A Experience to Remember

When you attend  a  ball what usually makes it the most memorable? Is it the feeling of over joy? Is it the experience ? Or is it because of the people you get to know most, socialized with And whom you talked, dance, and sing with?

February 19,2018 -Monday,  Nabunturan National Comprehensive High School - Integrated Senior High School held a  masquerade  ball titled "That's Amore" exclusively for grade 12 students.

But if you're with your friends and with the important person of your life every minute and every moment with them you will really treasure and it would be very memorable.

I enjoyed the ball because I'm with my friends and they too have enjoyed it.  We take some pictures, share  some jokes about each others attire, etc.  This kind of gathering is worth it for it gives us time to spend with each other stress freely.

All and all this masquerade ball made my ball experience more memorable. I or we have enjoyed it.  It's one of my greatest experience. "In every happy happenings there will always be a memorable memories made to be reminiscence"

Realization

February 6, 2018, it is the day the three of us has ended our immersion. I am glad that in our last day of immersion Engr. Archie James A. Sumalinog is with us. In our last day there, he was still able to teach us how to use the meter tape to measure an area without over instrument, he manages to teach us how to write and use the lot data computation sheet  and gives idea on how to improve our writing skills in order to make our penmanship beautiful. He also share some tips about geodetic engineering and welcomes us anytime to visit him in his office in the future if we would like to learn more, that he is willing to teach and help us.

In that last day I am thankful that I have learned something from a licensed geodetic engineer.  It is an honor to be teached by him. I have realize in there that I really would want to become a geodetic engineer in the future and from the tips he gave us I know it really help us a lot. I know becoming a geodetic engineer would never be easy but like what he said that "if you want to then you can do it just don't give up".

 I would miss them. And I thank them for teaching and encouraging us. Thank you Engr. Sumalinog and ma'am Jenalyn.

 

The 18 things I learned

The most reason of having this immersion is for us to learn and understand the field we would choose in the future. During the immersion I have learned the 18 things I must apply and use in Geodetic Engineering.

                                                                                                                               

1. Leave no one behind. It's the saying geodetic engineer's believe, engineer said we should each other no matter what.

2. Patience is a virtue. For a person who always come early and never been late in the immersion venue is okay but if you always need to wait for almost 30 mins- 1 hour before your bosses arrive you should need a lot of patience.

3. I have learned to familiaize the azimuth and bearings I their ploting position.

4. I have develop a skill in plotting because thats what we have been doing it everyday.

5. I have familiarized the instruments/ tools that geodetic engineers use.

6. I have learned how to read a land title and how do they help geodetic engineers to identify the total area.

7. I have learned what the technical description are for.

8. I have learned the difference of blue print and AutoCAD.

9. I have learned how to find the northings, eastings, and distance of the land area.

10. I have learn how to make a vicinity map using the plotting by hand but not by using AutoCAD.

11. I have learn how to use the meter tape to find the distance of a certain area without using theodolite in small areas.

12. I have learn how to use the three side scale in plotting the distance or making illustrations.

13. I have learn how big the responsibility a geodetic engineer may face specially during land surveying.

14. I have learn some of the R.A's of geodetic engineer.

15. I have learn how to use the lot data computation.

16. I have learn that geodetic engineers need to survey land only of the weather is good.

17. I have learn that geodetic engineering studies the surface of the earth through science and appied math.

18. I have learned that we need geodetic engineer's because they have the power to survey each land area in the world and because of that they are important in this community.

Indeed, I have learn. I must use them in the future.

Imagination vs. Reality

January 24, 2018, Wednesday, we from science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) strand were finally immersed. The three of us Anro, Joshua and I where immersed in Sumalinog Surveying Services - a private surveying firm owned by a licensed geodetic engineer, Engr. Archie James A. Sumalinog.

It feels like finally we will be able to know the difference between imagination and reality. That we will be or going to experience and feel the works of a real geodetic engineer, this one brings me the excitement feeling.

At first I feel so intimidated by the presence of our supervisor because from his looks, he looks like a strict person but later on he tells us that he is honored that we want to take the path he is into. The first thing we did is on how to do the coordinates and how to plot them. That's so exciting !

Skills and knowledge : let's make use to it !

            January 5, 2018, Nabunturan National Comprehensive High School- Integrated Senior High School held a pre - immersion at the morning with the LGU guest speaker Mrs. Reynita L. Villan she tackles about the dos and donts that we should follow during working ours and the things we should prepare on applying a job and send-off ceremony at the afternoon for us Grade 12 students to unleash and prepare us in applying the knowledge and skills we have learned from our daily lessons in school. It is where we have had invited our parents to be with us during that day to witness the three-fourth success in high school life.

       Actually, I have been asking myself what a send-off would be like and why is it needed to ungergo? But, my question has been answered because that day I have come up to the idea that it was like a Prom where your partner is your parent and a graduation where you are ready to show to the world that you have learned and you have skills to make use and to practice. That we need to undergo thru it so we will be certified and acknowledge.

     Honestly, I am not expecting that auntie will be there, it's like I'm worrying that nobody is coming for me and I'll be lightning the candle myself. But there she is wearing one of her best dresses looking so sophisticated and respectable smiling and joining me to light the candle. I was happy that I had experienced this kind of ceremony in my high school along with my friends, classmates and my fellow Grade -12 students.

The ceremony ends with the speech of my classmate Sheryl Moana Marie Ollamina which has adored and agreed by everyone.and also the closing remarks of our immersion teacher and adviser Sir John Marco M. Suazo. All and all the ceremony  ends well like the quote " what starts we'll, ends well".

23rd Simballay Festival

As the Municipality of Nabunturan, Nabunturan, Compostela Valley celebrated their 23rd Simballay festival everyone from different barangays had cooperated to do the beautiful house booths which have had represented their barangays bountiful harvest, handy crafts, art works, etc.

All of the booth house are Beautiful But among the beautiful house booths of every barangays I found the top 3 most beautiful, unique and creative barangay. These barangays are from Barangay Manat Who really work hard to build their environmental theme house booth.

The Barangay Pangutosan who mirror and represent the coconut as the tree of life and the most abundant crop in their barangay.

The  Barangay Mipangi, the last but not  the least. The one who transformed the tree trunk into a cave, to made us know that they also have such thing.

All and all I have enjoyed the Simballay Festival along with my friends though, I was not able to witness the entire events they held. Still I was fascinated by its beauty and for what they had prepare for the incoming christmas.

It's Parent's Day

Thank you and offering flower's  are the simplest way you can do to make them feel special on Parent's day.

But,the least thing I  did during Parents Day is talk to my mom through phone. I really  did that which is so rare to happen because we're  not that close, we dont talk too much. It seems like there's  a thick  and huge wall between us.

Though, what I did is just ask her random questions like: how are you mom?  You okay now mom? Are my siblings at school? Etc. All because I've  remember that she's  a little  bit sick.  Only if PAPA is here, maybe I'll  feel happy and contented. But,  his not.

I love  my mom but I  dont show it through my actions and I  dont say it too.  It's  more on keeping it to myself. I have realized that day when I  talked to my mom that I  was so selfish because  I know she want to be happy especially  to be with us. So at the end of the day I  made my move. I thank her for giving me life and for molding me to become who I  am today,  lastly  I  said the 4 magical words. I love  you Mama.

When I  fall down, you give me a hand, when I  cry, you rub my tears and comfort me to be strong. Thank you  being with me Mama and Papa (up there) always.
