competitive than us.

Bible Preaching: An Unexpected Yet Unforgettable Experience
Who am I to preach? Who am I to share God's words given the
fact that I’m a very sinful person? These are the questions that sink in my
mind when my classmates wanted me to join the presentation in bible preaching
on our school. I want to refuse; honestly I reacted violently when I heard
their request. I'm a sinner, so bible preaching was very awkward for me. The
only reason why they wanted me as their representative is because, according to
them, I can deliver my words clearly to the people when I speak in front. They
saw this while I'm reporting for our subject matters. But this time it’s a very
different one!
I did
nothing but to follow what they want since I don't have any participation in our
“Christian Living Week”. My classmate, Bro. Richard, taught me how to preach
because he's a worker. He gave techniques and tips. He even explained my topic.
But upon studying the topic that was given to me, I am so confused and afraid
because I don't' know what will happen when the day of the contest came.
Actually, my aim was not to win. What I wanted to happen was I'll be able
deliver my topic well.
When that
day came, the contest, I am very worried because I failed to memorize the lines
that I will say in front. But bro. Richard told me that it's okay as long as I
know what my topic is all about. I don't have to memorize my lines word by
word. So when they called my name to stand in front and start preaching. My
fear and anxieties are gone. But while I'm talking in front, the people have no
reaction; they are just staring at me. I was worried. Am I making them feel
sleepy? Maybe they don't find me as an effective speaker. I finished my topic
in time and they clapped afterwards. But sorrow comes next because I am
thinking why they were so quiet while I'm speaking.
When the
contest ended, I went to my classmates and apologized for what I did. But they
reacted differently. They said that I have nothing to feel sorry about since
it's a good job. I don't want to believe them because for me, they are just
making my feelings at ease. I also ask them why the people are not reacting
while I'm talking. Their answer was, “You caught our attention that's why no
one reacts or talks while you are preaching.” I feel glad after hearing that, I
don't know if they are just fooling me or what but I really felt happy
afterwards.. Even my instructor, Sir Tykes, pinched my ear and congratulate me
for what I've did. So I am very thankful to God because of the result of the performance.
Though I
didn't won, I am still very thankful and glad because God let me try this
opportunity. And luckily, it was a successful one.

Chorale Actual
"Pasasalamatan namin ng walang hanggan
Pupurihin namin ang dakila mong ngalan
Ihahayag
namin ang iyong kadakilaan
Hanggang
wakas ng buhay pasasalamatan”
“Pasasalamatan Extended Version” is one
of the songs of praises to Glorify God and to thank Him for everything that he
gave to us.
C.L week is one of the events in La
Verdad which students were all busy preparing for all the programs. First year,
second year and especially the third year students were all in hectic schedule,
one of the categories in C.L week was the “CHORALE”. Every section has
different ways to express their feeling through their chosen song.
Students were all happy singing the praise
songs. They’d love what they were doing. They sang their songs from the bottom
of their hearts.
Surprisingly, our performance
in the actual presentation was very far from the things happened during our
rehearsal. We all looked happy, and obviously enjoyed the performance.
Thanks be to God because even
though we have the simplest performance among the contestants, we still won the
place “Champion”.
The title of being champion is not just
for us, MCT-12, but it’s really for our creator …. It’s really for GOD.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the event, CL Week was a very good and awesome event. It
has a lot of activities, including the Christian Dance. This category was
participated by different sections from Mass Communication Technology 11, 12,
13, 21, 22, AB Broadcasting 31 and Health Care Services 11 and 21.
The said category was very nice, even though some of the contestants
were not that fully prepared but still, the show has its beauty because you can
feel that they were dancing with their hearts and they were all offering that
dance to our Creator who gave those talents.
It was an overwhelming experience to see that even there are
lots of disturbances, pressures and different kinds of distractions. The contestants
ignored it just to show to the audiences that they were confident on what are
they going to do.
Getting ready for the ASOP production
One of the highlight in La Verdad Christian
College-Caloocan CL month is the song writing composition which is A Song Of
Praise (ASOP) LVCC. It was announced last December 2012 that every section
should have two representatives in ASOP music festival, one is a tagalong
composition and the other one should be an English composition. The event
manager of ASOP La Verdad was Ms. Katrina Deang. All of the contestants was
accompanied by Mr. Zandro Zaragosa, John Cris Pedutem and Shardei Bueno, the
Music Directors.
Interviews to the
composers was also held at La Verdad Christian College and also the photo shoot
of the composers and interpreters. The ASOP production was organized by the La
Verdad students especially by the third year students. Mr. Victor U. Solano was
the director of the ASOP La Verdad Christian College- Caloocan which had an
ethnic concept. An own version of ASOP theme song was also made by
LVCC-Caloocan which was also ethnic, which was an idea from the director. The
director had thought of an ethnic concept because he wanted to follow the genre
of the song of the last grand winner of ASOP 2012- “Purihin Mo Ang Dios Oh
Pilipinas”.
The night before the ASOP was very busy. The
director, organizers, technical staffs, dancers, contestants and other people
that are involved in the production, gave their full effort and
time even the school administrator. The rehearsal and preparation
for the production was held until early in the morning. It was really exciting.
The songs that were composed by the students are all so good. The production as
rehearsed is also so great. It was the first time that an ASOP production was
held in La Verdad Christian College which the students are the organizers. The
composers and the interpreters are also students from La Verdad. Getting ready
for the production was so exciting, awesome and great. What more in the
day that ASOP La Verdad was held?

"Gayak" fashion show was
the best experience for me so far. It was about the right clothes that a
Christian must wear. This kind of event was marked to me because I
belonged to the chosen students which ramp on the stage wearing a nice
dress in front of the students and instructors. I'm one of the model in
"Gayak" fashion wear.
When Sis. Meryl told me that I will be
one of the models in this event; I refused her request for I was shy and I
was alsothinking that I may not fit for this kind of show. But as time
goes by, I then realized that trying one will not lose me anything. So I
just put to my mind that I was so lucky because for many students
who also wanted to be one of the models, I waschosen
During the preparation, I was so
excitedabout the clothes that I might wear in the fashion show. It was
an achievement for me even in the simple things like that, for I
learned so many things from it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VARIETY SHOW
Production of MCT-12 (1st Sem)Alegria Joy Barilla
I will not forget the production made
by MCT-12 (1st Sem). During our practices, we had faced many
problems; firstly, the call time, if the leader said that the call time is 7am,
otherswill come to school at 11am. Second, during our production, it was so
embarrassing that although we presented it well, we admit that we did so many
mistakes.
That production was one of the worst
things we did so far. But then, I still don’t feel regret. I learned so many
things from those mistakes. The dance of the boys was our highlight there; we
had enjoyed and entertained about their performance and also, the sessionistas.
Fortunately, we did that even though we
are not that ready to perform. Thanks be to God for it was successfully done.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
