The Goat and the Pig
By: Leslie B. Calibay
 
                     It was sunny morning in a month of June. The wind blows so cool that could blow even one’s problem. The trees were dancing and the birds sang the sweetest melody. And all other animals in the Kingdom were busy coping what interest them on that day, except to the goat and pig that were busy talking with each other. It was really a best day to enjoy with.
                    “Mehhh, meeehh,meehh,” the sound of the goat. “Oink, oink, oink,” the sound of the pig. The goat and the pig happened to be friends at first. “I am so excited to go to school tomorrow.“said Elsa the goat. “But I feel nervous.” replied Nori the pig. “Why? You should be excited since we will meet new friends and new teachers.” She said to her friend.
                    On the next day, they went together to school. “Are you still nervous, Nori?” “Not at all.” “Okay, that’s good”. They talked together until they came to school.
                “Starting today, I am your teacher Lota. Are you ready for your first class?” asked teacher Lota to her students. “Yes teacher, we are ready.” “ So, today I would like you to be attentive and participative. You have to do all the requirements and every single tasks so that you will be passed this year. Is it clear.” Asked teacher Lota. “Yes, teacher Lota.” They replied.
                 Their first task was to create a house made of recyclable materials. And they had to do that with pair. Nori assumed that they were paired already. But she was surprised that Elsa was with the other member and she had nothing except to herself. She went to Elsa and said, “I thought we were friends. And I thought we already paired up. “ “Why did you approached me and said those things? No! Instead, she approach me first. And I said yes. So , find another one. Besides, I know if I were paired with you, we cannot do it!” then they left Nori alone.
                That was hard to her. She cant afford for the materials since he has no recycled materials. In fact, she was the poorest student in school. She feel pity for herself.
                 After a while, she realized to be resourceful and creative. She knew there’s a way in everything. So, she started planning her house project. She start with layout, then, the possible material she needed. After that, she gathered all the materials, such as twigs, cellophane , straw, leaves and a homemade paste. She was about to start when someone called her. “Nori, can we talk?” It was Elsa. She apologized for her rude action. And the wrong decision she made.
              “ She was playing with me. I thought sshe was sincere of making me as a partner for this project but she had another pair. Can we be a pair again? Please.” She pleaded. “Ok, I’m your friend no matter what. So, let’s do this.” They do their project with all the happy hearts.
              Nori was walling the house then Elsa was roofing the house. While finishing the project they were rebuilding their friendship. They compared their friendship to a house. They build it. And now, when it is about to destroy, they fixed it. Just like to that house they made, they will never surrender in fixing if ever there’s messing part until it completely made and submitted.
            The time allotted were about to finish and they were happy, finally it done. They both receive a good remark. The happiness was brought as they returned to their individual houses.

The Magnet By: Leslie B. Calibay               One of the streets in Juna Subdivision is the Carlos Avenue Street. It is a side road of Philippine Women’s College of Davao. Though, the street isn’t that glamour since it is just a plain soil and if you will pass here during rainy day, you wouldn’t dare to walk because of its appearance.                It was 5:00 o’clock in the evening.   The street was almost covered with darkness. You only recognize it was a street because of few vehicles kept on passing by and a few lamp posts along the way. Few people walked in the street since the time entailed for going home especially those who are from whole day worked.                “Vel, before you go, eat first. Your food is already prepared.” It was the words that cut my heart within. Since everytime I heard those words, specially the word “go”, some feeling innate in me arose that I couldn’t even explained what was it. Without words, everytime our eyes met something was

Stumble and Fall I stand straight there, almost touching the sky But I stumble and fall here, away from the cloud. I weep with roar due pain and disappointment been high And I almost forget the grace that I should be proud. Yes, I fall and stumble but I will stand again Coz I know I'm not alone, He is there. I maybe in the dark but my muscles will strain When stretched the flesh is the light we bear. With you I rise, with you I fall But i fear no more whether to rise or fall. For you and me I consider my all Together we will rise wherever we fall. Everybody is experiencing the ups and downs The weight of our weaknesses pulled us to the ground. But only those who has courage will survive Beseech! your inner strength will revive. By: ellise25

Tears The water that falls from the eye, The moment you feel low or high. To release the hurt'n just cry, Let them see and wonder why. The mind thinks what is right The heart feels the might. When the two seems to fight, It's your tears bring on the light. Tears symbolizes pain, Sometimes happiness is seen No matter where you've been Relief is what you'll gain.
