Sleepless Nights...

       So, where do I actually start?  Hmm, first of all, I became more knowledgeable than ever.  I got to know more about the HTML files in ICT.  Making it makes me excited because it is something new to me.  I found out that there is a huge difference in making the HTML file and Microsoft files.  In Physics, I discovered interesting things.  Since I am not a sporty person, I get bored easily while having our class in Physical Education.  But then, I slowly realized that it is fun and agitating. And of course, o won't forget our mathematics subjects which is Calculus and Analytic Geometry.  In these subjects, I became more knowledgeable since our teachers are really patient in teaching.
      For this grading period, I had a lot of sleepless nights because of the impossible-to-do projects.  Firstly, our project in Analytic Geometry was map-making so we had an Educational Hike Out at Radar Satellite Station in Taleb, Bantay, Ilocos Sur.  For me, it was a DEATHLY hike!  It is one of the most unforgettable projects that I had.  Another one is the projects in ICT and AP where heated arguments among group members were made.  Still, we were able to finish the said projects.  Our role playing in English is also one of our problems right now since we haven't practice.  It is kind of impossible to finish because we don't have enough time to have our practice.  That's not the end of my problems for this grading period.  The last and the hardest one is our project in Research.  We have to finish all the write-ups required because we will have our title defense on October 22.
        Even though I had sleepless nights, I still enjoyed doing such things because I learned a lot.  I faced these problems by staying positive all the time--thinking that every problem has a solution.  I always think that if others can do it, I also can.
      Moving on, I will be more studious so that I can attain higher grades in the future so that I won't disappoint my parents.  There may be problems and probably will have in the future, I will always trust myself and I will always stay positive.

We Must!!

     Undeniably, the English language is known as the universal language.  Wherever we go, this language is always used as a form of communication.  It is mostly used as the main language as means of international communication.

      The month of October is already here, so the English Olympics is about to start.  The theme for this year's celebration is “Upholding English Proficiency for Communicative Competence”.  It means that we should be proficient in the English language.  This event helps us to be more confident in using the universal language like how confident we are in using our own native language.  It doesn't only help us in being confident but it also helps us in enhancing our skills in writing, speaking and reading the said language.  Since this language is universal, it is a must for each of us to be fluent or just know and understand English. 

      Lately, the Philippines topped the survey and is the only country that attained a score above 7.0 in the annual Business English Index {BEI) proving that Filipino workers are proficient in English and are a big help in increasing the economic growth and business success of our country.  It is a great honor that us, Filipinos, are recognized as fluent English speakers.  This is the outcome of learning the language diligently in school.  It is actually one of the major subjects in every school here in the Philippines.  So, let's start enhancing our English skills.
