And because I have a big problem I doesnt think what would be the consequences of what am gonna do. I do get drunk. When some of my friends decided to stop I and one of my friend challenge each other (but i cant remember who won). And then we take some time to cool our self but they say I am crying out loud with my friends.
Way back to our house I do smell alcohol so I acted one not drunked. Perfectly acted and they didnt noticed it. I just straightly go to my room to get some sleep. And the next morning they said why am I that sleepy when I got home? What did I do and where did I went? I tell them the truth and they reacted on it. As usuall to our parents do. They told me that its bad for me so I better not do it again.

The Most Challenging Thing I have ever Accomplished
A group of my cousins planned to go to Mt. Makulot, located at Cuenca, Batangas. That was during the Lenten Season. I really want climbing and camping activies so I decided to join them. As the days pass by and that day seems o so near. I am imagining my self climbing at that mountain with no worries and all I am thinking is to be at the peak of that mountain seeing all the beautiful sceneries, to take some photos of mine, and imaging that I would be able to find our house on that high. Even once I never think of mountain climbing would be too hard.
The days that I've been waitng for had finally came. Actually before the sun sets I doesn't have any sleep. Am surely that excited. As we go to our destination we were seing so many people walking going to the church. I was so amazed because as far as I know many of us are not into sufferrings and believers of God. But I was wrong.
Finally after a very long walk were at Mt. Makulot. At first we started climbing the small one then after that was the Mt. Makulot. It was one fun, tiring and trilling one. Climbing up was the easy one compare to going down. There are many hard and big stones that you need to get through and huge roots of large tall trees. There is one thing that I have learned to, you must be able to bring enough water for the whole day for you not to be thirsty. Cause almost or I say all of the foods their selling are so expensive. An example of it was 1 small plastic cup of juice would cost Php. 10 and no discounts.
Those hard and big stones and huge roots of super large trees that I have mentioned I imagine them all of my obstacles in life. So to be able to pass through those things I just think that if I will not be able to got to the peak of this mountain it would only means that I would not be successful in everything that I do in my life. So I do all my very best to face all of that. At last I finally reached the peak of the mountain, and after I have seen that mezmerizing sceneries I became hyper and energized again.
Hope that I would climb and have a camping experience at a higher one. :)

4TH MEETING: ANSWERS FOR GUIDE QUESTIONS FOR JOURNAL ENTRIES
1. As I have seen the results of the said activity, I'm quite shocked. I wasn't expecting that most of them will wrote that I'am a happy type of a person.
2. a.Given the following situations, how would you like to be treated by your teachers and schoolmates:
-when you have given wrong answers to the questions during recitation;
Well as I far as I know nobody is perfect, so I'am expecting that even I have answered it wrong my classmates and even my teacher must or should show some appreciation. Atleast I did try to answer their question eventhough its wrong. And they should explain the right answer in a nice way. In a way that it cant hurt my feelings.
-when you are expressing your opinion during class or group discussion;
Everyone of us must listen to everyones opinion to simply show some respect. If you dont want to listen then better shut your mouth and dont murmur and dont even try to do some things just to interrupt.
-when you commit mistake;
As I have said no body is perfect so its just so ordinary to commit mistake/s. Everyone of us commint mistake so just accept the mere fact. And understand the one whom commited a mistake.
-when you don’t like doing what they ask you to do and when they want to give you their comments or suggestions?;
For me, I really want people who give their comments and suggestions because from them I may know what are the things that I might need to improve. If they ask me to do things that I didn't want to, well it depends. If I my self will benefit on those things I think I just do it and reverse.
b. Considering the given ideas on how to treat others with respect, what can you commit to yourself in terms dealing with the MCL community: teachers, students, employees, security, maintenance/janitors and canteen personnel?
As a student of MCL and as a human being I just respect them the way they respected me. So in other words if you want me to respect you better respect me to as a human being and a student and if not I will do the other way around.

3RD MEETING: MY PERSONAL VALUES
~Positive Attitude
***
I dont remember when was the time I started practicing this values. But for many years have past I could really say that it results to a better experiences. Why?
Well everyone of us is soo familiar to the word PROBLEM. Problems which lead to some people to commit suicide. Problems which they say that hard to be solve. Problems which lead to some broken families. Problems which lead to some misunderstandings.
Problem refers to a situation, matter, or person that presents perplexity or difficulty. Well lets accept the reality that in some of us doesnt know that in every problem there's always a solution. Solutions that might be found everywhere but were not into it. I mean we just dont grab that opportunity to solve that problem eventhough the solutions are there, were just only focusing on that that particular thing; problem. And were just putting it worst.
For me, one solution to that is you just think things positively. Its like your dreaming things that you would like to be done in the near future which will lead you to a better world. If everyone of us will just think positively and do it heartly I think problems would be resolved. Because once you think positively and do it heartly you might result to a good solution. In which we might not do some harsh things into our selves (e.g suicide).
When I was in high school I have this misunderstanding with my well way back before a friend but now an enemy of mine. It all started when I fell in love or felt very much in love into that guy who is really good at chess, tall (too tall for me :]), not that cute, and not that handsome, in short he is not good at anything except making me smile and crazy (in terms of talking my self into the mirror laughing and the reason is just having some flash backs of the "kilig moments or chats" that we have). Well I knew I was wrong at the first place because he does have his girlfriend and being too much in love with him is soo wrong. But chatting and joking with each other somethimes isn't wrong. But her girlfriend thinks that I'm making "landi" on his boyfriend. I tried to explain everything to her but she said some unrespectable and unhuman words to me which makes me realize that that girl is a poser!! And the guy that I'm inlove with he didn't make anything he just play chess on the chess plaza. I treated that girl soo good I even treated her as one of my good friend but she even give me sometime to explain everything she just believe on what the others are saying which are actually wrong. I cried and cried. I think all of the people who have seen and knew that will treat me untrully and unrespectedly. But after a day have past I just think positively that this would be better and a OK. I just kept on thinking that I'm not that person what she said so I just be myself. And years have past and I did have lots of good friends which I can now treasure.
*The guy is now one of my best friend.
Its good to have lots of friends but your role as a friend you must listen to her explanations first before believing to others. And you must respect them as a human being unless you yourself dont treat yourself as one. And lastly always think positive.
3RD MEETING: GUIDE QUESTIONS FOR JOURNAL ENTRY
If I would have one outsanding virtue I think that would be "Positive attitude". In every days of our lives we coudn't tell where, when and how our problems or trials will come to test us. And to be able to solve all of that trials you must always be a Positive Thinker; being able to think positive things eventhough you have a lot of problems facing through, you must not put you're self down but you must think new and better ways how would you able to anwer them in such a good way.
Life is like Math; if there are problems ,it (must) always have solutions.
And everytime I am suffering problems I just think positive and it would be a relief.

2ND MEETING: COPING WITH THE TRANSITION TO COLLEGE (READINGS)

If you will just look at them you will trully have those kind of impressions but the way they talk to you is much more different, they're kind, you can easily approach them. And if you have some problems they are all welcome to listen to it.
3.) Block sections/ mates, well as of now I can say that they are all kind, they always have jokes, they always tease on each other, music lover, friendly and easy to be with. For the strenghts and weaknesses I havent discovered it yet.
4.) Courses for my program MMA (Multimedia Arts) are all challenging but I think MATH011 as the easy one but it doesnt mean that I'am really good at math but because I already know some of the lessons that were studying now, its like were reviewing our high school math. HUM013 for me is the most challenging among all beacause, were studying I think some of the literary pieces in which we are going to explain it and when it comes to explaning or explanation those kind of things I find it so difficult.
5.) There are a lots of adjustments that I feel that I am going through. Based on my schedule I will not have any breaktime and because of that, I have to adjust myself to eat more before our classes start. On the other side it also have some good effects for those who are undergoing on their diet.

1st MEETING: ANSWERS FOR THE GUIDE QUESTIONS FOR JOURNAL ENTRIES
Being a College Student is realy different if we are going to compare it into our High School lives. Way back before I when I was a cute, chubby, little girl i envision that once you've entered college its gonna be easier that high school, because you will just focus into youre chosen program or course. But I was soo wrong! Since the day that I have known that entering college life is difficult. I always said to myself that I better study more.
There are soo many things that differ once you enter colloge. First, in your classmates, way back in our high school life; you would be able to meet the same faces of your classmates that you have, but in college you wont. Second, you wont have any adviser that would always remind you in your projects , assignments or any requirements that you need to pass. Third, your class schedule - once that youre sched is full or straight, you wont be able to eat your lunch or even have any breaktime (so you better eat more before you go to school).
Values Education, is a course were in students would be able to learn to vary their character, moral, personal and spiritual development.
