education-slash-poverty



i watched tv patrol awhile ago and learned that 16 million filipinos are school drop outs.which makes the philippines with one of the highest school drop outs in asia.tsk tsk.ive also learned that 40% of which are grade 6 students who do not continue their education until high school.and 50% of which dropped out even before graduating high school.interesting huh?!.but also disappointing.this is even worse than i thought.i knew that a lot of filipinos do not go to school or finish it because of poverty.but i didnt know that it would reach 16 million.wow.in grade 7, we researched about the literacy rate of different countries.philippines then had a 95% literacy rate.i admit that i was shocked when i found out about this.didnt know we had a high literacy rate.it was actually the same with US'.but that was 3 years ago.id bet that it got lower.=/.oh gosh, imagine what would happen to this country 10 years from now.education is an essential step in order to have a good future.not to mention what rizal once said, ang kabataan ang pag-asa ng bayan.now, is it still possible?!.it is, if we decide to help make a change.we can help stop poverty.and by this, we can help other people have education.we can change the future into a better one.=).the little things that we do count.so lets help save the future of our children and our children's children and so on and so forth.you can start helping by going to these sites: www.makepovertyhistory.org and www.one.org.=).c'mon show your love.=).we can make it happen!.=)

section division

oh no.our class might just be divided into two sections now.there are a lot of incoming junior students daw.noooooo!!!.tssss.they cant do that.not until we reacgh 41.which i hope does not happen.argh.if ever that happens--no.that wont happen.never.=/.i dont like us to be separated.tsk.im gonna kill them.just kiddin'!.haha.just hoping we dont reach 41.=).hihi.

poetry

i was writing poems awhile ago.wala lang.past time.=).ehehe.not everyone knows that i write poems.=).hidden talent ba?!.ahaha.anyway, here's one i made.=)

Hallucinations

i am a dreamer
and i love fairytales
often i dream
that i am a princess
and you are my prince
we live in a castle
happily ever after
but the more i dream
or should i say, hallucinate?
the more it hurts
knowing that this fantasy
will remain as it is
never to come true
it dawns on me that this is reality
you and i can never be
but still i want my happy ending
and i know its not with you
the more it clears,
the more i got to let you go
and though it pained me, this is what i did
i was brave enough
to let you fly away and set you free
thinking this would be best for you and me
i was wrong because deep inside i know
its still you i long for
seeing you now
i wish i never had enough courage
to let go of you
coz when you left, you took my heart with you.


wala lang.ahaha.=)
