Good Day!

I want to share my personal biography. I am Maribeth A. dela Cruz. I was born on March 28,1991 at Trece Martires City, Cavite. My parents are Napoleon and Bernardita dela Cruz. I have three brothers: Jhun Lenard, the eldest; Marvin 2^nd eldest and Maynard, the youngest. yeah, I am the only girl.We are a very happy family. We love each other so much…

As I enter elementary I started to learn a lot of thing. I started to gain friend. By the way, I study at Krislizz Academy from grade one to grade four. Then, I transferred to Hugo Perez Elementary School and immediately go back to Krislizz Academy when I was grade six.I graduated elementary as a second honorable mention…and ready for the high school life.

I study high school at Trece Martires City National High School at Trece Martires City, Cavite as a Science Class. As I enter high school I have faced many challenges. Problems on my study, exams and project. But I am happy because I met classmates became my friends. I really had a happy high school life with them. They always made me happy.

Now I am facing the new world of being a college student. I am taking up Bachelor in Elementary Education major in Special Education at Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. I gain a lot of new friends as I enter college.

I want to be a teacher. I want to teach children that why I take up education. I want to give and share knowledge on children as a teacher we will be the foundation on what they know and what they will know on their life and surroundings. When I was a child I would always play as a teacher with my playmates.

Now, I am a few steps away with my dream to be a teacher. Only few days left and I would finish studying and it would be the start of the new chapter of my life as a teacher.

February 28, 2011

Last day of the month. Bukas ay March na.Excited at super happy ko dahil malapit na ang kaarawan ko. “Twen- teen” na ako (haha pinilit maging teenager pa rin). Malapit na rin ang araw ng aking pagtatapos sa kolehiyo.

I- share ko lang ang mga nangyari sa araw na ito.Nagising ako ng 5 ng umaga. Sa aking pagpasok inaasahan kong may flag ceremony pa, pero wala na pala. Hindi ko lang sure kung tapos na o wala talaga. Sa pagsisimula ng aming klase sa first subject isang magandang balita na ang natanggap ko. Nakakuha akong 97/100 sa midterm namin sa nasabing subject. Pagkatapos ay nagreport sina Jhoy at ate PJ. Pagkatapos ng aming klase ay nag merienda kami courtesy ng tinda ni ate PJ.

Sa sumunod na subject namin na Social Dimension (Social Dime)nagbigay lang si Sir B ng activty or assignment na ipapasa sa Miyerkules. Pagkatapos naglunch na at naghintay sa pagsapit ng oras ng klase namin sa ENGL 9. Sa kasamaang palad hindi kami nag klase, nag attendance lang. hay sayang ang oras. Pagsapit ng alas kwatro ITEC na. Gawa na ng post s blog na requirement s subject na ito. Sa pag uwi diretso sa computer shop. Gawa na naman ng i-popost s blog.

Sa pagtatapos ng araw na ito isang masaya at magandang pagsisimula ng bagong buwan para sa taon na ito.

To end this I would share my favorite songs:

Thanks to You

Thank you for teaching me how to love
Showing me what the world means
What I've been dreamin' of
And now I know, there is nothing that I could not do
Thanks to You

For teaching me how to feel
Showing me my emotions
Letting me know what's real
From what is not
What I've got is more that I'd ever hoped for
And a lot of what I hope for is
Thanks to you

No mountain, no valley
No time, no space
No heartache, no heartbreak
No fall from grace
Can't stop me from believing
That my love will pull me through
Thanks to You

Oh... There's no mountain, no valley
No time, no space
No heartache, no heartbreak
No fall from grace
Can't stop me from believing
That my love will see me through
Thanks to You
Thanks to You

For teaching me how to live
Putting things in perspective
Showing me how to give
And how to take
No mistake
We were put here together
And if I breakdown
Forgive me but it's true
That I am aching with the love I feel inside
Thanks to You
Thanks to you

*****************

That's What Friends Are For

And I, never thought I'd feel this way
And as far as I'm concerned
I'm glad I got the chance to say
That I do believe I love you

And if, I should ever go away
Well then close your eyes and try
To feel the way we do today
And then if you can remember

Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
For/In good times and/in bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for

Well you came and opened me
And now there's so much more I see
And so by the way I thank you

And then, for the times when we're apart
Well then close your eyes and know
These words are coming from my hearts
And then if you can remember

Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
For/In good times and/in bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for

(Repeat)

*****************

I dedicate the song “Thanks to You” to my parents. I thank them for racing me well and fortaking care of me. I love them very much. For my family for loving me and supporting me in everything I have faced.

I also want to thank my friends for always being there anytime I need them everytime I need a shoulder to lean on. I want to thank them for being beside me for good times and bad times. And I want to tell them that I as well would always be there beide them for good times and bad times.

It's me... Joy

..Good day everyone!!!
I just like to share something about myself.. I am Joy V. Timbad.. I am 20 years old, this coming March 25, is my birthday and i will become 21 years old. Actually i accept gifts whether it is expensive or not.. haha.. well, kidding aside, just wanna share with everybody that i am the only child of Judy and Ronilo Timbad. i haven't meet my father since young. i grew in manila and studied elementary and high school in Pasay City. When i was in fourth year high school, my mother decided to transfer me in Alfonso national High school and i have no choice but to follow her. Even though it's hard for me to adjust, I enjoyed the company of my new friends there. I also met my special someone in my new school so everything is well planned by the lord god..haha

I dreamt of becoming a teacher. Since elementary, i wanted to become a teacher. I felt happy when i knew somebody gained knowledge from me that's why when I reach my first year college, I became so interested in the field of education so I decided to take up an education course. I didn't have feelings of regret because i know it's my choice. All i have to do is to study harder and to focus until i graduated. It's my choice at the same time, my parents wanted me also to become a teacher because according to them, it's a lifetime job even though the salary is not that big.

During my previous years, it;s really hard to study because there is a pressure in our course. We learned that we have to maintain a gpa of 2.0 and before entering second level, we have to take a qualifying exam and if we could pass it, that's the only time that we are allowed to enroll in second year, luckily, i passed the exam. Seemed like we all passed the board exam. Some failed and i felt pitty for them. I also felt happy that i was so lucky enough. Aside from that there are lots of things, trials i have encountered in my life as a student in our university but i can say that i surpass all those challenges in god's grace. Now, i'm a fourth year student of the university and i am very excited for our graduation day to be help also in open field in our school on March 30, 2011. It's just a tentative day but hopefully it will be the right day. I wanted to become a teacher and i was so excited. I can't wait for it.=) I want my parents to be proud of me and i wanted to start today..

Now, i just want to share something about what happened to me today.
Today is Monday, Feb. 28, 2011. I was late in my first subject in school but i learned a lot in Janin and Jhoy's report. It was all about our major subject and it seemed like we just have a review for this day based on our previous lesson in Sped. After our class, we had a picnic.. My classmates and i, bought from Princess's foods; the bread and the chicken skin. Before entering in the second subject, i really felt full..=) There.. our luch break came.. I decided to eat lunch in the registrar's office because ni have to help Ma'am Fontalba in the office after eating. I helped her to distribute college clearance for the students. I enjoyed a lot because i missed my work in the office. It's been two months since i decided not to work there because of my part time job outside rthe school. Now that i'm back, i was so happy because i really love this!.. When it's almost two, i decided to go to administration building to look for my classmates because we have another class which is English. But then when i reach the office of our professor, i saw my classmates just chatting for each other. I realized that our professor was not around. I just enjoyed chatting with them also until such time that one of the faculty member of our professor asked us if we just want to sign an attendance sheet and then we can go because our professor was not around and don't even leave a message for us. I felt sad because it's been two months that we have no formal meetings. When it's already four o'clock, we went to another building, which is the college of engineering and information technology for our last class. We used the laboratory room particularly the internet room for our computer subject. We did an activity that will help us in our projects for this final exam. i was so happy that i learned all those things this day because it was my first time to do that and i will never forget it because it's what i call learning. . They say that everyday is a learning process and i believe in this saying. We came to school everyday for us to gain knowledge at the same time to learn from the subject matter that we have for each subject. That's why students go to school everyday icluding myself except weekend. I wanted to change my life, not the total part of it but only some of it's parts. I would like to trim down all those negative thoughts in mind and negative things that happened to me because i wanted to become stronger enough not only for myself but for my family. As i've said, I am the only child so i believe that i really have to do what's best for us because i'm ther only superstar. I have to proved to my father that even though he left us, we can stand on our own, especially now that i proved that i can do things on my own without his help specifically in terms of financial aspects. I am joy, i should be strong, i should be thankful, and most of all, i should be HAPPY..

Being A Child

“Childhood is where our tools for survival are discovered and sharpened: curiosity; acceptance of others; imagination; appreciation of time and place; sense of adventure; and determination that does not give in to challenges, but recognizes inevitable limitations.”

Namimis ko na yung dati naming buhay.. walang gulo, walang away, puro saya at ligaya. Pero life is not always like that. Yan ang isang bagay na natutunan ko sa buhay ko ngayon. Sa bawat pagdagdag ng ating mga edad ay siya rin namang pagdagdag ng mga responsibilidad na nakaatang sa ating balikat.

When I was 7 years old, malaki bahay namen, pero gawa pa yun noon sa kawayan. merong dalawang kwarto, may kusina, malakin salas, kahit na ang lupa pa ang sahig,, at wala kameng banyo,, ahahaha, dun kame naliligo at naihi sa likod bahay, tapos pagpupupu na dun na kame sa cr ni lola napunta,, he he, walang trabaho si ina at ang ama ko naman ay isang factory worker. Pero ganun pa man, masaya kame lagueh,, lagi kaming magkalaro ng kua ko. Hindi kami pinpayagang lumabas ng bahay pero dahil pareho kaming pasaway ng kapatid ko. Tumatakas kameng dalawa. Dun kame dumadadan sa silong kapag tulog na si ina sa hapon. Hanggang sa magdilim na dun pa lang akme uuwe at pagdating sa bahay. Maiinit na ulo ni ina ang naghihintay. palo dito at palo doon. Mura dito at mura doon. pero nag enjoy naman kame ni kuya sa labas.. he he, everyday yun yung eksena sa bahay namen.

Until dumating sa buhay namen si yeth, siya yung bunso, makulit, pasaway, cute, laging tumatakas. sya ang pinaghalong kami ng kuya ko. si kuya yung makulit, pasaway, ako naman ang cute at ang parehong meron kami ni kuya. mahilig tumakas at maglaro sa labas. Bilang bunso, lagi namin siyang pinagbibigyan sa anumang kanyang gustuhain, kasi pag umiyak yun lagot kami pareho ni kuya.

After several years, ang dami ng nagbago. pumapasok na kami pareho ni kuya ng elementary. naglalabada na si ina,si ama dun pa din nagtatrabaho, si yeth lumalaki na din. Naging bato na ang bahay namen. pero hindi na sa dating kinatatayuan ng bahay namen, dun na kami sa tabi nga bahay ni lola nakatira. pero mas maliit na compare dati, maliit na salas at kusina, isang kwarto, gayun pa man may sarili na kaming cr.

Pero magulo, lagi na lang nagaaway si ina at si ama. si kuya di na ako sinasama na lumabas ng bahay, Keya ayun tengga ako sa bahay. bad trip aman oh... pag amgaaway si ina at ama, damay lahat ng miembro ng family.. pati kami na nakikinig lang nasesermonan din.. unlike nung mga bata pa kami na lagi silang magkasundo kahit wala kaming pepay.. sana pede pa ibalik ang panahon.. sana pede pang baguhin ang mga nangyayari ngayon. Sana lagi na lang kaming mga bata..

Living in this world is full of surprises and changes.. one day in our life changes will occur but we wil have a memory of our childhood and that would never change.

Sometimes in our lives we all have pain

We all have sorrowBut if we are wise

We know that there's always tomorrow

Lean on me, when you're not strong

And I'll be your friend

I'll help you carry on

For it won't be long'

Til I'm gonna need

Somebody to lean on

Please swallow your pride

If I have things you need to borrow

For no one can fill those of your needs

That you don't let show

Lean on me, when you're not strong

And I'll be your friend

I'll help you carry on

For it won't be long

'Til I'm gonna need

Somebody to lean on

If there is a load you have to bear

That you can't carry

I'm right up the road

I'll share your load

If you just call me

So just call on me brother, when you need a hand

We all need somebody to lean on

I just might have a problem that you'd understand

We all need somebody to lean on

Lean on me when you're not strong

And I'll be your friend

I'll help you carry on

For it won't be long

Till I'm gonna need

Somebody to lean on

Lean on me...

(peborit song ko yan..whaha)

Dedicated ko yan sa friends ko..

it describes true friendship.. leaning on talaga..

TOMORROW

The sun will come out, tomorrow

Bet your bottom dollar

That tomorrow, there'll be sun

Jus' thinkin' about, tomorrow

Clears away the cobwebs and the sorrow 'til there's none

When I'm stuck with the day that's gray and lonely

I just stick out my chin and grin and say, ohhh

The sun will come out, tomorrow

So you gotta hang on 'til tomorrow

Come what may...

Chorus:

Tomorrow, tomorrow I love ya, tomorrow

You're always a day away

The sun will come out, tomorrow

So you gotta hang on 'til tomorrow

Come what may...

Tomorrow, tomorrow I love ya, tomorrow

You're always a day a--way!

yung nasa taas, sina Ghea at ayen yun.. feel na feel ang pagkanta..

nanood ako ng PGT (Pilipinas got Talent), may nakita akong kumakanta na visually impaired. Nalimutan ko nga kung ano ung name nia eh..napapaiyak ako sa kanta niya..

naalala koung mga TROPA kong BULAGERS.

i miss them very much especially whenever i hear the songs we sang together before.

hindi ako singer, pero whenever i hear those songs, sila lagi ang naiisip ko. kaya napapakanta na ko. Ito yung unang song na natutunan ko from them.. pag narining niyo talaga silang kumanta, mata-touch ka..before, akala ko sa kanila, mga pasaway.. abnoy ba.. but my life changed from the time i got to mingle with..

i begin to love them as they love me back..Masarap din palang matawag na "MAAM" because i know that it came from the bottom of their hearts. Masarap makikanta sa kanila and talk about the differenrt issues and their comments about it.

they do act like a normal children

nanonood ng tv

naghahabulan

naalalaro ng taguan

nag ba-bato-bato-pick..

minsan nga mas magaling pa sila sa akin eh..

mas malakas kasi ang pakiramdam nila

nakakamiss din sila..lalo na pag sooper naging close ka sa kanila.. it seems everything will changew on you..

how i will i am with them forever.. how i wish.. how i wish..

A simple life of a princess

It's me.PJ. the princess of joy!!!

I thank God for giving me life and letting me live my life in this world. August 27, 1989 was a precious time to my parents and other three siblings because their Princess was born and they named it Princess Joy and that was my name. I'm the youngest among four girls. They gave me all the things that I need when I was a child. I really treasure all the memories being with my family. My life at that moment was very memorable and complete. They are all with me at times that I need them even though there are times that we fought with each other but it is normal as the relationship of siblings .

I joined different contest when I entered elementary and I was very active in participating in different programs that we had in our school and community. I joined declamation , poem , singing , talent search contest. I really love what I am doing. As days past by my other sisters need to priorities their own lives , they got married and it was very sad moment for me because they would be far from me and they will make their own family. But still my other sister is still with me.

Everyday, every hour, every minute, every second of my life was full of challenges that I need to faced. But there is God who will help and guide me during that times of mourning.. My childhood years had full of memories. It includes the first time I had my crush during grade one in CDC(Child Development Center). It was very memorable because this guy gave me an apple and some love letters and i tried to hide all of those letters but my sister saw that letters and she teased me. My mother told me that its normal to have a crush but they are all surprised that i had apple and letters from my classmates. As I grew older I understand that was just an inspiration for me. But this guy has been my schoolmate in other school. I was very ashamed when i got to see him in our school. Remembering that we have exchange of letters during Grade one. Childhood years were very exciting and I really enjoyed it being a child. But my life as the princess of my family wouldn't stop there. There is another chapter of my life would begin.

One morning the Princess woke up with her one sister and her mother living in a small house and there's no food to eat. The princess really get sad about what she saw. She thought it was just a dream. But her mother told her that , it was for real. But where is my father? the princess asked, your father lives in other house with her mistressed. The princess get very sad, but still her sister and mother comfort her. This was the time that the princess needs to strive hard for her be able to continue her studies. Her other sisters also help them. This was a very rough road life of the princess. She learned how to be more resourceful and be matured enough.

The challenges in the life of this Princess didn't stop there, she is now in secondary education in a private school, but they didn't have enough money for her to pursue studying at that school. The mother of the princess felt very sorry because she can't do anything for her daughter because her other daughter was in last year of studying in Nursing. But still the princess wanted to pursue studying in that school. The princess showed a stubborn attitude towards her mother. The Princess had an idea. There is and available scholarship in their school but she needs to clean the school specially in the library. It was not easy for her to be accepted in that scholarship because the school administrators thought that their family could still support her studies. They didn't believe on what the Princess had told them. But the princess didn't stop praying that she could get the available spot in the scholarship. And the princess made it. She was very happy that she got the scholarship. She really owed it to God. Without Him I couldn't got the scholarship.

As days passed by , the Princess did her job with great pride and honor, even though some of her classmates and other people around her is teasing her because she is now cleaning the library. It was very painful for the princess but still she needs to do that for her to finished her studies in secondary education. She excelled in their class and in fact she had been a member of their theatre named"teatro de san gregorio". She joined the Hiyas ng Sining in their town in Indang, Cavite. She was first runner up. Despite of all the challenges and the people who didn't believe on her, she still continue her dreams. Her sisters and mother are very proud of their princess. She had been very lovable princess to their family even though there are times that she fought to her sister and mother.

In everything that she do , she always do it to the Glory of God. The Princess had built a strong to our Lord Almighty. The princess finished her secondary education in Saint Gregory Academy.

Another page of her life will be opened.. A life of being a teenager is not easy for her. Her other sister went to the other country. She lives with her mother in their small house. Another challenge had begun in the life and in the family of the princess. they are being pushed out on the house that they are renting because they had a delayed of payment. That's why they moved in the ancestral house of her mother. They didn't have source of electricity and water supply. It was a very tough situation for the princess. She tried to be strong for her mother . This time she will be entering in college. a problem occurs. they didn't have enough money because her sister had just flew from other country. She cried and prayed to the Lord that she could help her to enter college. A scholarship had been offered in Cavite State University, she took the exam for that scholarship and she passed the exam. She had been a scholar of JacksonVille Cavite Association for five years. She also had other two scholarships. She really studied well because of her goal. She wanted to achieve that goal. She had been an academic scholar of their school. Her life had full of excitement. She joined the election for the barangay. as barangay kagawad last three years ago. She didn't made it but still it gives her more credits. She joined organizations on their school and still joined the election for student council but still she didn't made it. Try and try until you succeed that's her goal in life.

Some days are bad,

Some days are good,

But all that matters is

there's another life to live....
