Childish Views

Childish Views

In a world that gets older everyday, I begin to question myself: ‘How come children see the possibilities in every thing that grown-ups declare impossible?’

In this stage of self-exploration, I seem to seek myself as days pass by. I seem to live in this world with desperate clueless ness. Believing is sometimes juvenile and ignoring is often too cynical. The imaginative image of the world slowly fades into a map those geographers made.

As time defeats us, mysteries are washed out by the habitual ways of everyday life. Our views are often disparaging of the mysteries that the world holds; too afraid that faith might be false illusions and that absolute truth is the lie we strongly doubt. We tend to take life for granted for we don’t explore what is hidden beyond the picture.

Life can not be alive without ties that we treasure. As part of growing and along the experiences of everyday, we connect with people along the way and we establish friendship. I have been living with friends side by side; learning about life with peers and taking advices from friends of different ages. Ties are made through the bonds shared together, and treasured most when longed for.

I have been used living in that scene – going through everyday with them, too used that I will feel sadness when it is time for farewell. Tomorrow won’t feel the same because something special is missing. Longing is such a sweet sorrow for love is stronger within the heart than the eye.

Love is created through friendship, and friendship is developed from love. What comes first, we may not know, but the joy it offers the heart is immeasurable. Love drives us to be better persons. It is the heart that sees rightly. What we see may be the image we force our eyes to see, but through the heart, one can see rightly. The obdurate views that we have turn into colorful images of life, thus everyday won’t seem ordinary because of our enthusiasm of something new.

Friends are treasures for they complete me. I may not be me if it wasn’t for them. Four years in high school is lively, particularly because of my peers. We have been teaching and learning through each other for years. Soon, we have to bid each other goodbyes. May the bonds that connect us be stronger as the years pass by. Also, may our hearts lead us into the path of righteousness.

Through our innocent hearts, we see the world as a child, not letting time spoil our dreams into a world of impossibilities.

Jack-O-Fuel

Jack-O-Fuel

We will be joining Zonal Bio Competition that will be held on Thursday at Muñoz, Nueva Ecija. Our research study Jack-O-Fuel is an official entry.

TITLE: JACK-O-FUEL

The demand of fuel in our world, nowadays, seems to increase even more. People depend mainly in the production of the diesel, since its importance is widely used. But then, the effect of using these gases and the cost it offers to the people is unaffordable. Moreover, the pollution that comes from the use of the diesel, results to the continuous destruction of the environment. This study would help produce a biodiesel that is pollutant-free and affordable.

The purpose of this study is to test the utilization of the Jackfruit seeds as a raw material in the production of biodiesel.

The researcher prepared a 3.8 kg of ground Jackfruit seeds and was then mixed with 3 liters of hexane.

The oil was extracted using the Solid Liquid Extractor (Soxhlet). After getting the oil, it underwent Sterification, where the glycerin was removed, and the biodiesel separated.

The sample underwent a Gas Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry Testing. The components of the sample were tested and were compared with the compounds present in the NIST Library of the De La Salle University, Manila, Chemistry Department.

The outcome showed that the biodiesel from the Jackfruit seeds were effective as a source of biodiesel.

Junior-Senior Promenade

Junior - Senior Promenade

Prom was fun. I was wearing a Monique-like dress. It’s a Princess Hours thing. I loved the fact that it was held at El Centro, not at Triangle. Just imagine how it would be a bummer. Anyway, I missed the celebrity-at-Oscar’s feeling that I had last year. I felt like a celebrity last year when I walked down the vehicle. Honestly, I felt really sad when we received the message from Kuya Rhems that they couldn’t make it. I was expecting that hundred photos would be taken on that event. Well, I must enjoy my last Junior-Senior Promenade.

Couple of RS Students (Me, Vana, Chai, and Pat) had our makeover at the International Salon. I was irritated by the fact that I thought that I was going to be oh so late, that I didn’t hear anything from Gamewerkz, and not to mention the guy beside me na chumecheber. Bata pa po ako, kuya.

And I got there…

We stayed at the lounge area of El Centro. We waited for an hour before it started. We voted for prom royalties and even Mr. and Ms. Faculty.

Angelo was my partner at the grand entrance. Siya ung natapat e. According to the faculty members, mukha daw kaming magkagalit, because he wasn’t really escorting me. Sa pagkakaalam ko kasi, may pilay ung arm niya. Anyway, we seated at Table 7 – junanaks and Juts table.

Cotillion was alright too. I was really worried na baka madulas ako. The floor was very slippery and so was the dance floor. Good thing everything went alright.

After eating, top 5 Prom Princes, Princesses, Kings, and Queens was announced. I was one of the Prom Queens. Yey! =)

And then the dancing part…that I wish to keep to myself.
