Image
My picture of my family after entering the school campus.            One of the most anticipated yearly events in Asian College of Technology, my school, happened last Sunday, January 27, which was Family Day. It was the day where students from different levels get to bond with their family and the family they made in school all together in one place. The event had a lot of activities that we and our families enjoyed and even surprised us at some point. It made that day much more memorable and unforgettable. Another picture after watching dance performance of Elementary and Junior High school students.     Any events held in our school have always started with a prayer therefore Family Day started with a holy mass to thank and appreciate the Lord for giving us that day to celebrate an important event. After the mass, dance performances from different levels came next. Despite of it being a competition of which level has the b...

Both lanes in EDSA experiencing a heavy traffic.           Traffic is one of the problems that the Philippines is now facing and as the years passed, it worsened and became more serious than ever. There are more complaints coming from the people, especially from public transporters. It is one of the major causes of their headaches early in the mornings and afternoons sine they are the ones who always bear the pestering effects of traffic. Traffic in Cebu City late in the morning.           Filipinos have to wake up early in the morning to avoid traffic especially those people who live far away from their workplaces and their schools but there are some people who wake up early but are still stuck in traffic. This just shows how bad traffic is and this entails an immediate and effective action from the government.           It is not easy for commuters to keep on waiting especially when inside the...

Why Dogs are Better than Cats

   They say cats are better housepets than dogs because their owners don't have to exert much effort in taking care of them. But the question is; are the benefits of having cats as housepets as beneficial as having dogs? As what the saying goes, " A dog is a man's bestfriend." Although people oppose of having a dog since they need to make time for this animal, its actually nice to have a dog as a housepet.    First of all, dogs give pure emotions to their owners. They are very affectionate to people they love and trust. Just like a human child, they would come running to their owners when they arrived for an errand or from a walk. With the emotions that they give to their owners, it made those people feel loved, important and happy. Cats can show love and bond with their owners but it is more often at arms length. According to an article written by Jacqueline Bennett, dog owners are less likely to suffer depression. It is quite hard to stay down when taking care o...

Though he had a hard time understanding the Chinese language, it didn’t stop him from completing the tale.

It may contain some of my opinions and how I felt about the story. I will show you why it cau...
