My Elementary Years

Elementary years had ended yet our memories cherished to each one of us who became part of it. More than 32 students graduated at SDS SPED School Center. A school for primary education. It was a place filled with happiness.

The loud, crowded room was filled with laughter. The long bonding with our teachers and classmates. All those, had just been blown by the wind. Oh! How we wish we could recall all those memories we've spent together.

And the final day has come. Though we felt sad that we'll leave our school. Still we have learned and gained friends and most especially we created a memory that will last forever.

New Chapter

Life begins with a friend. In my new life, I had many new friends. We've spent a lot of time together. Sharing happiness, love, and sometimes sadness. Let me introduce to you my new friends.

Summer days were over and school was about to open. It was nearly June 1, 2009 when the first day of school started. Our first impressions to everybody is very shy, innocent, and very silent. Well, ofcourse it is because we've not yet met anybody.

But when we knew each and every student in I-Fleming. We named ourselves Flemingnianz. We were a group of loud, talkative, and ofcourse caused a lot of headaches to our dear 2nd moms and dads.

In our family in fleming we were composed of 24 girls and 9 boys. But even if the number of boys is very small, they're still more louder than us girls. And in my opinion, I think they're not real boys. They're gays!

Now, you've met my dear new friends. The new chapter of my life starts with a new friend.

The Miracle of Friendship

There is a Miracle

Called Friendship
That dwells within the heart
And you don't know
How it happens
Or when it even starts

But the happiness it brings you
Always gives a special lift
And you realize that
Friendship is God's most precious gift

Camp Bataan '09

Camp Bataan has ended yet the memories lives on to each one of us who became part of it. More than seven hundred people. attended the five - day event to learn more about the environment and as the days unfold not only learnings were earned but also friendship and camaraderie.

On the first and second day, we engaged in a series of lectures and workshops that opened our eyes on the latest state of of the environment and how humans contributed to the global climate change. We also learned more on biodiversity, alternative energy and natural resources and how humans can still make a difference to save the Earth. The camp was graced by distinguished speakers who fascinated us.

The fourth day marks the very important event in the history of PSYSC. During the field trip, we adopted baby pawikans in Morong, Bataan and released them to the sea. The event was a significant representation to each of us who commit to protect the endangered species. We also visited the Aeta community in Subic and were shown basic jungle survival skills.

And the final night has come. Though we felt sad that we'll leave the camp we are equally happy for sharing the short days with everyone. We have learned and gained friends and most especially we created a memory that will last forever. And even if we miss each other, we shall not forget this line - "Long as you are in my heart, we'll never say goodbye".

My Ambition in Life

What a man is today, and what he wants to be tomorrow, is in fact, - the ambition. This is a journey of desires which starts from "today" and aims at to reach "tomorrow". Every person has its own ambition or goals in their life to achieve it. Well, if you ask what's mine? I'll tell you what.

It started at the age of seven. I have a friend who was hospitalized because of UTI. She felt that nobody cares for her anymore. The doctor's can't cure her illness because they can't afford the billings. That's the time I've been persuaded to choose the field of becoming a nurse. This time, I will help those people who are in need. Not only those who have money to pay - but also those who have none. I want to learn more about heath care responsibility for the treatment, safety, and recovery of injured people.

I also dreamt of travelling around the world. I wanted to see different people, earn more friends, see different sights, and do different things. And also to express so many common needs and feelings.

To achieve these goals of mine - I have to finish first my studies. And try hard to become successful someday.

La Familia

As we've all known a family is a small society of people, which is composed mainly of a mother, father and its siblings. We cannot choose our family it's GOD's most precious gift to us. Now let me share a short composition of mine about my dearest family.

It started last January 6, 1994. That was the day when my older brother was born, which is also the time they've been called as a family.

My mother, Ana Geran V. Millan took her first breath last May 11, 1964. With her loving mother and father, Angela Prado and Geronimo Valenton - which had already been divorced. My mother is currently working as a Secondary teacher at Jacinto P. Elpa National High School. She'd been a great wife to tatay and also been a good mother to us.

Next up is my father, Adelardo S. Millan - named by his parents, Paterna S. Millan and Mauro Millan. His father already died. Still that stumbling block of his' did not force him to stop learning but made as his inspiration and now he's a good principal in Tago Purisima National High School and a caring father to his three siblings.

After them is their ducklings. The first duckling is my older brother, Maurice Gerome V. Millan. He'd been living in this myterious world for about 15 years which had been currently studying at JPENHS. Well ofcourse he's a concerned brother to his other ducklings.

Followed after two years, is me - Queenie Anne V. Millan (hello). I'm still a girl with a lot of dreams. And I'm learning in a huge school called JPENHS. Ofcourse I'm a girl with an attitude.

Then another duckling is born last June 25, 1998 - Jo anne V. Millan. She's kinda pasaway girl. Which is a freakout student of Tandag Pilot Elementary School. She's a girl with stuffy things.

Lastly, my other family - my friends. We've spent a lot of time together. We knew were not connected by blood. But there's always a place for them in my heart and in my family as a part of it.

Class Reunion

Class reunions can be nerve-racking but usually end up exhilarating – renewing friendships, sharing memories of the days when we were "young and innocent."
This was one reunion we couldn't miss. Sure it would be great to see classmates again after so many months; but a reunion in Gold bar, Tandag City was almost providential. A calling to discover part of the city we hadn't seen while finding roots to the old world. Getting us all together was most important.

The long, crowded room was filled with friendship, laughter, good cheer and fond memories as gray-headed, thick-waisted men and women reached back to recall only good moments and buoyant times when we groped together toward adulthood.
