There are moments in life that make us question our deepest purpose. We often confuse merely surviving with truly living, and sometimes, we even make peace with the chaos that surrounds us, getting lost in the noise.

"The Pursuit of Happiness" beautifully captures how life can be incredibly hard, unexpectedly challenging, yet profoundly beautiful all at once. This film teaches us a powerful lesson: even when you're dealt a tough hand, it's entirely up to you to turn those cards around. It shows us that pursuing your dreams, no matter when you start, is always worth it. You can go from sleeping in a train station bathroom to becoming a successful stockbroker living in a sky-high penthouse, all because of unwavering passion and dedication.

The world moves fast, it’s continuous, and it often feels like it only gets harder as you grow up. Our tomorrow is never guaranteed, and with that uncertainty comes our peace and security. We must stand tall with integrity and humility, always remembering we are here for a reason. We hold onto those "in-between" moments in our lives, clinging to them when we feel like giving up. We survive and excel for the sacrifices our parents made, for the friends who have stood by us through every season, for the promises we made to our five-year-old selves, and for the life we have always prayed for.

As we embark on this new academic year, let us remember, Paulinians, that there is nothing we cannot do, nothing we cannot surpass, when we are illuminated by the grace of God and the fire of our dedication.

Life begins like a single speck of dust – small, unnoticed, and seemingly irrelevant. Yet, once breath is given to that tiny particle, it is transformed – value is added to it. Life is a journey to the unknown, a path without clear direction, and no certainty of what lies ahead.

We lived, most of our lives, in places where we find comfort. In places where we can be who we truly are. With people who understand us - our thoughts, our ways, and our hearts. In the sights of people who lift us up when we fall and wipe our tears when we cry. Places we call our home. In there, we find not only comfort, but love, care, and acceptance. But times will roll, years will pass, and no matter how much we wish to stay, life eventually calls us out of that safe space to dwell in unfamiliar places far from where we've grown to love. Into places where failure is inevitable, where not all of our words will matter, where our actions will be judged no matter what our intentions are.

It is daunting to think that nobody will be exempted from going out of the safe space, yet it is comforting to know that we are not the only one to experience all the brokenness that comes together with it. In one point in time, we will all feel the same pain, the same shame, the same fear. There, we will understand that regardless of our beginnings and achievements, there is a crossroad where we meet one another.
A crossroad of growth.
A crossroad of transformation.
A crossroad of comfort rediscovered in new forms.
As this crossroad approaches, let us embrace it in our imperfections and fears - because life in all its mystery - is meant to unfold.

Through the storms, through it all—the Paulinian spirit stands strong and unshaken.

After a week of stormy skies, shifting from classroom walls to computer screens, Paulinians stood strong—showing an unwavering commitment to move forward despite it all. As we get back on track and prepare to face what we've missed, let’s welcome this week fueled with passion. Let’s rise, push forward, and jump back into books and lectures once more. We may have been slowed down, but let nothing hold us back from persevering with purpose.

Each challenge only strengthens our will to move towards growth as Paulinians, with hearts rooted in faith and resilience. ⚜️

"Being a Paulinian isn't a casual status. You're not a Paulinian simply because you're enrolled in this institution, or merely because you wear the uniform and are given an ID. Being a Paulinian is a way of life. If you truly commit and practice it, Paulinian spirituality—a Paulinian way of life where the 5Cs you've reflected upon are genuinely realized—emerges," emphasized Rev. Fr. Rainnielle Pineda, Parish Priest of San Isidro Labrador Parish in Malhacan, Meycauayan, Bulacan. His homily, centered on the Holy Gospel of Matthew 12:1–8, coincided with the Friday of the Fifteenth Week in Ordinary Time and the completion of the RE08: Paul and His Teachings course by the 4th Year Education students, whom he also teaches.

Fr. Pineda's homily also highlighted spirituality, the significance of Sunday as the Lord's Day, and the importance of nourishing both our physical and spiritual bodies through rest and Mass attendance. He reinforced this with Pope John Paul II's powerful call: "Treat every Sunday as Easter Sunday." Additionally, he specifically focused on the life and mission of St. Paul and the Paulinian way of life.

The 4th Year Education students, with assistance from the Christian Formation Office, organized the entire Mass and its preparations as their final activity.

Before the Mass, the 4th Year students from the Education Department, who are taking the courses RE07: Christian Vocations and Sacraments Commission and RE08: Paul and His Teaching, held simultaneous recollection activities for the 1st Year students enrolled in RE01: Revelation and Faith in the Old Testament. RE01 and RE07 are the courses currently taken by the 1st Year and 4th Year students, respectively, with Mrs. Maricel P. De Guzman serving as their professor in both subjects.

Themed "Living the Legacy of St. Paul: Nourished Faith, Committed Mission" these sessions introduced the freshmen to Paul's life, conversion, missionary journeys, and the values that are now etched into the hearts of every Paulinian and immortalized as the institution's core values.

𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐬𝐨 𝐝𝐨 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫𝐬.

In the past few days, unpredictable weather has swept across our communities, reminding us of nature’s immense power and the vulnerability we all share in the face of it. As heavy rains pour and strong winds howl, one message rises above the noise: We are praying for everyone’s safety.

In this kind of situation, a prayer carries the weight of empathy, unity, and hope. We think of the families whose daily lives are interrupted by flooding, power outages, and uncertainty. As Paulinians, we're guided by the spirit of compassion and charity, striving to be caring and committed advocates for universal well-being.

Our prayers go beyond words—they are a call for action, compassion, and care. Let us check in on each other. Let us be vigilant. And let us never underestimate the value of kindness during tough times.

To the responders, volunteers, and silent heroes making sure we’re all safe—thank you.

To everyone who’s reading this: your well-being matters. Prioritize safety. Stay informed. And when skies seem darkest, remember that storms always pass.

Let’s continue to hold each other in prayer and in action. ⚜️

6:00 AM. You jolted awake, not from the nightmare—though it was probably the worst one in a while—but from your loud alarm, blaring like it craved attention. The bad dream still clung to your memory, but it didn't matter anymore, especially when faced with the familiar weight of reality.

You pull yourself together, out of bed and into the kitchen. Clean, white marble, seemingly untouched by chaos, greeted you. The fancy look wasn't your concern; you headed straight for the kettle, and soon, steam began to rise.

A mug in one hand, a red plastic packet labeled "original" in the other. Not the fancy, "gold" or "premium" kind, just your average 3-in-1 coffee—honest, familiar, and a tad bit bitter, like most mornings. It's usually just what you need.

You sipped. It burned, but you drank it. The warmth of the caffeinated liquid slowly seeped in, replacing the cold grip of the comfortable bed and of sleep.
You felt it—not just the hard kick of caffeine, but the clarity. Not fully awake yet, but almost there. That's the start you crave.

The earlier nightmare faded slowly, like your drowsiness. You didn't cling to it. You rose like you always do—not with grace or perfection—but fully, confidently, and stubbornly. You let go of the problems you carried yesterday. And in their place, something new: momentum.

As we step into Week 4, the excitement of a new school year begins to settle into a routine. The early rush of introductions, new subjects, and the "getting-to-know-each-other" phase is starting to fade, and the real learning work has begun. As challenges and struggles begin to surface, we discover a quiet strength within us. ⚜️

Each day, our courage grows and adapts, and our perseverance deepens. It is through these small, daily efforts that we continue to shape not only our skills but also our character. 💚

Don't forget to take a moment to breathe, rest, and relax this weekend, Paulinians. ☔️
