Blog by: Cyramae Mocorro, Marielle Kaye Villanueva & Christian Miguel Quidlat

          La Salle Academy Senior High School held their 2nd Animolympics on November 16-18, 2017. Last year, the TVL won the overall champion for the 1st Animolympics, ABM took the 1st place, HUMSS at the 2nd place, and STEM for the 3rd place. During their (students from TVL) 9th grade they beat the 4th year students in the Night High School and their victory made them more determined to hold their title during their 10th grade. For three consecutive years they won overall champion including the 1st SHS Animolympics.

In this school year, which tribe do you think will take the crown?

Will it be the pack of wolves from Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM)? 

The soaring eagles from Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS)? 

The roaring lions from Accountancy, Business and Management (ABM)? 

Or would it be the defending champion from the mighty sharks, Technical-Vocational and Livelihood (TVL)?

“Lead and Follow”

Q: What is a leader?

According to Salovey’s Emotional Intelligence Theory, a leader is someone who has a calm attitude and who in in control to any situations.  A leader is someone who has complete trust in all around them; a compassionate listener, always speaking kindly and with simplicity; is approachable and always seems to make the right informed decisions. 

In addition to his theory, a leader is someone who knows how to lead others especially himself, because you cannot properly lead others if you do not know how to lead yourself. A leader know how to control his emotions especially with his teammates. Emotional Intelligence theory and Leadership have a deep embedded relationship that should not be underestimated or overlooked.

“My Kind of Love”

Q: What is Love for you?

According to the Theory of Love, love is when you feel appreciated, and when someone gives meaningful words or messages to you especially when you hear it from the one you love. Not just actions, words also matter. Aside from enjoying their presence, you also enjoy conversations and small talks. You feel so special.

“The Emotion Challenge”

This contains the things I do on how to manage my emotions.

1. I think before I act. Because your actions may surprise you because you didn’t think. You might hurt yourself or someone because you didn’t watch your words or actions. You should not react immediately to avoid creating immense mistakes.

2. Do not expect. Expect nothing. Just do what is right and let the good karma get into you someday. You might just get hurt if you expect too much. Remember: Expecting so much can lead to so much disappointment.

3. Be prepared to accept failures and disappointments. But do not let those failures and disappointment be your weaknesses, let it be your strengths instead. Be prepared so that if that happen, you will not get so vulnerable and kept on thinking that you are such a failure. 

4. See the bigger picture. Do not stick to what is obvious, see the bigger picture in everything. Do not just stick to yourself and also think about other people’s feelings. 

5. Replace your thoughts. Replace your thoughts especially from negative to positive. Avoid being so pessimist. You yourself can let you bring you down, not just others. AND DO NOT LET THAT HAPPEN. That’s because you always think about the bad things and not the good.

According to Peter Salovey and John Meyer’s Key Components to Emotional Intelligence, it is a way of recognizing, understanding, and choosing how we think, feel, and act. It shapes our interactions with others and understanding of ourselves. It defines how and what we learn; it allows us to set our priorities; it determines the majority of our daily actions.

What I feel about Expectations of Me

This quote fits what I feel whenever I am doubting myself whether I will do something that I thought I can’t or not. Because I’m not that kind of person where I can be so confident about myself especially when it comes to exposing my talent. The reason why I’m like that because I fear that I might fail and others may be disappointed at me and thought ‘This is not what I expect from you’. That’s what I fear the most.  And I am very thankful that I have my mommy(my aunt) because she always motivates me and tell me ‘You can do this’ and ‘You can do that’. Whenever I’m doubting myself, I always come to her and asks for advice. I always run to her because when I go to my mom and tell about what I want in the future, she’s always like ‘okay, go ahead’ and I felt like she isn’t interested in my goals as long as I will finish studying and go work. She doesn’t say something about what she want me to be but on the bright side, she seemed supportive of me wanting to be an artist or a fashion designer. And in the end, I am the only one that I have and I have to push myself because, no one else is going to do it for me.

Personal Development and Career Goals

This is me when I was still working on my artworks with my niece. When I was at this age (I was 13-14 years old I guess and she was 12), I never had plans on being an artist or a fashion designer. But now it changed when I saw inspirations that caught my eyes, then suddenly I thought that ‘I wanna be an artist someday’ and then it never changed until now. My family, God and myself became my inspirations when I am feeling down then I told myself that ‘This is for your goals, make it happen’. At night, I have this habit of overthinking and I overthink about things i wanna do, the things that I want to happen, goals that I wanna achieve someday and how am I gonna do it. 

P.S. this is not all because I can’t fully express all of the goals and I apologize.

My Personal Mandala

I choose this mandala; the yin and yang, because it represents light and dark, positive and negative, or everything that has opposites. The yin and yang maintains the harmony of the universe. I can compare yin and yang to my life because like any other people, there are also times that we feel happiness as well as sadness. I am quite satisfied with the colors that I combined in the dark side because even in my struggles, my family, friends, and God (they represent the colors) made me feel that I should let my struggles and problems be my strengths, not my weaknesses.
