Just Passing Through

Delivered by my niece during the Recognition Program of Bacarra National Comprehensive High School (BNCHS) on April 1, 2019, the same day when she knew she passed the college admission test to where she is currently studying engineering. Because she was and has always been lazy (ha ha), she let me write this speech. ****************************************** “Wake me up and tell me I am not dreaming!” “I said, wake me up and tell me I am not dreaming!”   These came from the mouth of a small boy who showed an early interest in flights and airplanes. Before he went to sleep one night, he was joyful in singing with his mom and dad. It might have been “Twinkle, twinkle little star!” He may have been wondered what stars are! Then they had their bed story. And then he fell asleep. Later that morning, he yelled, “Mom, wake me up! Tell me I am not dreaming!” When he was asked, he mentioned with excitement about his dreams. He dreamed that he walks in the moon. Years later, he b...

  (I shared this text to someone and I am inspired to put on here, in hopes that it can encourage also somebody.) Study for life, not for grades. When the time comes that you do not hit your aim to have excellent grades, remember that passing or conditional or even failing grades is a norm in Engineering school. Be strong and have a good courage. Extreme pressures come along. And when failure comes, take in mind and in heart that failure is a not a person. Failure is just an event. Most often, a series of events. Enjoy to endure and endure to enjoy. Engineering is enduring and enjoying. (The half has not yet been told in all engineering Fb pages or vlog contents. Discover the wonders for yourself.) Look for seniors or upper class  men whom you can look up to and listen to them. When you do, you will also have a story to tell to younger than you someday. If you cannot find good kuyas and ates , be the trailblazer. Expect the worst but hope for the best! When we say h...

Heritage are also family’s tradition, values, wisdom, principles, and formed experiences that are not static but revolves over time ." This poem is inspired by 1 Thessalonians 1:3.

Piping saksi po ito ng nakaraan, Tanglaw ng pamana sa kinabukasan.   Kung makakapagsalita lamang ang bagay na ito, Tiyak kong marami din itong maikukuwento, Kuwentong dapat mong marinig - Pananampalataya, pag-asa, at pag-ibig.   Hindi lamang ito pangkaraniwang padyak. Sa Diyos ipinalangin at kaniyang iniyak, Kaligtasan ng kapwa inibig niyang matiyak Pati anghel sa langit, labis ang galak!   Ito ang lumang bisikleta ni Ptr.Jhune Cadeliña, Katuwang niya nang HBBC ay nagsimula. Kayamanang maituturing noon pang dekada otsenta, Piping saksi sa maraming kuwentong biyaya.   Walang patid kong ...
