A Sense of Life - MGS

Truly life is too short,

It is shorter and shorter each day,

Life of the living surely will fade away,

In a blink of an eye surely will banish away,

The time we have to live briefly given away

Why waste time in things forbidden?

Why spend time, discussing nonsense matter,

Like a vapor, our lives one day surely disappear

Don't waste your life living for self-gain,

Nor trouble your mind saving the game,

Live a day living to the the fullest,

For only Him know the horizon,

What lasts a day, when life away?

It's just be a dust to dust,

When take last flash.

Poem Inspired by a Sultan - MGS

 Understand this, people,

Kill your selfish desire,

Otherwise, it will kill you

Never be arrogant or boast your gain

Overcome your arrogance

Your conscience is your compass keep it, 

In the dark side look at your soul,

Be afraid of what you are capable to do. 

Understand this people, 

Be in good behavior

Be modest, be humble,

All the honor and power you don’t own,

Be grateful with your maker

And don’t let your importance overcome you,

Never become arrogance nor be proud

Be respectful to the Lord and humble to others

Your body, your whole human being all comes from God.

Understand this people,

Like a weather with different temperature,

Be hot, be cold both acceptable, 

Being lukewarm is forbidden,

Kill your selfish desire or else it will kill you

Remember how you were born, 

 Never forget it will the end

Do not boast about tomorrow, 

For it won’t pass without a sorrow, 

So, be under His care, 

 Be at peace and fruitful with Him, 

Your conscience is your pathways, 

In an eternal life.

Being Genuine - MGS

It is always easy to follow the crowd and do what everyone else is doing. However, that is not what makes me happy, so I’ll choose a different path. I can’t be what I’m not, and I’ll never be just another copy duplicating what others are doing.

For some, that makes them happy. For me, I need so much more than to lead an uninspired life. I need the things that fill my soul and electrify my heart. I’ll always be the one who walks, talks, and thinks like an original. I wasn’t meant to lead an ordinary life doing regular things. While some find happiness there, I need more. I crave colorful sunsets and rain-swept warm afternoons that complete my day. I want to embrace all the things that fulfill my spirit and ease my soul.

I crave adventure, but I am prepared to be alone with my kids and husband, without anything else. I seek out-of-the-way places with people, but I’m not attached to them. I find joy in the company of those I can trust and treasure. In a word, I want to be happy—true happiness with genuine people.

I’ll never be happy chasing someone else’s dream or duplicating the efforts of others. I know that sometimes I rub people the wrong way, and not everyone will like me or the way I think. I’m perfectly fine with that. I’m not trying to change the world for everyone; I’m trying to change the world for one person, and that’s me.

I’m not out to lead the crowd into being like me; I’m simply listening to my heart and following my dreams. I never claimed to be perfect or that my days are easy—only that I would tackle each and every challenge with an unbreakable spirit and a passionate attitude. I’m not the strongest person I’ve ever met, but I’m strong in all the ways that matter to me.

I’m a loyal friend, a kind person, and a devoted partner. I strive to embody all the ideals I admire and appreciate about the special people in my life. I’ve learned along my journey that I don’t have to be the best to be happy; I just need happiness on my own terms.

I make mistakes, and I conquer the mountains that stand in my way every day. I may rise and I may fall, but I’ll always do it my way. In the end, I’ll be what matters most to me.

A Letter For 10A SY 2021-2022

My Dearest 10A,

Hooray! We made it to summer. Indeed, some days crawling us but it seems like just yesterday. A yesterday, the “first day high” full of laughing mispronouncing your name. That yesterday that we were too awkward to greet each other in the morning. Yes, I am a little shy to admit but a part of me gets a little emotional when I say goodbye because you will be shipped off to 11 grades, I was a little denial that I will not miss you when you ask but the truth is I surely miss you… a lot! And this time I wanted to take a moment to reflect on our time together in Math class because you matter much to me.

Thank you for filling my every day with your “good morning Miss”. Thank you for making me important every day in doing all my request errands. Thank you for filling my desk with your complete classwork, quizzes, and tests. Thank you for sharing your life with me ( aside from doing Math) for writings, joking, and sometimes a love story conversation. Thanks for keeping me up on the modern technology and newest YouTube videos, Tiktok, Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook Reels. You keep me young every single day.

I'm sorry that there were times I was too overwhelmed and exhausted that I failed to reach out to your needy. I'm sorry that there were times when I got frustrated or lost my patience because I expected much from you that I know you are still young in the Math world and still learning Math. I’m sorry that I was not able to teach you the whole chapters of your textbook (we missed out on chapter 12) because I have to spend a longer time in other chapters.

Now, truth be told, I'm going to miss you all quite a bit. I'll miss your jokes especially Faith’s jokes and Sianna’s giggle not to mention Goodwind quality board work. Isatako’s effort and Wilmer’s unfailing patience to learn and to improve. I’ll miss every smile, your shocking face, every pop quiz. I’ll miss Sillass initiative to answer all board questions, I’ll miss Mama Ruthlynn, I’ll miss Roselina and Marryann’s warm hugs every end of your class with me. I will miss you all.

I hope you learned something from my Math class. I hope you learned to like at least one formula. I hope you feel more comfortable solving word problems. I hope that speaking and reporting in front of a large group isn't quite so scary now. But most of all, I hope that you saw my passion- my passion for teaching, my passion for young adults like you. It is my hope that I showed you that you matter and that you have potential and purpose in life because you do. Trust me, you do. I hope I taught you to laugh at yourself and to never be too busy to have fun.

You're off now to the next level of high school life and better things and opportunities will come your way. In two years more, you'll say goodbye to high school and hello to the rest of your life outside campus. I am so excited to see all the amazing things that you'll do, and the amazing places you'll go. Wherever life takes you, I hope you remember to live fully and enjoy every second of the moment you're in. Trust me, they go oh so fast. And one day you wake up and you're my age and you wonder where the last ten years of your life have run off to.

So, my dearest students enjoy this summer and make the most of it. Sleep longer time, eat plenty, laugh out loud with friends, shout loud out with others because this summer is your free time to do whatever will make you happy without the teachers stopping you.

Goodbye for now and see you around on Island. You are allowed to go but not allowed to forget me. God bless your summer!
