Us An Employer

I’ve got a serious case of the block right now, although I really do want to write. And I should have. Today is a nonworking holiday to celebrate our Muslim friends’ Eid’l Fitr. A couple of friends and I were supposed to write lyrics for our class’ Math jingle but the whole thing ended up [...]

I haven’t fallen off the face of the earth (at least, not yet)

The past few weeks have been very hectic for me, and as a result this blog has gathered some dust. My bad. I had suddenly become preoccupied with the Science Fair—I had two choices: work on a study or get a failing grade in Chemistry—and other goings-on in life.

Anyway, yesterday was Friday, but there were no classes for some reason. A few of my friends and I [...]

Chief Scribe No More

As of today I have been relieved of my editor-in-chief position in our school’s official English publication. Seniority issues were raised and the school paper’s adviser finally decided to install a Senior writer in the top post to avoid further conflicts/misunderstandings.
I fully respect the decision and believe that it will ultimately lead to a stronger [...]

Congrats to STAG; I’m an Editor-in-Chief now [LIFE]

The freshman politicians of Service Through Appropriate Governance (STAG) Party, one of the two major political parties in Agusan National High School (and the one to which I belong), once again won the recently-held First Year elections by a landslide, with all six of the party’s candidates grabbing the First Year Supreme Student Government seats.
