Blog Making

When I heard Sir Tom saying "Gagawa kayo ng sarili niyong blog as a project niyo sa First Quarter sakin sa Computer Science", I was like "OMG! Gagawa na rin ako ng sariling blog ko sa wakas!". The problem is, I dont know how to make a blog. HAHA! I spend 3 hours watching video tutorials on YouTube and still I dont get it. I spend another 1 hour searching and searching for How to Make a Blog and finally I went up to a video that helped me a lot. I thought it was easy for me to make a blog after watching the video but when I tried to create a blog, I was wrong. I ended up 11 hours making my blog. I'm really tired after making my blog that I felt I slept through the school year. But when I woke up on the morning, I feel very happy because I finally finished my project and it is fun learning how to make my own blog!

A Day Without Sir Tom

The Grade VII-Diamond class now went to the Computer Science Laboratory but Sir Tom wasn't there. While waiting for Sir Tom, we decided to have a choral singing outside the laboratory. We had lots of fun singing but on the other hand we are also sad that Sir Tom is not there to teach us this time. But after that day, the subject is doubled with fun because of the fun hands-on activities, new lessons and Sir Tom's jokes.

Excitement and Disappointment at Computer Science Laboratory

I feel excited when its time for our Computer Science ce subject. Before going to the Laboratory, my classmate Eisha says "Guys, Com Sci na po, punta na po sa lab!" that is one of our unforgettable moments in the classroom. When I enter the Computer Science laboratory, I feel excited and ready for the coming hands-on activities and the cool air that refreshes me during hot days. But before the classes ends, I always end up in disappointment because of unfinished work. This is because of the slow internet connection and the PC unit I am using always hang. Good thing that our teacher allows us to finish it the day after.

Cramming on the First Quarter


Five projects to be passed next week? How will I do it? Its okay if the projects are very easy that I can do it for 2 days. But no! Its like you fell from a 50 feet hole and there's no one around who can help you. Luckily that our fist long weekend saved the day. Feels like a ladder fell from heaven where you can climbed up to pass the challenge.

Bad Brownouts


Brownout yesterday. brownout today, brownout tomorrow, brownout everyday. Why brownout during Computer Science? I just like "argghh" during brownouts in Computer Science class. No fun hands-on activities, no knowledge, no Havey and Waley joke from Sir Tom and of course, what me, Inna and Rina are waiting for, the Air-conditioned room during hot days. My classmates always say "Grabe ang init!". I reply "Sorry ha, hot talaga ako!". But some of my classmates like brownouts because they can go to the canteen early. And I reply "Grabe, kakakain niyo pa lang ng tanghalian, gutom agad?".

Using Command Prompt


One week before we discussed this topic, our Computer Science teacher once said "Imagine computers without mouse". In my mind, I said "Wow, ang hirap naman nun! Masakit yun sa ulo!". When we arrived in the topic, I found that I was wrong. Command Prompt is there. The problem why I don't believe the task is because I am not familiar with this Command Prompt. At the first trial, it was hard for me to complete the task. But when I tried for many times, it seems very easy for me now.

Introduction to Microsoft Word


After so many weeks, we finally reached activities using Microsoft Word. Microsoft Word? I know how to use it since my Elementary years! I use this in making projects, assignments and group works. I thought using Microsoft Word is easy. But when we reached some hands-on activities like the Math Equations. This proves that we must give importance to some parts of Microsoft Word.

Applying Values Education in Computer Science


Computer Science isn't only about the computers, but also learning virtues. Thank you Sir Tom for showing us the good characters inside the Computer Science Laboratory. Even if your subject is not Values Education, you showed us the right characters, especially the gift of sharing. We learned to share our Computer to the one who doesn't have Computer units. Virtues are learned not because it was taught by our teachers, family and friends but because of your experiences inside and outside the class.

To the Coolest Computer Science Teacher


Two months with Sir Tom? Why is it so fast? This is one of my most favorite subject in Pisay. I love and enjoy every topic and hands-on topic given by Sir Tom. Thank you for the knowledge, the skills and the Havey and Waley jokes you've shared to us. You're a part of our success as we, the Batch 2019 go through an adventurous journey in Philippine Science High School. To the coolest teacher in Computer Science, we LABUSER.

First Day of Classes

Philippine Science High School- Bicol Region Campus
It's school time again and I'm in High School now! My emotions are like a roller-coaster ride. I feel a little bit nervous and little bit scared on the first day because of all the new things: new teachers, new friends and a new school. A little bit sad that my new school is far from our house, really far from our house. Luckily, these "new" worries only stick around for a little while. And also, I'm very happy to meet my new classmates and friends where I can share my happy and sad experiences for 6 years in my stay in Philippine Science High School. To my friends Rina, Inna, Ralvina, Maricon Paula, Maan and Nadine, I want to thank you for accepting me for who I am, for sharing me your trusts and for sharing your joys with me. I hope our friendship becomes stronger and happier!
