As the season of donning a white toga approaches, my time as the Editor-in-Chief draws to a close. It's a humbling realization to see how we all share the same denominator. My journey is not different from the struggles and triumphs you’ve all experienced. From making haste in early mornings to late-night study sessions, each moment has played an integral part in shaping our collective story. Indeed, I can’t help but find myself reminiscing and reflecting on this remarkable journey we’ve taken together.

When our familiar morning alarm rings alongside our mother’s screams, waking us up, we start each day with blatant annoyance painted on our faces. We resort to our favorite line, “five minutes pa”, inevitably blaming traffic jam for our tardiness. As we move through our day, we witness different moments of our lives within the four corners of our room, including the core memories we build inside. It’s ironic, isn’t it? We will never forget how we prepared for an upcoming exam or quiz, yet forget all the lectures and PowerPoints we read as soon as we encounter the first question, thinking, “Ano kasi ‘to? Nabasa ko ‘to e.” Undoubtedly, our day wouldn’t be complete without the teasing from our friends for taking subtle glances at our hallway crushes. Additionally, after-school practices for role plays were always memorable, wherein our hidden talents in acting shine through, often leading to bursts of laughter as we improvise scenes and deliver dialogues. Furthermore, hanging out with friends afterwards, whether for a meal or a simple get-together, leads to empty pockets but hearts filled with memories of camaraderie.

At last, the moment we have all been waiting for is finally here. As we celebrate receiving our diplomas and awards, let's remember that they symbolize not just our achievements but also our effort, dedication, hard work, and perseverance. We’ve enjoyed every triumph, faced many setbacks, and fought silent battles, but in the end, I believe it has all been worthwhile because everything has finally paid off.

Grade 12 students under the Special Needs Education program have come together to compose a song aimed at reminding everyone about netiquette.

Written by Jasmine Felicity Y. Pangilinan, a talented learner with visual impairment skilled in playing multiple instruments, the song was then interpreted by the rest of the class.

The poignant lyrics highlight how a negative internet environment can lead to negative feelings within the community. Moreover, this project stands as a testament to their commitment to creating a safer and more respectful digital space for all.

This video song serves as the students’ output for their Empowerment Technologies class, under the guidance of their subject teacher, Ms. Krisjoy V. Ocampo.

Imagine seeing children swimming in a pool, people sunbathing on a beach, and students sweating, yearning for a cool air breeze. These are picturesque scenes of a season called summer.

However, each drop of sweat poses risks. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1,220 people in the United States suffer from heat each year, an amount comparable to a small town. Fortunately, there are many ways to shield ourselves against the sun.

Using sunscreen, especially one that has broad spectrum (PA+++), protects the skin against harmful UV rays from the sun and pollution, reducing skin damage and the risk of cancer.

Moreover, regularly drinking plenty of water regulates body temperature, keeping organs functioning properly and preventing dehydration.

Ventilation is also essential, particularly in classroom settings. By opening windows, we create an airflow that helps carry away the warm air inside, replacing it with cooler air from outside, creating a more comfortable environment.

Don’t forget about umbrellas. Although they are not a sunscreen substitute, they do provide additional protection. They are not just for the rain; they provide instant shade, protect against direct UV exposure, and aid in cooling.

As summer arrives, remember these safeguards. Applying sunscreen like lotion, regularly drinking water, opening windows, and carrying an umbrella like a knight with a shield are our tools for surviving summer, allowing us to beat the heat with comfort and protection.

Committing to real-life education, the Computer System Servicing and Cookery students under the Technical Vocational Livelihood (TVL) track have started on Work Immersion last March 11, 2024.

Collaborating with the school’s partner industries, including food businesses and computer-related establishments, the TVL learners have applied what they learned in the classroom, aiming to acquire expertise in the field.

Work Immersion is a subject in Grade 12 where students are expected to engage with industries aligned with their area of specialization—Cookery and Computer Systems Servicing. This serves as a training ground for students to be job-ready after Senior High School.

This program is made possible under the guidance of the TVL Subject Group Coordinator, Ms. Princess Joy L. Revilla, the Work Immersion teachers, Ms. Vianca Josen T. Estaris and Dr. Benjamin M. Tamayo, along with the supervision of the Public Schools District Supervisor and former Officer-in-Charge of SHS, Madame Amelita L. Pineda.

Sa pagbilog at pagliwanag ng buwan
Siya namang paglalim ng aking nararamdaman
Ang paghangang hindi maiwasan
Kaguluhan ang hatid sa aking kamalayan

Naaalala ang araw na una kang masilayan
"Bagong estudyante", iyan ang aking nasa isipan
Hindi maintindihan kung bakit sa ngiti mo ay hindi makailag
Natatawa ako dahil doon na pala nagsimula na ako'y iyong mabihag

Palagi na lamang nakatanaw sa malayo
Tinatanaw ang liwanag mong pilit na tumatago
Umaasa na sana tayo ay muling magtagpo
May araw kayang makalapit at mapagbigyan ang puso?

Oh buwan na nasa malayuan
Ito'y aking maihahalintulad sa nararamdaman
Pag-ibig na kay hirap pigilan
Pagtanaw sa malayo'y akin pa bang matutuldukan?

After a long vacation
June was born
He wasn't a good month
As he makes me feel alone

It was the start of hell
As I have to go to school
Everyday waiting for the bell
To drop reading the book

Yet I felt happy
When waiting on Miranda Road
Beside me was a beauty
Whom I want to wish for the Lord

She's pretty and delicate
Makes me want to talk to her
Ask how someone like her was made
And could she even be prettier?

Waiting on Miranda Road was heaven
As I could everyday see an angel
I bet she broke the heart of many men
And brought them tears like a river

I could stare at her everyday
And it would bring me no boredom
I felt at ease, it was a peace
I want her as Queen of my kingdom

But I have no guts
She will never be mine
From here, I could only watch
To a beautiful star of the night

A sunshine that brings rain
An angel that brings pain
A confession is not necessary
It will not end happily

Yet I still stare and stare
To a shining jewel of Miranda Road
Like a general in a battle
Watching how the battle goes

The battle for her heart
The love I called a war
I am a soldier who will march
And become her only monarch

And so, I took a step
To the path that will change my life
The moment our eyes met
I instantly lost track of time

I couldn't describe the feeling
I felt so blessed for real
But it was even more amazing
When she agreed for a meal

I told her that I admire her
But she just laughed it off
Yet, to me, it didn't matter
As her voice sounds so soft

Her pretty little giggle
It was a music to my ears
Her thinking is like a riddle
She could bring you so much fear

Her smile is like a ray of light
That gives hope in the abyss
It's saving me from every little fright
It's a sight I wouldn't want to miss

Everything went well
But it didn't last long
Just months after our farewells
She sang her one last song

It was a one beautiful night
Yet it was filled with sorrow
Couldn't believe that she died
I'll never see her again tomorrow

The gazes I threw before
Will never be received again
The one girl I fell for
Unbelievably met her end

If we were to meet again
I'd wish it was on Miranda Road
Even if you're a ghost, I wouldn't chicken
As you are my one and only home

Dear, I wish you the best
I wish you an eternal happiness
Though, I wish this was just a test
Or just a dream I will soon forget

I love you so much
Oh, angel of Miranda Road
From heaven could you watch
Until you hear my one last song?

That night
I chose to risk my heart
To venture something new

A leap of faith
A chance, a fresh and hopeful start with you
The one who effortlessly holds the key to my heart

Your laughter, pure, and genuine smile
Brought a wave of happiness
As boundless as the sea

A risk, a step, a twirl in love's enchanting dance
With you, I found more than love
I found a perfect romance

In the quiet whispers of the night
When the moon shone so bright, I chose you
My heart's delight, my guiding light

A risk worth taking, a love in the making, a story to tell
With you, every moment, every day, is a magical spell

Through the highs and the lows
The laughter and the tears
The shared dreams, the conquered fears
With you, every risk is worth taking
Every moment worth making

As the friendship continues,
the deeper I do
I see the gaze upon your ways
even though it says spurn upon every "hey".

I might never want you anymore
but my eyes could never recline
against the feeling you could rely on
what could be keeping me alive?

Looking at your eyes,
sights the things that I've been wanting for life
even if it's keeping me alive
could be very keen if it will be gone after a while.

07/02/2024

In the darkness of the night, my heart unfolds,
A bittersweet tale of love, a secret never told.
You, the first and only that my heart cherished,
In this lifetime, a love that will never perish.

Through the trial of time, emotions linger on,
A constant reminder of a love that's never gone.
Despite the differences, in my soul, you remain,
Yet faith, once strong, is now painful to maintain.

The dream of uniting is now hopeless it appears,
Lost in the void of shattered hopes and tears.
The wish to be with you is but a futile plea,
Lost in the memories of what we used to be.

I longed to take you on many wonderful rides,
On dates and adventures, traveling side by side.
Yet distance grew between us two, a silent foe,
Preventing the chance for our love to grow.

Regrets echo endlessly, tormenting my soul,
Foolish actions and words, paying the toll.
I long to rewind, undo the foolish part,
Strike my former self for tearing us apart.

Nakatanaw sa gitna ng kawalan
Nilalabanan ang ingay sa'king isipan
Mapait na nakaraan sadyang tinatakpan
Mga kandungang pilit na iniiwasan

Nararamdaman ay hindi tiyak
Sapagkat puso ko'y wasak
Nang makita ka'y biglang bumusilak
Mundong madilim kumislap ng parang pilak

Pinagmamasdan ka ng palihim
Dinadaanan ka ng parang hangin
Kung papansinin di mawari ang gagawin
Di maipaliwanag ang lihim na pagtingin
Nalilito kung puso'y paiiralin
Gayong napakahirap mong sungkitin

In the shadows, a flame flickers low,
Backburner love, a subtle undertow.
Two hearts entwined, or so it seems,
Yet one holds another in secret dreams.

A dance of deception, a delicate art,
A reserve option, playing a part.
While promises spoken in the light,
Another waits, out of sight.

Embers of affection kept on standby,
A subtle game, where truths may lie.
Primary love takes the spotlight stage,
Yet in the background, lingers a hidden cage.

Sweet words exchanged, a clandestine affair,
A backburner love, a tangled affair.
But beware the flames that silently smolder,
For in the end, hearts may grow colder

01/02/2024

Beneath the canvas of twilight hues,
Two lovers met, where dreams accrue.
He, a bard with verses sweet,
She, a muse with steps fleet.

Moonlight bathed them in its glow,
Their story written, a tale to sow.
Hand in hand, they strolled the night,
Stars weaving tales of love's delight.

Through fields of whispers, they would roam,
In the secret language of love, their own.
Her laughter, a melody, his heart's refrain,
In this shared symphony, love would gain.

Seasons changed, yet their love held fast,
A bond that time couldn't outlast.
Spring's embrace, like their passion, blooms,
In summer's warmth, love consumes.

Autumn whispered tales of memories past,
Yet their love endured, forever to last.
Winter's chill may come and go,
But the warmth of their love continued to grow.

Hand in hand, facing life's endeavor,
Through stormy nights and sunny weather.
Each chapter written, a love story's song,
Two souls entwined, forever strong.

So, in the book of love, their pages turn,
A tale of passion that will forever burn.
Through the highs and lows, a journey unfolds,
Two lovers, intertwined, as the story molds.
