My Treasure Box

by Jerahmeel Tayag Jr. Grade X-Rizal           If you ask me what is that one thing that I would like to acquire, I would answer nothing because I already have these things in my hands. No need to buy presents. No need to search for places and no need to create things that would make me happy. These are already in my heart running through my mind and resting within my soul. Though they might not be perfect, but seriously, nothing is perfect so i don't expect but for my standards they are. Though they might hurt me sometimes but that's good. If I wasn't hurt,if I wasn't pained,I wouldn't be who I am today. Thank you guys.              They are my cellphones. No need for iPhone and Samsung . They are free, ready to listen and speak. They are my audience. No need to buy a large stadium just for them to hear me. All it takes is a chair ,a hot coffee and a warm hug. No need for computers and tablet games for they are my...

         "A Wish For Christmas" by Nashiba Ada Grade X-Rizal           The gift that I really  want to receive this coming Christmas is a special vacation or tour around the world with my whole family. Because my parents are so busy with their job,they don't have so much time to take care of us and to be with us. So I wish we will have a family bonding in a very beautiful place with  fresh air and safe surroundings. A place where we are going to be very happy and where we can spend unforgettable moments together.           First, I wish we could go to Saudi Arabia to see Kaaba and to hajj and to be called hadji or khadi and there we can  also to pray for forgiveness. Second, I want to go to Dubai with my family to see my childhood bestfriend because I really miss him. Its been 5 years since  the last I time saw him. And the last is to see the beauty and greatness of the rest of ...

        A Phrase for Life by Princess De Juan Grade X-Rizal            What I really want to receive more than a phone this Christmas is a simple phrase from my mom. A phrase that any mother can say to her child. In my 17 years of existence and of all the things I have achieved since I was a kinder , I have never ever heard my mom say she was proud of me. I'm doing everything I can to make her proud. I've won a lot of contests, took home bags of medals, and did my best to keep my grades high but she never said anything about my achievements. She doesn't get contented with what I've got because she always expects for more. She just notice my flaws and correct my mistakes in every achievement that I get. Hearing my mom say she is proud of me is all I ever wanted from her and it would be a great gift not just for this Christmas but for my whole life. I'd like to receive this kind of gift from her because it would motivate me to co...

A SPECIAL GIFT ON CHRISTMAS DAY by Rhea Joy Bachar Grade X-Rizal            Every year, we celebrate Christmas. It is a very important event in our life. Also it is the time that our  Savior  Jesus Christ was born. People have their own preparations. When we celebrate this special occasion we   remember the happiness in our heart that God gave to us. All of us go to church and give gratitude to Him for the blessings that He gave.           Every Christmas, when I was young I left my socks in front of our door and hang it or sometimes I left my written wish lists in our Christmas tree that is near  our window and wait until 12 midnight. The generation change, time change, ate attitude can change also the taste in something. We can wish such thing that makes us happy. And now that I'm a teenager, I wish for many gifts. However, there is one that I truly wish, that is the re...

Time and Memories by Jonalyn Macarayan Grade X-Rizal           December is a time of giving. For me,the gift that I would like to receive is time and memories because time matters to all of us and memories make us happy.                     Being with my family and friends and celebrating together are  the best gifts I could ask this Christmas. It would not be fun and meaningful without them.Unlike material things, my family and my friends  are always there if I need them to share memories when I am happy, to comfort me when I am sad and weary . Material things break, but time and memories together last forever.  Although I couldn't bring back time, I can always bring back  memories by simply looking at  photographs  that show all the beautiful moments and funny things that we made together that some things are never forgotten. I could also simply imagine and think all...
