Rainfall
As I sleep like a baby
The rain comes down like hammer and I am awake
Staring at the window at a sky as black as coal
I see raindrops as big as golf balls
land harshly on the earth.
The drops are rockets and the
ground wolfs them up,
grateful for a taste of heaven.
It is raining cats and dogs, but soon
the hammering turns into a soft patter
like tiny footsteps on the roof.
I crawl back in the comfort of my bed.
My bed is a cocoon and I wrap myself in warmth.
As I drift off to the land of the dreams,
The rhythm of the rains sings like a lullaby
And I am fast asleep

Grandpas Good Old Days
by: Arabella May
What year were you born, Lolo? Cedrick asked. He is in Grade 3 and
his assignment is to interview someone born before 1950 to see what their
childhood was like. He had chosen to talk to his Grandfather, whom he knew is
the best person to help him with his homework.
I was born in 1942, during World War 2, Cedricks grandfather said.
Did you go to school? Cedrick asked. Yes, I went to school in Mariveles,
Grandpa said. Did you have a school service? Did you have someone who
accompanied you to school? Did you have a teacher then, whom you admired
most? Cedrick asked eagerly.
Hey, you asked a lot, apo! I usually went to school by myself. Most of
us walked to school. Only kids that lived very far away got to ride the jeepney.
I liked all my teachers then, Grandfather said. Well, what did you do after
school, Lolo, Cedrick asked. Did you watch television? Did you play video
games? asked Cedrick again. None of the above, Cedrick, Grandfather
answered with a smile. During our time, there were no such things for
recreations.
Cedrick tried to imagine what life would be like without TV, video
games, cell phones and computers. Why would Grandpa, whose childhood
seemed boring to me, called his past the good old days. he asked himself.
125
Cedrick looked confused, and he asked, What did you do for fun?
Well, I have books that I can read during the night. After dinner and
homework, sometimes we would listen to the radio while we colored pictures or
played card games. On the weekends we mostly rode our bikes and played
outside with our friends. We sometimes go the riverbank to fish. I remember a
friend who was a good swimmer. In the afternoon, we flied kites that we made.
Do you know that most children then enjoyed playing under a bright moonlight,
which they always looked forward to? Those good old days recalled
Grandfather.
Just then, Cedricks mom called out from the kitchen. Its milk time for
you, son, mother said. His father, who noticed the delight at Cedricks eyes,
said, Lolo had good memories of his childhood days. He can tell you more,
but for now, drink your milk and fix yourself to bed.
Have I answered all the questions that you need, Cedrick? We can
have another time for this. Have a sound, sleep, apo! Grandpa said. Thank
you, so much, Lolo! I wished I could play the games you had when you were
my age. Then, he kissed his Lolo goodnight.

My Life Story
My name is Jiezel Saavedra. I was born on
September 21, 2005 in Gabi, Cordova Cebu. We are five
in the family. My father is a seaman and is presently
employed in a private company. My mother is a teacher.
She is a government employee. I study at Gabi
Elementary School.
When I was four years old, I voluntarily participated
in an Art contest in a Kinder school. Contest details were
incompletely relayed to me. Theme was improperly told
by the school janitor. I just learned the theme during the
opening program.
I thought I made my design imperfectly. To my
surprise, they greatly admired my work. First, I confidently
drew a big heart-shaped figure on the cartolina. Then, I
carefully placed photos of my family at the center. Next, I
clearly designed angel on the right upper portion of the
cartolina. Finally, in bold letters I plainly wrote a caption
that goes I love my family.
Awarding ceremony finally came. Art winning pieces
were proudly brought on stage. I felt more nervous
because my work was there. The host then announced
the final winners. My goodness! I was the champion. The
crowd clapped their hands most loudly when my work
was shown. Mama ran to me quickly and hugged me
tightly. We came up the stage and claimed the awards.
My parents were very proud of me.

The Treasures
by: Gretel Laura M. Cadiong
The sun had barely awakened but Mang Nilo was already
up. He got his bolo and shovel and went down from the house.
He started weeding and loosening the soil of his plants. All
around him were vegetable plants of various kinds. Lined like
soldiers, the healthy tomatoes, eggplants and okra were at the
sides of the fences. The crawling string beans, ampalaya, and
patola occupied the middle part of the lot with its fruits pealing
like bells of different shapes and sizes. The dwarf calamansi
trees that abound with big and healthy fruits stood proudly
along the path.
Nena, wake up. Mang Nilo called his daughter. Please
water the plants. But Nena stayed on bed. His fathers call fell
on deaf ears. So Mang Nilo watered the plants himself.
One day, Nena heard her parents talking. Nilo, our
daughter Nemia needs a large sum for her school fees. If she
cant pay, it would be the end of the world. Aling Perla said.
The money I saved from the rice may fall short, she added.
Mang Nilo said, Dont worry Perla, we have treasures on our
backyard. We could get and sold them and it could add to
our savings.
Nena was bowled over by what she heard. A treasure in
our yard? she thought. Father must have buried a chest of
gold in the ground. she excitedly told herself.
