UP High?Nope,it's OURAN High!!

I've already shared to you that I'm a certified anime fanatic.I love anime so much and I've watched a lot of them already.I want to share to you one of the best anime that I've seen.I've mentioned this already from my other post here.It's entitled,the Ouran High school Host Club.
I first heard this anime from my friend,Nneka who is also an anime lover.I wasn't really that interested at first but when my classmate Gilphanie kept telling me that it was nice,I then started to like it.Gilphanie lent me her Ouran High school Host Club DVD for me to watch.So I watched it the whole day in a Saturday morning.And it was really nice,as in,superb!!It was so funny and so romantic too.The characters are so beautiful and well-drawn.It's a story about a girl named Haruhi.She is a poor student or as what they call it,a "commoner".She is a scholar of Ouran Academy.Ouran Academy is defined as,one,prestigious families and two,wealth.She first encountered the Host Club when she was finding a room to study and noticed an unused Music Room in the third floor.She went inside and met the Host CLub members there.Ouran High school Host Club is defined as handsome boys who have time giving "hospitality" to beautiful girls who also have time. Unluckily,Haruhi broke a vase worth 8 million yen!The Host Club members,not knowing that Haruhi was a girl because of her civilian clothes (she can't afford to buy her own uniform,for girls),her thick eyeglasses (she lost her contact lenses) and because of her very short hair (a child put a bubble gum in it so she cut it) ,decided to make her as the Host Club "dog" or in other word,a servant.There,she worked as a servant until they discovered that she was "good-looking" and was suitable to be a Host.They made her a Host club member and decided that if she gets 100 customers,her debt will be paid (they still didn't know that she was a girl except for Kyouya).Until Tamaki,the founder of the Host Club,accidentally saw her changing her uniform (they lent her one when she became a Host Club member).He then knew that she was a girl.The Host Club consits of six handsome men before Haruhi arrived.The one who started this club was Tamaki Suoh.He is the so called "king" of the club.He was the very last person in the host club who knew that Haruhi was a girl.Kyouya Ootori is considered to be the "shadow king" of the club.He was the first one who discovered that Haruhi was a girl.He wears eyeglasses that makes him more respectable and handsome.Next in line are the Hitachiin twins.They are Kaoru and Hikaru.They are so identical that people don't know which one is Hikaru and which one is Kaoru.But when Haruhi arrived,she was the only one who can tell which one was Kaoru and Hikaru.The two other members are Haninozuka Mitsukuni and Morinozuka Takashi.They are the oldest members of the group while Haruhi and the twins are the youngest.Mitsukuni is the shortest member(4'5 ft) which is exactly opposite of Morinozuka because he is the tallest memeber of the group(6'2 ft).They are the people who make Haruhi's stay in Ouran more exciting and fun.
Hope you understood my summary of the story.Just watch it and I guarantee you that you will really love it too.You can really relate with it because it's a story about high school friendship and highschool love.So,that's all,hope you liked it!!!

Something About Sci-tech Week..

Last month,we just had our Sci-tech week.It was a very hectic week.During that week,there were science congress and science fair performed by the 4th year students in UP.The projects also of the 1st,2nd and 3rd years were presented.

Eventhough students were very busy that week preparing for their projects,it was still fun because there were no classes.Each day,we have an activity so we don't have any classes.But that Thursday during that week,we had a class the whole day and our teachers managed to give us new lessons to study.Eventhough we had a class that day,during the next day was the closing of the Sci-tech week.We had game and radio quiz.That day too was the awarding of the winners in the contests in each year levels.In the first years was the slogan writing contest.In the second years was the contest in reused geometrical figures.In the third years was about the titration of diffeent kinds of vinegars.And in the fourth years was their investigatory projects during the science congress ans science fair.The winners in the slogan writing contest were already announced.I thought that it was just going to be a boring awarding ceremony but it was not.During the announcing of the winners for the contest in reused geometrical figures .I really didn't hope or wish to win because I really didn't think that our project could win.But when it announced that the first place went to our KOKO robot project,I really could not believe it!Even my other groupmates in that project didn't expect that blow.At first,I thought,maybe I heard it wrong but I can't deny it.I heard it with my newly cleaned ears!I was still shocked that time and I don't know what to do.My other groupmate,Mary Jale,kept telling me that we should go to the stage to get our price but I told her to go alone because I don't want to be exposed.When she already got our prize,she then let me and our other groupmate,Grechelle,to see what our prize was.Three hundred pesos!It's not like everyday that you have a free one hundred pesos!We are only three in the group so it was really a coincidence to have exactly three hundred pesos as the cash prize which meant that each one of us can get ne hundred pesos.The awarding continued and declared the winners for the 3rd year and 4th year contests.Many students were surprised too when they heard their teams or groups being called.Many went home happy that day,many went home sad for not winning but for sure,veryone really enjoyed that Sci-tech week we had.


That Sci-tech week we had was really enjoyable with all the activities and educational contests.It was a very memorable week for me not just because I won something that week but because I learned some new interestng things about science that week.So let us improve Filipino lives through technological and scientific development!(chaar!)

My KOKO Robot

At first, I really didn't think that this KOKO robot project of mine and my two other classmates who were Mary Jale and Grechelle was going to be special to us.But during the awarding ceremony of our Sci-tech week,was the most unexpected thing that we have encountered.That day,KOKO robot was not just our project for the reused geometrical figure,it was a blessing in disguise.

KOKO robot was born during a dull Saturday morning inside our classroom which was the Palma room.This robot was not really planned to be made at all.It started when our teacher, Mrs.Kerr told the whole second year students to form one group with four members because she will give us a project.She then told us about the project which was to build a geometrical figure made up of reused things.I then asked Mary Jale to be a groupmate and we went to find another groupmate.Grechelle then became our other groupmate but we are lacking a 4th member for the project.We tried to look for a 4th member but it seemed that nobody was available already so we just decided to have the three of us as a group.It was also that time that we had a very long semestral break because of the ASEAN summit.Days passed without classes and me and my groupmates didn't care to plan any geometric at all.The three of us have communication but still we haven't decided to do any move yet because of laziness.We still want to enjoy the free days to enjoy watching television,to do anything that you want to do.Then days passed by and classes came quickly.Classes started again so we then met and plan to do something which was a failure.We have no idea on what to build.The deadline was getting nearer and nearer and still we haven't decided what to do yet.Then we came into a conclusion to build a robot.I suggested it.Some of our classmates told us that it was very hard to build a robot and that many of our classmates are also building a robot too but we continued on what we have planned.We planned to do it on a Saturday morning,same Saturday when we have a make-up class for P.E.There on the Palma floor,pieces of KOKO robot lay.Mary Jale and Grechelle brought different sizes of boxes while I brought the adhesives and I also bought the gluestick.We then started to form a robot.We didn't have any model to follow,we just kept on putting the boxes together and putting adhesives in it and ola!!We have formed a robot in less than one hour!At first,it can't stand on its own so we did something to balance it.When it was finished we then thought of a name for it.At first it was just a joke that we named it KOKO robot because the box that represents its body is a koko krunch box,but we then decided to baptize it as KOKO robot.We have seen the projects of our fellow Sophies and they were really beautiful and creative not like ours.The other projects were painted to make them more beautiful,it was really obvious that they really tried hard to come up with a beautiful projects again,not like us.

So awarding ceremony came and unexpectedly,the effortless made robot won the first place!And the surprise did not end there yet,as a price of winning the first place,we have received three hundred pesos!It was like it was really planned that we only have three members in the group.Each one of us had one hundred pesos.There then,I learned that we must not extenuate what we have made or anything that you are part of,instead we must be proud about it and see the nice side of it.KOKO robot,simply amazing!
