Summer Time with Amazing People

Wazzup Pilipinas!

YEHEY WOHOO YES SUMMER TIME” when you hear this from the students, you will know it it’s an indication that summer has arrived. So what did I accomplish during summer?

I didn’t have a luxurious vacation like having a night in another country nor spend the week at Boracay but having and experiencing this simple but complicated things and matters this summer made me feel braver and stronger.

First meet my best friends the tallest is Nicole and the one in orange is Shenna. I just want to share this event because this is one of the things in summer that helped me a lot. May 21, 2013 we attended Shenna’s recital at Araneta Coliseum. At the venue, we shouted and supported Shenna by the time she was already performing. After that we had our dinner at a fast-food chain, like the usual we ate at KFC and it was already past midnight. I informed my parents that I'm sorry because I made them worry and I'll arrive at home late and all. I can’t even eat properly Shenna and Nicole kept on telling me “sorry ha mapapagalitan ka na uyy kain ka na sige ka papayat ka” these lines helped me to enjoy the day even I know that my parents will scold me when I got home.

What im saying is that we came from different schools like Shenna from San Benildo Nicole from St.Scho Pampanga and me at PCSHS but we don’t forget to bond with each other if we have time, this bond between us is “unkabokable” its strong this bond keeps on going for 7 years, its priceless.

Philippine Independence Day is an annual national holiday commemorating the Day of Freedom or "Araw ng Kalayaan". It is observed every 12th of June to commemorate the Philippine Declaration of Independence from Spain on June 12, 1898.

Independence Day was officially observed on July 4 until the Republic Act No. 4166, which set out to move the holiday to June 12, was approved on August 4, 1964.

It is a day when many people, including government officials, employees, and students, participate in nationwide celebrations in the form of parades and events related to Independence Day. However, the main highlight is the police and military parade in Manila headed by the country’s incumbent president, followed by a speech and a 21-gun salute.

The Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) conducted bid submission and opening activities yesterday (11 June 2013) for the P 3.769-Billion MRT-3 Capacity Expansion Project, disclosing that it has decided to drop a proposal to purchase second-hand trains from Spain.

“We looked at our options for purchasing some of the coaches from Metro de Madrid, but it turns out that this would not have significantly improved the timeframe we are working on,” said DOTC spokesperson Migs Sagcal.

“So we decided to continue with the ongoing procurement of new trains instead. This should also result in lower maintenance costs,” he added.
