Rizalogging

blog-ni-pepeJose 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.

After Three days of Summer School

The first half week of summer classes has just ended and Im about to start another week of hot summer education and I mean that literally. As much as I like having an allowance and having an excuse to go out, the heat of classroom with a darkened glass wall magnifying the heat and making you look like a roast chicken inside an oven. I have to say I do like the classes I’m taking.

Histo 165 is interesting, not just because I like history but my teacher makes it really interesting. QMT 12 is a little boring because its during a dead hour (1:30-3pm) but my teacher there is way too talkative you won’t be able to sleep. JSP 103 is a little bit challenging right now because I’m a little rusty with my hiragana and I never got to perfect my katakana but it is still fun none-the-less.

I’m currently searching itunes U for more learning resources since I really wanna get high grades during my summer term so I can raise my QPI (what we call our GPA or GWA) before the school year starts. I really hope it will rain soon I can’t take this heat any longer
