Literary: Ang Misteryo ng Admin Office

3/18/2014 09:25:00 PM Media Center 1 Comments

Papasok na dapat ako ng Admin Office para bumili ng bluebook pero bago pa man ako makadaan sa pintuan, hinarangan na ako ng isang janitor.  Bawal raw pumasok ang mga estudyante doon. Tinanong ko kung bakit pero tinanggihan akong bigyan ng sagot.

Iniisip ko kung paano ako makakapag-quiz sa Bio ngayong wala akong susulatan. Nagtitinda sila ng bluebook pero bawal pumasok. Nagtaka ako kung anong mayroon doon. Bakit bawal ang estudyante sa parteng iyon ng paaralan.

Kumalat ang mga bulung-bulungan. “Halimaw! Halimaw,” tinatago raw nila sa paaralan. Sabi naman ng iba, sa office raw ay may mga alipin at mga droga. Kuwento pa ng ilan, doon daw naninirahan ang totoong Lorna.

Kaya isang gabi’y pumasok ako nang walang nakakaalam. Bawat yapak ay dahan-dahan. Tingin dito, lingon doon… Isa-isa kong binuksan ang mga pintuang gumagawa ng maingay na tunog sa nakakabinging katahimikan. Wala, walang kababalaghan sa aking mga dinaanan… liban sa isa. Isang kuwartong nakasara. Naglakad ako palapit roon at dahan-dahan kong inabot ang aking kamay sa doorknob. Nasa akin na ang pagkakataong malaman kung ano ang nasa loob nang bigla ng may sumigaw ng “HOY, BA’T KA NANDITO?!”. Dali-dali akong tumakbo palayo at hindi kailanman lumingon. Napakabilis ng tibok ng aking puso pero mas matulin pa ang takbo ng humahabol sa akin. Pero nauna ako at nakatakas. Ligtas ako ngayon.

Sa susunod na flag ceremony, binanggit ng isang guro ang tungkol sa isang taong pumasok sa Admin Office isang gabi. “Wag niyo na ulit susubuking pumasok doon,” ang eksaktong mga sinabi niya. May nagtanong, “Sir, bakit ng aba bawal ang estudyante doon?” Walang binigay na sagot ang guro kaya mas naging determinado akong makapasok at malaman kung ano ang tinatago nila doon. May tinatago ba ang office sa amin? Naubos na ang brain cells ko kakaisip.

Nagpagabi ako muli sa eskwelahan at sinubukang tiyempuhan ang pag-alis ng mga janitor na nagbabantay. Pumasok ako at tulad ng huling beses na ako’y pumasok, normal pa rin ang kapaligiran. Nakita ko ang nakasaradong pintuan at natukso ako muling pasukin iyon.

Palapit ako ng palapit at bumilis ng tibok ng puso ko. Inisip ko kung totoo kayang may halimaw doon o kaya mga nakatagong bangkay ng mga tao. Hinanda ko na ang aking sarili sa aking matutuklasan nang muli kong hinawakan ang doorknob. “Posible kayang ‘di ako makalabas ng school ng buhay?” Tanong ko sa aking sarili. Sa pagkakataong ito, sinugurado ko nang walang makakakita sa akin.

Nagpunas ng pawis, nagsuot ng gloves at inabot muli ang doorknob. Unti-unti itong inikot at binuksan ang pintuan. Madilim… Pumasok ako nang walang nakikita, hindi ko mahanap ang light switch. Binuksan ko ang flashlight ko at nakita ko ang isang table!! Naka-imprenta sa isang gintong plaka ang pangalan ni Maam Ruph. Mayroong note sa mesa niya… Laking gulat ko nang makita ang mga salita:


“Huwag papasukin ang mga estudyante sa Admin Office, madumi ang sapatos nila.”

Literary: Liham Para kay Flappy Bird

3/18/2014 09:20:00 PM Media Center 0 Comments


Minamahal na Flappy Bird,

Kamusta ka na? Nang-iirita ka pa rin ba ng mga taong walang magawa sa buhay? Baka naman nakalimutan mo na ang tunay mong pagkatao? Puwes, nais kong ipaalala sa iyo na ikaw ay isang bibeng nagpapanggap na ibong “lumilipad” sa pagitan ng mga berdeng tubo na nilalabasan ni Mario.

Pero nais kong malaman kung ano ba ang tunay na kwento mo. Yung totoo, wala ka bang magulang na nagturo sa iyo nung bata ka pa lamang kung paano lumipad? Meron ka bang masamang karanasan na naging sanhi ng pagiging sensitibo mo kaya’t kaunting dikit lamang sa mga tubo ay nahuhulog ka na agad? At ano nga ba ang ginagawa mo diyan sa mga tubong iyan? Hinahanap mo ba ang mga baboy na kumuha sa itlog mo o hinahabol ka ni Silvestre? At please, magbawas-bawas ka naman ng timbang para mas lumaki naman ang mga pakpak mo para makalipad ka nang matino.

Nais ko lamang din na malaman kung ano ang meron sa mga misteryosong tubo na iniiwasan mo. Ano ba ang silbi ng mga tubong iyan? Ano bang dumadaan diyan na napakaimportanteng hindi mo maaaring tamaan? At bakit ba hindi iyan magkakonektado? Eh di sana kung hindi rin pagdudugtungin ay nilakihan na lang ang mga pagitan nito.

Ngunit sa kabila ng lahat ng mga bagay na ‘di ko maintindihan, nagpapasalamat ako dahil tinulungan mo akong magkaroon ng pasensya at ma-handle ang aking stress.

P.S. Regaluhan mo naman ako ng bagong Iphone. Naihagis ko eh, kasi nung tumama ka sa tubo, nasa 14 na puntos na ako. / ni Katrina Cayron at Vinz Villanueva

Feature: Somebody That I Used To Know

3/18/2014 09:03:00 PM Media Center 0 Comments

Kung hindi niyo kilala kung sino itong taong ide-describe namin, malamang lang na di ka taga-UPIS. Sikat na sikat kasi siya sa UPIS, at sa sobrang sikat niya, aakalain mong artista siya. Pinipilahan at hina-hunting kasi siya lagi ng mga estudyante, mas lalo na kapag perio season.  May kwarto nga sa loob ng science lab na para lang sa kanya, at kung swerte ka ay masasaksihan mo ng libre ang pagkanta niya ng cover niya sa kanta ni Jireh Lim na ‘Buko’. O di ba, artistahin!

Bakit ba siya laging pinipilahan at pinupuntahan sa kwarto niya sa science lab? Bukod kasi sa pangangarap na maririnig nilang kumakanta siya ng ‘Buko’, may ibinibigay siya sa mga estudyante na sobrang pinapahalagahan nila, pero hindi ‘yung autograph niya ah.

Ito ang nag-iisang bagay na hinding-hindi mo dapat kalimutan kapag may test kayo sa math, science, o ekonomiks. At bukod sa katabi mong malamang ay meron, at sa teacher mong nasa kabilang dako pa ng building, ang artista sa may science lab lang ang natitira mong pag-asa kapag wala kang dala.

Pero bago mo pa makuha ang gusto mo, kailangang mong sundin ang ilang hakbang na siyang “batas” na dito sa UPIS. Una, kailangan mong munang ibigay sa kanya ang iyong ID. Mukhang gusto ka niya kasing kilalanin. Actually, kahit nga ID na kaklase mo ay pwede na. Hindi ka pala niya gustong kilalanin. Bakit pa nga ba? Eh sikat siya, eh ano ka? Susunod, kailangan mo ring pumirma sa kanyang kwaderno ng mga nakakontrata na niya tulad mo. Matapos gawin ang mga ito, ay makukuha mo na.

Kung taga-UPIS ka, siya rin ang una among maaalala tuwing kakantahin itong linyang ito: Now you’re just somebody that I used to know. Aminin mo: pinaltan mo ng pangalan niya sabay kinanta ‘yung linyang ‘yan. / Ni H. Atela, B. Bagnes, A. Dacoco, C. Diaz, A. Liwag, at D. Saunders

“Gdoxwjasdgvn?” “Po?”

3/18/2014 08:56:00 PM Media Center 2 Comments

Kilala mo ba siya? O ang mas magandang tanong: Narinig mo na ba siya? Kung ‘di mo siya kilala, siya iyong nakaupo palagi sa bungad ng *******. Hindi mo siya halos mamamalayan. Kapag nasa teritoryo ka na niya, dapat mong talasan ang iyong pandama. Ibang klase siyang kausap dahil lahat ng kausapin niya ay sumasang-ayon na lamang sa mga sinasabi niya. 

Itago natin siya sa codename na “The Silencer”.  Nakapanayam namin ang ilan sa mga estudyanteng naranasan nang makausap ang The Silencer at tinanong kung ano ang kanilang mga napag-usapan. Ang ilan sa mga sagot nila ay:

“…Ewan.”
“Jusko.”
“Ano daw?”

Kapag napadayo ka sa lungga niya, ay naipatong ang iyong bag sa ‘di dapat patungan, bigla siyang susulpot sa tabi mo at akala mo bubulungan ka na alisin ang bag mo doon. ‘Yun pala ay sinisigawan ka niya ng lahat ng hinaing niya sa mundo.

Kapag magpapaprint ka na ng iyong mga ini-type at ini-research, lalapitan ka niya at siyang magsasalita. Sasagot ka naman ng kung anong ipapaprint mo, pero ang ‘di mo alam ay nagkukwento na pala siya ng kanyang talambuhay. Sasagot-sagot ka, pero ‘di mo alam ang sinasabi niya. Tsk tsk.

At kapag ika’y nagsawa na sa katahimikan, nanaisin mo nalang na maglaro sa labas. Ngunit bago ka makatakas, ipabubulatlat niya muna ang bag mong ipinatong mo sa ‘di dapat, at titignan kung may matatangay kang ‘di dapat. Magsasalita pa siya habang nagchecheck, pero sa kagustuhan mong lumayas na sa kinaroroonan, magpapasalamat ka na lamang at kakaripas ng takbo.

Sa kabila ng lahat, mabait naman siyang tao. Hindi siya pipi; sadyang mahina lang siya magsalita. Baka siya’y nakikibagay lamang sa lugar na kanyang kinaroroonan. At kung dati, hindi mo siya kilala, ngayon ay kilala mo na siya. Kaya kapag may narinig kang sumigaw sa dulo ng first floor corridor…

                                                                        …malamang ay hindi siya iyon.

BABALA: Kung Mahulog Ka, Bahala Ka!

3/18/2014 08:51:00 PM Media Center 6 Comments

Kilala ng buong UPIS si Lino Licuanan.

Kung hindi niyo natanong, sikat ang estudyanteng ito hindi lang dahil sa kanyang katalinuhan, kayamanan, at nakapabangong katawan.  Ang pinakatanyag na katangian ng binatang ito ay ang kanyang malagong 6-pack abs na mas matigas pa sa tustadong tinapay mo.

Isa siya sa mga pinakasikat na miyembro ng Yakal Basketball Club (YBC), ginagamit daw ni Lino ang isport na ito upang mapanatili ang tigas at sigla ng kanyang katawan. “Eat your vegetables,” dagdag pa niya.

“Hindi biro ang maging katulad ko,” ani niya, “hindi ko na nga malaman kung biyaya o sumpa ang maging kasimpogi ko.”

Kasalukuyang nahihirapan ang binata sa kanyang pag-aaral bilang graduating student.  Hindi siya makapag-pokus dahil sa maya’t mayang pagtetext sa kanya – lalake man o babae.  Minsan nga ay muntikan pang ma-confiscate ang kanyang cellphone dahil sa pagtawag ng tagahanga na itatago natin sa pangalang “Edrylin”.

Nang makapanayam ang ilang estudyante, inulan pa rin ng papuri ang binata.  “Si Lino ay isang biyaya ng Maykapal sa lahat ng nabubuhay sa mundong ito,” komento ng ka-batch niyang si Andrew Pulumbarit, “halos siyam na beses na akong nahulog sa kanya ; Wala na akong nais pang baguhin sa katawan niya. Perpekto siya para sa akin.”

Tuluyan ngang kumakalat ng “Lino Fever” sa eskuwelahan.  Sa katunayan, sinubukan pa itong pagkakitaan ng kanyang mga kasamahan. “Sana nga mga pictures na lang ni Lino ang ibinenta naming sa function. Siguradong lalapgas ng 600% ang kabuuang profit namin!” sabi ng isang nakapanayam. 

Tunay na isang milagro sa lupa ang kagwapuhan ni Mr. Licuanan, pero kung inaakala niyo na ito lang ang kanyang maipagyayabang, nagkakamali kayo!  Maituturing siyang isa sa mga pinakamatatalino na miyembro ng kanyang kinabibilangang batch.  Kung hindi niyo natanong, nagagamit niya ang napakaraming termino sa biology bilang parte ng kanyang mga pick-up at pambobola sa kanyang mga inaakit.  Kailanma’y hindi pa siya nabibigo.


Kaya sa mga estudyante, guro, at staff, magsilbi sana itong babala.  Mag-ingat sa nakahuhumaling na titig at bisig ni Lino Licuanan. / ni Jemuel Aberin, Anthony Dacoco at Luis Perez

Abstain wins, but still submits appeals

3/18/2014 08:43:00 PM Media Center 1 Comments

Official results of the Year Level Organization (YLO) and Kamag-Aral (KA) elections were released last March 13 at the ramp area.

Abstain managed to win against a few candidates running for a slot in a year level organization. This is despite not announcing its candidacy and exerting effort in campaigning.

Even if Abstain won some of the YLO positions, it submitted an appeal to the current Senior Council (SC) last March 15. It wanted a recount of the scores, or if possible, a redo of the whole election.

"I just want to be certain that there wasn't any cheating involved in the election," Abstain said. "Serving different batches will be fine, but serving the whole school would be my dream, so I really want several spots in the Kamag-Aral."

Chino Raynon, president of current SC, quickly replied regarding Abstain's appeal, "Hindi ko na matatanggap ang appeal dahil tapos na ang day allotted para sa pagsusubmit."

According to the election schedule, submission of appeal was set from March 13-14 only.

"I wasn't aware of the schedule, but I accept my defeat," Abstain stated. "I'll just have to think about something else to get that spot. I'll do whatever it takes," it added with determination. / by Vinz Villanueva

YBC rises through the ranks

3/18/2014 08:40:00 PM Media Center 1 Comments

Yakal Basketball Club (YBC), UPIS’ all-star basketball team, has won against all challenges since its founding last November 2013.

The team boasts of an outstanding 21-0 record, defeating highly acclaimed UPIS teams such as Solar Boys and Tropang Balugs. Their most recent victory against archrivals Narra Basketball Association (NBA) last Friday, 21-18, earned the YBC a spot in the history of UPIS sports teams.

Founded by Josiah Chua of 10-Yakal, it is composed of high-profile seniors Adam Lopez, Benz Nacpil, Luis Perez, Lino Licuanan, David Matabang, Sano Amante, and Erwin Hermosa.

The YBC’s prowess has caught the eye of local hottie Freddy Pajarillaga of 10-Ipil. “They’re really good,” Pajarillaga said, “I wish I could play as well as them.”

Pajarillaga expressed his intention to join the team, but his ball handling skills did not meet the YBC’s standards.

The YBC’s games are scheduled every Friday, 7am - 9am at the UPIS Basketball Court. / by Jemuel Aberin and Luis Perez

Literary (Submission): Dear Future Wife

3/06/2014 08:01:00 PM Media Center 1 Comments

To My Happiness,

There is something in this world that no one has seen yet. They say it's so gentle, sweet, and warm that you would yearn for it once you have. That's why the world kept it hidden; so not just anyone can get their hands on it. However, I think I found it.

I found it in you. Your reassuring smile, picking me up from my failures. Those eyes, oh, those pristine windows of heaven. Each look would send tens and thousands of stars falling from the sky. Your hands, similar to those of Midas', only that each touch springs joy worth more than all the gold in the world. Of course, how could I forget your heart that never ceases to amaze me? Your kindness and compassion unparalleled by anyone I have met before. Finally, your soul that is similar to mine for we are one. "Soulmates" as they would call it. All of these, it's you. Only you.

Do you remember? When you turned from your desk to face mine and our eyes met? Do you recall? That moment, when God reached for my heart, showed me paradise. I somehow knew. A tad bit surreal and whatnot "love at first sight" might be, as others would say. I don't care. I only asked for your name but what you gave me can't be expressed by any word known to man. Four years for that sweet "yes"-- it was worth it. You are and you will always be worth it.

Remember when I told you when a person loves, he or she should love without any conditions? Not for a ring, not for a certificate, not for assurance and especially not for money. I would still marry you even without those. My sole reason for loving you is because you are you. Just being yourself with me, completing me, that's more than enough. I am yours.

When we vowed for forever, it doesn't promise a life together free from problems, sadness, misunderstandings. Forever doesn't mean a perfect relationship. I learned that "forever" simply means spending each day together trying to be "perfect" for the other. Not letting a day pass without saying "thank you" or "I'm sorry" and "I love you." I won't promise. I will be your forever. For better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, 'til death do us part.

I love you.

Your Forever,
Franz

Literary (Submission): Dear Future Husband

3/06/2014 07:56:00 PM Media Center 0 Comments

Dear Future Husband,

First of all, I'd like to thank you for choosing someone like me to be your wife. I'm definitely not perfect and, like everybody, I come with my own set of flaws. Despite knowing this, however, you accept and love me as I am.

As of now, I don't know who you are or what you look like but I'm positive that you're absolutely crazy, considering that you can put up with me and my quirks. You must be pretty special yourself, with the kindest heart and the sweetest intentions. That's the reason I'll fall for you, right?

I've always pictured in my head, the way we'll meet and begin our one-of-a-kind romance. I'll be the ambitious introvert, paintbrush in hand, transferring the sunset in front of me onto the blank canvas and you'll be the outgoing photographer capturing the same thing with your vintage camera. I'll glance at you a few times and you'll do the same until someone finally breaks the silence and starts a conversation (I'm not sure if that's you or me). After all the small talk, you'll take a look at my artwork and laugh at how sloppily it was made and probably crack a joke about how a fifth grader could do better.

Since then, we'll be like free spirits, unafraid to take risks and be ourselves. We'll share the same interests but at the same time respect each other's differences. We'll sit down and do absolutely nothing. We'll listen to the same indie track and take long walks as we talk about whatever comes to mind. Sure, there will be times when we'll fight over silly things and times when it seems like the world is against us but I think all we really need to do is laugh it off and everything will be fine.

The way we'll meet or the person I imagine you to be might stay solely in my fantasies. When you first meet me, you might not even expect me to be your future wife. But I've learned that life has a way of being unexpected. Sometimes even crazy.

See you soon.

Your future wife,
Ana

UPIS to elect new student leaders

The filing of the certificate of candidacy (COC) for the upcoming student council elections ended last Tuesday, March 4.

Students interested to serve in next academic year’s Year Level Organizations (YLO) and Kamag-Aral (KA) submitted their accomplished COC forms to the Senior Council (SC) which serves as the Commission on Elections (COMELEC).

The campaign period started yesterday and will end with the Miting de Avance on March 11.

Elections will be held on March 13, 7:00 am for Grade 6 students and 12:00 nn for Grades 7 to 9. Official results will be released at 5:00 pm on the same day. Candidates may submit an appeal until 5:00 pm of March 14.

SC president Luis Raynon of 10-Yakal is hopeful that the next crop of leaders will make him proud.

“Sana tumulad sila sa ‘min,” says Raynon. “Or kung posible mas magaling pa.”

The announcement and oath taking of winners will take place during the flag ceremony on March 18. / by Anthony Dacoco and Luis Perez

Akinse hosts JS Prom 2014

3/06/2014 07:11:00 PM Media Center 0 Comments

This year's cotillion participated in by selected students
of Akinse and XIV. (c) Jib Fernandez
Batches 2014 and 2015 gathered to celebrate a night of glamour and grace in this year's Junior-Senior Promenade, dubbed Silver Screen, last February 22 at the Celebrity Sports Plaza, Capitol Hills, Quezon City.

The prom was similar to an awards night and the program's segments were inspired by Hollywood movie titles such as "A Walk to Remember," "The King's Speech," and "Enchanted." The motif was silver, gold, and black. Guests included Grades 9 and 10 advisers and teachers and the UPIS administration.

A turn-over ceremony to represent the transfer of responsibility from seniors to juniors was held. The banner of excellence was handed over by Jasper Valentino to Macky Barrientos; the torch of light from Jaime Mejia to Pricila Aquino; and the key of responsibility from Chino Raynon to Cheska Ardon.
