Will Somebody Ever Tell Me by Raysha

Being a little girl is over and here I am now, being a teenager. The truth is always hurting me. The truth is teling me that I am one of those teenagers who belong to the age of puberty wherein I am not considered a child anymore, but neither as an adult. Just like me, I just don't know where I stand now. I can't understand the things that are happening to me now especially my moody attitude. I don't know what will I do to my life. I am confuse.

Will somebody ever tell me? Will somebody ever tell me that things are different now? That nothing is left to stay but the memories of the past, the childhood? I am a teenager and I know nothing, but I wonder why and ask the why's and hows of life. I just don'tknow where I am right nnow. I am not a child anymore and yet, I am not old enough to understand things that have to be explained. Do you think there's anybody who will tell me what to do?

It is wonderful to be a teenager. A teenager who is living a glamorous life, having wonderul time with his/her friends. A very carefree person who never gives a damn about what other people might think. A person who does whatever he/she wants to do without thinking the others. Why do people can't understand us? Why don't they give us chance to show them what is inside our laughters?

I must admit. I know what happiness is and I know how to be in it. I can laugh easily and I am sure, I am a vey outgoing person, but that doesn't mean that I have no questions with my life and it doesn't mean that Iam not encountering problems like other people. You see, you just can't blame me. My life seems so empty. Yeah! I can feel much emptiness. I can feel that sometihng is missing with my life.
Will somebody ever tell me? Will somebody ever tell me what are the exact answers to my questions, the things that are missing in my life? Can I express what I really feel?

The pains of wanting won't go unless the realization of dream comes, dreams of being our true selves. Dreams of being old enough to understand the hows and why's of life. I know that this time will come to my life and I know that if that time comes, the answers to my question will also be answered. I bet you!

Achieving Great Success by Mizty

All of us want to be successful someday. To reach our goals, to pursue our dreams. But what does success really mean? Why is it that when talking about being successful, all of us don't want to be left behind. It’s like a daily issue in the news that we always watch and hear. It’s like a very serious issue that never dies and needs to be pay attention. Why is very important and the point is how to achieve it.

Success is not new to us anymore. We always hear about it, talk about it, and sometimes it is also the main topic of the most television shows. And on most television shows that talks about success, some TV personality we know who shares their experience on how they become successful. Most of them have interesting from rags to richest. Like those great personality, we too would like to be as successful as they are today. The question is how do we do it?

We are not innocent anymore, that's why when talking about success, we should know or maybe have a little knowledge about it. Success is not that easy to achieve nowadays. Especially to those person who are greatly affected by poverty. But poverty is not a hindrance to reaching out our goals in life. if your real objective is to be a successful person someday, you just have to set your mind straight to those objectives. We should not mind the problems that come along the way. Whenever we encounter problems, we should face them and never give up. They are just challenges that help us to become a stronger person. They serve as our guide. In reaching out success, we should also be patient. On our way to success, not every time there will be smooth road; there is always part of it where we have to face obstacles. If we fall once, we have to stand up and be strong. Never say die. Success always comes along with hard work. If you try your best and strive for excellence, success will never be too far from you. We should also be optimistic. Always look on the brighter side of everything. Think positive. And of course we should never forget to look back when success is already on our hands.

Success is not as easy as we see it. But no matter how hard it is to achieve, we should take every risk and don't give up. If our mind is focused on to reaching our goals, success will never be hard as it seems. And the last thing is never forget that God is always there guiding us.

Bomberman and The Game of Life by thought_of_me

Bomberman is an amazing robot that hopes to be free hos life at an underground bomb factory. Consumed by the possibility of leaving his world an d becoming a human, he planned to escape to the surface. But there are other bomb-making robots that are aware of Bomberman's plan, and set theis forces to stop his journey.

Armed with only bombs and determination, Bomberman set out against the evil forces. He needs to find his way out through a maze while avoiding enemies. He must destroy the rocks with his bomb to find doors that will lead him to further maze rooms. Items such as more bombs and fire that provides him with maximum power can be found there. Jackets that will make him invincible to flame and enemies are also hidden under rocks. There are also items that will let him slip past soft blocks, and items that will increase his movement speed. But the most amazing thing he can find is the control power which he can choose when to blast his bombs. The more items that he can find, the bigger will be the possibility that he can destroy his enemies and find his way out.

That could be our game of life as humans. The only difference that we have from Bomberman is that we don't play our game hoping to be humans, instead, we play our game to become powerful humans. We were all born helpless. The only thing that we have-is life. We were not even given a security that we will live long. But one thing is certain-we will play our game. Just like Bomberman, we dream, we hope, and we believe that we are not to stay trapped and helpless forever. We start our game by depending on the food and care that our parents are giving us to make us strong and help us survive. As we get stronger, we start to destroy the rocks of their rules and try to be independent.. When we find out that there are a lot of things to be found under rocks, we don't wait for our parents to open them for us; we break them.As we discover that there's more to life than our parents feeding us, we leave them and live a life of our own. We begin to dream for ourselves. We hope to be better, and we believe that we can be powerful. But along the way, we will find out that there are people that we either need to avoid or destroy. They are the enemies. They will be staying along our way and will try to stop us from our journey to success. We're not going to be hypocrites, are we? We need to really destroy them if we cannot avoid them along our ways. Then as we go through our journey, as we destroy the rocks in the maze of our game, we will find out surprisingly good things in life. We will be able to find friends that will give us additional strength for they will fight with us. There will also be some people under rocks that we can find who will support and give us protection. Others we will find hidden beneath the rocks who will provide better access to the dreams we believe in. Some of them are just waiting under rocks and as we find them, they will come along the way with us and will help us increase our movement speed to reaching our goals in life. But we should remember that we don't really need all the power in the world to fulfill the dreams that we have. Furthermore, we need to know that not all people that we will be encountering could be helpful in achieving our dreams in life. Sometimes, if not all the time, other people would come along your way to pull you down rather than to push you up.

Too much power can cause Bomberman's life, and so our lives. We must realize that the moment we have used all the powers that we have, in case all the friends and people that we have found along our way got tired and have lost their will to help us for some reasons, we will have no choice but to go back to our parents, to our original world, like how Bomberman will stay to the underground bomb factory because his enemies won't stop blocking his way out. We humans were given a wonderful life with just enough power and that's how we must stay until we die. We must realize that the only one who remains humble and generous despite of too much and unfailing power is our Creator. So let's not crave for too much power because it's not the only way we can live a successful and happy life. Let us be very patient and just work hard for the dreams we believe in. Let's play our game slowly but surely. Choose the right persons that we will take along with our journey, like Bomberman should choose what items to carry with him on his way out to the surface that will help him become human eventually.

The first event was banner making contest.

Hurray for the Gothic team, the first group of language athletes who sent their banner’s picture.

We are the so-called goths of the new generation. We've got a gothic language. We've got a gothic style. Like the old goths who overpowered the the Roman Empire in the 3rd and 4th centuries A.D., we will overun our enemies. We're no easy. We're always game. We're here to play fair. Remember us for we'll be on top! We're goths... And we are called The Gothics. Gothics for all!
