District Meet 2019: The Opening


          Last September 25, 2019, the opening of the most awaited sports meet for the athletes of Asian College of Technology, District Meet, has officially started. The opening was held at the Talisay Grand Stand where it catered athletes and coaches from three different Districts since this year’s sports meet is the first Simultaneous District Meet to be held where ACT is under District Two.

          To celebrate the start of the District Meet, a vigorous jingle from different districts started the program. It made each player full of energy as they holler their cheers with pride and confidence, signifying that they are ready to play and give out their best. Despite the number of athletes from division two, ACT Knights’ vivaciousness continue to sky-rocket and partake in the jingle with so much fire.

          After the ground-shaking yells from the athletes of each district, the Lighting of Torch came in next where CVRAA gold medalist, Mary Ann Pastolan took the honor to light it. And of course, the respected Oath taking of Athletes and Coaches followed where Aurora Pipito, badminton gold medalist of Talisay City National Highschool, led the Oath taking of the Athletes while Coach Roger Vilaveles led the Coaches’ oath taking.

         Lastly, the important and most awaited part of the program is the pageantry of beauty and elegance between the beautiful representatives from different schools, the Little Miss and Miss Talisay District Meet 2019.

          They also showed off their unique and iconic sports attire that made the crowd go wilder in which Asianista, Elaiza Marie Gasalatan won Best in Sports Attire.

          However, only one could only be crowned as Little Miss and Miss Talisay District Two. The representative of Tabunok Elementary School garnered the title Little Miss Talisay District Meet while Gasalatan, ACT’s beautiful and chic representative, was crowned and named as Miss Talisay District Meet 2019 of District Two letting them advance and represent Division II during Division Meet.

            Her effort and win made Asian College of Technology proud, congratulations Asianista!

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...
