speech

February 19th, 2009

ang aking inaugural speech when i was elected junior mayor. haha. walang magawa kaya pinost ko nalang

————————————————–

Our young and dynamic City mayor, Hon Jeffrey Jubal C. Nalupta, our equally able Vice mayor, aseasoned leader, Hon. Allan M. Nalupta, committed members of the Sangguniang Panglugsod, fellow Junior City officials and their respective Senior Counterparts, other city officials, school heads, teachers, fellow students, friends, ladies and gentlemen, a pleasant morning to all.

When two men ride a horse, one must ride behind.

The meaning of a leader comes in many views and in different perspectives. When I was younger, my perspective of a leader is someone who can boss around and bully everyone. Someone who is authoritative, someone who dictates what is and what is not to be done. As I grew up, I realized that I was wrong. Being an effective leader is about living a life of influence. It’s about leaving behind to the other men the conviction and the will to carry on. Its about living a life of influence so that your members will be confident in following you and let you ride the horse before them. It’s about living a life of influence so that your people will trust your drive in the journey. I’m afraid I will not be the best driver in this game of leadership but I am confident that I can make it, for the influence of Christ is in me.

I am a teenager, not yet a total grown up. And for me, life is easy when I’m sitting in a shade-not too hot, not too cold I think that’s what I mean. Now I’m nervous and I’ve come undone. Assuming the position as the Junior Mayor seems to draw me away from my complacency, but I am taking the challenge. I am ready to leave behind my comfort zones to be a better individual, a better citizen and a better leader. Because I know God has established me in this position with a purpose, with a reason.

To my fellow Junior City Officials, we now represent the youth of the City of Batac. A group of people who’s got something to say, who wanted their voices to be heard, andwho still believes that there is a hope for the father land. We are now the voices of our fellow youth in the City of Batac. Now is the time for you and me to regenerate the vision of our great hero, Gat Jose Rizal, that we are the hope of our Mother land.LET OUR LIGHT SHINE IN BATAC CITY! Yes we are young, and a small voice but in unity we can do a BIG difference in our own humble ways with God’s guidance. The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep because we are young. But as we climb the ladder of leadership we are slowly honed to become a better person and the goal to make a difference is not far from realization. Difference??? Yes, let us help one another to make the 2008-2009 batch of junior city official create a big difference. And let our vision be made one, that after a year of service, we shall see the youth of Batac tempted in violating the law, engaged in vices and are using prohibited drugs NO MORE.

Honorable Mayor, respected Vice mayor and the Sangguniang Panglungsod, we take this opportunity to respectfully present our project proposal. We shall propose to the City of Batac a Clean and Green Caravan Project to different secondary schools. Let us introduce or strengthen a school-based Waste Segregation and Utilization of Biodegradable to Bio-fertilizer. Let us educate our younger brother and sister to value their own generated wastes for a better environment. Isn’t it nice to dream, that through our batch of junior officials, we shall be able to lead our respective schools to produce our own bio-fertilizers for our own school gardens? Isn’t it heartwarming to envision that in a year or more, we shall see secondary schools in Batac engaged in bio-fertilizer production for organic farming of their own… and perhaps….. if over produced and sustained, it can be a source of their income generating project! And moreover….this may radiate to their own backyards leaving Batac a real clean and green City!

Before I finally end, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Hon. Mayor for sustaining this tradition of leadership training. To the Vice mayor and the SP members, we look forward to working with you in our project. Thank you very much for the anticipated support. Sir Atty Chito Nalupta, thank you for patiently guiding us… we need more of that Sir…To Sir Marlon Soria maraming salamat po for making this program a reality. To our parents, relatives and friends, thank you for your support! To my manang and manung, who came all the way from Manila to be with me here today, thank you. And to my dad who was not able to grace this very momentous event in my life, knowing that you are proud of me and that you will always be there in all my adversities is more than enough.

Thank you….God bless you all…, may God Bless the City of our dreams.. Mabuhay City of Batac!

Naiinis ako! Yeah, naiiistress ako. Aside from the fact na lima ang exams naming bukas nakaka stressa ng mga tao school. Hirap din pala ng daming hindi kasundo sa school. Even just for a day I want a break. Gusto ko ung hindi ko sila makikita ng isang araw. Even just for a day. Darn! I want that. I need that badly.

I asked my mom if I can go to manila on the weekend since wala naming pasok sa Monday and she said it was impractical if id go there without reasons, which makes sense. But I hello! I have an emotional struggle here and I really need air (kahit walang matinong hangin sa manila) to breathe. Nakakapagod sila. I mean, hindi talaga ako sanay na may kaaway and I want to back off, but they are annoying me na talaga.

nag dradrama ako

February 17th, 2009

Ilang days nalang graduation na. ang dami kong struggles before ako nag decide kung saan ako mag aaral. It took time before I could really hear God bout his plans and purposes in my life. So approximately 1 month from now ill be leaving batac. I need to leave to explore my horizons. To see whats in store or me. I wanna learn how to be independent. And gusto naman ni God na dun ako J I dony even really plan na sa mmsu ako mag cocollege. Lord mababaliw ako if that’s gonna happen. Like everyday of my life sa mmsu lng ako paikot-ikot. I spent 4 years of my life at mmsu. And I owe lots of memories and good times to my alma mater but I wont be able to stand another four years in mmsu.

So today, we went to the center to meet with my fellow new members of the music team of victory batac. Wow naman! Music na ako…but im leaving in a month L atleast diba I can still be in the service of God.

Napamahal na talaga saken tong spiritual family kong to. They were the one who strengthen my relationship with Christ. Nandito ung mga taong gumabay saken in my spiritual warfare. It wasn’t an easy fight, but with my spiritual family who were always there, super nafeel ko na hindi ako nag iisa. I love them dearly, and in a month Ill be leaving them. Grabe si kuya Erwin kanina, parang nag preach. Go kuya!

Yes its not yet goodbye but im surely gonna miss them all. Parang ayoko ng umalis but I know their prayers will always be my guide. Walaparing gagaya sa victory batac. Haha. I love this people. Im surely gonna miss them, but I know, im gonna achieving greater if I follow God. God is leading me to life. He has plans for me, better than mine.

To my spiritual family, I love you guys, and im gonna miss you. If there would be 1 reason I want to stay here is kayo. You had very great impact in my life. waaaahhH!!! Gusto ko nang sanayin ung sarili ko na hindi kayo nakikita. Haha. I love you guys!

ruined night

February 15th, 2009

i have this feeling that i relly really wanna blog but i dont have anything to blog about. until i came crashin to the blog of josiah in his multiply page: http://josiahpatrickbagayas.multiply.com/journal/item/5/The_Worlds_Greatest_Prom_Destroyer

so josiah’s version was “i destroyed her prom.” mine was, “he destroyed my prom.” its was not josiah who destroyed my night and definetely, i am not the one who mocked on josiah. haha. josiah danced with me and i loved it. thanks adeng.

now here is the story. well i dont really know how to tell it,  coz the only word that comes to mind is “bwisit” and i cant write and fill this page with that word. bzta bwisit talaga. ive been trying to spill out this kabwisitan but i just cant seem to get over it.

it is my last prom. my LAST prom, and i want it to be flawless, a night to remember. and ofcourse the most remembered part is your first dance and your last dance. and i wanted those dances to be worth remembering. like when i look back i would go “ahhhhhh” not “urgghhhh”. my first dance was Randy, sweet huh? my classmate for 7 years. my grand march partner and my cuddle bear. hahaha. well that was worth remembering.

i have always looked forward for this prom. you see last year was magical. but it had to end soo soon. and i felt like this prom, is the continuation of a great dream.  there is this guy who is into me. yeah, im trying to be humble here asked me 3 days before the prom if he could be my last dance. and i was like “kung sino ang mauna.” well, that supposed to mean NO!!!! - hey read between the lines. and all night, i was trying really hard in avoiding him. i never sat down. never stopped dance. and if i see him coming, id grab a guy to dance with me or id go rushing to the comfort room. yeah that was mean i know. but im not really comfortabel dancing with him. i dont feel secure, unlike the other guys. i tried really hard no to dance with him. well yeah i gave him the chance, one. and i was hoping and wishing and praying that he’ll be satified with one dance. i mean, there are many other guys out there who are really special to me and i wanted to have a dance with them. cant he get that? he is not even my boyfriend and i dont even like him! did he think that id love to dance with him?  hell no! cant he see im avoiding him?  when some other guy dance with me, he would grab another girl and dance behind us. and then id push my partner further so that i can get rid of him but as i turn around his dancing right next to me again. irritatig huh??!!!

before the last piece, sir gallego asked all of us to seat down and give some important annoucnement. during that time my friend ivah told me, “agsagana ka.” in english “get ready.” i didnt understand what she meant. and i begged her to tell me but she didnt tell still. and when sir gallego annouced its the last dance, i said it out loud, “jak kayat agsalan.” im sure that was loud enough for him tobhear me. but ang kapal ng mukha!!!!!!! he came to me and asked if he can have that dance. men!!! inside of me, i wanted to shout! scream! but im not naturally mean. not really, so i took his hand and danced with him. while we were dancing he asked me if i was avoiding him, and i was like helllloooo!!! nahalata mo naman pala!!!!! obvious ba??????. but i didnt say it. haha. i just kept that for myself. while my night was being destroyed dancing my last danc with him, i was looking at the guy i wanted to have my last dance with and he was also looking at me straight to the eye. awwww. i can feel the two of us communicating. its as if his eyes were saying, “it must have been you and me.”  i was just looking at him, imagining and wanting it was him in dancing with. happiest part of my last dance is when sir pugrad (believe me, you dont wanna dance with him. but yeah, he is good looking) asked him-the nakakairita guy-to swap with him. though i dont really want to dance with him, im stucked! its either to end the night with him or with sir pugrad. id rather have it with sir pugrad.

so the prom ended. i sent a message to my friends how ruined my night is. ofcourse i didnt send that to him, that would be too mean. i still respect his feelings naman. but it really got into my nerves when when he sent a gm “naperdi nga rabii. badtrip” was he refering to my message. darn i hate him! well yeah good he knows he destroyed my night.

when i got home, ivah told me whats the “agsagana ka” was all about. that guy i wanted to dance with, was actually planning to take me as his last dance :( bi should have known.
