FEMINISM

Do you know what Feminsm is? Feminism is the radical notion that women are people.

                                                

 Feminism is a range of movements and ideologies that share a common goal: to define, establish, and achieve equal political, economic, cultural, personal, and social rights for women. This includes seeking to establish equal opportunities for women in education and employment. It is also the belief that men and women should have equal rights and responsibilities because, first, as we can see that this world is an unfair world especially for some of the girls because they are underestimated by guys/men. 

It is frustrating to live in a society where sexual violence is commonplace, and feel helpless to stop it. Many people are so disgusted and frightened for themselves and those they care about, that they do not have the patience to wait for our culture to right itself.

Men and women can both do same chores or works. But how will women do it without getting underestimated by men? Simple, men should accept that also women can do what they can do because most of the time not all men are capable of doing chores at the same time, I am pretty sure that they also be needing help from women, so they don't have the right to underestimate what women are capable of. 

INTER HIGH SCHOOL PUBLIC SPEAKING COMPETITION

At first, this Inter high school public speaking competition was quite boring, why? First, most of the students waited about an hour at the Asia Pacific College's Auditorium and yet the competition started after an hour. Anyway, the competition was tough for the high school students and different schools competed. The high school students told their own stories about their best and worst times. All of their stories was very touching for most of us, the audiences. Because they really know what is the importance of TIME not just in their lives but also the lives of other people. 

I was very touched when one of the participants told us that he thought he could never walk again because of what happened on his ankle, I was amazed to him because he didn't give up and he did his best not just for himself but also for his family. I know that all of the participant's family and friends are very proud of them because they still keep on having faith in God that they can achieve there goal, maybe not now but sooner or later they will. 

Going back to the topic, the competition taught me that I should conquer my fears and not to waste my time, like by not wasting the opportunity that the Lord is already giving me. Because at some point that opportunity will be gone and maybe I cannot take that opportunity in the future. Time is precious, so you should know that when you have an opportunity to do something, go for it.

In the end, the competition was enjoyable and I learned many things from it. I am thankful for all the things that I learned today. I know that someday I will conquer my fear and face my problems like all the participants did.

PLAGIARISM

PLAGIARISM is the act of presenting other people's work as your own like, copying and pasting without giving credits to the owner of that work. Most people nowadays especially students keeps on using technology when they have homeworks, projects, seatworks, and etc. We all know that plagiarism is just an another term from stealing someone else's work. 

Even though you paraphrased your work, it is always necessary to indicate where did the information come from. Many people do not indicate there sources of information but some people do. BUT it is not enough if you just put the link. Relying on the internet or in other people's work will lead you to do plagiarism, why? Because when some people find a source of information they will be lazy enough to do on their own because they will think that why should they do an original work if they already found a finished work, right? Yes, of course (lol).  

So, when you're thinking of plagiarizing, think twice and be sure of what will you choose. Because when someone saw your work, and if they already saw the same work of yours from other people they might confront you of plagiarizing, and they might tell you that you don't have an originality of producing works and I know that you will be hurt if that happened.

Okay. I'll leave you now with a simple reminder: THINK TWICE BEFORE DOING SOMETHING, BECAUSE YOU MIGHT REGRET IT IN THE END.

SOM WEEK

SOM Week is a week to remember, because we all have a week to enjoy and support our batch, course, and team.

SOM week started with a parade. And it is very tiring walking starting from the APC Parking up to Magallanes village. We also have a lot of fun activities to see. There are lots of games involved like, basketball, volleyball, badminton, table tennis, dodgeball, games of the general, chess, running man and many more. I only got the chance to join in Table tennis because some of my classmates are already having some issues so I told myself that I won't join that game even though I want to. Because I don't want to be involved in their issues or what.

Anyway, the whole week was very fun! Even though I didn't win in table tennis I still enjoyed playing with the other course. And I know that it is not a big deal because the most important is I had fun and I tried my best to win. 

We also had a pageant for SOM Week. Joshua Dave Beredo (SoM Representative) is one of my block mates. And we are all proud even though He did not have the chance to get the title of "Mr. SOM 2015" because even though I did not watch the pageant, I am sure that He did his best to win. Yes, He did not win, but it doesn't mean that He don't deserve to win, maybe not now, but sooner or later He will get what he deserves.

And because of all the experiences that I had, I am looking forward for more fun, exciting, and memorable activities that me and my block will have :) 

CHEERS AND CHANTS

Cheers and Chants is one of the most memorable thing that happened into my life. You wanna know the reason why? First of all, it's because this is the first competition that we had as a batch. We learned that UNITY in a class is the most important thing all of us should have, because without unity you will not be able to work with one another and your efforts will be wasted. But of course we had a hard time of finishing the song that we sang because we all have many ideas and we can't compile all of it in a one performance. And we also have a hard time in controlling the class, especially when it comes to our noises.Because of that, I thought that we won't finish our song. But in the end, we finally got the teamwork that we want. 

 Because of all the effort that we gave, we won the 1st place. *yey* Even though that we,re not the champion, for me, we are the best. And the most memorable thing that day was we all have fun and enjoyed every second of it.
