Jose Rizal is a figure that can’t be left unspoken about when talking about the Philippines. This man of small stature but not of small ideas, has left such an impact in the country that entire provinces are named after him. Though his claim on the title of national hero is debatable his written works are some of the most important pieces of filipino literature.
As students of the Ateneo De Manila University, the same educational institution that Rizal attended, as Philippine Youth and History 165: Jose Rizal and the emergence of the Philippine Nation, we have created blogs that would show what Rizal would have said if he had a blog. Here’s a list of links to some the blogs we’ve created.

I’m in the middle of my first sem finals week and I’m totally drained. I just stayed up for like the whole night trying to study for my japanese exam and nothing went into my head. I can understand sentence structures and proper particle use but my vocabulary is really low and I haven’t really memorized my hiragana yet!
This has got to be the worst schedule of finals I ever had, I had my accounting final longtest monday evening and then economics final exam the next day! How are you supposed to study for something as heavy as economics when you’re going to come home from an exam that ends at 9pm! I don’t even want to think about what happened to those exams anymore they we’re disastrous! I wasn’t even able to solve one cash flow problem and I was guessing a lot of my answers in the multiple choice part!
I would have blogged about this sooner but I was just extremely busy with all my projects due last week. I did have one final exam that I really enjoyed and that was my latin-ballroom dancesport finals held at Savannah Moon in Libis, Quezon City. Imagine a final exam that takes place in a bar/ dance club where alcohol is allowed (though it cost Php 160 per bottle). It was really fun, I don’t think any of us cared anymore that it was an actual competition we just danced our hips off! Cindy and I made it to the Samba quarterfinals while Eya and I made it to the Rumba and Cha cha cha quarterfinals. It was really fun even though we had to wake up and get to school at 7:00 am the next day to practice and perform during the PE culminating events. I’m actually starting to like dancesport a lot too bad we didn’t learn all the latin dances, we missed out on one and it’s the most well latin out of all of them, the Paso Doble.
I got to get back to memorizing a few more words before I go for my Sociology Exam
