Wisdom Tooth?

Hmmm.. what does it really mean?.. I do know that it is wisdom.. hehe .. ^_^ anyway, my tooth hurts.. :( and my tongue too.. :( I have a hard time eating because it hurts.. I hope this will not last until the recital show..

Based on my research about wisdom teeth..

Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars are the last teeth to erupt. This occurs usually between the ages of 17 and 25. There remains a great deal of controversy regarding whether or not these teeth need to be removed. It is generally suggested that teeth that remain completely buried or un-erupted in a normal position are unlikely to cause harm. However, if these impacted teeth are in an abnormal position (a dentist can show you this on an x-ray), their potential for harm should be assessed.

I am still 15 years old.. does it occur also in younger patients? I still need to go to the Dentist but I barely have time. Its holy week. I still need to rest. Regarding my tongue, there's a wound. It really hurts.

Nice thing. This can be my penitence during the Holy Week. I did visit the sick yesterday. Its really a nice thing to do and it makes me feel happy and inspired.


Till next blog.. A blessed Holy Week to you. Advance Happy Easter! ^_^

Graduation Ball Speech

Bro. Armando Mana-ay, FMS our school Director. Dr. Evelyn V. Dollete our school Principal, Faculty and Staff, invited guests, my fellow graduates, Good evening.
Graduation is fast approaching. After that we will part ways and face a different life, but before that happens, let me just take a time to thank all those people who have made a difference in my life.
To my Alma Mater, Notre Dame of Cotabato, Thank you for being an inspiration to all of us for we know that we are privileged to have enrolled in this institution.
To my classmates, the memories we've shared will be kept forever. I will miss all the laughter, the cries, the sound trip, the transferring of seats, the noise which sometimes made me lose my temper, and the discussions which made us know each other better. Mamimis ko yun lahat and syempre pati kayo. But one thing I will surely never forget is the bonding and the teamwork we had as brothers and sisters in class. Remember Marksters, 60% Responsible and 40% pasaway.
To my friends, thank you for the friendship for the last 4 years here in NDC. Thank you for the comfort when problems arise and thank you also for the secrets we've shared. Salamat sa tiwala.
To our mentors, our teachers. Thank you for the patience, the perseverance and the understanding. You have done a great job in helping in our academics. We apologize for the times that we have misbehaved in class discussions, for the noise we made and for the times you got mad because of our being "pasaway". All those experiences made lessons for us.
To our dear parents, even if they are not around, they have always been a great inspiration in our lives and I would like to thank them sincerely for all the support and understanding of our needs and failures as a pain in growing up.
I would also remember the sense of security and protection for the ever presence of Kuya Bong, and the other guards. You will always be a part of our lives.
And last but not the least to the Almighty God, for creating us and giving us the chance to prove that we are truly His children.
Once again, good evening.

Graduation

Graduation is fast approaching and I don't know what to do.. I will miss my classmates.. I hope we still have communications.. :) keep in touch.. ^^,
Now, what we do is just to cherish the moments with our friends and i think that's all. In weeks time we will separate ways, the others will transfer schools in different places and we will not see each other more often not like in high school days. As we graduate, many things will change, schedules, time and many more. One of our our teacher told us that we will not notice that College is very different from high school until we step into the reality of being a College student.

My Wish

I just want to share a song that really made me want to hear it over and over again,, The content of the song really struck me.. It's like telling someone what you want for him/her and you'll support her in every hardships that he'll/she'll face. Below is the lyrics of the song..


I hope the days come easy and the moments pass slow,
and each road leads you where you wanna go,
and if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose,
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.
And if one door opens to another door closed,
I hope you keep on walkin' till you find the window,
if it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile.
But more than anything, more than anything...

My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
your dreams stay big, your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
and while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.

I hope you never look back, but you never forget,
all the ones who love you, in the place you left,

I hope you always forgive, and you never regret,and you help somebody every chance you get,
Oh, you find God's grace, in every mistake,
and always give more than you take.
But More than anything, yeah, more than anything...

My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
your dreams stay big, your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
and while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish. Yeah.

My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
your dreams stay big, your worries stay small,

Yeah, this, is my wish.


I hope you like it. I am so tired. We had ended our practice at almost 6pm today.. I know there will be many parents who will complain. Our curfew is 5:30 and we ended at almost 6pm. Hmmm.. anyway, thanks for reading.. ^^, if you want to hear the song, just search it in youtube or in other music sites.^^,

No class

Hi. We don't have classes since Wednesday until today. Ang hirap ng walang ginawa, mas maganda kapag nasa school kasi pwede ka mag-recite at maenergize at machallenge ang utak mo.. kaysa nasa bahay lang at walang ginagawa. Well, kahit wala namang ginagawa, I still have time to read my books.. Lalo na yung Bible, important daw yun basahin lalo na ang Sirach and Wisdom.. Diba?? hahay.. what I really need learn and understand is the real meaning of DISCIPLINE. I don't think I really know everything about discipline. I have to read more.
Super inlove ako sa theme song ng LOBO even if hindi ko naman yun pinapanood. waahh.. ganda talaga ng kanta. The title is "Ikaw ang pangarap" sung by Martin Nievera... hehe.. anyway, thanks for visiting my blog.. ^^, til next post.. bye!!

Wow.. Diansuy Clan rocks!


Wow! I am very proud to have been a part of this Clan. I could not believe that I still have relatives whom I haven't met yet. Kahit sa friendster, myspace meron din.. di ko lang nga kilala yung nakita ko na Garcia-Diansuy Civil wedding sa isang photogallery sa internet. Hmmm.. kakaunti lang naman ang Diansuy sa Pilipinas.. Maybe we are related but I asked my mom, hindi naman daw nya kilala... anyway, ang sarap pala ng feeling na makakilala ka ng mga kamag-anak mo na hindi mo pa nakikilala since pinanganak ka.. hahay.. DIANSUY, that's my middle name. ^^, Till here.. I am just happy to share this to everyone. I hope I can meet much more relatives related to Diansuy.. To all my relatives out there, I hope we'll stay in touch. Thank you and Good Day!

I Should Play the Guitar?


You're very independent - both in spirit and in the way you learn.
You can teach yourself almost anything, even if it makes your fingers bleed.

You're not really the type to sit patiently through a music lesson - or do things by the book.
It's more your style to master the fundamentals and see where they take you.

Highly creative and a bit eclectic, you need a wide range of music to play.
You could emerge as a sensitive songwriter... or a manic rock star.

Your dominant personality characteristic: being rebellious

Your secondary personality characteristic: tenacity

What Jo Annmarie Mercado Means

You are fair, honest, and logical. You are a natural leader, and people respect you.
You never give up, and you will succeed... even if it takes you a hundred tries.
You are rational enough to see every part of a problem. You are great at giving other people advice.

You are well rounded, with a complete perspective on life.
You are solid and dependable. You are loyal, and people can count on you.
At times, you can be a bit too serious. You tend to put too much pressure on yourself.

You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection.
You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive.
You have the classic "Type A" personality.

You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people.
You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts.
You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.

You are confident, self assured, and capable. You are not easily intimidated.
You master any and all skills easily. You don't have to work hard for what you want.
You make your life out to be exactly how you want it. And you'll knock down anyone who gets in your way!

You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something.
You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense.
You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun.

You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing.
You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long.
You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start.

You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone.
You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together.
At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.

You are very open. You communicate well, and you connect with other people easily.
You are a naturally creative person. Ideas just flow from your mind.
A true chameleon, you are many things at different points in your life. You are very adaptable.

You are balanced, orderly, and organized. You like your ducks in a row.
You are powerful and competent, especially in the workplace.
People can see you as stubborn and headstrong. You definitely have a dominant personality.

Singing


Singing was already my passion since I was a little child. I always dreamed of becoming like Celine Dion, Sarah Geronimo and all other great singers of today. I remember back when I was 5 years old, I would go to our room and get the cassette player and I would start to play different songs like "Tomorrow" and "The Greatest love of all" , and I would stand on one part of the room and I would sing, following the tune of the songs. It was indeed a big honor of being a part of my voice class. It really made a big change on my voice. They were so good to me and they made me enjoy singing more. Anyway, the picture on top was taken last December 22,2007 when we had our recording at INKnow. That was my first time to be in a recording studio.
I have joined many singing contests, I won in other contest, others not but its always fine because I only want to share my talents with other people and I also want to entertain them with inspirational songs. Not only that, I also sing in our school choir, it is a very nice feeling praising God through singing. I love my voice because it is given by God. Thank You Lord God for giving me my talents.

About the Blogger

Good Day to all. I am Jo Annmarie Diansuy Mercado. A simple student of Notre Dame of Cotabato. I was born on May 15, 1992. I graduated my elementary years in Notre Dame University- ETD and I'll be graduating by March in Notre Dame of Cotabato, the first Marist School in the Philippines. It's not very difficult to be a Notre Damean for almost 10 years. You just have to live into action the importance of being self-disciplined. After I graduate, I will again face the challenges of being a Notre Damean as I enroll to Notre Dame University now, as a college student.
I have 3 brothers, they are all doctors of medicine. My mom and dad are too. Well, what about me?.. I'll be taking up nursing then maybe I'll proceed to Medicine later on. My parents disciplined me well so you won't wonder why I am like this. I love to be with my friends. One of the first impressions of me is that I am very shy. As they say, I have the capability not to speak in one day. Anyway, i think that's when I was still in first year high school.. I changed a lot. Now, i can socialize with other people and not just being on one side of the room by myself. I treasure my family and my friends and all those who are close to my heart. I love God above all things and all things is done according to his will. I want to share my talents to all the people who hear my voice. For those who support me in everything I do, thank you. I may not be fluent in writing or maybe speaking in English but its a start. Everything starts from scratch. I hope you viewers will like my blog. God Bless You all.
