ST. PHILIP NERI BATCH 2008-2009

PHINE

When we feel down and degraded
There is someone up there somehow
Watching and caring for us
Loving and helping us

Chorus:
Whatever we do he's there
He's always up there and stares
Pour us blessings everyday
And really guides us everyday
Helping us to improve
showing them and to prove
that everybody's worth his time
And he makes everybody's time
WORTHWHILE

Growing up with Him
is really worth remembering
It's a treasure forever
And it makes us stronger
When we have to face some trials
Don't hesitate to ask
His guidance makes us stronger
Knowing what's right and wrong

(repeat chorus)

This is like
How growing up with Him
And he forms us from within
Someday we'll know more about it
But now
We have to love him more

(repeat chorus 2x)

I'm proud to present this wonderful song, WORTHWHILE to you guys. I performed this song together with my former classmates last year, St. Philip Neri. We sang this song last year, for the Cathecetical Week. And as a reward of our hardship in practicing to make our performance a success, we were held as the CHAMPION and all of us we're very happy of the result. Our adviser, Mrs. Wolcott jumped because of happiness. All of us were very delightful because each one of us did everything to make this perfect.

St. Philip Neri, was my section last year and I'm very proud that I belonged to this class.

Eventhough we're not the best section we always make sure that our class is behaving well eventhough our teacher wasn't around. I can say that our class have unity. We always have cooperation and participation with one another so we did our duties and responsibilities well as a class. We also make our teachers proud of us and we always make sure that they won't get mad.

Our class was having fun everyday. We were having lessons happily. We made our projects together. We eat our food together during break time. We also share stories and moments with one another. As a class, we have many wonderful experiences together that happened. All of us treasured each moment and keep those meaningful memories in our hearts.

I have many moments to treasure with them. And I'm very thankful that even once they have been my classmates and friends. I can say that all of them cared and loved me. And I'm thankful to them because they showed how important I am to them and they supported me in all the challenges that came to me. And I say that they are one of those reasons why I'm in the best class right now. And now, I'm really missing them.

St. Philip Neri has been a big part of my life. They taught me how to fight, smile, cry, or even get mad. But one thing is for sure, is that they made me a true person.

Friendship That Lasts Forever

FRIENDS
are one of the most valuable persons that everyone really treasure so much. But why do people do this? Is it just because to have popularity or is it because they are afraid to lose the people they ere keeping for?

We value our friends like our favorite toy just so much because they are the persons who are always there for us no matter what happen. They keep beside on you through good times or even in bad times. They care for you by showing support and giving advices. They make you happy whenever you're sad and make you smile when tears about to fall from your eyes. These people show how much they love you. They are the one who tells you if the things you're doing is right or wrong. They correct your mistakes. When someone is hurting you, your friends are always there ready to defend you.

But, sometimes we can't avoid to have some conflicts and misunderstanding with our friends. Sometimes, we don't even noticed we're hurting each other and that we're forgetting we're friends just because of our anger and madness. And because of that reason, your friendship will break. Sometimes, we don't want to forgive each other and forget what happened. That's the start of acting like you don't know each other like you're both strangers with one another.

Yes, you're hurt, but is that the enough reason to forget and throw away the moments you've shared with them? Is that enough? Do you think, things will go fine if you keep having your pride on top of your heart? Is it enough to ignore others, to forget the pain inside? Is it fine to stop apologizing?

If that will happen, surely you won't even get back the things that happened to you with your friends. You won't even find true friends because you're afraid to lose them again. You will have no more confidence in yourself of gaining friends. You will be lonely, and you'll seek happiness and attention that only your true friends can give.

So, now, start valuing your friends. Treasure them in your hearts as you treasure others. treat them as you want them to treat you. Love and take care of them as they do to you. Thank them for all the things they have given you. And of course, apologize to them whenever you hurt them.

Friends are like balloons,
once you let them go
you can never bring them back.

Math

I Love.. I Can... I Math...

That's the theme of the Math Quiz be held last November 25, 2009 at the SJA auditorium. This academic competition involves the participation of the Math Club, Math Club Members, Marth teachers, and of course the participants.

Everyone were very excited to know who will win and who will got the highest score. Before the contest began, the participants were very nervous. You can see the nervousness on their pale faces. You can't even paint their faces!

Well, nobody else can stop the competition. It already began and the audience became quiet upon hearing the first question. Students at the crowd were cheering continuously for their classmates. After the easy and average round, the Sophomore students from II- St. Jerome had a intermission number. And after the Difficult round, before the announcements of the winners, we have watch a short film entitled,
"Partly Cloudy". Well, I was touched by this short film because it have shown the value of loyalty of someone to the person that he/she loves and really cares for.

After watching, Sir Agao had announced the winners. Group 4 was the Champion, with the contestants:

Pauline Naranjo- St. Therese of the Child Jesus
Alwyn Pañoso- St. Teresa de Avilla school
Inoh Amboy- St. Thomas Aquinas
Camille Gregorio- St. Anthony de Padua

The crowd were very happy to hear the names of their classmates and were very proud to cheer out their names.

The Math Quiz Bee, was successfully done their part. And in this way, the Josephians once again prove their talents and skills to themselves and to others. Also, this contest had helped many students gain confidence and braveness in theirselves that they may believe that they can do what can others do before and that they have talents that others don't have. Also., this contest teaches each and everyone of us that we should share the talents and capabilities we have to others so we may help them and in that way we can thank God of giving us this wonderful graces. :)

Favorite Places in School :)

We have many favorite places that we would like to go. As students there are places in the school that make us happy and those places in school make us comfortable and happy. There, in those places, we have wonderful memories to treaure together with our classmates, friends, teachers or even our special someone. Well, that's are Josephians and we really love to enjoy ourselves eventhough we're studying and we find it hard to understand some of the lessons we are having during class hours.

*classroom--> Well, if you are really a responsible ang hardworking student, this might be you're favorite place. And if you are too lazy to roam around the campus you probably like to stay here and sit on your chair...

*clinic--> Well, if you don't like the subject you will immediately go to the clinic and act in front ogf the nurse as if you really feel bad! :) And of course, the clinic has its aircon that's why you can really enjoy staying there while your classmates are sleeping in the classroom. :)

* CR --> Well, girls really like this place. (actually this is my favorite place) Girls can stay here for a long time. Every break time, this is the place they will go first, combing their hair, putting some powder on their faces and other personal things to do. And this is also the place where we express our feelings. I just don't know why... :)

*Library--> Yeah!! Well, if you have some assignments to do, you'll go to the library and ask your classmate if you can copy their assignment. obviously, you will go here so that your teacher won't see that you're just copying. And of course if it is hot outside, expect that the library will be full of students!

*Sportsfield --> This place might be your favorite place if there's an important event in school that is going on. specially, when you're section we'll be having it's feast day. And of course, during Intramurals. And I'm truly sure you will stay here for the whole day watching games and specially, looking for your crushes! :))

*Canteen --> If you like eating, you'll go in this place. But I think food here is too much expensive.. (hehehe)
