EDITORIAL: DENGUE:

“Choose the right road for your future”
As a student, I know it’s hard to
manage our time in studying, doing your
projects and having fun.
I have to admit, in our world, many
teenagers and out-of school youth people
are now “in” to drugs. And it’s also a
fact that year by year… younger people
are getting addicted in drugs.
For me, drugs are addicting, very
dangerous, and very addicting. Good
thing there are many programs helping
these people to stop taking drugs.
Especially school programs, they orient
the about drugs and its dangerous
effects.
Jesus gave us free will to do what ever
we want. And as a student we have a
choice ----- either to study that is full of
hard work but sure of good future… or
to see your-self in the future, addicted to
drugs.
Rainy days are over which means during
rainy seasons, many diseases are
roaming around our environment
especially “dengue”. Did you know that
dengue can kill millions of people, and
the number of victims are getting bigger
and bigger.
That’s why our government assigned
many programs to inform the people and
teach them how to prevent it. And last
October our school held an orientation
about ‘dengue awareness program’. In
this program many students are informed
that we should keep our environment
clean to prevent dengue and other
diseases.
Let us all work together for clean
environment and healthy future. Let’s
start be removing the stock water on the
battle, old tires and open drums that can
be a place for the mosquito to egg and
always clean your surroundings and
drainages.

I admit… I can’t do anything to stop

them… but I can do something to
prevent them. With this editorial I hope I
can open the eyes of my readers and
consider this as a wake up call to have a
good life and good future.

People needs you, the world needs your

cooperation to help our mother earth. I
repeat, you have a choice… your future
is all up to your decision. And I tell you
this once and for all, ‘whatever your
decision is, it always affects your
future.’

So why depending others for your future

when you have the power to choose your
future.
REPORT:
“MMGPS at 2010”
Every child has an ideal home, every
student has an ideal school. Me as a
student of Mary, Mother of God
Parochial School my ideal school is my
school. Why? Did you know that Mary,
Mother of God Parochial School has lots
of improvement this year 2010. One of
these are: Improve school facilities--
every school has its own identity by
means of its high-end facilities, my
school even that it does not high-end
facilities, it have the best of the rest gym.
Our gym has recently finished around
the later part of the first semester. Our
gym is big enough to accommodate all
the students of Mary, Mother of God
Parochial School that has a total count of
students approximately less than 350
students. Imagine that! One of our
improve facilities is our canteen. Did
you know that our canteen now has a
two-line? One for those who will buy
their lunch and drinks, the other is for
junk foods and biscuits. For me it is a
great idea and convenient especially
on others who do not bring their snacks
instead they buy in the canteen. In
instant I easily saw the big great result of
that idea the students are not crowding
the canteen because they can easily get
out because they can buy snacks in no
time. Our canteen also have a newly
stack electric fan for the ventilation of
the room it is a great help for me
because even its quiet hot you can just
turn it on. And last in our improve
facilities--- this is the most essential
place for girls and sometimes in us. Yes
our comfort room is more improve
compare to the last few years. Our
comfort room had already have soap and
water on the sink compare last year.
Washing hands with soap is very
important, it help to cut down the germs.
Mirror, some girls can’t stay longer
without looking at the mirror so that's
why our beloved school principal and
our supporting SSC officers planned to
place mirrors in every comfort rooms.
Next in school improvement is the-- best
educational quality, our school is now
improve by means of our facilities and
curriculum. One of our improvement is,
our school is God centered school.
Because our core subject is religion and
even that's sound silly but its true. Every
time that we have new topic in any
subject, we take bible reading first and
take devotion about it. I saw the changes
in the attitude of my fellow classmate
and schoolmate and for me being
religion is the core subject it has a good
feedback on every one of us and I hope
other school would also have this kind of
curriculum. Next in our school
improvement-- high end teaching staff.
Last year 2009 two newly hired teachers
had come. And last but not the least,
students-teacher/facilitator interaction.
Many schools and university does not
have this kind of attitude so that’s why
their student does not even care nor love
their teacher. But here at MMGPS, we
all love our school our second home and
we also love and care on our second
parents, our teachers and school
facilitator. Our school they improve by
means of having more time with
interacting with us. Did you know that
last June we had our "Getting to know"
Olympics. Imagine that! No school will
think about that. It just shows that our
school really care for us.
So if you ask me how I love my school, I
would tell that I care for it as how I care
my for my home!
SAINT:
Saint Francis of Assisi is one of the
most venerated religious figures in
Roman Catholic history.
Francis was the son of a wealthy cloth
merchant in Assisi, and he lived the
high-spirited life typical of a wealthy
young man, even fighting as a soldier for
Assisi. While going off to war in 1204,
Francis had a vision that directed him
back to Assisi, where he lost his taste for
his worldly life. On a pilgrimage to
Rome, Francis begged with the beggars
at St. Peter's. The experience moved him
to live in poverty. Francis returned
home, began preaching on the streets,
and soon amassed a following. He and
his followers lived a simple life of
poverty and wandered throughout
Umbria, always cheerful and full of
songs, while making a deep impression
upon their hearers. His order was
endorsed by the Pope in 1210. He then
founded the Order of Poor Ladies, which
was an order for old women, as well as
the Third Order of Brothers and Sisters
of Penance. In 1219 he went to Egypt,
where crusaders were besieging
Damietta. Francis achieved personal
rapprochement with the Muslim sultan.
By this point, the Franciscan Order had
grown to such an extent that its primitive
organizational structure was no longer
sufficient. He returned to Italy to
organize the order. Once his
organization was endorsed by the Pope,
he withdrew increasingly from external
affairs. In 1223, Francis apparently
arranged for the first Christmas manger
scene. In 1224, he received the stigmata,
making him the first saint known to bear
the wounds of Christ's Passion. He died
in 1226 while singing Psalm 141.
POEM:
GOD WOULD KNEEL DOWN
I think God might be a little prejudiced.
For once He asked me to join Him on a
walkthrough this world,
and we gazed into every heart on this
earth,
and I noticed He lingered a bit longer
before any face that was weeping,
and before any eyes that were laughing.
And sometimes when we passed a soul
in worship
God too would kneel down.
I have come to learn: God adores His
creation.
PRAYER:
Lord, make me an instrument of your
peace.
Where there is Hatred, let me sow Love.
Where there is Injury, Pardon.
Where there is Doubt, Faith.
Where there is Despair, Hope.
Where there is Darkness, Light, and
Where there is Sadness, Joy.
O Divine Master,
Grant that I may not so much
seek to be consoled as to console;
To be understood, as to understand;
To be loved, as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive,
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
And it is in dying that we are born to
Eternal Life.
LOVESTORY:
“High School Love Affair”

It was June 2001 when Billie & Anne

became classmates during their 2nd year
high school. Billie is a jock, bully and a
war-freak guy, on the other hand, Anne
is sweet, sensitive and very smart.
During their first day on class, Billie saw
Anne entering to the door, and fall in
love with Anne. Anne is an exchange
student so she doesn’t talk too much
unlike Billie.

Because Billie liked Anne so much, he

decided to court her. Anne also felt
something to Billie, so after 3 months
they become boyfriend and girlfriend.
Billie changed a lot when Anne entered
to his life--- he became sensitive and
sweet. Billie promised Anne that he will
not fight nor be bully anymore.

They became really great couple

together… suddenly when Billie is with
his friends, a gangster attacked them. It
was the same gang who Billie and his
friends fought before when Billie and
Anne aren’t a couple yet. Because Billie
promised Anne that he will not fight
anymore, he didn’t fight back. Billie and
the company were rushed to the hospital,
Anne went to Billie and asked why he
didn’t fight back…Billie smiled and said
“I promised you tat I will quit fighting so
I didn’t fight back”.

After a week, Billie came out to the

hospital and went back to school. They
are still a sweet couple and they already
had their plans for their future together.
They also promised that they will live
together and love each other forever.
