Companies with Greek Names

Image
   If we take a closer look on different companies' names, we would be able to see bigger fonts, yes, but in deeper angles, we can say that some of their names were from the Greek era. They may use it because, they want to leave a mark or to be unique with their names.  They may also use it because the company that they have has a strong connection on a certain Greek god or goddess. Below are some of the companies   Just like a mbrosia; i n ancient Greek mythology, ambrosia is sometimes the food, sometimes the drink, of the Greek gods. But today, we have Ambrosia Natural Foods, Ambrosia Software and the famous Ambrosia Salad that has a very big connection in the Greek mythology.  We also have  Dionysus who is the  God of Wine. Today, there are Dionysus Wine and Spirits Company, Dionysus Salon and Spa, Dionysus Winery. For sure, they used Dionysus in their company because he is the god of wine.  Do you know Pandora in G...

Slam Poetry

One happy night, unfortunately not for me Made me sit in bed and cried silently It was that point wherein, everything repeats: the pain, the tears.  Those tears that made me breathe heavily and the pain that eats up my entire mind and my body “Am I going crazy or crazier?” my mind asked. Even I don’t know the answer; but I think either of the two choices can happen that night. As I was trying to cry like a kidnapped girl for mom was just next door  my heart begins to tighten Heavier breathings, more pain and pain and pain. the silence and darkness is slowly eating me up but I’m not scared I even want to be literally eaten up for I want this agony to stop I then talked to Him and closed my eyes, breathing out heavily and whispered as softly as I could, “I’m back at it again” I sarcastically started. but why am I here again? I don’t understand I want to say this is just a dream, I need to wake up because my eyes are starting to be a waterfall again but, I slapped m...

PHOTO ESSAY: Duterte is a one-word man

Image
  It is always difficult for us to stick with our promises — what we promised to do and what we should not, especially when there are a lot of people who heard and knew about your promises. Just like last Election 2016 wherein a lot of the  candidates stated their 3Ps: programs, plans and promises. And because of the last P which is promise, people put those in mind and are hoping that those will happen. Best example of the person who promised is our President Rodrigo Duterte who indicated that corruption, poverty and drugs will end in his administration. As he sits on the position for more or less three months, he had done a lot of work to end the country’s big issues and it only shows that Duterte is a one-word man. President Duterte with his pointer up which also shows a number one  during a press conference prior to his working visit to Vietnam   For three months, Duterte’s plans and actions against corruption and drugs have already started. ...

Pardo Night 2016

   One of the events that we look forward every year is the participation and the presentation of ACT in Pardo as they celebrate their annual fiesta. It began years ago and for this year, we showcased a presentation with the theme Circle of Life.     Breathtaking performances were shown from Grade School to Senior Highschool students in front of the crowd and important guests from the administration, our beloved principal and the officiating priest during the prior mass before ACT's event. Everyone was obviously nervous and excited at the same time. Everyone wants to start their performances right away so that it'll finish right away too. Bringing nervous inside ourselves is so heavy- di keri.    The Junior Highschool Department opened the event by showing different sides of performances- from fierce dances to strong vocals. The Grade School department showcased their cuteness in their performances that made everyone feel the gigil while they're perf...

  Kapag buwan na ng Agosto, alam na—buwan na ng ating wika, ang wikang Filipino. Kung saan sa ating paaralan, buong buwan natin ito pinagdidiriwang sa pamamagitan ng iba't-ibang mga aktibidad para sa lahat ng mga mag-aaral. Isa sa mga gawain ay ang pangaraw-araw na katanungan patungkol sa ating bansa, wika at sa ating mga Pilipino sa pangunguna ng guro sa Filipino sa JHS na si Gng. Jacqueline Sampaga.   Isa rin sa mga naganap na aktibidad ay ang pagbibigay ng interpretasyon sa kantang Paglaum ni Sharon Magdayao o mas kilala ngayon na si Vina Morales na pinagwagian ng Grade 9-Prudence.   At ang pinaghahandaan ng lahat ay ang pagsusuot ng kasuotang Pilipino ng bawat mag-aaral na nangyayari sa pagtatapos ng buwan. Noong ika-26 ng Agosto ay nagsuot ang lahat ng kani-kanilang mga Filipiniana, Barong Tagalog at iba pang kasuotan kung saan sa pagsusuot din ay naipapakita natin ang ating pagiging pagka-Pilipino.  Ang akin namang isinuot ay ang baro't saya na nanggaling...

PARODY: We Filipinos Have Comfort Rooms

(A Parody of 'We Filipinos are Mild Drinkers') The American troupe landed in the rice field of Cagayan wherein they stayed for a while with their tents and stuff. One of the soldiers, Peter Merlock, went out from the tent and was trying to escape from someone — or was trying to hide something. 'Gosh! This military thingy is so tiring! Ugh!' He did not know that a young Filipino farmer heard him while having a good conversation with his carabao. 'Was that you, Sir? I think I heard a female voice in the troupe.' Peter was shocked when he turned back and realized what the farmer meant. He cleared his throat then said, 'What me?! I-I did not do anything, farmer! Get back to work!' He exclaimed with his manly voice. The farmer then left with a curious mind and sighed. The next day, Peter was looking for a comfort room in the fields. 'How many times do I have to repeat this, Merlock?! There are no comfort rooms here!' The general said with ...

How To Win A Jingle Competition?

Image
It has always been a routine that when the month of July arrives, everyone will be busy with different activities prepared every year including the jingle-making contest based on the theme. From Grades 4 to Grade 10, you'll hear the loud voices from the students and loud sounds from the beat boxes during the practices. We may have different concepts and songs, we all have one goal in the competition: to win as the champions. (c) Google But fulfilling that goal is not easy. There are important traits to apply in every member and in the group. First on the list is to have cooperation. Everyone must agree on the decisions and plans in and of the group. Everyone must help one another and do tasks together to finish early. (c) Google. Again. Second, all of the members must have discipline among themselves because if everyone sees that one is disciplined from the start until the end, everyone will be motivated and will be lift up too. Last but not the least; every...
