Literary (Submission): Aksidente
Di ko na alam kung gaano na katagal ang lumipas
Ngunit, hinihintay pa rin kita
Parang tanga dito sa may gilid ng kalsada
Nagtataka kung darating ka pa.
Ang akala ko’y aabot tayo
Doon sa sukdulan, hanggang sa dulo
Kung saan payapa na ang lahat
Kung saan ang daan ay ‘di na baku-bako.
Anuman ang madaanan o masalubong
Lagi kang nariyan sa tabi ko
Maligayang-maligaya nga tayo sa biyaheng ito
Iyon ang akala ko.
Sa aking pag-idlip
Naramdaman ko ang paggewang
Bumilis na rin ang iyong takbo
Gaya ng pagtibok ng puso ko.
Ano ito? Bakit ganito?
Ayokong magduda sa’yo
Ngunit bakit ibabangga mo?
Bakit sisirain ang ating takbo?
Sa pagsalpok ng kotse
Napapikit ako’t lalo nang hindi ko maramdaman
Ang lahat ng sakit na mararanasan
Ang lahat ng sakit na dulot ng iyong kapabayaan.
Tumilapon ako at nahulog
Nahulog nang gaya ng labis na pagkahulog sa’yo
Ngayon ay nauunawaan ko,
Ako’y itinapon mo na rin, gaya ng pagtilapon ko.
Dahil sa pagmulat ko ay wala ka na
Sa kalsadang ito’y naiwan nang nag-iisa
Hindi ko alam kung bakit nandito pa ako
Ni hindi makabangon, ni hindi makatayo.
Iba ata ang dulot ng aksidenteng ito
Imbis na ako’y makalimot
Buong-buo pa rin ang alaala ko
Sa isip ko’y puro ikaw ang naririto.
Matagal na nga ang lumipas
Ngunit hinihintay pa rin kita
Umaasang ako’y susunduin mo
Umaasang ikaw ulit ang makasama ko.
Literary: Isang Oras
Mag-iisang oras na yata tayong nawawala. Hindi ko alam kung dahil ba ito doon sa nasagi mong babae o dahil ba muntik na tayong mabangga ng bus kanina. Basta ang alam ko nawawala tayo ngayon.
--------------------
Mag-iisang oras ka na ring tahimik, kaya nanahimik na lang ako. Baka kasi magalit ka pa ‘pag ginulo kita. Paminsan-minsan, tumitingin ka pa rin sa direksyon ko, ngumingiti, minsan ikaw pa ang nagsisimula ng usapan. Pero minsan na lang kasi ‘yun.

Literary: Cycle
Here I am again, walking home from school, walking the same damned alley across the same damned streets, crossing the same damned things. I have memorized this damned environment by traversing through this route hundreds of times.
In this route is a boulder. Not big enough to be conspicuous but not small enough to be moved by one person alone. This particular boulder is interesting because of the fact that it has been covered with so much graffiti that its face can no longer be seen clearly and each day, several more are added to it--names, swearwords, phone numbers. All the paraphernalia of faceless people I will never meet.
Each time I go home, there is not one time when I have not stopped by this rock, this memento of faceless, nameless people, waiting. Waiting for something, anything. But nothing happens. In a sense, the people who wrote on this rock are better off than I am. They will have legacies after they die while I will be the faceless nameless someone.
But for now, I keep on walking.
Feature: Clash of Clans: Unleashing the Warrior Within
Imagine yourself as a chieftain of a tribe or a village. You have builders whom you instruct to build Town Halls, Gold Mines, Laboratories, or even defensive walls and Archer Towers. You have your own Barracks where you train Barbarians, Archers, Wizards, or even Giants and Dragons whom you will then instruct to destroy another village either in search of loot or just to satisfy your hunger for war.If you get chills down your spine just by thinking about these things, then Clash of Clans might be the perfect game for you.
Clash of Clans is a multi-player online mobile game that is played by millions of people around the world. It is extremely popular; garnering a total of more than 100 million downloads on the Google Play Store as of now.
The goal of the game is basically to make the strongest, most impenetrable village and at the same time, launch successful attacks on other villages.
Points, or trophies in this case, are gained when you successfully defended an attack or you have launched a successful attack on another village. For an attack to be deemed successful, you should have destroyed more than 50 percent of the enemy’s structure or have taken down the enemy’s Town Hall. Attacks are rated with three stars (100 percent) being the highest rating. The same goes for a defense to be deemed successful.
The game is already gaining popularity among UPIS students. A considerable fraction of the entire population of UPIS Students is already playing this addicting game.
Grade 10 student Greg Octa responded cheerfully when asked about his experiences playing the said game.
“Parang may kakaibang fulfillment kapag naka-three stars ka sa inatake mo (There is a unique snese of fulfillment when you get three stars in an attack),” said Octa.
So, what are you waiting for? Start playing and feel the taste of the Clash of Clans. / by Macky Barrientos

Even with the graduation of star runner and back-to-back MVP Jaime Mejia (Batch 2014), this year’s team captain Rafael de Peralta has high expectations for the team’s chances. He said that the team is young but it has a lot of potential.
Former UPIS TnF team member Renzo Domingo (Batch 2013) who is now one of the team’s coaches is confident about setting a goal for the team.
“Ang goal siguro ay mabeat yung mga personal bests nila (Maybe the goal is to beat their personal bests),” said Domingo.
The whole team is in high spirits and is in good shape upon entering the competition. They have been training hard everyday after class hours and have been participating in tune-up competitions to help them prepare for this year’s UAAP season.
“Makikita niyong handa kami (You will see that we are well prepared),” said de Peralta.
“Sasabak kami sa giyera nang may dala kaming bala (We will go into war with weapons locked and loaded),” said Paolo Bartilad, a member of the team.
As the team said, there is only one phrase that will describe their performance this season: “All out.”
UPIS students also have positive things to say about the chances of the TnF team.
“Babawiin nila yung nawala sa kanila (They will take back what they lost),” said Jediael Neri, a Grade 10 student.
“Sa tingin ko babawi sila (I think they will bounce back),” said Ella Santiaguel, a member of the UPIS Pep Squad.
The team hopes that the UPIS community comes out to cheer for and support them in their events this weekend. / by Macky Barrientos and Quiela Salazar
