe, during this time, some already prepared for their Christmas celebration. They start listing things need to buy for the celebration. Maybe they already have lists of people to whom they will give their special gifts of love.
Thinking about it, now that Christmas is already coming, it excites me. For me, Christmas is really the best celebration a human could have, not because they will receive gifts from their loved ones or it's the time for family bonding or vacation but, it's when JESUS, our SAVIOR, was born. It's the main reason why we celebrate it.
So now, let's do the countdown for the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. And, let me be the first one to great you a MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS to you all. May we all have a fruitful days while this event is coming. God Bless!!!

Loyalty Day Celebration
Here we go again. It's September. Month for Intramurals or Loyalty Day celebration for most of the schools in the Philippines while others are on the other months. In Manila, there is so called UAAP. Battle of prestigious schools(universities) there like ADMU(Ateneo de Manila University), De La Salle University, UP Diliman, Far Eastern University, University of Santo Tomas, etc.! This was every year.
Here in Maasin, schools here celebrates Loyalty Day during this month of September. For SJC, the school held it on the Sept. 7-10. Well, of course, as a Catholic school, it started with a Holy Mass wherein Bishop Precioso D. Cantillas, SDV, DD, the school president, was the celebrant. It happened on the first day, 4pm. Then, on the next day, there was a parade. It was new for all old students since we used to have our parade in the afternoon but this time, it was held in the morning at 9am. There was also another new to students since we used to have 4 teams in College, two teams for High school as well as the Elementary. It was different teams but this year, it was different. There were only two the same teams for College, High School and Elementary. It was to promote Unity so that they can cheer with each other whether they were came from High school, College or Elemetary. The activities are still the same like games, cheerdance competition, there were muses and also Biblio-drama Contest. For MCC, I wasn't able to witness there intramurals since I had classes that time. So, I asked my friends who watched it. The team was change. From Spino and Kentro to Hydrus and Pyrus. There old teams were used for four consecutive years. According to my source, they will change team's names every other four years. Like SJC, there also cheerdance competition, games and Victory ball wherein, they had disco.
I don't know about the two other colleges: STI and College of Maasin. I never heard any news about their Intramurals. In Cebu, most of the schools had their Intramurals for a week or more than a week.
This kind of celebration enhanced the talents and skills of every students. In here, we can discover new talents hidden behind every students. It also improve the sportsmanship between students since in every competition like this, there's always a winner and a loser. It's up to the student on how to accept it but for me, they have to accept it heartily since if they win, it means they did their best. Ahm, I didn't mean that losers didn't did their best, it's just that it was their destiny to lose in the game. For the winners, GOOD JOB. TWO THUMBS UP! For the losers, better luck next time! Never lose hope!
God Bless!

Science and Math Month
Schools in Philippines celebrates Nutrition Month during July. Now, that it is already September, schools celebrates the Science and Math Month. This was every every of the same month. They had separate themes. For Science, it is "Chemergy: Chemistry and Science Clubbing in Synergy" while for Math is "Unraveling Complex Systems".
During my high school year, I was able to witness this kind of event. First school day of September, there will be a program. Selected students will dance and sing and after that, there will be questions for all students and who ever answered it correctly, he/she will got a price. It was all about Science and Math topics. And on Monday every week, after the flag ceremony, there will be questions again and a price to those who can answer. Students were eager to answer for the price. Also, during this month, students in Model section and students who are members of the Science or Math Club will handle a tutorials. There were also Investigatory project given in every section and compete with the other.
It was such one of the interesting events schools in our country ever had. It could help the students to nurture their knowledge about this two subjects. It could help them to go beyond their skills. Others also were given the opportunity to help those students who are in need in this two subjects. It promotes unity. This kind of event could discover the knowned scientists and mathematicians someday. I hope so.
Good Luck Students.
God Bless us all!
Take care!

CHALK HOLIDAY
The ACT or the Alliance of Concerned Teachers declared September 16, Friday, of this year as a Chalk Holiday. It is not a non-working or official holiday. It is when teachers don't use chalks during their class. Its purpose is to protest to the government about its chalk allowance for teachers. This is not only for the increase of chalk allowance but for their salary as well. They demand to increase teachers' wages.
During this holiday, it doesn't mean teachers didn't proceed to their lessons. It's just that they will not use chalks. They were just using their louder voice in teaching lessons. Others just used manila paper and marker since for them, pupils or students still need visual aids for them to understand well. They weren't using the chalks for the reason to emphasize their demands to the government.
With this kind of issue, it touches my heart. This is one of the effect of the corruption happening in our country. If the money was distributed to every department properly, this will never happened maybe. I hope the government will listen to the cries of the teachers. I hope the problem of our country will be solved as soon as possible. I know it couldn't be as soon as possible. But, I just wished it could be as possible as what people think.
God Bless everyone!

Birthday of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Another year, another day of birth of our Blessed Virgin Mother!
For people to show their love to her, their respect to her, they visited and attended masses in Our Lady of the Assumption Shrine and Montecueva. They brought flowers came from their places, some bought to be offered to Mama Mary.
I have a story to be told during the birthday of Mama Mary. She did a miracle. I wasn't able to witness it but I believe it was true since it's about the Blessed Mother. She was able to be the one who handled the bread during the Holy Communion. It happened in Montecueva. As the people describe her, She was really beautiful. They found out this miracle during the snack time of the priest and the nuns. There were only two nuns but during the communion, there were three. Upon hearing this, I had a goose bomb. Lucky to those who ate the bread the lady feed during Communion. How I wish I witnessed it.
Some may believe it while some will not. It's really up to us. What's important is to keep our faith to God and praise the Blessed Mother. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAMA MARY.
God bless us all!

Teacher's Month
"They may forget what you said but they will never forget how you made them feel." - Carol Buchner
It was officially proclaimed by the Malacanang Palace to celebrate the National Teacher's Month every September of the year. It is under the Proclaimation no. 242 of the Palace. It is a month long celebration in honor to all the teachers.
This kind of celebration gives us the opportunity to thank our teachers for imparting their knowledge to us. We should commemorate the sacrifices they have done just to fulfill their mission to feed us the information we need. Being a teacher is an easy profession. They have to be more patient in dealing with everybody especially those students that are hard-headed and lazy to study. Teachers make ways for them to pass. They burned their eyebrows just to make lesson plans for us students. Most of their time was reserved for us instead to their families.
Now, I'm encouraging you all to personally thank your teachers. If you rare shy to do it, just be a good student to lessen their burdens. What we became, where we are now, we owe it to them. Even those successful bachelors, they owe to their teachers. They couldn't have their professions without the help of their teachers. And to all Teacher licensure examinees, good luck! And to all teachers out there, Happy Teacher's Day! You all are our heros! God bless!
