BLOG#3-LET’S TALK ABOUT SPORTS…

HMmMM… Sport is a competitive physical activity involving physical exertion or skill, governed by rules, and sometimes engaged in professionally. It’s a pastime for people who find interest in this field. Sports are also a very important social asset. This aims to develop the child’s problem-solving patterns of behavior and to provide optimum progressive growth to a self-disciplined and integrated personality so that he becomes productive in a progressive social environment.

The purpose of intramural programs in schools is to offer an opportunity for voluntary participation of students who are not skilled enough or not sufficiently interested d in a varsity-type program. Another purpose is to develop cooperation between students in team competition. Organizing this kind of program in school imbibe the hearts and minds of the students  that sports is a potent factor in making a person mentally healthy, physically alert, emotionally stable. This is also designed to educate a person as a whole.

And you know what, we had a sport festival just last week. I played "patintero" because I’m not that sporty. And I don’t have any interest in this path. This is the reason why am I like this. I’m not that sociable and my body is weak. Well, I’m not really fitted for this.

BLOG #2-“UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE OR MOTHER TONGUE? - LET’S VOTE IN”

English language is the first global lingua franca. It is the international language of communication. It is the most widely used language in the world. It is spoken as a first language by a majority of the inhabitants of several nations. A working knowledge of English has become a requirement in a number of fields like occupation and profession. Every people should learn how to speak English for them to communicate to other people all around the globe.

Filipino language is the national language of the Philippines. It’s the lingua franca of all Filipinos. Tagalog is the most popular branch of Filipino language. But why? Why is this language forgotten? Is English our mother tongue? The answer is no. But we, Filipinos, always use English as our primary speech of communication which is truly not appropriate.

According to my opinion, it’s better for us to use our mother tongue. It shows great nationalism. Right? It also shows our great patriotism and adoration for our country. Tagalog must be the medium of instruction here in the Philippines. What is the use of our fluency in English if we forgot our mother tongue?

BLOG#1-Two Exceptional Mortals

She was sixteen then when she found out that she was pregnant. A too young soon-to-be mother and wife. Her husband was unprepared for it, and even not yet ready to take risks and live independently. Anna was the name of this teen-age soon-to-be mom and Egoy was his boyfriend/husband back then. Egoy was a gangster, an addict, a hoodlum etc... He is a member of a rambunctious gang. He was involved in violent affrays in their place. He was fainéant. He was just a young man, an ephebe.  Anna was a simple lady. Her hair was always on queue. Anna was a coy-type of person. She was a taciturn woman. And also a weak one because Anna’s heart was too fragile. Too much is enow for her. It could lead to her death. They’re so opposites.

She already filed a furlough in her school. She was so delicate. She was confined in the hospital for so many months. Until she decided to run away. To leave her ill life.  Until she met Egoy. They started from being mortal enemies but then the more you hate the more you love, right? They were able to establish a good rapport between them. They fell in love with each other. Egoy leave his former life and change for the better. His kind of love for her is conspicuous, an everlasting one. Ana kept her sickness from him. They always arrange a tryst or a secret rendezvous. And now, Ana was pregnant. They were both not ready.

          They were force to break up by their parents, in unanimous side. They were both vociferated. But their love for each other still remains. When Ana had her check –up, the doctor gave unexpected news. Ana cannot keep the child in her womb. Ana’s too weak. Her parents decided to abort the child without even asking for Ana’s opinion. After the loss of the child, Ana died. Ana was depressed and this causes her sudden death. Egoy commit suicide after hearing the news of the death of two most important people in his life. Because they were his two exceptional mortals.
