August or the so called "Buwan ng Wika", is the month the students of Pasig City Science High School are looking forward into. Buwan ng Wika seems to be a traditional event of the school. There are a lot of activities and contests for the talented and smart to join. Some of those activities are the balagtasan, talumpatian, likhang-awit, and a lot more.

Mentioning the likhang-awit, our section IV-Boyle, has been one of the finalists included in the said school contest. To be a finalist in the likhang-awit brings so much joy to every student of IV-Boyle. It became our inspiration that we also have the potential to win. Having an inspiration to win, IV-Boyle gave their best to contribute ideas which will make the presentation better.

Days passed. We are ready. We practice singing the song in the school but we need to practice more.So the leaders decided to allot a day, it's Saturday, a week before the contest.

As today's "bombastic" generation exhibits, more and more people discover the utmost entertainment in reading, may it be a book, magazine, newspaper and the like. Because of this, websites such as Wattpad, Wordpress, and Blogspot are "skyrocketingly" popular nowadays.

Many stories are simultaneously published by the minute. In fact, in our very institution you'd never end a typical day without seeing a student with a recent book in hand.

Why? First and foremost, they say that a book can take you anywhere. It is your indefinite pass to the vast world called imagination, in the form of ink and paper. Each book is a trip to not only a faraway place but also in time and presence. It stimulates our minds into thinking that we are at that very situation and flip the succedding page to find out what happens next.

Nowadays, its really good if you could speak English and talk to the world. But as a Filipino, we should not let our own culture be left behind.

In our school, we have this kind of event in which we celebrate the pinoy culture called as Pistang Pinoy.

I could say that this year’s Pistang Pinoy was the best because I felt the unity of our class as well as our batch. Of course we were dressed in Filipiniana and Barong Tagalog. The food, though only few, we still enjoyed it with our classmates.

The best thing was when the whole batch ordered a cart street ice cream or what we call as dirty ice cream. Anyone could get their own dessert. Actually it became a buffet style ice cream.

Then we played at the corridor. I joined every possible game that I could and did my best to win. And I got a lot of candies after that.

In the life of a senior student, there will be the point where you will live your high school life to the fullest. Every moment that will happen must be treasured because it only happened once in your life. This is about my beloved school, classmates and friends.

The one of the most awaited program in the school year, the Seniors Aerodance. I know that all the sections really exerted effort to win, but the spirit of our section was the one that dominated above all. We were the one who has been proclaimed as the Champion of the 2013 Aerodance competition. Yes, we are the champion! The IV-Berzelius! Our sacrifices were not wasted. Our adviser was very proud of us and he called our section as the “Home of the Champions”

After the Aerodance, here comes another contest in the Buwan ng Wika. We won in the Balagtasan contest because of our talented classmates. We also won as the “Natatanging Pamilyang” Pilipino because of the creativeness that we did to design our classrooms and also because of our politeness to the judges when they visited our room.

Dance has many genres, like jazz, ballet, disco, ballroom hip-hop and so on. According to Wikipedia, the dance is a type of art that generally involves movement of the body, often rhythmic and to music. It is performed in many cultures as a form of emotional expression, social interaction, or exercise, in a spiritual or performance setting, and is sometimes used to express ideas or tell a story.

Malaya Ka Na Interpretative Dance contest was supposedly held last August 20, 2103. But because of the heavy rain, it was postponed and moved on September 17, 2013. The weather was a blessing in disguised for us because if the contest was pushed through last August, I think we will not be able to perform the dance well.

After a month of practicing, the competition day has come. The competition is 1:00 in the afternoon. We attended our first subject period first, practice twice the routine, eat our lunch and fix ourselves with the help of our teachers. Before leaving the school, we and some problems in terms of the transportation, the school service was not available so the MAPEH head department decided to just call tricycles just for us to be at the contest venue, Tanghalang Pasigueno, on time.

Our school, Pasig City Science High School, joined two contests for the month of September.

First is the Interpretative Dance that was held at the Tanghalang Pasigueño. The song that each school had interpreted was entitled “Malaya Ka Na, Pilipino” which is all about the freedom of our country. Actually, the event was for the celebration of the Filipino Month but it was cancelled because of the habagat.

At first, we are all excited because it was our first time to compete for our school. I can say that the eleven schools are very competitive, so everyone got no idea on who will bring home the bacon. Then, when they are announcing the winners, we keep on praying and wishing to at least have a place.

At Pasig City Science High School, August was a very special date for every August in our school was Pistang Pinoy. It is a celebration for Buwan ng Wika, so how to celebrate this event?

Each and every one of us were required to wear Barongs, Marongs, Filipiniana, and anything related to Filipino traditional wear. We brought Filipino foods for a simple gathering and ate it simultaneously.

Before that gathering was a awarding for the best student that participates for the event. Luckily, some of my classmates got hold of those prizes.

What's fun about Pistang Pinoy? Read on!
