Ten years from now ...

As a child, a lot of us experienced being sweetened and caressed by older people. They'll say how cute we are or how bubbly and boisterous we are until we find ourselves in labyrinth style of a conversation. In short, we cannot find ourselves anymore. And nevertheless they'll ask us, especially in school, if what we want to be when we grew up.

Most of the answers I encountered are of course, "to be a doctor", "to be a nurse", "to be a teacher" or "to be an engineer" but right now, would everyone still answer the same answers?

When I was young I always answered I want to be a doctor or a nurse. As I grew up, I opened my eyes to the reality of the world. The reality of life. First of all, the only thing permanent in the world is change. It means that my answer changed already. Haha.

What I mean is that, the answers we gave is not the same anymore. We're not even sure what will happen next year, or after five years. We cannot be sure of anything anymore.

And if I'm to be asked, where or what are you ten years from now? Me, I'll be the same Paula you know right now. I promise. But I can't really promise anything concrete like I'll be somebody someday.

So, you? As a true blue Josephian, what would you be after ten years? I'll be looking forward to your unstable answers. Kidding! :))

Freaky Friday !

Still let's hope that it's not really freaky ! O.O

This coming Friday would be the second distribution of cards. Meaning, loud pounding of hearts on our ears, big gulps, deep breaths and bulging eyes. Well maybe it's exaggeration but really, grades are big issues for students like us!

Let's admit that we would start to act like angels, abide rules, go home before curfew and all other stuff that would please our 'rents before freaky Friday. It's a way to somehow remind our parents that we've been kind enough for them to think twice before scolding us.

In the classroom, I'm sure that whenever our advisers remind us of the upcoming giving of cards, we would start to freak out in our own ways. We would start to keep asking our teachers if someone failed or if we got high or low grades. It's berserk! But as a student, anyone should get used to it.

Anyways, freaky Friday would still come. We still had a few days to explain to our parents everything that may disappoint them and of course, a third and fourth grading to fight back and make everyone proud of us again. Good luck to all of us! :D

How about you? How would you be prepared for the freaky Friday? I'll be looking forward to hearing from you! Have a nice day!

a stomach-hurting tea party :D

A few hours ago, we celebrated our tea ceremony in our arts subject. With all the food and of course, tea, why was it stomach-hurting? It's not because we ate a lot of food nor we don't have anything to eat but because of the forced-to-stop laughs or group had.


I never expected it to be so much fun. At first, I thought it would be very boring but I was really wrong. I don't know why but I think our group was the noisiest and most unfocused group among the others. I admit that I couldn't stop myself from laughing. It genuinely made my stomach hurt. But I also got full from the food my group brought.


So, the lesson I learned is that whenever you think something could be very boring, well, expect the unexpected. LOL :))

a plea for theme party

Whenever I hear party songs like "Down", "Hush,hush", "Paparazzi" and other more, I always ask myself if there could still be a possibility to have a theme party for Josephians.


Theme parties were usually held on the last Friday night before the semestral break, meaning, a big night for total fun, bonding and of course, PARTY! I experienced my first one (and hopefully not my last!) last year and it was really great. But unfortunately, we missed it so the hanging questions are "Would it be rescheduled?" "When could we have the party?" Personally, I didn't know the answer and I totally had no idea.


I know, guys, I know. I'm also looking forward to it as much as you all do. It's really sad not to have a party. After all, we still deserve one because of all the hard works we've done so far. So now, who's with me? Let's fight for our rights! Kidding. :D But I know that the school year won't end without a little pleasure for Josephians (of course, our SC officers won't allow it, right?). And who knows, maybe it would be a concert again? *wink
So let's just hope and pray that we could somehow get what we all are waiting for. :)




P.S.: Please don't forget to leave a comment, suggestion or reaction to my blog and posts. It would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

Josephian teachers stand out

In 10 years that I've been studying in SJA, a lot of teachers had already come and gone to my school life.Some of them, I get the chance to be a teacher again on another school year. But the truth is, for me, SJA teachers are the best ever!

Some people may say that I'm biased because this is where I study or whatever but I swear. I'm so proud of my teachers. They are wonderful gifts of God for us Josephians.

Naturally, I didn't appreciate my preschool teachers as much as I do now to my teachers because I just can't remember my younger years anymore. But whenever I see them on our school grounds, I was like "Hey, that's my prep teacher!" And even though most of them already resigned, I still try to remember them as much as I can.

When I went to higher levels (Grade 4 onwards) I started to appreciate my teachers much better. Also, I started to compare them to the other teachers I know. My teachers were very loving and funny and witty. I was so fond of them.

Now that I'm a sophomore student, I really, really do love my high school teachers so much. I could see how much they are devoted to their profession. Ever since I went to high school, I already learned a lot of things from my teachers.

As a student in best section, I admit that our class is often being scolded by our teachers but I do know that they have the reason why they do it to us. Sometimes it's very upsetting but after a while, I know that things would be back to normal again.


I am so thankful to God for I met these people. Generally, I could say that SJA teachers are the most intelligent, the most understanding, the most wonderful and the best teachers ever in the world. Wherever fate might lead me, whatever road I might take, I would forever keep my beloved teachers in my heart. :))

me and SJA

Whew! My first blog ever! Goodluck to me!

Eventually, It never came to my mind to create an account to any blog sites but here I am so... Let's get it on!

Since it's my first blog and my first post, I hope everyone would understand that I'm just a beginner to this stuff and I'm open for anything that would help me improve this blog.

Honestly, we're only allowed to post topics about our school so as much as possible I would relate my topics to my school life.


So, I'm actually thinking that the best way to start this blog is to share my Josephian life.

I was studying at St. Joseph's Academy since Kinder. This is the place where I literally grew up. In short, SJA is definitely my second home. I'm sooo lucky to be a Josephian.

Sometimes I wonder what would my life be if my parents hadn't let me study in SJA. What if I hadn't met my teachers and friends? I can only think of a single answer. I wouldn't be the same Paula the world knew. I might as well live in a different world and have a different perspective in life.

What do I love about SJA? Hard question. Maybe everything about it. Eventhough I'm just a sophomore student, whenever I think about college, I already miss my second home. Living outside it is sometimes unbearable. I love the people in SJA. Even if I knew some of them almost half of my life, I would not get tired of them. The teachers, my classmates, friends, the maintenance, the admin, everyone! So if you're about to ask me what I hate about my school, it would take forever to get an answer.


I think I've done my part already so you should do yours. Please drop by and let me hear from you! I would be more than grateful to welcome you. Hope we'll also be in touch for my upcoming blogs! Good day! :D
