Premarital Sex -  Is it Right? by  Rizza Acero of Buenavista, ADN "Is it ok to have premarital sex?" … That is a common question among teens and engaged couples. Perhaps you are in a relationship that is progressing in that direction, but you're not sure what to do. In your mind, you are probably weighing the pros and cons of premarital sex. On the positive side of the scale, there is acceptance from your peers, hope for pleasure, and the fulfillment of sexual desires. The negative side of the scale carries the weights of morals, fear of pregnancy or disease, and guilt. How do these scales balance? What is the right decision? Let's take a look at some of the facts. The Bible refers to premarital sex as “Fornication”. That's a word we don't hear much these days, so what does it mean? Fornication is sexual intercourse between people who are not married to each other. Premarital sex is just as much of a sin as adultery and all other forms of sexual imm...

If Only You Knew by Christelle Bianan of ANHS If only you knew, how my heart overflows with love for you. If only you could see the way you fill my hopes and dreams. You're the owner of my heart, the ruler supreme. Even in the dark of night, I've only to think about you to feel your loving light and from this world I drift feeling as if I'll never touch the ground again... If only you knew. If only you could guess how I hear your voice when others speak; for you hold the key to my happiness, and it's always you my soul seeks. If only you could feel, how your very presence has the power to heal, all the wounds inside me. You've made me abandon the pain of yesterday, and you've shown me that the past can no longer stand in the way of what I hope to achieve... If only you knew. If only you could realize the way you've shown me that it's better to give than to take, and whatever I do, I do for your sake. I'm w...

by Daisy "Yzay" B. Mangubat of SVNHS First time I saw you, I felt that you will make a difference in my life. Yes It is true! - a strange feeling or a weird imagination - "I don't know" [Kah-OA naku uie]. You are a kind of guy who always turns the gloom into smile and change the loveliest world into a funniest and happiest sphere [char!] You know what? I really want to be your friend but I have no idea of how parallel ways will intersect each other; for there is no such rules of that in Math [unya kay dili mani Math?]. Your circle of friends are inversely proportional to mine, that's the reason why even though your a centimeter near to me yet your so far to accompany with. I just wish and hope that someday [puhon] there will be a linear bridge that will straightly connect you and me. Time past, many things are changed - somewhat on... Evolution? [nee! murag unggoy paingon sa tao!] But my sensation unto you still stays. I just ignore it - believing it wa...

    LAW OF LOVE   by Rizza Acero of Buenavista, ADN Did you know that the most important of Divine Laws is the 'law of love.' Put simply, "L o v e i s L a w , L a w i s L o v e." This amounts to the same thing as "the gift of giving" without the hope of reward or pay, or serving others. When you do the right thing for others you receive gifts in unexpected ways. Paradoxically, those who help you may not be those you help. The help you receive may come from surprisingly distant connections. Emptiness Does anyone see me for who I am? Why do I feel like I am walking this life alone? Did you know that you were created with a need to be in relationship? Yet we often experience the pain of being alone, sometimes even in the middle of a crowd of people. I want to share this short prayers to all... "Dear Jesus, I need you to fill my void of emptiness and lack of purpose. Please forgive me of my sin and bring fulfillment to me. I surrender m...

GOD'S WONDERFUL CREATIONS by Joanne Adormeo  of LNHS Pre-marital sex and teenage pregnancies causing abortions are some of the factors that destructed the country's image (Philippines). These factors decreased one's dignity and had hindered lives to flourish and discover God's wonderful creations. These calls for something or someone that could prevent those life destructive deeds. Pure Love Network is a very big help, with it's main advocacy "Preserving Chastity Until Marriage". It is a network making God the center. Man is the temple of the Holy Spirit. It should be always clean, free from sin. I believed that man was created to live, to prepare himself for the nest life - life after death, not to make him/herself sinful. I know in the years to come, this network will produce clean, high-dignity and God fearing individuals.
