A Time for giving out of gifts!

Oh its CHRISTMAS DAY!!!!!

                      Let me start on the week before Jesus was born, it was called as Simbang Gabi or Misa de Gallo. This Simbang Gabi is a tradition for most Filipinos especially Christians. It is composed of a nine dawn masses every 3 or 4 AM until 6 or 7 AM. It usually begins at the 16^th of December and ends on the night of December 24, which is the Midnight Mass.

                      I admit that I was too lazy to go to mass and so I only had a 3 day of attending it but for my parents, they could no resist going and so they completed it. We usually prepare plastic chair for us to use during the mass because the chapel is too overcrowded. Some people said that if they completed the nine dawn masses there wish would be granted. After the mass we would go straight to the city and buy Bibingka or Puto Bungbong.

                       After all the happenings and preparations, it was our Noche Buena (meaning: Good Night) and we started eating. I could not eat properly because I had a toothache because of my braces. It was too painful for me to eat but still I could not reject the foods on the table. I was fighting with the pain and so I ate a lot. Then it was the opening of gifts. I transferred all the gifts then I started giving it out. At first I was too excited for my Mom, Dad and Grandma to open their gifts given by me then we started getting the video. At last we all finished and I was too overjoyed, I can’t believe that I had a new Nike Shoes and a set of Stuff toys…..WOW!!!! I thank d all of then and we started to kiss one another. Ahhh, eating is not yet over, we finished talking at 2 pm then we started fixing things then we went to our room and sleep.

Hours later……

                         I waked up at 7 AM then I started getting food on the table, I ate and ate until I finished what’s left. hahahahahahaha. They were all laughing at me because I had no Self Control. They were joking that my uniform would not fit next year then I would stare at them and smile. After all the restroom is just near and I could go there anytime of the day.

                        I can connect this happening to the beatitudes especially those who are in pain because of sorrow and need some comfort and love by people around them. Those people who are alone and are in need should be taken care by those people who have the right to do so.

                        I can help those people by giving shelter for them. I can also help them by giving what is left for me to share and by praying. I can encourage them to go to mass so that they’ll realize their wrong doings and that they can change into better persons. These things will make a big change throughout their life and so I need to make it into actions. :))

OUR MOMS :*

( My Mom is located at the lower center of the picture)

We are so grateful to have mothers like them. For Jessele's mom is Tita Jessica and Celine's is Tita Maying. My mom's name is Estrella.They are the one who encourage us every time we have a problem or at times that we have an event to celebrate or to attend to.

When I was still small , my mother used to teach me how to pray, how to cook, how to clean the house and how to treat elders with respect and love.They are our first teachers and the are the one who gives light on our life.

Mothers cannot be replaced because they gave all there life for their child to be healthy, and that they sacrifice everything for us.They would sometimes kiss and hug us and we'll do the same for them.I can say that I am more close to my mother that with father.

There are times when they would usually scold us but it doesn't mean they love us, they're only doing it for us to change  and for us to realize our mistakes.Even if we have so many many mistakes , they would still forgive us.

I am inspired by my mother always.They're works are too impossible for us to replace it with things and values.Words cannot be explained of how much I cared and thanked for my Mom. I LOVE YOU MOM!

                             Thank you God, for giving me a wonderful MOTHER...:)))

The End

 

There are some pictures that were taken last December 2, 2010.This was the the day of our Cae Play for Shakuntala. We felt terribly nervous while were practicing for our lines.Some were getting ready while others just sit and see what there classmates are doing or arguing about.It was so memorable because many of us have not prepared however the play beacme sucessful.

There were many positive comments and that many said it was too beautiful.They were really entertained in the part where Careless Whisper was tuned in for a love scene ,many were screaming but most of the audience and the judges were giggling.Some said it was too awkward but most of it gave an impact to the viewers.

 I am so fulfilled that we won the Best Play for Cae and Caf..It was so memorable that we had the GRAND SLAM FEVER! :))

PERFECT MATCH :))

A Korean Drama....

      
This drama tells us about a woman and a man living together, with the woman think that the man is a gay.
Park Kae In (played by Son Ye Jin) is a woman who can’t easily open his heart to a man because he was been hurt by love. Therefore, she is only looking for a gay roommate. Then, Jun Jin Ho (Lee Min Ho), a young man with perfect look who likes her so much, comes to her and pretends to be a gay in order to become her roommate.

 I will miss watching this TV series and that I hope it will have part 2  ....:))))))
BYE-BYE:))

Amnesia Girls:))

The Amnesia Girls........ 

 
                          This picture was taken last December 3 inside Picture Perfect's studio.We were getting ready for every pose while Princess keep on sneezing and Jesselle, laughing at their face and reactions. After our photo shoot or pictorial we went to Sm Cinema 4 for us to watch the movie Amnesia Girl whose major characters are John Lloyd and Toni Gonzaga.

                        We admit that the movie was too romantic because of their pick-up lines.It was too funny that we memorize some of it and now we are reciting it in school.We said that if there's going to be another movie for us to watch, we would spend it with the same people.

                       I just can't stop laughing when I remember Princess's eyes with the pictures that we had. Her face was too funny while Jesselle's action was too hilarious..HAHAHAHA  :DD

Auditions....

WOW, here comes the most exciting part of the preparations for the play, the AUDITIONS...
 
                        When my classmates were auditioning for roles, I kept on saying, "WOW, She's so good, maybe she"ll get the role".My classmate Christie Saldana had most audition in every part of the play, I think that she's so confident because she has the talent to do it.
                         For every sweet scenes that were being auditioned by my classmates, most of them would scream or would react that any of us wouldn't do.Then we wouldn't stop laughing already. It is so fun that we all like do it all over again.
                        For Cae, my directors told me that I should try to audition the role of a sage then I did, well I got the role and I'm happy for it.

After the audition, we were expected to have a "BUSINESS MEETING" but we didn't have enough time and so Mr. Guintivano set a time for that special casting.

At first, we were expected to be online at 4:00 PM in Facebook , we would discuss it through MESSAGE but it's kinda hard to communicate and so my classmate made a group name SHAKUNTALA for us to use it.

I was supposed to attend the casting but an emergency happened and so I only got to recommend for 4 roles only but still I'm happy and satisfied.

These moments were too special that we wouldn't win without these. :DD



       

Reminiscing those moments....

Props...Props...Props

 

Making props is so FUN and exciting.

 These two pictures were taken last November 6 at Hannah's house in Imperial, Mandurriao.

We were making  big rocks then some would paint it afterward.

I admit that making props at first was FUN and ENJOYABLE but afterward its all TIRING.

 One example is when were making rocks, the base was too soft that we should put many newspapers for it to be firm.

 We were making straps made up of sacks for the "KAWALS" while Kate and Rose think of playing it around...Ahhh, children will always be children...

It was so fun watching them while reminiscing my childhood memories....:)

Last Day, NO! :(

 

No!!! As in N-O-!-!-!  

 I don't want this play fest to END even if it brought a lot of arguments and emotions.

 I can say that I am VERY GRATEFUL to have FRIENDS and CLASSMATES who are so loyal and helpful.They make each and everyone in the classroom happy and busy in a way that if one haven't  accomplish her work, people will go and help her.

 Making this post makes me remember the moments when we'll all laugh or cry because of an experience.

One example is when I bought a sticker paper full of gems that can be put on the face, my seatmate Jesselle Laserna started putting it on her face the my back mate and my front mate did the same thing until it reach the whole St. Anne classroom.

 We said that the putting of gems on the forehead symbolizes our St. Anne Family.

"PROUD TO SAY THAT I AM A TATAK ST. ANNE" 

 

awww....:)

 

MANDEE!!! :))

 

Rose and Kate are playing under the sunny day.

 :)

I LOVE YOU ST. ANNE!!!

A special moment in her life....

 

Name: Johanna Kate N. Plana

Birth: November 16, 1996

Birthplace: St. Paul's Hospital, Iloilo City

School(present):Assumption Iloilo

               This picture was taken last November 20 at Greenwich restaurant in SM City. We had a birthday party and a window-shopping exercise.:) 

              This day was also a play fest practice for the whole morning. A very unforgettable moment happened in that morning, you may be asking why? Its because I fell in the St. Anne's Hall stairs resulting for I to have bandage for the whole weekend. It was too painful that for the whole day, I could not walk on my two feet. In order for it to be cured, they suggested that I should have a therapy. The therapy was that I should roll my feet forward and backward on the rolling pin for an hour. And for the record it cured and that I can walk with my two feet already.Yipee!! :))
