Photography is the perfect companion to travel. It encourages us - as travelers - to discover an area; it provides tangible memories of the trip; and it is an enjoyable way to express ourselves in art. A camera is really an excuse to delve deeper into a place than we otherwise would. Looking for a good shot forces us to seek out the unique features and scenic beauty of a location, to explore further, and to interact with our surroundings. When you press the shutter release, you're making a personal connection to the place and it's people. You are there. Photographs preserve the memories of our trip. We can show others the exciting places we've been, the wonderful scenery, and the great people we met. Our minds are triggered by images and reviewing our photographs helps everyone on the trip relive its adventures and misadventures. Taking pictures is also a very accessible artform. With a little thought and effort you can create captivating images of your own creation and interpretation.

The Secret of Photography

Fortunately, taking good photographs has little to do with owning expensive equipment and knowing technical data. The secret is in seeing. Ask yourself: What do I look at, and how do I see it? A good photograph has qualities that display the skill, art, interests, and personality of the photographer.

The recipe for a good photograph is:
"A foreground, a background, and nothing else."

MARCHING MARCH!!

March 25, 2009 is the most awaited day for us graduating students of school year 2008-2009. Me and my fellow classmates will going to receive our awards. It is our price for doing well in for years in high school. It is our trophy in over coming all the trails and obstacles we have faced. Our braveness and willingness brought us to our dream and I know this is our stepping stone to success. Thus, our oneness together with strong faith in God inspires us to continue everything and never say I give up.

They say high school is the most memorable stage in our life. It is the moment of discovering new things and everything here is first. First circle of friends where you learn to drink and have jamming with them. You will also feel the first love and first heart ache because you’ve been so blind to a guy who is never deserve to be love like that. You will also experience the first time to sleep late because of the requirements which to be pass right away. Lastly first time to say,” Sige lang bai. Kaya ra nato ni. Walay biyaay huh?” so, these memories will forever stay in our hearts and surely we will going to miss everything in college.

In this institution lots of changes were done to us. The lessons we’ve gathered are for our good. These one strengthens our bonding with my classmates and we were able to know each other more. In high school we are tested how to dwell all the obstacles and not to give up. We also found here friends, enemies, and special someone who accompanied us in making all the memories. The school helped us realized how beautiful life that has given to us by God. Therefore, the four year of suffering pains and happiness at last in a very special day all of it will be over and we will receive the fruit of our hard work.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING PART OF MY HIGH SCHOOL. I WILL NOT FORGET YOU.

The most painful thing in a love life is how to move on after a break up. Letting go your loved one is like your pushing away your happiness. The next thing to follow is the unusual behaviour that you will show to the public.you want to smile as wide as you can but you really can't hide the pain inside. Forgetting him and what just happened is not that easy and may change your personality.

He just broke my heart and wasted my trust foe him. I thought he was different to the other guys and wouldn't do the same thing but I was wrong. He took away my sweet belief about love living me depressed and traumatized. And now I am scared and confused if I can over come this sickness or other wise I will be insane. I want to forget him because a broken heart never really heals.

How can I move on if it's his face I see every time I close my eyes? Getting away from him adds the pain in my heart. Despite from the scars that he had made I want to be with him. See how difficult to move on especially if you can't accept that both of you are over. Your mind starts to confuse because forgetting him starts the feeling of missing him.

"You and Me against the World"

Love is like you are ridding on a car. It is fun when there is someone with you enjoying the road. Sometimes it is fast and sometimes it is just steady. You must be sure where you are going . You must decide wisely which way to pass. It is sometimes cruel because it might lead you to bump another car. And the worst thing there is you might destined to a dead end.
A teenage love is part of growing up.it is dangerous but most of them enjoys it hidding behind their parent's shadows. Having a relationship while young is strickly forbiden. A wrisky sacrifices that makes us feel depress. Some of us may not have the same experience but as we continue it , the consequences are getting harder. Young love is not new to us, we learned to say “you and I against the world”.
As our parents continue to steal our happiness we egerly fight for it. Though this is wrong, we want to prove to them that love is powerfull and no one could stop what might it done. Possible we might end up hangging at the end, as long as we did what we feel inside. Love that prevails in us, made us feel that we are important to someone in this world. Young love, lets continue as long as we know which rute we are going to.

IT'S QUITE NEW!

It’s been a tradition to all senior students in St. Mary’s Academy to serve as catechist. It’s a mission to be done with all our hearts and as a sacrifice offered to God. We share and teach to the children what we learned from our lessons about Jesus since first year. Perhaps all of us are new to this, we will try our best to enable the children understand more about Him. So, as one of the chosen disciples, I will commend my life in my service to God.
It’s been three months we’re teaching to the children. My unique experience with them is that they are so gentle. I have learned to love them like my younger brothers and sisters though we meet once a week. Through our conversations they learned out from it and I also learned something out from them. It is a wonderful opportunity given to us, a pleasure that as early as our age we touched the hearts of our students and surely they will not forget us.
Today, I could say that I am proud to myself. It’s my first time to be a teacher and to be treated as a teacher. I am inspired by my teacher in C.L because she said that if you teach them a very significant thing, they will never forget you. Teaching is very tiring but if you love it, happiness will stay in your heart. So, I will take this time to teach as well as service to God because this is once in a life time experience.

KINABUHING ESTUDYANTE PAGKA-KAPUYA!

I can’t believe that time is so fast and now I’m already off to graduate. I can still remember the time I first step in this school when I was a freshman. I did not notice that I’m growing so fast and still I can’t understand my attitude. I can sometimes feel that I’m having a childlike attitude which does not fit to my age right now. Thus, I’m such an insensitive person, later I can’t realize I’m already in the stage getting my diploma.
Being a senior of this institution, I find it so challenging. As I grow old my problems that I encounter are getting heavier. When the summer has ended I already settled my mind to be real and more serious to my studies. As one the graduating students I must work hard because my future depends on it. Therefore, though it is still two months of being a fourth year, I can conclude that this is the most tiring step in life
The said that high school life is the most unforgettable life time experience. In first year, you still adopted the attitude of being a grade-schooler. As you go on, you can encounter different moments that will sure mold yourself especially the attitude. As my last year of being a Marian student, I will make sure that everyday will be special. So take time to realize on spending your time because it will never come back.
