I finally found my old college files! lol
These are excerpts from my old papers, lab reports and projects... haha!


Hindi pumalyang maipadama sa akin ng aking mga kaibigang may mga taong nandiyan lamang sa aking likod kadalasan para manggulat, maglagay ng kung anu-ano sa buhok ko, manundot ng pwet o magtakip ng mata ko, pero kung kinakailangan ay saluhin ako.

Parang mali a! Haha! I mean, hindi maayos yung sentence…


Many Filipinos are against biotechnology, they are tied to tradition and to the thought that there is nothing wrong with what we have been doing. People in general are too afraid of trying out new things and changing old traditions, but if it is for the best, why should we let that fear keep us from giving it a shot? Before taking a stand, people should primarily know what they are going against and at least know what they are saying no to. This paper will discuss the process of genetic modification and how it can help enhance the food supply of the Philippines.

En12 research paper... gawa ng tamad, dahil fourth year high school research paper din yan, pero may sense naman... tamad lang ako mag-isip ng topic...


...we do not only read these stories, we also write them. In our lives, the more we do, the more we experience and the more we learn, the better we can understand and interpret the stories that we read...

What I learned from Lit13... a paper for Lit14!


Sa luwag ng daloy ng trapiko, naipapakita ng mga Pilipino ang galing nila sa pagmamaneho, naging kaduda-duda nga lang kung may abilidad silang mag-isip.

Walk-a-lator! Ang sagot sa mabigat ng daloy ng trapiko sa katipunan!


Long ago, I was accepted the university that I have wanted to go to as a child. The problem was, longer ago, I have already changed my mind. But going to the Ateneo is the most logical and normal thing to do.

Haha! Karamihan sa mga papers ko about high school…


Sa ating bansa, masama ang sabihin mo sa iyong kapitbahay na huwag magtayo ng pansamantalang basketball court sa gitna ng daan para sa liga ng barangay. Hindi rin tama na magreklamo kang sinakop na naman ng mga taong nagbabaraha na dumadalo sa burol ng patay ang kalsada. Mali rin na uminom ka hanggang mapawi ang iyong uhaw kung mayroon pang ibang nakapila sa drinking fountain. Dapat din ay bilisan mo lang ang pakikipag-usap sa pay phone kung may pila. Mali rin na magreklamo sa gulo, ingay at kalat ng isang barangay tuwing pista. Sa ating bansa, mahalaga na marunong tayong “makisama,” at kung hindi ka aayon, kung iba ang iisipin at gagawin mo sa inaasahan ng tao, mahihirapan ka. Babansagan kang “walang pakisama.” ... dapat nating ituring na bokasyon ang hindi makuntento sa pangkaraniwan at napagkagawian. Ang pagturing ditong sapat ay magiging dahilan ng pagkawala o pagkasira ng ating pagtingin at paghusga sa kung ano ang tama at patas.

Fil12 argumentative paper... bakit “mali” ang kultura ng pakikisama ng Pilipino... may example pa iyan tungkol sa mga matatanda ng pakiramdam nila ay DAPAT silang paunahin sa lahat ng oras. I’m heartless, I know, pero A kaya ako diyan!


Somos ocho en la pandilla. Nuestros nombres son Ann, Justine, Amy, Rachel, La Rainne, Lilia, Krista y Mina. Somos muy lentas. Nos llamamos la pandilla de tortugas.

Spanish was my only class in Ateneo that was once held debajo los arboles...


Movements in the 3D world are along three axes: i, j and k. In layman's terms, these are the length, width and breadth1. However, a computer screen is 2D. Hence, we are not expected to see breadth. Thus, the challenge for graphic designers is to make realistic 3D images on this 2D screen that a person would say, in the 2D screen. Meaning, graphic designers should be able to make observers see breadth “in” the screen.

The techie class I learned so much from and I guess enjoyed most: Physics for Computer Science under Mr. Quirino Sugon.


... It is basically about that: principles. The Spanish Inquisition happened centuries ago and their standards may have been totally different. It would be very hard for us today in the 21st century to understand it. This may have also been why the various inquisitions occurred, those in power persecuted principles they did not understand.

Writing a paper about the Spanish Inquisition placed in my head the idea that maybe, we should judge others based on their values. But then I thought, if this was the case, I eliminate the fact that merong mismong mabuti na nagpapabuti sa lahat ng mabuti. So... is good relative? I don’t know, iniisip ko pa rin... yeah, I do that!!! Hahaha!


    * dahil kung hindi na tayo magtataka ay hindi na tayo mamamangha.
    * At sa ating pamamangha tayo ay matatangkang tumuklas
    * At sabi ng sikat na manunulat na si TS Eliot, sa ating pagtuklas ay bumbalik tayo kung saaan tayo nagmula at nakikilala natin ang lugar sa unang pagkakataon.

Bullet points for my orals on the thesis statement: Our current understanding of the universe comes from the study of the very large and the very small.
