Assets and Liabilities

Pacing towards the door of the Silliman Hall, I saw my

co-CWTS members. I saw an environment of noisy people.

Negative? Isnt it? This is a liability that one should change.

The way how the scene worked and went made me realize

that having the initiative to do the right thing should be

done. So I went to my chair, sat down, and kept my mouth

shut.

When a bud develops and becomes a rose, a perfect

example of a magnificent scene. A colorful picture to

imagine, this is an asset. The most positive values we

commit and share to the world. Why am I talking about

assets and liabilities? Well, what I have learned from this

sessions activity is that I should have more assets than my

liabilities and exert more effort to lesson or deplete my

liabilities. A persons positive asset can be determined not

by the first impression, but by seeing and witnessing him as

a person. We cant judge a person who we do not know. We


2/13

cant just make friends directly without saying a friendly

greet like hello. Have the asset to make a brighter world a

brighter future.

To end this reflection, all I ever wanted to say is that a

person is not perfect. He may commit the worst mistakes but

with a perfect attitude, he can be 100% sure to succeed

his/her dreams and goals.

Coastal/Sidewalk Clean Up

Our environmentdestroyed, battered, polluted. What

are the people doing? How much pain do we have to give to

our beloved Mother Earth? Arent you sad to see

malnourished children passing by the streets that were

affected by our wrong doings? Havent you seen the dead

marine life slowly drifting away, going with the flow of

current of the sea? Humans, arent you fair enough?

A bright sunny day on the 17th of September, 2011 and

we were assigned to clean/pick-up the trash scattered from

Looc. All I could see are trashes, people and more trashes!


3/13

Whats going on here? Were too irresponsible! Trash bags

open! There you go I picked and picked and slowly, the

trashes went from 100% to 75% well disposed to 60%.

With hands of an angel and teamwork done by me and my

group mates, I knew we could do it! We could change the

earth for I believe that the smallest things done can make a

big difference.

Finally, I could see the sun rays illuminating, reflecting

the trash bag. About 85kg of trash collected! We also did an

activity that deals our critical minds to work. And I quote and

quote, A cleaner environment, a safer world.

9 DOTS

Have you ever tried thinking beyond the box? Or being

open-minded to solve something? Like a line, we stay

connected and go beyond to the ends of no ending. The

reason of connecting is due to the external and internal


4/13

forces that make a hard work easy. Connecting without a

pause, going over the dreams we wish to take. Critical

thinking and being imaginative, we can grab anythingour

dreams, our hopes, our future.

9 dots Havent heard of this before? Well, It was a

fine Saturday where we were assigned to do an activity

called 9 dots. To be honest, I already knew that game. So I

went to the stage, showed Dr. Elman the process and waited

for my other CWTS members to accomplish the activity. I

learned the activity from a friend. At first, it was really hard

to solve. But after thinking outside the box, I really made it. I

accomplished the activity.

Realization is that we should not only stay on what we

only can do but pave way for criticisms that help us more to

grow and develop into a fine citizen. Patience and critical

thinking is all we need to think beyond what is given. For

there is that song entitled, No Boundaries every step we

climb another mountain, every breath is harder to believe

There are no boundaries!

KABSI

Sucked in by the marvelous entrance, what a wonderful

way to start a show! From the Echos to the voice of a

songbird, KABSI was superbly amazing!

I sat down on the left side of the Luce Auditorium facing

the stage. I relaxed myself as I felt the peer pressure of a

relaxing atmosphere inside the auditorium. The shows

theme was about the life of a Sillimanian. From the Miss

Silliman to the way of life in a dorm to P.E. classes, to the

pastoral services, it really showed how a true Sillimanian

acts and interacts with other people.

It was a show of laughter and learning and somewhat

like a compilation of my favorite comedy films. What I

learned from the show is that every person is unique in

his/her own ways. No matter how he/she changes herself, we

are all equal in the eyes of God.

A true Sillimanian, I am. I follow what the vision and

mission states. From the white sands to the palm trees, Oh

loyal we will be to Silliman! As a first year college student, I


6/13

should be proud of where I am taught and developed. From

the show of KABSI to the realization of applying it, I know I

can be a true blooded Sillimanian!

Drug Education

Was it more painful than here? Whispers I hear

whispers! Oh no, is this a drug? Am I an addict? Yes, in fact,

it was drugs over me. Can you hear those whispers? Help

me! Help me!

Drug addicts! Have you seen them on television? Have

you noticed there faces shift from their gorgeous before to

their deformed after? Like the witch in Snow White, from a

beautiful queen into an old hag! Do you want to have those

weird faces?

Drugs are really a murderer, a rapist and a thief to

someones life! We should get high on our life and not on

drugs. For we remember how we walked and were raised


7/13

explicitly well by our parents, we should never try drugs.

They can only cause chaos to the community. Be a model,

say NO to DRUGS! These can only lead you to addiction to

more addiction and to death!

What I learned from the lecture of Drug Education is

that as a student, I should ignore drug pushers and sellers. I

should try to make a big difference. I should find hope and

security in order to change the world. Well, everybody just

wants to get high, but do you want to get high on DRUGS or

high on LIFE? The answers in your hands!

Ballet Philippines Presents Crisostomo Ibarra

Can you remember those stories we had learned and

acted out during our 3rd year to 4th year days? Especially

those stories of bravery and wisdom, like the Noli Me

Tangere and El Filibusterismo. Well, to be honest, we have

seen these novels of Rizal being dramatized on stage. But,

have you ever wondered and imagined on a different way to

portray it to the audience?


8/13

Heres the answer! The Ballet Philippines presented

Crisostomo Ibarra. The graceful and magnificent ballet

dances paved wave to the crowds applause. A wonderful

and an explicit show it is! From the different flips and turns

to the stylish bends made the show extravagant!

What I learned from the show is that no matter how

great a show is, without the audience, a show can never go

on. I also learned the story of Crisostomo Ibarra, the Spanish

civilization and about Maria Clara. To their Filipiniana attires,

a perfect color combination, totally explicit!

Angelo Rondellos Piano Concert

Pressing the key, making a melodious tune, Angelo

Rondello could never have been better. A piano concert it is.

I could see how his audience focused on how he played


9/13

those galactic symphonies. The piece that made me amaze

him was the Moonlight Sonata. He really plays the piano

good!

To be a good pianist needs determination and practice.

Like a famous singer, you must need a voice of an angel.

Like a guitarist, you must have a sense of strums in your

heart.

Angelo Rondellos limited tutorials were fantastic and

are straight forwardly to the point. How I wished I could play

the piano that good! Music can never be taken away by

people. Music is already a part of life. With music, we are

bound to express our emotions more.

Be serenaded and be drowned into the abyss of music!

Let music take you to a different world. From the world of

music, a representative in the person of Angelo Rondalla,

may he bring forth and share his talent to the world! Cheers!

And for his last piece, I salute him! It was a magnificent

standing ovation!

Hayag at 50

Strike a pose! Land to the ground and feel the stage

presence! Leap for your dreams, resist and balance! Be

amazed and let the dancing take you to an another world!

It was late at night when I went to the Luce Auditorium.

The event there was Hayag at 50. From the Filipiniana attires

worn by the Kahayag dancers to the brilliant lightings of the

stagethe show was perfect! An emotional dance was

presented last. It really brought out a striking point within

me. That dance with the corresponding background music

made me realize that a dance can really show how you feel.

I knew that there were new members of the Kahayag

Dance Troupe on that night. They really reached their

dreams. I could sense their pride through their brilliant

smiles. It was really a perfect show!

What I learned from the show is that our dreams hit like

a car crash, and cant be reversed. We cant forfeit now, but

to go on, and move on! Dreaming is better than being on the


11/13

streets taking illegal drugs or smoking weeds behind narrow

ways. Let the show inspire you, may it be a guide to

achieving your dreams!

LOGA

Have you ever felt that soothing feeling when you hear

the strumming of the strings of a classical guitar? Have you

ever wondered why we feel like this way? Have you ever

been into a world of acoustics that you are now addicted to it

and that you can not return or throw it away? Well, as a

guitarist, I felt all of these.

I started out playing the guitar when I was 2nd year high

school. I really love plucking. It is really pleasing to my ears.

Seeing LOGA, I was inspired by the young guitarists, on how

they amazingly brought out the plucking sounds

accompanied by the amazing strumming.

Music has been a part of me already. Like those young

guitarists, I also practiced in order to be consistent on how


12/13

my fingers go gracefully fast on plucking a string. I really

appreciated the Tango piece. I was once a Tango dancer

before, and I really appreciated it. Seeing those young

fellows perform with pride, I know I, too, can be like them.

Not physically, but on how they develop themselves to

become great performers.

SPIT

Laughter has always been the best medicine.

I was really amazed by the impromptu dialogues

foretold by the SPIT members. They were funny comedians!

Never to think, they really did a good job bringing out

laughter and smiles to the audience through their games

and jokes!

The best part was the three-headed oracle, giving

random advices to some people in the audience.I really


13/13

laughed from start to finish. It was really clear that the show

went well.

I also laughed during the Magic Chalk story! They

kept repeating and repeating until they were done! From

their silly acts to their random speeches, great and well

done! I couldnt ask for more!

What I learned from the show is that if you dig and dig,

you will never find a magic chalk. And kung magtataniong

ka man kung sino ang true love mo e wala kang true love!

Bahala ka na! Also, next to Jollibee is Jolli-C! What a fun and

amazing show! I hope SPIT would come back again bringing

more laughter and giggles to their audiences!
