Nene Tamayo's a girl. Keanna Reeves is a girl. Kim Chiu is a girl. Did girls really rule in Pinoy Big Brother ? Would it be a possibility that the champion of the Pinoy Dream Academy would be a girl? It's now a fact that boys are totally pasaway. Blame Franzen Fajardo and Jason Gainza on Season 1. Franzern got evicted by force. But for Jason, bumait kaya kabilang siya sa Big Four. (He became good that's why he's on the Big Four) On the Celebrity Edition, I don't know but Zanjoe Marudo usually sleeps on the duyan (hammock). Is that a violation or not? Oh, never mind! In the Teen Edition, Big Bro had to have the sick headache because of the jampacked violation the boys usually do. Why did Gerald Anderson, with the "most number oif violations committed", have not been evicted by force or in any matter? I think that he had sincerely accepted the fact the the violations and punishments are meant to be constructive. Bam Romana, the forced evictee? Huh! Blame hi...

Hi! This is a summary of what I experienced on August 17, 2006 (the date of posting this message), The Davao Historical Quiz Bee. I experienced the most number of praises because of this. It is because I won as the champion of this prestigious contest. During the contest, I answered many tricky questions, but I answered most of them correctly. Nothing had gone wrong during the contest except the slow tallying of scores. The questions were about Davao City and its provinces, but during the Difficult round of this contest, the topics jumped to current issues. Many coaches of the contestants complained about that. Anyways, there were many schools that joined this contest, 49 all in all. This contributed to the shortage of materials and slowing of the score tallying. During the announcement of the winners, there were 2 people who tied the 3rd place, one from Lawana National High School, and one from Daniel R. Aguinaldo National High School. The prize was split into two. They only recieved ...

Happy Feast Day to all studes of Colegio de San Ignacio, Davao City and to other school with Saint Ignatius as their patron saint. May you be blessed by his teachings and may through God's eternal grace, may be joyful and be blissful. God bless you! :-)

This is another poem made by myself from the original Stellar . It is about what discipline really means. Here goes: Discipline is an art, We should take part, to creatively follow, right from the start. Discipline is an objective, it should not be taken for granted, we should be attentive, we should not be neglectful. Discipline is a mission, we should complete it, we should follow according to its rules and standards. Discipline is a challenge. We should accept it. We should understand How to follow it. Discipline is a journey to achieve success It is a journey to believe, To know and to respect yourself.

This is a creation from my original scrapbook, Stellar: Life's Great Journey. Here is a double poem about strength and perseverance, magnificence, truth and beauty. Here goes: I We dreamt of glorious ambitions, We journeyed to defend loyalty, Great journeys indeed. God want us to be loyal to Him, To build good virtues, That makes us, His creation, A great advantage. God, the Ruler of Heaven, Calls us to make peace. So we should say, "We stand upright, And we should not fall." We should build our lives wonderfully, For integrity of all nations. For God made us Wonderfully and fearfully. II Our lives should be beautiful, magnificent, And graceful. Though truth hurts, It makes us wonderful. For it is an elegant treasure for us to give. When we say the truth, Our lives will be well and fine looking, For we call ourselves enduring heroes, That makes us the magnificent of all. We should be friendly and generous, So we shine like jades and pearls, We bloom like brillian...
