"In the end, we only regret the chances we didn't take" - Take A Chance With Me by Niki

NIKI, a global pop sensation adored for her soulful voice and emotionally resonant lyrics, consistently delivers music to fans worldwide. Her song "Take A Chance With Me" expresses a universal sentiment about our hesitation to embrace the unknown, highlighting the regret that often follows missed opportunities. The lyric, "In the end, we only regret the chances we didn't take," reflects this inner conflict and the consequences of playing it safe. For us students, this message is incredibly impactful as we navigate crucial decisions that could shape our future, which is often held back by fear of failure or rejection.

Reflecting on this lyric highlights a critical flaw in how many of us approach life. Society often encourages a mindset where taking risks is considered reckless, fostering a culture where security is prioritized over growth. However, the actual risk lies not in trying and failing but in letting opportunities pass us. Students, caught between the expectations of their surroundings and their inner aspirations, sometimes give up risks that could lead to remarkable personal and intellectual growth. But what if there was never a chance, to begin with? What if the opportunity itself was the only gateway to transformation, and by letting it slip away, we forever forfeit the possibility of becoming more? The lyric reminds us that this hesitation to act can be far more destructive than any potential failure.

NIKI's words remind us of an essential truth: risk is always better than regret. The pain of regret lingers longer and more profound than the wounds of failure. In life, we are often presented with fleeting moments to act, to be brave, and to embrace the unknown. The challenge lies in recognizing those moments and choosing courage over complacency. We unlock our full potential through taking chances, and while not every risk may result in success, every regret is a missed opportunity that could be the root of distress. Thus, we must shift our thinking and realize that a life spent in fear of the unknown is half-lived. Taking the risk, in the end, is the only way to live without regrets.

They say the heart is the window to a person’s soul, and the soul of a person shows who they truly are. What we see in a person’s heart may differ from one another, one person could have a heart that is made of gold and another could have a heart that is made of stone.

This verse teaches us many lessons that protects the very heart that has our soul, it tells us that the actions we do stems from the beliefs we have, beliefs that come from our hearts. We must protect our heart and reject attempts of temptation from those around us, most especially temptation that would lead to us going against good and against our morals. In a deeper essence the bible also mentions that guarding one’s heart mean we our always in war with ourselves and their our people who is bent on our destruction, they tempt those who are aligned with the Lord —— like us who are his creations. And what does it mean to guard one’s heart? By looking ahead fixing your gaze directly before you, and simply walk in the path that you know is true. And by giving careful thoughts in whatever action that you do to say it in a more simpler term, follow your heart and that would lead you to goodness.

Paulinian Educators Are Called to Evangelize

Today, August 16, Paulinian educators participated in a training and workshop focused on facilitating Basic Ecclesial Communities (BEC) and accompanying youth in their spiritual journeys. The event featured resource speakers from the Office of the Promotion of the New Evangelization (OPNE) team.

Ms. Ninna Gabrielle Castro and Mr. Clarence Felomino facilitated the program, which began with a centering prayer. This prayer allowed participants to engage in personal reflection as they prepared themselves for their roles as evangelizers. Following this, Ms. Charsey Marjorie Reyes led everyone in an opening prayer.

The first session emphasized Paulinian spirituality and identity. Ms. Maribel Corcolla guided participants through a reflection on the biblical story of Mary and Martha, who welcomed Jesus into their home and listened to His teachings. This reflection prompted the educators to re-evaluate their actions and commitment to be living witnesses of their faith.

In the second session, Fr. Mark Demanuele led the participants on a journey through synodality, inter-ministeriality, and missionary (SIM) work. He also presented data highlighting the decline in Mass attendance, challenging the educators to take action as evangelizers. Fr. Mark echoed the words of Pope Francis, reminding them that evangelization is the mission of the Church, and that everyone is called to participate.

The final activity involved small group sharing sessions using Alpha, a tool designed for local churches that fosters hospitality, sharing, and open conversation. This activity encouraged educators to build deeper connections with one another while reflecting on videos centered on developing a relationship with God.

The day concluded with a Eucharistic celebration.

Our dreams and aspirations depict us, more than as a person, but as what we are like in the future. Even when we face a lot of difficulties and judgments, the passion and desire to pursue these aspirations ignite the flame within us, even when faced with societal expectations.

The coming-of-age 2019 film ‘Little Women’, portrays hardships, self-sacrifice, and love during the Civil War era in New England, following the story of the four March sisters—Jo, Meg, Beth, and Amy—as they navigate their life through womanhood in a patriarchal society. Jo, the ambitious writer, pursued her dreams and taught in New York. Amy, the artistic sister, studied painting and lived in Paris with her Aunt March. Meg, the oldest sister, is married to a schoolteacher. All is well, until Beth, the youngest, suffers from an illness that brings back their family together.

When the news flashed that Jo’s sister, Meg, was marrying off to a penniless teacher, Jo felt betrayed, because it wasn’t the dream that she planned for Meg. Jo insisted Meg to escape on the day of her wedding, to pursue her lifelong dream of being an actress. Howbeit Meg said, “Just because my dreams are different than yours, it doesn’t mean they’re unimportant.”

When the talk about dreams that are not considered sensible is offered at the table, it is often judged, misplaced, and belittled. That one’s dreams aren’t important, to pursue one passion, regardless of idle talks.

Meg, the traditional sister, uncovers the deepest layer of her unique ambitions and desires – following the life she sets her heart on detached from the eyes of those around her. Despite the struggle to keep up with the gender roles of the 19th century, she begins to question these norms and asserts her right to pursue her dreams, even if they differ from those of others.

Meg March accentuates the importance of embracing diversity and recognizing the value of different aspirations. In a world that often values conservativeness and stability, it encourages individuals to hug their uniqueness and to strive for their own goals, regardless of whether they are recognized or appreciated by others. It is a powerful reminder that everyone has the right to dream, to aspire, and to pursue their passions, without feeling pressured to fit in and face a predetermined path.

Moreover, this emphasizes the importance of empathy and compassion. It suggests that we should be open-minded and respectful of others' dreams, even if they differ from our own. Meg is challenging these restrictive expectations and paving the way for future generations of women to pursue their aspirations. Her words serve as a beacon of hope and inspiration for those who may feel constrained by societal pressures or limited by their circumstances.

On this day, the Province of Bulacan celebrates its foundation—furthering the many years that the great province has stood.

Historic moments from Bulacan's Spanish occupation abound, earning the province the designation of "Gateway to the Northern Philippines." As we commemorate its establishment for another year, we reminisce about all it has braved.

Commencing with the signing of the Biak-na-Bato Pact in 1897—a momentous occasion in Bulacan history—later on, from 1898 to 1899, the Malolos Church and the Barasoain Church were recognized as President Aguinaldo's executive and legislative headquarters. The Malolos Constitution, a well-known and significant document, was also initially composed and ratified in Malolos.

Beyond that, Bulacan is the birthplace of noble heroes and the home of numerous of the best artists within the nation, many of whom have been recognized as national artists. Famous artists include Jose Corazon de Jesus, widely recognized as "Huseng Batute," Marcelo H. Del Pilar, "The Great Propagandist," Francisco Baltazar (Balagtas), "The Prince of Filipino Poets," Gregorio del Pilar, "The Hero of Tirad Pass," and Francisca Aquino, the leading practitioner of Philippine folk dance.

As we commemorate Bulacan’s founding anniversary, Bulakeños take fierce pride in living by these triumphs and take great pleasure in their history and traditions. Indeed, through these glories, we strive for the utmost dedication to national goals and achievements.

“To foretell the destiny of a nation, it is necessary to open the books of her past.” - Dr. Jose Rizal, quote inscribed in Fort Santiago

Widely considered one of the greatest heroes of Philippine history, Jose Rizal was a devoted patriot and a prolific writer who founded La Liga Filipina, which aimed to unite the whole archipelago into one uniform body. His unlawful exile and the shutting down of the secret organization galvanized a new Filipino nationalist movement called K*K or Kataastasan, Kagalanggalangang Katipunan ng mga Anak ng Bayan (Supreme and Most Honorable Society of the Children of the Nation). Through his masterfully drafted writings, he opened the eyes of Filipinos to the exploitations of his fellowmen by the Spaniards. This August, we have been called to celebrate our mother tongue and how it liberates us individually and collectively.

The Philippine archipelago is regarded by many as a country abundant in natural resources and prosperous of national treasures, but its true beauty lies in its rich culture. Our history is more than just a collection of dates and events; it’s a narrative that shapes our nation's identity and future. From the moment colonizers first stepped foot in our land, our ancestors fought for liberty and sovereignty; the Filipino language is a testament and a vessel through which our heroes' worthwhile hardships are told and preserved. Our past deeply entwines with our language, for it is the latter that reminds us of our heritage, and the former encourages us to venture further toward freedom. Through appreciating and utilizing our mother tongue responsibly, we safeguard our nation's identity, which our ancestors worked tirelessly to build.

Dr. Jose Rizal's words illuminate us that our language is more than just a means of communication; it is an integral keepsake of our cultural identity. Every word, every phrase, and every sawikain is infused with the blood, sweat, and tears of the people who came before us. In a world that is overwhelmingly globalized, where colonial mentalities run rampant and foreign cultures overshadow our own, we must not forget to honor our nation. We must put first the language which has been the foundation of the Philippines' identity, especially during this Buwan ng Wika.

With hearts full of hope and hands raised in prayer, the Paulinian community gathered on Wednesday, August 7, to celebrate the Mass of the Holy Spirit.

Attended by all grade levels, the celebration saw students, faculty, and staff unite in a solemn and joyful recognition of the Holy Spirit’s steadfast presence in our lives.

The homily stressed the significance of inviting the Holy Spirit into all aspects of life—whether in moments of triumph or challenge—urging everyone present to remain open to the Spirit’s guidance, as it is through it that they find strength, wisdom, and peace.

The gathering was further enriched by the active participation of the students, whose voices joined in harmonious prayer and song, filling the amphitheater with reverence.

Indeed, such a gathering was more than just a liturgical event; it was a moment of deep spiritual renewal and reaffirmation of the community’s shared faith. As it drew to a close, everyone carried with them a renewed sense of purpose and a strengthened resolve to live in the Spirit’s guidance, knowing that they are never alone in each of their journeys.

Every person has experienced a crippling anxiety in their life, it is both unavoidable and inevitable. But, that would not mean that we have to live every hour and every day of our lives with that anxiety. For God is there to lend his ear for us.

At the beginning people may find the questions of how are lingering in their mind. How can they not worry or be anxious? Or how can God even listen to a person’s worries? The answer is simple, through prayer. This solution could be found in this very verse, if we speak to God with humbleness and gratitude, if we simply present our worries to God in the form of a prayer, He would listen. This verse is a comfort to those who have anxiety and fear within them, it’s telling these people that they don’t have to be worried, afraid, nor alarmed about anything at all. If we instead turn our worries into prayers and have a one on one conversation with God everything would alright. Since all things would work out, most especially to those who believe and love God.

While one with excellence, St. Paul College of Bocaue remains steadfast in upholding environmental stewardship.

Alongside the Organization Recruitment Day, students who stayed in their classrooms were reintroduced to the SPCB GREEN—a prime initiative of our institutional commitment to environmental sustainability.

Although officially launched earlier this year, SPCB is dedicated to keeping the Paulinian community aware of its ongoing and future efforts to protect the environment, starting with the planet we all share.

Homeroom advisers took the lead in discussing the initiative's current projects, such as encouraging the use of reusable cutlery and containers for meals and promoting energy conservation across campus facilities.

The session also shed light on upcoming projects that the institution is eager to implement, underscoring SPCB’s unwavering dedication to making a positive impact on the environment.

As the initiative continually unfolds, the entire Paulinian community is called to participate actively, embodying the values that not only enrich their lives but also contribute meaningfully to the world around them.

Every person has their own story written within the pages of their life, with each chapter bringing unique experiences that shape who we are today. Some are still writing the chapters of the life they aspire to live, with every tale featuring moments of joy and contentment, alongside challenges and trials. Despite these challenges, the characters of the narrative face them with courage and determination, leading to their eventual triumphs and happy endings.

Although life is full of imperfections, marked by highs and lows, there will always be a guiding light, like a candle that brings hope in the dark — much like in ‘The Book of Life.’

The 2014 film The Book of Life, directed by Jorge R. Gutierrez, revolves around the story of Manolo Sanchez and his two best friends, Joaquin Mondragon Jr. and Maria Posada. Their friendship is unbreakable, for despite unique spirits, they remain close to one another.

Manolo struggles with his father’s expectations to become a bullfighter, despite his passion for music. While Joaquin endeavors to live up to his father’s name as the town’s greatest hero, and Maria contends with societal stereotypes.

These challenges lead them to grow apart and mature individually, each facing new hurdles in life. Yet, their dedication to what is right and their love for one another ultimately help them conquer such trials, reconnecting with love and closeness.

The lesson from Manolo, Joaquin, and Maria is that we should fight for what is right and strive for what is necessary. Each character demonstrates resilience in pursuing their goals and dreams, bravery in confronting difficulties, and a commitment to their values and loved ones.

They never stop fighting for what is right, even when it requires sacrifices in romance, friendship, and family. Their adversities showcase not only their strength and determination but also the importance of standing firm in one’s goals and values, no matter the obstacles. This illustrates the significance of dedication and staying true to our goals in life, allowing us the freedom to write our own stories.

In our lives, there is no retreat or surrender. Our lives may not be perfect, but our commitment, values, and the people around us who make us feel honored and loved give us the strength to endure life’s quandaries.

At the end of the day, true success lies not in avoiding the hardships, but in facing them head-on with courage, perseverance, and an unyielding spirit. By staying true to ourselves, we write our own stories, striving regardless for the chapters to come!

On this day, 127 years ago, the late Spanish Premier Antonio Canovas del Castillo was assassinated to avenge the ex*****on of Jose Rizal.

Italian Anarchist Michele Angine Golli fired the fatal shot that killed the Prime Minister of Spain. He confessed that the assassination was in retaliation for the Barcelona Anarchists and the ex*****on of Jose Rizal in Bagumbayan, Manila, eight months earlier.

Dr. Jose P. Rizal was imprisoned at the Montjuic Castle when he left Manila for Spain on September 2, 1896. Along with the Barcelona Anarchists, the harsh treatment of the Spanish Authorities may have opened the Montjuic prisoners to a mutiny against the Spanish Royal family.

On August 8, 1897, eight months after Rizal’s ex*****on, Canovas was shot dead by Golli. Angiolillo was later sentenced to death on August 20, 1897, by strangulation at the garrote.

“Huwag magalala, buhay ay ‘di karera.”
- from the song “Karera”, by BINI

BINI, the nation's girl group, inspires many with their music and empowering messages. In their song "Karera," they offer a profound piece of advice: "Huwag magalala, buhay ay 'di karera," which translates to "Don't worry, life is not a race." This quote encapsulates a powerful reminder that life should not be about rushing or comparing oneself to others, but rather about embracing one's unique journey and growth.

For students, especially Paulinians, this message holds significant relevance. Often, the pressures of academic performance, extracurricular achievements, and social expectations create a competitive environment that can be overwhelming. BINI’s words remind us that life is not about racing to the finish line but about taking the time to make thoughtful choices and decisions. Each student has their own pace and path, and it is essential to acknowledge that personal development and learning cannot be rushed. Instead of worrying about how quickly we achieve our goals, we should focus on the quality of our experiences and the lessons we learn along the way.

Understanding the concept that there is no competition in life except with oneself can alleviate much of the stress and anxiety we face. By reflecting on BINI’s message, students and our fellow Paulinians can realize that their primary goal should be self-improvement and personal fulfillment. This mindset fosters a healthier, more positive approach to education and life. Wherein we further acknowledge that at the end of the day, it’s about becoming the best version of ourselves, not about outpacing others as we journey towards fruitful adventures of the game called life.

Fear is something present in every corner of our life, it eats up our confidence, it whispers to us our insecurities, and makes us feel isolated from the rest of the world. Fear plants a seed of loneliness in a person’s heart.

But, what if we change our perspective? Are we truly alone? Do we really have no one to stay with by our side? The words written in the bible answer these questions. No, we are not alone, for we have Jesus Christ and the Lord. God has planted his own seed inside our heart, His will. The will to rejoice and spread happiness to those around us, the will to continuously pray no matter what time of day, and the will to be thankful and grateful for everything in this world. No matter how big or how small. It may seem such small actions, but as we continuously do these eventually we will truly feel the will of God and slowly feel Jesus Christ’s presence by our side. The fear that was built within our hearts would fade away, for we would no longer be afraid, we wouldn’t ever be truly alone, and we wouldn’t feel unprotected since both God and Jesus Christ are with us through the end of time.

The poignant romance drama "Me Before You" explores the nuanced connection between Louisa "Lou" Clark and Will Traynor.

Lou, a happy and eccentric young woman from a tiny English town, finds herself unintentionally fired from her work at a nearby café. Lou, who is in dire need of money to support her family, accepts a new position as a caretaker for Will Traynor, a prosperous and accomplished young man who was involved in a motorcycle accident two years prior and is now paralyzed from the neck down.

Will, who was previously gregarious and vibrant, is now resentful and reclusive as he struggles to accept his new situation as a quadriplegic.

Nevertheless, Lou is determined to have a positive influence on Will's life despite their differences. After learning about his love of travel, exploration, and better things in life, she decides to prove to him that despite his newfound circumstances, life is still worthwhile.

Lou takes Will on excursions, and gradually, he starts to reveal himself to Lou, and they form a strong emotional connection.

As their bond grows, Lou finds out that Will intends to take his own life in Switzerland with assisted su***de. She is devastated by this realization and decides to persuade him to reconsider by inspiring him to appreciate the little things in life.

The film explores the themes of love, sacrifice, and the ability to follow one's own path. Lou shows us throughout the film that kindness is essential, regardless of the situation or challenges we encounter.

Through their journey, Lou and Will teach us that embracing change and stepping out of our comfort zones can lead to personal growth and fulfillment. Their story reminds us to cherish every moment, appreciate the people in our lives, and strive to make the most of every opportunity that comes our way.
