My Future Magazine..

* One day if I have my own magazine, my first issue would be about these guys!

Thank you Frank!

I never really thought we would be this close, but maybe destiny wanted us to be together. This year, we finally became classmates, and I can truly say I have gotten to know her better and I’m proud to be her best friend. Thank you, Frank Lavilla.
She is someone on whom you could always count on. She is always there when you need a helping hand. She never fails to brighten up my day. We have so many things in common. First of all, we both love Ian Somerhalder (AHHHH!!), we love watching movies, sharing stories about what happened to us the other day, etc. Most importantly, we are always there for each other, no matter what. Did I mention she is now currently addicted to Grey's Anatomy (just like me)?:) We always seem to be bumping into each other and we're always going around together, whether it's going to the canteen, Biscocho or around Iloilo to do our project. I love hanging out with her because it makes me appreciate her even more. Everyday, we discover new things about each other and become even closer. God has a purpose for everything and His purpose was to let the two of us make an impact in each other's lives.

Frank, thank you for giving me the privilege to be your friend and just remember that I'm always here for you.

Pinoy ako!

The Philippines has a truly rich culture. From our songs down to our food, we are a nation of immense diversity. We had our own traditions long before the Spaniards came along, and when they did, they influenced us even more. The American and Japanese occupations also contributed to our already growing pot. Nowadays, many other cultures continue to do so.


To feed our curiosity, we are introduced to the various aspects of our culture through different mediums. There is film, art, music, theater, et cetera. We had the chance to be able to delve into our history by way of a show imparted to us just recently. Tali-galaw presented the background of the Philippines in a rich story in a unique manner, puppetry, which is rarely utilized nowadays. It was both entertaining and educational. They showed us events such as the war with the Spaniards, Americans and Japanese, and the different “fiestas” celebrated.

They also portrayed part of the arts, like the Ifugao dance and many more. We were reminded as well that we had people who gave up their lives for this country, who should continue to be honored and respected. They are an inspiration to us and we could do well to learn lessons in patriotism from them.


Our culture is one which we could be proud of and we should continue to sustain it. There are some forms that have done so and allow us to explore our cultural inheritance more. However, we have been so swayed by other cultures that we have seem to forgotten our own. Zarzuelas, kundimans, dances like the Pandango sa Ilaw, and other wonderful parts of our traditions have been slowly dwindling, if not completely obliterated. Thinking about this made me sad and led me to thinking what we could do to uphold this integral aspect of our country. One way is to support presentations like that of Tali-galaw and other groups like them. Another and also important way is to maintain traditions and values. Hospitality, respect for elders, and the fear of the Lord have been instilled in us and we should never lose these traits. They are vital to our identity and integrity as a people.

We should never lose sight of the character that our culture grants us, for it is what makes us truly Filipino.

" Decision time"

Smog & ashes all around
Every place you look, this is what you see
Whirring, blaring machine sounds
Running down any bush or tree

Not much life can you hold in water
For garbage fills its depths
This is just like any other
What else can be kept?

She then emerges from her shelter
The scene that surrounds her and
She chokes & coughs
Her eyes fill with tears & it is not from the smoke

Mother Earth is devastated by what we have done
Her heart is broken, her spirit weakened
We have ruined her & her works
But can we still mend our ways?
YOU DECIDE...
