Germany Says Mabuhay to Celebrate 60 Years of Friendship with the Philippines

Wazzup Pilipinas!

It was a weekend of celebration that allowed attendees to experience Germany up close and personal in the heart of Metro Manila. Several booths from both sponsors and exhibitors lined up along the stretch of Bonifacio High Street, Bonifacio Global City (BGC) to celebrate two days of exciting festivities dubbed as "Mabuhay Germany".

German food like grilled sausages with potato salad, cabbage and schnitzel with Bavarian beers, home-made desserts, cakes and cookies plus other highlights of Germany were showcased last February 22 and 23 to celebrate the 60th year of friendship between the Philippines and Germany.

Each booth had fabulous giveaways and contests that will allow you to win prizes easily. There was a game in one of the booths where you have to spot the differences between two almost identical photos, another booth has a game that will make you guess the word based from a photo and an incomplete word, one booth will require you to hit all the cans using just two balls to win a prize, another one will ask you to shoot golf balls in a miniature golf course, there was even a card game that will make you guess if the next card in the series is higher or lower in number, plus lots of other fun games available in all the booths. I went home with an eco-friendly bag full of souvenirs.

With the days quickly passing by, summer is approaching quite fast. Well,... that only means one thing: Vacation is near and we would be able to sleep all day as long as we want without worrying about requirements we need to finish, things we need to review, and other school/work related stuff that really stress us out.

Though often we found ourselves being bored with nothing to do hence wasting our days watching TV or sleeping all day long until the time comes and we need to go back to our stressful lives. Well, fear not! This article might help you this upcoming vacation to spend your time rather than being at home all day long.

Allons-y!

Who says that February was the only month that celebrates something romantic on its fourteenth day?

Well, maybe here on the Philippines it’s only in February, but in other countries particularly Japan, they have this thing called White Day which apparently falls on the fourteenth day of March, just a month after the celebration of Valentine’s Day.

Everyone has one or two special memory that they will never forget. A memory of a day they feel enjoyed, relaxed or just simply happy. Anything can be a precious memory, may it be bad or good. Life is full of mysteries and adventures especially for students like us.

For us, life is about school.. but not all of it. School is a place where most of the precious and memorable things happen. There are a lot of things you will experience once you become a student. A lot of events to celebrate and a lot of things to learn and enjoy.

I know every student like me, among all of school's activities, anticipate for this day. Yes, it's the school's Field Trip! Hooray! Let me share to you how I spent one of the precious days of a student.

Museum Manila

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Last February 20, 2014, we had our field trip. It may not be the most memorable one for me but I totally had fun. We were asked to go to school before 5:30 am for us not to be caught on a heavy traffic. We were with IV-Lewis, Ms. Hazel (our adviser) and Ms. Perez (IV-Lewis' adviser) in the bus. Some people say that during fieldtrips, it is in the bus where you will enjoy the most. Well, I guess they're right.

Our first destination was the Museum Manila. From there we learned some facts about ancient China, Greece, and Egypt. I thought it would be boring but I guess it wasn't that bad. I learned many things in there. I could even connect our lessons in History with some facts that were mentioned there.

After the Museum Manila, next was the Aguinaldo Shrine. Our tour guide asked us to fall in line because we need to wait for our turn to go inside Aguinaldo's house. It was amazing to know how they preserved the things in there. After we went to Aguinaldo's house, we had a stop over for us to eat our lunch. After eating our lunch, we went to Enchanted Kingdom.

Last February 20, 2014, students of Pasig City Science High School including me had our field trip in Museum Manila, Aguinaldo Shrine, and Enchanted Kingdom. We needed to arrive there on or before 5:30-6:00 am in the morning so that we could live there earlier as possible and to avoid being stuck in heavy traffic.

III-Kelvin with our adviser Ms.Hazel together with !V-Lewis with their adviser, Ms.Perez, were at the bus 17.

Our first destination was in the Museum Manila. We learned a lot of things like facts about the things in other countries. The place is really a must visit because of the pleasing appearance of the Museum and you will learn many things. We should be careful to avoid damages in the museum. A lot of students and teachers were taking pictures at the museum. We were happy to visit the place because it is really nice.

Last February 20, 2014 we had our field trip. I was so excited that I woke up 3:45 AM. My mom helped me in fixing my things that I’ll bring. I arrived at PCSHS 5:00 AM. I was happy and excited when I saw my classmates waiting for my other classmates and for our bus.

Everyone’s excited for the field trip! When we were on the bus, there’s a little misunderstanding about the seats but we managed to solve it. My seatmates in the bus were Kiara and Mitszi. While we were on the way to our first destination, our tour guide, Kuya Monty, held some games for us and it was fun!

Our first destination was The Museum Manila located at Pasay City. I learned many things at this museum. We saw many artifacts from the different ancient civilizations. My favorite artifacts were the Jackal and the replica of the Great Wall of China. The artifacts were really good! You should visit this museum!

All of us love movies right? So I'm planning to update you with the best movies coming this 2014! Movies, for some, are just entertainment or some things to pass their time. But for me, movies always have a lesson for us to learn. There is always a message from the author no matter how full of cinematic special effects.

Also, without a great director, the movie will not be as good as how the author envisioned it. You will know that the director was great if he was able to put us in awe for the entire length of the movie, and made us think and wonder at the end.

Our interests are captured by the astonishing display of stunning computer-generated eye-candy but we should also look into the lessons that they share for they may benefit us as well.

So I'm planning to lecture you that movies are important to our lives so we can learn different aspects in life.

K-Pop is one of the booming type of music today. K-Pop or Hallyu Wave pertains to people who are into Korean music, dramas, food - in other words, Korean culture.

Usually K-Pop is a genre of music which deals with popular music in South Korea. This type of music and dance is usually performed by different idol groups.

Infinite, EXO, SHINee, Girl's Generation, Super Junior, TVXQ, U-Kiss, and 2ne1 are the usually groups that are well-known in Korea.

K-Pop isn't new to me, but in the later part of my sophomore year, the spirit of being a K-pop burst and popped out naturally unto me. Yes, I admit! I don't like K-pop before and it really pisses me off. However, there's something that I can't resist. I guess the upbeat music, dance steps, and specially the good-looking idols (K-pop group members are called idols.)
