Welcome Back, CHMSUans!

Starting off the year strong by ending the semester with academic abundance!

Endterm Season is here, may you all ace those exams and wipe out all the requirements needed at your own pace. Remember, it’s okay to slow down when needed; what matters is coming back even stronger.

Let's hold our heads high together! Padayon!

| I don't think I have what it takes.

There is no evening when I don’t question whether I truly belong where I am right now. The pressure of proving myself worthy of someone else’s praise grips my wrists tighter each night—putting my pulse to a halt, eventually lulling me to sleep.

Like most people, I woke up one morning and decided to consider myself a jack of all trades, master of none—someone who makes others believe that it’s pretty fun to have so many interests, while hiding the fact that it feels like a hard slap in the face to realize that I’m not good at anything. It’s not talent that keeps me moving; it’s the need to show that I can do something.

Somewhere along the way, I learned to mistake movement for direction. I keep myself busy so I don’t have to confront the silence that asks what I truly want, or who I might be if I stopped performing. Perhaps this constant reaching isn’t proof of emptiness, but of a longing to belong—to something, to someone, or even to myself.

Yes, it is quite performative, but it’s the only way I know to survive.

I often feel lost in places and moments I should have already known. I don’t know what to do; I don’t know where to start. It’s hard to navigate when there are so many thoughts cluttering the mind, yet I’m too tired to smooth them out.

I don’t think I have what it takes to make it—but I hope to gather enough courage to get it done.

Sa pagtakop sang tuig 2025, magabukas ang bag-o kag mabinungahon nga tuig 2026.

Madamo man sang nga inagyan, kabudlayan kag pag-antos—bagyo, linog, problema sa pamilya, nagaisahanon, kag kabug-at sang pangabuhi—ini tanan aton nalampuwasan.

Wala sing kasiguraduhan ang nagapadulong nga mga inadlaw. Ang padayon nga pag-atubang sa mga inagyan nga tinion ang pruweba sang gin-agom nga kusog kag paglaum.

Biskan nalampuwasan na ang madamo nga kasakit, kabay nga sa bag-ong tuig, indi lang kita mangabuhi para lang makalampuwas, kundi mabatyagan gid ang kabuhi—ang katawhay, kalipay, kag ang kahilwayan bisan sa pinakagamay nga mga butang.

Sa gihapon aton pangaptan ang paglaum nga sa ining tuig 2026 kita maka-ambit sang katam-is sang kabuhi kag kalipay nga hugot sa taguipusoon.

Nakaabot ka diri—kag amo ina ang pinaka-importante.

In hours less than you've spent binge watching movies in your pajamas, moments you've enjoyed with your pals beneath the surface of the sun, and times you lulled yourself to sleep when nights grew colder, the year 2025 is about to end.

We can keep it in a sealed jar, a box above the cabinet where dust may accumulate in coming years, or even seal it in a letter written for your future self.

But, what is one thing: a belief, a friendship, or a habit you've outgrown this year and not choosing to carry it to 2026?

In this Journey's End, let us recall the would haves, could haves, and should haves this 2025. Let it be a reminder to our future selves, that a new beginning is always available after 365 days of helplessness, happiness, and soliloquy. That we can always choose to discard or keep fragments of who we are woven in our hearts, for brighter days ahead.

| you can’t write anymore (or maybe you don’t have it in you)

every day feels like a deep sigh. like chasing something that slipped through your fingers long ago. you didn’t just wake up to find something dearest to you slowly dying–it’s the quiet, gnawing question of whether you even cared enough to keep it alive.

maybe you were drawn to it once because it felt like an escape. a place to feel safe. there were times when words weren’t enough, and more often, they were too much. sometimes you thought none of it made sense, and no one would understand, but you didn’t care. you cared more about the space that allowed you to exist without needing to be seen or heard. not because it didn’t matter, but because for once, you were allowed to simply be there.

now you can’t write anymore. you can’t remember when you started or when you realized you were doing it at all. you were never trying to be great at it, and maybe you never will be, because it was never meant to be a performance you needed to master.

somewhere along the way, writing became an obligation. it cuts through your flesh and breaks through your bones. you’re expected to bleed before grieving–expected to spill before you could even know the pain. and that hurts more than the wound itself, because it denies you the right to feel first.

it chokes you. you feel it in your throat, heavy in your stomach. the weight of it rots and presses against you before you can even name it. you’re already gasping for breath before you could even have the chance to lose it. and it’s not just about writing. it’s about losing something before you could truly own it.

i can’t write anymore. or maybe, i don’t want to–and that is my tragedy.

| Araw ni Rizal

Hindi sandata ang kanyang hawak, ngunit tinta at talino. Hindi galit ang kanyang dala, ngunit mga salitang naglalaman ng katotohanan at walang kupas na pagmamahal sa bansa. Si G*t Jose Rizal na itinuturing bilang pambansang bayani ng Pilipinas ay pumanaw na may dangal at katarungan. Kaya sa araw na ito, ating alalahanin ang kanyang sakripisyo, ang kanyang buhay, at mga nagawa upang makamit ang kalayaan laban sa marahas na pananakop ng mga Espanyol.

Sa kanyang libro na El Filibusterismo, binigyang diin ni Rizal ang kahalagahang ipaglaban ang kalayaan laban sa paulit-ulit na siklo ng pang-aabuso: “Pasasaan pa ang kalayaan, kung ang mga alipin ngayon ay sila din namang mang-aalipin bukas,” Mga salitang humahamon sa bawat Pilipino, nagliliyab ng makapangyarihang apoy ng pag-asa, at nagpupukaw sa mga matang nakasanayan ang pang-aapi at paglapastangan, noon hanggang sa kasalukuyan.

Si Rizal ay hindi lamang bayani ng nakaraan– siya ay nagsisilbing simbolo ng paninindigan sa bayan, katapangan, at pagpapakatao sa anumang oras o lakad ng mundo. Ang kanyang kamatayan ay hindi wakas, ngunit ito ay simula ng pagbabago. Nawa’y ang kanyang diwa ay patuloy na dumadaloy sa ating kapwa mamamayan, at maging dahilan upang ipagpatuloy ang pagpuksa sa gobyernong puno ng katiwalian at korapsyon. Magsilbing alaala ang araw na ito na huwag itigil ang laban na sinimulan ni G*t Jose Rizal.

2 DAYS BEFORE NEW YEAR – Ready or not, 2026 is peeking over our shoulders

The past year felt like a season finale – packed with plot twists and life challenges we definitely didn’t order upfront – yet, here we are.

Some wins exploded like fireworks across the skies; others slipped quietly through our fingers. Some chances ghosted us; others gave unforgettable “character development” moments.

In two days, as the dark skies lit up and the streets grow louder, we jump to hit the reset button. New wins, new chances–yet we are still the main character of the year.
