COMEDY

There are different types of comedy shows.

First is the dramedy.
Second is the pure comedy.
Third is the satire comedy.

I realize my mom gets better faster if
she watches either a dramedy or a pure
comedy, it must be the body manufacturing
dopamine and serotonin, when a person
starts laughing. Examples are the "I Love
Lucy" (old version) and "Shirley Temple".

I chanced upon this dramedy shows, because
a friend lent a DVD original copy. These
shows are not shown on tv anymore
because they are quite old. I thought
it won't evoke my funny bones... but it did!


Satirical comedy like the Griffins will
not make her better because it makes her
think deeply, and I think it triggers cortisol
hormones, which is used during emergency or
what we commonly know as "adrenalin rush."

In the final analysis, when a person is stressed
I think "laughter is the best medicine" (Readers'
Digest monthly article)

I thought dramedy and pure comedy is great
for anti-stress buster
before taking a real hard exam...

oh... and don't forget to study okay.. so you
can easily "A" ce them!

UNIVERSITY PREPARATION

Most incoming fourth year students
are preparing for their university
entrance exams by now.

Some enrolled in review schools,
hoping to get into the best universities in
the country.

The best preparation is day one, when
you started your nursery.

By now, incoming students should
have an embedded
habit of studying and diligence.

The first days of fourth year high school
is one of those things you cannot afford
to miss, as you are already careening towards
university life. A big leap to the adult world...
and an intense preparation for your professional
life.

MAINTAINING GRADES

Studying is a lifetime habit.

It makes you resilient in the face
of adversity.

It makes you brave through the
forces of evil.

It makes you maintain your
balance especially when
the emotions are
running high.

It teaches you how to Love
in the real meaning of the word.

One study technique I learned
is to enjoy learning as it comes along, even
if you don't like the subject, there is always
something there which can be useful when
the time comes.

PROMising

Feb month is fast approaching,
in my country, most High School
students are busy preparing
for their third quarter...

Well, not really, as Feb is known
to be the month of the hearts...
and it is St. Valentine's Day!

St. Valentine is a saint who
defended the young Romans
as they were prohibited to get
married for Rome.

St. Valentine, believed in the sanctity
of marriage, so he defended that
it shouldn't be so. For those
people who have the vocation to marriage
then they have to be blessed.

Third Year and Fourth Year
High School indeed is too
young to get married, but its
good to meet up friends where
you can exchange ideas
and dreams with. Not really
a serious relationship yet, as
there is a long time
to go, before eventually settling down.

Proms is a safe place
where you can meet
up friends, lucky are the girls
and boys who are
invited on this gala night.
It is wholesome place when
the parents and teachers support
and are present in the affair, as
we well know, teenagers will always
be teenagers.


Intelligent and cool
teenagers knew they shouldn't
be taking booze
and heavy alcohol, as they
wouldn't see their invited
guests clearly and would miss the
chance of making great friends which
can really last. On top of that,
you won't look great in your
JS prom pictures.

I enjoyed my own JS Prom,
as my teachers, family
and friends were also present
and they all danced
the night away. If you watch
High School Musical One, the scene
of the dancing of the students,
teachers ....
literally it was like that, of
course with some
dancing steps modified.


We did end it at 12 midnight, as
its good to have a good night sleep at
home tucked with happy dreams.

We usually wear a formal dress,
the gentlemen usually
wear their coat and tie,
some ah..yes their barongs... okay..
they really don't look like people
who are in the "kabaongs.."
okay, but they were really elegant.

Anyways, on top of the
whole organization as the
Juniors and Seniors were busy
working on what specific
attire should be worn, its
good training. Once you hit
the business world, looking
back JS prom is a great avenue
for training in the business world.

I was thankful I had a JS prom.
It taught me how to act
sensibly and intelligently, ofcourse
with my parents and teachers
behind me, guiding me
all the time ( I was just 15 then).

I can't help to say, it was one of my most
memorable days of my life, and
I was grateful for my teachers,
the nuns and my parents who were
there, making it really special.

Despite the JS prom frenzy,
we all managed
to get good grades and
finished our university
courses with flying colors.
