"It matters not how straight the gate, 

How charged with punishments the scroll. 

I am the master of my fate. 

I am the captain of my soul."

The Emerald Team! - INTRAMURALS 1996, Pius XII Institute, Jaro, Iloilo City

At the Nipa Hut with my team mates and classmates, the 3rd Year students of Pius XII Institute -- My high school preparation was a solid one. I just did not lock myself inside the library and study the whole day. I also joined sports events that nourished my physical side. I got involved into a lot of school activities, got exposed to a variety of things, and got to know myself better.

Linggo ng Wika 1995, Pius XII Institute, Jaro, Iloilo City -- August 1995

I was in 2nd Year High School here during our school's 'Linggo ng Wika' celebration, August 1995. If my memory serves me right, this was 'Sabayang Awit' contest. When I was in High School, we observed the 'Philippine National Language Week' seriously. Different activities were organized by the Kamag-Fil to promote the beauty of Filipino to all learners.
