Journal Entry One

August 3, 2016 Wednesday 8:51

Today is not the usual school day I am used to except the assignments and stress. Well, I'm a student after all, that's what we do. We go to school and learn but what's different about today than any other day is that today is the birthday of our school's co-founder, also known as, "Mother of ACT", ma'am Viannie. We celebrated her day by giving her a surprise where all of us students, including senior high students, gathered in one place just to celebrate it and that's when I realized that Asian College of Technology is a big family that i would treasure. Not only that, we transferred to different classrooms thus making us exhausted and weak but nonetheless we had fun.

Its true when you say that learning is more fun when you're with your friends. Even though we couldn't manage all the stress but when we are around with our friends its like stress was never in our system. It just disappears and is replaced with joy. 

This day has been a great day, I've learned a lot of things, experienced new things and realized somethings. Even though I am an old student of my school, I met new friends. Speaking of friends, while practicing for our role play in Filipino, I saw my two friends in which one of them is my closest guy friend who is sadly leaving the country to continue his studies in America. 

And soon enough our class has ended so is the day. My day ended....weirdly. Lots of selfies here and there and a little ride on the hair-rising-roller coaster. Why? Well a friend of mine heard someone whispered "goodbye" on her ear but saw no one. Weird and scary, I know. As what I said today is not just a normal school day.

Well that's all, I guess. Its already late so I guess I'll be writing my entry tomorrow.

Desiderata: Reflection

Image
     Happiness is something that can only be defined by people themselves, it depends who is defining it as it means different to different people. Some people gave this simple word a complex meaning. It even is divided into two components: eudaimonic and hedonic, but for me, happiness simply means to be able to feel the freedom of being oneself and being free from fear and anxiety. Life is never easy and as young as I am, I realized that. That is why the thought of being able to indulge in luxuries, being able to travel to places and meet people and many other pleasurable situations, never crosses my mind. Because to be free is a euphoric feeling in this world full of negativity.      Desiderata is poem I have read before when I was in grade 6, it is full of lessons that teaches the readers different values. One lesson I found was learning to let go of the negativity, this includes toxic people, emotions and thoughts. This is a lesson I need to l...

The Soul of the Great Bell: A Story Told and Reflected

Image
Introduction The story the “ Soul of the Great Bell” is a Chinese Legend retold in English by an American Journalist, Lafcadio Hearn. Though he had a hard time understanding the Chinese language, it didn’t stop him from completing the tale. The story somehow ignited my thirst of knowledge for the traditions and cultures of China or in other words, my curiosity about my ancestors’ background took over me as I read the story but then I realized, I don’t have to look up that much of information in the internet because it is already in the story. It may not be many but its enough. I can clearly notice how the emperor or the ruler was called by the people and how the bell is an important  history to the people In this blog, I will be writing, or in this case typing, down the traditions and beliefs practiced in the story that the Chinese people applied years ago and their origin. It may contain some of my opinions and how I felt about the story. I will show you why it cau...

Bakit Nanghuhusga ang mga Tao sa Kapwa?

Image
Ang panghuhusga ay nakakasaktan at nakakasira ng isang tao. Litrato mula sa Success Magazine. Lahat tayo ay may iba't ibang katangian maging pisikal mn o hindi, iba’t iba rin ang ating kaisipan, saloobin at paniniwala at iba’t iba rin ang ating kwento. Ngunit sa kabila ng ating mga katangian na naiiba sa lahat, palaging nilalagay natin ang ating kapwa sa isang pangkat para bang kilala natin sila. Ang ganitong aksyon ay panghuhusga, panghuhusga sa ating buong kataohan. Bakit nanghuhusgahan tayo sa iba nang hindi naman natin alam ang kabilang panig ng barya? Ang panghuhusga ng isang indibidwal ay parang “second nature” ng mga tao. Nagsisilbi itong natural na reaksyon o sa ibang salita ito ay para bang isang “survival instinct” natin upang ipagtanggol ang ating sarili kapag naramdaman natin na may nagbabanta o kapag naging ignorante tayo sa kung ano man ang maaaring maging dahilan ng mga kilos ng mga tao. Maliban sa pagiging “natural instinct” nito, naniniwala ako na nanghu...
