Tokio Hotel ! [Featuring Bill Kaulitz]

This is the band named Tokio Hotel which I am currently having a very big admiration on, especially on their lead singer Bill Kaulitz who is famous for his different hair styles and his Androgynous look.

One of my favorite songs from this band is "Automatic", where the beatings and the message of the song really emerged into my heart. The song is about a boy loving a girl who has "automatic feelings". It means that this feelings are like just remote controlled or with no emotions or something like that. But even though the girl is hard like a stone the boy still can't help it but fall in love with her.





This is the guy I've been talking about - Bill Kaulitz. He is the twin brother of Tom Kaulitz who was born 10 minutes before him. Many of my friends say that Bill is gay, which got me really kind of down. But, anyway I believe Bill on what he said. He is just really a sweet and loving person. I totally find him amazing and i love the closeness he has with his twin brother too. It makes me wish I had a twin. I would really be awed and exuberant if the band comes here in the Philippines because I really wish to see them.

People might find it weird for me to be into Tokio Hotel but its true, I am into them and their songs and I don't find it weird because that is what you call admiration. During our Christmas Vacation, "Bill Kaulitz" and "Tokio Hotel" would be the word you'll be hearing from me all day. Even my family knows about my infatuation with them. I'm not ashamed by it, in fact I am PROUD! :]

Values Education Department: Tagis-talino (2009-2010)

On November 13, 2009 the Tagis-talino contest, conducted by the Values Education Department, was held in Agusan National High School Campus at 1PM in the afternoon. The contest was attended by all the year levels and anyone who wishes to participate in the said contest because this is a contest which is open for everyone as long as they have a team which must be consisted of 3 students, no more, no less.

The first part was the reading of the mechanics and rules of the game, after, it moved to the game proper. There were all in all more than two-hundred students that participated in the game which made the campus quite crowded for everyone to occupy. So, the teachers decided to have two batches for the students to have enough space during the game process. The first batch consisted of the freshmen and sophomore years and the second batch consisted of the junior and senior years. Everyone had a taste of participating until the fifth question because the system of the flow of the questions changed from the original last year. Now, there are five questions, which are like chance questions, whether you are wrong or right, you are still part of the game. But when the sixth question was asked, everyone who made mistakes in it was told to leave the place. During the sixth question, there was no team from the section Darwin that was eliminated, but there were many from the other freshmen and sophomore sections. It was only on the eighth question that almost all the teams from section Darwin were eliminated leaving only one team to continue and also almost only one-fourth of the original number of teams remained for the challenge. This is because the microphone had a shattered voice and the surrounding was very noisy, leaving many of the teams hanging with unsure answers during the time to answer.

The winners from the first batch had another match with the winners of the second batch to identify which team was the smartest or “pinakatalino”. The game ended at almost three in the afternoon and the victorious winners were then awarded with their rightful awards which were garnered by their performance.

ANHS Participates in the 33rd Milo Marathon

The 33rd Nationwide Milo Marathon in Butuan City happened on July 13, 2009. The venue was in the road near the Cathedral Church and the Butuan City Rizal Park. The occasion started at 6 in the morning and ended at almost 12 in the afternoon.

There were many participants from all over Butuan City, from little ones to adults that may be estimated to be more than three-hundred people all in all. Students from Agusan National High School, again, never failed to be one of the active participants of this activity, but also students and pupils from Father Saturnino Urios University (FSUU), Saint Joseph Institute of Technology (SJIT), Butuan City Elementary School (BCES), Rainbow of Angels Learning Center, Inc.

The Milo Staff also provided the participants with water in every stop for them to replenish their quench for thirst.

The awarding happened at almost nine in the morning. The Libertad National High School Dance Troupe bagged the 1st place for the best cheer dance in the event, who was instructed by a former Agusan National High School graduate, from the Butuan City School of Arts and Trades (BCSAT).

First Mass in ANHS for the Year 2010

The mass for the month was sponsored by the Science Department, wherein it was attended by numerous religious students again. It started at 7:30 and ended at half past 8 in the morning.

The gospel for the mass was a reading from the 1st Letter of John where he mentioned the word “Love” 49 times and 32 times in the 3rd – 5th Chapter. The focal point of the mass was about love and its different definitions. The priest – Fr. Jigs Dusdus told us about the 3 kinds of love that was described by Pope Benedict XVI.
One was Eros – the love between man and woman, second was Filial – the love between parents and their children and third was Charity or Agape. It was said that the true meaning of love is when both people are thinking for what is good for the other and its true measures are tested whether both are willing to make sacrifices.

The mass is very important to the students not only because of God but also because of the lessons we learn to help us deal with life. At this age, it is advised that students should focus in their studies first to show their love for their parents.

Christmas Vacation For Sophomores

Christmas vacation for students in Agusan National High School started last December 18, 2009 where they have already finished attending their Christmas Parties, exchanging their gifts, bidding their teachers and classmates a farewell and attending the school for the year 2009, because by the time they will return to school, it will be a new year already – year 2010.

For students it is like a getaway from all the stress and hardships they manage to get from their school life. I know this because I am one of them. This is the time where they can have fun and forget about school, assignments and projects even just for about two weeks at hand.

But, always they should remember to be responsible for any assignments, projects and tasks given to them. And they should also prepare and study for the upcoming 3rd Quarter Examination so that they will not experience being in the brink of failing in the beginning of a new year.

Mangroove Conservation Symposium

Last December 7, 2009, a symposium on Mangrove Conservation was held in the Agusan National High School Ampitheater which started at 1:30 in the afternoon and ended at 3:30.

First part was the opening remarks of our school principal, Mr. Peter G. Esterioso and followed by a few words of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources Executive Director, Mr. Mario L. Mundo. He explained about the Voyage of the Balanghay and some facts about our ancient boat. The voyage was part of the Kaya ng Pinoy Foundation and it is also the symbol of unity of the Filipinos.

The Balanghay is the first water trap found in the South East Asia, where there were 9 of them found in the Butuan City last 1987 and 3 were successfully excavated. It was said that one of the boats dated from 990 A. D. and the others on 1250 A. D. The balanghay is also a symbol of the courage and bravery and ingenuity of Filipino. It was also said that the Balanghays were better than European boats dating back in 330 A. D.

The speakers prepared a game for the students which was called Wildlife Pairing, that consisted 9 pairs of students. This game was to tell the students that all of us should be aware of our surroundings and our same kind.

The lecture proceeded after the game. It started with the topic Coastal Areas then preceded to facts about the Mangrove, its benefits, effects and functions
The program was made possible with the cooperation of the Science Departmen, our school principal and students. The program is also a proof of the active participation of the Agusan National High School in the Environment and Coastal Resource Management Committee for the Voyage of the Balanghay.

Give Love on Christmas Program

Last December 11, 2009, the “Give Love on Christmas Program” in which the Red Cross Youth students sponsored was held in the Por Kristo: Home for the Aged in Abilan from 1 in the afternoon until 4. The students rode five multicabs from the Agusan National High School to their destination. They were brought by many teachers including the first year and second year RCY adviser – Mrs. Pamela Jane Cubillas and the third year and fourth year RCY adviser – Mrs. Elaine Anne Bayer.

The students were assigned to bring anything they can donate for the abandoned elders, like soap, toothpaste, old clothes, noodles, can goods and toothbrush. Upon arriving in Por Kristo, the students and the people from the housing had their little program. It started with the prayer that was lead by Miss Bambi and then the production numbers followed. The RCY students prepared some dance numbers with “Fire” and “Fire Burning” as their selected song and also song numbers dedicated to the elders. The elders from the housing also showed their talent to the students. One elder sang and the others danced. After all of the intermission numbers, the elders were all introduced to the students and then their snacks followed up. The students were all given the chance to tour in the housing to visit some of the other elders that weren’t able to attend the little program, they were given the chance to have a photo taken with the elders and they were also given the chance to bid the entire elders goodbye.

This activity gave the elders time and feelings of love from the students and they were also given the chance to experience happiness. This activity was done for the students to be reminded how important it is to value their parents because in the first place, they will never be here without them.
