GAME OF LIFE

(Taken from www.zaldyalima.blogspot.com)

Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them - work, family, health, friends and spirit and you're keeping all of these in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls - family, health, friends and spirit - are made of glass.

If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be

the same. You must understand that and strive for balance in your life.

How? Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special. Don't set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you. Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as they would your life, for without them, life is meaningless. Don't let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living your life one day at a time, you live ALL the days of your life.

Don't give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying. Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us to each together.

Don't be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave. Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible to find time. The quickest way to receive love is to give; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.

Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only where you've been, but also where you are going. Don't forget, a person's greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated.
Don't be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless, a treasure you can always carry easily.
Don't use time or words carelessly. Neither can be retrieved. Life is not a race, but a journey to be savoured each step of the way. Yesterday is History, Tomorrow is a Mystery and Today is a gift: that's why we call it The Present.

WHY WE NEED GOD by Zaldy Alima

When we first come into this world, we are extremely dependent on others. We need parents or other providers to feed and clean up after ourselves. Even as small children, we sense our need for parental care and protection. As we get older, it is common to believe that we no longer need anyone or anything. Starting in adolescence, where many think they no longer need their parents. Often continuing throughout adulthood, where many think they can take care of themselves.

Mankind is not as self-sufficient as many would like to believe. We are extremely dependent on many things despite our denials.

Assuming

that one believes in God, let's begin with three simple yet significant reasons why we need God in our lives. Starting with the fact that HE IS OUR CREATOR. GOD IS THE CREATOR of the heavens and the earth, of mankind, both male and female. Even in the womb, God has a role in giving us life. He made us, not we ourselves. GOD AS OUR CREATOR knows us better than we know ourselves.

Even as the manufacturer knows his product better than anyone else, God knows our weaknesses and our strengths. He is the best source to find the answers to such questions as Where did I come

from? Why am I here? Where am I going? How should I live?

We need God because as our Creator He is the only reliable "tech support" to help us make sense and use of our lives! Another reason we need God is because HE IS OUR REDEEMER. GOD IS THE REDEEMER. Unfortunately, all have made a mess of their lives. Some more than others, but all are in need of major correction. But God offers Himself as our Redeemer. GOD AS OUR REDEEMER makes it possible for us to start anew. This He did by sending His Son, Jesus. He offered His Son's blood to redeem from our sins. We need God because as our Redeemer we have the opportunity to be forgiven of sins and to start our lives anew! A third reason we need God is because HE IS OUR PROVIDER. GOD IS THE PROVIDER of physical life itself which sustains our physical life and our spiritual strength that we need. GOD AS OUR PROVIDER has promised to meet our physical needs. If we will put Him and His righteousness first in our lives, he has promised to meet our spiritual need if we will put on His armor.

More things could be said to illustrate our need for God, but for now let these suffice. God is our Creator, God is our Redeemer. God is our Provider. Those who reject any need for God go through life with no true knowledge of self or purpose in life have no way to atone for or to truly correct the many mistakes they make, have their lives devoid of the fullness of God's providential care. How much better to confess our need for God, and look to Him for wisdom and guidance in making the best of our time here on earth, for forgiveness and renewal when we mess up our lives through sin, for providential care and spiritual strength to live the truly "abundant life". Yes, dear friends and brethren that is why we need God!

THE STUDENTS PEER ASSISTANCE CLUB, S.Y. 2010-2011

Please Support the Students Peer Assistance Club (SPAC)!!!

ELPAHIGH is making an appeal to kind hearted THS/JPENHS alumni to contribute any in-kind or cash donations for the construction of a nipa-hut SPAC chamber. You may kindly Contact the principal’s office (086 211 3125) or guidance office (09268030255).

THE STUDENTS PEER ASSISTANCE CLUB

Every school year, the Guidance In-Charge continually mediates among students brought by teachers from different year levels with problems varying from cutting classes, non-attendance, computer games addiction, gambling, vandalism, intoxicant drinking sessions within or near the campus, stealing, minor disputes and violent fist fighting, early intimate relationships and other disruptive behaviors that affect their academic performances.

During the previous school year 2009-2010, we have three thousand four hundred eighty six (3,486) enrollees in Jacinto P. Elpa National High School. The Guidance In-Charge as always, had done all that he can to be efficient in the job entrusted to him but their were times when the load of work is heavier than what his shoulders could carry. This is because of the imbalance between the number of his clients and his own limited capabilities.

For this reason, in coordination with the supportive and efficient leadership of the Principal, Madam Imelda C. Falcon, the Guidance In-Charge has organized the SPAC or STUDENTS PEER ASSISTANCE CLUB. The orientation and seminar lasted for 1 week, i.e., from May 17 to 21, 2010. The members of this club are selected students from the LRC and RBEC.

The SPAC members will help the Guidance In-Charge in the following activities:

1. Talented SPAC members in public speaking and trained further to conduct an anti-vices symposium will be giving lectures from one batch of enlisted students to another. During the enrollment period starting this school year, students with low grades if not failed ones from first year level to the fourth year level will be listed by the assigned teachers. Later on a schedule will be set for them to attend the aforementioned symposium.

2. Talented SPAC members in painting will be executing anti vices mural paintings.

3. Computer literate PGC members will be assigned as administrators, i.e., updating the elpahigh website and elpahigh facebook account.

4. Talented SPAC members in writing will be writing educational and inspiring articles. These will be posted in our ELPA HIGH Website, Facebook account and the Guidance Office Bulletin Board.

5. All SPAC members have undergone a Critical Incident Stress Debriefing (CISD) training. CISD is the method used by professional Guidance Counselors and psychologists in conducting psychosocial intervention. The same method will be used by SPAC members every time a student is referred by a teacher to the guidance office for committing a minor offense. The concerned student will undergo a stress debriefing session to be facilitated by an assigned SPAC member. All members of this club are expected to cooperate on all Catholic activities in school, e.g., they will serve as choir during the JPENHS monthly mass.

PHILOSOPHY OF CISD or simply STRESS DEBRIEFING: Openness brings awareness. Awareness brings realization. Realization causes an awakening. Awakening brings us to an enlightened state. In the Light, you will find your truth....and finally you will be empowered to change the things you need to change and accept the things you cannot change.

BATCH 2010 PROPHECY

"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you..." - Jeremiah 1:5

After an exhausting hospital rounds at St. Luke’s Medical Center, I decided to take a leave from my position as the medical center chief. I wanted to take some well-earned rest thus leaving myriad of clients from my clinic and in the hospital alike.

For many years now, I have always wanted to write a story on the whereabouts of JPENHS Batch 2010 and I finally found the right time.

I took a plane and began my journey back to the school where I graduated from 20 years ago. Before boarding the plane to Tandag City, I noticed a familiar looking guy approach me. I could not believe that it was JOHN JERRY PACHECO. He told me that he works as the manager of Novo Jeans and Shirts Basketball Team (Novo is now a multinational company in RP).

My scheduled flight was ten minutes behind schedule, so I bought the latest issue of the Phil. Daily Inquirer, wanting to read the article of my favorite editor, TONICHI TATARO. I scanned the pages and a beautiful picture caught my eye with the caption: NICOLLETE SABLAON, career woman of the year. She looked as beautiful as she was 20 years ago. After several inquiries from the management, the plane was now ready to take off. I sat on 12B, near the aisle, and decided to take a nap. Before I could even close my eyes, a stewardess tapped may arm. It was MARY GLORYFEL GUDA. She told me that MA. DONNICA SINGAYAN, PRINCESS DIANE CALAMBA and KAYE PAQUEO were international flight attendants of Cathay Pacific. From her I gathered that the pilot of the plane was Capt. GLEE SAN URBIZTONDO. Suddenly, I heard the captain speaking. Because of some engine trouble we were to make an emergency landing in Cebu.

We were billeted at Crown Regency, now owned by the successful team of AISAIA JAY TORAL, a world class chemical engineer, MICKMARS SILVANO, a successful lawyer, and the millionaire LEE JOSEPH MONTILLA who won the jackpot prize in lotto ten years ago. From them, I learned that businessmen MUFFYLAN FERNANDEZ and ED CHARLES PASIA visit the place frequently.

Cebu is a busy place even at night. I dropped by a night place only to find out that the band playing was composed mostly of former schoolmates: JONEL SARMIENTO on drums; BART AWA on guitar and DANIEL DURANO and sweetheart MILCAH PEREZ, the lead singers. It was nice to listen to them this time. They were no longer playing loud music. And I guess it’s really true that people mellow down as they mature. The owner of the place, Chef SHARMAINE GELVOSA was mingling with fellow entrepreneurs: JESSA VARGAS, MARALIE ROJO, JESSA CALO and JEMIMA OHAO.

In another table, fashion designers LEONA GARCIA, DWIGHT MARATAS, BERNARDO JIMENEZ, and MARK ARLALEJO were discussing the new set of wardrobe launched by HENZ ANTOINETTE who is now based in Paris.

The following day we were ready to fly for Tandag City. Thank God we had a nice flight!

After a few hours of rest, I decided to go to Elpa High, for the first time after graduation. I was terribly shocked to see pregnant Ms. Tac-an, to my surprise, looking young as ever. My goodness! This teacher never grows old. From them, I learned that I was in time for our class reunion at the plush Shacene Intercontinental Hotel to formally organize a foundation. On my way to the Hotel, I spotted a billboard sign: CALIHAT FURY MOTORS: “Always on the Go”. Then I remembered IAN CALIHAT, my schoolmate and thought he might be the owner.

Suddenly two speeding cars caught my attention. In its sides was the label, “K tering Services”. That must be from our caterer CARYL TERING. Before I could say anything, PAMELA SUAZO’S service mobile car and ELEAZAR AGUDO Food on Wheels came rushing by. Food, food, and more food… I was then reminded of a dietary column of Asia week columnist MARY JOY GALOLO. Food really moves people from all walks of life.

Then I heard a thumping noise. Flat tire! I had to stop at the nearest servicing station. JUSTIN GAMULO, the owner, assured me that the repair won’t take long. I was quite patient in waiting but then I saw IVY PAN, the regional accountant of the Dept. of Tourism, boarding her car. I rushed to her and hitched

a ride; she told me that STEPHANIE QUEZADA has been transferred from Manila to Butuan as the chief accountant of the BIR Regional office. She will be married to a private pilot from Calcutta, India.

As we drove through Navales Street, a three-story building loomed into view. It was an Eye Hospital. On close view, I saw CLARETH LAURON the optometrist and owner on the doorway, welcoming some eye specialists ALYANNA BALO, CYRUS SUZO and ALVIN GOPITA. They just left the 2nd branch office of The GENERICS Pharmacy.

At last we reached the hotel. As we entered we saw some friends grouped together in the parking lot – medical technologists JESSCA ARIATE, KATHLEEN QUIMPO, and JESSA TALISAYSAY talking about their recent trips to the U.S.A. About to join them, were JARRED LUMAPAY and ANA LOU AQUINO, the lady dentists of Tago.

I was startled by the voices over the microphone: Paging Lt. Col. and Mr. JOEY CRAVAJAL. Please proceed to the registration office where Majors EARL JOHN GUYANO, VLADIMIR ARADILLOS and JOEPER SERRANO are waiting for you. Though I wasn’t needed, I too rushed to see my former schoolmates.

As we were trying to organize ourselves, FLORDELIZA TORRICO barged through the door and came towards us. She just had a conversation with Famas Best Actress Awardee FLORDIMAE DAGAANG who was busy shooting an indie film with upcoming star, JEKING CUANAN. The movie was being directed by SIONY GRACE REYNA and CELESTE AGRAVIO, she said.

Five minutes later, doctors CORALENE SILVERIO and JEFF LUMANCAS asked us to go inside the conference room. Computer engineers BRITT HINLOG, DEXTER LAVILLA, and RODFORD NOGUERRA joined us along the way.

Entrepreneurs MARY GRACE SANTOS, ABIGAIL PATAN, and SHERYL SITOY were accepting donations for annual community outreach program: 10 trays of bangus from the farm of CHERRYBEN OLAYAN; 30 kilos of fresh blue marlins from MARICEL DAUT . MARK ELLAZO brought bushels of fruit from his company; and NIKO EÑANO sent export quality pastries.

Also, JOHN MARK HAGANAS provided the utensils from their house ware sales centers.

A tenor-like voice broke through the din. Without looking, I knew it was BAYANG, founder of the flying doctors. He came to recruit more doctors and nurses to reach out to the far-flung islands of the Philippines. ISA PAEADELA, VON CLAR and DAN ABRAHAM GALOS were planning to join.

Finally, computer engineers, Abegail Joy Patan and Diana Mae Tanawan called everyone to settle down. But before they could, the super slim models, PRECY CLAIRE CORDENILLO, MARICAR MORANG, and CHERRYNETH OHAO entered with their escorts PBA shots, CYRIL FERNANDEZ, REYMART CATILLO, and MARK AZARCON. Their presence brought the house down.

The Holy Eucharist was about to begin. Fr. KEVIN CLINT PENALES, fresh from Rome was about to celebrate the mass. Helping him was Sr. MICHAEL ALIGUAY, O.S.B. The choir was organized by NIKKA MORSE, the catechetical director and wife of Mayor JUAN MAQUILING.

The organizational session began. RUTH RACHO, the Philippine Biochem representative to the GLOBE program, facilitated the meeting. The agenda included the background study of the proposed projects. The main project was to uplift the living conditions of the people especially the squatters. In our outreach areas, ETHYL BUDJIONGAN of BIR, JHOLIBAR VALLAR of DepEd, and CATHERINE AMPER of DSWD cited the conditions in Barangays Bongtud, Dagocdoc, Dawis, Maitom and Matikdum. Current projects in the area included road maintenance by Engr. DONNALD BONIAO’S construction companies. RESAN PAUSAL is sponsoring free vocational classes there. NACEL ANN LEAH LINDY STAR TORRED, Philippine Ambassador to France will talk with local and national officials for possible assistance.

The bulk of the funds needed shall come from solicitations and from DOYEN CASTAÑOS, Pres. of SDS-wide exporters, and sole banker WARREN LOZADA who pledged to give a percentage of his income to the foundation. Accountants GLENDEL SAPONG, JOVELYN SUMAGANG, SHEMA GAURANO and JENNYLOU SU with economist JENNIFER ESTAL will handle the finance.

We were given a free afternoon to explore the city and trace long lost friends and relatives.

I hurriedly hailed a taxi to take me to the newest mall in the city.

When I entered the department store, I bumped into two familiar figures, my two stepmothers! Ma’am Millan and Ma’am Irong with their grandchildren in tow. I invited them for lunch and from them I gathered several information.

• JOHN VINCENT PIMENTEL was running for Mayor of Tandag for the third time. He lost in the first two and is hoping to win this time. That’s a case of try and try until you succeed.

• Doctors EMMANUEL UMALI and SHEILA MAE SAMUYA are getting married after 9 years of engagement.

• The House of Laughter of JOHNNY DIAMOLA and MIKE SILVOSA became a success especially with the help of the no. 1 stand-up comic IONA AZRACON.

• Computer engineer PATRICK CUARTERO is currently in Japan with his computer innovations.

• ALDREN SELADES, now married, with eight kids, was being groomed by Cardinal Rosales to be the next Sec. of Health. He is the true example of pro-life. Well, well, well…

• DEMIE DEGUITO retired from dancing pursue his Law Studies in Harvard University. Maj. JOHN PEREZ of the Phil. Navy promises to help him in his future cases.

• JAY PAZO has become a monk. Knowing Jay, I really find it hard to believe.

• Choreographers SHERWIN ALIMOREN and ANGELINO GRACIA were doing a world tour with their ballet performance.

We bade each other goodbye hoping to see each other again.

I went back to the hotel to take a much needed rest. While in the confines of my hotel room, the telephone rang. It was balikbayan nurse LOVELY MEDRANO. She, along with several other nurses, BRYAN JUADIONG, CRISSA LEONAR and MARGILYN LAVILLA were waiting for me at the lobby. We exchanged pleasantries and decided to go swimming at a nearby resort owned by MAY MANGATA and fiancé NEIL ALVIN GINGANE. Exhausted, I went back to the hotel praying that no one will bother me.

It was almost time for dinner when I heard a knock at the door. It was Supreme Court lawyer Atty. JESSA CALO. She was in Tandag for several court sessions and meetings with co-lawyers JEMIMA OHAO , SHERYL SITOY , ETHYL MAE SANGCO, VAUGN CLAR , and DEXTER SALCEDO.

The organizational meeting resumed the following day. The second project discussed was all about health and nutrition. Drs. JESSCA ARIATE and ROSEFEL-AM ROJO shall conduct free consultations and visitations at the adopted communities every now and then. Biologist SARRAH MAE PEDROSA shall check sanitation while Chem. Engineers GRACESHA MEL GULTIANO and LEA MARIE LOAYON shall see to it that proper medicines are given.

The third project is on the upgrading of the quality of education analysts EDELSON LINDO, ALVIN BERMILLO, and MARK WILSON DETECIO will make the curriculum designs; while MARICEL ARREZA and REY JEDDLEDON OLACO will comprise the teaching force.

The meeting ended smoothly. No untoward incident happened, thanks to Capt. MICHAEL TAYER, and policewomen CHRISTINE CABAÑA, Tayer’s fiancé and SHARMINE NOGAN of the PNP, and Air force 1st Lt. ARNCEL CALIHAT and Navy Ensign JECKER RABAGO. Immediately after the meeting, minutes were distributed by computer scientists JORES EROJO and JINKY ABARICO . An article on the ongoing projects will be written by Newsweek correspondent JESON QUINONEZ JR .

At dusk, the closing program was held with Diplomats VIVEKA CAYABYAB, JAYLANES OTAGAN, and CHERRY MAE LUMANTA as emcees. Scientist AIKO DOLORICON read an open letter to her former classmates. Ambassador HOMERO EARL ELPA presented the donation to the JPENHS Community who was invited to the program.

20 computers and printers; 10 volumes of science encyclopedias, science laboratory equipments, curtains for the AVR, sound system, aircon unit for the AVR, and two more overhead projectors. These have been the homecoming project of Batch 95.

Due to popular demand, JUNICHOL LASTIMADO, now an international singer rendered a song. Her voice was a voice to reckon with.

On my way out, I was able to gather more information about my former classmates:

Single yet available IMEE BLASCO, now a certified agribusiness economist at UP sent words that she’ll be coming late for the meeting.

Commercial model IRENE PANES was in Paris for pictorial; Chemical engineer MARY ROSE JOSOL is currently working with JADHIEL PITCHAN at NASA on a project for the next space trip of Discovery to the planet Pluto.

Tago Mayor BASILIO ESPINOZA was busy campaigning for the forthcoming election; Tennis 3rd seeded CEASARILIE SILVOZA was having rigid practices in preparation for the Wimbledon championships, and ping pong superstar RIOHI ANGELES was in China for the World Championship.

I really missed some of my former batches but I didn’t know how to get in touch with them.

I hope the JPENHS community will be happy for us. This story is humbly dedicated to them.

When I woke up, I looked for the story, only to realize that everything was just a dream.

Good luck to each and everyone and may the prophecy come true!
