Finally, exams are over. Now, what to do first?
Ooppss. I need to finished this one. I know that it is super duper late to post this blog but I need to divulge the happenings on the month of October.
Let's now recapitulate those occurrence last month :
* Feast Day of St. Francis of Assisi *
-- October 4. This is our last feast day in our high school life so it should be "no books allowed, just enjoy the day". In our section, books are always there on our side, it is usual for an A-section. But we shouldn't forget that we also need to play, have fun, and forget for a moment those mind cracking lessons. Hey! It's time to party party. *whoosh*

I lililili love the so-called "caterpillar game".
This day is so tiring yet fun. Yea!
* Trade Fair *
-- This is one of the activities in the UN Celebration. It's part of our practicum in T.L.E. All 4th year students were designated in each group. Where we should sell anything in order for us to earn money and to have large profit. I swear that it is not easy to be an entrepreneur but it is also fun. At least once in my life I had expericed to be an entrepreneur. It's surely an unforgettable experienced. :)

I would like to share a short story about God and how He never leaves us in times of hardships.
One day, a plane crash on an island. All passengers died except for the pilot. He was stuck on that island. The pilot made a hut for his shelter. He looked for food and stored it in the hut for his survival. Day and night he prays and waits for someone to rescue him but no one came.
Unfortunately, the hut burned into ashes and nothing was left of it. Because of that tragic event, the pilot got angry and questioned God why He had done this to him. The next morning, the rescuers came. He was very happy because at last he was found. The pilot asked the rescuers how they knew that he’s on that island. They said that it is because of the smoke signal that they saw yesterday. ☺
Inspiring isn't it?
Just always remember that God has greater plans.
He will never leave you especially when misfortune happens.
JUST BELIEVE
TRUST HIM
HAVE A STRONG FAITH ON HIM
GOD LOVES YOU SO MUCH :)

October is over. It's time for some spooky, scary, and creepy celebration. Say HELLO to HALLOWEEN!
Oh by the way, what is halloween all about?
The History of Halloween and All Saints' Day
The actual details of this eventual evolvement to Halloween are murky due to the lack of recorded history during this time but they are no less fascinating. It was the belief of the Celts that each year held two parts; the light and the dark. Samhain can be literally translated as summer's end, or meaning the end of the light. This day, November 1st, was considered to be the dawn of the new year on the Celtic calendar.
When Christianity began to spread across the lands, the name was changed from Samhain to Hallowmas, also known as All Saints' Day. The ritual of all Saints' Day was to honor the souls of the dead from the previous year, thereby defaulting the preceding day to be known as All Hallow's Eve or Hollantide, what we now refer to as Halloween.
Halloween: Around the world
In Austria, some people will leave bread, water and a lighted lamp on the table before retiring on Halloween night. The reason for this is because it was once believed such items would welcome the dead souls back to earth on a night which for the Austrians was considered to be brimming with strong cosmic energies.
Modern Halloween celebrations in Canada began with the arrival of Scottish and Irish immigrants in the 1800s. Jack O'Lanterns are carved and the festivities include parties, trick-or-treating and the decorating of homes with pumpkins and corn stalks.
In Czechoslovakia, chairs are placed by the fireside on Halloween night. There is one chair for each living family member and one for each family member's spirit.
The Halloween celebration in Hong Kong is known as "Yue Lan" (Festival of the Hungry Ghosts) and is a time when it is believed that spirits roam the world for twenty-four hours. Some people burn pictures of fruit or money at this time, believing these images would reach the spirit world and bring comfort to the ghosts.
In Sweden, Halloween is known as "Alla Helgons Dag" and is celebrated from October 31 until November 6. As with many other holidays, "Alla Helgons Dag" has an eve which is either celebrated or becomes a shortened working day. The Friday prior to All Saint's Day is a short day for universities while school-age children are given a day of vacation.
Halloween is not a festival native to the Philippines but is a recent adaptation from American culture, and is usually celebrated in urban areas during the last week of October by throwing Halloween costume parties and letting the children go trick-or-treating. Filipinos in rural areas, however, prefer to observe the more traditional All Saints Day or Undas on the first two days of November. Because of the similarities between the two festivals, Halloween and Undas have come to be linked, and even viewed by some as one celebration.
Common Halloween activities include trick-or-treating, wearing costumes and attending costume parties, carving jack-o'-lanterns, ghost tours, bonfires, apple bobbing, visiting haunted attractions, committing pranks, telling ghost stories or other frightening tales, and watching horror films.

Waaahhhhh!! I need to rush this. Okay now! Well this is our last intramural in SCA that’s why we didn’t waste any second of it. As a matter of fact, in my past three years in high school, I didn’t join in any sport it’s because I’m really, absolutely, and certainly SHY. *geez* But can you believe it? This year I’ve joined in basketball. *whoa* Thanks to Clara, because she is the one who urge me to join. Even though almost all of us in our team are their first time to play basketball we just bear into our minds that whether win or lose what is more important is that we had a great time.
Our team, Green Vipers, grab the first place and the Red Dragons is the champion. It is really unexpected. Oh well, that’s the fruit of our teamwork. *wink*
Summon into mind that "TALENT WINS GAMES but TEAMWORK WINS CHAMPIONSHIP."
Oh my! Those foods look crazy delicious! I'm craving for those sweets.
*want it so much*

There are so many happenings on this month let’s brush up those events that I have encountered.
-- UPCAT --
My schedule is August 7, 2010, 6:30 in the morning. Need to wake up early for that. Oh well, I’m kinda nervous on that time because I actually haven’t reviewed enough for the examination. Aside from that I’m also not feeling well on that day because I have a fever. The condition inside the examination room was very cold, good thing I’ve brought my jacket. While I’m taking the test my temperature is burning up and I feel dizzy. Thank God I have overcome it and finished the test. *sighs*
-- I AM NOW A CATECHIST --
This is my first time to be a teacher. Whoa! Seems like a great responsibility as well as an opportunity for me to share the words of God. I was assigned to teach the Grade 6 pupils. Looks like a tough one. But I can do it! Yea!
-- 1st P.T. --
This first periodical test causes my head and nose to bleed especially in Math and English; those head aching problems, solutions, formulas, reading comprehensions and unfamiliar words (oh my!). Fortunately, I didn’t have failing scores. *grins*
-- BUWAN NG WIKA CELEBRATION --
I do not need to mention all the activities and happenings on this event. I think five words are enough for me to express what I have experienced in this celebration. IT’S VERY ENTERTAINING AND FUN.
Whew! Finally I’m home. I’ m very tired but its fun hanging out with my friends. Yea! I really had a great fun especially on the so-called “death march” (hahaha). Could you believe that? We’ve walked from 7-eleven to Kristine’s house. Whoa! But it is a good thing for Von because it is an exercise for him in order to burn his fat (ooppss.just kidding). When we’ve reached the place we took a rest because it’s obviously tiring. We spend our time there for almost 4 hours of watching movies and non-stop eating (♥ it). There’s no more money left in my pocket same with others. What?! How will we go home? Well, there’s no other choice but to do the “death march” again. :)

"The salvation of all, required the sacrifice of one most dear"
This is the movie clip that we've watched in our English class. It is a story of a father who sacrificed his own son just to save all the people in the train. Very touching, isn't it? Because of that clip, tears rolled down from my eyes. By the way, what is the meaning of sacrifice? For me, sacrifice is giving up something that is very important just for the sake of others. This movie clip is the best example for John 3:16. God sacrificed His own Son to save us from our sins. Jesus is the perfect sacrifice. This proves God's greatest love for us.
