IMPROVING MYSELF As months go by, encountering problems and challenges weren't new to me anymore. I mean, I was not that surprised like, "Oh no! How terrible my life is. Why do I need to suffer this much. Wasn't it enough to prove that I am capable of addressing this problems and challenges that are trying to push me down?". Instead, I feel grateful. Why? New problems and challenges mean new lessons to learn. And I can proudly and truly say that I learned this inside a classroom and a chair at a corner.  If First Quarter was a challenge for me, this Second Quarter was a thousand times much better. This is because I was capable of having more and more friends that make me even more confident than the last time I was typing my reflection from the past quarter. I can say that this change improved me so much. Changes that of course, has a big contribution for my studies this quarter - more stories to read, more mathematical problems to solve, more discoveries to...

             Every school year, there are somewhat day/s wherein we get so excited. One of these is the Intramurals, an event in the school showcasing the student's capabilities and skills in sports. Many students like me are looking forward with these event. Who would't anyway? Two days of a sportsfest-like event, vacancy periods and freedom. Let me start sharing my insights about the recently concluded Intramurals in our school, shall we?                                         September 18-19 were the scheduled days for the said event in our school. The opening program was conducted last September 17, 2014. The highlight of these is the Parade of the players from Grade 7 to 4th Year. On the first day of the Intramurals, I can see faces of excitement and happiness as I enter the gates of the school. The Intams fever had finally began upon watching...

            When I was still in First Year, our adviser once told us, "You are like clays and we are your molders. We mold you to become better people and to serve others in the future." Until now that I am already in 4th Year, I can still remember this statement of hers. Why? Because that was the most meaningful statement that could define a teacher. Without teachers, there will also be no professions. Without professions, this world will also be like iced tea without ice cubes, it will be worthless, useless and plain world. That's why I consider teachers as saviors for a progressive nation, in short, a HERO.         A hero can fly, right? Teachers can’t. Heroes have superpowers, don’t they? Teachers haven’t. But do heroes impart knowledge? Do they improve us to become better people? Do they answer our questions? Do they eventually serve as second parents to us? Don’t be silly. They don’t, Teachers do. The things they do and the...

       The Month of September had finally started. For some, it is a sign that Christmas Day is coming near. In short, the start of what we call "Ber Months"! But for the students under Science's control, it is the National Science Club Month (NSCM). This is mandated in Proclamation 264, which then-President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo signed in September 2002. This year's NSCM theme is "Immunation: Arming Science Clubbers with Healthful Defenses Toward National Wellness".          The Philippine Society of Youth Science Clubs (PSYSC) explained the rationale behind the theme as follows: "It is a play on ammunition and immunization. We would like our science clubber to be armed/ to be immune against diseases through imparting knowledge about disease, how they spread etc. Our goal is not only the science clubbers that benefit from this knowledge but also their school and communities and thus leading to national wellness". Their aim truly rem...

           Calling everyone who wants to be a hero! Worry no more! You don't need to gather up your weapons and have superpowers. All you need is to have the spirit of nobility, bravery and heroism. It might not be probably lurking on your familiarity and knowledge about the news regarding the heroism of a dog who saved girls who were about to be ran down. Oh, how about the Taxi driver who returned a large amount of money left on his Taxi by a passenger. You had probably read on articles about the OFWs as Modern Day Heroes. Well, we can't judge them for whom they want to consider as heroes because everyone has their own so called "IDOLS" whom they see the qualities of a hero.            Teachers, yes! They are my Modern Day Heroes, why? Simply because without them, there will also be no professions. Aside from their responsibility of answering our questions and filling the blanks in our knowledge and understanding, they ...

           Taun-taon, ang buong Pilipinas ay nagdidiwang tuwing Buwan ng Agosto. Bakit? Dahil ang buwan lang naman na ito ay kung kailan isinilang ang ating "Ama ng Wikang Pambansa" na si Manuel Luiz Quezon. Siya ay tinaguriang "Ama ng Wikang Pambansa" dahil siya ang nagsulong na gumamit na lang ng isang wika ang ating bansa nang sa gayon ay mapadali ang pagkakaintindihan ng bawat mamamayang Pilipino. Ang wikang kaniyang tinutukoy ay ang natatangi nating Wikang Pambansa, ang Wikang Filipino. Ito ang dahilan kung bakit ang buwan ng Agosto ang Buwan ng Wika ng Pilipinas.         Simula pa ng magsimula ang selebrasyon ng Buwan ng Wika, tuwing taon ay may iba't ibang tema na siyang tumutulong upang mabigyan, maisulong at mapatingkad ang kahulugan kung bakit kailangan pang ipagdiwang ang Buwan ng Wika. Ang tema ng Buwan ng Wika para sa taong ito ay "Wika ng Pagkakaisa". Para sa akin, nais ipabatid ng pariralang ito na ang Wikang Fili...

        Numbers will feel very shy on how much I’ve learned for two months in the First Grading Period. Back when I was still in First Year, what I expected were learning the basic studies that a High School student has to learn. Math, Science, English, Filipino, MAPEH, Araling Panlipunan, Values Education and TLE are the subjects that our first adviser introduced to us. But, there was a subject that made me curious, TLE (Technology and Livelihood Education). Electronics is what we studied in the field of TLE when we are still First and Second Year High School Students. When we are at Third Year High School, this is when ICT and I met. I was so excited. Why? Are you kidding? I never thought that using computers (especially surfing the Internet) that my parents hate for me to do and studying that my parents want me to do merged together and luckily, I get to study this subject. Now that I’m a Fourth Year High School Student, our teacher introduced to us BLOGGING. T...
