Third Year Level 1 Post Test

From a Cable TV Program a KISS shows several facial muscles to work. Prevents bad breath and so much more for their station ID. For us Filipinos a Kiss simply shows, respect to elderly, bidding goodbyes, saying hellos, and by way of telling someone that you care. A Kiss is demonstrated in several different ways and with several meanings. For example, a kiss on the forehead shows respect, and even care, on the cheeks as in cheeks-to-cheeks will be interpreted as greetings just like the Russians. But to Kiss that will cost you your hard earned Diploma – that’s outrageous!

That was what happened to a student from Bonny High School in Maine. While he was about to accept his Diploma on stage -he blew a kiss to his family and the School Administrator sent him back to his seat without the Diploma. Too bad for the boy! I’m sure he was just demonstrating some level of happiness after years of schooling, now he will receive his recognition and yet deprived of it at the very moment.

School authorities have said that kind of behavior is prohibited according to the rules imposed for which students have agreed. Don’t you think school authorities should amend such rules? To think that the U.S. is the number one advocate of democracy and yet a certain learning institution from one of its States can’t practice that.

Lazily, I got up of bed, took a bath and prepared myself for the day. We had our breakfast and then moved on to the training site at the Pampanga Agricultural Colleges (PAC). Then on training, usual things happened for the day. Lectures….lectures….lectures. As I dozed off in my seat secretly, the next speaker was introduced. Mr. Jose A. Torres Jr. This person got up and started speaking and cracked jokes along the lectures. My spirit rose and my mind started to juggle. This is what I came here for!

Ok, so presentation….presentation and presentation until we were now allowed to hands on and create our blog. Actually this was not my first blog. I had a blog account from another site but I only wrote something like “Being First Time” in blogging so much so that this activity was nothing new to me now but I’m euphoric just the same.

WordPress.com is a stranger to me until that day. I found it nice and user friendly not only because it is programed that way but maybe also because of the guidance of Mr. Jose Torres Jr. that everything came smoothly and I’m inspired. We created our wordpress account and little did we know that it was already time for heading the Villas.

Today, May 21, 2009 9:00 a.m. The lecture on blogging continued and this time we had the chance of making our first post on this site. It was exciting! Even more when we posted pictures and videos. I had a feeling of elation when I know somebody reads my blog. Sometimes I can see others open my account and read but when I look they close my account. Pity on me! If you only knew, I would have opened it and showed it to you. It’s free!

Now that I’m inspired and know the steps, there’s a lot more coming soon.

I submitted myself to an online English Proficiency Test as told by our School Head. Unexpectedly, I passed. Then I was asked to submit online an essay for which I complied, Now I’m here at Camp Blog 2009.

I traveled with three students representing our school (Jordan National High School). Fun and excitement filled our wandering souls. The three students took their virgin flight to Manila that’s why they’re most excited about the trip. For me, I was kind of uneasy thinking of what’s in store for us at the Camp.

At 4pm (May17-09) participants arrived at Mimosa Leisure Estate in Pampanga hungry and a bit tired but with gleaming faces to welcome everyone. The first activity was to paint on a canvass that was supposed to be our backpack. Some struggled to be creative but some definitely have a talent on that aspect to show not only an organized painting but  demonstrated an art complete with endless meanings.

At 7 pm dinner was served and everyone was billeted to their respective Villas. Villa 1058 will now be the witness on how this four wandering souls will enjoy and learn from this 10-day training at Camp Blog 2009.
