Another Victory for GOD’S GLORY

It was Friday morning and our school had a Mass of the Holy Spirit to start the semester. I attended the mass to offer it for the Mapua Makati DanceCom who was competing in the afternoon. They are the pride of their school. Undoubtedly, they are one of the school teams I know that have strong bond with each other sharing one passion and sharing their talents for the glory of ONE GOD. This is what makes this team strong and fast-growing. God serves as their center, their strength and their guide. For the 6 years that I have known and watch this team perform in the stage whether it is a concert or a competition, I can see how they are all inspired by the One up there with every move they make. And that day, a lot of their friends came to support and watch them perform their hearts out with no expectations of anything.

I was one of the crowd yelling for the team and it felt so much good that I was there to support my ate’s (girls of DanceCom) who performed in the Crissa Dance Synergy Competition. It was the first time that I saw them compete as an all-girl group and they were all astonishing. It was so breathtaking because even if they were all girls in the stage, they still dance like they were all men! That is how great they are and that is how I look up to them. I witnessed the unity of the whole team as I stayed with the other team members of the Mapua Makati DanceCom. I guess that is how Tay Dex and Nay Jen brought the team up. They are our mentors as well as our parents in Orange Dance Studio. They do not just teach us steps but they also guide us as performers, as students, and as children. DanceCom’s victory of being the top 1 in the eliminations of the said competition and being the Crissa Fashionably Fun group is also our victory and we offer it to God who made it all possible. 

EAT NOTHING, DO SOMETHING!

Last November 6, 2010, first time happened in our country a big event that surely made an impact to every individual who took part there. Who will ever think that I can join a famine event for 12 hours? LOL. I always get hungry and no one will ever think that I can survive a day without food. When we attended the orientation at our school for this 12-hour famine event I was just there because we were invited to perform an intermission number and we were asked to sign up for our NSTP but when we were already on the big day event at the Flying V Arena in San Juan, I realized that I have a better reason why I was there. A very inspirational AVP was presented when the event started and we were all in silence while watching and reading every statement in the presentation. I am sure that a lot of people who watched that was touched and now making a change. I myself wanted to do something extravagant for the people who get hungry daily and my first step was staying hungry for the whole day.

In the morning we were all doing fine not thinking of food but as time pass, our energy went down and all we want to think about is we want food. But the event was so high in energy and the people were hyped that time that is why we survived. With my friends in the backstage, we spent half of the day listening to all the celebrities performed and gave talks. It was really fun when you get all the chance to have a picture with someone in the television industry. There I realized that popular people not just look good on cameras but they all look good when you know that they use their time and effort for such event that help a lot to billion of people who gets hungry daily. At the end of the day, I was fulfilled and I cannot explain how I am feeling that night when the countdown ended and we all know that by staying until the end second of the famine, we made a difference and we helped a lot of people. I heard someone said that you cannot justify the statement that you took part of the 12-hour famine event if after that day you return to your old life doing nothing. We should continue to live up the spirit of helping each other out. Be selfless, eat nothing and do something!

YOUR PICTURE IS THE ONLY THING I AM HOLDING ON TO

I’ve been through so much pain for the past 6 months. I was happy until something happened that I never did expect. Everything was doing fine and going strong, then 3 days brought us apart and after that my life has changed. It affected me so much that everything fell down and I don’t know where I will pick those up. I gave my heart, suffered a lot. I thought it was already my best but then still something lacked. It was really hard for me to accept things and just forget. You cannot just erase in your mind someone instantly especially when that person became a big part of your life. People say it was hard because it was your first. My answer would always be it was hard because I already gave my heart.

I guess the world just goes round and round. I am done with all those dramas and tears. Life is changing for me. I stood up and try to regain my happiness again. Happiness does not always have to be from one person or thing only. You can always have happiness in everything in this world. And when you get to realize that, you are living your life to the fullest. And that’s what God wants us to do. I am blessed that when I was down, good friends come to pick me up. They are the reason right now why I can still smile and laugh despite of so much heartache. God is always behind me to back me up when I’m already giving up. I thought I could not make it but look at me right now. Happy as I can be because of the people around me. Though I guess I’m still holding on…to the picture that will never fade in my mind and heart. 

THINK ABOUT IT

Never again make the same mistake
or you will find yourself down with tears for nothing
Never again make the same mistake
'cause you deserve better than that
Never again make the same mistake
for nothing good will happen to you
Never again make the same mistake
'cause lightning shouldn't strike the same place twice
Never again make the same mistake
'cause in the end, you'll just suffer all the consequences
Never again make the same mistake
'cause people around you care for you
Never again make the same mistake
'cause your mother never wants to see you cry again
Never again make the same mistake
for in that experience you shall learn
Never again make the same mistake
'cause he might bring you again so much pain
Never again make the same mistake
and start moving forward for God has better plans
Never again make the same mistake
for in time you will forget that everything has gone wrong
Never again make the same mistake
'cause you'll regret it if you don't get up and live once more
Never again make the same mistake
'cause he's too good to be true
Never again make the same mistake
'cause that's just it 
Never again make the same mistake
'cause love and life are things you can't control
Never again make the same mistake
for you should believe that everything happens for a reason
Never again make the same mistake
'cause God gives us free will and we should use it wisely
Never again make the same mistake
'cause you shall make it to the end
Never again make the same mistake
'cause sometimes you should really have to experience to fall so you can rise again
Never again make the same mistake
'cause the world goes round and that is reality
Never again make the same mistake
'cause you should never let yourself stumble again
Never again make the same mistake
'cause that's just simply what you need to do
Never again make the same mistake
God made you lovely who deserves a smile in the world.
Never again make the same mistake
but make it right again!

Introduction of myself - Scriptwriting class

Hi I’m Maffi! Actually I don’t know what I usually say because I always laugh. I will laugh at any jokes I hear.So instead of having expressions, I just laugh at times.

I experienced writing when I was In high school because in our English subject, we have theme writing where we need to write an essay about a certain topic. I also experienced writing feature story last semester in our Journalism class.

In this subject, I expect to learn how to compose a good script because when I saw our schedule that we have Scriptwriting class I kind of think that I can not write a script or I doubted myself if I can survive the subject. I find the word scriptwriting quite hard to understand that requires a lot of focus and effort.
