The Most Challenging Thing I have ever Accomplished

This journal describes one of my own experience of completing a task, given your full effort, dedication and determination. Its an accomplishment were in I reak the peak of the mountain.

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

Self Evaluation

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

~July 06, 2009
~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.
