WATTA WEEK! :))

I really like this week because I'm busy ( I'm actually lazy on doing such projects, assignments, etc. but I wonder why I did it! I think I'm not irresponsible anymore..:P) .

First, on our Filipino2, we were assigned to make a research paper and its defense will serve as our final exam. Btw, our topic was about "Family Planning para sa mga Mahihirap". We will ask such families if they were aware of the Family Planning before they bore they children. It was Monday when we worked on our project and our first target was on Tambacan. It was my first time to hear that place and I was excited to go there ( ADVENTURE eh? ). LOL! When we went there, I was shocked, that place was currently occupied by Badjaos. We really enjoyed going there because we'll first cross the hanging bridge ( Nahadlok ako mga kauban sa hanging bridge! Alangan, giuyog man sad nila! hahaha ) . When we're already in our target place, we then went on some houses to interview them about our topic. The first family we interviewed to which their mother represented has 12 siblings ( WA DAW SILAY LIMIT! XDD ). After interviewing her, we then went on other houses to interview again, and so on, and so forth..:)) After interviewing two two familes in Tambacan, we then went to Gawad Kalinga in Saray. Well, we interviewed eight families there and answered very well our questions. After our activity, we then went home and rested..(That was very adventurous. Kapoy magpost sa amo mga adventure chenness! XDD )

It was today, Thursday when we worked again for our research paper. We will ask families again but our target was on Tibanga ( Back of IIT ). That time, we found a street children (basta yagit..lol), and we asked him and bribed him..hahaha! we asked him about his family. He was actually from Gawas Kalinga By the Sea (still in Tibanga). So, we then went there and interviewed 2 families. After doing our job, we went to Mr. Baker's to have some snack and then we went back to school.

It was 3:30 P.M, still Thursday, when I went to school because I will be asked about my outline. But sad to say, Ma'am Lynnie wasn't there because her daughter got sick. So, my schedule will be again moved next week.


I hope that Ma'am Lynnie's daughter will get well soon. Don't worry ma'am, I will pray for that! :D WATTA WEEK! XD

Blogging ends..o.O

This month, our blogging in English 2 ends. I would like to thank Ma'am Lynnie because now, I know how to blog ( I really didn't know how to blog before~ XD ). Since our blogging in Eng2 has been closed now, I will use this blog as my journal to which I will wrote here my daily doings.

SAYONARA English 2 blogging and MOSHI MOSHI for my new journal. :D

Projects? >:/

Final exam is almost near, February is almost ending. So, assignments and projects are fast approaching. This week, we have to pass our note cards and our sentence outline in English 2 this coming Tuesday and we will also pass our first draft of the term paper this coming Friday; we are assigned to pass our project in NatSci which is the powerpoint presentation about "Mixtures and Solutions" this coming Friday also; and, we are going to work on our concept paper in Filipino 2 to be passed this coming 2nd week of March.

Hahay! Too many assignments and projects to make! I hope that I can pass it on time...AJA!

Comment, comment, comment...:))

Our activity last meeting was about sentence outlining. Well, it was quiet difficult because you have to think of what would be on the Roman numeral number 1, 2, 3 and etc. But Thank God, we made it even though it was on eleventh hour. XD After that, we reported our work and our group, Group 3, was tasked to comment on the work of Group 2 and Group 4 will comment on ours. Even though our work had many errors, it's still okay because it's a big help to us since we will learn from it.

This week, we will be having again an activity. We will be given some references, skim on it, then identify on where does it belong on the given sentence outline. I'm looking forward to it and I hope that I will enjoy the activity...GO GROUP 3!

Reaction Essay. "Cracking Population"

Calling to mind the situation of the country, one would think that it is all because of poverty. Poverty pulls every part of this country’s heart and soul down. Tracking what causes poverty, most will think of overpopulation.

Overpopulation, like all other things has its pros and cons. The good thing about the increase in population is the possible increase in production of goods, and also a “stock” of human ingenuity. Even with these positive effects, its negatives overshadow them completely. An increase in population will decline the standards of living in most families. Most will have problems when they have more mouths to feed, more tuition fees to pay for, and more trash to dispose. In the end, these problems will affect the future generations. Children will be seen selling flowers on the streets for their food and education, and trash will be seen almost everywhere. Because of the increase, the government would also have a hard time providing these families with health and educational support.

No wonder poverty is crippling this country from economic growth, right?

Wrong! When one would think about it carefully, poverty does not stop if we find a way to control population growth. The only way to stop the increase in population is to decrease poverty, not the other way around. This can be seen in our current society. Some people believe, especially when they experience poverty that having more children will help improve their economic situation in the future. This will then lead to further increase in population. As Karl Marx reasoned, “rapid population growth is a consequence of economical and social inequalities, not its cause.”

It is true that overpopulation cannot be stopped in the modern day Philippines, but poverty can be decreased. The social and economical inequalities can be decreased by a significant amount if the government will impose stricter policies in tax paying and prevent corruption. To us citizens, we could do our part by simply being a good citizen, pay the right dues to the government, and be properly informed about family planning. With these possible improvements, there will be better health and educational support from the government. This will give more children the chance to have their education, and will soon increase the standards of education of the schools, give way to economic growth, and so on. This will then lead to a series of chain reactions that will control the growth of the country’s population since poverty will be minimized.

At the end of the day, it must be pointed out that solely increasing or decreasing population growth does not spell the development of this country, or any country for that matter. There is also a need for greater initiative, a more equal distribution of both wealth and power, and a more efficient use of the resources as the remedy to the country’s underdevelopment. With these, modernization and development will soon come, a rapid decline in fertility will then follow, and ultimately, the increase in the standards of living will be evident.

Extemporaneous!!! lmao.

Last Wednesday, our class in English 3 talked about the stress emphasis. Well, it's very simple to stress words but reading it, it's quiet hard. Our class became very funny because we sometimes stressed the words wrongly, and Sir Toto kept on laughing at us the time we read the words in the wrong stress.

Upon reading the words with stresses, we wondered why the word "extemporaneous" belongs to the words with stress on the fifth syllable. So I read it, then Sir Toto was like ROFL. He laughed out loud because I read it in a wrong syllable. The class was like a market that time because they also laughed due to the reason that Sir Toto laughed uniquely. After the lesson, we had our quiz. I was so depressed because I didn't pass, my score was just 14/20. One more points to pass the quiz. But still I was happy because the class was very fun. I hope that my other classes were like on my English3 class...EXTEMPORANEOUS!

I'm back! xD

It's been a while that I didn't post in my blog. Well, I really don't want to blog because I'm not used to blogging. Since, this is a requirement on English 2, I'll train myself to write on my blog every week. Hope that it works.

Last morning, me with my classmates took up the Prelim Exam in English 2. I was really tensed that time because I didn't study. So, before I started the test, I prayed and hoped that I can answer all of the questions on the test paper. So, the test started. That time, I was depending on my stack knowledge. Well, the test was quiet easy because one of my talents in English is to arrange the sentences and identifying the topic sentence. But i was stacked on the last part of the test, the composition writing. I was like "lol" because I am really lazy on writing, so I tried myself to write. Thank God! I finished outlining but the time was really short for me to write my final draft, so I wrote it very fast in order to complete the task on the last part of the test. Sad to say, I didn't finished it, and it was like one paragraph that I wrote on my paper. I was depressed after the exam but still thankful that God answered my prayer. I LOVE YOU LORD!
