I had been anticipating our little museum outing for a while now. I was nervous and excited at the same time, it would be my first time going off somewhere that wasn't for groceries or school. And without my parents, too. I'm not usually allowed to go places without them—surprising, I know, considering how old I am but I've never particularly minded it. Though, I'll admit I have found myself feeling rather left out whenever I would see all the posts and videos and pictures of my friends hanging out together, having fun, without me. Anyway, a week before the actual outing, we had planned out what we were going to bring and what mode of transportation we were going to use. We considered commute but, well, the travel fees were... intimidating, to say the least. We had all agreed on traveling together in Steven's car, but it wasn't big enough to accommodate all 7 of us. Steven told us his older sister would drive us instead, since she had a bigger car. In our grou...

 We all know about the existence of plagiarism and of course have a general idea of what it means and what could be considered as plagiarism, but who would've thought there was a whole spectrum of rules and considerations regarding several different types of plagiarism? People who are fond of writing and literature, probably, but most of the people I know aren't, and that includes me. While I do enjoy a good book every now and then, much like most casual readers, I only pay attention to just that; the contents. There are so many things to consider when writing or creating an object of literature and that includes the citation and credit of any and all sources and references that you may have used. Many people do it on purpose and hope they won't get caught, however, some people do it without even realizing. For this log, I will enumerate the 10 different types of plagiarism on the Plagiarism Spectrum. The first one is called Clone. It's pretty self-explanatory, a pretty...

 I'm sure many a Filipino student struggles at least a little bit when it comes to English and Research-related subjects. Terms that might be considered as simple to some may prove to be rather difficult to others. From my experience, many students — including myself — have found themselves confused, mixing up one thing with another. An example of these mix-ups is the confusion between the "Topic Sentence" and the "Thesis Statement." The topic sentence of your research is usually found in the beginning of the first paragraph of an expository paper. It briefly summarizes the main idea or point of said paragraph. The thesis statement on the other hand, while also found within the first paragraph of your paper, it is not necessarily found at the start. Rather than just summarizing the paragraph it's in, a thesis statement summarizes the point or claim of the entire paper.  Although these two essential parts of an academic paper are very similar in  terms of the...

 This week, two groups presented their assigned topics in the form of PowerPoint presentations. Among the few topics that were presented, the one that we had mainly explored — Academic Text Structures — was from Axel's group.  Academic Writing is commonly split into two types. The three part essay structure otherwise known as the IBC (Introduction, Body, Conclusion) structure and the IMRaD (Introduction, Methods, Results and Discussion) structure. From what I had already in stock and from what I was able to absorb from their presentation, the IBC structure is more or less the standard format being used for all your essays, reflection papers, report papers and many other school related written activities. The IMRaD structure on the other hand is used specifically for research reports and the like. The presenters also discussed the 9 Main Structures of Academic Text — further discussed by Ms. Laarni — which turned out to be a very similar topic to one we had tackled last school ...

    This week we learned about Academic and Non-academic Texts. While it may have seemed obvious at first what should be considered academic and non-academic, there were so many more characteristics and factors to consider when identifying and differentiating these texts.     From what I was able to absorb from our lessons, for a text to be considered an academic text, it has to be targeted at "academics" or in other words, intellectuals who are specialized or interested in the field or subject that said text is covering. They must also always use a formal language and tone of writing, following a specific and uniform format for the purpose of being used as a point of reference or study. Examples of this would be research papers, concept papers, thesis papers, etc.     Non-academic texts on the other hand are texts that do not quite follow a specific format. Although a lot of them will share similar formats due to having similar purposes, such as cooking re...

 Para sa, Sinumang magpapahiram ng kanilang mga mata, tainga, at puso. Hey,      Oo ikaw, ikaw nga!... na nagbabasa nito na nakaupo sa isang sofa, sa sahig, sa iyong kama, o nasa iyong lugar ng trabaho o sa paaralan, marahil kahit sa isang tindahan sa isang lugar, humihigop ng isang tasa ng kape o tsaa. Ikaw na hindi kailanman naisip o kailangang mag-isip "Bakit ako tinatrato sa ganitong paraan?" o “Ano ang pinagkaiba ko sa kanila?”. Sa iyo na walang paki-alam sa mga taong hina-harass at tinatapakan ang pagkatao dahil lang sa hindi nila kayang ipagtanggol ang sarili. Iniaalay ko ang liham na ito sa iyo.      Ang karapatan ng isang tao na mabuhay, karapatang magmahal, at karapatang maging kung sino siya ay hindi isang bagay na basta na lamang mapagpasyahan ng ibang tao batay sa kanilang personal na paniniwala at katayuan sa buhay. Ang bawat isa sa atin na nabubuhay sa mundong ito ay may karapatan ng mabuhay na ayon sa gusto natin. At ang bawat isang tao...

 

 

 1. PANATILIHING MALINIS ANG KAPALIGIRAN NG IYONG MAHAL NA BANSA Tumutulong sa paglilinis ng paligid upang kahit sa maliit na paraan, tayo ay makatulong na mapaganda ang ating bansa.  2. ANG PAGTANGKILIK NG LOKAL AT SARILING PRODUKTO Pakatandaan na maraming masasarap at mahuhusay na produktong gawa na sariling atin. Dapat natin tangkilikin.  3. LIBUTIN ANG SARILING BANSA UPANG MALAMAN ANG NAPAKARAMING MAGAGANDANG LUGAR Bawat bansa ay may sariling anking kagandahan. Bago hangaan ang ibang bansa, dapat libutin at tuklasin ang magagandang lugar at tanawin sa sariling bansang sinilangan. 

I see trees of green, red roses too I see them bloom for me and you And I think to myself what a wonderful world. I see skies of blue and clouds of white The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night And I think to myself what a wonderful world. The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky Are also on the faces of people going by I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do They're really saying I love you. I hear babies crying, I watch them grow They'll learn much more than I'll never know And I think to myself what a wonderful world Yes I think to myself what a wonderful world. P. S. Napakagandang kanta. Ito ay laban sa diskriminasyon ngunit sa halip na labanan ang apoy sa pamamagitan ng apoy, poot sa poot, ito ay gumagamit ng pagmamahal. Huwag bigyang pansin ang mga nananakit at napopoot sa iba, sa halip, bakit hindi natin bigyang kahalagahan ang buhay, pagmamahal sa kapwa at mga magagandang bagay sa ating paligid.

     Nitong Disyembre, ngayong linggo lamang, may kabuuang 2.83 milyong kaso ng Corona Virus sa Pilipinas at mahigit 264 milyon sa buong mundo. Sa humigit-kumulang 600 na kaso bawat linggo, hindi mo talaga maiwasang magtaka kung bakit hindi bumababa ang mga numero.      Sa buong mundo, kilala tayong mga Pilipino sa maraming bagay; sa ating mabuting pakikitungo at kabaitan sa kapwa, gayunpaman, merong isang bagay na para bang ating nakaligtaan; ang pagiging matigas ang ulo. Ilang beses man ipahayag ang mga protocol , gaano man kahigpit ang kanilang mga alituntunin, ang mga Pilipino ay patuloy pa rin na gumagala nang walang maskara at walang social distancing. Sa kabila ng lahat ng katibayan, tila hindi natin maisip na mayroong isang nakamamatay na virus na kumakalat sa bawat bansa sa buong mundo.      Ang Corona Virus ay hindi isang simpleng virus lamang. Pero, hindi ibig sabihin na hindi natin ito kayang iwasan. Ang simpleng pananatil...

  The Pursuit of Happyness Ni Macoushla Mae L. Secuya   l. INTRODUKSIYON Sa direksyon ni Gabriele Muccino — isang Italyano na film director , Ang The Pursuit of Happyness ay ginanap noong 1981 San Francisco. Ang maling spelling na pamagat (orihinal mula sa aklat ni Gardner) ay kinuha mula sa isang 1776 na sanaysay ni Lemuel Haynes na siyang humihimok na ang mga puti at itim ay nilikhang pantay. Ito ay inilabas noong Disyembre 15, 2006 ngunit sa Pilipinas ito ay inilabas makalipas ang ilang buwan noong Marso 14, 2007.   II. BUOD Dahil sa pagkalugi at pagbagsak ng kanyang portable bone-density scanner na negosyo at pagkabaon sa utang, sa kalaunan ay nagpasya ang asawa ni Chris Gardner na si Linda na iwan siya at ang kanilang anak at lumipat sa New York. Habang nagbebenta ng mga scanners , nakilala niya si Jay Twistle na sa kalaunan ay nagbigay sa kanya ng pagkakataong maging isang intern stockbroker . Kahit matagumpay ang kanyang interview bilang intern...

  One of the biggest, most influential pop stars that has graced the world with her talent. A literal icon , she is. Madonna Louise Ciccone is an American singer-songwriter and actress. Often referred to as the “Queen of Pop” and rightfully so, her tracks have been pushing the limits of her stardom higher and higher. An absolute legend. In 1978, she moved to New York pursuing a career in modern dance. After performing as a drummer, guitarist and vocalist in the rock bands Breakfast Club and Emmy, she made a name for herself as going solo while pumping out a series of all-time bestselling albums. Her various works which I suppose some would find controversial incorporate social, political, sexual, and religious themes all packaged in her incredible and incredibly meta pieces. Musical career aside, another thing that further pushed up her popularity was her roles in various films such as Desperately Seeking Susan (1985) , Dick Tracy (1990) , A League of Their Own (1992) , and...
