Yearbook Message, St. John the Baptist Catholic School of Calumpit, Bulacan, High School Batch 2009: "Genesis" by Kristian Harvey Lumba

  St. John the Baptist Catholic School of Calumpit, Bulacan; Motto: Lux et Veritas Twitter post of yacoyharvey Tumblr post of yacoyharvey Reddit post of yacoyharvey Pinterest post about SJBCS of Kristian Harvey Lumba Yearbook Message "Genesis" by Kristian Harvey Lumba In the beginning, there was uncertainty. There were faces and all of them were unreachable by the other. They were still separated by barriers that were still to be removed. And because of this, the room they were in, although lighted, appeared to be dark and empty. Suddenly, the door opened and there was light. On this light is the silhouette of an astute person. The children stood and greeted him "teacher." The teacher asked the students to introduce themselves and, gradually, there came unity. The strangers became acquaintances and all of them became one class in one section. Their teacher was not alone in his noble mission. There were other teachers. Each imposed different challenges that the young...

Christmas Celebration in the Philippines (Calumpit, Bulacan) Mulpitac, Buracan

  Christmas Celebration and Decoration in a Small Rural Town Back in December 28, 2014, I wrote an article about Christmas in Calumpit, Bulacan, Philippines. The link to it doesn't work anymore, as it is a very old article and it has no visitors. I wanted to repost it here. The original link is https://hubpages.com/holidays/we-found-christmas-in-calumpit under the pen name Tanara Lee. Children of Calumpit town in the Philippines light candles for Virgin Mary's statue The land of true love is still keeping faithfully the Christian traditions passed down to them by the Spanish priests in the year 1572, when they first docked in the town. One can see the joy in the faces of the people as they sing through masses and hear words of sheer love flowing from the mouth of their parochial priest. And although Christmas may not originally have been a Christian tradition, it was Christianity that introduced it to the people of this town, and they do celebrate it as very zealous Christians...

A Memory of Calumpit (A Poem)

A Memory of Mulpitak by Kristian Harvey Lumba I remember the beat of my heart Back then, when we first met at the start Now a memory's all that I got Since you stole it with words that you spat Till now the reason I don't know what. If learning's really what we best do Then I don't need to look to you What you do is so illogical,  Destructive and not beneficial. And your love was just artificial. See, I do not need to be grateful, Have every reason to be hateful. ===== Superbe solus et superior

Plants VS Zombies (A Poem)

Plants VS Zombies by Kristian Harvey Lumba Tears have watered this tree That towers over me But when you smile I see A sun that shone brightly Yesterday so truly. Hearts broken secretly, Such numb hearts will love me? Numb hearts treat me kindly. When they bleed, I'm happy. Today my sun I see. Hearts that can't do what they do Are numb like that inside you. Love me again, playful beau; Go borrow Cupid's arrow.

Bulacan Hymn (March and Anthem) Makulay na Bulakenyo Lyrics (Tagalog and English)

  The lyrics posted in this page were hard to find. I found them on Scribd, and was forced to create a free trial to access the lyrics. I decided to copy the lyrics here and post the English translation. Bulacan is a province in the Philippines adjacent to Pampanga in the West, Nueva Ecija in the north, and the National Capital Region in the east. It is located in the Region III, Central Luzon. LYRICS in Tagalog: Makulay na Bulakenyo Bulacan Hymn (Song and March) Salubungin ang silahis ng araw Buksan ang puso’t diwang bayani Tumingala sa langit na bughaw O magiting na Bulakenyo Ibandila ang gintong pamana ng lahi Mabuhay ang lalawigan Singkaban, sining at kalinangan Mabuhay ang sambayanan Mabuhay ang Bulacan! Singkaban. Pulilan, lumuluhod na kalabaw Plaridel, kabayong nag-uunahan Bocaue, pagodang lulutang-lutang Paombong, sasahan ng kayamanan Guiguinto, halamanan ng lalawigan Obando, sayawan ng kahilingan Mabuhay ang sambayanan Mabuhay ang Bulacan!
