Monologue (Hermes)

     I'm going to be Hermes for our Monologue in CAE class. I had a hard time writing my script and I hope this is alright. This goes more or less one minute. I'm going to perform on Tuesday already and I'm kinda nervous. I have to practice more!

"This is unfair! I’m a god just like the rest of them but I always get the grunt work, the mindless labor, and I never say a word! I get up early then I spend the whole day rushing Zeus’ messages back and forth, up and down. It’s not enough that I’m busy all day delivering Zeus’ proclamations, the dead must have their share of me too. Oh, I remember that time when daddy Zeus sent me on a mission to save Persephone from the underworld! That was an extremely creepy journey. Then when I went all the way to get there, Hades wouldn’t give in! So I had to think fast and make a deal. And yeah, I guess Demeter was cool with it. If you were in my place, I’m sure you would find my job pretty hard. So that’s me, Hermes! The son of Zeus and Maia. The messenger of the gods and leads the souls of the dead into the afterlife. Now you’ve heard my story in Greek Mythology, let’s see what story I can bring to your time today as your modern-day mailman! Better check your mailboxes!"

Hip hop Tuesdays

     Every tuesday afternoon we have hip hop classes in school. It's really fun though there are only ten of us. Our dance moves are unique and the beat is fast so it's really a challenge for us. Dancing makes me alive and happy. It makes me forget all my problems and just go with the flow. That's what I really need right now since we're really busy in our 4th year life. I'll post pictures and videos of us next time if we have one :)

ACAT

     Assumption College Achievement Test, for short ACAT. We took this test last January 27 in school. This is for those who want to go to Assumption San Lorenzo. We started around 8 am and ended around 10:30 or 11 am. The test wasn't that easy but it's not very hard too even though I haven't reviewed at all. I was happy that I finished everything on time and I knew I did my best in answering the test. I hope that when the results are out I will be happy too. Even though my mom wouldn't allow me to study in Manila, I still want to pass the test because it's really different if you know you've passed. This saturday we're going to take the UPCAT and I'm really scared because I know it will be hard. Wish me luck!

Leadership Camp 2013 "Leadership Empowerment: Conquering Fears and Peers'

     This was our last Leadership Training and it was the best ever! It was our first time to sleep in school and we were very excited. We had fun with the different activities and we had time to interact with the lower years. I met new friends and learned many things. I especially learned how to take a bath really fast! Imagine! We only had 10 minutes to take a bath! I'm so proud of myself that I wasn't last. Manang Shaira Gonzaga was our speaker and she was really good. She inspired me to do be a good leader, to be a better person, and to never give up. We also had a boodle fight though it wasn't really a fight. The food was delicious especially the pineapple. It was sweet :)

So this was our food in the Boodle Fight. There's chicken, chopsuey, banana, watermelon and pineapple.

This was after watching the movie "The Five People You Meet in Heaven".

We also received our Certificate of Attendance, token and I.D. 

And here we are, the 4th year officers (though we're not complete here).

     So, this was our last Leadership Training. I will surely remember this and will live out my learnings here. This quote was what Manang Shaira shared to us and I believe in it, "the moment you adjust is a sign of intelligence".

Be Original

     The photo says it all. Let's admit it. We're afraid to make mistakes or do wrong, right? Maybe there's a little part inside you that says yes or no or is even in denial. Everybody makes mistakes, so it's normal. Don't be afraid to be different. Stand out. Be who you are. Explore yourself and discover what's been hidden inside you. Share it. Live it. Be original.

#Throwback

(From left to right: Shiela, Paola, Emelyn, Christia, Kristal, Denise, Katrina, and Me)

     

     Hashtag throwback. Guess how old are we here? We're ten! We're so innocent and young back when we were in grade 4. These are my group of friends but we're not complete in this photo. All of them transferred after we graduated in grade school. Only Shiela, Kristal, and I are left here in Assumption. Until now, the three of us are still best friends and with the 13 other members, we call our group PRX44 (Power Rangers X44). Anyway, that's another long story. I'll try to post some PRX44 stuff next time :)

Show Your Solution

     This is so true! Most of us can really relate to it. And I find this photo funny because aside from the fact that it's true, Jose's face is there =)) Anyway, have you ever had those terrifying moments when you saw these three words "SHOW YOUR SOLUTION"? I bet you said, "Oh noooo! I don't know what to answer!" and stuff like that. Well, I know that feeling. Feels like earth has been dumped to your head. And when it's time to check, turns out the solution was pretty easy -__- (not most of the time though). So, if you don't want this to happen again, you better study. HARD. :)
