Nutrition month

            Here we are again, the month of July. Every year we celebrate this so called "nutrition month". And for this year's theme is healthy diet gawing habit for life. It aims for the reduction of obesity.

            We celebrated nutrition month on July 28, 2017. The programs went by like this first is nutri walk. Followed by the zumba

       

           Then nutri chef.     Nutri chef was very delightful and pleasing to the nose because of their food. The contestants or Chevies must pick ingredients from a table. They cannot use their own ingredients or else they will be disqualified. Here is a

Picture of the ingredients they used. There are different Chevies from different grade level and section. Here are also some pictures of the Chevies and their food.

           After the nutri chef we had our lunch   break. After our lunch break was the preparation of the afternoon activities or programs. The Mr and Mrs healthy is almost like the main event for nutrition month. But before that the winner of the jingle competition must repeat their performance. The winner was grade 10 perseverance. We prepared for the repeat performance. Here is a picture

 Of our repeat performance. After here is the main event for today, the Mr and Mrs healthy. All the contestants are really prepared. They have shown us that they deserve to be Mr and Mrs healthy. In this program first was they will wear their costumes followed by their formal attire. Then for the finale it is question and answer portion.

And for the last part of the nutrition month celebration is the awarding, it's also served as a closing remarks.

Yes we all have heard of the gigantic shoe and sportswear company but did you know that the Nike is the Greek goddess of victory? Not only victory but also Goddess of speed and strength. Nike was the winged goddess of victory, victory both in war and in peaceful competition. When Zeus was gathering allies at the start of the Titan War, Styx brought her four children Nike (Victory), Zelos (Rivalry), Kratos (Cratus Strength) and Bia (Force) into the god's service. Nike was appointed his charioteer and together the four became sentinels of Zeus' throne. In scenes of the War of the Giants she appears as the charioteer of Zeus. In mosaic art and coins Nike is often shown holding a palm branch as a symbol of victory.

The secret within the loop

So how did we manage to come this far ?

We’ve tried so hard and got so far

But will there be an end ?

What’s the meaning of this endless loop of emotions

What? what ? To make us suffer

Suffer from what?

From living ? Afraid of what’s next ?

Expecting the unexpected ?

But how ? That’s why it’s called unexpected right ?

So what do we expect ?

Do we expect that everything will be fine ?

Everything is okay ?

Everything will go your way ?

Expecting is like betting

Risking your life at things that you believe in

Believing is almost like an illusion

People will make you believe

That dogs can knock

Cats can talk

And fish can walk

Hoping that one day you’ll understand why ?

As the loop continues

Time slowly drift away

Fading , bit by bit

Have you ever wondered why everything is limited ?

Our lifespan may reach a hundred years

but we know for sure that it Isn’t enough

Have you spend it wisely

Or just stupidly wasting your time

No one knows when is the right time

The right place

The right thing to do

It’s always about right

Why what’s wrong with left

If you were to choose between left or right

Do you want to be left out

Or to always be right

Decision is the hardest thing we do

It is between B and D

Between birth and death

But why did we make our own decisions just to regret

Made our own path just to get lost

Made memories just to forget

How , how was this possible

How did a positive man

Became a negative man

How? In just a blink of an eye

People do change

It’s up to us when to start

Cause changing is the only possible solution

But is this even right ?

Can this be stop ?

Yes this can be stop

But only yourself can stop you from changing

Pardo night

                         Pardo night

              The ACT (asian college of technology) prepared many presentation for that one night. Each performers had a unique way to present. Each of them have practice well for the pardo night. 

              When i got there (around 7-8 pm)

It started to rain. So the stage was transfered inside the gym behind the church (pardo church). We slowly transfered the speakers and etc inside the gym and arrange the chairs. After that the performers need to get ready (need to wear their costumes and have make up). Almost all of dancers were nervous. They were worried about what might happen and all. But the show must go on, so the program started (it started around 9-10 pm). Some of the performers used a music that i haven't heard before. And they Also have some weird dance steps that i haven't seen before

  

                   In the picture above. You can see some of the dancers there. Those dancers perform an interpretative dance of the new generation. In their presentation, each one of them has a role. There were drug addicts, rapist, snatcher and etc. We can see these everywhere in our daily lives. These have been secretly happening on our surroundings. Some people haven't realized these things are actually happening. And some are even saying that those aren't real. But i know for sure that this problem is real and we need to find a better solution. 

                      The program wasn't bad but it was good instead. It was cool. Many people went there and watch. Each performance had a unique lesson. Just like the interpretative dance. In that dance i've learned that our society is totaly corrupted but everyone has the chance to change. Everyone has the potential to be a good citizen and can help stop corruption from spreading.

                    In the end we (my friends and my other friends) have learned many things during pardo night. We've also discovered  a lot of things even tho it was just one night. So i will say congratulation to everyone who perform. It was a big success and everyone have done their best to perform

Field demonstration

                              Propsmen

             Me as a propsmen or props maker. We have only have a few week to make the props (a corn and a banana leaf). The propsmen were divided into groups, each group has three members and must make or create one banana leaf and one corn

 

        This is how a banana leaf looks like. In making this leaf my group was assign to bring a material individually (like cartolina, glue, etc). My group successfully brought all the materials need to make the leaf. So few days after we finish our leaf (banana leaf with bamboo and lipak at the back). So we started with our corn, same thing happen. We bought the materials and finish making the corn. Now we join the dance (but not literally dancing, we are just going bring the crops around while the others are dancing). We didn't have much time to practice (only for propsmen because we were too busy making the props).

               And then it was time for the actual presentation or dance. Me and the other propsman were scared and all. But we found the courage to do our task properly and the dance was a success. The dance maybe a success but the props aren't because some groups haven't done their task yet. Some groups were taking their time in making their props. In the end only made 7 banana leaves and 4 corns (we need to make 9 banana leaves and 9 corns).

                So in the end atleast we had fun making the props. We enjoyed the dance. And of course everybody did their best (the dancers, the propsmen and etc). We may have failed to reach our goal (to make 9 banana leaves and corns) but we are going to try our best next time. So better luck next time to us.

   

Pambansang Kasuotan

   

        Ang Pilipinas ay isang bansa matatagpuan sa South 
East sa World map at mayroon 7000 + islands. Ang capital ng Pilipinas ay Manila. Maraming kultura. Marami din Lingguwahe. At Marami din uri ng Pambansang Kasuotan.


                 Sa na research ko sa internet.  Mapatunayan    ko     talaga     na maraming     pambansang    kasuotan   dito    sa  Philippines   dahil   sa   link   na   ito ( link Mga iba't ibang Pambansang Kasuotan)  

          Para sa akin, ang pinakamalapit kong maiugnay sa damit ko ay ang Barong Tagalog.
Ang Barong Tagalog ay ginawa sa Luzon sa panahon na bago dumating ang Spanish Era.  Ang Barong Tagalog ay karaniwang kasuotan at dahil diyan tinawag na itong Pambansang Kasuotan noon hanggang ngayon. May dalawang uri ng tela sa pag gawa ng Barong Tagalog.

ang Una(1) ay Pinya, sa dahon ng pinya nila kinuha upang makagawa ng Barong Tagalog, kasi ang dahon sa pinya ginagamit lang ito kapag mayroon espesyal na okasyon. Ikalawa(2) ay ang abaca (banana silk) ito ay ginagamit lang kapag pormal na okasyon.

           Sa araw ngayon kakaunti nalang gumagamit sa kasuotan na ito dahil meron ng mga bagong damit na pang okasyon. Isa dito na tinatawag nilang tuxedos or suits. Pero kailanman hindi ito nawawala o naluluma sa puso at isipan sa mga mamamayang Pilipino.

    

                                           

How to win a jingle competition

             
August 16,2016




          A jingle competition happens once every school year. It is when students practice everyday to prepare for the competition. A jingle can make a student's life fun or even more fun.

In every competition you must remember these steps or ways. First you need to stay calm. Don't be in hurry; everything is going to be fine. If you will be in a hurry everything is gonna fail or even be worse. So step 1 always remember to stay calm.

          Step 2. When you're practicing make sure everyone understands each and every part of your jingle. If i everyone understands then there will only be few problems left. And if every person knows  the jingle, your practice can continue non stop but you actually need to stop or rest during snacks or free time to regain your energy and then you can continue finalizing your Jingle presentation. If everyone knows the jingle lines or lyrics and the formation then you can easily master the jingle.

           Step 3. In every competition everyone must help or cooperate with one another. In that way everyone can join the the practices and everyone must sacrifice some of their time like, instead of watching movies or doing movie marathon you will use the time for practicing. Everyone must contribute something for the jingle and help those people who are confused at some point.

            I wasn't able to join the jingle competition because of some reasons. Helping our classmates do our props and costumes. I felt like I contributed a big help to them. seeing them perform was a big smile on my face,placing third, it wasn't bad for us. Because I know that I did my best and also my classmates did their best too.
