SK and Barangay Election is just a blink of an eye away.. And I know that every candidate wants to win.. But why is it that they are being cruel just to get what they want? And worse they are doing rude things in front of our youth.. Why is it that they are so desperate to win when all they have are false reasons to serve our town? They are only after the power and glory that being a politician gives.I always believed that the youth are the hope of this nation but how can they fulfill this duty when as early as now, they are being blinded by the fake definition of LEADERSHIP. They are being CONTROLLED by UNCONCERNED individuals. Why on earth these kinds of people existed? Why were these youth put on the wrong hands?
Mr. GOD, You know all the questions and concerns I have in my heart. You know how much I really care for these young people and that I don't want anything for them but the best. Please enlighten their hearts on what is SK Election all about and why it exists. Please open their hearts so that they can let You in and purify their intentions for running. Please light their way so that they may not get blinded by the false guidance EVIL PEOPLE is giving them. Please please please save them as early as now so that they will not be like those leaders who have CORRUPTS MINDS and BULL CRAP INTENTIONS. Mr. God I'm lifting all these concerns I have in my heart and mind. And I know that You'll answer my prayer.
I don’t know how to start. I don’t know what to say. My heart is overwhelming with all the good memories you’ve brought into my life. My mind is overflowing with all the lessons that you taught me. But I guess I need to organize my thoughts and start writing down what I want to tell you guys.
I’m writing to you guys because I’m leaving already. I’m leaving not because I don’t want to be with you anymore but because I’m going back to Manila to work on my desired career. Honestly, I don’t want to leave. I hate counting the days and realizing that I only have a week to stay here. I’m really hoping that time would freeze or rewind itself. But that’s too far from reality. I guess this is the price that we have to pay as we get older.
It has been a splendid year for this group. In my how many years of serving the Lord I can’t remember an instance that the youth ministry was sustained this long. This is the first time that it survived for one whole year and I’m really happy about it. Besides my family and friends, youth are the next people closest to my heart. Not because I used to be one of you guys but because I feel grateful having to share all life’s lessons to me. I love it when you share your problems with me and I get to help you with all the advices I can give. I’m so honored everytime you thank me and tell me that I was a great help for your concerns. I’m very well pleased everytime I see all of you smiling. Just simply happy. You just don’t know how joyful I am when I’m with you guys and everytime we’re complete.
Taking care all of you is not easy. Honestly, somehow, you guys are big pain in my ass. Most of you are super “kulet” especially when everybody is present. Sometimes my patience is about to snap but I always tell myself that it’s not everyday that we get to see each other especially now that several of our members are already in college. Sometimes I also get tired of reminding you not to do this and not to do that. I feel like you don’t listen to me but then again I realize that when I was at your age I acted the same way. That’s why no matter what you do guys, just like how your parents act, I will keep on bugging you until you learn what you have to learn. Sorry but I’m your ate and I don’t want you to go the wrong direction. I don’t want you to follow the footsteps of those youth whose future are now as dark as hell because nobody guided them. I’m so attached to PYM that I only want what’s best for everyone. Just a reminder by the way. For those members who are running for this year’s SK Election, please guys, no fighting. No personal attacks. If you’re gonna make your campaigns, speeches or whatever you need to do for your candidacy keep in mind, that you belong to one group. ALL OF US are sisters and brothers in CHRIST. And the bond that we have will not be ruined because of this election. WHOEVER will throw a personal attack on their opponent, I swear I will kick your ass out of this group. Do you get that people?
Okay. I’m lost with my thoughts again. I don’t know how to end this letter. But I guess I’ll just end it by thanking each of you for keeping this organization alive. Thank you for going an extra mile just to serve not just PYM but Him as well. Thank you for entrusting your life to PYM and to us. Thank you for a one whole year of execeptional memories. As I journey without you guys beside me, I will treasure these things in my heart. And I will forever be grateful for having to meet all of you. Always keep in mind as well, all the things that we taught you. And if you need someone to lean on for your problems and someone to share your happiness, you know where and how to find me. ALL OF YOU are such wonderful creations of GOD. I love you all.
P.S. Please don’t give Kuya Bonn, Ate M.M, Ate Grace Ate Lala Ate Lota and Ate Shalani headaches this coming YBD ha? Behave. Be good. Okay?
I don’t usually bring out my laptop when travelling but at this very moment, I can’t contain what I’m feeling. I have mixed emotions. Sad. Happy. Anger. Hatred. I guess that’s how it feels when one wanted things to turn out okay but unfortunately, wish was not granted.
Game 3 denied..
My, or should I say, OUR TAMARAWS just lost to the EAGLES. A heartbreaking loss. Everyone or at least the FEU Community and other fans were expecting for a do or die game on Saturday but unfortunately the more experienced Eagles hawked down the exceptional Tamaraws. If I may, I would say that their game was a battle between experience and talent. For five years FEU was not able to reach the Finals compared to Ateneo who had a trip to the Finals several times and won the championship two years in a row. Our veterans never had a taste of how it is to play in crucial games like Game 2. Yes, they have the talent, they are good, they have a great team effort but these things were not enough to melt down the inevitable knowledge and skills Ateneo garnered. Nevertheless, eventhough FEU was denied in their bid for Game 3, the important thing was, they got to experience how to play in the Finals. From there, they can start to rebuild the broken TAMARAW spirit and start to digest EVERYTHING they learned from their defeat. So that next season, they will not just have the talent and aspiration to win, but also, they have the experience that will drive them to FINALLY bring back the trophy to Morayta.
No game-fixing..
After Game 1, articles flooded the internet saying that FEU did their best to be defeated and that the game was “benta”. I strongly disagree on that. I have two points to raise on this matter. First one, Ateneo is way ahead of FEU when it comes to experience. They have been to the Finals couple of times and some of their veterans belong to the championship team. From that, FEU is the underdog. Most of their veterans never seen action in the Finals. And as they always say, “iba pa rin kapag finals”. Everyone is back to zero come championship games. It does not matter whether you’re the top team or the defending champion. For the Finals game, it is a matter of experience and the ability not to let pressure eat you up. Talent counts but familiarity on how Finals is being played dictates the story. Second point, if the game was really “benta” then who are we going to blame? All FEU players did not play their usual game. No one was consistent. Everyone was shocked on how Ateneo started their run. So does that mean, EVERYONE sold the game? Then the culprit must be very veryrich because he/she was able to buy the whole team. Kudos to them then!
Just a simple reminder for those who are doubting FEU, unless you have PROOFS that the game was “benta” then that would be the only time for you to write all your accusations. But no one yet is proven guilty so please stop bullying OUR TAMARAWS.
Heart ofa Tamaraw..
I admit, I’m sad that we did not win the championship but more to that, I am grateful because the TAMARAWS were able to bounce back from that embarassing Game 1 setback. Like what I always say, a TAMARAW will never bow down to defeat without putting a good fight and they just showed that. They did not give up until the end. They did their best to beat Ateneo but the Eagles wanted the crown as much as we do. For me, the TAMARAWS pulled out a great game and they deserve our praises. They are worthy to be RESPECTED on and off court. And I know that the other teams, not just Ateneo, are clapping their hands for how they played just to keep our hopes alive. We should not blame anybody for what happened, what’s done is done and we just have to continue supporting them. They need us now more than ever. For the TAMARAWS, your loss will not change anything. We are still proud of you guys and you will always be the BEST TEAM for us. FEU community will never get tired of cheering for you and we will always be happy for whatever achievement you can bring to our Alma Mater. And no matter what happens, just like what a friend said, OUR HEARTS WILL ALWAYS BLEED GREEN AND GOLD. We are proud to be TAMARAWS.
