Christian Living Week


I walk through the stairs, different voices are echoing. There are chorale groups practicing their piece. As I walk further, I feel the presence of shakes and vibrations. There are dancers for the Christian dance rehearsing their performance. I stopped for a while, and hear a soft voice coming from an empty room. I saw a man, singing. Then beside me, I hear two voices interrogating one another. I knew that they are contestants of the Bible quiz bee. It seems like I’m not doing my part as a one of the contestant in the Bible quiz bee. I’m not cooperating with my partner but instead, wandering around. Meanwhile, I escaped from the two interrogating students and went out in a room. I saw our representative, Iralyn Aguilar, seeking an advice on our adviser Mr. Sandro. Ira is better going to best, as she seeks help on several workers at LVCC.
All of these is because of the celebration if the CL Week or the Christian Living Week at La Verdad Christian College Caloocan, which is organized by third tear students, AB31 and led by Bro. Jensen Sobrejuanite.

I feel the presence of CL week in the environment of La Verdad, because of the said preparations executed by the participants.

CL Week was started with an amazing introductory speech and led by the organizers.
Then the other day is the competition, which is started in a doxology of LVCC chorale and Bread Choir. Then followed with the Bible preaching, our representative Iralyn Aguilar, makes the crowd shout because of her great preaching. Next is the bible quiz bee, our representatives are Grezel Jade Pabrigaras and Jeraldine Salin. MCT-13 won the competition, earning Champion in the Bible Quiz Bee together with the HCS-11 representatives, whom are also Champions. Then followed with solo singing contest, wherein our representative, Rholand Austero had a great interpretation in his piece. After that, is our leisure time, we practice our performances. Chorale is the next, our representatives, blasts, as they performed of their best. Then, the mesmerizing moves of the participants on Christian Dance make the crowd alive. As they cheer for their representatives. The program was ended with a prayer. For being thankful of having a successful CL week celebrated at La Verdad. And nonetheless, for being aware of the purpose of bringing CL week, in praising Him.



Dear Kuya




Bringing the 'glory of radio', Bro. Daniel Razon, well-known as 'Kuya', a veteran broadcaster uplifts his long time advocacy. Dear Kuya is born as it is launched last January 14, 2013 and airs at UNTV radio La Verdad 1350 arms the Philippine Television Station, UNTV. From Mondays to Fridays at 9:00 am until 12:00 noon.

Bro. Daniel is the host of the said program. The welfare-looking Kuya helping his siblings.

One of the newest show that tackles about different problem concerns and issues in the society. And is quite  different from other radio programs as it focuses in resolving problems exploited within the community. Different problems like life, relationship and more. Different problems are resolved with the help of Bro. Daniel and guided by Bro. Eli Soriano, whom advice a Biblical-based truth.

I must say that Dear Kuya is quite different from other radio programs because it seeks to help people concerning their problems. Not only the program but also the host himself, is rarely different from other station hosts. As I am a radio user, I've heard a lot of radio programs wherein features a 'phone caller' who seeks an advice prior to his\her concerns. But instead of giving a reliable advice, the station host spontaneously delivers his/her own opinion towards the problem without giving respect, which comes as a joke. That's the reason why the caller lower his/her self-esteem even the absence of his/her appearance. He/she became the laughing stock of the listeners during the entire conversation. It only shows that several hosts, have no respect on people's rights and dignity. In addition, most of the radio programs' purpose is to entertain people, for not being aware of the consequences behind the happiness they bring on their listeners.

Dear Kuya, had given the scholars of La Verdad Christian College Caloocan a privilege to voice over such dramatozation, on stories that seeks a Biblical-based advice. LVCC-Caloocan is honored in having such scholars who work together with Kuya Daniel.

Dear kuya is not just an oriented program but a welfare radio program.

Art Month


Since it is art month, I want to share my favorite anime series. It is Yamato Nadeshiko the wall flower.
The story is about a girl named Sunako Nakahara and is called ugly by the first person whom she confessed her adoration. That’s why changes came into her life. She avoids all forms of beauty, in herself and in life. Because of these changes, for getting worst, her aunt, the owner of the beautiful mansion, where four very handsome students live, offers a free rent in her mansion. But in return they have to make Sunako into a “perfect lady”.
Meanwhile the four guys managed Sunako in becoming a perfect lady, but the problem lies on Sunako as she is not willing to change. Afraid of having the consequences, the four guys convinced Sunako’s aunt to prevent skyrocketing and triple amount of rentals in the mansion for not successfully transforming Sunako into a perfect lady.
But as they continue in turning Sunako into a perfect lady, Sunako suffers in nose bleeding when surrounded with beautiful creatures especially with Kyouhei. However Sunako has not preferably change.
I am fascinated on manga which led me on loving anime series. I am amazed by animes, since I’m 12 years old. Yamato Nadeshiko the Wall Flower is aired in the Philippine Television with Filipino dubbed, and my first favorite anime series. This adoration in animes and mangas results in loving art. I like to draw anime characters, and make my own manga of my own story. This became my hobby for my leisure times.
My childhood manga is W.I.T.C.H., which I’ve read most of the volumes that I borrowed from my sister’s best friends and also the manga lovers.
Mangas turned comics into modernity as it is produced by Japan, one of the most industrialized and developed countries in Asia.
The reason why I love Sunako is because of her characteristics similar to Pamela, my childhood best friend.


Why I am here at LVCC?

"Opportunity knocks only once"

Colleges are the stepping stone towards professionalism. I am fascinated on different universities with a quality education, but poverty prevails. In return of that quality education is the quality fees.

I am anxious for what my mother had decided on my college years. I am about to stop for one year, and try to work for my studies. Instead of losing hope, I've tried different colleges in order to obtain a scholarship grant, for me to be able assimilate a higher quality education.

Ingenuity is my ticket to passed the scholarship exam. Good thing I've found La Verdad Christian College, from a family friend. I inquired and take the scholarship exam. After taking the exam, the registration administrator had already confronted me saying that scholar slots are full, and the only way to get in is if one of the scholars will abdicate in the school. I consider myself as a waiting list, it seems like 50% possible and 50% impossible.

The day after the exam, I received a text message from La Verdad, I'm into scholarship and I need to comply on requirements.

The blaze of desire and enthusiasm in studying, blasts. I am grateful to Bro. Eli Soriano and Bro. Daniel Razon, for giving an opportunity to attain a higher quality education by poor. the scholarship grant makes my life more convenient for not appropriating fees on the organization. Moreover, instructors, staffs and heads of La Verdad are jubilantly accommodates new students of their school. It was a clever decision that I grabbed and still enjoying. I am aspiring to become a successful, it will possibly be through endeavor. I will not be shocked if La Verdad exceeded other prestigious colleges in giving quality education for students. Through this I may uplift my family fortunes.

3 idiots (Movie Review)




                    3 idiots is one of the movies that captivated me. The story focuses on the main characters that are engineering students at the Imperial College of Engineering, one of the best Colleges in India. Farhan Quereshi (R. Madhavan), Raju Rastogi (Sharman Joshi) and Rancchoddas "rancho" Shyamaldas Chanchad (Aamir Khan) are also room mates in a hostel within the school. Rancho came from a rich family while Farhan and Raju are average students. These three students became friends as they conquers every challenges and hindrances bravely. Farhan has joined engineering to fulfill his father's wish but beyond, he wants to become a wildlife photographer, on the other hand, Raju wants to uplift his family from poverty. Rancho is a wealthy genius who enjoys studying and have a passion on building machines rather than the obsession of other students on exam ranks prepared by their Professor Viru Sahastrabudhe/Virus (Boman Irani). By whom Rancho is irritated after their fellow student Joy Lobo hangs himself inside his room after rejecting his Project.

                  Professor Virus find a way to destroy the friendship of the three students. In contrary, Virus model student is Chatur Ramalingam / Silencer (Omi Vaidye). Who believes that a high rank would be his ticket into a higher social status, power and wealth. In addition, the honor of making a speech was awarded into him. Instead of having pleasure , he became a laughing stock of the of his fellow students because of mindlessly memorizing the speech.

                 They continue to anger Virus, but Rancho always comes first in class while Farhan and Raju obtained the last two positions.

                 Then Rancho fell in love with the daughter of Virus, Pia. After the confrontation of Pia with her Dad, who makes Rancho, Raju and Farhan's life miserable, Virus had realize something. The death of his son revealed. As he is not died in an accident but committed a suicide for forcing him to take engineering but is in love in literature.

                  After stealing the exam, Rancho, Raju and Farhan were expelled on the spot. But as Virus' elder daughter is about to give birth, in the middle of the storm. Rancho helped to deliver the baby as he is instructed by Pia who is still self imposed after the confrontation with her Dad. After giving birth, Virus reconcile with the three students and allows them to take the final exam to graduate. As usual, Rancho had received Virus' pen that is kept for decades and waiting for a brilliant student.

                  The story is framed as flashbacks. Ten years, Chatur planned a revenge on Rancho for embarrassing him at the award ceremony and swear to become successful than Rancho would. Raju and Farhan starts a journey in finding their friend Rancho. As they find different Rancho reality revealed by the true identity of him. As Rancho is an impersonator of  the lazy, wealthy child, to have a degree in Engineering as dreamed by his beloved father. They find their friend teaching childrens at Ladakh. Raju and Farhan get Pia out of the wedding from Suhas to meet fake Rancho. Pia and Rancho continued the love that they've started as Chatur is horrified on the truth that Rancho is Punsukh Wangdu his business partner.

Count on me by Bruno Mars (favorite song)


My favorite song is Count on me by Bruno Mars.

I value this song because friends mean a lot to me, especially the best one's. It is hard to find a real friend but it is easy to find a friend. I am inspired by this song as i was captivated by past memories together with my friends.    
I can rely on this song with a woman named Maisie Rivera whom is my neighbor, classmate and best friend. We became friends as both of us were came from heterogeneous section that became a homogeneous section. Being the first section student is a pressure not because of academics or highly expectations of teachers but the social life inside our class. We experienced discrimination by our classmates that results in drowning self-esteem. Racist of the class were grouped as their hobby is to bully students. Instead of giving up we face the music. In order to build up our self confidence we gave our best on studying academically and performing extra curricular activities. 

After all we had  proven are strengths that amazed our classmates. Different aptitudes reveals as we perform professionally.

We're like sisters that shares secrets. Every time i have a problem, Maisie laid a helping hand and every time she has a problem I lay my helping hand. In spite of the fact that we're not studying at the same colleges we're always kept in touch through phone and internet. 

Real friends are hard to find but I've found my best friend Maisie. :)
