Social Involvement Fair

Ang Unang Hakbang

Ang Social Involvement Fair (SIF) ay isang 3-day fair na naglalayong paigtingin ang diwa ng pakikisangkot at pagiging mulat sa mga suliraning panlipunan na kasalakuyang kinakaharap ng ating bayan. Hinahangad ng SIF na bigyang tugon ang mga suliraning ito sa pamamagitan ng pagbibigay sa mga mag-aaral ng pagkakataong makisangkot sa gawain ng iba't ibang mga non-government organizations (NGO) at organisasyong pang-estudyante.

Cultural Immersion
Taking the Plunge

The Cultural Immersion unit of the ACP is an invitation for students of the Loyola Schools to immerse in the diversity of Philippine culture so that they can realize the depth, color, and beauty of our identity as a people and in effect, see the strength of the Filipino. It is an invitation to build a nation that is proud of its art, history and heritage as well as a nation that is forward-looking and progressive. Take the plunge and get into a cultural immersion!

Political Education Workshop

Botong Atenista: Boto Mo Tungo Sa Pagbabago

Critical Thinking Classes
These are morning classes that are for mature voters who either want to be in the know or just want to be more responsible citizens. These classes will focus on certain social issues such as Cha-Cha, activism, etc. With the help from groups like IAMNINOY, Entablado, The Assembly and esteemed speakers, hopefully by the end of it the students will be knowledgeable in such topics and will be more concerned on the welfare of our country..

The classes handled by Simbahang Lingkod ng Bayan (SLB) will eventually teach them to become responsible voters in the upcoming 2010 elections. It will also focus on issues such as good governance.

I will remember this day as the day that I promised myself that I will rise from the ashes of chem failure (HAHA) and conquer the chemical kinetics and intermolecular forces that embody chemistry. I can do this!

Give me courage, grant me wisdom.

after the first long exam

Today turned out better than I expected. Unlike the disaster brought by the opening of classes last week, Monday started out nicely. Despite the lack of sleep, upset stomach and throbbing head, I like this day. Despite of the failure that was Theology Long Test, I'm glad I'm done with it. And despite of the coming Chemistry retake and Theology mock presentation, I'm looking forward to the end of the week. I think and I realize it's all about how we look at things. A little hope and optimism won't hurt. :)

I texted my mom tonight telling her, "Mama, ang hirap ng theo. Ang hirap ng chem." And thankfully, she replied, "Okay lang yan, mas mahirap kung hindi ka nag aral. At least nag try ka." Parang ako yung nagsasalita.

I've been really tired lately, physically and mentally. But a good friend once said, "it's better to experience physical pain because it leaves your mind off the emotional pain." True true. So let's bring on more physical stress!

On a side note, watch this video. Prime minister of Russia is a judo black belter. :O How cool is that, and it doesn't stop there. He even has his own how-to-judo video. Hahaha. Astig. I'd want a president who's like that.
