During and after the recollection, I have learned many things. These things helped me to realize what's good and what's not. Upon realizing all of those helped me to change what needs to be changed and maintain what is to be maintained.
Upon undergoing those activities, watched the videos and heard the shares of the other students, I realized many things. I realized that I should be contented for what I have. I have to be contented since there lots of people who envied me and wanted what I have. I learned that even though life may bitter to me or to my family,I should not blame God or anyone for these are trial which I need to pass. It could help me to be strong and better person. It could help me to be good and know how to handle things out. I learned that life only gets better if we start accepting things we cannot change and we cannot have. All we have to do is try our very best and pray since nothing is impossible to God. We could still reach our goals despite our imperfections as long as we know how to handle this and let not control us. We should be thankful to God for what we have, for our families, friends and everything we have. We can never have him without His will.
Thank you so much, dear Lord. I love you.

RECOLLECTION
Recollection! When you heard about recollection, what comes in your mind? Me, it's about recollecting. Recollecting means collecting again. What is going to be recollect? Hmp! This must be our topic. We will talk about recollection.
Okay! Recollection is one of the program my school, Saint Joseph College is promoting ever since. With this, everyone, as lone as you are enrolled in our school is required to go though this. It's all about getting closer to God as what our school is implementing. In here, students were able to collect again the things they have done and able to realize whether it is right or wrong. Students were let to weigh things up. They are molded into good ones by helping them realize everything. They were helped to be closed to God.
During recollections, there are lots of activity to do. Of course, prayer will always be present. Students were able to talk to God heartily.Talk to him what they feel and asked what they are begging from forgiveness to personal intentions. Another thing is, facilitators showed movies to the students which helped them explain the real essence of that recollection which is to collect the things we've committed, realize it and be able to feel renewed. Another activity is that students were given papers and were let to write their prayers and those whom they hated. With those list of people they hated, they have to pray for them. Students were also able to undergo the sacrament of confession. And afterwards, a Holy Mass is held as a closing remark of that activity.
I must say, what a nice activity SJC has. Students were not only get enjoyed but also, they became closer to God. They were able to realize and weigh things out.
GOD bless us all!!!

JPIA Sophomores' Convocation
November 9, Friday, the moment of truth, the day that we are waiting for. As time running, we are excited yet nervous. We are excited to perform and at the same time, we are nervous for what would be the outcome. Whew!
JPIANs were gathered already late in the afternoon for the honoring ceremony of the new batch of CPA board passers. After the ceremony, convocation followed with the theme, "NEVER GIVE UP". Time for the sophomores to show what we've got. It started with a production number by all sophomores wearing our convo t-shirt. In the middle of their dance, the second year officers presented their selves to the audience. I wasn't included during that presentation. And where was I? I was at the backstage waiting for our turn. after the first presentation, modeling came next. And i was one of them. :p. we ramped wearing dresses of our styles and likes. It was my second time to participate in a modeling. The first time was when I was a PN students. Honestly,modeling is what I'm fond of. I love watching fashion shows and i like how models walk with art as they wear clothes or whatever they are presenting. Acoustic singing followed after the modeling. And i must say, sophomores are not only models but also singers. Next is all boys and all girls dance performance. those boys and girls who have both left feet or not fond of dancing or shy to perform in front of many people did nothing but participate in the dancing portion. They dance the best as they could. Hehehe. They did nothing but to follow what our adviser is ordering. Then, it's our turn again, our K-Pop dance. Actually, we got our actions from the music video of the music since we found difficulties in its moves, we changed it into simple ones. I'm so excited to perform since I love dancing. It's my passion. since I was a kid. Then, a sort of Miss Gay for fun. The chosen boys are good at entertaining the audience because I heard them laugh and laugh with their punch lines. Lastly, a chorus number participated buy ALL sophomore students. We sang a song entitled "NEVER GIVE UP" as what our theme is saying.
After we sang, our mayor/leader called our DEAN to come up on stage with us to give her closing speech. In behalf of the other teachers, she commented regarding our performance. And YES, we did a good job as what she was saying in her comment. She was entertained well by us. She said that we are not only good learners but also good performers and entertainers. Hahaha! Yahoo!
Hearing the words of our Dean, I realized that less time doesn't matter as long as everybody cooperates and participated. This wouldn't be successful without the help of everybody. Yehey, we made it. TWO THUMBS UP SOPHOMORES. Just NEVER GIVE UP.
Looking for freshmen's convocation this month. Good luck guys!
Take care everyone. Have a great day! Always put God at the center of your day! :)

JPIA Sophomores' Convocation
Being one of the accountancy students, I can say that we are not only into books or studies. We're also into activities and enjoyment. As what I'm always telling you, our department has lots of activities in every school year. We have activities almost every month. This is not only to spare us from brain-storming topics in our class but also to know and get closer to other future CPAs.
As of month of November this year, our department held one of its activities, the sophomores' convocation. Every year level has their convocation. Fourth year(Senior) and third year(Junior) students were done with their convocation last semester. Now, it's for sophomores to shine. Hehehe!
Because of the semestral break, we only got one week to prepare for the said activity that is hosted by us, the second year accountancy students. We couldn't make it to practice during vacation since most of us came from far places and we didn't want to cut their moments they had during that time. So, we agreed to be strictly focused during the practice for a week. Doubts in our minds, still, we hope that we could make it. We could only practice during nights since we still have our classes during days. And, activities like this is one way of practicing our discipline in managing our time between our studies and practices. With this, we struggled through sleepless nights. We always went home late, almost midnight. As we arrived home, we couldn't go to sleep immediately since we still have lessons to study. WHOA! So tiring. Thinking that it could only for a week motivates me to go on.
As we were having our practice every night, little quarrels and misunderstandings are inevitable. Yet, we got peace after a while. We still go on with the preparation. Every sophomores cooperated and required to participate in at least one presentation. We used all the time we had. We never wasted it. We all used it for the practices.
Four nights of practice? Is it enough? Did we make it? Did we impress our teachers and other students? Let's see my next entry...
TC!

Spending Semestral Break
Undeniably, I, myself, was looking forward to spend semestral break. I felt what the other students was feeling, the excitement. Unlike them, I didn't have any plans on how I'm gonna spend it or where I'm gonna take a vacation. It's because I know already the answer.
As usual, as what I am used to, I spent my vacation just at home or in my place. I'm not used to taking vacation out of town since, first of all, we can't afford. Hehehe! For me, I can still enjoy my vacation without going anywhere. Bonding with my family, sleeping, and bonding with my friends and cousins are what my mind was thinking before the vacation came. And yeah, It was all happened. These are what I'm used to. No failure. These are all what I did every time I spent my vacation and i love it. I find no fun without them.
I may have nothing extraordinary things to share to my classmates as I went back to school like expensive vacation but what I'm gonna share is more precious than what they have. Anyway, this is just an opinion of mine. For me, nothing is more important than getting much closer to my loved ones. I don't have to go out of town to enjoy myself since what makes me happy are just in my place. No need to go away. Simple place with them is enough for me. We can still be happy and can gather more experiences others can't have. :p Semestral break is the time for me to compensate my absence whenever I'm in school. It may be not enough, but I'm looking forward to more coming vacations to be spent with the people I love.
Take care!!! GBU! :-)

SEMBREAK Vacation
Every students like final exams. Know why? It's because final exams means vacation after. :p Everybody, I think, loves vacation. It's the time that could spare us from stress, worries and problems. It's the time for relaxing and rejuvenating.
For this school year, half of it was already done. For college students, first semester was over. And they must say, they made it to its half. They made through the challenges and trials in school. With this, they're given time to relax and be free from stress.
Week or weeks before semestral break, it's always the topic of the students. It's always part of their conversations. They were talking on how they gonna spend it, where gonna take their vacation and what their plans are for the said vacation. We could see in their eyes the excitement. How they wished days would jump into that day to not prolong the agony of waiting. As time passed by, SEMESTRAL BREAK came, Students were saying "YEHEY". And that included ME. Hehe!
How did I spend and where did I take my vacation? Did I have plans before it came like the other students? Wanna know the answers to these questions? Check out my next entry...
God Bless, everyone!!!
