He chews on his bottom lip – something he does when he’s nervous or excited, or both. I nudge his left side with my right elbow, trying to let him know that I’m ready for my surprise, but he doesn’t feel it. He takes a deep breath and slowly unzips his bag, taking his time in revealing what’s inside. “I know you’re looking,” he says just as I was about to peek over his shoulder for a better view. I immediately shake my head and close my eyes but he doesn’t notice.
A few seconds later, I feel something soft tickle my nose. I open one eye out of curiosity and I see two brown eyes staring back at me. I open my other eye out of excitement and I see a black nose and a smile made from red thread. I blink a few times and after a while, I realize that a green bear is right in front of me.
He shakes the bear a few times, making it appear as if it was dancing. “Hi,” he says in a voice that almost doesn’t sound like his own. “My name is Peter and I’m here to make you happy!”
He puts Peter on his lap and plays with its ears, his lips forming a smile. “I was walking around the mall today,” he tells me. “I finally had enough money to buy the sneakers you promised to get me. But, I passed by the toy store you always dragged me into and I saw this on display.” He takes a deep breath and looks up at the sky. “I decided to buy it for you because I know how much you loved stuffed toys and I know how much you adored the color green.” He moves on to Peter’s paws, letting its soft material caress his fingers.
“I know you think I’m a fool for not buying the shoes I’ve always wanted and instead, bought this bear for you…” I shake my head again but he continues. “But, I’ve already wasted all my chances in seeing you smile, making you happy, and letting you know that I really truly am grateful for you and all the things you’ve done for me. So here I am now, with a bear in my hands and a brain in my head that’s making me say all these things I should’ve said a long time ago but was too afraid to, hoping you’d listen because I really need you to,” he tells me as his eyes start to water.
He takes a deep breath and a tear rolls down his cheek. “Thank you for all that you’ve done for me. I wish I did the same for you. Thank you for staying when everyone else left. I wish I stayed by your side, too. Thank you for loving me with all your heart. I honestly wish I had told you that in all the years you’ve been with me. I really, really do love you.”
He looks to his left where I am sitting, where a white marble is embedded on the grass. My name, date of birth, date of death, and a short message are all engraved on it in beautiful cursive. “I miss you terribly. I miss you so. But no matter how many times I say it, I know...” he gently puts Peter on the grass, right beside me, “that you’re never coming back.”
As he lifts himself off the grass I grab his hand. He doesn’t feel it – he can’t, but he stops nonetheless to look at me. “Thank you,” I begin, “for visiting me, for Peter, and for telling me all the words I’ve always wanted to hear.”
I smile at him and he smiles, too.
And in that moment, I felt as if I was still alive and that he and I were together, but that’s a happy ending and those only happen in fairy tales.
And sadly, we aren’t in one. / by Mary Jane

He sits down on the grass, beside me, with his hands protectively on his backpack. “I brought you something,” he says, a small smile dancing on his pale pink lips. I raise my eyebrows questioningly but he doesn’t see them. I ask him what it is that he brought for me but he doesn’t hear me.He chews on his bottom lip – something he does when he’s nervous or excited, or both.

Song (Submission): The First Day We Met
The First Day We Met
by Ma. Janella Francisco
I still remember the first day we met
And how you said hello to me that day
Then I thought, “How good can this even get?”
I never thought that one word can brighten up my day
Ever since, when every time I see you,
My heart would skip a beat
And then, my mind would do a triple flip
And at night, before I go to sleep
I’d look at the night sky
And say:
“I wish I may, I wish I might
I see the stars are all out tonight
Can you grant this really simple wish?
I just want to be with you
Even for just a minute or two
Or maybe an hour or day will do
Just be with you
I don’t want to scream it out aloud
‘Cause maybe love was what I found…”
I remember that every time when you pass me by
You would smile with a greeting or two
But all that’s gone now
Please come on and take a bow
All those memories with you
Just seems to be too good to be true
Too good to be true
But still:
“I wish I may, I wish I might
I see the stars are all out tonight
Can you grant this really simple wish?
I just want to be with you
Even for just a minute or two
Or maybe an hour or day will do
Just be with you
I don’t want to scream it out aloud
‘Cause maybe love was what I found…”
Just be with you…
How I wish…

Noong
Panahon ng Hapon… este panahon kung saan buo pa ang swan sa Swan Quad, madalas
itong paglaruan ng mga estudyante. Napakagandang tingnan ang Swan Quad dahil sa
naggagandahang estatwa ng swan, isama mo pa ang kulungan nito na tinatawag na
Bird Cage.
Noon, ang
Swan Quad, kasama ang Multipurpose Hall, ay lugar kung saan ginaganap ang prom
ng mga estudyante. Pero dahil sa ulan, ang swan sa Swan Quad ay tuloy-tuloy na
nasira.
Pero kahit
nawawala na ang swan sa lugar na ito, Swan Quad pa rin ang tawag dito. Bukod sa pangalan ng lugar, ang natitirang
alaala na lang ng Swan Quad ay ang Bird Cage. Dito tumatambay ang ibang
estudyante upang kumain, mag-chismisan, mag-iyakan at iba pa.
Dito, kitang kita nila ang napakagandang
tanawin ng Swan Quad o Swan Garden. Isa rin itong tulay ng departamento ng
English at departamento ng Practical Arts. O ‘di ba? Matagal nang bestfriends
ang dalawang departamentong ito.
Hindi rin mawawala ang mga vandal dito. Ang
mga estudyante nga naman, pati semetong upuan ng Bird Cage, sinulatan.
Sayang na
lang at hindi masasama ang Bird Cage sa bagong paaralan. Pero kung mga estudyante
lang ang papipiliin, tiyak na isasama ang Bird Cage.

Isang
lugar ng tanghalan, kainan, at maging ng daldalan. Isang tambayang hindi
pinagsasawaan at hindi kailanman malilimutan. Ang Multipurpose Hall ay ang isa
sa pinakadinarayong lugar sa UPIS, mapa-estudyante, guro, ipis, daga, alikabok,
agiw, at iba pa.
Pinangalanan
itong Multipurpose Hall dahil nga ito ay mayroong maraming gamit. Kung hindi
ninyo nalalaman, ito ang dating canteen ng UPIS. Halos lahat ng mga
pagtatanghal ng mga estudyante ay dito ipinepresenta. Dito rin ginaganap ang
Junior-Senior Promenade ng hayskul.
Kilala
rin ang Multi bilang isa sa mga lugar ng kababalaghan dito sa UPIS. May mga
nakikita na hindi naman dapat nakikita, mga nararamdamang hindi naman dapat
nararamdaman... na hanggang ngayon ay nananatili pa ring isang misteryo.
Kaya
naman masasabi naming isa ito sa mga lugar na lubos naming mamimiss, sapagkat
ito ang saksi sa lahat ng tawanan, iyakan, sayawan, kantahan at kung anu-ano
pa. Siguro’y nalalapit na ang aming pamamaalam sa lugar na aming kinagisnan, ngunit
sa bawat pag-alis ay may panibagong darating. Ang Multi man ay amin nang iiwan,
ang mga alaala naman ay aming dadalhin at ipagpapatuloy sa aming bagong
tahanan. Paalam Multi.

Nagugutom ka ba? Nauuhaw? Iilan lang ang
puntahan ng mga estudyante ng UPIS para diyan…ang Canteen. Maraming pagkain,
inumin at kung anu-ano pang panlaman- tiyan ang mahahanap dito. Pero, alam niyo
ba kung ano ang Canteen noon?
Noong araw, ang Canteen ay isa lamang open
field kung saan idinaraos ang mga work program. Ito ay tinaguriang Practicum
Venue noon.
Pero nang dumating ang late 70's, ang
Canteen ay kinuha ng PA Department at naging under ng Food Service University.
Nalipat lamang ang Canteen sa UPIS nang ito’y mag-privatize. Pero kumpara noon,
mas mura, masarap, maayos at dekalidad ang mga pagkain sa Canteen noon. Ayon
nga kay Ma'am Flor: "Mga bata lang naman ang nagpapangalan sa mga lugar
natin dito sa UPIS eh."
Nakalulungkot lang isipin na ang canteen ay
mawawala na at magiging mall na. Ngunit mapapalitan naman ito ng mas malaki,
presko at sana, mas murang paninda sa ating bagong eskwelahan. Mawawala na nga
ang Canteen, ngunit ang mga alaala na nagawa natin dito ay mananatiling buhay
at masarap balik-balikan.

Ang Boston Garden ay malamang,
hindi niyo na makikita ngayon. Natabunan na kasi ito ng adobe para gawing
parking lot ng UP Town Center. Pero dati, marami kang makikitang mga masasayang
mukha doon tuwing tititigan mo ang Boston Garden.
Hango ang pangalan ng Boston Garden
sa isang sikat na stadium ginagamit ng Boston Celtics (isang koponan sa NBA).
Hindi ito isang lehitimong hardin, o open field, pero naging sikat pa rin ito
kaya ito tumatak sa isipan ng mga tao, kaya ito ang naisipang gamitin ng mga
dating Isko upang ipangalan sa open field ng eskwelahan.
Dito rin sumikat ang isang
mag-aaral ng UPIS, at kinilala siya sa katawagang: “Hari ng Boston.” Siya ay si
Kuya Karl Villaluna. Paano siya naging Hari
ng Boston? Masasabi lang naman na kabisadong-kabisado niya ang mga
dimensyon ng natatanging basketball court ng UPIS na matatagpuan dito. Walang
nakatatalo sa galing niya. Walang-mintis ang mga tira niya sa bola, kahit pa
hindi niya ito tignan.
Dito sa field na ito idinaraos ang
mga klase sa PE, maging ang Intrams ng paaralan. Tuwing dismissal, makikitang
may mga naglalaro ng Frisbee at Soccer, kung minsan pa nga’y may
nagva-volleyball pa. Dito rin kadalasang nananaghalian ang mga estudyante,
siguro dahil presko at maaliwalas. Kadalasa’y, dito rin tumatambay ang mga
nanay, lola at bantay nila dahil off limits sa mga hindi estudyante ang ilan sa
mga corridor ng paaralan.
Naging saksi ang Boston Garden sa
paglipas ng panahon sa paaralan. Marami na ring alaalang iniwan ang lugar na
ito. Hinding-hindi ito malilimutan, maging parking lot man ito ng isang mall.

With their motto, "No bull at my school", the campaign aims to make a positive change in eliminating all kinds of bullying through spreading their advocacy in schools all over the world.
Their act was filled with singing and dancing but Stop the Bull's highlight was a skit on how bullying is in New Zealand, using it as example to inform the students on why bullies harm others and how they become bullies. A speech was shared about an experience from someone bullied, and on how he discovered why their school bully became one.
The group also shared a little about New Zealand's culture by teaching the students a special dance called Haka. The event ended with a prayer and a promise not to bully or to get bullied. / by Czarina Sikat and Alissa Villareal

RJ taught the students to play a few basic chords so they could play the song “Twist” by Chubby Checker together. Ryan Cacho, Carlo Gaco of 9- Platinum and Keith Guzman of 6- Sapphire received free guitars after playing with him onstage.
He also performed “Johnny B. Goode” by Chucky Berry and “Muli”, one of his favorite compositions.
RJ also jammed with Profuzion, a band composed of Grade 10 students, as they performed “Magbalik” and “Noypi”. He also chatted with his young fans and signed autographs after the event. / by Anne Avendano and Red Rivera

Noong mga panahon ng habagat, sa ami’y bumaha. Maraming gamit nami’y tinangay at nakuha. Pero nagtatanong pa rin kami: “Papa Herbz, may pasok ba?” Kung kalian magbibihis na, tsaka sasagot siya, “Suspendido po ang klase sa lahat ng antas.” Dapat lang! Kailangang aming problema’y malutas. Wala kaming tirahan, pagkain o kumot. Nakisisiksik sa evacuation centers, at mga klasrum na malamok. Nakatutulog nang nakatayo sa isang sulok.
Feeling ko talaga’y may galit ka sa aming mga taga-kyusi. Noong biyernes nag-suspinde ang buong NCR, bumabaha na sa buong Maynila pero may pasok pa rin kami?! Hindi naman po sa hindi ko gustong pumasok pero wala naman po kasi kaming hasang at palikpik para sisirin ang baha papuntang paaralan! Ayaw din naman po naming mabagsakan ng mga sanga ng punong nakalbo dahil sa habagat. Isa lang po ang nais kong itanong: Ganun na po ba ang tingin niyo sa aming mga taga-UP? Matatapang, matatalino, walang takot kahit kanino? May takot din naman po kami. Lalo na kung papapasukin kami sa paaralan. Hindi sa pagco-commute pero sa possible naming pagsugod sa baha.
Wala naman po akong problema sa mga bagay na ito. Ang tanong ko lang po ay: Nasaan kayo? Nasaan kayo noong mga panahong kami’y binabaha’t nag-iisip kung kami’y mabubuhay pa; kung makaliligtas sa delubyong nananalasa? Palagi ka na lang sa telebisyon nakikita o ‘di kaya’y sa radyo naririnig. Mapawi ang aming dusa kung sa amin kayo’y haharap. Mapapatunayang mahal mo ang Quezon City at mga taong nasalanta. Wer na u, Papa Herbz? Magpakita ka…

Song (Submission): Even If All Things Fall Apart
Even If All Things Fall Apart
by Caitlin Vea Norona
My love, my promise to
you
I’ll give you everything
I can
The time I spend with you
Is like being in a time
with no end
All the things we’ve been
through
Is like being in a meadow
filled with dew
A man like you only comes
once in a lifetime
That’s why I want you to
know
Until the earth is still
turning
And my heart is still
beating
Till the raging seas are
still flowing
And the mountains are
still standing
The light has turned from
bright to dark
You’d always be a part of
me
Even if all things fall
apart
When I’m with you, I feel
closer to heaven
You guide me through
everything
You act as my angel
For you’d do anything
To fix all the
misunderstanding
Life is like a slide,
full of ups and downs
But at least you could
try again and turn things around
For...
Until the earth is still turning
And my heart is still beating
Till the raging seas are still flowing
And the mountains are still standing
The light has turned from bright to dark
You’d always be a part of me
Even if all things fall apart
Even if all things fall
apart

Literary: Three Years, Three Words
For almost three
years I’ve been going back to a single memory, one that I could never reminisce
with anyone about. Except with you.
That point in time
was perfect, like a scene from a movie. At the center of a darkened field
surrounded by looming trees with laughing students hiding behind the trunks,
our silhouettes were facing each other. You asked me what it was that I wanted
to say but the tone of your voice hinted that you already knew. With my heart pounding in my ear, I told you
three words.
Afterwards, I ran
to my best friend and cried. I don’t think you noticed.
I carried on after
that with you being the only structure I had at the moment. But even that you
broke down as you left. It was foolish of me to think that saying I love you
would make you stay. Those words are heavy but never heavy enough to keep
anyone from leaving.
It didn’t seem like
you felt anything close to love towards me considering you left for someone
else. It didn’t take you a long time to act like it never happened. For three
years, you’ve been avoiding me. Trying not to ask anything from me as much as possible,
not even looking me in the eye when you talk to me. It was pathetic of you. Or
was that your way of being guilty?
What were you supposed
to be guilty of anyway? We were both just lying to each other, weren’t we?
It was fun while it
lasted, whatever it was that we were three years ago, but all I really want is
to be at peace. All I really want is to believe it never happened too.
So I’m letting it
go.
I loved the kind
things you told me to cheer me up. I loved the silence that hugs us when we’re
out of things to say. I loved the plans you made for us that we never got to
do. But what I never really loved was you. / by Morpheus

“Malaki
yung pasasalamat ko sa [UPIS]. More than just academics, social awareness ‘yung
natutunan ko dito” – Kara David
Noong
nakaraang Agosto 15, ang UP Alumna na si Kara David ng GMA News TV ay bumisita
sa UPIS upang ibahagi ang dalawa sa kanyang mga dokumentaryo; Gintong Putik at
El Fraile.
Ang
dokumentaryong Gintong Putik ay nagsasalaysay ng buhay ng isang pamilya sa
Bicol na may mapanganib na hanapbuhay kung saan ay kinakailangang sumisid sa
putikan upang makahanap ng ginto.
Ang
ikalawa naman niyang dokumentaryo ay tungkol sa isang konkretong isla sa
baybayin ng Maynila na nagsilbing isang battleship noong World War 2 na ngayo’y
pinabayaan na.
Isang
open forum ang isinagawa matapos maipalabas ang mga dokumentaryo.
Si Kara
David ay nagtapos sa UPIS noong 1990. Nagtapos naman siya sa UP Diliman bilang
cum laude sa kursong Broadcasting Communication noong 1995. /ni Celine Medina, Deneese Montalbo, Lance Reblando at Red Rivera
abot-kamay,
Abot–Kamay, isinagawa muli
Ngayong taon, inilunsad muli ng Kamag-Aral (KA) 7-10 ang
proyektong Abot–Kamay upang tulungan ang mga nasalanta ng Habagat nitong
Agosto.
Hinikayat nila na magdala ng relief goods ang mga estudyante
mula Kinder hanggang Grado 10, tulad ng mga de lata, tubig, bigas, instant
noodles at iba pang agarang pangangailangan. Ang bawat baitang ay naatasang
magbigay ng mga nakatalang aytem.
Target ng KA 7-10 makalikom ng 100 relief packs at sila
mismo ang mag-aabot nito sa komunindad. Kung hindi naman ito aabot sa 100
relief packs, ibibigay na lamang ng pamunuan ng KA 7-10 ang mga relief goods sa
Citizens Disaster Response Center (CDRC); Isang non-government organization at
ang CDRC na rin ang magpapa-migay ng mga relief goods sa mga tao.
Ang huling araw ng pagbibigay ng mga relief goods ay ngayong
Agosto 30 ngunit hinihiling ng KA na ipagpatuloy pa ang pag-aabot ng donasyon
ng mga estudyante. /ni Bea Cao, Joshua Paulino, Emerson Sandoval at Alissa Villareal
