XV - APC ANTI-SMOKING CAMPAIGN

Cigarettes are the material that is being used for smoking. As said to Merriam-Webster Dictionary, cigarette is a slender roll cut of tobacco enclosed in paper and meant to be smoked; also a similar roll of another substance (as marijuana). Smoking of cigarettes are the most common we see everywhere, mostly here in Philippines. There’s a lot of smoker that you can see wherever you may go. Maybe some of us are allergic to the smoke that has been exhaled by other people or the smoker itself.

Well, do we really know what is a head for you when you are a smoker? Lung Cancer. Yes, lung cancer. Because the nicotine will stick inside your lungs. Or let's just say, you're burning your own lungs.

XII - THESIS WRITING

I just want to share my thesis topic that have been approved by my prof. Though you may think this is just a little crap of shit. I don't care because this is the first time that I will make my own thesis. Because back in highschool, we also have a thesis project. But it's by group, so I don't give attention to it because I know to myself that I have my groupmates. Hey, I help and contribute to that thesis okay? Hahaha. But this thing, this is the first time that I will work for my own.

XI - WHAT MAKES SOMEONE A HERO?

Superman? Batman? Spiderman? Iron Man? Thor? Is this the people who we called a hero? Or maybe they are not the only one who we can call a hero. 

Well, what does the really meaning of being a hero? Hero is someone who's not afraid to step and correct what is wrong. A hero who will fight for what is right regardless of the situation. A hero will not even think of the consequences. All he or she knows is to help and fight for the others. A hero contains a lot of positive perspectives.

Anyone can be a hero. But being a hero is the someone who deserve for call him or her a hero. Because as we all know we consider being our National Hero is Jose Rizal for his a lot of contributions he have done for our country. He fight for so long to defend our country from the Spaniards who wants to steal our own country. Jose Rizal fights for the absurdity of the Spaniards. The Spaniards who call us Filipino a "mangmang". 

We, Filipinos can also be a hero. For a simple good deeds we can be a hero. For saving a cat or dog who's almost crash by an approaching car. For guiding the elders to cross by the passenger street. For helping others who are in need. 

Mostly we look to our parents as our hero. Because they never failed to guide us whenever we go. They never let us to hurt by someone. They teach us to learn how to stand up for our own when we tripped. Because they want us to be strong and confident. They never failed to let us feel how they really love us. Ever since when we're still in our mother's womb, they always look after us. They want to us to grow healthy, strong, smart, and kind.

I call my parents for being a hero because I know they always work hard for us. Mostly for me who's still studying in college. And my younger sister who's still a baby. They want us to give a good life and a good education. I see how they work so hard to give all what we need. Although they are so tired from work, they never let us feel that we are dead weight even though we are so hard headed.

Everyone of us has their own freedom. A freedom to act. A freedom to speak. Because all of us has their freedom. And we should use it for the right way. 

X - SOSCIT WEEK

As the SOSCIT week opened last July 28, 2015 there a lots of activities happened mostly for the field of SOSCIT. I remember as we officially open the SOSCIT Week, the Mr. and Ms. SOSCIT contestants had their opening walk along the parking lot. And there was this competition held for all of the field of SOSCIT and this was the Banner Contest and the theme was "Take It Back". The next day, there was this activity mostly for the freshmen of SOSCIT. I guess we all know the popular game of "Fame or Shame". There a lots of students performed in many different kinds of talent they want. Oh, almost I forgot, also within the day, we had our IT Quiz. Obviously it's all about IT Concepts.

July 30 came, this is the most awaiting event for all time. The Mr. and Ms. SOSCIT 2015. Actually, I'm one of the contestants here in this pageant but unfortunately, I didn't won. But atleast, there a lots of good memories and awesome experience with the people who's also one of the pageant and the organizers ofcourse. Though, it might be a little expensive to join a pageant, atleast it will be so unforgettable moment for all of us.



July 31 has came, the end of SOSCIT week. Though I was not in the last day of SOSCIT Week, I know that every each of us had a great time within that day. They had their Color Run, and I guess most of you know what it is. And for the computer gamers, they had a LOL Competition. And lastly, the event of the night is the SOSCIT Night. They had a guest bands. Actually, that time I was on the Facebook chat with my blockmate. Asking if how it goes the SOSCIT Night. And he said that we should come that time because there are so very few people are there by that time. So the organizers decided that instead that it's only for SOSCIT students, they opened it to all courses. And as time goes by, he's sending me a lot of pictures that they really having a great time. It was like a party inside a cafeteria. Where there a lot of people who are dancing, singing, jumping, taking selfies, and so fort.

And as I summarize my journey for the SOSCIT Week. Though it may be a little tough for me because of excuses in classes because of the practices. I never let myself to left behind. And becasue of this, I met a lot of great people who I can get along with. And ofcourse those new friends that I met too. Oh ofcourse, I will never forget that time that I was getting crazy because of the ice cream in cafeteria. And as my journey continues, I know that this is not yet the end and I know that there a lot of problems ahead that I must face and I should remember that this is just a stepping stone for my journey to success. As an IT student, I must work and study hard to accomplish what I really want.
