    against the defenseless Baybay during the championship game of futsal in Batang

    Pinoy held here at Maasin City last September 24 28 with a score of 20.

    Two players of MCFC are from the College of Maasin, Brandonn Neil Tia

    (DEFENSE), and Frederic Jasper Sembrano (GOAL KEEPER). Both of them contributed

    their liters of sweat to MCFC. An hour before their final game, the MCFC got ready for

    their awaited match unl the opening minutes of the game. At first, the MCFC were

    first shaking their nerves but suddenly, there blood rose higher and both teams

    showed their swarmed defense, powered kicks, and tricky placing. But MCFC tried

    their best for their team. In the middle of the first half, Baybay revealed their ironed

    defense unl suddenly, Lian Nathaniel Aring from Maasin Chrisan Academy scored a

    goal from the niy unpredictable pass from Brandonn Neil Tia. MCFC celebrated for a

    while unl the buzzer rung and ended the first half with a score of 10. When the sec

    ond half began, Baybay furiously dribbled the ball and they released tremendous kicks

    to Frederic Sembrano, but MCFCs goalkeeper did not allow even one goal because all

    of it was saved. MCFC needed revenge so they entered Arbby Kenneth Gamulo fromMaasin City Naonal High School. MCFC whirled Baybay with their tricky passes unl

    the ball was passed to Gamulo, he hurriedly dribbled the ball and he unleashed a

    wrecking ball kick and led MCFC to score. Baybay were shocked and thought that an

    eternal blizzard passed through them. MCFC won with a score of 20 while team Bay

    bay went home with a face weighing more than a kilo.

    Aer all their hard work, MCFC are now honored because they were the

    only team represenng the City of Maasin who got the gold in Batang PinoyVisayas

    The Girl Scouts of the Philippines (GSP) is the naonal guiding associaon for girls and

    young women of the Philippines. Its mission is "to help girls and young women realize the ideals

    of womanhood and prepare themselves for their responsibilies in the home, and to the naon,

    and the world community." The girlsonly associaon serves now a million members.

    Last October 25,2013, the Elementary Department of The College of Maasin had a Boyand Girl Scoung Acvity. In the morning, they had an opening program. Then, the Boys Scouts

    and Girls Scouts were separated for the acvies.

    Mrs. Ordiz was the one who was with the Junior Girl Scouts and another facilitator for

    the seniors. She told the Juniors about the history of Girl Scoung. She taught them songs about

    scoung. Then they had a film showing about the Girls Scouts aerwards.

    In the aernoon Mrs. Ordiz and a Girl Scout taught them how to make things such as

    woods and ropes useful when scoung in the woods. The acvity was very informave and fun.

    At 5oclock in the aernoon all scouts had dinner with the other scouters together

    with our teachers at the Alumni Court. Then aer that, they had a Torch Parade. Aer the pa

    rade, they had a Bonfire. A program ensued aerwards. Each grade level had a presentaon.

    The whole Girl and Boy Scout Acvity was a blast.

    Last Nov.6, 2013, the PAGASA

    reported that there is a super typhoon and

    believes to be traversing in the Philippines.It has maximum sustained winds at 280

    km/h and is said to landfall in Eastern Visa

    yas particularly in Guian, Eastern Samar.

    The government already warned the people

    about the dangers that might happen. They

    prepared the evacuation centers for the

    people whose houses are located along the

    coastal areas or are not sturdy enough to

    withstand the strong winds. The govern

    ment oficials cautioned the people about

    the dangers of having a storm surge. Nov.7,

    2013, the typhoon became much stronger

    reaching up to 315 km/h in wind speed

    because it rapidly absorbs large amount of

    water and air while its on its route towardsthe Philippine Area of Responsibility.

    On Nov.8, 2013, at 4 in the morn

    ing, the roaring Yolanda started. It had its

    irst landfall in Guian, Eastern Samar then in

    Tacloban City. The winds were very, very

    strong. On the aftermath, many houses,

    trees, electric posts and even cars were

    washed away. Tacloban was in a state of

    calamity. Almost all houses in the coastal

    areas were smashed or crushed away. Many

    people died there because of the reason

    that they themselves did not know what

    storm surge meant. Some were not aware

    on what will the typhoon bring and hard

    ened their heads to stay on their spot. Death

    tolls reached up to 5,959 but many still

    think that there were still many dead bodiesnot yet recovered. The roads were impassa

    ble and cellular sites were destroyed so it is

    very dificult for help to reach there. The

    survivors were left homeless. All were hun

    gry, thirsty and wept for the death of their

    loved ones. The children experienced trau

    mas after witnessing the catastrophe with

    their two naked eyes. Because help did not

    reach immediately, they had no choice but

    to loot the establishments for food and

    other things for survival. Typhoon Yolanda

    was reported as the strongest typhoon yet

    recorded in the world. Scientists said that

    many typhoons far stronger than Yolanda

    are still coming in the near future.As of now, the DOH is continually retriev

    ing the dead bodies in the affected areas

    and relief efforts are still ongoing. Some of

    the European and Asian countries helped by

    donating relief goods and other necessary

    items for survival. The people are gradually

    trying to move on and face another chapter

    of their lives after Yolanda drastically dev

    astated their area. But in reality, it will take

    years to rehabilitate the place.

    A mediocre teacher TELLS, A good teacher EXPLAINS, A superior teacher demonstrates, and A great

    teacher INSPIRES William Arthur ward. Different words, different meanings.

    A teacher from The College of Maasin is a very unique type of teacher, scary yet funny; at mes she

    gets mad easily but then from her simple gestures the fear you will feel will suddenly vanish. She is the type of

    teacher that can be a Mother, and a friend.

    You can tell her anything you want; Problems or good news, either way she always gives you advices

    that you can use, advices that inspires you, advices that is quite complicated but makes sense, advices that com

    forts you and keeps you calm, advices that are a bit funny but makes you realize about things.

    She is a very honest, and a frank type of person, she says what she really feels inside. She speaks the

    truth but in a good way.

    But before reaching this type of person she told us she have experienced pain in and out of her life, but

    despite of this pain she strives more posively, because pain molded her in to a stronger person, because pain

    transformed a girl into a woman, it turned her in to a mature person that is ready to face anything for her family

    and for her future.Presently, she is here in The College of Maasin, teaching, and inspiring students to strive more for their

    near future. A mother of 3 children and a wife of a great man, and a teacher of crazy students.

    She is a great inspiraon for all of us, most especially for students who think they cannot reach anything

    because of LACK. For me, Mrs. Hernadith Vallota is a really great teacher, a really great inspiraon, a really great

    mother, and a really great friend.

    Footsteps on a vague and labyrinth

    road

    A fancy dreams, a path that was bold

    A dim chasm, I was about to fall

    Two voices, an innocent call

    Its annoying and confusing, where to

    go

    Hard to chose or just go with the flow

    But sll the essence of righteousness

    Always will lead, a line of happiness

    A vanity of ones life

    It cut you deep, a pointed knife

    A disregard and discredit feeling

    Squeeze you vainly, feels like dying

    Said youre worthless, a shadow on

    runway

    A sad disposion, just ask and pray

    Honor yourself, console the blur air

    Close your eyes everything will be fair

    Perhaps, think what are beer

    You got your sword and be a fighter

    Believe that you have a strong soul

    And stop pacing down that wreck hall

    Life is just a game

    Your enemy will always be the same

    Full of misery, a depth of negavity

    But you can choose how to run your

    THE FOURTH FINGER OF THE LEFT HAND

    Myth or not, Vena Amoris it has. Whooooosh Thats what it speaks of.

    It has always been a part of the physiology of the human race. And it has al

    ways been a tesmony of the UNDYING love and affecon weHomo Sapiens

    kept on exhibing into this humanplace, since me immemorial. Because of

    this, it assumes it has a least amount of privilege to portray its point, though

    it is not the poinng finger, right?

    So, let me start with this, Ive always wondered if the next heartbeat is coming, have you human? You, who have so much to live for, have you ever

    counted the seconds that cks away your life?

    Hatoday, its not the worst disorder that which renders the body morbid,

    but the process of death itself. And everything associated with itthe griev

    ing process, the lost loved one, the situaonal crisis, the experience of living a

    life knowing and accepng the fact that we will someday lose someone we

    love, and facing life eye to eye and telling intently that death is not the end.

    We are here finding soluons to what might result to death, either of a loved

    one, or of a relaonship to God, family, community, etc. In straight thought,

    we stop death. That at some point, we lived our lives in terms of me, like for

    how long, and just forget about what its worth. How long we live our livesdoes not tell how worthy of a life we lived. Somemes, numbers lie, and what

    a 60 can do, makes no difference to what a 10 can do. What maers most is

    the quality of what we do to the best effort of what we are able to do and

    what we are supposed to do.

    We are here preserving the simple premise that we wanted to stay alive, to

    stay young, to stay breathing and to do what it is that we need to do. No

    offense to suicide. I guess death indeed gets the final say, how hard we might

    try to postpone it. Its the only thing that cant be undone.

    When someone we love dies, it renders us helpless and nonfunconal. And

    some say it is the most painful thing on Earth, well I dont know what cancer

    could say to that. It is in moments like these, that life gets 100% real. You

    tend to see, hear, and feel everything. Its like the world is magnified on you,

    and you got the spotlight for the whole networking sites to see, judge,

    comment, oh come on you know what I mean.

    Although death is painful, it is in itself a teacher, a strict one. What doesnt

    kill you make you stronger that is what they say; well what kills someone

    we love make us stronger, thats what I say. Holds true too, right? When you

    are dealing with death, it helps you to rediscover yourself. Death is like a co

    coon, you need to experience the process of metamorphosis in order to re

    mind you of the life thats given to you. So why waste a life that nature has

    given me to make? Give worth to your life. Although, I respect those that

    view life as not worth living, maybe at least, think of Him and those people

    who see you as the one who makes their lives worth living.Somemes, I have seen, in the ambulance or even in the saddest corners of

    hospitals, what might be the last thought a human being sees? When the

    world around you gets blurry and you take your last breath, would it be the

    end of thought? Is it the end of life? And how would it feelpainful, scary, or

    peaceful? Do we sll have me to think of the regrets in our lives, funny mo

    ments, awkward mistakes, or facial features of someone we love, or even

    certain parts of our home? What do we do when we die? Just lie there and

    wait for God or take a walk to a certain place?

    This is a tribute to all students and a dedicaon

    to my father and his chromosomes.

    ...connued from page 7 (the Fourth Finger)

    Since my fathers death, life has never been the same

    in the family. It was like the wheel of fortune has

    turned around and it was least expected. Atfi

    rst, itwas hard and unacceptable, and like every human

    being, weve tried to stop death too, unl we reached

    acceptance and move on with our lives. He was long

    gone, but in our minds, in our hearts, in our blood, he

    sll remains. A part of me is him. Yeah, life ends and

    thats a fact.

    Now, that Im embarking on this journey of walking on

    the road where he was once traveling. Lile did I know

    of how strong and of how great a father he was. He

    will never witness and see his sons grow and be a

    man, live a life and build a family.

    Therefore, no maer what happens to us in this world,

    learn to appreciate the value of your parents before

    they die, cherish every moment of it with them, and

    build a strong foundaon in your life, for you to stand

    on when the me comes and theyre long gone.

    This wring has got to lend a hand, for people to move

    on yet sll appreciate the grieving process, and not

    just keep the pain locked in a chest inside your cere

    brum. Accept it, dont hide it. As I pondered, there are

    many issues of life and death, that if we share to oth

    ers the pain we feel, we will heal. Death is just a part

    of life. How we are grateful for this life, the same goeswith death.

    Time. This is another thing we need to consider. Make

    the most of your me. Reading this would be one of it.

    Valuing this is another thing. And pung this into ap

    plicaon is a bonus on my part.

    Find comfort in these words, and make the lines be

    etched in your memory. Praccal lessons make prac

    cal sense. With these wring, always keep in mind that

    you are not alone, you are never alone. Always be

    thankful to God for everything. And by everything, you

    know what I mean.

    Life connuesyet sll, the fourth finger of the le

    hand bothers you.

    This is a tribute to all students and a dedicaon to my

    father and his chromosomes.

    CLOCK!

    Mitzi A. Escobidal

    Tick! Tack! Toe!

    Thats the clock never ending crow

    No one dares to stop them so

    Cause if you do, the world stops too!

    Time is gold as the sayings goes

    For no one can catch up every moment loss

    We cant bring the past to its future

    Because no such machine as me travel capsule

    Time is great to cherish

    Cause its value is of no price

    Every relaonship needs to nurture such me

    In order to be stronger and entwine

    Everyone believe that me heal all wounds

    Lile by lile its cure and fold

    Every second, every minute gradually unfold

    The forgiveness of a heart such moment we called

    Tick! Tack! Toe!

    Thats a clock never ending crow

    Everything stops and go

    But never the chime of a clock will do

    You Can Chose...

    Footsteps on a vague and labyrinth

    road

    A fancy dreams, a path that was bold

    A dim chasm, I was about to fall

    Two voices, an innocent call

    Its annoying and confusing, where to

    go

    Hard to chose or just go with the flow

    But sll the essence of righteousness

    Always will lead, a line of happiness

    A vanity of ones life

    It cut you deep, a pointed knife

    A disregard and discredit feeling

    Squeeze you vainly, feels like dying

    Said youre worthless, a shadow on

    runway

    A sad disposion, just ask and pray

    Honor yourself, console the blur air

    Close your eyes everything will be fair

    Perhaps, think what are beer

    You got your sword and be a fighter

    Believe that you have a strong soul

    And stop pacing down that wreck hall

    Life is just a game

    Your enemy will always be the same

    Full of misery, a depth of negavity

    But you can choose how to run your

    life freely

    TYPES OF TEACHERS

    Neseye ne eng lehet: ito yung uri ng teacher na gusto nang lahat, yunghindi masyadong nagbibigay ng assignments, nang quizzes at iba pang

    acvies pero hindi kuripot sa grado, may sense of humor at nakakarelate sa

    trip nang mga teens.

    Future philosopher: ito yung teacher na sobrang pilosopo, na dahil sasobrang ka pilosopo niya pwede na siyang maging future philosopher, yung

    nagtatanong ka tapos tanong din ang isasagot sayo, ano yun? Queson and

    queson poron?!

    Terror: ito yung teacher na nagagawang silent night ang inyong mala rockband na room, yung po nang teacher na sa sobrang terror niya takot kanang

    mag tanong sakanya sa hindi mo naiinndihang word na sinulat niya sa black

    board tuwing may quiz kayo, kaya nganga ang score mo!

    Ano ba talaga?: ito yung teacher na nakakalito, yung nagtatanong siya taposhindi mo alam ang sagot kaya tatahimik ka pero magagalit siya, kung sasagot

    ka ng maling sagot magagalit parin siya, ANO BA TALAGA MAAM?

    Ratatat: ito yung teacher na salita ng salita kahit walang nakikinig, ito yungteacher na discuss ng discuss kahit maging salon ang room, kahit maging

    bedroom ang buong room, at kahit na maging band room pa ito basta discuss

    parin siya ng discuss kahit siya lang ang nakakarinig o nakakaintndi ng sisabi

    niya, Kahit pa tulog na lahat ng students niya.

    Slang: ito yung teacher na malupet kung maka english, sobrang slang athindi naiinndihan ang sinasabi niya, paminsan minsa naman ay na sobrang

    bilis mag salita.

    Take out: yung teacher na mahilig sa home work, finish at home acvity

    at higit sa lahat mahilig sa research at iba pang mga eklabush na take out sabahay.

    Pero kahit paminsan minsan ay naiinis tayo sa mga guro naten, pero we

    should appreciate them kasi kung wala sila anong use ng mga A BA KA DA

    at 12345678? kung wala sila, anong use ng x=0 at mga intercept nayan. Kung

    wala sila we cant value books, at higit sa lahat kung wala sila ang salitang

    To be blamed

    Katya 27

    Walking along the shore

    Sea breeze was piercing to my skin

    Teardrops to that cold floor

    Oh where could I lean?

    Melancholy staring at the blank pages

    This melodramac wave that seizes

    A jigsaw, scaered pieces

    Running through my body, a diseases

    A wave in the ocean

    A great commoon

    Living in a prison cell

    Holding me back where I fell

    The gorgeous heinous way they did

    Gradually breaking me in silenceThose echoing peevish words theyve said

    Making my head roll such disturbance

    So I came up with a deep thought

    Asking why I didnt fought

    Asking why I let my guard off

    Asking why Im being so

    Im weak if this other side of me rises

    Haunng me down, a devil chases

    Frowning around, Im sick of it

    Kissing the ground, dirty feet

    I said I cant because Im not a believer

    I lted because the wall was biggerYou slap me with your big mouth, are you a

    joker

    Im not a boomerang, Im not that beer

    Easily to be drowned because I think things

    will not change

    Or is it my blind opmism to be blame?

    Bad Company

    You met him once in your youth

    Have faith in him without second thoughts

    For he lend a hand to grasp and to hold

    He seems to comfort you when your troubledBut you have doubted me one day

    As he demanded to be with you all the way

    And as he steals every penny in you pocket

    Like a termite, he undermines you health

    Its sad to note his dark side lately

    Quit on him for his a friend unworthy

    For as you while with him your precious me

    Undoubtedly, youll gonna lose your life and

    your prime

    Our Past May Wind

    Fritzie May A. Tindoy

    Lonely am I and waing

    With sorrows my heart is aching

    Watching the me of pain to pass

    And the fall of the wall that divide us

    The cold air is blowing low

    Triggers me to remember you

    Treasuring the good old days behind

    Awaits that our past may wind

    Yes, me is fast and fleeng

    And everything is constantly changing

    But theres one thing forever le

    My love for that I always kept

    People come and people go

    I was le

    with nothing to doFor seasons isnt fair

    When you steal my heart away without care

    Somemes I nearly burst into tears

    How to control my anxiees and fears

    To recover my defeat or losses

    For the love that I greatly obsess

    Though its finished and over

    Sll I fantasized like a dreamer

    Treasuring the good old days behind

    Awaits that our past may wind

    A Poem For My Family

    Family is a miracle God has given me.

    With great wisdom and gentleness

    He picked who my father and mother will

    be.

    A promise of love and sacrifice blossom,

    The one that lasts forever.

    That is how my family came to be.God never make mistakes,

    His plan is true and perfect.

    A family will be in trouble and gone is

    respect.

    But, in Gods hand, everything will be

    alright.

    Always think, family is worth the fight.

    If a family lives in devoon to the Al

    mighty.

    Then will everyone learn,

    The value and importance of family.

    My love and understanding of God,

    Will show and guide.

    What there is to know, how to embrace

    my family

    With pride.

    I intend to treasure this miracle in my

    heart.

    Today is definitely the best me to start.

    Unless you have other plans.
