Talumpati

Agosto 25, 2007 ng magkaroon ng make-up class ang mga estudyante ni G. Rodel dela Torre. May dapat na nakaplanong gagawin sa araw na ito, subalit sa kasamaan palad, hindi ito natuloy sa kung anu man kadahilanan. naging madali ang ginawang plano ni Sir, tinalakay nalang namin ang lesson na isasama sa papalapit na mid-term exam at nagkaroon ng biglaan talumpati.
nahanap kami ng magandang topic at pinag-isip lamang ng mahigit 10 minuto kasabay ng break. mahirap makahanap ng topic dahil halos lahat ng topic ay akma sa mga tagapakinig at magaganda. napili ko ang topic na EDUKASYON: pribelehiyo or karapatan. medyo bulol pa ako sa pagbigkas ng salitang "pribelehiyo". nagsimula ang talumpati at sa kasamaan palad ika lima ako sa magtatalumpati. Sa paghihintay ko para sa aking pagtalumpati wala akong maisip na ilalahad, ngunit ng tumayo ako sa harapan ng aking mga kamag-aral biglang lumiwanag ang lahat at gumana ang natutulog kong utak.

Edukasyon: prebelehiyo o karapatan

Hayaan n'yo akong simulan ang talumpating ito sa isang maikling kwento. may dalawang matalik na magkaibigan, si Paul at si Mark. Si Paul ay angat ang buhay at kabaliktaran naman ito ng buhay ni Mark. sabay silang lumaki sa baryo at nagtapos ng elementarya. sa pagtatapos nila ng elementarya naisipan ni Mark na tumigil na laman sa kanyang pag-aaral at magtrabaho na lamang, sapagkat wala na silang perang pangtustus sa kanyang pag-aaral. Si Paul naman ay pinagpatuloy ang pag-aaral hangan sa makapagtapos ito at pumunta ng ibang bansa para doon gawin ang kanyang pagsasanay. si Paul na nakapag-aral ay umangat lalo ang buhay at si Mark ay nanatiling mahirap.

Edukasyon: prebelehiyo o karapatan

Para sa akin naniniwala akong ang edukasyon ay para sa lahat, ngunit sa katunayan ang edukasyon ngayon ay para sa may pangtustus na lamang, bagay na nagiging prebelehiyo na lamang ito. sa kwento inilahad kong ano ang nangyari sa buhay ng dalawang taohan at nakita na ang edukasyon ay naging isang mabuting paraan para mawala ang kahirapan ng isang tao. si mark na hindi nagtapos ng kanyang pag-aaral ay nanatiling mahirap at si paul na maykakayahan naging ma-unlad ang buhay.
Nakalahad sa konstitusyon ng Pilipinas na ang edukasyon ay ang dapat magkaroon ng pinakamalaking budget, pero ang realidad ay ang militar ang mas pinagtutugunan ng pansin, kaya nga ang libreng mga pa-aral sa mahihirap ay nawawala at ang kanilang buhay ay hindi umaangat. hindi sila makapag-aral dahil kapos sa pera, di' tulad ng may mga kaya. kaya, sa puntong ito ang edukasyon ay isa na lamang prebelihiyo.

Ok...the first thing to do is to know more about your instrument, especially the parts of it. Because if not, it is like you just grab food, but not knowing how it taste or buy a car, and not knowing that the car has 4 wheels!

THE BEST TOY TO YOUR CHILD

Inocent mind

A nun asked her class to write notes to God. Here are some of them.

Dear God,
I didn't think orange went with purple until I saw the sunset You made on Tuesday. That was cool.

Dear God,
Instead of letting people die and having to make new ones, why don't You just keep the ones You have?

Dear God,
Maybe Cain and Abel would not have killed each other so much if they had their own rooms. That's what my Mom did for me and my brother.

Dear God,
If You watch me in church on Sunday, I'll show You my new shoes.

Dear God,
I bet it is hard for You to love everybody in the whole world. There are only 4 people in our family and I'm having a hard time loving all them.

Dear God,
In school they told us what You do. Who does it when You're on vacation?

Dear God,
Are You really invisible or is it just a trick?

Dear God,
Is it true my father won't go to Heaven if he uses his bowling words in the house?

Dear God,
Did You mean for the giraffe to look like that or was it an accident?

Dear God,
Who draws the lines around the countries?

Dear God,
I went to this wedding and they kissed right in the church. Is that OK?

Dear God,
Did You really mean "do unto others as they do unto you?" Because if You did, then I'm going to get my brother good.

Dear God,
Thank You for the baby brother, but what I prayed for was a puppy.

Dear God,
Please send me a pony. I never asked for anything before. You can look it up.

Dear God,
You don't have to worry about me; I always look both ways.

Dear God,
I think about You sometimes, even when I'm not praying.

Dear God,
Of all the people who work for You I like Noah and David the best.

Dear God,
My brother told me about being born, but it doesn't sound right. They're just kidding, aren't they?

Dear God,
I would like to live 900 years just like the guy in the Bible.

Dear God,
We read that Thomas Edison made light. But in Sunday school they said You did it. So I bet he stole Your idea.

GOOD MORNING...

Basketball

It was Saturday last week when we had exhibition games to the SHMI seminary. We were eight seminarians including me (your honor) plus 3 Salesians. It was enjoyable not only because of the Italian food, but also because of the companionship and sportsmanship of the other seminarians.

This is not a Gospel sharing in seminary, but I was destructed by their theme “one goal, one heart, one vocation” from this I realize that the real purpose of having an exhibition game against the SHMI seminary is to be “one” with them. One in a way that we chose the same path, that is to serve God and one in a sense that from a little time we had we become one community.

Real mission land

Where is the real mission land?

Anyone who knows? Can you help me, pls… but before that I would just give some of my insight that provoked me to ask a kind of stupid question like this.

I was then in high school when my classmate wrote batch prophesies. All of my batchmates were laughing at me, I don’t know, I don’t care about them, but finding the genuine reason why they laugh at me, perhaps because during the times that my name was about to be called and after a long negative introduction. She said “Wilhelm is now a missionary”, wow! That’s the only reaction that I remember, I was also shock.

Becoming a missionary, why not?

(Suddenly after a long pause)…yeah! It’s really a big challenge to become a missionary, why not? It can be started right now, at this moment by doing your duties extra ordinarily well, also you don’t need to go to a far away land to be a missionary, just look at the people besides you and the people who need most of your help. There’s a saying that “Every people is a missionary and every soul is a mission land”, it’s true but yet the question is, how? Perhaps by the word “love” it may be answer and there may be no question about it. So for these, my challenge is the question that bothered me always, “how to love?”

Quotes:

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same."

Original Poem

Stars

Oh! tiny bulb in darkness
You’re small but terrible
A wonderful creation of God
makes my night intact

Your smile is in your light
Bright as sunrise
Hope and Strength you bring
Oh! tiny bulb in darkness

Original Poem

Sleep now, sleep

Sleep now, sleep
Let your night be at rest
Put aside the problems
Set it to the new day

Sleep now, sleep
To the colorful bed sheet
To the pillow and its softness
To the dark night

Sleep now, sleep
Let your mind be at peace
And your body, in stillness
Fly to the world of fantasy

Original Poem

Last Kiss

The happiness turns into sadness
Nevertheless, I feel no less
I left my bag and something else
I am about to live in a clueless world

A figure of a woman appeared
I see tears streaming from her eyes
Whispering words echoing in my ears
“Don’t leave me, please” as she appeals

Upon the scenery of wretchedness
As if a flower lost its freshness
She gives me the final blessing:
The hug and the last kiss

Original Poem

Night…Death

It’s already afternoon of my life
I must prepare my things
Get ready for what will happen
Be brave and tranquil

I heard their cry
I am soaked by their tears
I see only darkness
Oh no! It’s my new beginning…

Original Poem

Electric Fan

Roving power of three
Give me guts to fight
To fight the elements of misery
So I may eulogize you with a yell

I am weak in this world
“Standard” is my need
In the breath of Satan
So please refresh me once again.

Original Poem

Games

Football is the best
Swimming is less
Basketball here
Volleyball there

Games is to James’
Yell like in hell
Catharsis like your arthritis
Just play all day.

Original Poem

The baby grew up in the golden place...

In the Golden Place somewhere
In the Philippines
A man was born
It was summer so the fields turn into gold.

”Oh my Baby!” A mother cried
The baby was stepping in a quaggy
Mud playing with his toys
That the father gave him

In the petite, but vivacious house
Near the sanguine people
With the simple lifestyle, but happy
Near a wide wonderful field

There the Baby grew up and now a Man
He has an abstruse attitude
Because he wants to stand on His own.

Original Poem

Achievers

Fly high until you die
Spread your wings for you to fly
High above all is what you desire
Even though they didn't want.

Fly high for you to know
That someday will last it all
Last it all, you'll never know
Regretful will be yours.

Like eagles are you
Trying to reach the sky
Fighting the heat of the sun
That no one can survive.

Don’t achieve everything
Someone owns that piece
Give chances to the lowly
So they may taste the paradise.

Original Poem

Discriminated

Your color is dark as night
Because of the sunshine might
Your race, lower than mice
Nothing knew that you’re nice.

Your power has no right
Like the candle without light
You are slaves in their heel,
Low class, but you feel.

Original Poem

A Happy Death

The night is dark
No stars that shine
I close my eyes to rest
To rest for the rest of my years

A wail that wakes me up
Unfamiliar to the will for me
How I wish to go back then
For me to yell “Good Bye”

No chance indeed
So I accept it
I go around for me to see
To see who cares for me

A wonderful darkness I see
As if I am in the depth of the sea
I feel like a bird that flies
Flies until I rich the skies

All silent was the mood
Until a choir of Angels sang
The darkness turns into white
White that blinds me

No idea of what will happen
Only trust in someone else
Someone who loves and cares
Someone who welcomes me.

Original Poem

Lightning

Your flash remains in my eyes
Like the memories of love in this isle
Pure, powerful and mighty are you
Like the One who created you.

Original Poem

Great Silence

Ignorance is the only word of mine
Only darkness is my over view
Irritating sound echoing in my ear
Wondering in nothing else

Where is the music? My question:
Only the beating of my heart is the sound
The beat that strengthens me
In the world of paranoids

Heard nothing, my voice struggling
Wishing peace to be my savior
My perspiration runs in my course
And felt helpless, so I cried for help

A stranger appeared and wakes me up
I was dreaming falling to other world
A Great silence indeed, it has almost,
Almost become my end.
