Camille The Pretty Mermaid

              This is an essay I made about Camille, The Pretty Mermaid, for my English class last year. 

            Guys, do you know that feeling when the person you’re closest to suddenly hurts you? It sucks, right? Well, that’s exactly what my girlfriend, Camille Cutler, has made me feel. She’s made me feel like a failure, but with that, she has actually made me a winner, and I love her for that.

                Failing hurts. A person making you feel like a failure hurts even more. But, when you experience pain, the weakness you have inside your soul is removed. You become stronger and better. This is why Camille is my hero;  she has made me an even stronger, and better person.


                Well, how can I describe this guardian angel that I have been blessed with? First, she is my biggest critic as she never hesitates to inform me of my shortcomings. For most, this is a bad quality for a person, but this simply shows how caring and thoughtful she is of me, as this shows that she wants me to improve and get better. She is also incredibly resilient when it comes to me, as she has never given up in making me become a better person. Despite all the mistakes I have done, she’s always been there by my side. The reason why she has all of these is because of one important quality; fear of God.  That is the characteristic that I love most about her. Her being God – fearing has given her the power to be able to make me a better person for her, for my family, and most importantly, for Him.



                So, she’s made me feel like a failure, yet here I am saying that I am a winner. She’s scrutinized me because of my shortcomings, yet I claim that she’s a caring and thoughtful person. Does that even make sense? Well, I failed, I learned from my mistakes, then I got good. She criticized me, I got hurt, yet, I got good. I got better. I became greater compared to what I was before, and I really appreciate that.  Probably most of you, if not all, have been scrutinized by you parents at least once in your lives. That feeling sucks right? Your parents, the people who brought you up, bringing you done all of a sudden. The next time this happens, what will you do? Will you sulk in the corner and remain depressed? Or, will you take note of what your parents said, improve, and be even better than what you already are? Think about it.

Troy Mallillin is a Blue Eagle. Now what?

By
(Photo Credit: Janine Torre, The GUIDON) Against the JRU Heavy Bombers, Troy Mallillin finally made his much awaited debut as a Blue Eagle. Just seeing him in uniform was already enough for fans of the Blue Eagles to go wild. Seeing a NCAA Juniors MVP wear an Ateneo jersey feels weird, for any fan. Seeing a former La Salle Greenhills player wear the blue and white? It's like an Ateneo High School boy wearing a La Salle jersey. Oh.. wait... Obviously, any Atenean is brimming with excitement right now after managing to secure (or is it really secure?) the services of the former NCAA Juniors MVP. But what else are the other implications of Troy Mallillin taking his talents to Katipunan? Let's break it down: In the short term Right now, don't expect Troy to get a lot of minutes. As mentioned before , Ateneo is filled with a number of forwards in Mike Nieto, Vince Tolentino and Raffy Verano. Shaun Ildefonso is no longer in that fray of forwards after taking his talen...

It's a honor anyone would grab in an instant. To be named a Batang Gilas standout is something special. But to be named a Gilas Cadet member at the tender age of 17? It's something else. At first glance, it means that you're a player who's more than ready to make it to the big leagues. You're not just expected to do well in the collegiate level. Some expect you to go ahead and dominate in an instant. Jonas Tibayan...

Dipsy-doos, blocked shots and a ton of protein shakes: On Gian Mamuyac and his growth

By
(Photo Credit: Leo Lopez, Fabilioh) Ten players stood inside the Blue Eagle Gym on a rainy Saturday afternoon, but fans in attendance were eagerly waiting for the explosion of one man. Jolo Mendoza was being hyped up as the next Kiefer Ravena. In a second-round match-up versus a young Adamson Baby Falcons team, the table was set for an eruption by the Season 77 Finals MVP.   The wait was excruciating. Jolo was seemingly picking his spots, choosing to pass the ball instead of pulling up unconsciously. The fans were starting to get bored. They wanted the scoring barrage they paid a ticket for. All of a sudden, a tall, lanky kid with frizzy hair galloped coast to coast, flew up high and attempted a dipsy-doo lay-up with ease. The referee blew his whistle to signal a foul. Fans jumped up, with their faces saying "OH SHIT WHO IS THAT GUY?", while the coaching staff of the Blue Eaglets' face screamed, " Bakit di mo na lang diniretso Mamu!!!!"  We all know G...
