BLOOMING Panagbenga Festival

The Panagbenga Festival is held during the month of February in Baguio City, Philippines. This festival got its own name Panagbenga from a kankanaey term meaning " season of blooming". If you'll personally visit Baguio for this festival, you'll be delighted to see the coloful and dozens of flowers being put in floats as it is being parade in the road. How I wish we could visit there to witness how beautiful it is to see the dances, the people and the feast itself.

Baguio, being called as "the Summer Capital of Philppines" is one of the most visited Tourist Spots in the country. It is so because the temperature is cold, the vegetables and fruits are abundant and can buy in cheaper price and where the distinct Ifugaos live.

Never Judge a Person

You know, I was so upset. You know why?

Well, I will tell you this as a secret between the two of us and please don't dare to tell anyone else..Here I go. I will start my story~~~

It was 9:00 am and I started eating my snack in the classroom. My INTELLIGENT classmates are roaming around to ask who are those fellas that are included in TOP 15. They noticed me (I don't know why) and ask me if I were included in the list and what place I am. I retorted and say..

"No, I wasn't included, but I'm in 21st place"

You know what my classmates responded?

They laughed at me..What a reaction!!!
In those times that they laughed in front of me .. I looked at myself and suddenly dusk hit upon me..I realize that I'm so low and weak that I can't stand on my own..

From the start, I look down myself as an ugly,dumb and unworthy person. But I came out of my shell and began to have what we called 'SELF ESTEEM' for my family and friends who are always there for me to coax and told me to cheer up all times. But of all those efforts that I've done to be POSITIVE and be CONFIDENT will just be ruined and turned into devastation by the people who don't even feed me and who don't even hold my life?!!

I cried, for the world that I stepped on now is not fair. Why? Because they made people almost perfect except me. Why do they have to laugh me?Is it because they are smart while I am not..??I described them as the 'DISCRIMINATOR' and I don't like their traits. Even though they are smart, they should not look down others and find their weaknesses in a person.

Upon hearing this, my one classmate (who joined the laughing or started it probably) approached me and ask for an apology. It takes minutes for me to decide and to be alone and I forgave her. If Jesus forgives us sinners why can't I forgive them?

Life is not always at the top. I wish that someday, people don't see me as an ugly person but someone a friend who can give advices. NEVER JUDGE A PERSON whom you didn't know yet. You must see to it that before prejudice others is you must look what's in yourself. Today, I thanked Heavenly Father for giving lecture in this day. Therefore, I conclude that not all people have the same characteristics and he made us different. We should treat one another as brothers and sisters. Praise the Lord!!!

Happy Cindy during her first call in radio..

Note: This blog was posted last May 2008, Mother's Day..I felt delighted when I read this again so I get it from my Xanga account!! 

Yippee! I was so happy what happened in Mother's day last night.I didn't expect that this will happen to me.I was able to call the radio station where you are given a chance to greet your mother a HAPPY MOTHER's DAY!You know already that you're not that the only one who can greet on air because millions and billions of listeners are intending also to call on the radio.But as what I have said,I'm one of the lucky listeners that was chosen to greet on air for their loving mothers.I can't believe it,because this is my first time and I'm not so sure if I will be pick up as a greeter.When the DJ said to call up and gave their number I quickly ran to our phone and start dialing the numbers.I was not so fast to dial up the numbers.But when the phone rang I was shocked and so happy when the DJ greeted me HELLO and asked my name.Were two in the living room,my cousin and I.My cousin listens to the radio and I answered the phone.When the DJ asked where do I live,I answer so loudly and gracefully.And the good thing is the DJ was very impressed to me.Since it's mother's day he gave me 10 seconds to greet my mom and I was able to greet her but not all the members of the house because 10 seconds was done already.The DJ said GOODBYE to me.After that,I shout out loud and jump higher .I think,a simple thing can make a person happy.As a child you should be happy because you greeted your mother and it will be aired throughout the city!
Belated Happy Mother's Day!!!!

If you're in Cebu,Philippines, please choose the hittest and most famous radio station in the Queen City of the South,the 99.5RT Nindota Ah!

What most students do when Achievement Test comes?

proper shading is the way to get your answers validated

Well, some diligent students are preparing for this because they believe it counts the score they've got. They have to cram by studying and read every page in a book to get higher grades.

Achievement Test like NAT (National Achievement Test) has to be taken nationwide by students all over the schools in the Philippines to determine the literacy rate and their IQ (intelligence quotient). It determines also how a student copes up with the lesson they took up and which region has a higher teaching level either in public schools or in private schools.

So how about those students who are so-called "happy-go-lucky"?

When I think of these fellows, I feel pity for them. It's not only in them but also to their parents. Not all the time the parents could sustain their necessities to their studies because not anytime they could have money. Parents are working too hard to give their child some allowance and in their requirements. They are doing this because they expect their children would finish school, find a good job and help them when they are getting older.

But it seems students nowadays are waiting for luck. Some students are now faced in a modern technological society where they are very hooked on to the gadgets that's in today. Back to the topic, when they hear the word 'achievement test' they feel bored and pressured because instead spending time to relax, they have to review for the past lessons they've tackled. When I asked a student from a public school he just answered:

a reviewer for you to be prepared

"How could I get worried for that test. It's just a test for you to answer either you'll take it seriously or to just make fun of it. It's a multiple choice and it doesn't affect your grades. Anyways, it will be checked after the school year.." said he.

When I jotted down his statement, questions have grown and risen up in my mind. How could he say that it doesn't affect his grades and you can make fun of it? I realize that some students don't think about how important it is to take this achievement test. Don't you know that NAT is important to find out how the students in the Philippines excel and progress when it comes to academics and for the Department of Education to add some school curricula to motivate the students' mind?

~~My ModeLLinG MoMents~~

I feel a kind of jealousy when I saw beautiful girls wearing beautiful outfits that is very in this year..But I can't follow the way they dress because there such hindrances that I can't do so..so what I did, though I'm CHUBBY or somewhat kind of a fat girl who's dreaming to become a model, I try to myself not to lose hope..reducing one's weight is not a quick process but it acquires discipline of the foods you eat and time to wait for you to become a fit and active person..
You know, this picture below is what I admired most..how I wish I will become such..a clothing line model??not bad..



This is Angelina Jolie, she is pretty pregnant here, but not like others she is not noticeable preggy because she keeps her body in shape...
She is beautiful,white and tall..I like her because she's ready to help needy people..

So much for Ms. Jolie-Pitt, I wish to become like her..Sometimes I laugh myself for being a chubby person..I'm a computer addict and I found ways to be seen in pictures as a fit and cute girl..you know what's my secret??

I EDITED them!!!I found myself contented when I saw my edited pics..I feel I'm the original and genuine model of those..so here are they..



Though they are quite noticeable..I'm happy for what I've done..It's not too late to change the changes..I keep on believing that I'll become famous someday..

Chances are about to come if you have OPTIMISM and SELF-RELIANT..as what Barbie Movies I've seen it says "Live your Dream" .. Go CinDy Go.!!

Fare Increase in Philippines?

We really can't deny the increase of oil here in the Philippines. Imagine, we can have the gasoline for P50!.And because of this, many Filipinos are suffering especially the PUJ and taxi drivers. 

But is it right or proper to increase the fare in PUJs and taxis again?

If the government will force the increasing of fare, few companies will be closed or will retrench.

We already know how to budget a small amount of money in everyday life and our primary needs are food.

That's why we can say that it's better not to force these organizations for the drivers to increase fares.

Instead of increasing, I think we should find another ways to decrease the price of gasoline.

One of the ways is the Oil Deregulation Law.
