                                         Bring you to my Travel

My first ever fieldtrip I experienced was when I was in 7th grade. I was very excited, ‘coz as a 13 years old kid, this things would be a memorable one for me with my friends and classmates.

On the day of our fieldtrip, unluckily I had a fever, but because I’m desperate to join, I didn’t take it as a hindrance. I woke up at exactly 4 in the morning to prepare myself and the stuffs I needed. Before 5 am, my friend and I arrived to our waiting area and went to our designated bus number. If I am not mistaken, there were just ten of my classmates who joined and the rest was from the other section. During our trip, there was a tourist guide speaking in front about the history of the places we will go to. He also challenge us to answer his average question and the student who will got the correct will receive a prize. We also, taking a lot of pictures inside the bus. I can hear the laughs and teasing of the students. I was just laughing inside the bus because when I opened one of my snack, it reached at the end of the bus. We were sharing our food. They were screaming because of happiness and excitement. 

When we arrived to our first spot which is Quezon Memorial Circle located at Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines. I was amazed when I saw the tall mausoleum. We were supposedly go there, but there were a lot of students who came first, therefore we weren’t able to went there. I was sad on that moment, because I really want to go inside, I was really curious what is the view of it. To lighten up the mood, we were taking pictures again, and capturing the epic faces of my classmates. 

On our second destination which is Museo ng Katipunan in the city of San Juan, in Metro Manila, Philippines. When we came here, we went inside and there was a man discussing the history of the things display inside. However, as a ‘pasaway’ student. I’m not listening and just bought a souvenir outside. When we were inside the Museum, I feel the atmosphere of old times, touch of brown colors. The pictures, sculptures, papers and painting were really amazing. This place will surely offers you a chance to journey back in time. Of course picture taking won’t forget.

For our break, we went to Mall of Asia, for the others to buy their lunch and rest for a while. Having a fever was really hard, I wasn’t even eat any amount of rice that time. Maybe because of excitement, I didn’t notice of my hunger anymore. So me and my friends went to the Seaside and take some pictures. It was very calming and relaxing place with strong wind touching my skin.

For our last destination was my favorite part and all of students waiting for. Manila Ocean Park an oceanarium in Manila, Philippines. This place is highly recommended for all types of people, regardless of your age, gender and state of living. This park was really exciting. I took a lot of pictures because of excitement. The stuffs inside, the drawings and theme was really suitable for my taste. I enjoy there a lot. Animals, cold room, loud area, cartoon characters and so much more. This park was indeed an amazing. The spotlights of fishes was really cute. If I would choose where I want to visit again, no other that this park. Before we go back, we won’t just let go, the highlight of this place which is fountain show. We wait it for almost an hour. When the show begins, my heart melts because of the beauty of the program. The water and lightings were following the beats of the music. It was also creating a shapes, an animal and many more. It was really an eye-catching. What an amazing place!

It’s time to go home. When we were inside the bus, all of us were tired. Some were sleeping, some were, eating, and others were still chatting. This trip was one of the forgetful moments I experienced. ‘Til next time. I hope you’ve got some ideas here in my experience. This is not enough, to show my excitement and happiness during our trip. I hope that you also enjoy your travels anywhere. Have a safe trip!

ONLINE STARTER PACK

The new learning system during pandemic is through distance learning/online classes. As a Grade 12 student, I’m currently in the process of online learning where we need the use of gadgets and some materials. Because of this so called new normal system, there’s a lot of changes I needed to cope up. 

I captured fifteen pictures that consist of my online starter pack. The preparation for a day before the class begins. Also during my classes and when the classes ended.

I will woke up an hour or sometimes a minute before my class begins and check my wall clock to make sure that I will not be late on my class. I will eat first and do my morning routine stuffs. After that, I will get the charger of my laptop, my earphones and my phone to check if the link of our Google meet has been sent of my teacher. During discussion, when my teacher ask someone, I’m one of those students who is sometimes active answering my teacher’s questions using the mic of my earphones. I’m also using my pen and small notebook to jut down important details of our discussion for me to remember it easily. When my subject is Physical Education, we are required to wear our P.E shirt for at least we are in order even in just virtual learning. Of course, I make sure that my background is neat and presentable during classes. That’s one of my way to lighten the atmosphere when I couldn’t absorb all the lessons. After the discussion, my teacher will give us a short quiz using Quipper App to know that we’ve learned from his/her subject. Also, they give us an activity for one week and I will write it on the calendar so that I do not forget it. It also my way to schedule what I shall do for a specific day. 

Distance learning is not easy. A lot of students are shouting for a petition to freeze the academic this year because of the problems such as the internet connection and financial necessity of the student in order for them to continue their study amidst the pandemic. But because I also want to continue my study, I’m taking risks this year and want to share my preparation for my online classes even in the middle of difficulties.
