The Used
Kevin A. Loma

He was tired when he built our home
While he was worn-out when he concreted the dome
She was drained as she iced the cake
And she was weary as she set the table near the lake

She felt sick as after she marcotted the shrub
While she kept complaining as she styled the beautiful Ms. Love
He passed out after handling the fish
Because he was exhausted on working his garden dish

He almost busted himself because of computing
As she cried out loud because of lay-outing
He had lost air through designing
Then she collapsed after presenting

They were miserable when their brains were used
They got tired because of painting many hues
They fought each other because as they had their meetings
They talked back as if it was one’s own ending.

Tired of this and that, and those
But without you, who will sew my clothes?
A skill, a flair, a gift ,an ability,
God gave it to you because you are worthy.

Make the first step, make your move
Through your skills, the world will improve
It’s not something to be deprived with
It’s something else that you can give

UNWRITTEN

I am unwritten,
Can't read my mindI'm undefined
I'm just beginning
The pen's in my hand
Ending unplanned

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words
That you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it

Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else

Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten, yeah
Oh, ohI break tradition

Sometimes my tries
Are outside the lines, oh yeah yeah
We've been conditioned
To not make mistakes
But I can't live that way oh, oh

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words
That you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance

So close you can almost taste it
Release your inner visions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in

No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips drench yourse
lf in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else

Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live you life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten

(Gospel)

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words
That you could not find

Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inner visions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you

Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live you life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else

Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live you life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins

The rest is still unwritten

The rest is still unwritten

The rest is still unwritten

IN CASE YOU FORGET.....

MISSING YOU ISN'T ENOUGH.....
THAT'S WHY GSP GIVES YOU A HUG
SAYING THAT THE BOND WE HAD WE COULD PLUG
TO THE WHOLE WORLD NOT JUST WITHIN OUR BLOG..:)

YOU CAN

One day frogs arranged a wall climbing competition. The wall was so high that spectators were shouting that it is impossible for a frog to reach the top. One by one frogs began to fall due to exhaustion and one by one they gave up... Except for one.

He was a tiny frog. This frog was very exhausted but kept climbing. Spectators told him to give up but he did not. Eventually he reached the top. They wanted to know how he did it and found out that the frog was DEAF! :)


Lesson: Don't listen to dream crushers!!! Go for yours! Go GIRL SCOUT! :) You can do it if you think you can..:)

Senior and Cadet Planning Board Conference

Alona Suzell Ruyeras

SMAD- Davao Council

On the 28^th day of July 2007, the Girl Scouts of the Philippines Davao Council conducted the Senior and Cadet Planning Board Conference. The event which was held at the Davao Council office at Ponciano St., Davao City, was participated by the Chairman, Vice-chairman and Scribe of both the senior and cadet planning board in each school. Six more representatives are sent by the participating schools to represent them in the two clubs of the GSP, the Junior Journalist Guild (JJG) and Radio Television (RTV).

Aside from development of skills and emergence of camaraderie among members, the main objective of the conference is to elect new officials and organize the government system of GSP Davao Council. The said event started with an opening ceremony which included the entry of colors, reciting of promise and law and the community singing of the song “We are the Girl Scouts”. Tita Enriqueta Abanilla delivered her welcome address. Dawn Baluso from Davao City National High School followed after with her inspirational message which focused on the conference’s theme: “Girl Scouts World Wide say: building a better world”.

The opening ceremony ended with the singing of the same community song, “We are the Girl Scouts”. Tita Beatriz Hualde, better known as Tita Betty imparted her talk regarding discovering the potentials of each Girl Scout. Her lecture contained the life skills that each Girl Scout must possess and the rights that every Girl Scout has. Tita Nenita Navales or Tita Nitz was next as she discussed about the ill-effects of drugs especially on the youth of these days. She gave a group activity after which was called DDD (Describe a Drug Dependent). The patrols had the reporting regarding the body of a drug dependent and performed their given challenge such as song composition and role play.

The next facilitator. Tita Enriqueta Abanilla, carried out a game for the group which tested the knowledge of the girls on the history of scouting, its laws and its founders. When the game was through, the girls were given ten minutes to discuss and organize the yearlong activities which were done by school. One by one, the schools reported their plan of action. After finishing all the presentations, the Senior Senior Planning Board (SPB), Cadet Planning Board (CPB), Junior Journalist Guild (JJG) and Radio Television (RTV) were given the time to meet and create a similar action plan but now it was done by club. The continuation of the planning and organization of activities continued the next day. After all the discussions, the elections of the SPB, SPB, JJG and RTV took place.

The conference ended with the hope that each club would be productive and effective not only for the organization, the Girl Scouts of the Philippines, but also for the betterment of the society.
