Maasinhon Trio Wins in PGT

PGT or Pilipinas Got Talent is a franchise show from abroad. It is a show which is open to any talents; singing, dancing, magic trick and other skills and talents that could amaze the audience.This is hosted by Billy Crawford and Luis Manzano. Of course, PGT couldn't be PGT without the three buzzers and the three jugdes who are Kris Aquino, Aiai Delas Alas and Freddie Garcia.

PGT hosts, judges, staff and crew went all over the Philippines for some audition. And there were thousands of auditionees who tried their fate just for the prize worth two million pesos. After a series of audition, the contestant who got the YES of the judges will undergo elimination round. In here, from hundreds who passed the audition, there will only 36 who'll be qualified for the Semi-finals. And they will be performing and showed us what they got. There will be 6 contestants who will perform every week. And I'm to say that my co-maasinhon got a spot in the 36. Evry week, PGT will only get two from the contestant and it was based on text and online voting. And luckily, Maasinhon Trio got a spot for the lucky twelve to perform for the Grand finals. During the Grand Finals, every contestants showed their very best just to prove that they were all deserving for where they are now. It was September 22. Day after, it was the result night. During that day, our Province and City Officials and the Diocese together with the people of So. Leyte united and supported the trio to its last fight. And greatly, Maasinhon Trio proclaimed as the Winner. Yeheyyyyyyyyyyy!!!

After the result night, there were many speculations against the Trio. All I can say is that it was others fault for the lose of their bets since they didn't supported them heartily. Maasinhon don't mind the speculations since we fight it fairly up to the very last. What's important is we are so very proud of the Maasinhon Trio. We thank them for bringing the pride of our Homeland.  CONGRATULATIONS MAASINHON TRIO!! GBU!

Fe Reminiscing Her Being A Nursing Student

Nursing! Nursing Degree! Nursing Course!
 
Whoa, this is what I want. But, I guess, it was really not meant for me. When I was in high school, I always imagined myself wearing white uniform, working in a hospital and caring for a patient. But, I think, this wouldn't be because of my situation now.

All I can do is to reminisce and cherished the moment when I was a Nursing student. I cant's forget those sleepless nights making our case presentation. While making this, this our time to jam with classmates. We had food trip that time since if we are in school, we are very busy studying and memorizing our lessons for quizzes. I can still remember the feeling during our very first day of duty. Wew! I felt very nervous and innocent during that time even though we are already oriented about the happenings in the field. I can still remember our favorite subject which is vacant. We treasured every vacant of ours to sleep or to room around the stores of Maasin. We went out together for a window shopping. Hehehe. I find it enjoyable. Also, we experience to serve the community like having a feeding and lecture about health especially about dengue since that time, dengue is attacking the people around the Philippines.

All of that and more, it's still in my memory box. I treasured all of that. This is how I love my former course. Sad to say I can't be a nurse anymnore. Still, I'm so thankful since I'm still lucky for I can continue my education and have a degree which is very important. God Bless us all!

Me Being an Accountancy Student 2

"If you can manipulate news, a judge can manipulate the law. A smart lawyer can keep a killer out of jail, a smart accountant can keep a thief from paying taxes, a smart reporter could ruin your reputation- unfairly." - Mario Coumo.

Before I took up this course, I know it wouldn't be easy to be an accountancy student. As I see the student taking up this course, they were always in front of their finger-to-finger thick books. As I imagine myself at their position, whoa, I think I get crazy since I'm not the type of person who used to read books that much. I'm not that studious. 

Now, I took up this course. Way back my highschool, I never imagine myself to work as an accountant.It wasn't really crash ion my dreams. And look, what happen to me, I'm currently taking up this course. Actually, Accountancy is my 3rd choice of course. Even though I didn't like it, I just included it in my top 3 choices since it was my parents who want it. What I want is to become a nurse.  Honestly, at my first month, I cried every night since I really don't like this course. I shifted because of financial problem. Nursing is too expensive and I realize that it's to do what my parents want which is to take up Accountancy course. SIGH!

Now, as an accountancy student, I found it difficult on the first day since for me, I went back to zero. I met terms that are not familiar to me. I'm struggling every our accounting session. At first, during our quizzes, I got low scores. Whoa. So disappointed with myself. I felt like I'm a failure. But, after few days, I recovered. I studied and familiarize the terminologies and some principles. And, I got high score during drills or quizzes. I'm so proud of myself. In fact, I was not expecting a high grade on our Mid-term exam. I was the highest. Yeheyyyyyyyyyyyy...

With this, I was inspired to study more hard so I will end up being an accountant someday. Wish me luck!!! God bless you!

Me Being An Accountancy Student 1

As you read my title, you may wonder why I mention the accountancy course. Yeah, right! I am now an accountancy student. In here, you will know the reason why I shift from Nursing to Accountancy, how is it to be an accountancy student and how did I feel for shifting a different course. These questions mentioned are to be answered later. But, now, let's talk about the Accountancy Course.

The Bachelor of Science in Accountancy (BSA) prepares students for entry into a variety of fields in accountancy, including corporate accounting, accounting information systems, and governmental accounting, as well as entry into graduate programs such as law. It also equips students with basic and advanced accounting concepts, principles and procedures. In addition to doing accounting functions for business enterprises, the students are prepared for public accounting after passing the CPA licensure examination. (http://www.letran.edu/collegiate/cbaa/cbaa_acctg.php).

In here, students in their first year were taught and introduce to basic accounting principles, accounting concepts, and accounting terminology. Once the student be familiar with the terminology, they will be comfortable navigating the explanations, drills and puzzles. In here, students were pre-oriented the importance and obligations of an accountant in a company or in an organization.


1st SEMESTER

According to my research, wikipedia, semester divides the academic year into two, mostly 16-18 weeks each. Literally, it is a six months period. In other countries, they have different set of school years. In Philippines, we have two semesters for colleges and universities. It begins on the month of June and ends up on 3rd week or sometimes last week of October. There are also universities in our country like De la Salle University, for example, that used different set of school years unlike the usual school year we used to.

First semester for the freshmen are the period of adjustments. It is when they catch up and adjust on their new environment with different faces in their new school. It is a stuggling period. For me, during my first semester in college, whoa, I felt nervous upon entering the school since most of the faces are not familiar to me. There were many students seen unlike in highschool. Also, it is when I became a bedspacer. It was really hard for me to be away from my parents side for the first time. Also, classmates were different in each subject, well, some have the same but mostly has different subject each. I found it hard during the first semester. I found it difficult to adjust. WEW!!! First semester is the start of every freashmen's dream. It could be consider as the first step. Every semester is not really easy. Students experienced sleepnights making their assignments and studying their lessons, spending time in library doing some research and jamming with their close friends for a quite sometime just to relax themselves from the stressful activity that the semester had given to the students. With those, some students found it interesting and enjoyable that they continue their schooling. Also, some could discover that their course didn't fit to them that they need to shift to the other course they will like. And some may stop maybe because they found it tiring to study.

All of those were experienced by students. And now that the first semester has ended, well, thumbs up to those students for they survive the stressful half of the school year. High five for them. Good luck to all of us for the next semester. God Bless!

TYPHOON

We all know that Philippines is currently suffering from poverty. One of its reason is the effect of the calamities attacking into it. Like what had happen just weeks ago. It was last week of September and about first week of October when two typhoons named Pedring and Quiel attacked Philippines especially on the upper part of it, the Luzon.

These two typhoons brought a disaster to the Philippines. It added the problems that our country is facing now. Our country hasn't yet recovered from the result of the previous typhoons and now, there were trials again. OH MY! It was really heartbreaking watching the news about the disaster the two typhoons had caused. People were suffering from hungry since they can't get food because they were trapped by the flood which is above human level. In fact, some stayed at their house second floor while others stayed at the roofs. In order for the other victims to go from one area to another, they used small boats as their transportation. Also, some walked kilometers away just to get food whenever they hear hearsays that their are some donations arrived. They sacrificed to walk in order to feed their crying stomachs. As we can see the news, there really millions or billions maybe of damaged. From people themselves who died, their agricultural area which is one of their source of income, from the things they worked hard to buy, the schools and schools materials, to the roads that has been not used because of the landslide that trapped many commuters. That was really a damn damaged.

WHOA. I was very sad by it. I am thankful that it didn't happen into our place. On the other hand, I felt really sorry for those typhoon victims. I know even if I didn't experience it, it's really difficult. I just pray their goodness to God. It's all I can do, to pray and left it up to the LORD. To all the typhoon victims, don't lose hope. There's still tomorrow. God Bless!!!
