Christmas is Near (YAY)!

Hallo guys....Christmas is near, what do you plan to do? Our school made a decorating competition in the high school department. You have to decorate your bulletin board then make your own Christmas lantern and a Nativity Scene. From the day that the decorating started, all classes are exerting their effort to make a masterpiece despite of all the sweat and pressure they're having. The competition lasted about 2 weeks. In the end, everyone's effort was acknowledged but of course, only 3 classes won. They're Grade 8-Aristotle, Grade 10-Purity, and Grade 10-Solomon.

We had a blog activity last Wednesday and we should talk about a topic then make a video about it. Jasmine (http://anotheroptimisticpessimist.blogspot.com) and I were partners. Please watch this video about the class decorating competition.

Learning from a Blog Experrrt :D

    Hello folks! I am terribly sorry for this post, it should be posted ages ago, but look no further, here it is! Last ummmm....hehe I forgot hte exact date but a guest came to our school (specifically, our club) for a visit. She is Ms. Patty Laurel-Filart. She is a blogger, travel writer, host, and teacher. (all info are found in her blog http://www.pattylaurel.com/2011/05/about-blogger.html)
 
    So on that day, we all learned and realised some stuff about blogging. Actually, I expected this to be really boring at first, but then, I was enlightened by her smile flashed upon her face. She was different from other speakers because she can really relate to us.

    She first told us about some do's and don'ts about blogging. When she was talking about the do's, I was like, "Oh yeah! I'm doin' the right thing!", but when the part of the don'ts came, I'm like, "Ay bawal pala 'yan (facepalm)??" I remember the part about the photoshopping the fats of a person, it really made me laugh out loud...heehee. Anyway, for the next part, she told us some important tips in blogging which I don't really remember. I feel really ashamed because I do not remember all the tips she mentioned, but to sum this all up, she told us to be creative in writing posts. Do not hesitate, just be yourself. Make blogging a hobby not a chore. These were the words I remembered (I know they are not precise, but you don't expect me to memorize her every word.).

    All in all, this was a really fun visit. After listening and absorbing her words, I became more inspired to continue on this blog, and just like her to pass on this inspiration to others. If you are out there reading this blog, Ms. Patty, thank you very much for the tips and all :)

    That is all guys, bye for now!
