My Entrep Champ Workshop

On May 16, 2015, we went to Global tower, BGC Taguig, where there was a workshop called “Little Boss”. The speaker there was Mr. Paulo Tibig, the author of the book “Strategy of Entrepreneur Champion”.

My favorite part was when we do the business planning with my group-mates. Following the six Ps - Product, Place, Promotion, Price, People and Packaging.

My dream businesses are shopping mall, making my own car company and my own airport. My favorite of them all is to have my own shopping mall.

We were all about sixty kids and I met new friends like Bettina and Mikko. My cousin JC joined too.

We learn an important DESS principle of donate, earn, save and spend. We also learn that the money that go around is like the merry go around.

A Colorful Resort

On April 21, 2015, we went to Malolos so we can swim with my cousins Bono, Ate Clarisse, Ate Eunice, Eurryx and Euanne. We went to Grass Resort.

First, we left our things at the bahay kubo then we took a shower. There is a kiddie pool and a deep pool. We swam around, play, jump and dive (and flop ) for 3 hours.  After that we went to the boat and rode it by pulling a tight rope tied on both ends. We don’t have a paddle.

Next we practiced our photography . Going around, I took photos of a wooden window, a small waterfall, a brown metal garden light and lots of colorful and interesting plants and flowers.

Then, we played badminton before finally leaving for home.

Summer Reach-Out 2015

The Summer Reach-out 2015 is all about learning and fun. Their seminars were about Arts and Craft, Personal Development, Acting, Animation and Photography.

I chose photography because I like pictures. I learned about capturing the light, emotions and timing. Next, we pictured the white plastic cup and made a story. Next, we pictured the whole event and the shops in the mall and their logos and other interesting things. Finally, I submitted the photos of plants, human, food and shop logos because those pictures are nice and beautiful for me.

Our teacher is a fashion photographer, kuya Jeffrey Herbolario.

Summer reach-out is memorable for me because I learned about photography and met new friends. Theo, from CFA, was also there!   

My Holy Week For Jesus

On Holy Wednesday night, Bono and I pulled the St. Peter carriage. The design is that the rooster is besides him, angels are at the front and flowers are around the carriage. We pulled it around the whole of Alido subdivision in Malolos Bulacan.

On Maundy Thursday night. We went to EDSA shrine church. We held the station of the cross and our parents read the prayer and reflections while the kids sang a religious song. Bill ( my choir friend ) carried the cross and I carried the candle.

On Good Friday in Alido church, Papa Ben, my grandfather, made a speech in Filipino language for the Seven Last Words of Jesus and his topic is the fourth last word. At night we have another procession.

On Black Saturday night we sang to Jesus, “Queen of Heaven Rejoice” while others performed dancing and singing also during the “Salubong”. There was even a fireworks show.

Finally, on Grand Easter Sunday Feast at the SM MOA Arena there was a holy mass celebration, lots of stories and lots of singing. The priest is a foreigner and uncle Brother Bo Sanchez was also there at the arena. He told a story called the Good Samaritan (it’s a play). A man was hurt by a robber and the Priest and the Levite did not help but the Samaritan helped the poor man.

If Jesus was here, I will thank Him for saving us and I promise that I will try not to sin again.

Grade Six, Here I Come!

On March 20, we went to Layforce Chapel at Guadalupe Makati where I was joining our moving up ceremony. This means I am moving up from Grade 5 to Grade 6. My classmates were also there. Their names are Paul Cadiz, Nathan De Guzman, Fil Santos, and Sophie Silao.

We participated during the Holy Mass before receiving our certificates and medals. After that, the teachers called our names to receive our academic certificates and character award medals before taking a picture with our Catholic Filipino Academy http://catholicfilipinoacademy.com founder Bro. Bo Sanchez. My classmates and I are so happy that we are moving up to Grade 6.

And by the way, my academic award is Mathematics. My favorite lesson is about Integers and Geometry. And my character award is Generosity because I always visit the poor and needy children at Grace to be Born and other orphanages to share my so many blessings and God's love to them.

We are also inspired again by Bro.Bo Sanchez inspirational talk for us that we can be the best and amazing in the future.

Thank you Reverent Fr. Eric Castro for celebrating the Holy Mass on this special day for us all CFA students. 

Vow Kami sa Davao

On March 16, we went to Davao for a vacation and to meet new friends. We rode an airplane to Davao. Then, we went to Crown Regency. We stayed there for 3 days. Next was the Davao Museum. It’s full of history there like bahay kubo, national heroes and pictures made of fruits. Then, we met Tita Chang-Chang, Tito Ryan, Ate Rain and RL. They invited us to go to the mall and ate there.

Solar Energy 101

To make the solar house, we prepared the following materials- soap boxes, glue, glue gun, Lego parts, white paint spray, battery and the solar panel.

Step 1: Glue the soap boxes.

Step 2: spray it with white paint.

Step 3: connect all parts for the solar panel system.

Step 4: assemble and fit my Lego parts inside.

During daytime, sunlight is changed to electricity by the solar panel and stored electricity from the battery. During nighttime, the stored electricity from the battery powers the house’s appliances’ like light, TV, air conditioner and electric fan. On daytime, the cycle is repeated.

Solar is a good for the environment because it does not use fossil fuel, does not produce pollution and the sunlight is always free.

Yamaha Recital

I enrolled at Yamaha School of Music because I like singing and playing the piano. The songs and piano pieces that I have learned so far are “ A Dozen A Day”,” Rude “,” Yankee Doodle”,” The Chimes”, “ Paratrooper and “Mary had a  Little Lamb”.

On February 28, we went to Robinson’s mall for my recital. There was a recital because they wanted to show the parents what the students have learned. My friends also came to watch me play the big black piano and to sing a inspirational song. Eighteen participants performed and I played “The Pet Shop “ and sang ”You Raise me Up “.During recital I felt scared with so many people but I did well.

After that, we had a snack and the Yamaha students and I talked about funny things. Yes, I did enjoy my recital because I like music.
