Critiquing Capstones: Embarking towards a Challenge of Caring for the Environment

As a person who loves learning new things and exploring innovative ideas, the capstone exhibit is surely something I enjoyed, and perhaps one of the things that will last in my brain’s memory box.

It was amazing — seeing how students a year older than us can make the most out of their learnings and integrate this to create an invention that is beneficial not just for the human, but, of course, to the environment as well. There are several capstone projects that I can vividly remember liking, and taking great interest upon, especially those who made me wonder: how did they even come up with this idea? It piqued my interest and held my attention as to why, among all the other possible ideas, they have chosen to come up with that one.

My favorite room would most probably be Saint Mary Magdalene’s room. For starters, it is very creative with how they maximized the use of their room, making it seem as if its a secret hideout for scientists. I love their creativeness and how they engaged us with every part of it. But for the display, I would say that the coolest one would have to be Saint Joan’s. Their tree in the middle of the room is so eye-catching, it leaves room for discovering what their whole concept is going to be about.

For the best capstone, I find myself struggling to choose between the Talahib Charcoal, Hope Desk, Trash Light, and BioPot. Their ideas, procedures, and overall performance are all great. I can surely say that they have done thorough research for their projects which resulted in visible and great apparent effort.

These kinds of tasks brought by schools are always something I look forward to as I can foresee the range of everyone’s capabilities, including mine, and see how much we can contribute in making the world a better place for everyone to live. In simpler words, it is as easy as 3R’s or Reduce-Reuse-Recycle, but in a much more futuristic way that promotes environmental sufficiency and caring for nature.

Perhaps, in simple challenges like this, ideas can be renowned and bring influential changes for the environment. That must be the goal for every project, and I believe it’s well-portrayed.

Grade 12 students did their best.

december has always been so mystical.

it draws people into pure joyous emotion and such happiness of togetherness. it’s christmas after all, and a hand to hold, a gift to receive, a food to enjoy, are some of its tradition. never minding the winter’s cold avalanche, being together is enough to build a fireplace in the hearts of everyone.

christmas is my favorite holiday. how can it be? everyone’s excited and are busy preparing for noche buena. all filipino cuisines are set on the long table, giggles and fits of laughters are what fills up the hall as everyone awaits the countdown reaching zero.

there comes santa claus, its reindeers, and elves, and sacks of gifts, and my parents doing their best to act like santa claus is real. it’s funny, and my childhood surely enjoyed it.

i hope the way christmas makes me feel will never change.

and i hope to see and experience white christmas very soon.

december— perhaps it’s one thing inevitable that forever is never sensible yet in the fall of ever so crystalline white specks of snows intertwine with the sunshine of freezing ray i will choose to stay only in the falter of your touch as the new year starts in such utterance; in the coldness of winter, make most of december— and in the embrace of each other comes the hope for it to linger

in november, i like to keep all reminders of why despite everything, i still find myself alive and breathing.

i like to remember tranquility.

i like to, along with the tranquil daylight, remember how the past never defined who i am in the present, and who i will be in the future.

this shall keep me alive for sometime. in preparation for the year’s most wonderful time, a moment to cherish and remember. before the year bids it farewell.

it's tranquility of the nearly-end of the year which brings peace.

november— remember— the days in the past proved how the present would pass and wish for future to last long longer longest i swear to never look up in the sky with tears cascading down my eye telling how much i regret all the i love you’s i forget remember, the love you left in november, it’s the only thing i ever felt

my birthday is in october. and since it’s my ultimate birth month, my favorite month of the year, i’ll share a couple facts about myself.

i’m a scorpio. i love looking up things about astrology, specifically mine, and comparing if its really accurate to my personality. so far, its flawless—i am what most people think of when they hear about scorpio. they say we are fierce, have a strong aura, and projects a maldita personality. but i don’t really think i am any of those. i love being a scorpio women. it sounds powerful. so i’m in this for as long as i can, i guess.

i’m an intj-t. mbti is really famous in korea, and of course, i just had to find out what’s mine. it turns out i have the rarest mbti ever. With about just 0.9% in females. i take pride on it. intj’s are said to be critical thinkers, and more of a career-oriented person. we are introverts, obviously with that I. we like art and all its forms. we are deemed to be tad cruel for fun. and we are extremely organized. the last one is probably true, so, in my part, if ever any minor inconvenience occurs, i am down to breakdown. that’s just how it is.

i am neither a dog person nor a cat person. simply because i have allergic rhinitis, and i cannot stand fur for a long time. which is, as claimed by most people i have met, the greatest tragedy of my life.

i am a sucker for palpitations. i can never function well enough over something so serious and urgent without caffeine in my system, or there will be bloodshed. i need to have palpitations, feel like i’m about to cross the rainbow bridge, before i can actually start being—what most people call it—productive.

strawberries are the best thing God has ever made. strawberries, in every form, in every kind, in every soul, in everything, is absolutely the best. strawberry cake? strawberry ICE CREAM? i’d sell my soul for it. thank you baguio.

i love kanto songs. i know. it’s jeje. it’s ew exb enjoyer ka? it’s yuck. but okay, let people enjoy what they want to enjoy! and kanto songs are not all about exb and skusta clee, it’s also about al james.

i am a carat. of course i’m a kpop enjoyer as well. meet user @everyone_woo in instagram, that’s my parasocial bf for real!

here are eight movies to get to know me! tangled the portrait of a lady on fire whisper of the heart pride and prejudice i’m drunk i love you the princess diaries 10 things i hate about you barbie diamond castle

to end, i also love bff fries! mcdo supremacy!
