Hindi ko alam kung bakit ko naisip ang asignaturang ito. Di ko rin alam kung anong pumasok sa aking utak at naisip ko si Jose Rizal. Lingid sa kaalaman ng marami, si Rizal ay isang Chickboy. Patawarin sana ako ni Rizal o ng kanyang mga magulang, Don Kikoy at Donya Lolay.

Noong ipinanood namin ang isang palabas na nag-uugnay sa buhay ni Rizal, nalaman namin na si Rizal ay naka-ikot na sa mundo. Nakaiinggit mang sabihin, pero iyon ang katotohanan. Sa bawat lugar na kanyang paroroonan, ay may mga babaing nagpatibok rin sa kanyang puso.

Sino ba namang hindi makakalimot sa kanyang unang pag-ibig na si Segunda Katigbak? Sa bokabularyo ng ingles iyon lamang ay isang 'puppy love'. O si Leonor Valezuela? Na pinadalhan nya ng mga sulat- at ang ginamit nya pang panulat ay isang 'invisible ink'(iyong nauuso na ngayon) para silang dalawa lamang ang makababasa! Tindi ah.

Ngunit, isang Leonor parin ang inibig nya, at mas matindi 'toh, dahil pinsang buo nya. Si Leonor Rivera, inibig nya ng labing isang taon. Alam nyo bang si Leonor Rivera ang modelo ni Rizal para mabuo nya ang katauhang si Maria Clara? Magpinsan pa, mag-nobyo't nobya pa.

Si Consuelo Ortega ang sumunod kay Leonor Rivera, at dumating rin si O Sei San. Isang Haponesa, maganda, sa aking pagkakakita sa kanyang litrato. Kamukha nya si Zhang Zhi yi kung pagbabasehan sa kasalukuyang panahon.

Sinundan pa ito niGertrude Beckett na taga-London. Si Nellie Boustead taga-Europa rin, na niligawan rin ni Antonio Luna at sila'y nagduwelo pa dahil sa babaeng ito. Suzanne Jacoby na taga-Brussels at isa pang Suzanne, Suzanne Jacoby na di ko na masundan kung san nagnggaling, dahil sa dinami-daming babae.

At ang suwerteng si Josephine Bracken, isang Ingles na napangasawa ni Rizal.

Ayan, at naitala ko rin ang kanyang mga babae, mga 'chicks' sa modernong tawag. Aking naisip na puwede palang maging bayani ang isang 'ladies' man'. Naisip ko ri na ka-level ni Rizal sina Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise o Jude Law.

Mabuhay si Jose Rizal, ang pambansang Chickboy! :))

Side by side, Marisian Pride

With my last year of attending DACS(Davao Association of Colleges and Schools) Sportsfest, I think it's about time I show some school pride. And Hell I did!

I think that it's like a UAAP-Davao version. Where players get to display their school seals and parade it with their pride. I'm so glad that I was able to shout, cheer for our school for the last time. Whatever the contest, or game, I ought to pay respect. I'm just thankful that I was able to see the presentations (Cheerdance, Modern, Singing competitions, Neo-Ethno).

For Cheerdance competition, eventhough I wasn't really 'Wow-ed' by their performance, I was 'wow-ed' with their efforts. I also think that Sir Edmar, did a great job- being a geometry teacher and an instructor? Hmm... Not bad, eh? The dancers did their best, 2nd runner-up is not that bad.

For Modern Dance, this time, I was really 'Woowww-ed!' It was fantastic. It wasn't boring and I love the choreography. They garnered the 1st place, Champion! They were truly amazing, and not to mention, the crowd loved them! I knew that before the announcement of winners, they had a hunch of who's gonna be this year's champion. I know so.

For the singing competitions, Wala rin akong masabi. They've done well. Karla and Kelvin were cute couples as they sang, "My Destiny"- They garnered 2nd runner-up.

For the Neo-Ethno, we were about to be named the 'defending champions'. Here's the thing: 1st Judge, ranked us Champions. Second Judge, Ranked us champions. Then here comes the third judge, who ranked us, 5th- far from the decision of the two other judges. Oh well, I still think that they are champions.

For other games, like basketball... I think I cheered my heart out. Really. That makes me proud to be a Marisian. Hail, Star of the Sea! :))
