            There are many experiences in our life that we undergo difficulties. There is a saying that "When the going gets tough, the tough gets going." It means that when a situation is difficult or dangerous, strong people work harder to resolve the problem. This saying could be rephrased word-for-word as: "When the situation becomes hard, strong people start working." So, let me share my experience related to this saying.

            In my third year lever in Cavite National Science High School, I undergo many difficult experiences. One of these is Research. At first, I have a difficulty in proposing a title to our teacher. All the research titles that I propose were rejected. But because of my willingness to have a research title, I kept on proposing and proposing a title to the teacher. Until she gave me a research. Then in the night, I kept on researching and researching about the plant named "Lunasia amara Blanco." I have a difficulty in researching in the internet because there were very few information that I found so I lost hope. I also went to the library to search for botany books but I failed. I even thought of changing the research title that the teacher gave me but it was too late. I imagined that I will propose and propose a title over and over again and thinking that the teacher will reject it. So, to my willingness to finish a research, I searched and searched for information in the internet until I found many information at the very end part of the site. I even slept for two hours to make a research proposal. Then the next day, I was surprised because we were only few who submitted the research proposal. I am proud of myself because when the situation became hard, I did not lose hope but I started working for my willingness to finish it.

              So, thank God that I finished my research proposal. In this kind of experiences I learned my lesson that I should not lose hope. I should be tough or strong in every experiences that I undergo to be successful.

      At last! A day to have fun! It was a very beautiful morning and the weather was good. I am very excited because I am one of the officer of the Math Club that has a specific role to do to make the program successful. Let me share one of the most unforgettable experience that I had.

      In the morning, I was very haggard because I am the contestant for the King and Queen. The one who will put makeup in my face is not yet arriving but the program is about to start! Oh gosh! I kept on praying and I'm already losing hope. But thanks God because it arrived in the last minute. My aunt suddenly called me and said to go up in the stage now. I was very excited so I went in the stage and made a pose. But to my disappointment, it was the contestants of the freshmens! Oh nooo! From that, I lost my self-confidence. So, when it was already my time to go to stage, I was very shy. But I did'nt expect that many will shout and clap after I had introduced my self. HAHA! I think that I became famous for what I did. Hahaha! It was the most unforgettable experience.

     Now, back to the math fest. After the King and Queen, the math trail was about to start. I was assigned in the station 2, in the front of Maliksi Building. I enjoyed it. Especially when the math trail participants are having difficulty in solving the puzzle. Haha!

     In the afternoon, there were many handsome and pretty students who were wearing casual dress. They were included in the Mr. and Mrs. Kapnayan. I just shouted very loud for the representative of Juniors who were Joanna and Michael, also known as Jamich <3. Woah! I love them! They are very sweet!

     There were many programs held in the math fest. These were the intoducing of King and Queen, Mth trail, Mr. and Mrs. Kapnayan, the Singing Mathematician, the Math Jinge, and many others. The smooth flow of these programs made the math fest successful. So, I am very proud to be a member of the calgeotrist society. I hope that this kind of program will be launched again next year! Woaah! Thank you Lord for a wonderful day!

      Dear Shepherd,
                    I am confused why you need to write an unrealistic poem. We all know that a person can't make a flower with thousand fragrant posies and gowns with buckles of the purest gold. These flowers and gowns do fade. I am not up to the materials that you will provide me. But I am up to the love you will give to me. I will rather accept the opportunity if you would say that you will stay with me and be with me forever. So, sad to say, I refuse your offer. Don't worry your true love will come at the right time.

                                                                                                 Yours Truly,
                                                                                                Ruviel V. Diez

            Yehey! My most awaited event of the year had come! Because of my over excitement, I woke up 3:00 a.m. and started arranging my things and many foods. When I arrive at the school, I was amazed because the students were already organized according to bus number. From there, I knew that our bus number is 7. I stocked it in my mind to avoid being lost.

            From the bus, I met our tourist guide named Kuya Jimmy. He had a good sense of humor. He made me entertained so I didn't sleep on the bus. He even started the trip with a prayer. Upon traveling, he informed us about the history of our province. He even asked question. This made the trip lively.

           Upon reaching the first destination which was the Science Discovery Center at the Mall of Asia, I felt sudden enjoyment. When I was entering the Science Discovery Center, the hair in my skin was lifting due to my excitement. We first entered the dome that looks like the earth. The one discussing was asking questions. From that, I felt nervous. Upon entering the dome, we jumped while saying "jump baby bear!". Haha! We came back from being a kid. The next station was full of fishes and smells bad odor. From there, I saw Mr. T. A fish with a girlfriend and knows how to dance "teach me how to fishy". The next station was related to earthquake. At first, I thought that we would experience the true earthquake. The land was separating into two and the buildings were crashing. But to my disappointment, it was not. It was only a platform that was moving back and forth. But I enjoyed it. The next station was the planetarium. Upon watching, I felt suddon pain in my back because I was looking upward for the whole period of time. For me, it was the most boring station. The next was related to airplanes. I tried driving one airplane but suddenly, the controller broke. I was nervous that I might pay for it. So, I proceeded to the next station. It was the Sniff-Sniff. Woah! I think I smelled my armpit from there. It was very yucky and I felt like vomiting. When I was about to exit the Science Discovery Center, I felt happy and lots of fun because I learned many things.

         The next destination was the Myth of the Human Body. I was very excited to enter there. At first, we watched about pregnancy. Woah! It was very hot and very foul smell there! I can't merely breath. Oh! this is the moment! Upon entering the Myth of the Human Body, I met our hot-headed guide that was very fast in talking. I was very interested in the internal parts of the human body. My other classmates wants to vomit already. Woah! I really enjoyed it. I learned many things.

          The next destination was the Kulturang Pinoy. I met Remington and John Pratts. Hahaha! I was star-strucked in the handsome drummer boy. He was very good and talented. Haha! But the best part was in the room where the students and teachers danced with the costumes because I saw my classmates in the power point without knowing that they are already in the video. But in the last part, I was touched in the power point about grandmothers and fathers. But I enjoyed it. It was the best destination. Upon reaching the bus, I knew that we can't go go to the forth destination because it was under construction. I felt sad and disapointed.

               And last but not the least was in Mall of Asia again where we are free to enjoy and have fun. Upon reaching the mall, I rapidly searched for the ice skating ring. We spent almost 2 hours in the skating ring but I enjoyed it even I fell many times. My favorite part was the raining of snow in the middle. Hahaha!

             Science Discovery Center, Myth of the Human Body, Kulturang Pinoy and Mall of Asia were all the destination that I reached. I think that this is the best field trip that I experienced. I learned many things although it costs too much. My payment was worth and perfect for the enjoyment that I experienced. Thank God because he did not leave me in the trip. I hope that I could experience another field trip next time.
