I want to share to you my classmate’s poem… He made it right just after the graduation but he posted it this afternoon… Many gave comments to him and they liked it. For me, he will be the next MOST PROMISING JUNIOR POETER…

“Now that Highschool is Finally Over”

Now that highschool is finally over

And in our caps, we pulled down the ‘lever’

I hope nobody is a repeater

Because we already defeated this ‘challenger’

Now that highschool is finally over

Ushng all guts, courage, and faithful prayer

Going to college is no small matter

Because we need to push our limits a little higher

Now that highschool is finally over

I hope everyone is now a believer

For He will not lead us on any danger

Because He’s our only lifesaver

Now that highschool is finally over

I hope nobody here is feeling bitter

Even me, your beloved speaker

Hoped and wished it would last forever.

As a graduate of Emmanuel Christian School, I am proud to say that, I am a proud Emmanuelian. Being an Emmanuelian is the most memorable experience in a students life who studies in ECS. Many had said that in this school, teachers will bombarded you to everyday assignments, the rules will make you unmovable, the voice of the directress will make your feet step backward and starts to run. But they are wrong, being an Emmanuelian, the teachers will treat you as their own, the rules will make your dreams in just a snap away, and the directress will guide you to the righteousness.

As a former Emmanuelian, we are going to go out now to this “well-loved by many people” institution. We will miss our advisers, our classmates, batchmates, lower levels, the school, everything. As this graduation tells us that, we’ve done it, but still, the pain and happiness will remain ini this institution.

In our graduation rite, everything gone better than the past graduations because our batch will be the first to use the new sanctuary (the new WISDOM Church). We are so delighted that after many months that this new sanctuary was constructed by small but hard-working hand, at last its already finish. The rite was started at 5.00 pm sharp and the first performers are the church dancers dancing the song in the book of revelation that goes like, “Father Almighty who will reign forever”. Then the entrance of the Phlippine Flag, Emmanuelian Flag, the Flags of Jesus Christ and Holy Spirit, followed by the entrance of the teachers ans staff. Then the entrance of the Colors of Sections of Fourth Year with their respective advisers. At this moment, we didn’t imagine that our well-loved adviser, Ms, Amabel Rivera, attend to this said event for our sake. We trully missed her for at least 7 months. Each section presents their own banner with each names of their section in it.

Then a Worship Dance was the opening number for the rite made by sectios Job and Habakkuk. After the performance, the opening of Pledges, from the Panatang Makabayan (Pledge to our Country), Pledge to the Holy Bible, and Pledge to the Christian Flag. Then the Confirmation of the Graduates lead by our Principal, Mr. Rogelio Galang and by the president of ECS, Rev. Dr. Pastor Renato Ilmedo. We are so delighted that we are called now gratuates for we completed succesfully the requirements needed. Then our guest speaker, Rev. Dr. Pastor Eli Javier, spake to us about education and some outside matters. He told us to save for our future so that we can contribute our knowledge to the country. He opened a video bout a person who doesnt have 4 limbs but, he is a pastor in their town. No one from us graduates imagine that kind of person. Having informalities in his body, still he gave his life to God.

The distribution of diplomas is next, as we are receiving our diplomas in frame, there is a slideshow about our selves and what we will be in the future. But the slideshow is bit clumsy and sometimes got hanged or wrong. All went done.

The section Proverbs present a interpretive dance bout a father and a son. After that, the presentation of special awards. Many got these mouth-watering awards ever since this institution was stood. First is the Leadership award, wherein students who show sportsmanship, being a leader and leading the students into righteousness. Followed by the Best in conduct - students who show orderliness in the classroom. Thirdly is the Best in Computer award - who showed the deportment in advancements of technology. Then the best in Arts - who showed cleanliness in their artworks that may be the next Amorsolo. Then the best in Writing, students who showed cleanliness in their notes. Lastly is the Most Cooperative, who actively cooperates in school activites. Sportsmanship award was given to those who lift the name of ECS in terms of sports like basketball, volleyball, and swimming. lastly is the Loyalty Award, students who make ECS as their foundation since nursery.

Last Awarding ceremony is the Honorable mentions. The most Award that was distributed came from the section Proverbs. Claiming the Fifth to Third Honorable Mentions, First Honorable mention and Valedictorian. Our Class Valedictorian became touchy when he spoke infront of us, he became so emotional when he said that we are going to separate our ways and leave this institution.

Then Pledge of Loyalty saying…”to exemplify the desirable Christian Values, Strengthen family ties, selflessly involve ourselves in helping others, to strive to contribute to national growth and prosperity, as embodied to our commitment to God, to our country, and to our home.”

Last performance was made by sections Psalms and Ecclesiasies entitled “Love Will be Our Home”. This presentation was presented in a different way  - hand miming. Telling that we trully need the love of our parents because without them, we are nothing. Lastly is our Alma Mater Song.

Doxology then Recessional where we graduates of ECS are proud because we are now graduates and we are facing another stepping stone - the College life. But this is different, no one cried!

We are going to miss each of everyone of us. As a remembrance, we give our cellphone numbers to our classmates and keeping in touch in college. Also, we are planning to have a reunion maybe in the middle of college life or after 5 years.

Simply, this batch is the best of all batches from Emmanuel Christian School.

Here comes again the craze of the city – the audition for Pinoy Big Brother is now officially open for those who are inspiring to be the housemates of the said “Kuya” in the house, even though only voice of this “Kuya” is heard all-over the house. For now, the summer breeze is now in the air and the theme for this reality show is for the teens and they lowered the age limit, for those teens that are dreaming to enter, 14 to 17 years of age.  Everyone is dreaming to be an artist just by joining to this reality show. Also I, dreaming to be an artist, but I am not looking for fame or any nitwits to be a fame-searcher. Many have said that when you entered the house of “Kuya” and you became an official housemate of his house, you are an instant celebrity. Why? Because you are being watched by millions of people around the Philippines and to the whole world.

How can I be a housemate of big brother? How can I show the real me to the whole world? Easy, just be simple and unique to all among teens who are there for audition. Do a unique talent like playing a guitar, dancing an extreme one, sing with power and dignity, act until your eyes burst into tears and there are many more. I will not tell my talent to all of you because this will urge you to copy my talent that I will show to the jury. I’ll give you a clue; it has something about a tower that was destroyed because of their misunderstanding.

I had a vision about my dream to be a housemate of “Kuya”; I was in a van just behind the house of big brother and waiting for my name to be called. And as the hosts called my name, I went to the stage and faced the camera so that the whole world may see me and thank for choosing me as one of his housemates. I was hoping that my vision become in reality and I want it right now. 

As I entered his house, many are sitting in the sala and they are having their chit chat with other housemates – telling their names, their studies, love life, and the hobbies that they are doing before they enter the house of big brother. I too, joined to their chit chat. And they welcomed me so warm like a long lost family relative. Then big brother spoke up and he welcomed me to his big house. I felt like I was the VIP of the house, a special guest, and a long lost family relative that was finally found and there entered the house of big brother. 

The characteristics of each housemates are summed up inside of the house – there is “plastic”, province oriented, simple but bad, angst, silent, wise and intelligent, “blessed”, a future movie actor / actress, sweet but snobbish, etc.

What kind of characteristic will I show to the people as I entered the house and became the housemate of big brother? Well, that’s my secret that I know and for you to find out.

The night of promenade has come. All of us are expecting that our prom will be the best prom that we’ve had in our lives. Question is, is it going to be the moment night? I think not.

Assigned students according to their table number are now at their designated rooms, but they don’t feel the presence that they will be dancing again with their crushes. Many teachers, especially who is assigned to our room, is a total kill joy. Can’t you imagine, she don’t even let us go outside the room even the other students are outside. But she is so kind and humble to the Korean students of our school, and that is what we called “plastic”.

And now, the time had come to get the prom be ready, we fall in line along with our partners beside us boys. The aura of the venue is a bit romantic but classy – lights are on the trees (used Christmas lights), plastic trees (for the entourage), a photographer (our entrepreneurship teacher), emcees (our English and speech teachers), and a guest that we’ve been thinking that our directress hired it just for display and to dance in a dusty surface.

As the program starts, a short prayer that led to shame. One of our classmate led the prayer but later he sudden pulpit his voice unintentionally. Almost all of us slightly grinned to that simply so that no one can see, but almost all of us grinned. The prayer, even caused to shame, is a success though. Then national anthem played (very annoying!). Many from each of the tables dismayed because, it was the only day that must be no anthem singing, but the directress is so clumsy that night, she added it up. Then a very LONG and ANNOYING sermon from our pastor that he had prepared to us and he shared it to almost an hour and 15 minutes. My classmate, who is also my table mate at that night, telling something vulgar but only to us, words that are annoying to hear like “OWS!”, “SHUT UP!”, “GO BACK TO YOUR SEAT!” but, we give it just a laugh.

After that very long sermon, our tummies are crumbling and our speech teacher is like she heard our crumbling stomachs, so she lead a prayer for the food and after that an intermission dance number from the waltz dancers are made.  As the waltz dancers are dancing, we are serving our selves the “ONE TIME, NO SECOND ROUND FOOD CATHERING”. Very funny to hear, a catering service that is only for one serving? Its better that the school must hire not catering service but a sitting in food. The food is delicious and as I said awhile ago, one time only, no second round. How annoying! Many had make jokes about the food that will be served. “The food that will be served to us is coming form the canteen – spaghetti, carbonara, pansit, quek-quek, macaroni, porridge , soups, cheese sticks, kikiams, fish balls, squid balls, piattos, chips, burger, bread, and plus! Juice.” Many agreed to that joke, and thanks to those who are not heard.

Then the passing of the symbols made by us senior students to the junior students. They said hat the responsibility is now at their hands as they receive all the symbols of our school – the Bible, the logo, the lamp, the pencil, the heart, and the key.  No one is listening at this time. And that is one of the annoying part of the teachers. Then the continuous intermission dance numbers of different assigned dances – cha cha, arico mambo, boogie,  swing, and the tango.

The final part of our JS prom is the free dance till 9:15 pm only. That is a total bad trip to all students. Because all we know that JS proms are up till dawn.  But the prom of our school is so corny and not a moment for us. If they are going to make proms next time, they make sure that all students are enjoying, others are truly not enjoying to the dance – enjoying taking pictures. Many teachers are destructing the moment of us students.

And lastly, the awarding of the best dress, face, dazzler, king and queen of the night. Many are shouting that my crush won the best dressed of the night. I too, I’m proud of him, and again he received another sash from that corny prom. Then the best face, my won in that place and I think she deserve to be in that place. Then the dazzler, my rival won in that place that must be mine. Many are dismayed that my rival won to that place, but his partner, really deserves to be the best dazzler princess of the night. Why? Because she let herself dance to the flow of the song that she danced in their intermission dance – the a rico mambo!  And lastly, the king and queen of the night, my crush’s girlfriend won as the queen and the savior of our batch in terms of volleyball, won the king of the night. I think they real y deserve to be in that place, except to my rival!

Here are the errors that we students saw in the prom:

1.       The guests that our directress hired. They don’t even gave them the chance to talk in front of us.

2.       The food service is called catering and it’s a buffet! But the plan is buffet but one time serving only.

3.       No masquerade happened.

4.       Our swimming teacher, which is lesbian, and the 2^nd year teacher, who is so girl, is so sweet to each other. As if they are walking to the moon.

5.       The candle light song. It just be candle light dance.

6.       The drinks are ok but too sweet.

7.       The free dance is too short – 15 minutes.

8.       The awards are total insanoflex.

9.       We don’t feel the presence of moment.

10.   No group dancing

11.   No group picture in one side where students are compiling up.

12.   Teachers are so kill joy.

13.   Some gifts of others are expensive but mine….

14.   Gifts must be made by our hands not by others.

15.   Only one sweet and romantic song that we’ve heard – KING AND QUEEN OF HEARTS – which is also the last song that played.

16.   The sermon is too long that made us so sleepy and hungry to death.

17.   No parents allowed. Because this is our moment. Why is it bad that our parents watches us dancing with our crushes?

18.   Limited movements. You feel like you are in a jail box.

19.   The guests that our directress hired is “only for” free dance.

20.   The national anthem is exaggerated  and a record breaking.

21.   Our entrepreneurship teacher didn’t capture pictures to those who are sitting.

22.   The time is too short.

23.   The prom is a total wreck!

24.   The prom is too corny to us.

25.   No best dance group

26.   No prince and princess of the night.

27.   No souvenir given to us in the prom. The P50 is wasted.

28.   No disco ball

29.   Bit cold but not much that romantic

30.   The entourage is a remarkable spot. (Can I buy it?)

31.   Other students are so kill joy in free dance especially my dancing partner, she is so….

32.   Other students, that have girlfriends/ boyfriends, are vulgarized at the final dance – with a grand total, who danced that have bfgf’s, of 13.

33.   The emcees are trying hard English speakers – as if they truly speak fluent.

34.   Our directress leaves a message to us students who are going out after the graduation that led to a long speech.

35.   Lastly, I must be the best dazzler prince of the night not my rival!

Happy villaintines to all of you!
