My Intrams Journal

 

                    The Intramurals is an event in most schools where students compete in groups for medals trophies and extra points. The competition is what makes it fun, but making and having friends to play alongside you adds more to the experience. Each student is put in groups and over the course of the event I gradually grew closer with my team and formed some bonds and made new friends. During the event I also managed to strengthen my bonds with my friends and learn new things about my friends while examining my physical prowess and the physical prowess of others. 

                        The Intramurals although fun and refreshing compared to the stressful and mind-numbing regular classes were pretty tiring and tense especially during my game. I participated in the badminton event and I was very nervous as this was the first time I played competitive badminton and the other players I had to play against were quite skilled, I won my first game with the help of my friend as we were playing doubles so I wasn't alone which helped in dealing with my nervousness. The first game we played was tense but we clutched it. The 2nd game was much harder and we lost. It was expected as the duo we were facing against was none other than the duo who taught us how to play in the first place, overall it was a very fun experience. 

                            In the end our team didn't place first in the overall rankings but everyone tried their best and that's just how life is you win some and you lose some.

    

Family Day Journal

                    Family Day is when parents spend time with their children while seeing their progress and achievements. It is a day to help strengthen family relationships and values. This family day was also the day when each team presented their "dance palabas" to be judged, it was quite tense and everyone gave their all as the "dance palabas" is crucial to winning the Intramurals as a whole as it is the event that gives the most points. 

                    Here is me and my family waiting for the dinner to start while watching the presentations of other groups.

                    It was a fun night, my dogs were well entertained and I got to spend time with my family. I do hope to have more of these events in the future.

Overdrinking

                             

                                         Noon pa man ay kilala ang Pilipinas bilang isang masayang bansa ngunit may mga madilim na bahagi. Gumagamit ang bansa ng mga inuming may alkohol para sa libangan at kasiyahan, na walang problema ngunit, inaabuso ito ng ilang tao at maaari itong humantong sa maraming nasisira at nasirang buhay.

                                       Ang isang artikulo, ay nagsasaad na 1 sa 3 Pilipino ang nag-uulat ng matinding pag-inom ng alak, at ang iniulat na 200 bilyong piso ay ang tinatayang halaga na nagdulot ng pinsala sa alkohol. 21 ·1 pagkamatay sa bawat 100,000 lalaki ay dahil sa alcohol-induced liver cirrhosis. Ang mga taong hindi umiinom para sa kasiyahan ay kadalasang mas nasa panganib dahil umiinom sila para makatakas sa masamang sitwasyon o umiinom sila ng sobra dahil alam nilang maaari silang patayin. Kung iyon ang kaso, ang mga tao sa kanilang buhay ay kailangang hikayatin silang uminom ng mas kaunti.

                 Maaari pa ring tangkilikin ang mga inuming may alkohol ngunit, pinakamahusay na tandaan na ang labis na pag-inom ay maaaring magdulot ng mga isyu sa kalusugan, mga isyu sa pag-iisip, at mga isyu sa lipunan sa iyong buhay. So please drink responsibly.

Macro Photography

                     When someone thinks of a macro photo they usually think of insects, flowers, and other greenery. People typically have the idea that rocks are boring and bland, which is why I chose a rock as my subject.

Raw Photo

  

                            I edited the photo by cropping it and improving its lighting and clarity. I cropped it to make it look like a cliff.

This rock looks like a cliff

                           

                     

Lost Purpose

                    Face to face classes, it's stressful, it's hard, and it requires discipline. Online classes, however, are easier and more laid back. Out of the two, it's a no-brainer that online classes are better, and yet students prefer face to face classes, why? Students get to meet their friends in real life and they actually get to learn something. But what makes online classes bad and face to face better?

                    In a classroom there is a dynamic that makes it work, that is the teachers and the students, They talk to each other discussing ideas and asking questions, in online classes you can't do that because cameras are turned off and mics are muted. The interaction isn't there in online classes making it harder to learn.

    

                    What about assignments or modules sent out after every online class? Won't kids learn anything from that? No, if this was the 90s or early 2000s maybe but, in this day and age we have Google. Students can just type it in Google's search bar and they'll have their answers.

                    Students that use mostly Google and not their brains, will develop into lazy students; lazy students will turn to lazy adults. Sloth is not a good thing.

                    In conclusion, face to face classes stresses out its students so that they may adapt. Online classes make students lazy because of a lack of intervention or interaction from teachers. It's a bad learning environment, and we can only hope the new generation will recover to their hardworking selves in this year's face to face classes, with the help of teachers it is indeed possible.
