not show off MYSELF to others.

12. I am DEFINITELY not an Emotionally Motivated Output (EMO). But sometimes, you could consider me

16. Someone told me, "You are too business-minded~". She even added that I should have better taken BUSINESS related course such as Management or Marketing.

places in the Philippines with LOVE.

     Coconuter as he refer himself, David Eric Poarch originally rooted from the land of Subic, Zambales, where he had spent 7 years before entirely going abroad. The Subic Naval Base is the turning point of his parents for it is where their crossroads met.  His mother, Marilyn Marang, who is a Filipino teacher and his father, Robert Poarch, an american navy man who happened to be transferred from Subic to Texas in 1993. 

       This occurrence made David's family, including him, oblige to leave Philippines and in which also, brought a momentous change in his life. For more than 13 years since they have migrated to Texas, he deeply yearns for his beloved Philippines,  where he grew up and earned lots of wonderful memories. Even from the start, David definitely wanted to stay on his hometown. He find it hard to fit in and adapt the many changes in his newly-known surrounding, and which it made him feel really stress. He was even ask by a classmate, "What are you?". Every tease he gets contributed to his becoming of unsociable and loner person.  But in spite of these, he found the strength to say that he has a descent of half-Filipino and half American. And through passing time, regardless of all the struggles he have met, he did manage to cope all of these, he even excelled in his academics and became more competitive than ever which made him successful. From the Pearland High School, he graduated as a valedictorian and gained a full scholarship in Ivy League Rice University, pursuing the course in electrical and computer engineering that paid-off all his every effort and sweat he made through the years. He is certainly not just your typical 20-year old Fil-am boy you would know. He is a true man with not only brains but with also a great humble heart.

their Psychology class.

*I heard someone yelled here SEXY! Yah~ Oh well, sure, he is!!*

     In the end, however, after schooling in Ivy League for 2 years, he went back home to his motherland. Withstanding just having $200 on his pocket, he managed to live alone in a house vacated by his maternal grandmother who also migrated in the States. And as often as not, he goes trekking for him to reabsorb the Philippine culture he had missed. Plowing the fields would not definitely be a major concern for him because he really enjoys doing such work.


     In due course, David will be a regular contributor of a magazine which is dedicated to OFWs based in Dubai so-called as Ilustrado and which said to be launching soon.

Whatta Shame!

Today, I have something special to present to you (NOTE: I am doing this because my copy of our school paper was *intentionally or accidentally?! just kidding~ XD* misplaced by my gorgeous sister V^_^) - it's a back issue of one of my featured articles, this one is entitled Cheating: A Shame! This article was originally entitled as: Cheating: A Foe (if I wasn't mistaken~!) and it was located in the opinion section on our HS official publication or school paper. 

Okay... Without further ado, here it is, douzo~!

**************************

      Some students like us are in immense relief once the weekend comes. We hope that it is already Friday for us to give ourselves a gargantuan  break for a long strenuous working of assignments, the tedious talk and stunning ticking-off of our great teachers, an endeavor in projects just to pass the deadline in last two minutes, and especially for the outrageous and nose-bleeding exams that we are all experiencing.

      For the rest of our school days when the time that there are homeworks, seatworks, quizzes, long examinations, cheating is always present. But the thing is, why can't we avoid such cheating? How can we steer clear of this? What will be the effect of this unto us?

      We've always known that cheating is a bad custom. Few of us are hard to pass it up particularly if it becomes a habit. One starts to cheat when time is not well managed. As soon as time runs out he will have no choice other than to cheat or else he will have a disgraceful low grade and the worst of all, he might fail. But for some reason, idleness and frivolousness is the rational behind. If one could only just have time-management and proper implementation of it. What is the use of the virtues and good morals we have learned in our studies principally in Values? We should also apply what we have learned from our parents and elders. We should learn to avert this kind of norm; have self-control. Otherwise, one will begin to depend on others and will not be capable of doing things on his own. In the end, you will be regretful and you will continuously say to yourself, "If I could just turn back time..."

      Remember that none of us was born a knucklehead. You should just have self-training; always keep in mind that first thing comes first. Don't practice what they call cramming habit; once that the deadline is near is the only time that you will pass your work. Have self-discipline for it is the key to success. Also, develop the habit of reading in advance, especially before coming across all sorts of examination like long and short quizzes, seatworks, assignments, and the like. And all in all, read (do not just glance on it, or do not just run through the pages only to enjoy seeing the colorful pictures) any reading materials especially in English, for it boosts our reading comprehension particularly our language fluency and proficiency.

Moreover, one should never consider oneself an inane person. It will become a fact if you do such thing; do not be so pessimistic. We should think a million times before we decide, we should also take all the consequences of what we are doing. Learn by heart that one false move, one reckless decision, everything will be lost, but whoever never made a mistake, never accomplished anything.
