Nothing can be more sincere than the eyes. The eyes speak of what the
heart beats for and what the heart would like to express in words. The
eyes are the windows of our soul, as some people say.
Collin in the poem “The Look” has express all the feelings he feels for
the girl through the eyes and that was what made him stand out among
the three of them.
For me, the two other guys was not too sincere in their feelings for
the author. They didn't last.
If a man desires for a woman, then it is not love. That could be lust.
Love does not want to own.People are often slaved by their bodily
passion and tempting facade, by what their eyes perceived. According to
Ecclesiates, Charm is deceptive and beaauty disappearing...
You see, sometimes people are deceived by their hidden desires and
often mistaken them as love. Love is eternal, it knows no end. If what
you feel is love, it would be for a life time.
Collin was really sincere in His feelings for the author. He had
self-control. His love for the author was not selfish. He took control
of his body desires. He was able to conquer himself.
Love according to 1 Corinthian 13:4-7:Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it
is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily
angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil
but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always
hopes, always perseveres.
You see,Collin love the author so he was patient since He only looked
at the author. He looked with the eyes of love. He was not
self-seeking. He didn't seek for his satisfaction.
Based on my interpretation, Collin and the author are friends. The
author understood the language of the love of Collin because love is a
feeling that only can feeling can understand.
The Look could be associatedwith the song the way you look at me sung by
Christian Bautista.
Imagine the author singing this lines(Refering to Collin, of course):
I don't know how or why I feel different in your eyes
All I know is it happens every time
'Cause there's somethin' in the way you look at me
It's as if my heart knows you're the missing pieceY
ou make me believe that there's nothing in this world I can't be
I never know what you see
But there's somethin' in the way you look at me
Measuring love through the number of kisses and hugs is a very wrong
way of measurement. Although, it can't be measured, I can say that a
kiss may not mean love. Jesus was betrayed with a kiss!
I'm not really good in these kind of topics. So please, bear with me!
Dear kissers, I don't mean to hurt you. What I mean is that kisses are
is not a measurement for love.Peace be with you!

The KYSD Experience
Know Your School Day or KYSD is a school endeavor which gives the students the chance to experience how it is to teach or to hold an office.
Students got the chance to be a usual subject teacher, the guidance councilor, the principal, the Professional Education Division or PED chair, the clerk and the Scholarship Committee chair.
It would sound fun but it had only one effect most especially for someone like me who did not have anything to do because I did not apply for any position.
The KYSD is nothing else but boring for me. Boring in the sense that I had to be in my seat while everyone else had something else to do.
It was a slothful day because it was another normal day for me. School was the same school that I attended for the last four years and the lessons taught was the lesson which I needed to imbibe that day. It could have been fun if there were some things to spice up that rather boring day.
It was KYSD or Know Your School Day and it should have been something special. There should have been tributes for teachers in a comical way that could have been something entertaining and something memorable for everyone.
There should have been forums where the students could suggest different things which could contribute to the betterment of the administration and as well as the school. That would be exciting because people get to be frank and open. Frank in the sense that they would tell how they see things and share their thoughts about the school. Open to accept things which might be sometimes hurtful but surely in a constructive kind of way.
Giving that special kind of treatment to an endeavor like the Know Your School Day or KYSD, could have made the experience fun for everyone and not just fun for those who had applied for a position.
Any school endeavor should involve everyone in it. The school co- curricular and extra- curricular activities is one way of having that chance to bond for all the members of the school. The Know Your School Day or KYSD activity was not successful because of it has not served much its purpose.
Yes it could have instilled in us the importance of the people who are around the school. From the highest position to the regular staff. The principal, PED or Professional Education Division chair, the Scholarship Committee chair, the teachers, the clerk, the attendants and assistants should all be given importance because without them, there is no UP.
There is nothing wrong with highlighting that point but there should have been a fun factor so that things are enjoyable for everyone. If that factor is present, there is also a possibility that the students will all be involved and they would find ways so that they would be a part of everything that is about the activity.
In that way, the activity could serve two purposes, highlighting its point and involving everyone.

Love: An Act of Will, not of heart
Love: An Act of Will, not of heart
What can you find in the heart?
The heart is just a pumping organ that supplies blood to the body.
You can't find anything there but blood, cells and blood vessels.
According to scientists, our emotions are developed not in the heart
but in a system in the body called the Lymbic system.
What is your definition of love?
Love can't be defined, only can be described.
Love according to 1 Corinthian 13:4-7:Love is patient, love is kind. It
does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it
is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of
wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It
always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Now, I'll give you an example of an unconditional love...
God is omnicient and omnipotent. He knows what will happen in the
future. Why did he made you even if he knows that you will only sin and
hurt God, nailing Him again? It is because of love. Even though He
knows that His Son will go through pain and suffering and mind you, His
faced was totally deformed according to Isaiah, He still sent His only
Son for us to be saved.
The King of all kings and the Lord of all Lords died for you.He is above all. Above all powers, above all kings and all created
things. Yet, He took wore the nature of a servant.
It is the will of the Lord that He humbly took the risk of being human.
He felt hunger and pain.
Every stripe upon His battered back,
Every thorn that pierced His brow,
Every nail drove deep through His guiltless hands,
is for you.
All the way to the cross, He keeps on thinking of you and me, even in the midst of danger and
nearly death.
It is because of love that the Father gave and it’s such an amazing
demonstration of love that a King would die for you and for me.
But God demonstrated His own love for us in this: While we were still
sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8, John 3:16).
Is God crazy? Seems foolish right? But God's foolishness is wiser than
human wisdom.He made a fool of Himself in order for us to to have
eternal life.
You see? God acted it out. With all wisdom, he demonstrated His love
for you and me.It is the will of the Lord that Jesus would suffer for
us. Jesus even said : "Thy will be done".
What's more? Did you know when did God love you?
God created your inmost being and knit him together in your mother's womb. Through the years, God watched you grow grow, play,laugh, cry, live and love. Your name He had written on the palm of His hand; Your tears He had kept in His heart. He even know every hair on your head. Whatever you have done with your life cannot change the way God value you, and there's nothing you can do that can make Him love you less.He sees your sins would look on you with love and call you to be His own.
Yes. From the beginning until forever. His love is eternal.
There is no greater love than this: That a man would give his life for
a friend.There is no higher sacrifice than a man would give his life.

Loneliness
In the poem Loneliness, only letters were found in the poem. I don't
really have much words to say all about that poem. I didn't meditate
well upon the poem since it is near deadline.
Each line of the poem contained only one or two letters.The author was
quite imaginative and symbolic.The poem was simple but complicated. But
whatever is the hidden meaning of this poem, I'll make mine.
Look at the earth. The earth is full of people. The earth is made
definitely made for the people.Look at the birds.Most of them migrate
by flocks. The bees fly by swarm. If you are afraid of a single bee,
how much more for a swarm of bees?
Cleaning could be the most difficult job for some. But anyway, Imagine
a broomstick with only one stick. Can you achieve your purpose of
cleaning?
Maybe, in our lives,in our daily walk on the road full of roses and
sometimes thorns, we sometimes have a companion, sometimes not. The
letters in the poem symbolizes human nature. Sometimes we are with
others, sometimes alone in this journey called life. People needs
people.Life is like a wheel. Sometimes we're up and sometimes down.
In the book of Genesis, we can read that no creature has been a
suitable partner to man.The whole paradise was made just for one man.
All the glamourous flowers and magnificient trees,and all the amazing
species of animals. But why is still he not joyous in his living? He
definitely needs a partner.So God made woman.The man was glad and his
life became more meaningful.
The story of creation coincides with the
saying: no man is an island. This famous and probably one of the most
overused saying is very true in our lives.
What is your favorite thing? What is your favorite food? Imagine
yourself in a grandiose room where all your favorite things are.
Picture out the room, a very enormous one. Imagine yourself holding the
most recent unit of Samsung cellular.
Quite cool. Right?
But,will you
be happy if you will be locked up in that immense room forever? Of
course not!
No matter how expensive your cellphone is, If no one would text you, It
would be better if you set aside that stuff. Why? it is because
communication is the main purpose of cellphones.
You see, everybody needs company. People needs a relationship. Why
relationship? Because even if you are surrounded by a thousand men but
they will just pass near you, as if they didn't see anyone, You will be
an island.Human nature tells us that people is in need of attention,
care and love.We live for each other. We help one another. We love one
another.We are not to be bound up by material things and wealth rather
by treasures that are found in the heart.
Just as a poem ends, my article ends. This earthly life is temporary.
Everyday, our mortal body is dying little by little.
What is your
greatest fear in life?
Is it being lonely?
Is it death?
The greatest fear in life is not death; But living without a purpose.

How want to be remembered after leaving High school
Have you heard of a Johari window?It is not a made of glass actually...The Johari window is a square divided into four
different parts. The four parts are: free, blind,
dark and hidden. All of the four parts are composed
of characteristics,and traits of a specific person
The free part is composed of the traits and
characteristics the person has which is known by
himself and by others. The blind part is composed of
characteristics and traits in the eyes of others
only. The hidden part is composed of traits and
characteristics the person has but others do not.
The last part which is the dark part is the side
which contains secrets about yourself but both the
person and others don't know. In my Johari window,
the biggest part is the hidden part. I am a
secretive person. Even my closest friends don't know
my darkest secrets. I'm also not fond of spilling
the beans.I know a lot of secrets about other
people. Hmm... A little bit unfair to others since I
know their secrets by they don't know mine.
Now, why I am a lecturing a Johari window? Because
the Johari window is very helpful in making this
article and for word maximum purposes...(laughs).
When I interviewed a couple of people about what can
they remember when they see me, I was shocked by
what I've learned. The people remembered me as a
bread eater! It is because, we have a bakeshop at
home and schoolmates who went to our house never go
home without tasting our bread and pastries! It is
already a tradition in the family that if a visitor
visits the house, they will be given enough supply
of food in their stomaches!
During the third year, I sell Siopao in the canteen.
The batch really love our Siopao. Now, that was
before when our baker was not yet been changed.
Okay, okay. I admit. I am fond of eating bread,
cakes and pastries. My faavorite is the custard
cake. It is a like chiffon cake topped with leche
flan. Whew! delicious...
Okay, let's get out of the Bakeshop. In my
testimonials, the people decribe as: artistic,
creative,simple, unpretentious, understanding, music
lover,mysterious, and happy go lucky.
That's definitely true. I just love being simple and
natural. I fiercely protest against masks. I don't
wear them. Having a lot of hidden things does not
necessarily make you masked. I like pressures since
I work best under them but I like to be relaxed and
calm under pressure. Relax here means doing the job
in a calm manner.
Mysterious? Yeah right, I am.It's just, I took
control of my words. Man has tamed all the wild
animals but no one has ever tamed the tongue. It is
better to conquer yourself than to conquer whole
cities.
I don't actually care much about what people say. I
just want to be remembered as a simple gal who loves
music. I am really mysterious.

All For Love
Do you feel being unloved? Are you feeling rejected, unworthy, worthless, unwanted, useless or unimportant?
What is your definition of love?
There are a lot of people today who are despised and abused. A lot of people today don’t know their value.
Maybe you feel like you’re not needed, unimportant, cheap and useless. Sad to say you don’t know your value!
What’s the sweetest thing a person had done for you? Whatever it is let me tell you a story. During the reign of Adolf Hitler, concentration camps were being made and the captured Jews in Germany were abused. A German doctor even made soaps and buttons from humans (the Jews of course)! This dark age was called the “Holocaust”. During this dark time, a lot of Jews were being killed. The old people were together being killed since they are considered as useless. In the heart of the city was a very magnificient and eye-catching mansion. In the mansion live an elite man and his only very dear seven year old son. He love his son so much that he granted every desire of the child’s heart.
The rich man together with his son was walking at the sidewalk, enjoying the warmth of the sun. The rich man was a Jew, but he was able to hide his real identity because of his great wealth. In the midst of silence, a breaking incident broke the monotony of the tranquility. A poor fellow Jew was caught stealing a loaf of bread by a lenient German officer. Knowing that the poor guy was a Jew plus he was caught stealing, the German officer fiercely grab the poor guy and was treated harshly. Knowing the common attribute of a German officer, he poor guy knew that he is getting near to his end. The poor guy collapsed not just of physical hunger and pain but because of the greatest fear in his life has come to reality- To die by being made into soaps and buttons.
The rich man freeze for a moment and both fear and mercy was struggling in his heart. The innocent son hid in his daddy’s back crying. Even with his unconsciousness, his feet lead him to the scenario and plead the German officer to let go of the poor guy. The German officer declined but he rich man fall on his knees pleading for mercy. The German officer agreed, but in one tragic condition. In exchange for the poor guy’s life is the life of his very own child.
If you were the rich man, would you give the life of your very own son for the life of the poor guy? Difficult, isn’t it? But if you love your son very much, you will never give your son since you value the life of your son more than your own life.
Think about this lines(from the song All For Love by Hillsong):
All for love a Father gave, for only a love could make a way.
All for love the heavens cried, for love was crucified.
It is because of love that the Father gave and it’s such an amazing demonstration of love that a King would die for you and for me. But God demonstrated His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8, John 3:16).
There is no greater love than this: That a man would give his life for a friend.
There is no higher sacrifice than a would give his life.
God loves you. Do you love Him too?
What is your definition of love?

God loves you. Do you love Him too?
The Bible Can Be Trusted
The Bible can be trusted!
Do you have a Bible? Some people say that the Bible is unreliable, a mere fiction and their views have gained worldwide acceptance. Thus, many people today don’t consider the significance of the Bible.
On the other hand, the Jesus encourages us to trust the word of God as in John 17:17. The Bible considers itself to be inspired by God. All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching the truth, rebuking error, correcting faults, and giving instruction for right living (Timothy 3:16). “All Scripture“includes everything, both the new and old testament.
What is your side on this issue? Is there sound basis for trusting basis for trusting the Bible? Or is there really evidence that the Bible can’t be trusted because it contradicts itself and because of its inconsistency?
Some people claim that the Bible contradicts itself. Has anyone ever shown you an example? I have never seen or read that could not be explained. There may appear contradicting accounts in the Bible but the reason usually of such turmoil is the lack of knowledge regarding the details and circumstances in the Bible. For example, some people focus their attention to a shallow discrepancy in the Bible, asking where did Cain got his wife. Now who told you that Cain and Abel where the only children of Adam and Eve? It is such a false assumption. Adam became a father to sons and daughters, as stated in the book of Genesis (5:4). Hence, Cain married one of his sisters or probably a niece. Isn’t that a shallow discrepancy? It is then encourage to read the whole Bible before asking critical questions that are in fact only because lack of reading or comprehension. Now, don’t be exhausted, rather be encouraged to read the Bible and search for the truth.
The historical accuracy of the Bible was once questioned and was widely doubted. Critics for example questioned the existence of some Bible characters such as King Sargon of Assyria, Belshazzar of Babylon, and the Roman governor Pontius Pilate. But as time goes by, more and more discoveries verified the one Bible account after another. Historian Moshe Pearlman wrote: ”Suddenly, skeptics who had doubted the authenticity even of the historical parts of the Old Testament began to revise their views.
Once, the Earth was generally believed to be flat. The assumption was widely accepted by the people for a long time until Ferdinand Magellan tour circumnavigate the globe and proved that the earth was round in shape. But did you know that the Bible was correct all along! “There is one dwelling above the circle of the earth”, found in Isaiah 40:22.
A lot more scientific facts supported the Bible. (Read the article entitled: “Science And The Bible”)
What’s more, phrophesies in the Bible dramatically happens one by one. The Bible foretold that Babylon would eventually become inhabited ruins. And that is just what happened. Today, Babylon is a desolate heap of mound(Isaiah 13:20-22, Jeremiah 51:37, 41-43).
The authors of the Bible came from different places, and time but all of the books agree and are united. The time gap even reached as far as thousand of years!
God’s word can be trusted! Paul said in Corinthians(3:3):”It is clear that Christ Himself wrote this letter and sent it by us. It is written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, and not on stone tablets but on human hearts”.
Do you have a Bible? Some people say that the Bible is unreliable, a mere fiction and their views have gained worldwide acceptance. Thus, many people today don’t consider the significance of the Bible.
On the other hand, the Jesus encourages us to trust the word of God as in John 17:17. The Bible considers itself to be inspired by God. All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching the truth, rebuking error, correcting faults, and giving instruction for right living (Timothy 3:16). “All Scripture“includes everything, both the new and old testament.
What is your side on this issue? Is there sound basis for trusting basis for trusting the Bible? Or is there really evidence that the Bible can’t be trusted because it contradicts itself and because of its inconsistency?
