Today, in the campus..

BOUNDED WITH ONE OBJECTIVE.   This is not an ordinary day in Alapan I Elementary School. Today, different kinds of students from various schools are gathered with a common goal, and that is to showcase their gifts of journalism. NO ONE CAN RESTRAIN. Despite of events being held in their campus, like the DSPC, the students are still in focus. The students from the first section of the fifth grade yearn to learn more as persistent as the participants of the DSPC to win. THE SOUL BEHIND EVERYTHING.  As we celebrate the National Teachers’ Month, I am giving much honor to the people who have given us so much of themselves to impart us with knowledge and values. DSPC will not be possible without our dear teachers because through them we were able to read and write.

The Start of IYLDP Adventures

Imus Youth Leadership Development Program, often referred to as IY or IYLDP, is a program especially made for students to train them to become great leaders in the future. Fifty six (56) schools in Imus were given a chance to choose their representatives. The participants are carefully hand-picked by the authorities and coordinators of the program mentioned and I was so lucky that I am one of the 75 students from 22 different schools who will undergo the leadership development program especially made for the young Imuseños. Last September 11, we had our orientation regarding the program. We were given an IYLDP kit which will help us throughout our whole journey in the program. We also took a lot of pictures, like a lot! I swear, some of them may be embarrassing because mostly are stolen shots. * hides under the chair* The day after the orientation, we formally started the leadership development program. We were lectured about the works inside the city government and a lot

MCA IN CONCERT

“Victory isn’t just about receiving trophies and medals; it’s about exceeding limits at your worst.” That is what I learned in this year’s school concert. A month before the concert, we decided to think of our concept and music, ideas kept on coming. And after ilang weeks or days of brainstorming and arguing, finally, may natapos na yung Justice.  We started practicing, nahati sa dalawa ang Justice, ang Me Without You   slash   Sold-Out pipz and Retro pipz. Hanggang sa nag-polishing and we thought na okay na ang lahat, we will not have any more problem with our presentation, yung tickets na lang talaga. HAHAHAHA Then Monday came, August 31, 2015, National Heroes Day yun!  Supposedly no classes pero nag-polish kami ng whole performance but yung pinolish pala namin e walang patutunguhan. We had the wrong choice of music, boogie daw yung steps namin and yung concept namin is not approved. That means we had to start from scratch, back to square one, in short, uulit kami sa u

#ExpressingThroughTypography

Typography is the art and technique of arranging type to make written language legible, readable and appealing when displayed. The arrangement of type involves selecting typefaces, point size, line length, line spacing (leading), letter-spacing (tracking), and adjusting the space between letters pairs (kerning).  (source:   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typography ) I have been doing typography for almost three months now and just started posting snapshots of some of my works on my IG account. I was inspired to do it because of Abbey Sy, a blogger and the author of the book   "The ABC's of Hand Lettering " .   I really wanted to buy her book but due to school activities which really required me to spend a lot of money, I don't have a copy of it yet. (very sad story, i know) Since I really can't afford to buy her book YET, I decided to search for typography tips and ideas online which I think really helped me A LOT. And because of it, I'll
